:00:07. > :00:10.French authorities say it's mission accomplished.
:00:11. > :00:14.They have closed down the so-called migrant camp.
:00:15. > :00:16.Departing migrants are blamed for setting makeshift shelters

:01:17. > :01:19.For years, its been a destination for migrants and refugees hoping
:01:20. > :01:22.to cross the short stretch of water from Continental Europe to England.
:01:23. > :01:23.Now, according to the French authorities at least,
:01:24. > :01:26.the camp known as the Jungle is no more.
:01:27. > :01:29.They appear to have acted on their pledge to remove the shanty
:01:30. > :01:37.town at Calais, just 25 miles from the English coast.
:01:38. > :01:39.These were the scenes earlier today as residents set fire
:01:40. > :01:41.to the tents and shelters before being taken away.
:01:42. > :01:44.Officially, the migrants are being dispersed to reception
:01:45. > :01:49.But it's unclear how many have been left behind
:01:50. > :02:00.Today, the eerie calm that has hung over the Jungle broke.
:02:01. > :02:03.The ending of the camp telegraphed across the Calais sky.
:02:04. > :02:07.Shelters set ablaze in protest, perhaps, or resignation
:02:08. > :02:13.So far there has been very little resistance to this clearance.
:02:14. > :02:16.But the operation seems to be reaching a tipping point.
:02:17. > :02:24.Those who are still here have a different point to make.
:02:25. > :02:27.At the camp's borders, those who still had homes
:02:28. > :02:33.inside watched and waited, held back by riot police.
:02:34. > :02:36.Officials say the fires have speeded up the eviction
:02:37. > :02:43.and that the clearance will be over by tonight.
:02:44. > :02:45.TRANSLATION: We are seeing that after three days
:02:46. > :02:50.5,000 have come to this centre so far.
:02:51. > :02:53.The last fires in the camp have convinced them.
:02:54. > :02:56.We have seen some Syrians who didn't want to come initially.
:02:57. > :03:02.They are here now and community leaders, who said they also wanted
:03:03. > :03:05.to go now that their communities have gone and there was no-one left.
:03:06. > :03:12.But, in the past few hours, migrants have been filing back
:03:13. > :03:16.into the Jungle to sleep among the ashes.
:03:17. > :03:22.His friends, who joined the buses out on Monday,
:03:23. > :03:25.had told him it was not worth leaving, he said, and they were
:03:26. > :03:33.I know the Jungle has been finished - nothing -
:03:34. > :03:36.but it's better to be there until tomorrow.
:03:37. > :03:41.If the police come, we are ready to go to the detention centre.
:03:42. > :03:44.Aid workers say the speed of today's operation has left some
:03:45. > :03:48.of the camp's most vulnerable with nowhere to sleep tonight.
:03:49. > :03:51.In terms of the children, they are in not all
:03:52. > :03:55.We have counted so, so many who don't have the response,
:03:56. > :03:58.cannot get into the containers, cannot go into the Jules
:03:59. > :04:01.Ferry Centre and have no accommodation whatsoever.
:04:02. > :04:04.Officials say this is the last chance for migrants to leave before
:04:05. > :04:11.The story of Calais' migrants is over, they say.
:04:12. > :04:15.But for those still determined to reach Britain, it
:04:16. > :04:22.Leonard Doyle is from the International
:04:23. > :04:40.Do you think that this is the end of people attempting to come to the UK?
:04:41. > :04:44.Looking at the numbers of opportunities here in the UK, why
:04:45. > :04:49.are people still wanting to come here rather than claiming asylum in
:04:50. > :04:54.France? It is far from the end of people wanting to come to the UK.
:04:55. > :04:59.Why would they not want to? It is our vibrant economy and welcoming
:05:00. > :05:03.place. In terms of the problems in Calais, it is probably the end of
:05:04. > :05:06.the Jungle because of the determination of the French and
:05:07. > :05:12.British governments that this should end. It has deeply affected the
:05:13. > :05:18.politics of both countries. The question is surely that those
:05:19. > :05:22.migrants are entitled to claim asylum in France, in a safe country,
:05:23. > :05:28.not at threat, they should presumably not want to come to the
:05:29. > :05:31.UK. I have numbers on work and benefits, compared between the UK
:05:32. > :05:38.and France, and that is not huge difference. Great Britain is great
:05:39. > :05:42.for many reasons, the culture is extraordinary and people are
:05:43. > :05:49.attracted to it, and they also have family and language links. They can
:05:50. > :06:00.hardly be blamed for trying to improve their life. It makes them
:06:01. > :06:04.economic migrants though, once they have got to safety, trying to
:06:05. > :06:10.improve their life. If their asylum claims are meant to be assessed in
:06:11. > :06:16.the country were the first land in Europe, but that system has been in
:06:17. > :06:20.disarray for a long time. Is the French dispersal system going to
:06:21. > :06:23.work? Will they be able to quickly and easily claim asylum in France
:06:24. > :06:30.and will that alleviate the build-up? You also have to remind
:06:31. > :06:33.people that unaccompanied minors have a different status and they
:06:34. > :06:40.have to be given special conditions and treatment to avoid things like
:06:41. > :06:45.trafficking. With dispersal, France has put a lot of effort into this
:06:46. > :06:49.and it wants the problem to go away. It is treating political problems
:06:50. > :06:54.between both countries, creating a huge star in the British media,
:06:55. > :07:01.which is hyped up, if you think of the numbers in Germany last year,
:07:02. > :07:11.nearly a million, only 7000 in Calais. Thank you.
:07:12. > :07:13.Italy has been hit by a strong earthquake,
:07:14. > :07:20.There are no immediate reports of damage.
:07:21. > :07:24.The earthquake struck the centre of the country, not far
:07:25. > :07:28.from the southwest village of Visso, but the tremors were felt over 170km
:07:29. > :07:31.away in the capital Rome and as far as Florence and Naples.
:07:32. > :07:34.It comes just two months after an earthquake destroyed
:07:35. > :07:39.the hilltop village of Amatrice and a number of other towns,
:07:40. > :07:54.What more details than we have at the moment? We know that local
:07:55. > :08:00.authorities are trying to assess if the latest earthquake has caused any
:08:01. > :08:06.damage. It is 5.4 on the Richter scale, not as strong as the one in
:08:07. > :08:11.late August which left 300 people dead. They are trying to assess
:08:12. > :08:15.whether some buildings which are already damaged in August have now
:08:16. > :08:19.collapsed. I just heard an interview in local media with the deputy mayor
:08:20. > :08:25.of one of the towns affected, and their attention is on those
:08:26. > :08:27.buildings which had been badly damaged by the previous earthquake
:08:28. > :08:34.and could have collapsed with the previous one. So far, no indication
:08:35. > :08:36.of major collapses, but it was also very strongly felt in the capital.
:08:37. > :08:38.Iraqi special forces say they've moved over 1,000 civilians
:08:39. > :08:41.from areas around the city of Mosul, the last bastion of IS
:08:42. > :08:45.As Iraqi troops and Kurdish fighters continue their push
:08:46. > :08:47.towards the city, the militants are fighting back with scores
:08:48. > :08:53.Our correspondent Orla Guerin reports from the front
:08:54. > :09:00.line village of Fazliya, not far from Mosul itself.
:09:01. > :09:01.In the skies near Mosul, Apache helicopters armed
:09:02. > :09:11.The call to prayer echoes deep in the valley below
:09:12. > :09:23.The black flag of IS still flying here.
:09:24. > :09:26.Look at the other flags on the rooftops.
:09:27. > :09:30.Kurdish forces believe innocent civilians are indicating
:09:31. > :09:37.their locations but they are also a human shield for IS.
:09:38. > :09:41.They have gathered families in a few houses, says Captain Ali Hassan.
:09:42. > :09:47.That's why we can't open fire or bomb with jets.
:09:48. > :09:55.Otherwise we would have taken this village quickly.
:09:56. > :09:58.When it comes to taking Mosul, there are lessons to be learned
:09:59. > :10:04.Time has already run out for IS here but they have left
:10:05. > :10:16.Drums of oil, which they used to create a smoke screen.
:10:17. > :10:19.The whole world is fighting for this, says this Kurdish colonel,
:10:20. > :10:31.We didn't lift the rocks to find out.
:10:32. > :10:37.Inside the mosque, bags of earth, hidden from view.
:10:38. > :10:47.We descended to the depths of an underground lair.
:10:48. > :10:53.In this elaborate warren, IS fighters could live and move
:10:54. > :10:59.around, safe from air strikes and surveillance drones.
:11:00. > :11:02.This was the sleeping area for one of the fighters.
:11:03. > :11:09.There are strong beams here and there was an electricity supply.
:11:10. > :11:12.There were also some creature comforts.
:11:13. > :11:14.There is a fan here with Koranic verses written on it.
:11:15. > :11:20.It's a list of rules and regulations.
:11:21. > :11:23.There are rules for how you should pray on a Friday,
:11:24. > :11:26.how to pray when you travel, and how to pray before
:11:27. > :11:33.And the jihadis are emerging from tunnels like this
:11:34. > :11:40.This is just one tunnel in one village.
:11:41. > :11:48.Imagine what lies waiting under the streets of Mosul.
:11:49. > :11:51.The US Presidential election is just 13 days away and we're
:11:52. > :11:54.used to Donald Trump doing the unconventional.
:11:55. > :11:58.On Friday he took a break from campaigning to officially
:11:59. > :12:00.open his new hotel, close to the White House, no less.
:12:01. > :12:03.Mr Trump cut the ribbon with family members on Pennsylvania
:12:04. > :12:10.He didn't miss the opportunity to urge voters to dream big and bold.
:12:11. > :12:13.I'm tired of the excuses from our politicians.
:12:14. > :12:17.I'm tired of being told what cannot be done.
:12:18. > :12:21.I'm tired of people asking Americans to defer their dreams to another
:12:22. > :12:25.day, but really what they mean is to another decade.
:12:26. > :12:31.We can achieve our goals for this country and we can do
:12:32. > :12:36.so more quickly than anyone ever thought possible.
:12:37. > :12:47.There is nothing we cannot accomplish.
:12:48. > :12:49.Donald Trump will later resume campaigning in North Carolina.
:12:50. > :12:51.His Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, is spending her
:12:52. > :12:53.69th birthday rallying support in the important election
:12:54. > :13:06.Polls suggest the results could be very tight. She attacked the
:13:07. > :13:08.negativity of her opponent. It's about a common vision we share,
:13:09. > :13:13.of a hopeful, dynamic, unified America where everyone
:13:14. > :13:16.counts and everyone has a place. So I really believe,
:13:17. > :13:19.it may be my name on the ballot, Every issue you care about,
:13:20. > :13:23.every concern you have about our country or the world, just
:13:24. > :13:26.imagine that being on this ballot. It really does come down
:13:27. > :13:37.to who we are as a country. The BBC's Kim Ghattas is in Tampa,
:13:38. > :13:40.Florida, where Hillary Clinton is about to take to the stage
:13:41. > :13:54.for the second rally of the day. Quite a way to spend your birthday.
:13:55. > :14:03.Florida is a key state and everybody is watching. Why is Donald Trump not
:14:04. > :14:10.their? He has been criticised for this decision to open his luxury
:14:11. > :14:15.hotel in Washington, DC today, with the media and pundits here
:14:16. > :14:19.commenting on the fact it is more important for him to talk about his
:14:20. > :14:29.brand rather than America. Perhaps for Donald Trump, both blend
:14:30. > :14:33.together, when he talks about making America great again, he talks about
:14:34. > :14:37.his record as a businessman, which has also come under scrutiny, and he
:14:38. > :14:42.had a billboard outside one of the rooms of his hotel, which said under
:14:43. > :14:46.budget and ahead of schedule. Talking about how he managed to open
:14:47. > :14:52.and build the hotel under budget and ahead of schedule. That is his
:14:53. > :14:58.message. That he can do the same for America. But it is all about
:14:59. > :15:01.campaigning at the end of the day. Hillary Clinton is taking this very
:15:02. > :15:12.seriously, not leaving anything to chance. The polling is tight, she is
:15:13. > :15:18.ahead in some in Florida. She will be here today, here since yesterday,
:15:19. > :15:22.and back on Saturday. It is a key state for Clinton, but crucial for
:15:23. > :15:27.Donald Trump. He will not be able to win without Florida. Hillary Clinton
:15:28. > :15:32.has many more pass to the White House than Donald Trump at this
:15:33. > :15:36.stage. What the Clinton campaign is doing is trying to get as many early
:15:37. > :15:42.votes as possible. That is something you can do in the US. Voting early.
:15:43. > :15:46.Democrats traditionally have a problem with turnout on election
:15:47. > :15:52.day. So the Clinton campaign is trying to make sure as many people
:15:53. > :15:57.vote early as possible, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, where turnout
:15:58. > :16:03.will be crucial. They expect that 60% of registered voters in a state
:16:04. > :16:08.like Florida will have already cast their ballots before election day.
:16:09. > :16:11.It will be a tight race in Florida but overall Hillary Clinton is ahead
:16:12. > :16:17.in the polls in key battle ground states. A sense of how nervous
:16:18. > :16:25.Donald Trump's campaign might be is the fact that his running mate is
:16:26. > :16:28.today in a Utah, a traditional red state.
:16:29. > :16:30.And you can find everything about the US elections,
:16:31. > :16:32.including the latest polls, on our website.
:16:33. > :16:49.Over the past few months the BBC has been investigating
:16:50. > :16:52.a disturbing new phenomenon - the use of private or sexually
:16:53. > :16:54.explicit images to threaten, blackmail, or shame young people.
:16:55. > :16:55.So-called revenge porn happens everywhere.
:16:56. > :16:58.But across parts of Africa, the Middle East and South Asia,
:16:59. > :17:00.photos shared on smartphones have collided head on with traditional
:17:01. > :17:04.As part of this series, we spoke to a young Egyptian woman
:17:05. > :20:01.who sent a private dancing video to her boyfriend.
:20:02. > :20:03.That was Ghadeer Ahmed from Egypt, talking about standing up
:20:04. > :20:10.for the rights of women and girls in her country.
:20:11. > :20:12.Now a look at some of the day's other news.
:20:13. > :20:15.Russia has denied it formally requested a fleet of its warships be
:20:16. > :20:19.refuelled in the Spanish port of Ceuta.
:20:20. > :20:20.The ships are travelling near Spanish waters
:20:21. > :20:25.There had been concern from Nato countries that the ships would be

:21:09. > :21:11.He picked up the $60,000 prize at a ceremony at London's Guildhall
:21:12. > :21:16.His novel, The Sellout, takes a satirical look at race
:21:17. > :21:20.and racism in the United States, telling the story of a young black
:21:21. > :21:22.man who tries to reinstate slavery and racial segregation in a suburb
:21:23. > :21:39.I am delighted to say he joins us now. Congratulations. How did it
:21:40. > :21:48.feel when your name was read out? It was a shock. It felt good, of
:21:49. > :21:52.course. It is such an honour. It is a difficult book and it is so nice
:21:53. > :22:01.that people appreciate it. Surprised? Definitely. Could you
:22:02. > :22:05.read the first few sentences? This may be hard to believe coming from a
:22:06. > :22:11.black man but I've never stolen anything, never cheated on my taxes
:22:12. > :22:16.or at cards, never snuck into the movies or failed to give back the
:22:17. > :22:19.extra change to a drug store cashier indifferent to the ways of
:22:20. > :22:26.mercantilism and minimum wage expectations. I've never burgled
:22:27. > :22:32.house or held up a liquor store. We will stop there because it becomes
:22:33. > :22:39.slightly rude! Give us a flavour of the book. A little bit like what you
:22:40. > :22:44.said, and you have heard the phrase fight fire with fire, he is trying
:22:45. > :22:49.to fight racism with racism. Using these really classical historical
:22:50. > :22:57.methods of American racism to kind of empower and reinvigorate his
:22:58. > :23:01.community and put it back on the map, the town has been raised and he
:23:02. > :23:07.is trying to find out how to put it back on the map. It is very
:23:08. > :23:11.satirical and I wonder if people will read it in a different way,
:23:12. > :23:17.whether you have to be non-whites to get it in a different way. Did you
:23:18. > :23:34.write it with the election in mind? I wish I was that depression and --
:23:35. > :23:40.that pressure and... -- prescient. It is a book about absurdity and
:23:41. > :23:44.this election is absurd, the American sense of decorum and least
:23:45. > :23:50.things increasingly falling apart. I read a chapter which said how
:23:51. > :23:54.everyone blames Mexicans for everything and how ridiculous it is,
:23:55. > :23:56.and given Donald John noes-mac language about building a wall, was
:23:57. > :24:03.that going on when you were writing it? It has been going on ever since
:24:04. > :24:11.Latinos and white Americans have been in the same space. There have
:24:12. > :24:16.been many attempts... Donald Trump is the latest in a long line of
:24:17. > :24:21.people tried to push people over the border. As a novelist, how much of a
:24:22. > :24:30.difference does this prize make to you? I don't know yet. I can't
:24:31. > :24:33.really answer that. It feels good. Tomorrow is another day and one year
:24:34. > :24:41.from now there will be another winner. Does it give you a sense of
:24:42. > :24:44.security? No. The security comes from that I worked really hard and
:24:45. > :24:49.that people have acknowledged that I worked really hard, that is great.
:24:50. > :24:55.It makes the next few contracts of it easier to sign, and that more
:24:56. > :25:02.people will read it. That is what I am hoping. In terms of having a
:25:03. > :25:04.voice, we have had a black president, all going now, do you
:25:05. > :25:11.think he has brought about the change that able hoped for, that he
:25:12. > :25:23.probably opt for himself, on the race front was mac we have seen
:25:24. > :25:30.police -- front? That stuff has been going on forever. The is hopefully a
:25:31. > :25:36.spotlight on that stuff now. For a lot of people this is nothing new.
:25:37. > :25:44.There is attention on that, something merited attention long
:25:45. > :25:49.ago. In 20 seconds, how are you going to celebrate? I haven't yet. I
:25:50. > :26:01.had three quarters of a bear yesterday. -- drink of beer.
:26:02. > :26:05.Well, it certainly was quite mild day across most parts
:26:06. > :26:08.of the United Kingdom, and it's is a fairly mild
:26:09. > :26:10.over the next few days, with high pressure in charge
:26:11. > :26:13.Remember, wind's going round clockwise, so we are dragging
:26:14. > :26:18.our air in from the Atlantic, and that mild air is spread
