:01:31. > :01:36.On the ground - the Iraqi military says it has
:01:37. > :01:39.stormed the town of Qara-kosh - which is southeast of Mosul.
:01:40. > :01:41.Qara-kosh was the country's largest Christian town - before the war -
:01:42. > :01:45.that was until IS took control of it in 2014.

:01:49. > :01:52.With more, here's Shaimaa Khailil who sent this report
:01:53. > :02:10.Closing in on Mosul and the so-called Islamic State. But as the
:02:11. > :02:16.Iraqi and Kurdish forces get closer, the resistance grows fiercer. The
:02:17. > :02:20.battle for Mosul is in its six day and every day brings more
:02:21. > :02:26.challenges. This town is 15 kilometres array -- away from Mosul.
:02:27. > :02:33.It was recaptured from IS biters on Thursday. Today, however, is a
:02:34. > :02:43.different story. A convoy of Iraqi special forces came under fire from
:02:44. > :02:46.Iraqi. In the oil-rich city of Kirkuk, Kurdish forces have regained
:02:47. > :02:52.control, but there are still pockets of resistance by IS. Friday the Mac
:02:53. > :02:59.attack took everyone by surprise, not least the Iraqi and Kurdish
:03:00. > :03:03.forces. With most of the resources focused on Mosul. When the Mosul
:03:04. > :03:09.offensive started, the Major concern was about IS back -- in the city and
:03:10. > :03:12.the areas around it but if the attack on Kirkuk proves anything, it
:03:13. > :03:16.is that the so-called Islamic State will fight back not just in Mosul
:03:17. > :03:23.but in key cities away from the central battle. The US Defence
:03:24. > :03:26.Secretary is in Iraq at the moment discussing progress on the Mosul
:03:27. > :03:34.Operation Herne tried to get Iraq to accept Turkish support. Turkey, says
:03:35. > :03:39.it neighbours the region of Mosul, has an interest in the ultimate
:03:40. > :03:45.outcome in Mosul. Many other parties do as well, it is a complicated
:03:46. > :03:49.city. If Turkey does get involved, that is another element that adds to
:03:50. > :03:53.the mosaic of players that has come together to fight the so-called
:03:54. > :03:56.Islamic State. The challenge is not only to recapture Mosul but also to
:03:57. > :04:00.keep those different forces on the same side as they fight a united and
:04:01. > :04:04.determined enemy. Meanwhile, hundreds of people
:04:05. > :04:06.are being treated for the effects of toxic gases after a sulphur plant
:04:07. > :04:09.was set alight south of Mosul. The fire began two days ago,

:04:44. > :04:46.To the US now, where the Republican candidate for US President,
:04:47. > :04:50.Donald Trump, has been giving more details about what he'd do
:04:51. > :04:52.in his first 100 days if he won the election.
:04:53. > :04:56.Speaking at a campaign stop in Pennsylvania,
:04:57. > :04:59.Mr Trump said he would either re-negotiate or withdraw
:05:00. > :05:01.completely from some international trade deals.
:05:02. > :05:04.He vowed to halt billions of dollars in payments to United Nations
:05:05. > :05:08.climate change programmes and Mr Trump said he would make it
:05:09. > :05:11.easier to produce oil, gas and clean coal in the United States.
:05:12. > :05:14.The presidential hopeful also said he'd place restrictions on

:05:30. > :05:34.corrupt establishment and special interests in power at your expense
:05:35. > :05:45.and everybody's expense. I have no special interest but you, the
:05:46. > :05:53.American voter. I didn't have to do this, believe me. There is nothing
:05:54. > :05:58.easy about it. But I had to do it, I love our country, I love the people
:05:59. > :06:02.of our country, and I felt I had to do it.
:06:03. > :06:08.Let's get more analysis on this. Donald Trump making this speech in
:06:09. > :06:15.the significant town of Gettysburg, pitting himself to be the man of the
:06:16. > :06:19.people. This is Donald Trump attempting to press the reset button
:06:20. > :06:23.when it comes to his campaign. He says he is the man of the little
:06:24. > :06:29.person, he is the man of the American worker, he is the man to
:06:30. > :06:33.Hugh are all American division. Gettysburg was the turning point of
:06:34. > :06:36.the Civil War and it is where Abraham Lincoln made his famous
:06:37. > :06:42.speech trying to unite Americans after the Civil War. That is what
:06:43. > :06:47.Donald Trump seems to aspire to do. He has a few problems with that.
:06:48. > :06:51.First of all, he is seen as a very divisive figure in this campaign,
:06:52. > :06:56.even within his own party. Within the last few days, Republicans have
:06:57. > :07:00.put out an advert saying, we didn't want to many Hillarys in Washington.
:07:01. > :07:06.The indication is that they fear Donald Trump might not winds,
:07:07. > :07:10.therefore they want the Republicans to keep the house and the Senate.
:07:11. > :07:14.What Donald Trump is trying very much here to put some clear policy
:07:15. > :07:19.guidelines down and look forward and say this is what I would do within
:07:20. > :07:24.the first 100 days of office, and in doing so, there were some clear
:07:25. > :07:29.points. Immigration, we knew about the wall, but we didn't know about
:07:30. > :07:34.mandatory risen sentences for those who breach the wall and come over
:07:35. > :07:41.here illegally. We heard also about the limits on congressional,
:07:42. > :07:44.Congress women and men serving. That will go down very well with his core
:07:45. > :07:51.support who believe Washington are too big. It may go down well with
:07:52. > :07:56.his core supporters but what about those voters who may not be quite
:07:57. > :08:01.convinced about Donald Trump? We had 17 days to go and today, he has
:08:02. > :08:05.unveiled his plans for the first 100 days in office. Many people think it
:08:06. > :08:11.might be too late and he also unveiled it in a state that he
:08:12. > :08:15.appears to be losing, it is a swing state. There are other states that
:08:16. > :08:22.may swing towards the Democrats. So, he knows this has to work. Will it
:08:23. > :08:26.work? He has pitched himself successfully as the
:08:27. > :08:30.antiestablishment candidate and Hillary Clinton, among some voters,
:08:31. > :08:35.isn't popular either, mostly because she is an established political. Who
:08:36. > :08:40.knows, he might be touching a nerve, but it might be too late. A
:08:41. > :08:42.fascinating campaign. Thank you very much.
:08:43. > :08:45.Well, there are just 17 days to go until election day.

:10:17. > :10:22.The preparations are well under way. The mad, things are tense.
:10:23. > :10:27.Throughout the last hour or so, we have had a group of migrants who
:10:28. > :10:32.have been throwing stones up towards that road which leads towards the
:10:33. > :10:37.port and also towards Eurontunnel. Some have been rushing towards the

:10:41. > :10:43.into the cloud of migrants, there is still smoke behind me, there is
:10:44. > :10:48.still a situation ongoing this evening. For many people here, the
:10:49. > :10:55.realisation has dawned that this camp, known as the jungle, will be
:10:56. > :11:01.shut down. Just hearing some more smoke grenades being fired now. From
:11:02. > :11:05.Monday, the migrants will have to report to a hangar just down the
:11:06. > :11:09.road from here, they will have to register and then they will be
:11:10. > :11:13.bussed into different parts of France, two reception centres. I
:11:14. > :11:16.have been speaking to charities today who tell me the population of
:11:17. > :11:20.the jungle is thought to be around 10,000 or so, and they reckon about
:11:21. > :11:25.2000 people here will not go voluntarily. They may decide to
:11:26. > :11:30.leave the camp beforehand and try and live rough in other parts of
:11:31. > :11:34.Calais or in the area or they may decide to resist. Showing you the
:11:35. > :11:38.situation around here once again. We have the police here monitoring the
:11:39. > :11:43.situation as we speak. I think they are about to go in and try and bring
:11:44. > :11:48.some calm to this situation which has been going on for the past hour
:11:49. > :11:52.or so. They are armed with tear gas. We haven't seen any firing of tear
:11:53. > :11:57.gas but we have seen smoke grenades being fired. They are heading
:11:58. > :12:00.towards a large group of migrants in the distance there who have been
:12:01. > :12:04.throwing objects and I've been shouting towards the police who are
:12:05. > :12:07.up on the road there, the blue lights behind, they are the lights
