A row over child migrants coming to Britain -

I just think that the public have a right to have certainty

been criticised as unethical. The Home Office has insisted that

all individuals applying for asylum are already subject

:02:07.:02:09.

to rigorous vetting. In the twelve months

:02:10.:02:13.

to June there were nearly 3,500 asylum applications

:02:14.:02:18.

from unaccompanied children. Of those, about a fifth -

more than 600 - were More now from our home affair

correspondent, June Kelly. Welcome to the UK. The latest Calais

:02:23.:02:40.

arrivals were bussed into south London this afternoon. Among them

:02:41.:02:46.

was 13-year-old from Afghanistan. He was interviewed last week on the

:02:47.:02:51.

BBC, by the singer Lily Allen while he was in the Jungle. This morning

:02:52.:02:55.

as he prepared to leave he spoke about his hopes for his new life in

:02:56.:03:01.

the UK. I want to two school in London. To join my brothers to start

:03:02.:03:06.

a new life there. But not everyone is pleased to see

:03:07.:03:10.

all the refugees. Some are questioning whether they are all

:03:11.:03:14.

under 18. And whether they are eligible to come in under a scheme

:03:15.:03:18.

aimed at helping vulnerable children. So what screening

:03:19.:03:23.

procedures have they undergone? Firstly, there is an initial

:03:24.:03:27.

interview with French and British officials in Calais, and checks are

:03:28.:03:31.

carried out, once they arrive their finger prints are taken and more

:03:32.:03:34.

checks to see they haven't broken the law. Even if a refugee has lied

:03:35.:03:39.

about his age he can still try to claim asylum here. This is day three

:03:40.:03:43.

of a resettlement scheme which has taken a long way to plan and a short

:03:44.:03:47.

time to become controversial. Emotion is not a very good way of

:03:48.:03:51.

deciding policy. Sometimes we have to be hard headed, sit down and

:03:52.:03:54.

think what we are trying to achieve. If we want the help children that is

:03:55.:03:58.

great. I am in favour of that. I am not in favour of allowing people in

:03:59.:04:01.

their 20s to say I'm a child and come into the UK and make a mockery

:04:02.:04:06.

of our rules. The Jungle refugees have become the

:04:07.:04:12.

touch stone for what some see as the UK's belated response to the migrant

:04:13.:04:16.

crisis. Taking unaccompanied orphaned children, whether they are

:04:17.:04:20.

teenagers or younger, is the least we can do. Not the most we can do.

:04:21.:04:24.

So if a couple of 18-year-olds or 19-year-olds who have seen desperate

:04:25.:04:28.

things and seen those around them murdered in their communities in

:04:29.:04:32.

Syria, are given sanctuary in the United Kingdom, there is nothing

:04:33.:04:34.

criminal about that. I would be proud to help them. This boy came in

:04:35.:04:39.

on Monday to be reunited with his older brother. We are not showing

:04:40.:04:46.

his face because he is only 14. First, I had to get some documents

:04:47.:04:53.

to prove my brother was in the UK. I had two interviews in Calais, one

:04:54.:04:56.

with the French authorities, one with the British. Then when I

:04:57.:05:01.

arrived here on Monday, there was another check. Soon, the bulldozers

:05:02.:05:06.

will move into the Jungle, before they do, dozens more will pack up

:05:07.:05:10.

and leave the camp bound for Britain. This transfer scheme was

:05:11.:05:14.

always going to be high profile. Now, the up coming arrivals will

:05:15.:05:17.

Now, the up coming arrivals will come under intense scrutiny.

:05:18.:05:22.

Iraqi troops trying to drive so-called Islamic State from Mosul,

:05:23.:05:25.

its last remaining stronghold in the country, are now facing

:05:26.:05:27.

increasing resistance, with the extremist forces

:05:28.:05:29.

Iraqi security forces are working with Kurdish troops to try to retake

:05:30.:05:33.

Our correspondent Jonathan Beale has been with Iraqi Security forces

:05:34.:05:36.

on the ground and sent this report from the town of Qayyarah.

:05:37.:05:48.

There was a brief pause and a chance to regroup before the Iraqi army

:05:49.:05:52.

Around 70 villages still have to be cleared before

:05:53.:06:02.

We travelled with General Abbas as he prepared to advance.

:06:03.:06:13.

So-called Islamic State or Daesh fighters, had already been spotted.

:06:14.:06:16.

I'm going to put my troops to the left side

:06:17.:06:19.

After that the coalition forces will attack these guys

:06:20.:06:25.

Our goal is to let the citizens be safe.

:06:26.:06:35.

Three suicide truck bombs were approaching at speed.

:06:36.:06:56.

They put their foot down, taking evasive manoeuvres.

:06:57.:07:01.

Two attackers never reached their target.

:07:02.:07:06.

The Iraqi army finished off the third.

:07:07.:07:10.

Are you worried about truck bombs, the threat

:07:11.:07:22.

I will be ready, because they are my men.

:07:23.:07:30.

Reinforcements arrived with reports of more Islamic State

:07:31.:07:34.

While some of them were killed, most managed to escape.

:07:35.:07:54.

Back on the move, but it wasn't long before we were halted in our tracks.

:07:55.:08:03.

There were repeated harrying attacks.

:08:04.:08:05.

In one afternoon, they had barely moved forward a mile.

:08:06.:08:09.

And the fight is expected to be much tougher in Mosul,

:08:10.:08:12.

As we hastily pulled back, our Humvee crashed.

:08:13.:08:19.

We have been coming under heavy fire, we have been travelling up

:08:20.:08:22.

The vehicle got stuck and we had to come running back

:08:23.:08:30.

Our stranded Humvee and a trail of destruction suggests this

:08:31.:08:34.

Well, both the US and the Iraqi military still insist that the

:08:35.:08:50.

advance is still going according to plan, as to how long this will take,

:08:51.:08:55.

from here it looks like week, if not longer, but remember, the Iraqi

:08:56.:08:59.

security forces still have extra units on other fronts that have not

:09:00.:09:03.

yet been brought into the battle, so they do have more firepower.

:09:04.:09:08.

The battle for Mosul is in its third day and there are now signs

:09:09.:09:11.

of the humanitarian crisis that aid agencies have been predicting.

:09:12.:09:14.

Save the Children says that some 5,000 civilians have crossed

:09:15.:09:16.

In all, the UN believes hundreds of thousands could be made homeless

:09:17.:09:20.

Here's our diplomatic correspondent, James Landale.

:09:21.:09:32.

The flight of regees from Mosul has begun. These are some of those

:09:33.:09:38.

getting out while they have the chance. Many more are expected to

:09:39.:09:41.

follow as the fighting gets closer. That is, if they can escape the

:09:42.:09:48.

Islamic State fighter, desperate to keep them trapped inside. Trans we

:09:49.:09:53.

came, we raised the flag. Islamic State had run away and we walked

:09:54.:09:56.

towards the army with the flag, they told us, welcome. This is where the

:09:57.:10:01.

refugees are heading. New camps being set up round Mosul to take the

:10:02.:10:06.

tens if not hundreds of thousands that the UN expects will need

:10:07.:10:08.

humanitarian aid, adds the battle continues. A battle that diplomats

:10:09.:10:13.

say could last potentially for several months.

:10:14.:10:16.

Today we saw the first pictures of the role played by the RAF in the

:10:17.:10:21.

operation. Images released by the MoD showed a typhoon jet destroying

:10:22.:10:27.

an IS truck bomb south of the city. Unmanned RAF aircraft have used

:10:28.:10:31.

missiles to attack IS fight er, vehicles and mortar positions round

:10:32.:10:35.

the City. On the ground, Iraqi tanks and other forces continue to take

:10:36.:10:38.

control of villages to the south of Mosul. As the operation entered its

:10:39.:10:44.

third day. But its slow progress, these allied Kurdish fighters known

:10:45.:10:48.

as Peshmerga, advance from the north and east, but are still many miles

:10:49.:10:52.

from the city itself. But Islamic State fighters thought

:10:53.:10:56.

to number round 5,000, are keen to show they are putting up a stiff

:10:57.:11:00.

resistance, and released these pictures of them firing their

:11:01.:11:04.

weapons. The US military claimed their leaders have already begun to

:11:05.:11:07.

abandon them We have seen moving out of Mosul. We have indications that

:11:08.:11:12.

leaders have left, all I can tell you is there are fewer fighter,

:11:13.:11:18.

fighters than yesterday and there will be fewer tomorrow than today.

:11:19.:11:22.

So as the fighting continues these children at least have found some

:11:23.:11:26.

safety, but they are just a fraction of the more than one million people

:11:27.:11:30.

The Government has announced a U-turn over its plans to make

:11:31.:11:34.

all children who fail their end of primary school tests take re-sits

:11:35.:11:37.

Education Secretary Justine Greening said instead children

:11:38.:11:39.

would be offered support to catch up lost ground.

:11:40.:11:41.

Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg is in Westminster.

:11:42.:11:48.

Why have chair changed their mind The idea of more test for primary

:11:49.:11:55.

children, making them redo the same tests were, it got the thumbing down

:11:56.:12:00.

from teachers, parents and particularly from secondary schools.

:12:01.:12:03.

The official explanation in polite diplomatic terms is they have

:12:04.:12:08.

acknowledge had the pace of change was stretching, the less diplomatic

:12:09.:12:12.

way of putting it is basically this idea was not likely to get past the

:12:13.:12:18.

powerful teaching unions, there was the possible of boycotts and concern

:12:19.:12:21.

this idea was going to be frankly more trouble than it was worth. But

:12:22.:12:26.

in terms of what happens next, in the Government statement this

:12:27.:12:31.

afternoon, there was a promise of another consultation on primary

:12:32.:12:33.

assessments. There have been all sorts of changes and reforms to the

:12:34.:12:37.

education system in the last year, but that phrase suggests that the

:12:38.:12:41.

reform has been put on pause but it isn't the end of the changes the

:12:42.:12:42.

Government wants to make. Downing Street says Theresa May was

:12:43.:12:56.

made aware of tensions with the former head of the child abuse

:12:57.:13:01.

inquiry, the Prime Minister who set up the inquiry as Home Secretary

:13:02.:13:06.

told MPs there had been stories circulating about Dame low level

:13:07.:13:10.

Goddard but she couldn't have intervened on the basis of rumour.

:13:11.:13:14.

There have been calls for an inquiry into the level of violence in jails

:13:15.:13:17.

in England and Wales after a prisoner was

:13:18.:13:19.

stabbed to death at Pentonville Prison in London.

:13:20.:13:21.

Two other inmates are in a critical condition.

:13:22.:13:23.

The union the Prison Governors Association said staffing cuts had

:13:24.:13:25.

contributed to an increase in violence in prisons.

:13:26.:13:35.

It was around half past three yesterday afternoon that a London

:13:36.:13:41.

gang war spilled over into Pentonville Prison, with fatal

:13:42.:13:45.

results. This man, a 21-year-old serving time

:13:46.:13:49.

for hiding a machine gun was stabbed with a hunting knife and thrown from

:13:50.:13:53.

a balcony. Two men have been arrested. I blame the prison, I

:13:54.:14:00.

just, it's very disturbing how it is going on right now. I hope the place

:14:01.:14:04.

gets shut down as soon as possible. It is not safe. Pentonville has been

:14:05.:14:10.

notorious in cent year, built in the 1840s it imprison Morris than 1200

:14:11.:14:17.

men. The Monitoring Board said it should be knocked down or urgently

:14:18.:14:21.

upgraded. One issue has been the smuggling of drugs and weapons over

:14:22.:14:26.

the prison walls. Even drones have been used.

:14:27.:14:33.

It has been a perfect storm for prisons like Pentonville, an

:14:34.:14:35.

increasingly violent prison population, new drugs which have

:14:36.:14:39.

caused problems of debt and more violence and meanwhile the number of

:14:40.:14:44.

Prison Officers has fallen. This morning the Prison Officers'

:14:45.:14:46.

Association at Pentonville voted that it has no confidence in the

:14:47.:14:51.

Governor. Although it has become a symbol of the problems in other

:14:52.:14:56.

jails it is one of the worst. I was duty governor there over the

:14:57.:15:00.

weekend. We had prisoners fighting, we retrieved weapons from them. We

:15:01.:15:04.

had drugs come egg over the wall packed into tools so they could get

:15:05.:15:10.

through the netting. I saw three Prison Officers unlock a prisoner

:15:11.:15:14.

for a drug test and the abuse they received wassing in I have never

:15:15.:15:19.

seen before. Deaths and violence have gone up dramatically. The new

:15:20.:15:23.

:16:31.:16:34.

in four years' time. The probe has travelled more

:16:35.:16:38.

than 300 million miles. When it entered the Martian

atmosphere, it was travelling Live now to mission control

:16:41.:16:46.

in Germany, and our science on the one hand, a sense of triumph

:16:47.:17:07.

that an orbiting spacecraft is now circling Mars to study the

:17:08.:17:10.

atmosphere and look for clues about life on Mars. On the other hand, a

:17:11.:17:17.

land which was meant to touch down, well, we just don't know what has

:17:18.:17:21.

happened to it. Nervous times in mission control. Flight engineers

:17:22.:17:25.

wondering why the signal from their spacecraft suddenly stopped a minute

:17:26.:17:31.

before landing. We expected it to continue and clearly, it did not...

:17:32.:17:37.

They had managed to get an orbiting spacecraft to circle Mars, but the

:17:38.:17:40.

lander was key to future exploration.

:17:41.:17:43.

The tantalising question is whether the great canyons

:17:44.:17:45.

and craters scarring the surface of Mars might not be

:17:46.:17:47.

So this mission is testing new ways of getting there.

It looks like something out of Doctor Who, but it's designed

:18:21.:18:22.

to pave the way to a new understanding of Mars.

:18:23.:18:25.

A lot can be learned by orbiting Mars.

:18:26.:18:27.

But the key to the search for life is landing.

:18:28.:18:34.

It's the door to future exploration, it's the door to getting people

:18:35.:18:37.

And if you want to search for signs of life and find them physically,

:18:38.:18:42.

you've got to get down to the surface and do it.

:18:43.:18:44.

The plan is to follow today's mission with a robotic rover

:18:45.:18:47.

It's possible there used to be life on Mars, and maybe there still is.

:18:48.:18:55.

All this is very poignant for British science.

:18:56.:19:00.

Remember the Beagle II spacecraft and its charismatic

:19:01.:19:02.

His mission to Mars in 2003 didn't work.

:19:03.:19:10.

He died two years ago, but his legacy lives on.

:19:11.:19:17.

For us, I think we've got a great sense of pride that actually the

:19:18.:19:25.

legacy dad left behind is not necessarily the instruments and the

:19:26.:19:31.

technology of Beagle II, but the fact that he was so inspirational to

:19:32.:19:34.

the people currently involved in these missions.

:19:35.:19:36.

The big puzzle is whether we are alone in the universe.

:19:37.:19:39.

And each mission to Mars takes us closer to the answer.

:19:40.:19:42.

The DJ Tony Blackburn is to return to Radio 2 and BBC

:19:43.:19:45.

He had lost his job in February after the BBC said his evidence

:19:46.:19:50.

to an inquiry into sexual abuse at the Corporation "fell short"

:19:51.:19:53.

The DJ has always denied any wrongdoing, and claimed he had

:19:54.:19:59.

Welcome to the exciting new sound of Radio 1...

:20:00.:20:04.

He's a broadcasting legend - the first voice on Radio 1

:20:05.:20:06.

when it launched in 1967, a constant presence on the BBC

:20:07.:20:09.

and commercial radio in the decades since.

:20:10.:20:13.

But earlier this year, he was fired.

:20:14.:20:17.

Tony Blackburn was sacked back in February because of this -

:20:18.:20:21.

Dame Janet Smith's review into Jimmy Savile and the BBC.

:20:22.:20:25.

In 1971, a 15-year-old girl called Claire McAlpine committed suicide.

:20:26.:20:30.

She claimed she'd been seduced by Tony Blackburn

:20:31.:20:34.

after a visit to Top Of The Pops, something he's always

:20:35.:20:37.

But he also denied having been interviewed by BBC bosses

:20:38.:20:41.

In her report, Dame Janet concluded he probably had been interviewed,

:20:42.:20:49.

and the BBC preferred her version to Tony Blackburn's.

:20:50.:20:54.

At the time, Tony Blackburn claimed the BBC had offered him a deal -

:20:55.:20:57.

resign and we will have you back in a few months' time.

:20:58.:21:01.

He rejected that, because he said he had nothing to hide.

:21:02.:21:04.

Now they've decided to have him back after all.

:21:05.:21:06.

Blackburn and the BBC have kissed and made up.

:21:07.:21:09.

A terse statement quoted him as saying...

:21:10.:21:20.

I would be very surprised if Tony Blackburn has

:21:21.:21:26.

As to what they actually said and whether that has precipitated

:21:27.:21:31.

the BBC's change of heart, if you like, I don't know.

:21:32.:21:36.

What I do know is that internally, there was a lot of bad feeling

:21:37.:21:39.

So, soon he'll be back - as always, a smiling,

:21:40.:21:44.

friendly voice in the listener's ear.

:21:45.:21:53.

Tonight sees the two rivals for the US presidency goat head-to-head in

:21:54.:22:00.

their final TV debate. For Donald Trump, it is a prime-time chance to

:22:01.:22:04.

regain the momentum which appears to be slipping away from him. But as

:22:05.:22:07.

Jon Sopel reports, Hillary Clinton has challenges of her own.

:22:08.:22:11.

This is a city where you can win big and invariably, lose even bigger.

:22:12.:22:17.

Most things that Donald Trump has touched have turned to gold.

:22:18.:22:21.

But in this presidential race, he's started to fall behind.

:22:22.:22:30.

And whisper it quietly, he might end up the loser.

:22:31.:22:34.

So tonight, in the final debate, Donald Trump, like never

:22:35.:22:43.

Does he gamble on a scorched earth policy in an attempt to drag

:22:44.:22:48.

Or does he try to look presidential, calm and measured, and put his chips

:22:49.:22:54.

Hi, my name is Maria, I'm a volunteer at the Nevada

:22:55.:23:00.

And this is where Hillary Clinton is better resourced

:23:01.:23:10.

I was calling to see if we still have your support

:23:11.:23:14.

More field offices, more staff, and in South Nevada alone,

:23:15.:23:21.

they've registered more than 150,000 more Democratic

:23:22.:23:23.

voters than the Trump campaign have Republicans.

:23:24.:23:24.

The next three weeks will yield more conversations

:23:25.:23:27.

with voters around the country, more knocking on doors,

:23:28.:23:30.

more phone calls, more volunteers getting out the vote.

:23:31.:23:32.

And really the excitement of the electorate,

:23:33.:23:34.

who are continuing to tune in more and more every day.

:23:35.:23:37.

This is one of Donald Trump's only offices in Nevada.

:23:38.:23:40.

His campaign team never returned our calls.

:23:41.:23:45.

But we caught up with his supporters downtown as they waited

:23:46.:23:48.

They may not have infrastructure, but they have a mass

:23:49.:23:52.

Every time I've gone to any type of rally,

:23:53.:24:01.

They're showing up because there is a round game.

:24:02.:24:06.

He is not getting a fair shake, and that's why I'm here.

:24:07.:24:09.

He is going to change our country, he is going to do really

:24:10.:24:12.

Moments after that, Donald Trump's convoy swept into the hotel.

:24:13.:24:16.

He needs a small miracle tonight to turn things round.

:24:17.:24:18.

But Nevada is full of people convinced their luck

:24:19.:24:20.

It's almost a year since the world looked on in horror

:24:21.:24:26.

In the aftermath, the words of one man seemed to capture

:24:27.:24:31.

His wife, Helene, died in the Bataclan theatre.

:24:32.:24:42.

His letter addressed to the attackers entitled

:24:43.:24:44.

"You Will Not Have My Hate" was viewed by tens

:24:45.:24:47.

Our Europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas has been back

:24:48.:24:52.

On Friday night you stole away the life of an exceptional being.

:24:53.:24:58.

The love of my life, the mother of my son.

:24:59.:25:00.

I do not know who you are and I don't want to know.

:25:01.:25:05.

Today, Antoine Leiris remains defiant, dignified,

:25:06.:25:12.

For me it's the only way to not fall in craziness.

:25:13.:25:22.

Yes, sometimes it's difficult, sometimes hate comes and knocks

:25:23.:25:41.

on my door and says, "Hey, I'm there, and simple,

:25:42.:25:46.

on my door and says, "Hey, I'm there, I'm simple,

:25:47.:25:48.

You can go with me, it will be easier for you."

:25:49.:25:53.

But I just let her out of our house and yes, I think it was

:25:54.:25:57.

How he dealt with the loss of his wife Helene at the Bataclan.

:25:58.:26:06.

When you close a dead person's eyes, you give them back a little

:26:07.:26:09.

She looks like the woman I watch wake up each morning.

:26:10.:26:15.

I want to lie next to her languorous body, warm her up, tell her she's

:26:16.:26:19.

It was like the walls of my room when I was alone were

:26:20.:26:24.

And I was like suffocating, and it was like...

:26:25.:26:33.

So, writing has been Antoine's escape,

:26:34.:26:41.

a way to keep alive his connection with his wife.

:26:42.:26:45.

He buried Helene here in Montmartre, and while he bears no hatred

:26:46.:26:48.

towards her killers, there is one thing Antoine has

:26:49.:26:50.

Because it's a connection to your wife?

:26:51.:27:07.

Because it's a testimony, like, even a physical

:27:08.:27:08.

You felt it inside you, very strongly.

:27:09.:27:13.

It's the testimony of how I loved Helene.

:27:14.:27:27.

Let's have a look at the weather. This was the scene earlier on on the

:27:28.:27:37.

north coast of Norfolk. The strong winds and the showers continuing at

:27:38.:27:42.

the moment in Norfolk and pushing towards Suffolk. Quite a blustery

:27:43.:27:47.

night in eastern England. The further west you are, clearer skies.

:27:48.:27:58.

There could be a touch of frost around first thing in the morning. A

:27:59.:28:01.

few mist and fog patches in the north and west. There will be some

:28:02.:28:10.

showers down across eastern England but not as many as today. The vast

:28:11.:28:25.

majority will stay dry. The winds in the east will be a bit lighter than

:28:26.:28:28.

today. Thursday night into Friday, increased cloud for Northern Ireland

:28:29.:28:36.

and the west of Scotland. A chilly start for the bulk of England and

:28:37.:28:40.

Wales on Friday. Much more cloud for Northern Ireland, and for the

:28:41.:28:42.

Highlands and Islands, occasional rain. Into the weekend, high

:28:43.:28:50.

pressure across Scandinavia, low pressure towards the south-west.

:28:51.:28:55.

That means easterly winds will be set to pick up across the UK this

:28:56.:28:59.

weekend, which will bring chilly conditions across the northern half

:29:00.:29:03.

of the country especially. This weekend, roughly speaking, strong

:29:04.:29:05.

easterly winds. Time now for us to join the BBC's

news teams where you
