I think they want fame or herald campaign did it and I think it is

:08:16.:08:19.

her campaign. Donald thinks belittling women makes him bigger.

:08:20.:08:22.

He goes after their dignity, their self worth. I don't think there is a

:08:23.:08:27.

woman anywhere who doesn't know what that feels like. Nobody has more

:08:28.:08:31.

respect for women than I do. Nobody. Nobody has more respect. Please

:08:32.:08:37.

everybody. The moderator intervened because the audience was laughing.

:08:38.:08:41.

There was exchangeses on guns, abortion and immigration. This on

:08:42.:08:52.

Social Security benefits. My Social Security contribution will go up as

:08:53.:08:57.

will Donald's, but what we want to do is replenish... Such a nasty

:08:58.:09:03.

woman. Then came the truly astonishing moment. Donald Trump

:09:04.:09:06.

alleged that the election is being rigged. His daughter and his running

:09:07.:09:12.

mate said they would accept the verdict of the American people so

:09:13.:09:17.

will Mr Trump? I will look at it at the time. What I have seen, what I

:09:18.:09:21.

have seen is so bad. She should never have been allowed to run for

:09:22.:09:27.

the presidency based on what she did with e-mails and sew many other

:09:28.:09:30.

things. Are you saying you're not prepared to stick to that principle?

:09:31.:09:36.

I'll tell you at the time, I'll keep you in suspense. That's horrifying.

:09:37.:09:41.

Every time Donald thinks things are not going in his direction, he

:09:42.:09:45.

claims whatever it is is rigged against him, there was a time when

:09:46.:09:51.

he didn't get an Emmy or his TV programme three years in a row and

:09:52.:09:55.

he thwarted that the Emmies were rigged... I should have gotten it!

:09:56.:10:03.

This is how Donald thinks and it is funny, but it is really troubling.

:10:04.:10:06.

Election fraud is rare in the US and after the debate, the spin room

:10:07.:10:12.

lived up to its name as Trump sur gates sought to explain what he

:10:13.:10:16.

meant. Donald Trump has to see how close the election is. If it is a

:10:17.:10:21.

400 margin in the election then there might be a question of voter

:10:22.:10:27.

fraud. If it is a 4 million margin, there won't be. This is...

:10:28.:10:31.

REPORTER: Were you surprised? That's the answer I would have given.

:10:32.:10:35.

Lagging behind in the polls, Donald Trump needed to change the

:10:36.:10:39.

trajectory of this race. He needed to win big, but he didn't, but he

:10:40.:10:44.

created a new storm that goes to the heart of American democracy.

:10:45.:10:49.

It is fair to say many of Donald Trump's advisers were aghast at what

:10:50.:10:55.

he said in the debate. We have had that clarification, I will accept a

:10:56.:10:59.

clear election result, but I will reserve the right to file a legal

:11:00.:11:02.

challenge. Donald Trump is trying to put out a fire he started. Election

:11:03.:11:08.

fraud is rare in the US. The most detailed surveys showed over one

:11:09.:11:14.

billion votes cast over a ten year period, there were 31 cases of voter

:11:15.:11:21.

impersonation. Some analysts say it is Donald Trump laying the

:11:22.:11:26.

groundwork for a defeat. One other problem re-emerged today. Another

:11:27.:11:30.

woman has come out to say that he made unwanted sexual advances

:11:31.:11:31.

towards her. Sophie.

:11:32.:11:40.

A Royal Navy destroyer and a frig at have been sent to shadow a group of

:11:41.:11:46.

Russian warships. The ships including Russia's only aircraft

:11:47.:11:50.

carrier and a battle cruiser are believed to be heading to the

:11:51.:11:59.

eastern Mediterranean. Well, our diplomatic correspondent James

:12:00.:12:02.

Robins is in Moscow. Do we know what the Russian warships are doing?

:12:03.:12:07.

Well, the Kremlin and President Putin are clearly combining military

:12:08.:12:10.

purpose with a bit of political theatre. I mean, first the military

:12:11.:12:15.

purpose. By sending a large naval detachment and deploying their

:12:16.:12:19.

flagship care craft carrier to a combat zone for the first time,

:12:20.:12:27.

Russia is reinforce its ability to strike at targets. It must be

:12:28.:12:34.

assumed they may go back to bombing and they may accelerate what they

:12:35.:12:39.

believe is their ability to destroy all opposition within Aleppo before

:12:40.:12:42.

the end of the year and certainly before whoever is elected, the next

:12:43.:12:45.

American president takes office. There is the political theatre I

:12:46.:12:50.

think Russia is taunting France and perhaps to a greater extent Britain

:12:51.:12:55.

saying to the Royal Navy, do you don't have an operational aircraft

:12:56.:12:59.

carrier, we're doing this because we can and you don't join the fight in

:13:00.:13:03.

Syria, we have and we can win it because we're a great power. James

:13:04.:13:07.

Robins, thank you. MPs have backed a proposal to strip

:13:08.:13:14.

the former owner of BHS Sir Philip Green of his knighthood. Sir Philip

:13:15.:13:21.

was accused in armed of asset stripping. The businessman insists

:13:22.:13:25.

that he is working on a deal which will resolve the issue. Here is

:13:26.:13:30.

Simon Jack. This knight of the realm has been described by many as more

:13:31.:13:36.

like an emperor and today they came to bury him and not to praise him. A

:13:37.:13:46.

billionaire who should never receive the knighthood. A billionaire who

:13:47.:13:55.

shamed British capitalism. BHS one of the greatest scandals. The House

:13:56.:13:59.

has sympathy for the thousands of workers who have lost their jobs and

:14:00.:14:03.

seen their benefits decreased as a result of greed. Stripped Green of

:14:04.:14:07.

his knighthood. Take him to task and maybe get him to sell a few of his

:14:08.:14:12.

super yachts. This wasn't really much of a debate and some MPs were

:14:13.:14:17.

uneasy. To call for another committee to strip somebody of an

:14:18.:14:21.

honour when the normal process that one is only taken away when somebody

:14:22.:14:26.

has committed a criminal offence is abuse of the House of Commons. Let's

:14:27.:14:30.

not forget 11,000 people lost their jobs. Jean was one and she was very

:14:31.:14:35.

clear about what should happen. I think he should be stripped of his

:14:36.:14:39.

knighthood, 100%. He doesn't realise what he has done to everybody and

:14:40.:14:44.

he's swanning around with a knighthood. It is not fair for what

:14:45.:14:49.

everybody else has gone through. Today's motion does not mean that

:14:50.:14:53.

Sir Philip Green will lose his knighthood, any decision will be

:14:54.:14:56.

made in Whitehall. It is very rare for people not found guilty of doing

:14:57.:15:01.

anything illegal to lose honours. Fred Goodwin of RBS fame is the last

:15:02.:15:05.

and most famous example. But it seems Sir Philip has become the new

:15:06.:15:09.

poster boy for popular and political mistrust in business.

:15:10.:15:15.

During her party conference to reason they made a thinly sky 's

:15:16.:15:21.

attack on him. A director who takes up massive dividends while knowing

:15:22.:15:26.

the company pension is about to go bust. I'm putting you on warning.

:15:27.:15:35.

This can't go on any more. Sir Philip was watching the event in

:15:36.:15:39.

Parliament today. Whatever happens to his knighthood is only redemption

:15:40.:15:43.

may be sorting the pension mess that still hangs over him.

:15:44.:15:44.

Theresa May is in Brussels for her first European

:15:45.:15:50.

She is under pressure to reveal more about Britain's Brexit strategy.

:15:51.:15:59.

He did take on five litres of blackcurrant squash but he's a big

:16:00.:16:11.

lad. The gorilla that raided the store cage at London zoo.

:16:12.:16:13.

Captain Wayne Rooney could return to the staring line up

:16:14.:16:17.

for Manchester United's Europa League match against Fenerbache

:16:18.:16:19.

Southampton are facing Inter Milan at the San Siro.

:16:20.:16:31.

Iraq's Prime Minister says the operation to recapture the city

:16:32.:16:34.

of Mosul, the last major stronghold of so-called Islamic State

:16:35.:16:36.

extremists in the country, is progressing faster than planned.

:16:37.:16:42.

IS control a large area around Mosul, where one and a half million

:16:43.:16:45.

In the past 48 hours Iraqi government forces have made

:16:46.:16:49.

And today their Kurdish Peshmerga allies launched a major

:16:50.:16:55.

offensive north and east of the city.

:16:56.:16:57.

Our correspondent Orla Guerin is with Kurdish forces attacking

:16:58.:16:59.

Singing of bravery on their way into battle.

:17:00.:17:12.

Kurdish Peshmerga fighters shoulder to shoulder, knowing dawn

:17:13.:17:16.

could bring them face-to-face with so-called Islamic state.

:17:17.:17:24.

With first light, the Kurds began a major assault on IS positions.

:17:25.:17:29.

The militants replied with tracer fire.

:17:30.:17:40.

The Peshmerga tried frantically to shoot it down.

:17:41.:17:58.

A booby-trapped drone killed two Kurdish fighters earlier this month.

:17:59.:18:06.

As IS was pounded with heavy weapons, we managed to listen

:18:07.:18:40.

Here they try to coordinate a counterattack on the troops.

:18:41.:18:48.

Try to target them on the bridge, one commander says.

:18:49.:18:51.

"Fire missiles from the petrol station".

:18:52.:18:55.

Then there's a plea for reinforcements.

:18:56.:19:03.

But IS couldn't muster any and the assault continued.

:19:04.:19:07.

In less than 60 minutes, the village of Nawaran fell.

:19:08.:19:13.

We are entering an area the Kurdish forces have just taken.

:19:14.:19:16.

They came in about half an hour or so.

:19:17.:19:19.

The further they go forward, the more resistance they expect

:19:20.:19:26.

to face from suicide bombers and from snipers, and we've heard

:19:27.:19:28.

some sniper fire just in last few moments.

:19:29.:19:32.

We have to be very careful here, we have to stay on the asphalt.

:19:33.:19:38.

The troops believe that IS has spent months planting roadside

:19:39.:19:40.

So they know there are many more hazards on the journey ahead.

:19:41.:19:48.

But there is now a sense here that the noose is being

:19:49.:19:51.

Orla Guerin, BBC News, north of Mosul.

:19:52.:19:57.

A brief look at some of the day's other other news stories.

:19:58.:20:03.

The Scottish Government has published its draft bill on a second

:20:04.:20:09.

independence referendum. The move does not guarantee another

:20:10.:20:12.

referendum but First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said Scotland should be

:20:13.:20:15.

ready to hold a vote if it's in Scotland's interests.

:20:16.:20:16.

Doctors who train and work as GPs in Wales will receive ?20,000

:20:17.:20:20.

as long as they stay for at least one year after completing

:20:21.:20:23.

The scheme, which will be in place from next August, has been launched

:20:24.:20:28.

by the Welsh Government to tackle shortages.

:20:29.:20:31.

A husband and wife from County Armagh have admitted sexually

:20:32.:20:35.

assaulting a vulnerable woman over an eight year period.

:20:36.:20:39.

60 year old Keith Baker admitted raping and abusing a woman

:20:40.:20:42.

who was kept in squalid conditions in his Craigavon home

:20:43.:20:45.

Bakers' wife Caroline admitted helping him and pleaded guilty

:20:46.:20:50.

to indecently assaulting the woman, who has severe learning

:20:51.:20:52.

There are fears that hundreds of local pharmacies in England

:20:53.:20:55.

could close after the government announced cuts to

:20:56.:20:57.

Ministers says there's a need to save money, as some areas

:20:58.:21:01.

have several chemists very close together -

:21:02.:21:03.

but they insist that the quality of service provided won't be affected.

:21:04.:21:06.

Pharmacists certainly don't love it, and the money they get from the

:21:07.:21:15.

government will be cut, but there will be extra support for pharmacies

:21:16.:21:20.

in isolated areas. Graham Phillips runs for chemists in Hertfordshire.

:21:21.:21:24.

One of them qualifies for the higher funding but overall, he says he'll

:21:25.:21:28.

lose out. We are not protected. They are giving something with the right

:21:29.:21:32.

hand and taking away with the left. Overall will be worse off and

:21:33.:21:35.

running at a loss. The government is in effect saying there are too many

:21:36.:21:41.

pharmacies. Here in St Albans there is one over there and you don't have

:21:42.:21:45.

to go very far to find another, and there are others within a short

:21:46.:21:50.

distance as well. On some high streets around the country there are

:21:51.:21:52.

literally a dozen pharmacies or more. There have been predictions

:21:53.:21:58.

that financial cuts will result in pharmacy closures, so how do

:21:59.:22:02.

customers feel about that? I think it's a bit contradictory with things

:22:03.:22:05.

they've previously said about encouraging people to come to

:22:06.:22:09.

pharmacies rather than going to hospital or their GPs. I think you

:22:10.:22:12.

could reduce a few, when there is a lot in a town obviously they are all

:22:13.:22:16.

competing against each other and they are all more or less selling

:22:17.:22:20.

the same sort of things. I think we do need them, whenever you go in

:22:21.:22:24.

there is always a big queue. They are essential services and it would

:22:25.:22:29.

be a shame to lose than. NHS chiefs say the aim is to make better use of

:22:30.:22:33.

government funding for pharmacies while improving the service. This is

:22:34.:22:37.

not about closures, it's about increasing efficiency, but changing

:22:38.:22:42.

the way that pharmacists practice as well.

:22:43.:22:46.

But the Scottish and Welsh government say they have no plans to

:22:47.:22:52.

cut community pharmacy budgets and Labour MPs said the policy in

:22:53.:22:54.

England was a false economy and would lead to more pressure on

:22:55.:22:56.

hospitals and GPs. Campaigners have welcomed a move

:22:57.:22:57.

to pardon thousands of gay and bisexual men who were convicted

:22:58.:23:00.

of sex offences, now abolished, The majority of pardons

:23:01.:23:02.

will be posthumous - but some say it's wrong to offer

:23:03.:23:07.

a pardon, if no offence Out and proud, there is nothing to

:23:08.:23:22.

hide in Manchester 's gay village but it wasn't always this way. 50

:23:23.:23:27.

years ago doing this could land gay men in jail. The world War II mac

:23:28.:23:33.

code-breaker Alan Turing was prosecuted for gross indecency with

:23:34.:23:39.

another man. He took his own life as a result. This memorial in

:23:40.:23:43.

Manchester remembers Alan Turing as the father of computer science and

:23:44.:23:48.

as a victim of prejudice. After he was pardoned his family campaigned

:23:49.:23:54.

for other prosecuted gay men to be given the same treatment. No the

:23:55.:24:00.

so-called during law will be extended to thousands of men who

:24:01.:24:05.

will receive formal pardons. Man I spoke to in Manchester welcome the

:24:06.:24:10.

decision. Some of my friends who grew up back then had to hide away,

:24:11.:24:14.

they were made to be criminals, they were not criminals but they were

:24:15.:24:18.

made to feel like they wear. I do think they should go a step further

:24:19.:24:22.

and apologise. It wasn't nice I imagine, to be walking down the

:24:23.:24:26.

street and not be able to hold hands. If it wasn't for those people

:24:27.:24:31.

we would not be able to do that today. We have to remember what they

:24:32.:24:36.

went through for us. It's not something that is generally wrong in

:24:37.:24:42.

society. But not all campaigners agree that pardoned convicted men is

:24:43.:24:47.

appropriate. We introduced two of them, young activist Daniel Harris

:24:48.:24:52.

and 93-year-old George Montague who has a conviction for gross indecency

:24:53.:24:57.

but does not want a pardon. Why should we have criminal records? Why

:24:58.:25:00.

should we be asking for forgiveness which is what a pardon is for

:25:01.:25:07.

something which we have no control over whatsoever? I see a pardon as a

:25:08.:25:12.

way forward, but it's not enough. And I completely ask for the

:25:13.:25:17.

government to actually give an official apology and put right the

:25:18.:25:22.

wrongs from the past. Men eligible for pardons will have to apply to

:25:23.:25:27.

the Home Office. Alan Turing's family say they are glad other men

:25:28.:25:30.

will finally receive the same justice as him.

:25:31.:25:33.

The European Space Agency says it still doesn't know the fate

:25:34.:25:36.

of a robotic probe which was due to land on Mars yesterday.

:25:37.:25:39.

Scientists say that signals from the robot were lost shortly

:25:40.:25:41.

before it was expected to touch down.

:25:42.:25:45.

They believe its parachute was jettisoned too early

:25:46.:25:51.

More details have emerged about how a silverback gorilla escaped

:25:52.:25:53.

from its enclosure at London Zoo last week - leading to panic

:25:54.:25:56.

managed to walk through two locked doors and helped himself to large

:25:57.:26:10.

amounts of blackcurrant squash. Back in his enclosure,

:26:11.:26:12.

surrounded by his family A week ago Kumbuka was the reason

:26:13.:26:16.

visitors were locked up and armed The 29 stone gorilla had escaped out

:26:17.:26:20.

of his den into a staff only area. Luckily the keeper who found him

:26:21.:26:25.

knew him well enough to keep calm. Kumbuka pottered out of a door that

:26:26.:26:28.

had not been secured. The keeper just turned to Kumbuka,

:26:29.:26:32.

started chatting calmly, calm down Buki, everything's fine,

:26:33.:26:35.

just as normal, no problem. At that point, Kumbuka was just

:26:36.:26:38.

exploring the environment. And just pottered in to a store room

:26:39.:26:44.

next to his dens and was quite He did take five litres

:26:45.:26:48.

of blackcurrant squash but he's a big lad, 29 stone gorilla,

:26:49.:26:53.

he can cope with five litres The zoo insists members of

:26:54.:26:56.

the public were never in any danger. Thirst satisfied, Kumbuka

:26:57.:27:03.

was tranquillised and Sarah Campbell, BBC News,

:27:04.:27:05.

London Zoo. Good evening everyone, the weather

:27:06.:27:26.

are stuck in repeat at the moment but like a classic BBC comedy with

:27:27.:27:31.

scenes like this we will take it every day won't we? Unfortunately it

:27:32.:27:34.

does look as though we have seen quite a bit more cloud further east,

:27:35.:27:39.

yet again the winds whipping up the sea and some threatening looking

:27:40.:27:42.

skies earlier this afternoon in Norfolk, that is where we have seen

:27:43.:27:45.

a cluster of showers from East Anglia and moving down into the

:27:46.:27:49.

south-east. Those showers will continue to ease through this

:27:50.:27:58.

evening and overnight, dying back to North Sea coasts. Further west,

:27:59.:28:00.

clear skies, at this time of year temperatures will fall away we could

:28:01.:28:04.

see a touch of frost in the countryside as temperatures reach

:28:05.:28:07.

freezing. We could start with mist and fog patches which will slowly

:28:08.:28:11.

lift away and we will see a good slice of sunshine for many of us yet

:28:12.:28:15.

again. A few sharp showers across East Anglia and the south-east which

:28:16.:28:19.

will hopefully be is and the risk of a few nuisance showers up to the far

:28:20.:28:24.

north-west of Scotland. Add on the strength of the winds, temperatures

:28:25.:28:28.

are little on the subdued side, 11-14d. Little change into the

:28:29.:28:33.

weekend, we keep some sunny spells, there will be early fog and frost

:28:34.:28:42.

around. There's not going to be that much in the way of change, winds

:28:43.:28:47.

will start to strengthen down into the South West with the threat of

:28:48.:28:51.

this area of low pressure bringing rain to the south-west by the end of

:28:52.:28:56.

the weekend but generally speaking if you have outdoor plans I don't

:28:57.:28:59.

think you will be too disappointed. A good deal of usable weather out

:29:00.:29:04.

there. Largely dry and sunny at times but the temperatures will

:29:05.:29:07.

struggle from time to time. Enjoy if you can.

:29:08.:29:09.

That's all from the BBC News at Six - so it's goodbye from me -
