The ugliest US presidential debate in history.

Now the most senior Republican in the country says he won't

No handshake, no pleasantries - just harsh words and

Hillary Clinton attacks those same women. It's just awfully good that

somebody with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the

law in our country. She should be in jail.

We'll look at where the debate and the fallout leaves

It was possibly the most acrimonious Presidential debate ever

For an hour and a half, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton

In particular, Mr Trump put up a robust defence of his vulgar

comments about women, which were recorded a decade ago

but only made public in the last few days.

But he's lost another key ally - with the most senior Republican,

Paul Ryan, saying he won't spend any more time defending his party's

candidate for the White House and will instead focus on stopping

Mr Trump has told Mr Ryan to spend his time on jobs and immigration

rather than fighting the nominee. Here's our North America

editor Jon Sopel. They walked out smiling,

but as they drew closer, the awkwardness and tension

were evident. Hello.

Hello. And very quickly it was onto the now

infamous comments from Trump I've apologised to

the American people. Hillary Clinton sought to broaden

the attack on his He has said that the video doesn't

represent who he is, but I think it's clear to anyone

who heard it that it represents But it's not only women and it's not

only this video that raises questions about his fitness

to be our president, because he has also targeted

immigrants, African-Americans, Latinos, people with disabilities,

POWs, Muslims, and so many others. And this is where it got

nasty and dirty. Donald Trump chose attack

as the best form of defence. He brought with him women who'd

previously claimed to be sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton,

and Mr Trump didn't hold back. If you look at Bill

Clinton - far worse. Mine were words, and this

was action. There's never been anybody

in the history of politics in this nation that's been

so abusive to women. Hillary Clinton attacked those same

women, and attacked them viciously. When I hear something like that,

I am reminded of what my friend, Throughout the debate, Donald Trump

moved nervously around the stage. Sometimes as though he was stalking

her, often just lurking in the background as

an intimidating presence. His most effective attack was over

her use of private e-mail server, If I win, I am going to instruct my

Attorney-General to get a special prosecutor to look

into your situation. It's just awfully good that someone

with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law

in our country. And then the most surreal end

to this most poisonous debate. Would either of you name

one positive thing that His children are incredibly

able and devoted. And I think that says

a lot about Donald. I will say this about Hillary -

she doesn't quit. This was a brutal and savage 90

minutes. Donald Trump had to prove

that he could move beyond the sex scandal tape that has so rocked

the Republican party. There was a tepid handshake

at the end, but there's no love lost between the two of them,

and no easing of the animosity either between Mr Trump

and the deeply unhappy Jon Sopel, BBC News,

St Louis, Missouri. This more than any other US

Presidential election in history, is a battle being fought on social

media as much as it is on TV. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump

between them have over 20 million according to Twitter,

this was the most tweeted debate ever - with more than 17

million tweets posted. Mr Trump proved a more popular

subject than Mrs Clinton - with almost twice as

many tweets about him. Although the research doesn't say

if they were favourable or not. But despite that, Mrs Clinton

still won the battle to attract more And as for who might have

won the debate? This poll, carried out

by ORC for CNN gives it That might seem like a good

performance, but the same poll held after the first debate

gave her an even bigger margin We'll have the very latest

from our correspondent in the US in just a moment -

but first, here's some He's not the greatest debater,

it's not his strength, but I thought he did well

and he landed some shots Every time Hillary Clinton tried

to bring up the tape that unfortunately came

out a day or two ago, he just reminded her, "Hey,

your husband has a track record that far exceeds anything

I've ever said." So, I think he was right in doing

that, because if she's going to attack him on some childish

little comment, and I went to an all boys Catholic high school,

I know of comments like that. I don't like it, but,

you know, I don't like the e-mail thing either, so,

with Hillary Clinton, so it's like, you know,

pick your poison. It's ridiculous, I mean,

he's just saying things I mean, if you want to become

president, you have to respect females, and if you are not able

to do that, then how She was very clear about

Donald Trump's actual verbiage, and that it wasn't

true, check the facts. Really, I think it went similar

to the first debate. I still really have no idea

who I want to vote for. You want someone that's very

strong, very passionate. I think that she just says

what people want, and want to hear, and so does Donald Trump,

but you would still want to be I don't think either

of the candidates are like that. Live now to Washington

and our correspondent Aleem Maqbool. First of all, the political fallout.

How much of a blow is it that the most senior Republicans says he will

not be spending any time defending Donald Trump up to election day? On

the face of it, it is extremely damaging. This is the most senior

elected Republican, Paul Ryan, saying to all other Republicans,

fighting for seats in Congress, go and save yourself. If that means

disassociating yourself from Donald Trump, do it. He is saying that he

himself will not spend time defending Donald Trump but will

instead try to ensure in his words, that Hillary Clinton does not get a

blank cheque. That sounds as if he is conceding victory to Hillary

Clinton already. It looks damaging but you have to remember that a lot

of those people voting for Donald Trump, over the last year or so, but

in this country, are going to vote against the establishment. They are

talking about the Republican establishment as much as about

Hillary Clinton. In terms of Donald Trump Osman base, this might help.

He could say,, the rubble -- the Republican Party is against us all

but stick with me and we can turn things around. But for those in the

middle, those undecided, this is just another indication. Even those

people in his own party think that Donald Trump is a liability. But he

had that bike through the Republican primary process which got him to his

candidacy. -- he had that right through. I didn't harm him. But the

fact that Donald Trump is still standing after that video emerged,

that is quite an accomplishment in itself? Absolutely. Ahead of this

debate, there was all kind of talk about the fact that Donald Trump

could implode somehow. But he didn't. It was an extraordinary and

fairly depressing in some parts start to the debate with this brutal

-- these brutal blows, and they were described as just that, he was

laying on Hillary Clinton. But also Hillary Clinton missed opportunities

later in the debate to land that sort of fatal blow as well. He did

very well what he has done right through this, which is get his

message across, that whatever is wrong with America today is because

of the establishment in this country and people like Hillary Clinton. He

talked a lot about her untrustworthiness and that kind of

message is resonating. That is why he is still where he is today. But

Hillary Clinton did hold her ground and we saw through the Republican

debates that the other Republicans were unable to do that. It is in the

balance, that he is holding ground. Thank you very much for now. Both

candidates will be out on the campaign trail in the next few

hours. To Germany now, where a two-day

manhunt for a suspected Islamist militant has come to an end

after he was apparently tied up by people when he tried to take

shelter in their apartment. 22-year-old Jaber Al-bakr,

a Syrian national, was detained Police began searching for him

after finding bomb-making equipment Even the German police admit

they are believed to have The 22-year-old who arrived

in Germany as an asylum seeker last year, had been on the run ever

since police raided a flat in the eastern town

of Chemnitz on Saturday. There, they found hundreds of grams

of what is being described as highly dangerous explosive material,

together with fuses It is yet to be officially

analyse but police say their specialist on-site believe it

to be a substance known as TATP, which is the explosive used

by the Paris and Brussels attackers. Now, the police believe that

Jaber Al-bakr was perhaps in the process of putting together

some sort of suicide vest. They actually think that he may

have neared completion. They also believe he has

links with IS. Despite that European manhunts

and went on for well over 24 hours, police admitted today that actually

Jaber Al-bakr was apprehended Jaber Al-bakr was apprehended

by some Syrian refugees. It's thought he may have approached

them at Leipzig railway station. There are questions over how

he could have been wandering around such a public place

amid such tight security. One way or another, though Syrian

refugees took him When they realised who he was,

they tied him up. One of the refugees went

to the police station with a mobile phone picture of Jaber Al-bakr

and said to the officers there, I think we might have your man,

you might want to come Could be rather embarrassing

for the police. You sense that this operation didn't

go quite as well as the security Nevertheless, they are claiming this

arrest as evidence that they can manage the IS terror

threat against Germany, that they can, in effect,

keep the country safe. Now a look at some of

the day's other news. Taliban forces are mounting

an assault on Lashkar Gah, the capital of the strategically

important province of Helmand. Reports suggests the militants

are now within a few kilometres of the governor's compound,

though a provincial spokesman denied that areas close to the city centre

were being contested. Police in southern India

are investigating the family of a 13-year-old girl who died

after fasting for more The schoolgirl, Aradana Samdariya,

who lived in Hyderabad, only drank water in the early stages

of the religious fast. Her family has denied

forcing her to take part. The British-born Oliver Hart

and Bengt Holmstrom of Finland have been awarded the Nobel prize

in Economic Sciences for their contributions

to contract theory. The judges said their work laid

a foundation for designing business policies in areas such

as executive pay. The British government

is being warned that failure to strike a good deal over leaving

the European Union could mean big The British Retail Consortium -

the industry trade body - says reverting to World Trade

Organisation rules could result And it says years of deflation

could mean shops would struggle More from our Business Editor Simon

Jack. The retail industry presented

its post-Brexit stall today. As the biggest importer of goods

in the UK, the sector is worried costs could rise

when we leave the EU. As we import goods into this

country, coming from the EU, or other countries where there

are trade deals, those at the moment If as part of the exit from the EU

we have new tariffs, then that will put upward pressure

on prices for consumers. Once outside, the UK might have

to fall back on its membership of the World Trade Organisation,

which comes with its own rule book. Currently, meat moves

between the EU and UK tariff free. WTO rules impose

tariffs of up to 40%. Clothes from India arrive in the EU

with 12% added and under special rules for developing countries,

we could opt to introduce It is too soon to know exactly what,

if any tariffs will be imposed on imports coming

into places like Liverpool. The WTO rules are not

the government's preferred option but they are of

course a possibility. But one thing seems certain,

shoppers may have to get used to higher prices,

if only because of the fall in the value of the pound,

which makes imports coming here from the US and Europe

that bit more expensive. Here in Birkenhead, traders

and shoppers seem convinced the EU wouldn't want to make

life more difficult. They export more to us

than we buy from them. So therefore, they are going to want

to do the deals as much as we do. We buy a lot of flowers

so if they want to put tariffs on our cars, we will put

tariffs on their flowers. I think it definitely wasn't made

obvious to the public that, you know, prices of daily things

or gifts, etc, would go up. But I think it should have been

something everyone should There is another cloud

appearing in consumer skies. Petrol retailers warned

today 5p per litre hike in prices was imminent,

thanks again to pound weakness. Deal or no Deal, prices

look likely to rise. Simon Jack, BBC News,

Merseyside. The UK's Home Secretary Amber Rudd

says she expects to receive a list of children living in the Calais

camp known as the Jungle Ms Rudd says the details will come

from the French government, and that once she has the names,

she expects any children in the camp who want to come to the UK to make

the journey within days. France is planning to close the camp

in the coming days. The United Nations is calling

for a "massive international response" to help Haiti,

in the wake of Hurricane Matthew. It's appealing for $120 million

for immediate life-saving assistance for three quarters

of a million people in southwestern The money will go to provide food,

clean drinking water and shelter It comes as concern grows

about an increase in cases of cholera, which is spread

through contaminated water. This is what UN chief

Ban Ki-moon had to say. At least 1.4 million people

need our assistance at this time. Some towns and villages have been

almost wiped off the map. Crops and food reserves

have been destroyed. At least 300 schools

have been damaged. And these numbers are growing

as more affected areas are reached. Tensions are already mounting

as people await help. South Africa is grappling with

protests which have led the university is being closed. Students

are demanding free university education for all. But events have

taken a violent turn. There has been a tense stand-off

between riot police and students here at this university. The

students have told us that they are angry that a major meeting which was

supposed to have been held on Friday, was cancelled. They say that

the Vice Chancellor of the university did not inform them that

that meeting was going to be postponed. They grew impatient,

started throwing stones and private security and police, Hurriyat --

retaliated with stun grenades and rubber bullets. The stand-off does

not seem like it will be resolved any time soon because both sides are

digging their heels in. You may remember the smartphone

giant Samsung was forced to issue a recall of its Galaxy Note 7 phone

last month, after complaints Now there are reports that it's had

to stop production of the phone after claims that replacements

were also starting to emit smoke - like the two damaged

handsets you can see here. Our correspondent Steve Evans sent

this report from Seoul in Samsung's This is the heart

of Samsung country. Everybody here, most people anyway,

have Samsung phones. Some people use them

to phone, conventionally. Some people use them for videos,

selfies, like I am now. The Galaxy Note 7 is still being

advertised here but that is clearly redundant because Samsung has said

that it is rescheduling production. It was the sort out

the safety problem. If there is one thing you don't do

when you're a company, that is recall a product,

reissue it as safe and then have So there is clearly

a problem for Samsung. The other difficulty for Samsung

is the iPhone 7. Time has been lost by Samsung

in this great battle What started out as a bit

of a glitch with a launch is now turning into the danger,

the potential for a real Steve Evans reporting from his

phone. You may never have heard

of Clare Hollingworth, but her work as a journalist,

eight decades ago, is viewed by many as being as important as the events

upon which she reported. She broke the news of the start

of the Second World War, and also helped refugees

from Eastern Europe to flee Today she's celebrating

her 105th birthday - special message from one

of the children she helped to escape 105 years old is

something to celebrate. Clare Hollingworth now lives

in Hong Kong where today, friends and family threw

a party for her. She was a member of an exclusive

group in a man's world, It was this young, ambitious woman

who broke one of the biggest stories ever, the outbreak

of the Second World War. She sent the story to

the Daily Telegraph, having seen German tanks lined up

on the Polish border. This is the national

programme from London. Germany has invaded Poland

and has bombed many towns. I'm really passionately interested

in war and if one is passionately interested in war, one can't

help like being in it. Her family only discovered paperwork

about it in recent years. Clare Hollingworth helped thousands

of refugees escape the Nazi regime Margo Stanyer was one

of those she helped. She still has her travel papers,

with Clare Hollingworth's name on. The two women have never

met, never even spoken. But Margot recorded this video

message which was played today All I can say is thank you to Clare

again and again and again. I think of you a lot,

until the end of my life, I will, thanks for me and all my children,

because we are still here, Someone who has done truly,

truly good things for the world... Age, frailty in distance mean

the two women won't ever meet now but at 105,

Clare Hollingworth has finally had a personal thank you from someone

whose life she saved. Let's go back to the US

Presidential Debate - The run-up to the event

was overshadowed by the emergence of a tape of Donald Trump,

recorded a decade ago, when he made obscene

remarks about women, and how a man in his

position could treat them. The issue came up in the debate,

and here's how he responded.. Certainly I'm not proud of it,

but this is locker room talk. The sort of thing a group of men

might say without really meaning it Well, while Mr Trump may have

satisfied some of his critics, he's angered a new group in society

- professional athletes. Some of them are taking his

remarks rather personally. Chris Conley, who plays

American Football for the Kansas City Chiefs,

says he works in a locker room, He adds that in his experience,

while men DO talk about women, they don't do it in

the way Mr Trump did. And CJ McCollum, who plays

for the Portland Trailblazers basketball team, says he's not heard

language like that where he works. Mr Trump hasn't reacted to that

reaction to his locker room comment We're keeping an eye on how

the debate has affected the race for the White House -

and we'll leave you tonight with the latest BBC

News poll of polls. As you can see, Hillary Clinton

retains her advantage over Donald Trump, with her support
