:02:41. > :02:44.has not taken any option off the table at this point in time. We will
:02:45. > :02:45.see where we are in the next few days in the context of the

:02:52. > :02:53.in Syria - backed by Turkey - say they have captured
:02:54. > :02:58.the symbolically important town of Darbiq from the so-called
:02:59. > :03:03.Islamic State.The town is close to the Turkish border and holds
:03:04. > :03:06.great value to IS supporters - because of a folk belief that
:03:07. > :03:11.an apocalyptic battle with the west of a wider offensive
:03:12. > :03:19.by Syrian rebel groups. To explain more - here's BBC
:03:20. > :03:25.Arabic's Karim Gohary. It is a bi-word for the Islamic
:03:26. > :03:29.state group in its fight against its enemies or the West specifically. In
:03:30. > :03:35.terms of strategic significant, it is not really so significant, it is
:03:36. > :03:39.only a small town. Yes, it is not very far from the Turkish border.
:03:40. > :03:42.It's a backwater, really, so strategically, it is not that
:03:43. > :03:51.important. However, symbolically, in terms. Ideology and the propaganda
:03:52. > :03:58.machine that IS has been pushing since it emergedes, Darbiq has been
:03:59. > :04:04.significant. Their online magazine is called Babiq and their media
:04:05. > :04:11.operation is a named related it the same area. It tries to draw on a
:04:12. > :04:18.saying by the Prophet Muhammad that the final hour, when this battle
:04:19. > :04:23.will incur in Dabiq, in the time, when they were talking about the
:04:24. > :04:30.Romans or who they would refer to as Christians, buttist Islamic State
:04:31. > :04:36.has been using that to push for a sense in any kind of followers who
:04:37. > :04:42.wanted to support the group. Recently they downplayed the a
:04:43. > :04:45.little bit although it September supposedly 1,200 fighters to defend
:04:46. > :04:51.it, but it fell very quickly according to rebel groups and
:04:52. > :04:57.accord, as well to Turkish media. In a few hours' time. They just wru.
:04:58. > :05:01.Maybe they knew tactically at the wouldn't be able to stand up to the
:05:02. > :05:04.bombardment from the Turkish Army and coalition fighters as well.
:05:05. > :05:06.Well, earlier we heard earlier from the US Secretary of State
:05:07. > :05:08.and the british Foreign Secretary talking about Syria.
:05:09. > :05:10.Well, they've also been discussing the war in Yemen.
:05:11. > :05:13.They've called for an unconditional ceasefire, to begin within days.

:05:32. > :05:34.The Saudis blamed faulty information, but the incident has
:05:35. > :05:38.raised new concerns about its air campaign - which the UN says has
:05:39. > :05:43.been the main cause of civilian deaths in the country.
:05:44. > :05:46.The 15-year-old daughter of the US sprinter, Tyson Gay, has been shot
:05:47. > :05:50.Trinity Gay died after what witnesses say was an exchange
:05:51. > :05:55.of fire between two vehicles, in the city of Lexington.
:05:56. > :05:58.Let's speak to Dorian Craft, who is a sports reporter for Lex18News.
:05:59. > :06:03.She joins me live from Lexington, Kentucky where Trinity was from.
:06:04. > :06:10.Thank you for being with us. Do you have more information about this
:06:11. > :06:16.shooting and what happened? The information that we have you right
:06:17. > :06:20.now is that around 4.00 eastern time there was an exchange of gunfire
:06:21. > :06:24.between two vehicles outside of a cookout restaurant about three miles
:06:25. > :06:28.from where our station was located. Trinity Gay was not in the car, she
:06:29. > :06:33.was caught in the crossfire. The information we have now is she was
:06:34. > :06:35.struck in the neck and taken to the University Hospital where she was
:06:36. > :06:40.pronounced dead. At this point in time the informing we have is that
:06:41. > :06:42.the police have identified one car, they have ghot two people for
:06:43. > :06:46.questioning and are still on the lookout for the second vehicle but
:06:47. > :06:50.that's all we know right now. Dorrian, I understand your station
:06:51. > :06:57.has actually spoken to Tyson Gay, what did he say? Yes. Tyson Gay is
:06:58. > :07:01.close to my sports director, Alan Cutler, when he talked to him this
:07:02. > :07:04.morning he said he and his daughter were very close and he doesn't
:07:05. > :07:08.understand what happened is going on, and obviously under grief and
:07:09. > :07:13.shock. Trinity was with him a few weeks ago for their fall break. Mr
:07:14. > :07:17.Gay is on his way back to Lexington today. We do not know at this time
:07:18. > :07:21.when he will be getting back to town but right now still searching for
:07:22. > :07:25.details. What about Trinity Gay, tell us more about her. She was an
:07:26. > :07:30.athlete, I understand? She was. She was following in herth faer's
:07:31. > :07:35.footsteps. She was at a high school, which is where her father, Tyson
:07:36. > :07:42.ran. She was a sprinter, she finished fourth in the 400 m at the
:07:43. > :07:47.state meet and fifth in the 200 and she was part of the relay team. She
:07:48. > :07:52.was very successful athlete and her father holds the record for 100 m
:07:53. > :07:57.for the state in 20001. Obviously a lot of talent following in her
:07:58. > :07:58.father's footsteps. Absolutely. A very sad story. Thank you very much
:07:59. > :08:00.for being with us. Let's move to France -
:08:01. > :08:03.where campaigners are calling on the British government
:08:04. > :08:09.to urgently speed up its plan to resettle hundreds
:08:10. > :08:11.of unaccompanied children stranded at the camp known as
:08:12. > :08:13.the Jungle in Calais. There have been renewed clashes
:08:14. > :08:15.between French police and some migrants, ahead of the demolition
:08:16. > :08:18.of the camp within days. Our Special Correspondent,
:08:19. > :08:20.Ed Thomas has spent the last week at the Jungle, and sent us this
:08:21. > :08:26.report. The rush to escape
:08:27. > :08:37.the panic and the tear gas. 16 years old, and like many,
:08:38. > :08:43.a teenager alone, looking Some of the children trying to get
:08:44. > :09:04.in those trucks were as young These are the images that make
:09:05. > :09:08.many in Britain nervous. Mohammed says he has
:09:09. > :09:13.no family in the UK, But hundreds of teenagers here say
:09:14. > :09:27.they do have relatives in the UK They are 14 and 16 and say they left
:09:28. > :09:42.Afghanistan six months ago. He says he is sad and wants to be
:09:43. > :09:45.with his father and His brother tells us
:09:46. > :09:50.he is desperate. "We have given our names in,
:09:51. > :09:54.we don't know what to do," he says. If their family links are proven,
:09:55. > :10:02.the British Government has promised But first, Britain and France must
:10:03. > :10:16.agree who will care Well, our correspondent Gavin Lee,
:10:17. > :10:23.spoke to me a little earlier about how the British government
:10:24. > :10:25.was going to help unaccompanied Well, the British Home Secretary
:10:26. > :10:34.Amber Rudd has said last week that all of the eligible cases,
:10:35. > :10:36.children between eight and 17 who have family in the UK
:10:37. > :10:39.who are here all alone, she would be prepared to take
:10:40. > :10:41.as many as possible. We think it varies, but aid agencies
:10:42. > :10:44.estimate that between 1000 to 1300 potentially who they believe
:10:45. > :10:48.are here alone. Maybe half of those
:10:49. > :10:53.have links to the UK. Now, what will happen tomorrow,
:10:54. > :11:01.we are expecting hundreds of children, hundreds of people
:11:02. > :11:04.who think they may have a chance to register here as part
:11:05. > :11:06.of a fast track process. They will go to a secure area
:11:07. > :11:11.and as well as genuine cases of vulnerable children I am told
:11:12. > :11:13.there are lots of people who are adults who are chancing
:11:14. > :11:16.their luck who will say rather than getting on the lorries
:11:17. > :11:24.and try to illegally stow away, say that they are 17,
:11:25. > :11:28.so this may take some days. It is something that the French
:11:29. > :11:30.government have asked the British officials to be quick
:11:31. > :11:34.about but I cannot see Donald Trump has ramped
:11:35. > :11:36.up his allegation that the US election is being rigged against him
:11:37. > :11:39.- as a new poll showed the Republican presidential
:11:40. > :11:40.candidate drifting further behind his Democratic opponent
:11:41. > :11:42.Hillary Clinton. Mr Trump said on Twitter: "The
:11:43. > :11:45.election is absolutely being rigged by the dishonest and distorted media
:11:46. > :11:47.pushing Crooked Hillary - but also at many
:11:48. > :11:48.polling places. The comments come after several
:11:49. > :11:55.women have made claims of sexual He says they are all lies,
:11:56. > :12:22.and are part of a coordinated effort Donald Trump complaining about P a
:12:23. > :12:25.long list of things. What exactly is he complaining about here? Well when
:12:26. > :12:28.it comes to the message that the election is rigged it is something
:12:29. > :12:32.he has been talking about for months but it has become a central feature
:12:33. > :12:37.of his campaign. That's happening as the poll numbers begin to slouch but
:12:38. > :12:42.his language is very different from that of his running mate, who has
:12:43. > :12:50.said today that they will respect the outcome of this election. He
:12:51. > :12:54.believes the other think the media is against him, and yes, there is
:12:55. > :12:58.some sort of conspiracy led by the Clinton campaign but he says America
:12:59. > :13:04.have a long history of the peaceful transfer of power. But then, just
:13:05. > :13:08.hours after his running mate says this, Donald Trump releases that
:13:09. > :13:12.tweet. Still talking about the election being rigged. Just by the
:13:13. > :13:19.Clintons but also at the polling booths. Now there is no evidence to
:13:20. > :13:26.subbe stanciate this claim but what it does do is still paints him
:13:27. > :13:31.further as theant establishment figure to his supporters going
:13:32. > :13:36.against the Washington elite it also gives him a chance if he loses to
:13:37. > :13:40.say - it was rigged all along but the discussion is now at the point
:13:41. > :13:44.where people are asking - will he concede if he loses and if he
:13:45. > :13:47.doesn't, what will happen to his millions of supporters, now he is
:13:48. > :13:51.questioning the legitimacy of the election. Will they go on to
:13:52. > :13:55.question the legitimacy of whoever becomes president. Laura this is all
:13:56. > :14:00.being played out on social media a very bitter campaign indeed. What
:14:01. > :14:04.are the polls saying? How are voters taking all of this? There are
:14:05. > :14:09.different polling margins. One poll has come out with giving Hillary
:14:10. > :14:13.Clinton a four-point lead. Another a 7-point lead and another one, an
:14:14. > :14:17.11-point lead. So the polls are saying very different things.
:14:18. > :14:21.However in key battle ground states, Hillary Clinton does look to be
:14:22. > :14:26.pulling ahead and that's indicative. The problem for Republicans is what
:14:27. > :14:29.do they do now? Do they associate themselves with Mr Trump and gather
:14:30. > :14:34.his supporters or do they step back and say - no, no, we don't believe
:14:35. > :14:38.the same as he does and hope their supporters go to the polls? I think
:14:39. > :14:41.they are in a tricky position. As for Hillary Clinton she has to
:14:42. > :14:46.battle, perhaps, apathy. Perhaps many voters will sit at home and go
:14:47. > :14:51.- well, I'm not so sure Hillary Clinton viet one. I will don't want
:14:52. > :14:55.to vote for Donald Trump either but I'll not bother going to the polls.
:14:56. > :14:59.She has to get her vote out. There are still challenges on both sides
:15:00. > :15:00.with 4 days to go. Lawyeria, an interesting campaign, thank you very
:15:01. > :15:13.much. . Stay with us on BBC News. Stay with us on BBC News,

:22:29. > :22:31.move. We don't know what the pattern of displacement will occur. We need
:22:32. > :22:39.to remain extremely flexible but one thing is clear, we need more
:22:40. > :22:42.resources. UN HCR, my organisation alone, asks for $200 million to
:22:43. > :22:47.prepare for this offensive and we are still short of a very large
:22:48. > :22:51.amount of this money, we are still short of $120 million out of this
:22:52. > :22:56.comprehensive appeal that we have made. So, I'm urging, from Baghdad,
:22:57. > :23:00.here, from Iraq, I'm urging donors to really step up and arow us to
:23:01. > :23:05.complete the preparation. What do you think about IS? Do you
:23:06. > :23:14.think they are going to allow civilians to leave Mosul? We really
:23:15. > :23:18.don't know what will happen. There are many scenarios being talked
:23:19. > :23:21.about. We talked with the Iraqi Government, like I said I met this
:23:22. > :23:26.morning with the Prime Minister and I must say I was very impressed by
:23:27. > :23:29.what he told me, that they have impressed, themselves on their
:23:30. > :23:35.security forces, the importance to protect civilians. This is krush,
:23:36. > :23:39.because - this is crucial, because if civilians feel protected they
:23:40. > :23:43.will flee in much smaller numbers or maybe not at all. If the
:23:44. > :23:47.displacement can be minimised and this is the objective of the Iraqi
:23:48. > :23:51.forces, this, of course will be beneficial to call. But that
:23:52. > :23:53.approach to quality, the moderation of that approach, the respect for
:23:54. > :23:58.women and children and other civilians will be key and, you know,
:23:59. > :24:05.this is always very difficult to achieve in war, in conflict but we
:24:06. > :24:07.hope that lessoned learned in previous Owensives, will be applied

:25:21. > :25:26.this is a very dig deal for China. Now the Pentagon has long been
