:08:20. > :08:22.her campaign. Donald thinks belittling women makes him bigger.
:08:23. > :08:27.He goes after their dignity, their self worth. I don't think there is a
:08:28. > :08:31.woman anywhere who doesn't know what that feels like. Nobody has more
:08:32. > :08:37.respect for women than I do. Nobody. Nobody has more respect. Please
:08:38. > :08:41.everybody. The moderator intervened because the audience was laughing.
:08:42. > :08:52.There was exchangeses on guns, abortion and immigration. This on

:08:58. > :09:03.will Donald's, but what we want to do is replenish... Such a nasty
:09:04. > :09:06.woman. Then came the truly astonishing moment. Donald Trump
:09:07. > :09:12.alleged that the election is being rigged. His daughter and his running
:09:13. > :09:17.mate said they would accept the verdict of the American people so
:09:18. > :09:21.will Mr Trump? I will look at it at the time. What I have seen, what I
:09:22. > :09:27.have seen is so bad. She should never have been allowed to run for
:09:28. > :09:30.the presidency based on what she did with e-mails and sew many other
:09:31. > :09:36.things. Are you saying you're not prepared to stick to that principle?
:09:37. > :09:41.I'll tell you at the time, I'll keep you in suspense. That's horrifying.
:09:42. > :09:45.Every time Donald thinks things are not going in his direction, he
:09:46. > :09:51.claims whatever it is is rigged against him, there was a time when
:09:52. > :09:55.he didn't get an Emmy or his TV programme three years in a row and
:09:56. > :10:03.he thwarted that the Emmies were rigged... I should have gotten it!
:10:04. > :10:06.This is how Donald thinks and it is funny, but it is really troubling.
:10:07. > :10:12.Election fraud is rare in the US and after the debate, the spin room
:10:13. > :10:16.lived up to its name as Trump sur gates sought to explain what he
:10:17. > :10:21.meant. Donald Trump has to see how close the election is. If it is a
:10:22. > :10:27.400 margin in the election then there might be a question of voter
:10:28. > :10:31.fraud. If it is a 4 million margin, there won't be. This is...
:10:32. > :10:35.REPORTER: Were you surprised? That's the answer I would have given.
:10:36. > :10:39.Lagging behind in the polls, Donald Trump needed to change the
:10:40. > :10:44.trajectory of this race. He needed to win big, but he didn't, but he
:10:45. > :10:49.created a new storm that goes to the heart of American democracy.
:10:50. > :10:55.It is fair to say many of Donald Trump's advisers were aghast at what
:10:56. > :10:59.he said in the debate. We have had that clarification, I will accept a
:11:00. > :11:02.clear election result, but I will reserve the right to file a legal
:11:03. > :11:08.challenge. Donald Trump is trying to put out a fire he started. Election
:11:09. > :11:14.fraud is rare in the US. The most detailed surveys showed over one
:11:15. > :11:21.billion votes cast over a ten year period, there were 31 cases of voter
:11:22. > :11:26.impersonation. Some analysts say it is Donald Trump laying the
:11:27. > :11:30.groundwork for a defeat. One other problem re-emerged today. Another
:11:31. > :11:31.woman has come out to say that he made unwanted sexual advances
:11:32. > :11:40.towards her. Sophie.
:11:41. > :11:46.A Royal Navy destroyer and a frig at have been sent to shadow a group of
:11:47. > :11:50.Russian warships. The ships including Russia's only aircraft
:11:51. > :11:59.carrier and a battle cruiser are believed to be heading to the
:12:00. > :12:02.eastern Mediterranean. Well, our diplomatic correspondent James
:12:03. > :12:07.Robins is in Moscow. Do we know what the Russian warships are doing?
:12:08. > :12:10.Well, the Kremlin and President Putin are clearly combining military
:12:11. > :12:15.purpose with a bit of political theatre. I mean, first the military
:12:16. > :12:19.purpose. By sending a large naval detachment and deploying their
:12:20. > :12:27.flagship care craft carrier to a combat zone for the first time,
:12:28. > :12:34.Russia is reinforce its ability to strike at targets. It must be
:12:35. > :12:39.assumed they may go back to bombing and they may accelerate what they
:12:40. > :12:42.believe is their ability to destroy all opposition within Aleppo before
:12:43. > :12:45.the end of the year and certainly before whoever is elected, the next
:12:46. > :12:50.American president takes office. There is the political theatre I
:12:51. > :12:55.think Russia is taunting France and perhaps to a greater extent Britain
:12:56. > :12:59.saying to the Royal Navy, do you don't have an operational aircraft
:13:00. > :13:03.carrier, we're doing this because we can and you don't join the fight in
:13:04. > :13:07.Syria, we have and we can win it because we're a great power. James
:13:08. > :13:14.Robins, thank you. MPs have backed a proposal to strip
:13:15. > :13:21.the former owner of BHS Sir Philip Green of his knighthood. Sir Philip
:13:22. > :13:25.was accused in armed of asset stripping. The businessman insists
:13:26. > :13:30.that he is working on a deal which will resolve the issue. Here is
:13:31. > :13:36.Simon Jack. This knight of the realm has been described by many as more
:13:37. > :13:46.like an emperor and today they came to bury him and not to praise him. A
:13:47. > :13:55.billionaire who should never receive the knighthood. A billionaire who
:13:56. > :13:59.shamed British capitalism. BHS one of the greatest scandals. The House
:14:00. > :14:03.has sympathy for the thousands of workers who have lost their jobs and
:14:04. > :14:07.seen their benefits decreased as a result of greed. Stripped Green of
:14:08. > :14:12.his knighthood. Take him to task and maybe get him to sell a few of his
:14:13. > :14:17.super yachts. This wasn't really much of a debate and some MPs were
:14:18. > :14:21.uneasy. To call for another committee to strip somebody of an
:14:22. > :14:26.honour when the normal process that one is only taken away when somebody
:14:27. > :14:30.has committed a criminal offence is abuse of the House of Commons. Let's
:14:31. > :14:35.not forget 11,000 people lost their jobs. Jean was one and she was very
:14:36. > :14:39.clear about what should happen. I think he should be stripped of his
:14:40. > :14:44.knighthood, 100%. He doesn't realise what he has done to everybody and
:14:45. > :14:49.he's swanning around with a knighthood. It is not fair for what
:14:50. > :14:53.everybody else has gone through. Today's motion does not mean that
:14:54. > :14:56.Sir Philip Green will lose his knighthood, any decision will be
:14:57. > :15:01.made in Whitehall. It is very rare for people not found guilty of doing
:15:02. > :15:05.anything illegal to lose honours. Fred Goodwin of RBS fame is the last
:15:06. > :15:09.and most famous example. But it seems Sir Philip has become the new
:15:10. > :15:15.poster boy for popular and political mistrust in business.
:15:16. > :15:21.During her party conference to reason they made a thinly sky 's
:15:22. > :15:26.attack on him. A director who takes up massive dividends while knowing
:15:27. > :15:35.the company pension is about to go bust. I'm putting you on warning.
:15:36. > :15:39.This can't go on any more. Sir Philip was watching the event in
:15:40. > :15:43.Parliament today. Whatever happens to his knighthood is only redemption

:21:07. > :21:15.Pharmacists certainly don't love it, and the money they get from the
:21:16. > :21:20.government will be cut, but there will be extra support for pharmacies

:21:25. > :21:28.One of them qualifies for the higher funding but overall, he says he'll
:21:29. > :21:32.lose out. We are not protected. They are giving something with the right
:21:33. > :21:35.hand and taking away with the left. Overall will be worse off and
:21:36. > :21:41.running at a loss. The government is in effect saying there are too many
:21:42. > :21:45.pharmacies. Here in St Albans there is one over there and you don't have
:21:46. > :21:50.to go very far to find another, and there are others within a short
:21:51. > :21:52.distance as well. On some high streets around the country there are
:21:53. > :21:58.literally a dozen pharmacies or more. There have been predictions
:21:59. > :22:02.that financial cuts will result in pharmacy closures, so how do
:22:03. > :22:05.customers feel about that? I think it's a bit contradictory with things
:22:06. > :22:09.they've previously said about encouraging people to come to
:22:10. > :22:12.pharmacies rather than going to hospital or their GPs. I think you
:22:13. > :22:16.could reduce a few, when there is a lot in a town obviously they are all
:22:17. > :22:20.competing against each other and they are all more or less selling
:22:21. > :22:24.the same sort of things. I think we do need them, whenever you go in
:22:25. > :22:29.there is always a big queue. They are essential services and it would
:22:30. > :22:33.be a shame to lose than. NHS chiefs say the aim is to make better use of
:22:34. > :22:37.government funding for pharmacies while improving the service. This is
:22:38. > :22:42.not about closures, it's about increasing efficiency, but changing
:22:43. > :22:46.the way that pharmacists practice as well.
:22:47. > :22:52.But the Scottish and Welsh government say they have no plans to
:22:53. > :22:54.cut community pharmacy budgets and Labour MPs said the policy in
:22:55. > :22:56.England was a false economy and would lead to more pressure on
:22:57. > :22:57.hospitals and GPs. Campaigners have welcomed a move
:22:58. > :23:00.to pardon thousands of gay and bisexual men who were convicted
:23:01. > :23:02.of sex offences, now abolished, The majority of pardons
:23:03. > :23:07.will be posthumous - but some say it's wrong to offer
:23:08. > :23:22.a pardon, if no offence Out and proud, there is nothing to
:23:23. > :23:27.hide in Manchester 's gay village but it wasn't always this way. 50
:23:28. > :23:33.years ago doing this could land gay men in jail. The world War II mac
:23:34. > :23:39.code-breaker Alan Turing was prosecuted for gross indecency with
:23:40. > :23:43.another man. He took his own life as a result. This memorial in
:23:44. > :23:48.Manchester remembers Alan Turing as the father of computer science and
:23:49. > :23:54.as a victim of prejudice. After he was pardoned his family campaigned
:23:55. > :24:00.for other prosecuted gay men to be given the same treatment. No the
:24:01. > :24:05.so-called during law will be extended to thousands of men who
:24:06. > :24:10.will receive formal pardons. Man I spoke to in Manchester welcome the
:24:11. > :24:14.decision. Some of my friends who grew up back then had to hide away,
:24:15. > :24:18.they were made to be criminals, they were not criminals but they were
:24:19. > :24:22.made to feel like they wear. I do think they should go a step further
:24:23. > :24:26.and apologise. It wasn't nice I imagine, to be walking down the
:24:27. > :24:31.street and not be able to hold hands. If it wasn't for those people
:24:32. > :24:36.we would not be able to do that today. We have to remember what they
:24:37. > :24:42.went through for us. It's not something that is generally wrong in
:24:43. > :24:47.society. But not all campaigners agree that pardoned convicted men is
:24:48. > :24:52.appropriate. We introduced two of them, young activist Daniel Harris
:24:53. > :24:57.and 93-year-old George Montague who has a conviction for gross indecency
:24:58. > :25:00.but does not want a pardon. Why should we have criminal records? Why
:25:01. > :25:07.should we be asking for forgiveness which is what a pardon is for
:25:08. > :25:12.something which we have no control over whatsoever? I see a pardon as a
:25:13. > :25:17.way forward, but it's not enough. And I completely ask for the
:25:18. > :25:22.government to actually give an official apology and put right the
:25:23. > :25:27.wrongs from the past. Men eligible for pardons will have to apply to
:25:28. > :25:30.the Home Office. Alan Turing's family say they are glad other men
:25:31. > :25:33.will finally receive the same justice as him.

:27:59. > :28:00.evening and overnight, dying back to North Sea coasts. Further west,
:28:01. > :28:04.clear skies, at this time of year temperatures will fall away we could
:28:05. > :28:07.see a touch of frost in the countryside as temperatures reach
:28:08. > :28:11.freezing. We could start with mist and fog patches which will slowly
:28:12. > :28:15.lift away and we will see a good slice of sunshine for many of us yet
:28:16. > :28:19.again. A few sharp showers across East Anglia and the south-east which

:28:34. > :28:42.weekend, we keep some sunny spells, there will be early fog and frost
:28:43. > :28:47.around. There's not going to be that much in the way of change, winds
:28:48. > :28:51.will start to strengthen down into the South West with the threat of
:28:52. > :28:56.this area of low pressure bringing rain to the south-west by the end of
:28:57. > :28:59.the weekend but generally speaking if you have outdoor plans I don't
:29:00. > :29:04.think you will be too disappointed. A good deal of usable weather out
:29:05. > :29:07.there. Largely dry and sunny at times but the temperatures will
