:00:52. > :01:16.There are now just five hours to go until round two of the big
:01:17. > :01:18.Trump versus Clinton televised debate in St Louis,
:01:19. > :01:21.And it seems the furore surrounding a videotape
:01:22. > :01:23.showing Donald Trump making crude remarks
:01:24. > :01:31.As Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton prepare to face each other,
:01:32. > :01:34.debate moderators have altered the format so that the initial
:01:35. > :01:39.questions will deal directly with the leaked video.
:01:40. > :01:41.And for Donald Trump, his advisor, Rudy Giuliani,
:01:42. > :01:44.has said that Mr Trump may raise the sexual history of the former
:01:45. > :01:49.Let's go to our correspondent, Laura Bicker who is
:01:50. > :02:03.This has the potential to get very ugly? It does, we have Donald Trump
:02:04. > :02:07.going through his run through inside and what he will probably say in his
:02:08. > :02:10.opening remarks but we've already got an idea of the tone he's going
:02:11. > :02:16.to use from his early-morning Twitter storm. He has denounced
:02:17. > :02:20.Republicans who have abandoned his candidacy as hypocrites. This is a
:02:21. > :02:22.Donald on the attack. Donald Trump's supporters
:02:23. > :02:28.are as defiant as the man himself. As they gathered for this brief
:02:29. > :02:37.glimpse outside Trump Towers, it was clear he is still their
:02:38. > :02:39.choice to be president. As ever, Mr Trump used Twitter
:02:40. > :02:56.to reinforce his message. Later, he tried to turn the tables
:02:57. > :03:02.on the Clinton campaign. He published a link to an interview
:03:03. > :03:04.with a woman who made a historic rape allegation
:03:05. > :03:06.against Bill Clinton. The accusation has never
:03:07. > :03:17.been tested in court. 16 Republican senators have
:03:18. > :03:21.withdrawn support for their party's candidate since this
:03:22. > :03:22.video was published. He brags about kissing
:03:23. > :03:27.and groping women. Hours before the debate,
:03:28. > :03:30.his campaign team is trying He is ashamed of himself
:03:31. > :03:37.and embarrassed. He is the father of two daughters
:03:38. > :03:46.and he has eight grandchildren, He would not want them
:03:47. > :03:51.to hear or see that. Donald Trump has proved to be
:03:52. > :03:57.a polarising figure. And his sexual boasts are not
:03:58. > :04:00.putting off all his voters. Everybody has flaws and things
:04:01. > :04:02.they do that are inappropriate. It does not mean he
:04:03. > :04:07.cannot be president. I compare him to JFK
:04:08. > :04:11.and Bill Clinton, every politician have loved women and women
:04:12. > :04:14.are attracted to power. It will not just be Donald Trump
:04:15. > :04:21.facing tough questions, Hillary Clinton may be
:04:22. > :04:23.asked about e-mails Never has the pressure been greater
:04:24. > :04:27.than on a Donald Trump and if he fails this
:04:28. > :04:38.test it could be a fatal The debate format to night is
:04:39. > :04:41.different from before. There are 100 members of the audience, undecided
:04:42. > :04:45.voters who get to ask half the questions and the moderators ask the
:04:46. > :04:50.other half. We know that the first question is going to be about those
:04:51. > :04:54.Trump tapes. 80 million people watched the last debate and usually
:04:55. > :04:58.the second one, the viewers drop off but I think for this one it is
:04:59. > :05:02.really must watch. Thank you for joining us.
:05:03. > :05:05.Well as we were hearing from Laura, a number of High profile Republicans
:05:06. > :05:09.have been deserting Donald Trump, but what about his core base?
:05:10. > :05:12.Well we can speak to Charlotte Laws, one Trump supporter.
:05:13. > :05:18.I'm interested in what you make of this video where Donald Trump is
:05:19. > :05:24.seen making very aggressive and lewd comments about women? I think it is
:05:25. > :05:30.much ado about nothing, honestly. We have known for a year and a half,
:05:31. > :05:34.ten years, 20 years that he talks in a crude way, that he says things as
:05:35. > :05:39.he sees them, and he speaks that way. The thing about club, he does
:05:40. > :05:47.not support the double standard, like many in society. He is an equal
:05:48. > :05:53.opportunity critic, attacking men and women. Many people attacking him
:05:54. > :05:57.seem to think that women are fragile and should be treated differently to
:05:58. > :06:02.men, that they should be sequestered from bad words. He does not believe
:06:03. > :06:06.that, he treats women verbally the same way and he promotes women, he
:06:07. > :06:12.has a history of putting them in executive positions, high-powered
:06:13. > :06:16.position, even in the 80s, in the construction industry, when this
:06:17. > :06:22.wasn't done at all. He pays high salaries and he is into equality.
:06:23. > :06:26.Even so, he has called women fat pigs, dogs and slobs. I'm struggling
:06:27. > :06:31.to see what he has called men that even compares to these things. He
:06:32. > :06:38.has said many things to men. He called Rand Paul ugly, he has called
:06:39. > :06:40.men many things. You will read articles and you will see the
:06:41. > :06:50.attacks that women make against men. Megan Kelly called Chris Christie a
:06:51. > :06:54.fatso on Fox News and nobody reported it. I have seen comments
:06:55. > :06:59.about Trump about how he is orange, how he is tubby but nobody says
:07:00. > :07:04.anything, because there is a double standard and that somehow you must
:07:05. > :07:08.treat women differently from men. I don't believe that, Trump doesn't
:07:09. > :07:14.believe it. We believe in pure equality. But name-calling and other
:07:15. > :07:19.comments that Donald Trump has made, it's not very presidential, is it? I
:07:20. > :07:24.totally agree and if that is your argument, that's fine. I think he'll
:07:25. > :07:29.be an excellent president. I think he will overthrow the status quo,
:07:30. > :07:33.that he will change the way that things are done in Washington and
:07:34. > :07:36.I'm very hopeful about that and I think he will go down in history as
:07:37. > :07:40.one of the best presidents of all time, if he can get elected. But if
:07:41. > :07:46.you don't like the language, then that's a perfectly fine argument.
:07:47. > :07:52.I'm not bothered by the language. You can look at people like Winston
:07:53. > :07:56.Churchill, other people in history who used foul language and work
:07:57. > :08:01.great leaders. Can you understand why people have been incensed by
:08:02. > :08:04.this language, including Condoleezza Rice? It is largely because people
:08:05. > :08:11.are entrenched in our success society, they believe in the double
:08:12. > :08:14.standard -- sexist society. I think they aren't really looking at it in
:08:15. > :08:21.a pure way and many people have an agenda. They either want to derail
:08:22. > :08:25.his campaign, which has gone on from day one, the establishment, even the
:08:26. > :08:32.media in the United States have been trying everything to derail his
:08:33. > :08:35.campaign. Or they don't want to lose their own power, they are afraid
:08:36. > :08:42.he's going to come in and change trade deals, he is a bit of a
:08:43. > :08:46.protectionist, he isn't going to interfere and rebuild other nations,
:08:47. > :08:49.he has a different policy to what has been in Washington. The people
:08:50. > :08:52.in power are very afraid they are going to lose that power and lose
:08:53. > :09:10.their money. Thank you for joining us.
:09:11. > :09:13.There have been protests in Yemeni capital Sanaa after Saturday air
:09:14. > :09:15.strike on a funeral in Yemen, which killed more than
:09:16. > :09:16.140 people and injured hundreds more.
:09:17. > :09:19.Saudi Arabia described the attack in the capital Sanaa -
:09:20. > :09:22.as a "regrettable event" - and said its coalition was ready
:09:23. > :09:24.to begin an investigation - in coordination with the Americans.
:09:25. > :09:26.The US said it would review its support for
:09:27. > :09:28.the Saudi-led coalition, which is allied with

:10:29. > :10:32.and Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said if civilians were
:10:33. > :10:34.deliberately targeted, Britain would review its criteria
:10:35. > :10:51.The conflict in Yemen escalated in September 2014

:11:29. > :11:41.for the Saudi coalition, which has already been cut back.
:11:42. > :11:44.Let's return to our top story, the US presidential debate.
:11:45. > :11:46.Tonight it will have a slightly different format to the first
:11:47. > :11:49.one we saw last month - the two candidates will be joined
:11:50. > :11:51.by a live audience of undecided voters.
:11:52. > :11:53.They'll be putting questions to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton
:11:54. > :11:57.who will be moderated by hosts from CNN and ABC.
:11:58. > :11:59.Let's speak to Aaron Kall, director of debate at Michigan University.
:12:00. > :12:06.Thank you for joining us. Shall we talk about the interview that we
:12:07. > :12:14.just did, I understand you have some strong views? Certainly a great job
:12:15. > :12:18.of a sorrow gut, making the best case and I think tonight that Trump
:12:19. > :12:22.is going to go back to his primary self and really attack the
:12:23. > :12:28.establishment and try and put him soft as being in the best light as
:12:29. > :12:32.being an agent of change in the election. How is Donald Trump going
:12:33. > :12:36.to handle the attacks that Hillary Clinton may make about this leaked
:12:37. > :12:39.tape? It's going to be front and centre at the beginning of the
:12:40. > :12:43.debate and I think the first thing he should do is immediately
:12:44. > :12:49.apologise, express contrition. Similar to Secretary Clinton during
:12:50. > :12:52.the first debate about her private e-mail server and he should ask the
:12:53. > :13:00.forgiveness of American voters, who are very forgiving people and if he
:13:01. > :13:04.shows genuine remorse they may be willing to forgive him. Both camps
:13:05. > :13:09.have been preparing for this for some time. What do you think the
:13:10. > :13:13.strategy for Donald club and -- Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton
:13:14. > :13:17.will be? Trump must address questions of his temperament. At the
:13:18. > :13:24.end of the last debate he did a pretty good job of stopping short of
:13:25. > :13:29.making really scandalous attacks. He ran out of steam. He started strong.
:13:30. > :13:33.This time he needs a solid 90 minutes and both candidates must
:13:34. > :13:36.show empathy towards the voters. Questions about the economy and
:13:37. > :13:40.trade and they need to connect with them and understand where they are
:13:41. > :13:43.coming from and provide common-sense solutions to the voters who are
:13:44. > :13:49.having a tough time making a decision. This contest has become
:13:50. > :13:56.very ugly indeed. Could it become uglier and what would voters make of
:13:57. > :14:02.that? There is potential for it to be really nasty and if he throws the
:14:03. > :14:09.kitchen sink and she comes back. Both of them have vulnerabilities. I
:14:10. > :14:12.think it will turn off voters. There are voters thinking about not
:14:13. > :14:16.voting, or in tracing a third-party candidate. If it gets so nasty you
:14:17. > :14:22.are going to see less turnout and a more uncertain election. If you had
:14:23. > :14:29.to call it either way, which way would you choose? Tonight? I think
:14:30. > :14:32.it's going to be a minor part of the debate, there will be a lot of
:14:33. > :14:41.hoopla. You mentioned Twitter. I think it will be a footnote. Thank

:19:31. > :19:37.Saint-Sa ns? It couldn't come worse, it has come at a difficult time in
:19:38. > :19:40.the smartphone market and for Samsung to have their premium
:19:41. > :19:44.handset taken off the market is very bad news for them indeed. This is
:19:45. > :19:50.the second replacement. What is going wrong for the company? In mid
:19:51. > :19:58.August when Samsung started selling the Note seven model, reports that
:19:59. > :20:08.the phone was overheating when being charged. Samsung took note of this
:20:09. > :20:13.and issued a global recall, which is unheard of, not many technology
:20:14. > :20:17.companies would go to such lengths. Samsung said that they would issue
:20:18. > :20:20.people with replacements but now feed the placements are catching
:20:21. > :20:27.fire with the same issue. Is it going to hurt them long-term?
:20:28. > :20:31.Initially it was extremely bad news for the handsets to be exploding but
:20:32. > :20:34.the fact that the recall is experiencing the same problems is
:20:35. > :20:39.extremely damaging. Very difficult to come back from that and restore
:20:40. > :20:45.consumer confidence in Samsung even though it is the world's largest
:20:46. > :20:49.mobile manufacturer. People won't invest if there is a risk of harm.
:20:50. > :20:58.Is it going to play into the hands of Apple, Samsung's biggest rival?
:20:59. > :21:02.Yes, coming after the release of the iPhone seven in September. In the
:21:03. > :21:06.run-up to Christmas people are going to be looking to buy new handsets
:21:07. > :21:13.and Apple will look to capitalise. What can Samsung do to bring back
:21:14. > :21:16.confidence to the device? At this point it looks like the only thing
:21:17. > :21:25.they can do is to kill off the Mode line. People are likely to go back
:21:26. > :21:29.and purchase older models -- the Note line. They will have to focus
:21:30. > :21:35.on the Galaxy range. Thank you for joining us.
:21:36. > :21:37.Would you let someone give you a free mystery tattoo?
:21:38. > :21:40.Well in London people have been at the centre of a gallery
:21:41. > :21:43.Behind it is renowned tattoo artist Scott Campbell.
:21:44. > :21:45.He tattoos for free any arm that comes through.
:21:46. > :21:48.But there is no communication, and the person only discovers
:21:49. > :22:06.I am Scott Campbell, doing a project which is essentially a hole in the
:22:07. > :22:11.wall and I am on the other side of the wall and anyone is welcome to
:22:12. > :22:15.put their arm through. I'm going to put my arm through the wall and let
:22:16. > :22:20.the artist do its work. No communication at all. I don't know
:22:21. > :22:22.how it's going to be, it is kind of a surprise but it's going to be a
:22:23. > :22:57.good surprise! JAZZY MUSIC I don't know what it is going to be
:22:58. > :23:02.but it is big, I can say that. Part of what I enjoy about the project, I
:23:03. > :23:07.don't really worry about what's on the other side of the wall. I just
:23:08. > :23:10.get to hide in my little room and do the thing that I love to do.
:23:11. > :23:17.Sometimes you can tell the gender, sometimes it isn't clear. I tried to
:23:18. > :23:25.predict what people would get. Every time that somebody's arm comes
:23:26. > :23:33.through and I put my hands on it, "This arm needs something else. " I
:23:34. > :23:39.don't have a message. I'm doing this out of my own curiosity and learning
:23:40. > :23:47.as I go. It is an idea of what I can do with tattoos in the same way as
:23:48. > :23:53.drawing, without asking permission. Letting the artist do his work,
:23:54. > :23:55.amazing. I am profoundly appreciative of the trust it takes
:23:56. > :24:04.to participate in something like this. When people pull the arm out,
:24:05. > :24:10.I want everyone who was afraid to put their arm in to look at it and
:24:11. > :24:21.wish they had done it. It is done? It is done.
:24:22. > :24:39.While! Amazing. -- wow! It was amazing. It turned out to be
:24:40. > :24:44.perfect. I was looking at the flames and skulls and I thought, let him
:24:45. > :24:50.mixed them up and it is likely read my mind. Button extraordinary thing
:24:51. > :24:55.to do. A giant pumpkin grown in Britain has become the biggest ever
:24:56. > :24:58.to be cultivated outdoors in the UK. It weighs over 600 kilograms.
:24:59. > :25:05.Earlier we caught up with the man who grew it from a seed. As of
:25:06. > :25:12.yesterday, the final day of the weighing, that was the end of 149
:25:13. > :25:18.days long project for me. That means that something must be done to the
:25:19. > :25:22.plant every day for 149 days, even if it is going out to be patched to
:25:23. > :25:29.make sure they are all right. Generally it makes sure -- it
:25:30. > :25:32.involves everything from watering first thing in the morning, watering
:25:33. > :25:40.for one hour every day, especially in the summertime. And in the
:25:41. > :25:44.evening I go down after work and spray the plants with various
:25:45. > :25:50.different things in the evenings. That is quite low, five times a week
:25:51. > :25:55.sometimes as the season goes on. Measuring, we must measure the fruit
:25:56. > :25:59.as well. I do that on most days to keep track of how much they are
:26:00. > :26:03.growing and try and get as much information about how to perform as
:26:04. > :26:10.possible so I can decide what needs to be done the next day the Mac the
:26:11. > :26:12.day after. Blimey, that is huge. That's it from me and the team for
:26:13. > :26:14.now.
