:07:41. > :07:43.If we got along well, that would be good.
:07:44. > :07:46.Well that's because he'd rather have a puppet as President.
:07:47. > :07:48.No puppet, no puppet. And it's pretty clear.
:07:49. > :07:50.You're the puppet. It's pretty clear you won't admit.

:08:06. > :08:08.These women, the woman on the plane, the woman...
:08:09. > :08:11.I think they want either fame or her campaign did it.
:08:12. > :08:14.Donald thinks belittling women makes him bigger.
:08:15. > :08:17.I think they want fame or herald campaign did it and I think it is
:08:18. > :08:20.her campaign. Donald thinks belittling women makes him bigger.
:08:21. > :08:25.He goes after their dignity, their self worth. I don't think there is a
:08:26. > :08:30.woman anywhere who doesn't know what that feels like. Nobody has more
:08:31. > :08:35.respect for women than I do. Nobody. Nobody has more respect. Please
:08:36. > :08:39.everybody. The moderator intervened because the audience was laughing.

:08:56. > :09:01.will Donald's, but what we want to do is replenish... Such a nasty
:09:02. > :09:04.woman. Then came the truly astonishing moment. Donald Trump
:09:05. > :09:10.alleged that the election is being rigged. His daughter and his running
:09:11. > :09:15.mate said they would accept the verdict of the American people so
:09:16. > :09:19.will Mr Trump? I will look at it at the time. What I have seen, what I
:09:20. > :09:24.have seen is so bad. She should never have been allowed to run for
:09:25. > :09:28.the presidency based on what she did with e-mails and sew many other
:09:29. > :09:34.things. Are you saying you're not prepared to stick to that principle?
:09:35. > :09:39.I'll tell you at the time, I'll keep you in suspense. That's horrifying.
:09:40. > :09:43.Every time Donald thinks things are not going in his direction, he
:09:44. > :09:49.claims whatever it is is rigged against him, there was a time when
:09:50. > :09:53.he didn't get an Emmy or his TV programme three years in a row and
:09:54. > :10:01.he thwarted that the Emmies were rigged... I should have gotten it!
:10:02. > :10:04.This is how Donald thinks and it is funny, but it is really troubling.
:10:05. > :10:10.Election fraud is rare in the US and after the debate, the spin room
:10:11. > :10:14.lived up to its name as Trump sur gates sought to explain what he
:10:15. > :10:20.meant. Donald Trump has to see how close the election is. If it is a
:10:21. > :10:25.400 margin in the election then there might be a question of voter
:10:26. > :10:29.fraud. If it is a 4 million margin, there won't be. This is...
:10:30. > :10:33.REPORTER: Were you surprised? That's the answer I would have given.
:10:34. > :10:37.Lagging behind in the polls, Donald Trump needed to change the
:10:38. > :10:43.trajectory of this race. He needed to win big, but he didn't, but he
:10:44. > :10:47.created a new storm that goes to the heart of American democracy.
:10:48. > :10:53.It is fair to say many of Donald Trump's advisers were aghast at what
:10:54. > :10:57.he said in the debate. We have had that clarification, I will accept a
:10:58. > :11:01.clear election result, but I will reserve the right to file a legal
:11:02. > :11:07.challenge. Donald Trump is trying to put out a fire he started. Election
:11:08. > :11:12.fraud is rare in the US. The most detailed surveys showed over one
:11:13. > :11:19.billion votes cast over a ten year period, there were 31 cases of voter
:11:20. > :11:24.impersonation. Some analysts say it is Donald Trump laying the
:11:25. > :11:28.groundwork for a defeat. One other problem re-emerged today. Another
:11:29. > :11:30.woman has come out to say that he made unwanted sexual advances
:11:31. > :11:38.towards her. Sophie.
:11:39. > :11:44.A Royal Navy destroyer and a frig at have been sent to shadow a group of
:11:45. > :11:48.Russian warships. The ships including Russia's only aircraft
:11:49. > :11:57.carrier and a battle cruiser are believed to be heading to the
:11:58. > :12:00.eastern Mediterranean. Well, our diplomatic correspondent James
:12:01. > :12:05.Robins is in Moscow. Do we know what the Russian warships are doing?
:12:06. > :12:08.Well, the Kremlin and President Putin are clearly combining military
:12:09. > :12:13.purpose with a bit of political theatre. I mean, first the military
:12:14. > :12:17.purpose. By sending a large naval detachment and deploying their
:12:18. > :12:26.flagship care craft carrier to a combat zone for the first time,
:12:27. > :12:32.Russia is reinforce its ability to strike at targets. It must be
:12:33. > :12:37.assumed they may go back to bombing and they may accelerate what they
:12:38. > :12:40.believe is their ability to destroy all opposition within Aleppo before
:12:41. > :12:43.the end of the year and certainly before whoever is elected, the next
:12:44. > :12:48.American president takes office. There is the political theatre I
:12:49. > :12:53.think Russia is taunting France and perhaps to a greater extent Britain
:12:54. > :12:57.saying to the Royal Navy, do you don't have an operational aircraft
:12:58. > :13:01.carrier, we're doing this because we can and you don't join the fight in
:13:02. > :13:05.Syria, we have and we can win it because we're a great power. James
:13:06. > :13:12.Robins, thank you. MPs have backed a proposal to strip
:13:13. > :13:19.the former owner of BHS Sir Philip Green of his knighthood. Sir Philip
:13:20. > :13:23.was accused in armed of asset stripping. The businessman insists
:13:24. > :13:28.that he is working on a deal which will resolve the issue. Here is
:13:29. > :13:34.Simon Jack. This knight of the realm has been described by many as more
:13:35. > :13:44.like an emperor and today they came to bury him and not to praise him. A
:13:45. > :13:53.billionaire who should never receive the knighthood. A billionaire who
:13:54. > :13:57.shamed British capitalism. BHS one of the greatest scandals. The House
:13:58. > :14:01.has sympathy for the thousands of workers who have lost their jobs and
:14:02. > :14:05.seen their benefits decreased as a result of greed. Stripped Green of
:14:06. > :14:10.his knighthood. Take him to task and maybe get him to sell a few of his
:14:11. > :14:15.super yachts. This wasn't really much of a debate and some MPs were
:14:16. > :14:19.uneasy. To call for another committee to strip somebody of an
:14:20. > :14:24.honour when the normal process that one is only taken away when somebody
:14:25. > :14:28.has committed a criminal offence is abuse of the House of Commons. Let's
:14:29. > :14:33.not forget 11,000 people lost their jobs. Jean was one and she was very
:14:34. > :14:37.clear about what should happen. I think he should be stripped of his
:14:38. > :14:42.knighthood, 100%. He doesn't realise what he has done to everybody and
:14:43. > :14:47.he's swanning around with a knighthood. It is not fair for what
:14:48. > :14:51.everybody else has gone through. Today's motion does not mean that
:14:52. > :14:55.Sir Philip Green will lose his knighthood, any decision will be
:14:56. > :14:59.made in Whitehall. It is very rare for people not found guilty of doing
:15:00. > :15:03.anything illegal to lose honours. Fred Goodwin of RBS fame is the last
:15:04. > :15:07.and most famous example. But it seems Sir Philip has become the new
:15:08. > :15:13.poster boy for popular and political mistrust in business.
:15:14. > :15:19.During her party conference to reason they made a thinly sky 's
:15:20. > :15:24.attack on him. A director who takes up massive dividends while knowing
:15:25. > :15:33.the company pension is about to go bust. I'm putting you on warning.
:15:34. > :15:37.This can't go on any more. Sir Philip was watching the event in
:15:38. > :15:41.Parliament today. Whatever happens to his knighthood is only redemption
:15:42. > :15:43.may be sorting the pension mess that still hangs over him.

:21:05. > :21:13.Pharmacists certainly don't love it, and the money they get from the

:21:23. > :21:27.One of them qualifies for the higher funding but overall, he says he'll
:21:28. > :21:30.lose out. We are not protected. They are giving something with the right
:21:31. > :21:34.hand and taking away with the left. Overall will be worse off and
:21:35. > :21:40.running at a loss. The government is in effect saying there are too many
:21:41. > :21:43.pharmacies. Here in St Albans there is one over there and you don't have
:21:44. > :21:48.to go very far to find another, and there are others within a short
:21:49. > :21:50.distance as well. On some high streets around the country there are
:21:51. > :21:56.literally a dozen pharmacies or more. There have been predictions
:21:57. > :22:00.that financial cuts will result in pharmacy closures, so how do
:22:01. > :22:03.customers feel about that? I think it's a bit contradictory with things
:22:04. > :22:07.they've previously said about encouraging people to come to
:22:08. > :22:11.pharmacies rather than going to hospital or their GPs. I think you
:22:12. > :22:14.could reduce a few, when there is a lot in a town obviously they are all
:22:15. > :22:18.competing against each other and they are all more or less selling
:22:19. > :22:22.the same sort of things. I think we do need them, whenever you go in
:22:23. > :22:27.there is always a big queue. They are essential services and it would
:22:28. > :22:31.be a shame to lose than. NHS chiefs say the aim is to make better use of
:22:32. > :22:36.government funding for pharmacies while improving the service. This is
:22:37. > :22:40.not about closures, it's about increasing efficiency, but changing
:22:41. > :22:44.the way that pharmacists practice as well.
:22:45. > :22:50.But the Scottish and Welsh government say they have no plans to
:22:51. > :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. > :22:58.to pardon thousands of gay and bisexual men who were convicted
:22:59. > :23:01.of sex offences, now abolished, The majority of pardons
:23:02. > :23:05.will be posthumous - but some say it's wrong to offer
:23:06. > :23:20.a pardon, if no offence Out and proud, there is nothing to
:23:21. > :23:26.hide in Manchester 's gay village but it wasn't always this way. 50
:23:27. > :23:31.years ago doing this could land gay men in jail. The world War II mac
:23:32. > :23:37.code-breaker Alan Turing was prosecuted for gross indecency with
:23:38. > :23:41.another man. He took his own life as a result. This memorial in
:23:42. > :23:46.Manchester remembers Alan Turing as the father of computer science and
:23:47. > :23:53.as a victim of prejudice. After he was pardoned his family campaigned
:23:54. > :23:58.for other prosecuted gay men to be given the same treatment. No the
:23:59. > :24:03.so-called during law will be extended to thousands of men who
:24:04. > :24:08.will receive formal pardons. Man I spoke to in Manchester welcome the
:24:09. > :24:12.decision. Some of my friends who grew up back then had to hide away,
:24:13. > :24:16.they were made to be criminals, they were not criminals but they were
:24:17. > :24:20.made to feel like they wear. I do think they should go a step further
:24:21. > :24:23.and apologise. It wasn't nice I imagine, to be walking down the
:24:24. > :24:29.street and not be able to hold hands. If it wasn't for those people
:24:30. > :24:34.we would not be able to do that today. We have to remember what they
:24:35. > :24:40.went through for us. It's not something that is generally wrong in
:24:41. > :24:45.society. But not all campaigners agree that pardoned convicted men is
:24:46. > :24:50.appropriate. We introduced two of them, young activist Daniel Harris
:24:51. > :24:55.and 93-year-old George Montague who has a conviction for gross indecency
:24:56. > :24:58.but does not want a pardon. Why should we have criminal records? Why
:24:59. > :25:05.should we be asking for forgiveness which is what a pardon is for
:25:06. > :25:10.something which we have no control over whatsoever? I see a pardon as a
:25:11. > :25:16.way forward, but it's not enough. And I completely ask for the
:25:17. > :25:21.government to actually give an official apology and put right the
:25:22. > :25:25.wrongs from the past. Men eligible for pardons will have to apply to
:25:26. > :25:28.the Home Office. Alan Turing's family say they are glad other men
:25:29. > :25:31.will finally receive the same justice as him.
:25:32. > :25:34.The European Space Agency says it still doesn't know the fate

:27:57. > :27:58.evening and overnight, dying back to North Sea coasts. Further west,
:27:59. > :28:02.clear skies, at this time of year temperatures will fall away we could
:28:03. > :28:05.see a touch of frost in the countryside as temperatures reach
:28:06. > :28:09.freezing. We could start with mist and fog patches which will slowly
:28:10. > :28:13.lift away and we will see a good slice of sunshine for many of us yet
:28:14. > :28:17.again. A few sharp showers across East Anglia and the south-east which
:28:18. > :28:23.will hopefully be is and the risk of a few nuisance showers up to the far
:28:24. > :28:26.north-west of Scotland. Add on the strength of the winds, temperatures

:28:33. > :28:41.weekend, we keep some sunny spells, there will be early fog and frost
:28:42. > :28:45.around. There's not going to be that much in the way of change, winds
:28:46. > :28:49.will start to strengthen down into the South West with the threat of
:28:50. > :28:54.this area of low pressure bringing rain to the south-west by the end of
:28:55. > :28:57.the weekend but generally speaking if you have outdoor plans I don't
:28:58. > :29:02.think you will be too disappointed. A good deal of usable weather out
