:03:06. > :03:14.For hours last night, Donald Trump was totally isolated.
:03:15. > :03:18.I've never said I am a perfect person nor pretended
:03:19. > :03:22.I have said and done things I regret, and the words released
:03:23. > :03:26.today on this more-than-a-decade-old video are one of them.
:03:27. > :03:29.Anyone who knows me knows those words do not reflect who I am.

:03:53. > :03:54.We will discuss this in the coming days, see

:04:17. > :04:20.There's no way I am voting for Hillary Clinton,
:04:21. > :04:25.but I can no longer endorse Donald Trump, I just cannot do it.

:04:38. > :04:42.Jon Sopel with that report - and Jon spoke to me a little earlier -
:04:43. > :04:47.over why these comments are causing outrage in the US.
:04:48. > :04:59.I think that they go further than what he has said before, he has
:05:00. > :05:05.called women pics and dogs, they are factored in, but what he said last
:05:06. > :05:11.night, what emerged last night seemed much more predatory, almost
:05:12. > :05:14.violent, it was lewd, it was graphic, grabbing women by their
:05:15. > :05:17.genitalia, almost a sense of entitlement that he could have sex
:05:18. > :05:21.with anyone he chose Ulster talking about this being a married woman
:05:22. > :05:26.even though Donald Trump had only recently married himself and Melania
:05:27. > :05:31.was pregnant at the time. The Republican party on high hopes that
:05:32. > :05:36.this had crossed the Rubicon and that Donald Trump had become toxic.
:05:37. > :05:39.Donald Trump has said that he won't resign but the numbers of
:05:40. > :05:45.Republicans wanted him to go seemed to grow and grow. Yeah I think if
:05:46. > :05:49.the Republican party had an easy mechanism to dump Trump, there are
:05:50. > :05:54.many in the party who would like them to use the option but it is
:05:55. > :05:56.more complicated. For a start you already have people who started
:05:57. > :06:02.voting in many states, Barack Obama for example cast his vote in
:06:03. > :06:11.Illinois. What would happen to those votes? You've seen today, the New
:06:12. > :06:16.Hampshire Senator coming out and saying that Donald Trump should step
:06:17. > :06:19.down. Reportedly some of his closest advisers are saying to him privately
:06:20. > :06:24.that he should review his position but I don't think it's going to
:06:25. > :06:27.happen. And you have Donald Trump saying that there is zero chance
:06:28. > :06:32.that he's going to leave. Where that leaves the Republican Party, it is
:06:33. > :06:34.praying that there are no more tapes and that there are no more women who
:06:35. > :06:39.are going to contradict the assertion of Donald Trump is that
:06:40. > :06:43.what you heard on that tape is not who he is and that he isn't that
:06:44. > :06:50.kind of individual. 24-hour is before the second presidential
:06:51. > :06:53.debate. Is this going to crop up? Oh, yeah! Inevitably, Donald Trump
:06:54. > :06:58.has more or less sets though, at the end of the statement he gave he said
:06:59. > :07:04.that he has things to say about Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton and that
:07:05. > :07:09.he will see us at the debate. I think it will inevitably crop up but
:07:10. > :07:14.there are no easy ways and the Republican Party is squeamish about
:07:15. > :07:18.this blitzkrieg policy where you try and fight as dirty as you possibly
:07:19. > :07:23.can. They think that won't help them and it won't help the men and women
:07:24. > :07:27.in Congress fighting to retain their seats in the Senate and the House of
:07:28. > :07:32.Representatives. Hillary Clinton is also under fire for some leaks made
:07:33. > :07:38.about private speeches that she's made in the past. What has been
:07:39. > :07:44.leaked? These are speeches that she made to Goldman Sachs where she was
:07:45. > :07:48.on the speaking circuit and was rather pro-free trade and
:07:49. > :07:53.pro-immigration reform, rather pro-some other things as well. In
:07:54. > :07:57.the great scheme of things, I suspect that the fire storm and
:07:58. > :08:02.focus is not on her, it is all around Donald Trump at the moment.
:08:03. > :08:06.This may cause Hillary Clinton a bit of inconvenience but the lens is
:08:07. > :08:09.fixed firmly on Donald Trump at the moment.
:08:10. > :08:12.Let's take a look at some other stories now.
:08:13. > :08:15.Russia has moved nuclear-capable missiles into its most westerly
:08:16. > :08:18.territory, Kaleeningrad, which borders Poland and Lithuania,
:08:19. > :08:24.The Russian defence ministry said the deployment of the Iskander
:08:25. > :08:28.missiles was part of a military exercise and has happened before.
:08:29. > :08:30.Russia backed down from plans to permanently deploy such missiles

:10:07. > :10:12.funerals as the death toll continues to rise. Chaos and carnage is all
:10:13. > :10:17.around. Hundreds of mourners have suffered appalling injuries. The
:10:18. > :10:22.Houthi rebel movement that controls most of Yemen has accused the Saudi
:10:23. > :10:26.led coalition of the air strikes and deliberately targeting the funeral
:10:27. > :10:31.ceremony. But the coalition has flatly denied the claim. Sources in
:10:32. > :10:35.the alliance say it wouldn't target such a gathering. For the aid
:10:36. > :10:41.workers, the politics have been pushed to one side and now it's
:10:42. > :10:45.about saving lives. It doesn't matter who is behind it. We believe

:15:40. > :15:42.effort in front of him now. How significant that his wife and
:15:43. > :15:50.running mate have also condemned his comments? That's very interesting,
:15:51. > :15:54.especially with Mike Pence. Right after the vice president or debate,

:16:07. > :16:13.there are calls for Mike Pence to actually become the nominee and for
:16:14. > :16:21.Trump to drop out or stop -- drop out. Mike Pence has defended Donald
:16:22. > :16:27.Trump for the last year now. Now turning his back on him, so to speak
:16:28. > :16:33.and condemning his comments, along with his wife. So he's actually
:16:34. > :16:37.taking it on all fronts now and it will be interesting to see what
:16:38. > :16:42.happens and how he responds, particularly tomorrow in the debate
:16:43. > :16:47.in Saint Louis. So what does this mean for tomorrow's debate? How is
:16:48. > :16:53.Hillary Clinton going to handle it? Well, Hillary Clinton I think is
:16:54. > :16:57.going to have to do a 180 because she wanted to continue to get under
:16:58. > :17:02.his skin, much like she did in the first debate. I think now she
:17:03. > :17:06.probably wants to take a step back because I suspect that she's going
:17:07. > :17:13.to be thinking, as many welcomer that both the moderators and the
:17:14. > :17:16.audience, who can ask questions, we'll go after Donald Trump because
:17:17. > :17:21.of these latest comments that he made regarding women. So I think
:17:22. > :17:29.what Hillary wants to do is to be prepared that Donald Trump may begin
:17:30. > :17:33.to focus on Bill Clinton. I think that could backfire on him because
:17:34. > :17:40.she can take on a more sympathetic tone, not only with the audience in
:17:41. > :17:44.the town hall debate, but with the voting electorate who are going to

:19:18. > :19:20.a glancing blow along There was damage but it wasn't
:19:21. > :19:24.as bad as expected. Millions had heeded the call

:20:04. > :20:08.Matthew swept through the country, medication is with the officials,
:20:09. > :20:17.with anyone in the South West is extremely difficult. We know that
:20:18. > :20:21.there are several areas of the City and principalities that we haven't
:20:22. > :20:29.been able to reach. So far we have heard of ten cases of cholera but
:20:30. > :20:33.this is yet to be confirmed. The Ministry of health in Haiti is
:20:34. > :20:44.already on the site and trying to take care of the case. We already
:20:45. > :20:51.have staff that we have two help with this disease. Since the
:20:52. > :20:57.earthquake that hit Haiti in 2010, everything hasn't been rebuilt yet
:20:58. > :21:01.so that means that a lot of the structures were still fragile and
:21:02. > :21:08.this hurricane isn't helping the case at all. We've heard as well
:21:09. > :21:13.about the Hurricanes that may come our way. We are on stand-by but for
:21:14. > :21:17.now the priority is to ensure that the people who are in the South and
