:00:19. > :00:23.day after he said all the claims were lies a woman comes forward to
:00:24. > :00:29.say he should she was groped at a tennis tournament in 1998. He walked
:00:30. > :00:35.up to me and reached his right arm and grabbed my right arm. Then his
:00:36. > :00:43.hand touched the right inside of my breast. It comes after the final
:00:44. > :00:47.presidential debate when Donald Trump refused to guarantee he'd
:00:48. > :00:53.accept defeat if he lost the election. At his latest rally, he
:00:54. > :01:01.had this to say. I will totally accent the results of this great and
:01:02. > :01:11.historic presidential election, if I win. We will look at who were in the
:01:12. > :01:18.debate and ask what we can expect next in the most unpredictable of
:01:19. > :01:25.elections. Also, Iraqi forces are less than ten miles from the city of
:01:26. > :01:33.Mosul as Islamic state fighters put up resistance. We have to stay on
:01:34. > :01:44.the asphalt. Troops have been planting bombs around here for so
:01:45. > :01:50.long. And what happened when Britain's Brexit Prime Minister had
:01:51. > :01:58.to meet the people she was to thrash out a deal with. And no message from
:01:59. > :02:10.Mars, still unable to reach the Mars lander.
:02:11. > :02:16.For Donald Trump, the allegations just won't go away. He's been
:02:17. > :02:24.accused of impropriety by a dozen women. In the last few hours, that
:02:25. > :02:30.rose to 13. This is the woman with her lawyer, she said she had been
:02:31. > :02:37.approached by Mr Trump at the US open tennis tournament in 1998. Here
:02:38. > :02:42.is what she claimed happened. He reached his right arm and grabbed my
:02:43. > :03:00.right arm. Then his hand touched the right inside of my breast. I was in
:03:01. > :03:09.shock. I flinched. Don't you know who I am, don't you know who I am?
:03:10. > :03:18.That's what he said to me. Mr Trump has not responded to his latest
:03:19. > :03:22.allegations but he has previously denied other similar claims made
:03:23. > :03:25.against him. We can cross live to New York where the news conference
:03:26. > :03:35.was held. What else did she have to say? She basically said it was
:03:36. > :03:40.because Donald Trump had so strongly denied past allegations from these
:03:41. > :03:45.other women that she decided to step forward. She said it was her duty as
:03:46. > :03:50.a woman, a mother and American citizens to come forward with her
:03:51. > :03:54.story and while she anticipated that Mr Trump would call her another
:03:55. > :03:59.nasty woman she wanted to lend her support to other women. She said
:04:00. > :04:02.that she was waiting for a car to take her home when Mr Trump and
:04:03. > :04:14.other gentlemen were beside her. She said they made remarks treating her
:04:15. > :04:21.as an object and she came on to say that he came closer to her and
:04:22. > :04:23.touched the inside of her right breast. She was tearful at the press
:04:24. > :04:34.conference with her lawyer and its -- she said that it had changed her
:04:35. > :04:38.life and that coming forward had been very empowering for her. This
:04:39. > :04:44.came after the last of the presidential debate in Las Vegas.
:04:45. > :04:50.Donald Trump refused to say whether he would accept the result. I will
:04:51. > :04:55.look at it at the time. I am not looking at it. What I've seen is so
:04:56. > :05:00.bad. She should never have been allowed to run for the presidency
:05:01. > :05:06.waste on what she did with e-mails and other things. What I'm saying is
:05:07. > :05:14.that I will tell you at the time. I will keep you in suspense. Since the
:05:15. > :05:17.debate Donald Trump has travelled from Las Vegas to the key state of
:05:18. > :05:24.Ohio where he has been campaigning. He gave clarification to his
:05:25. > :05:31.remarks. I would like to polymers and pledge to all of my voters and
:05:32. > :05:38.supporters and to all of the people of the United States, that I will
:05:39. > :05:50.totally accent the results of this great and historic presidential
:05:51. > :05:54.election, if I win! CHEERING No sooner was the debate over than
:05:55. > :06:00.the argument over who had one got underway. A number of organisations
:06:01. > :06:10.held polls. These are the latest verdicts. This gave Hillary Clinton
:06:11. > :06:21.a clean sweep of all three debates. CBS carried out polling in 13 key
:06:22. > :06:29.battle ground states. But Mr Trump can rely on the Washington Times
:06:30. > :06:35.that came out in his favour. This poll also had him on top. There is
:06:36. > :06:41.only one poll that matters, the presidential result itself. That is
:06:42. > :06:47.only 18 days away. Philip Elliott is the Washington correspondent for
:06:48. > :06:52.Time magazine. Your response to Mr Trump saying he will accept the
:06:53. > :07:00.result if he wins. This was a remarkable statement from a major
:07:01. > :07:15.candidate. It flies in the face of all tradition.

:11:54. > :12:04.from it. Suddenly, a warning. "Get Down, there's a sniper.". We managed
:12:05. > :12:10.to listen into their communications. They tried to coordinate a counter
:12:11. > :12:29.attack on the troops. One commander says, tried to engage them on the
:12:30. > :12:37.bridge. The assault continues. In less than 60 minutes, the village
:12:38. > :12:43.fell. We are entering an area Kurdish forces have just taken. This
:12:44. > :12:48.village was a IS stronghold. The further they go forward, the more

:12:57. > :13:03.careful here. We have two stay on the asphalt. The truce believe that
:13:04. > :13:09.IS has spent months planting roadside bombs here. They know there
:13:10. > :13:20.are many hazards on the journey ahead but there is a sense that the
:13:21. > :13:23.noose is being tightened. A smooth constructive and Audley Brexit,
:13:24. > :13:29.according to those in the know. In terms of what Theresa May is hoping
:13:30. > :13:38.for as Britain readies itself to leave the European Union. She has
:13:39. > :13:42.the chance to make her case at a summit in Brussels. Officially,
:13:43. > :13:46.Brexit wasn't on the agenda but it was the first question journalists
:13:47. > :13:53.wanted to ask when Theresa May arrived. I'm here with a very clear
:13:54. > :13:58.message. The UK is leaving the EU that we will continue to play a full
:13:59. > :14:03.role until we leave and will be a strong and dependable partner after
:14:04. > :14:10.we have left. It is in all our interests to continue to work
:14:11. > :14:17.together. Including at this summit. So what might other leaders at the
:14:18. > :14:26.summit be expecting. My colleague Ross Atkins did his best to find
:14:27. > :14:35.out. BBC News. Ross Atkins, BBC News. Is it inevitable that UK is
:14:36. > :14:38.going to leave the single market? They have decided to and they want
:14:39. > :14:43.full access after leaving the European Union. That is only
:14:44. > :14:50.possible by accepting the fundamental rules of the European
:14:51. > :14:57.union. By refusing to compromise on freedom of movement are you making a
:14:58. > :15:01.hard Brexit inevitable? I don't know a compromise because there is no
:15:02. > :15:06.negotiation without notification. Some people say that the reason
:15:07. > :15:10.there will be compromise is because Germany's economy is reliant on
:15:11. > :15:21.exports to the UK. Nobody spoke about that. Do you stand with the
:15:22. > :15:26.German Chancellor? No answer to that question from the chairman of the
:15:27. > :15:34.European Parliament. BBC News, what do you expect to hear from Prime
:15:35. > :15:38.Minister may this evening? A question in English that can be
:15:39. > :15:41.translated. Do you think a preoccupation with unity is
:15:42. > :16:06.preventing strong measures on migration, for example?
:16:07. > :16:12.What will you say to Prime Minister Theresa May over dinner? What is
:16:13. > :16:40.your message to the UK? Thank you very much. Ross Atkins
:16:41. > :16:49.will be back on BBC News channel at 2000 GMT. I want to take you back to
:16:50. > :16:53.our top story. We have received a statement from the Donald Trump
:16:54. > :17:05.campaign following new allegations of sexual misconduct. It says,
:17:06. > :17:12."Another publicity seeking attack. The Clinton campaign. Add nothing to
:17:13. > :17:25.smear Mr Trump. We reject these fictional stories. A clear effort to
:17:26. > :17:29.benefit Hillary Clinton." Rights campaigners in the UK have welcomed
:17:30. > :17:36.a government decision to posthumously pardoned thousands of
:17:37. > :17:44.gay and bisexual men convicted of offences that have since been
:17:45. > :17:49.abolished. This comes after the Enigma code breaker Alan during was
:17:50. > :17:53.pardoned. Those living with convictions can apply to the Home
:17:54. > :18:00.Office to have their name cleared but some say that isn't enough. As
:18:01. > :18:06.you can see, Peter Tatchell is with me in the studio. You think it is
:18:07. > :18:12.enough? I think it is a valuable step forward but we need more. We
:18:13. > :18:16.need more, an apology, possibly compensation to the men who suffered
:18:17. > :18:24.because of their conviction under unjust, discriminatory anti-gay
:18:25. > :18:29.laws. Somewhere between 50,000 to 100,000 gay and bisexual men were
:18:30. > :18:35.persecuted under these laws in the 20th century. Many of them went to
:18:36. > :18:45.prison and in prison they were beaten up, by prisoners and even
:18:46. > :18:48.warders, they lost their jobs, homes, were attacked by mobs in the
:18:49. > :18:53.street. Many were driven to mental breakdowns and some committed
:18:54. > :18:59.suicide. And apology is on the cards as well as a pardon. An apology
:19:00. > :19:04.recognises that a grave injustice was done. A pardon is ambiguous
:19:05. > :19:11.because it implies that you did wrong but are forgiven. In my view,
:19:12. > :19:17.those men did no wrong. It was consenting, adult behaviour. No one
:19:18. > :19:24.was harmed, no one complained. They shouldn't have been arrested. Do you
:19:25. > :19:34.think you will get an apology? In the
:19:35. > :19:44.end, because the apology to Alan Turing set a precedent. Theresa May
:19:45. > :19:49.is keen to present her government as a liberal and modernising force and
:19:50. > :19:53.she will want to go the extra step to ensure that the principles
:19:54. > :20:01.applied to Alan Turing will be applied to all gay men. Thank you
:20:02. > :20:06.very much for coming in. This time yesterday the European Space Agency

:22:46. > :22:48.delighted to see extra treats. He took five litres of blackcurrant
:22:49. > :22:54.squash but he is a big lad and he can cope with that on a once off

:23:05. > :23:14.locks, that is the lesson to be learned. One thirsty gorilla! Now,
:23:15. > :23:19.more on the main news this hour. Social media is playing such a
:23:20. > :23:23.prominent role in this election and bloggers have something else to
:23:24. > :23:28.write about. At the second debate, Donald Trump triggered a twitter
:23:29. > :23:44.hashtag as he described comments he had made as locker room talk. This
:23:45. > :23:48.time it was about bad hombres. We have bad, bad people that have to

:23:55. > :23:58.determination as to the rest. We have got some bad hombres and we
:23:59. > :24:05.need to get them out. Within minutes the hashtag bad hombres was
:24:06. > :24:13.trending. There was the usual mixture of the concept with popular
:24:14. > :24:22.media. This from the film starring Steve Martin. Others claimed to
:24:23. > :24:31.confuse the phrase with the name for a hairstyle technique which in this
:24:32. > :24:35.picture has gone completely wrong. Some Donald Trump supporters tried
:24:36. > :24:42.to reclaim the hashtag and turn it against Hillary Clinton. Let's
:24:43. > :24:49.update you on where the latest poll of polls stands. This is how it has
:24:50. > :24:54.developed over the last month. Mrs Clinton has had a consistent lead
:24:55. > :24:58.but Mr Trump has been closing that gap in the run-up to Wednesday's
:24:59. > :25:09.debate and was trailing by just four points. Don't forget, there is much
:25:10. > :25:15.more on our website. Just log on. A reminder of the main news this hour.
:25:16. > :25:18.In the last few minutes Donald Trump's campaign has denied the
:25:19. > :25:23.latest allegation of sexual misconduct made against him. This
:25:24. > :25:29.woman says he molested her in front of a group of men at the US tennis
:25:30. > :25:37.open in 1988. Mr Trump's team have now said that this was just another
:25:38. > :25:41.coordinated publicity seeking attack that the Clinton campaign will stop
:25:42. > :25:47.at nothing to smear Mr Trump. Give me a break, he said, voters are
:25:48. > :25:51.tired of these antics and reject these fictional stories and the
