This is BBC world News Today, broadcasting in the UK and around

the world. More trouble for Donald Trump. Two more women accusing the

Republican candidate for the White House of sexual misconduct.

Thousands of Thais gather to mourn the King. During a visit to Germany,

Nigeria's president tells his wife to know her place after she

criticises his government. I don't know which party my wife belongs to.

She belongs to my kitchen and my living room and the other room. How

is this for a cage fight with a great white? The moment they die

they came face-to-face with a killer shark. -- a diver. In the US, two

more women have come forward alleging Donald Trump of sexual

assault. One of them, a former contestant on his TV show the

apprentice said he targeted her when they were discussing employment

opportunities. The allegations were made in a press conference. Mr

Trump, when I met you I was so impressed with your talents that I

wanted to be like you. I wanted a role in your organisation. Instead

you treated me as somebody to be hit upon. I was embarrassed by your

sexual advances and share this information with people close to me.

Mr Trump, you were interested in me only because you wanted a sexual

relationship with me and for no other reason. After hearing the

released audio tapes and your denials during the debate I felt I

had to speak out about your behaviour. You do not have the right

to treat women as sexual objects just because you are a star. Mr

Trump has been campaigning in North Carolina and has yet to comment on

the allegation but he has branded his other accusers as being horrible

liars. Katty Kay is in Washington. . Thanks for joining us. Things have

been moving pretty quickly. At the same time Donald Trump was trying

dispel existing accusations, you could turn to another channel and

see fresh accusations. Extraordinary, it is unravelling

quickly. You heard the woman there, Summer Zervos, saying that Mr Trump

made advances in 2007 and there is another woman who is being reported

by the Washington Post, Kristin Anderson, saying she met Donald

Trump in a nightclub in New York in the 90s and he made unwanted sexual

advances towards her, that he put his hand up her skirt. A split it --

explicit accounts from these women. There are 11 who have accused him of

unwanted advances. The campaign has not responded to these accusations

but Donald Trump did a rally this afternoon at the same time as this

accusation from Summer Zervos was coming out and he said that some of

these women were doing it for their moment of fame. He said that they

will get some free fame and he called them phoney accusers. We know

that many senior Republicans have distanced themselves from Mr Trump

but there are those who are sticking with him, what have they been saying

about these allegations? I spoke to one of them this morning on a TV

show this morning, Ben Carson, who ran for the presidency himself, he

is a supporter of Donald Trump. I asked him if he thought these women

were lying, these accusers against Donald Trump. He didn't answer the

question but he asked for my microphone to be cut off, so I guess

he did not want to answer the Western. Absolutely. President Obama

was in the cross hairs of Donald Trump, he was campaigning for Mrs

Clinton but it seems that he has been targeted by Mr Trump and he had

some strong words. This has been a theme of the last 24, 48 hours from

the Trump campaign. What is happening is that Donald Trump is

setting himself up as being the sole defender of his message against

effectively the rest of the world, against President Obama, Hillary

Clinton, the Republican party and the crooked media. The most

criticism over the last 24 hours has been against the press, who he say

is in collusion with the Clinton campaign. It is almost as if, having

seen the pulse and how badly they are doing for him, there is some

sense that things are going so badly for them, why not attack everybody?

I must say that his supporters love this, they are thrilled to see

Donald Trump in attack mode. They love to see him attacking Hillary

Clinton and the media, it works well for those rallies he is holding but

I'm afraid it does not get him other voters, which he needed he is going

to win the White House. Thank you for joining us. We will hear more

later. Katty Kay has been to Ohio to hear more from people there about

the campaign. Thousands of Thais have gathered at Bangkok's royal

palace to mourn King Bhumibol Adulyadej who died on Thursday. His

body was brought to a palace in convoy as weeping mourners lined the

streets. Millions watched on TV. The Crown prince has been named as

successor but he has asked for a delay in the process and a former

Prime Minister has been named as the Regent.

This is the grand Palace, the King's body is there after an emotional day

in Bangkok, tens of thousands of people taking to the streets. There

are still large numbers of people here wearing black, the colour of

mourning. It will be a year mourning for King King Bhumibol Adulyadej who

died in hospital yesterday and today he's body was brought to Bangkok, to

the grand Palace. Emotional scenes, people kneeling down, praying, many

of them openly weeping. For many people in Thailand he is the only

monarch they have known, unifying figure in many years of dramatic

change in Thailand and considerable political upheaval. So his death has

been very keenly felt here. There is a degree of worry about what comes

next. Thailand is to mark the King's death for a year. Here is a look at

how people are likely to observe that mourning period.

Reaction in Thailand to the death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej. She

campaigned vigorously for her husband in Nigeria's election two

years ago but there has been a warning that she may not again back

him unless he shakes up his government. The presidents button to

shake up his government but according to his wife he does not

know many of his top officials. She said it was time that her husband

listens to his supporters. The president has shot back at his

wife's comments telling her, in his opinion, where it two in his

opinion, where she belongs. I don't know what party my wife belongs to

but she belongs to my Kitching and my living room. And the other room.

I was in the field for 12 years. I tried three times. The first time I

managed to succeed. I claim superior knowledge over her and the rest of

the opposition. In Nigeria, mixed reaction and some people saying on

social media that the president is behaving like Donald Trump. Many

people, especially women's groups and other activists, have condemned

his reaction. Some on social media comparing him with the Republican

presidential candidate, Donald Trump, while others are saying that

President Mohamed may be a good leader but is a bad husband

according to them. Others are asking, where was she is campaigning

for him? Some are saying that he was joking and in the last few minutes,

the President's spokesman has issued a statement saying the president was

joking when he said that his wife belongs to the kitchen. He wasn't

referring to her or trying to lower her status at all. Still to come:

the sound of history repeating itself, the Battle of Hastings

recreated 950 years on. Parts of San Francisco least affected by the

earthquake are returning to life but in the marina area they are more

conscious than ever of how much has been destroyed. In the 19 years

since he was last here he has moved on. It was a 20 be vomited blood on

the fifth floor of the hotel, ripping a fold in the hotel. This

government will not weaken. Democracy will prevail.

The nation held its breath and then the bells rang out and Chile rang

out an enormous roar. The headlines: two more women have come forward to

accuse Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump of sexual

assault. Thousands of Thais have gathered at Bangkok's royal palace

for late-night vigil to mourn King Bhumibol Adulyadej. A former Prime

Minister has unexpectedly been named as regent.

US Secretary of State John Kerry and the Russian Foreign Minister

Sergei Lavrov will hold fresh talks on Syria in Switzerland on Saturday.

The Syrian President has been speaking to a Russian newspaper.

He remains unapologetic over his force's actions in Aleppo -

This is what he had to say about his army's attempt

From the military point of view, it could be the springboard as a big

City to move in to other areas. You have to keep cleaning this area and

push back the terrorists to where they come from or to kill them. This

will be an important springboard to do this move. Some other stories

now. The trial of the Dutch

anti-immigrant politician, After a judge in The Hague

dismissed his lawyer's attempts to have hate speech

charges thrown out. The allegations against the leader

of the right-wing Freedom Party, stem from comments he made

at a rally in 2014. A pair of 13-month-old twins

conjoined at the head have been successfully separated after 16

hours of surgery in Doctors say Jadon and Anias McDonald

road of recovery and rehabilitation Americans travelling to Cuba will be

allowed to bring home more of the island's coveted cigars

and rum under new measures announced by the US government on Friday

to further ease trade and travel The news will be welcomed

by the Cuban government, which wants the decades-old US

embargo to be totally lifted. Some breaking news now. In the last

few minutes the US Transportation Department has said that all Samsung

Galaxy Note seven devices will be banned on all flights. Passengers

attempting to carry them on board a flight will be fined or have them

confiscated. The policy comes in on Saturday. Saint-Sa ns -- Samsun

suspended sales after reports the phones catching fire.

Let's return to our top story - the US presidential election -

there's just 24 days left in the race to the White House.

The election is won and lost in the swing states.

Ohio is one of those - and it's a must win for Donald Trump

because no Republican candidate has ever won the Presidency without it.

Despite losing popularity in the polls, fortunately for him

at least, the loss of manufacturing jobs in Ohio has led some

Democrats to rethink their political loyalties.

The BBC's Katty Kay visited Lorain, in the north of the state

This is the story of Lorain Ohio, the town that globalisation left

behind. A hard road for many people in this community. When you walked

out of high school and got your diploma, you could get a job the

next day, the Shipyard, Ford, but we don't have that any more. Mark is a

lifelong Democrat who has switched parties in order to vote for Donald

Trump. I'm upset, discouraged with the government, people's lives at

stake, people losing their houses. Mike doesn't like what Trump says

about women and immigrants but they'd be months ago he met the

candidate here at this diner and he was impressed. I'm voting for my

job. I asked a lot of questions. I didn't particularly care for a lot

of the answers, being a union steelworker but they were honest. On

the main drag the Clinton campaign makes a splash but they know that

Trump has tapped into something here. I was born here but I have

lived here my whole life. This man's family has been here for four

nations and Lorain has been union country and it should be Hillary

country. I think people are upset and they have seen that the status

quo is not going well for us, we need to do more and build an economy

that... I think that is what Secretary Clinton is pushing. Closed

factories littering northern Ohio, ghostly cathedrals to another time,

before the double blow of free trade and automation. When factories that

used to employ hundreds of workers now look like this, it's not

surprising that people are angry. It is more human to blame other

countries or immigrants than it is to blame computer chips and robots.

This plant is as much the story of technology as of trade. Susan is a

professor of economics who spent a few years working in the Obama

administration. We've had a particular kind of globalisation,

large multinationals worrying about things like intellectual property

but they don't protect Labour rights or environmental rights so you have

a globalisation that is really rewarding competition based on who

can mistreat their workers in the -- and the environment more. The

candidates can promise the moon but these steel meals will never provide

jobs and livelihoods the way they used to. A new industry will have to

revive Lorain. That is a challenge for whoever is the next president.

with rugby union and the European Champions Cup is underway with a

bad-tempered match. Glasgow currently 25-13 up against

Leicester. Richard Conway was in Zurich where a

two day meeting is taking place. Fifa started this two-day meeting in

Zurich talking about new plans and a new vision for the next ten years

but the theme over the course of the two days has been dominated by World

Cup expansion plans, specifically what they will do for 2026 and that

World Cup. At the moment 32 teams take part but what is under

discussion is perhaps 40 teams or perhaps even 48 teams for that

tournament. I spoke to Gianni Infantino, the president of Fifa,

who believes that the time is right for reform. I firmly believe that

the quality also has raised all over the world, football on the pitch and

I am advocating expansion. What it will be, 40, 48, I am open. Fifa is

looking to its future, it has a new secretary-general who has been

undergoing a thorough audit and looking through the books and she

says she has been surprised by what she's finding and she is

incrementing changes including saving ?120,000 in hotels fees this

week alone but there are other changes coming in terms of

transport. No more limousines. People are looking for getting into

this train of reform but also with the train of Fifa projecting a much

better image. Fifa officials will come back to Zurich on January the

night next year, they will make the key decision about the 2026 World

Cup and continue efforts to change perceptions about how they are

running football. To tennis now, and Andy Murray has

reached the semi-finals of the Shanghai Masters

with a straight sets Novak Djokovoc plays Spain's Roberto

Bautista Agut in the other semi. The German has signed a two-year

deal worth around ?17 million. Its is said there are only two

dates many English people One was a famous victory,

when England last won the World Cup. The other was a terrible defeat,

in 1066 King Harold was defeated by Frenchman,

William the Conqueror. It was the last successful invasion

of the UK and it took place exactly 950 years ago -

at what is known as Duncan Kennedy has been at the site

of the battle where some people have been

fighting the battle This was a battle for the very

future of England - King Harold's army against

the troops of William of Normandy. A clash of culture and power that

realigned the destiny of Europe. And re-enacted today, exactly 950

years after its brutal conclusion. Around 20,000 men took

part in the fighting. The battle lasted for

about nine hours. By the end, so many Saxons

were dying, there was hardly King Harold was killed,

his hopes and ambitions For those taking part today,

nine and a half centuries of time But how important is it

to remember this day? It's really important,

because this battle is the most significant in British

history, European history 600 children marched

in commemoration of the battle. 1066 is part of our

historical hinterland. And even today, this

cataclysmic event Our relationship with Europe,

for example, is very current. That is affected by the Norman

conquest, because after 1066, for the next 500 years,

English kings will have a very There will be more

re-enactments over the weekend, but English Heritage says

they're all sold out. 950 years on, this remains

a day full of impact, still informing our culture,

our society and our lives. And finally, some footage of a truly

terrifying encounter with a shark. It shows the moment when it got

into what was thought to be a shark-proof cage

with the diver inside. The shark is attracted to the cages

with a large lump of tuna, After a frantic few

seconds, the animal beats

its way over the top. With mounting concern for the safety

of the diver, who can't be seen. The experienced divemaster is shaken

but, thankfully, unharmed. He dropped beneath the cage when it

gave way, with two other sharks

just below him. These cages are professionally

engineered to withstand Amazing escape! You can get in touch
