:03:06. > :03:11.said Donald Trump forcibly kissed her 20 years ago. I count that that
:03:12. > :03:16.is allegation number 12 at this point in time. As he has always
:03:17. > :03:21.said, he denies these allegations. As you heard there, he calls this
:03:22. > :03:25.lies perpetrated by a mass media, controlled by Hillary Clinton's
:03:26. > :03:32.campaign. What he's saying to his supporters is, look, it is us
:03:33. > :03:36.against them. At his rally today he said, this is the arrogance of
:03:37. > :03:41.Washington and the righteousness of me and you, my voters, who will
:03:42. > :03:45.overcome this. This is how he's framing this. It's a case of, this

:04:04. > :04:05.me on the 8th of November. This is a rigged system, he is saying, and
:04:06. > :04:08.he's eroding confidence before voters have even gone to the polls.
:04:09. > :04:13.I just want to play a little more from Mr Trump's rally on Saturday.

:04:41. > :04:44.at the beginning, and at the end it was like, oh, take me down.
:04:45. > :04:50.So I think we should take a drug test.
:04:51. > :05:03.You mentioned he's trying to control this new narrative, him against a
:05:04. > :05:07.rigged system. Is that a definite game plan or is it a method of
:05:08. > :05:12.surviving? He's lost so much support from his own base, the Republicans?
:05:13. > :05:17.It is difficult to establish whether this is a game plan they've talked
:05:18. > :05:20.about and gone after. He's always been the antiestablishment candidate
:05:21. > :05:24.and that's always been his main selling point. This is the kind of
:05:25. > :05:28.thing they are really, as you can see, lapping up. They believe
:05:29. > :05:32.Washington has become too big and too controlling, and when it comes
:05:33. > :05:37.to Hillary Clinton, she comes from political lineage and is a political
:05:38. > :05:42.person. She speaks in political pros. Therefore he is the

:05:50. > :05:54.It is a campaign tactic that could well work, but when it comes to the
:05:55. > :05:58.rigged system, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager has put this out,
:05:59. > :06:03.and he says, this election will have a record turnout because voters see
:06:04. > :06:06.through Donald Trump's shameful attempts to undermine an election
:06:07. > :06:12.weeks before it happens, and when it came to those allegations of drug
:06:13. > :06:16.taking, a Clinton support group have put out a statement describing it as
:06:17. > :06:19.simply outrageous. Laura, thank you very much. She was live from

:08:38. > :08:43.the opportunity to reduce the warming of the planet by

:10:04. > :10:13.the deal has been described as "monumental" by the US
:10:14. > :10:15.Secretary of State. A short time ago, I was joined
:10:16. > :10:20.here in the studio by Richard Black, the director of the London-based
:10:21. > :10:22.Energy and Climate I asked him if he agrees
:10:23. > :10:34.with that assessment. I think it is a significant step
:10:35. > :10:37.forward. I wouldn't call it momentous. It is actually a logical
:10:38. > :10:42.thing to do because you are talking about a group of chemicals used in
:10:43. > :10:46.one industry, refrigeration and air conditioning, and we already had a
:10:47. > :10:50.mechanism in place which has phased out two other groups of chemicals
:10:51. > :10:54.from these industries, largely from reason is because they were
:10:55. > :10:59.affecting the ozone layer. So why not use the same mechanism to do
:11:00. > :11:01.another group of super greenhouse gases? It's certainly a logical
:11:02. > :11:07.thing to do but it's certainly not the whole shebang. Countries like
:11:08. > :11:11.China get a whole decade more to reduce their emissions and India
:11:12. > :11:15.gets even more. Too many concessions given to those countries and was
:11:16. > :11:21.this and what -- an opportunity missed? It's difficult. Every
:11:22. > :11:25.country stands up for what it wants and you can't force them to do other
:11:26. > :11:30.things, but having that delay is consistent with what happened to the
:11:31. > :11:34.ozone-depleting chemicals. But it is logical. Western countries have the
:11:35. > :11:39.money, technology and know-how and they also have consumers who care
:11:40. > :11:43.about these things, so in European countries, for example, very few
:11:44. > :11:47.fridges you buy would have HFCs in them because the industries have
:11:48. > :11:51.already made the transition, so it is really a question of the West
:11:52. > :11:55.helping developing countries to move their industry as well. And we have
:11:56. > :12:00.to make it worth their while to get on board with these agreements.
:12:01. > :12:04.Because the conventional wisdom is that being sustainable is expensive.
:12:05. > :12:09.Is that a fact of life or is new technology adopting a more
:12:10. > :12:13.profitable stance? There are some industries where it is very, very
:12:14. > :12:18.difficult to see how you can get to a low carbon future. Aviation is
:12:19. > :12:22.one. But with fridges, those are pretty simple things. You need fluid
:12:23. > :12:27.that changes from liquid to gas fairly easily and will take heat out
:12:28. > :12:32.of the room or out of the fridge compartment, so in a sense, you have
:12:33. > :12:33.a range of things you can play with. It is really just a technological
:12:34. > :12:37.thing that engineers have to do. A Saudi report on how its warplanes

:13:09. > :13:12.it was one of their coalition planes that actually hit this funeral hall.
:13:13. > :13:15.I think one of the most interesting things is the details within this
:13:16. > :13:22.statement that came out of the preliminary findings. Things that
:13:23. > :13:25.refer to a party affiliated to the Yemeni presidency of the General

:13:39. > :13:42.one way or another, or many will feel this way, that the Saudis are
:13:43. > :13:43.trying to pass the blame or the majority of the blame onto the
:13:44. > :13:46.Yemeni intelligence and government. Adam Baron, a visiting fellow
:13:47. > :13:48.at the European Council for Foreign Relations and expert
:13:49. > :13:50.on Yemen, says the Saudi admission raises more
:13:51. > :14:01.questions than it answers. It is significant that the Saudis
:14:02. > :14:05.are accepting responsibility from allies of the coalition for this
:14:06. > :14:10.strike. After all, this strike initially happened, at the time,
:14:11. > :14:14.there were denials from the Saudis and the Yemeni government in exile,
:14:15. > :14:19.backed by the Saudis, which in effect was responsible for this. In
:14:20. > :14:24.a lot of ways, this statement raises more questions than it answers. It
:14:25. > :14:30.raises the question of lack of intelligence, blaming the strike
:14:31. > :14:35.effectively on a rogue Yemeni FO 's jet dash project, which is
:14:36. > :14:40.interesting, but when you read through this report, it underlines
:14:41. > :14:44.the necessity of an international independent investigation into
:14:45. > :14:51.allegations of war crimes by both the coalition and by them and their
:14:52. > :14:57.allies in Yemen. This could be a positive first step but in a lot of
:14:58. > :14:58.ways, when you are dealing with things, it can be described as a
:14:59. > :15:01.first step but it's not closed yet. Stay with us on BBC News.
