This is BBC World News Today with me Lebo Diseko. | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
The headlines: Back on the campaign trail - | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
Hillary Clinton returns to the presidential race | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
She says she's "doing great" as she jumps on a plane jetting off | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
to the battleground state of North Carolina. | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
Meanwhile, Donald trump outlines his plans for the US economy, | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Violence breaks out between far-right extremists | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
Britian finally gives the green light for a nuclear deal | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
in the country's ambitious space programme. | :00:40. | :01:05. | |
Hillary Clinton is back on the campaign trail in the race | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
for the White House - four days after her team revealed | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
She will appear at a rally in North Carolina later. | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
Meanwhile, her rival Donald Trump has just released results | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
from a recent medical examination with his doctor | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
and announced his plans for US economy. | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
Gary O'Donoghue is in Greensboro, North Carolina, | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
How did she look? Did she look in good health? How is she doing? She | :01:30. | :01:47. | |
got on her plane about half an hour ago, one hour ago. People who were | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
there said she may have looked a bit tired but otherwise looked pretty | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
fine. When she comes on to this stage in about two hours, she will | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
be heavily scrutinised. Everybody will be looking for signs of that | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
pneumonia and they will see what toll it has taken, if she has | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
properly recovered. They will want to know, especially this crowd, who | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
will largely be supporters of hers, they want to know she is back on the | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
front foot and ready to take on Donald Trump began. This has been a | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
big blow to her campaign. Four days of constant speculation about if she | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
is well enough, up to being president of the United States. A | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
forced four day hiatus in the campaign, which she can ill afford | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
less than eight weeks from the election. There is a lot of ground | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
for her to make up this afternoon. Her performance will be key to that | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
today. How does she do that? Kabashi did she take hold of it and turn it | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
into a positive story for her? -- how does she do that and take hold | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
of it. She will move the debate onto some of the policy issues where she | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
thinks she is strong and she will want to highlight, as she has tried | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
to do, the lack of governmental experience of Donald Trump, some of | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
the things he has said about the US military, for example. Which are | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
really damaging politically, in this country. Some of the things he has | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
said about women as a way of galvanising the female vote in this | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
country. There are things like that where she knows she can land some | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
punches. But she has been on the back foot for some time. I think you | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
are starting to see the effect of that. You have to be cautious about | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
opinion polls. But some of them have had the sampling dates within this | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
area where she was unwell, where there were questions about her | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
transparency again, and you are seeing a narrowing in the poll of | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
polls in terms of the national vote to 1.8% and crucially, crucially, in | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
some other swing states, like Ohio and Florida, neck and neck in | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
Florida, pretty much. Donald Trump in one recent poll ahead in Ohio. | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
What has Donald Trump been saying about the economy and also his | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
health record? Has he grabbed the narrative from Hillary Clinton even | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
on this day she returns on the campaign trail? I think the | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
publication of this summary of his health and physical from last week | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
was an attempt to keep the focus on that issue, as you would expect. | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
That is what political opposition does. Largely speaking, apart from | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
his weight, the doctors seemed to give him a reasonable bill of | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
health. It is not as much detail as we had from Hillary Clinton on her | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
help. Another batch of data was published by her doctor this week. | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
Donald Trump, his big speech on the economy this morning, he is hitting | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
some issues which play well for him, talking about jobs, creating more | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
jobs, bringing jobs home, as he said, from other parts of the world, | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
from Mexico, trying to create more growth in the country and higher | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
wages. They play right into the American heartlands and she has to | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
have an answer, as well. Thank you for bringing us up to date. | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
Far right extremists have clashed with asylum seekers in the town | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
About 20 migrants were set upon by around 80 | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
people, forcing police to call in reinforcements. | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
Officers say they were hit by bottles as they tried to keep | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
The town attracted negative headlines earlier this year | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
when locals cheered as a fire burnt down migrant housing. | :05:28. | :05:39. | |
We can speak to an asylum seeker in the area. He told us what happened | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
last night. TRANSLATION: Last night, about 140-150 residents of Bauwesen | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
attacked a for refugee minors. Most of them come from Syria. They | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
attacked them and beat them up. They assaulted them with broken beer | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
bottles and smashed glass. In January, exactly on New Year's Day, | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
these neo-Nazis attacked the. They started throwing tone -- stones. -- | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
attacked the campsite. They went to the street leading to the campsite | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
and sat and drank alcohol. They used alcohol as an excuse. They told | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
police that they were drunk it happened. I have a seven-year-old | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
daughter. She goes to school everyday. I am very concerned for | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
her safety. She walks alone for less than one mile on her way back. I am | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
always scared she might be assaulted physically, or sexually. | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
Let's cross to Berlin and speak to our correspondent | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
Damien McGuinness who's been following the story for us. | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
How have people been reacting where you are? It is interesting because | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
it seems quite unclear what started these clashes. A lotta people are | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
interpreted according to their own political beliefs, if you like. | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
Left-wing politicians and human rights activists across the board | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
have condemned what they see as right-wing extremism committed | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
against asylum seekers. But the police earlier today and some | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
politicians in the region were it happened has said the asylum seekers | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
started the violence. What appears to have happened is they were about | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
15-20 underaged asylum seekers gathered in the square. This has | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
become a meeting point for young people. Both asylum seekers and | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
local residents. At the same time and on the same square, there were | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
about 80 local residents. Police say young asylum seekers were the ones | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
that started throwing bottles at these residents, who reacted | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
violently and aggressively with xenophobic comments. Police at that | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
stage stepped in to try and separate the two groups and the scuffles got | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
even worse. Police say they have now imposed a curfew on the young asylum | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
seekers and have also imposed a ban on them drinking alcohol. But a | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
lotta people are saying the main problem is right-wing extremism. | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
Even in that region, the president of that region recently said Saxony, | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
the land, the state where this village is located, said it does | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
have a problem with right-wing extremism. The country is now | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
debating it and it is not only seen on the one hand as an issue of a lot | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
of asylum seekers, and possibly substandard accommodation, but also | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
an idea of right wing extremist behaviour and how you can deal with | :08:57. | :08:57. | |
that. Thank you. The British Prime Minister has given | :08:58. | :09:06. | |
the green light for Britain's first At a cost of ?18 billion pounds - | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
that's $24 billion. The reactor, Hinkley Point, | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
will be built by the French company EDF, with significant | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
investment from China. Supporters say the plant is vital | :09:17. | :09:17. | |
to reducing Britain's reliance on fossil fuels, | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
but critics argue the deal Here's our Political Editor Laura | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
Kuenssberg. Were they really going | :09:23. | :09:31. | |
to stop the engines, drive the diggers away | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
and give up on years of preparation, | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
chuck away millions already spent? Statement, the Secretary of State | :09:37. | :09:43. | |

boost to the economy. Under the ?18 billion | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
deal the new Hinckley The Chinese plan to build another | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
nuclear plant at Bradwell in Essex. The government will take a special | :10:09. | :10:18. | |
share in that and any future projects, giving them some more | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
control over infrastructure The deal was first | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
signed last year amid a welcome for the Chinese leader that | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
could hardly have been more lavish. There were nerves around Westminster | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
about the huge cost, The Chinese involvement | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
in new nuclear But with a change of boss, | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
a change of heart. one of Theresa May's first acts | :10:44. | :10:55. | |
was to delay the decision to pour The government created a crisis, | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
they sent shock waves through the industry and unions | :11:01. | :11:12. | |
alike, risking a diplomatic dispute with one of our key future trading | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
partners and in the end, all they have done is pretend to give | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
themselves powers which they already Ministers say there will be | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
an important new framework to check up on all new big | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
projects, and they hope Hinckley will keep | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
the lights on at Big Ben | :11:31. | :11:31. | |
and everywhere else. The risk is controversial | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
and expensive. When Theresa May moved into number | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
ten, the National Security Council already been agreed | :11:38. | :11:51. | |
and those close at that | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
stage said there is no fundamental difference | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
between But imagine she had gone | :11:56. | :11:56. | |
ahead straightaway. The brand-new Prime | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
Minister would have been waiving through one of the most | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
controversial deals in history, There is no difference | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
and one has to wonder high diplomatic price, | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
potentially a high price in terms of cost and investment, | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
was it worth it? Now there is an official go-ahead | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
next stage on the ground can start, but no project like this has been | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
All the fuss and political hopes for Hinckley could | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
Now a look at some of the days other news... | :12:29. | :12:40. | |
An explosion on a tourist boat off the Indonesian island of Bali has | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
killed two people and injured at least 14 others. | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
Police say an Austrian woman was one of the dead. | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
The identity of the second victim is still unclear. | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
Officials have ruled out a bomb, saying a short circuit near the fuel | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
French riot police have fired teargas and stun grenades | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
Some of the protestors, who are angry about labour reforms, | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
At least one demonstrator and five police were injured. | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
It's the latest outbreak of violence over the controversial | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
new laws, which were pushed through by the socialist | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
Serious negotiations on Britain's exit from the European Union cannot | :13:16. | :13:25. | |
begin until the end of next year - that's the warning from a former | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
Herman Van Rompuy, the former president of the European Council, | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
said discussions on the main issues would have to wait | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
until after elections in France and Germany in May and September. | :13:38. | :13:48. | |
A former hitman from the Philippines has told a congressional hearing | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
that the current president, Rodrigo Duterte, personally shot | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
dead a government agent when he was a city mayor. | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
Edgar Matobato also claimed that Mr Duterte ordered him and other | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
members of a death squad to kill about one thousand suspected | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
These are explosive allegations related | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
He rid the city of crime but there have | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
been startling claims as | :14:21. | :14:21. | |
The Senate has been holding an investigation and a | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
former hit man has been giving evidence. | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
Edgar claims he was part of a | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
death squad that killed 1,000 criminals and political opponents. | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
TRANSLATION: They have been ordering us to kill, | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
we do not even know the | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
names of their victims, they just call and ask us to kill someone. | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
He said one victim was fed to the crocodiles and the president | :14:45. | :14:54. | |
personally killed a government agent with his submachine gun. | :14:55. | :14:56. | |
credibility of the President, I'm just telling the truth about what he | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
The President's spokesman said there had already | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
been an investigation into the allegations, | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
The government office said they were lies and | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
But there are uncomfortable parallels with his | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
Either you will kill me or I will kill you... | :15:21. | :15:35. | |
3,000 drug suspects killed in shoot outs with police | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
The president faced a storm of criticism but remains | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
unrepentant as the death toll rises. | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
If I am the one facing the grief, what 100 lives... | :15:51. | :16:03. | |
Shocking though these accusations are, they will not, | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
come as a surprise to most people in the Philippines. | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
They knew his reputation when he was still mayor | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
of Davao and elected him president anyway. | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
The last time Russians voted for a new parliament, in 2011, | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
claims of ballot-rigging caused mass street protests. | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
Since then, the jailing of activists and tougher laws | :16:30. | :16:31. | |
against demonstrations has taken the wind out of | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
On the eve of Sunday's parliamentary election, there's widespread apathy | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
So, a quarter of a century after the collapse of | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
the Soviet Union, are Russians losing interest in democracy? | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
We are on a journey to a remote part of Russia. | :16:45. | :17:00. | |
Speeding along the northern Dvinar river. | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
On board are election officials and a ballot box. | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
It doesn't have a polling station, but then | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
there are only three registered voters living here. | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
It is off to find a place where the islanders can | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
vote early in Russia's Parliamentary election. | :17:19. | :17:30. | |
With a few tweaks a village kitchen becomes a voting | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
After casting her vote, this 84-year-old settles down for a nice | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
She has two loves in her life, her flowers and her president. | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
When Vladimir Putin raised my pension I cried with | :17:45. | :17:53. | |
I do not know what that is, she says. | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
I asked the same question here and receive so many different answers. | :18:01. | :18:10. | |
Democracy is when there is order and security and no | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
It is some kind of struggle for something, she says. | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
To these Russians, democracy was all about free and | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
Here and across Russia there were unprecedented | :18:24. | :18:33. | |
anti-government street protests sparked by vote-rigging in the | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
Among the protesters here was Alexander. | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
The opposition movement, he said, has faded and with it hopes for | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
A lot of the people, they do not think about | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
They go for fishing and for the gardens, they | :18:55. | :19:05. | |
are thinking about their children, their families and they do not want | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
Crucially, most Russians still trust Putin far more than the Parliament. | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
The Kremlin rules Russia through a power vertical, with | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
Vladimir Putin at the top and all other | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
institutions, including the | :19:20. | :19:20. | |
Parliament, below him and subservient to him. | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
But with economic problems rising, the danger | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
for the Kremlin is that if people start to doubt the legitimacy of | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
those other institutions they will pin all their hopes on the one man | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
At this farm there are as many cows as there are Russian | :19:34. | :19:49. | |
MPs, but it is in Putin they trust here. | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
TRANSLATION: Our people can ask him directly for | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
ballot box is heading off to another island. | :19:56. | :20:03. | |
But Russians are not expecting a new parliament to make | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
They think they've got a president for that. | :20:06. | :20:17. | |
After battering Taiwan, Typhoon Meranti has hit | :20:18. | :20:26. | |
south-eastern China, bringing strong winds and flooding. | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
Parts of Fujian province are without power - | :20:29. | :20:29. | |
but so far there are no reports of casualties. | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
Here in Xiamen, in southern China, people are trying to get back | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
into the daily routine following last night's storm. | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
The warning went out that the most powerful typhoon to hit this | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
part of the coast since 1949 was on the way. | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
strongest winds to reach anywhere in the world so far this | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
year, so you can imagine people were worried. | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
370 kilometres an hour, faster than one of this | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
You walk around to survey the damage and it seems not that bad | :21:06. | :21:17. | |
considering, but the city got flooded with drains overflowing, | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
blocking entrances to buildings and housing complexes. | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
Military police have been mobilised to bolster the | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
They are racing against time to clear debris before | :21:30. | :21:38. | |
a second smaller typhoon hits in the coming hours. | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
This is the road leading to the main train station, | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
perhaps the biggest damage has been to transport infrastructure. | :21:47. | :21:56. | |
As you can see the military police are trying | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
to clear the road so that people can get better access. | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
All this comes during a national holiday, plenty of | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
people from this province would have planned a trip away for the mid | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
Lots of other travellers would have come here also | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
from all over China but instead they will have to be content with a | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
long weekend at home, spending it with their friends and families. | :22:19. | :22:27. | |
China has launched its second experimental space laboratory. | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
It's planning to get a permanent space station in orbit | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
The Tiangong 2, or 'Heavenly Palace' - blasted off just after 10 pm local | :22:33. | :22:41. | |
Next month, two astronauts will go to the station to do research. | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
Space exploration is a national priority for China, | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
which is the third country, after what was then | :22:53. | :22:54. | |
the Soviet Union, and the US, to launch people into space. | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
Well, we're joined by someone who has been watching China's space | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
programme evolve over the last three decades - Phillip Clark | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
People often refer to this as a new space race but in fact the Chinese | :23:07. | :23:25. | |
are not racing anybody. To have a race you have got to have a police | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
two people. The Indians do have dreams of racing the Chinese with | :23:32. | :23:40. | |
unmanned lunar and Mars missions but China is out there on its own as far | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
as manned missions are concerned. So China is not really watching anyone | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
and is doing its own thing. What does China wants to achieve? It has | :23:49. | :23:55. | |
made it a national priority, why? China regards itself as the new | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
superpower. And it looks around the world and it sees that superpowers | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
have got piloted space programmes. Therefore, they decided to develop | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
their own. It also has the advantage that space technology has got a spin | :24:12. | :24:21. | |
off for earthbound uses, because it uses the same technology which has | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
been developed for space on the ground. That technology would not | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
have been developed otherwise. The Chinese look at it from that point | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
of view. You say it is about power and technology but the US is not | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
happy about it. Do they have anything to be worried about? Well, | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
at the moment there are only two countries that can launch people | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
into space, the Russians and the Chinese. The Americans threw away | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
the ability to fly people into space five years ago. So if anything the | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
Americans can start learning from the Chinese. The Americans will not | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
be able to start flying people into space four police two years. That | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
will depend -- for at least two years. That will depend on how | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
unmanned test missions are going to be. Two astronauts will be going up | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
shortly but what will they be doing there? Tiangong 2 will primarily be | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
a science laboratory. The crew will spend nearly 30 days in orbit with | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
technical experiments being down, remote sensing... Unfortunately that | :25:34. | :25:41. | |
is all we have time for on the programme but I know that he will | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
certainly be watching this for us as this unfolds. Thank you for watching | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
us on World News Today. Next, the weather but from me and the rest of | :25:53. | :25:54. | |
the team, goodbye. | :25:55. | :25:56. |
