:00:00. > :00:00.This is BBC World News Today with me Chris Rogers.

:00:00. > :00:09.Hillary Clinton's e-mails are back under

:00:10. > :00:15.The FBI says it will investigate after new e-mails surface

:00:16. > :00:20.from a personal server to see if they contain classified information.

:00:21. > :00:23.Uber is told its drivers are entitled to minimum wage rates

:00:24. > :00:26.and holiday pay by a UK tribunal - so what does it mean

:00:27. > :00:32.The number of migrants sleeping rough on the streets of Paris goes

:00:33. > :00:36.up by at least a third since the start of the week -

:00:37. > :00:41.it follows the closure of the camp in Calais.

:00:42. > :00:43.And taking the plunge to create the world's largest marine sanctuary

:00:44. > :01:09.The director of the FBI says the bureau is probing new e-mails

:01:10. > :01:13.James Comey had previously said his organisation had

:01:14. > :01:16.completed its investigations into Mrs Clinton's use

:01:17. > :01:22.Now he says the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that may

:01:23. > :01:40.Laura any more information on emerging about these e-mails? We're

:01:41. > :01:44.still waiting for an update from Hillary Clinton's camp but here we

:01:45. > :01:49.are with just 11 days to go before America goes to the polls and here

:01:50. > :01:56.we are once again talking about Hillary Clinton's e-mail. This has

:01:57. > :02:00.come as a Friday bombshell. It was the FBI director James Comey who

:02:01. > :02:04.wrote a letter to members of the US Congress and said that he had

:02:05. > :02:07.discovered there has been the discovery of new e-mails, which may

:02:08. > :02:12.be pertinent to the investigation. Let's remind viewers, this dates

:02:13. > :02:16.back to when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. When she was

:02:17. > :02:21.sworn in in 2009, she installed a private e-mail server in her home in

:02:22. > :02:25.New York for her and use of e-mails. She has always defended it, saying

:02:26. > :02:30.it was simpler. She has always said that if she had her time again, she

:02:31. > :02:36.would not use that private e-mail server. There was an investigation.

:02:37. > :02:39.The FBI investigated whether she mishandled classified information.

:02:40. > :02:44.They cleared her of criminal wrongdoing, but James Comey also

:02:45. > :02:50.described her as careless for her handling of classified information.

:02:51. > :02:55.As you can imagine, the Republican response has been very swift. The

:02:56. > :02:59.speaker of the house, Paul Ryan, has issued a statement saying Hillary

:03:00. > :03:03.Clinton has nobody but herself to blame. She was entrusted with some

:03:04. > :03:08.of our nation's most important secrets as she be traded by

:03:09. > :03:13.carelessly mishandling classified information. Donald Trump has also

:03:14. > :03:19.responded. He's in New Hampshire. We've managed to get a clip because

:03:20. > :03:25.this is a breaking news story. This is what Donald Trump said at a rally

:03:26. > :03:33.in New Hampshire. Hillary Clinton's corruption is on a scale we have

:03:34. > :03:44.never seen before. We must not let her take her criminal scheme into

:03:45. > :03:50.the Oval Office. . I have great respect for the fact that the FBI

:03:51. > :04:01.and the Department of Justice are now willing to have the courage to

:04:02. > :04:05.write the horrible mistake that they made -- right. This has been going

:04:06. > :04:09.on for ages and doesn't seem to have that Hillary Clinton much damage so

:04:10. > :04:13.far but with 11 days to go before the Americans start voting, what

:04:14. > :04:17.about the American people? Is this neatly to damage Hillary Clinton's

:04:18. > :04:22.chances? This goes down to the deeper issue of trust and many

:04:23. > :04:27.people right at the start, when this story first broke, Hillary Clinton's

:04:28. > :04:32.poll numbers did begin to decline slightly. However, now, with 11 days

:04:33. > :04:36.to go, remember that millions, nearly 2.5 million people are

:04:37. > :04:44.thought to have already voted, will that trust now diminished? --

:04:45. > :04:53.diminish. As the news is breaking, it is hard to give analysis but you

:04:54. > :04:58.have Donald Trump and the raucous applause. It will hit and perhaps

:04:59. > :05:02.niggle at doubts in the maze of some voters and maybe make them think

:05:03. > :05:07.again. I think it will be some days before we know that. Meanwhile, FBI

:05:08. > :05:10.director James Comey says he's not sure how long this investigation

:05:11. > :05:17.will take and the State Department has issued a statement saying it

:05:18. > :05:18.fully cooperate. -- it will fully cooperate.

:05:19. > :05:21.In what could turn out to be a major blow to the taxi app Uber,

:05:22. > :05:25.a tribunal here in the UK has ruled in favour of Uber drivers,

:05:26. > :05:27.saying they should be treated as normal workers -

:05:28. > :05:30.and given holiday pay and the minimum wage.

:05:31. > :05:32.Uber had argued that it's just a technology company,

:05:33. > :05:35.not a taxi provider, and that their drivers work

:05:36. > :05:38.for themselves as self-employed people.

:05:39. > :05:40.Uber operates in more than 70 countries worldwide.

:05:41. > :05:49.Uber drivers, like Asif, get their jobs via the smartphone app.

:05:50. > :05:53.They are pioneers of the digital age.

:05:54. > :05:56.While Uber is his main source of income, he is classed

:05:57. > :06:12.Which is why he says Uber has been denying him normal workers' rights.

:06:13. > :06:14.I have no control of the work, I have an app.

:06:15. > :06:20.How could I be classified as self-employed, because I don't

:06:21. > :06:26.Uber has 40,000 drivers in Britain, but they are not employees with full

:06:27. > :06:29.employee rights, they are self-employed,

:06:30. > :06:45.as Uber calls them, who have to fend for themselves.

:06:46. > :06:48.But the drivers who brought this case, say they should be workers.

:06:49. > :06:49.Which is legally somewhere in the middle.

:06:50. > :06:59.Entitled to rest breaks, holiday pay, and the national minimum wage.

:07:00. > :07:02.This is the most important employment law decision

:07:03. > :07:07.Its implications reach far, far beyond Uber and reach right out

:07:08. > :07:12.They clarify the position and level the playing field up.

:07:13. > :07:18.Uber is no stranger to protest, traditional taxi drivers around

:07:19. > :07:22.the world accuse it of driving down fares and standards.

:07:23. > :07:33.It said it would appeal and that the overwhelming majority

:07:34. > :07:37.of drivers who use the Uber app want to keep the freedom and flexibility

:07:38. > :07:39.of being able to drive when and where they want.

:07:40. > :07:41.Yet today's decision will reverberate around

:07:42. > :07:43.a new generation of delivery companies, minicabs and courier

:07:44. > :07:45.firms, which use smartphones to mobilise an army

:07:46. > :07:49.They are going to need to look very carefully at the case

:07:50. > :07:54.to decide whether they can distinguish their business operating

:07:55. > :07:58.or whether it is sufficiently similar that they are now

:07:59. > :08:00.at substantial risk of having to pay the minimum wage,

:08:01. > :08:06.provide paid holiday, sick pay, and so on.

:08:07. > :08:10.So, pending the appeal, Asif should get his workers' rights

:08:11. > :08:15.because the Government has commissioned an independent review

:08:16. > :08:20.into whether employment law now needs to be updated.

:08:21. > :08:23.Dr Alex Wood is a Researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute

:08:24. > :08:37.Thank you for joining us. Picking up on what Simon was saying, how does

:08:38. > :08:42.Company mag employment in the UK compared to Uber employment around

:08:43. > :08:47.the world? Could we see this change the cause of the ruling in the

:08:48. > :08:51.United Kingdom? I think it will have any big implications because I think

:08:52. > :08:59.governments around the world are now starting to look at the reality of

:09:00. > :09:03.what is going on in the employment economy and they're thinking, can we

:09:04. > :09:07.actually regulated? Are these companies just technology companies

:09:08. > :09:16.or are they employing people in some cases? In New York recently, a

:09:17. > :09:19.report their -- a court has decided that to Uber drivers are actually

:09:20. > :09:26.employees and now we have this ruling in the UK, so the general

:09:27. > :09:30.strategy of Uber across the world is to say, we are just a technology

:09:31. > :09:33.company, we're just connecting these two entrepreneurs or these two

:09:34. > :09:40.people who want a service. It has nothing to do with us. Governments

:09:41. > :09:46.are now saying, it doesn't matter what your saying. We have to look at

:09:47. > :09:53.the reality. It's going to have a very large impact across the world.

:09:54. > :09:58.What we're talking about is indeed economy, this is what you're talking

:09:59. > :10:03.about, you're responsible for your own taxes and employment but you go

:10:04. > :10:11.to a company like Uber to get the work, so does Uber have a point in a

:10:12. > :10:15.technology company that acts as an agent? The important thing is, it's

:10:16. > :10:19.true a lot of drivers want to be self-employed because people value

:10:20. > :10:23.the autonomy that that can have, but if you're going to treat people as

:10:24. > :10:29.if they are employed in terms of bearing the risks or in terms of not

:10:30. > :10:33.getting sick pay, not being paid a minimum wage, you also have to give

:10:34. > :10:39.them the economy around other parts of their work and at the end of the

:10:40. > :10:42.day, Uber has a huge amount of control over their workers, saw the

:10:43. > :10:46.end of the drive they will be rated and if they don't get a high enough

:10:47. > :10:51.rating, they will be deactivated from the service, so effectively

:10:52. > :10:57.fired, and they can't decide that with clients. It is not then who is

:10:58. > :11:02.deciding whether they're going to pick up a client or not, it is the

:11:03. > :11:06.platform that is deciding, not then that is setting the rate, it is a

:11:07. > :11:11.platform that is setting the rate, so I think it very interesting

:11:12. > :11:15.aspect of this will be if Uber doesn't win on appeal, whether they

:11:16. > :11:20.will change their practices so that they recognise that the drivers are

:11:21. > :11:25.workers or will they continue to have a self-employed model, whereby

:11:26. > :11:32.they actually provide a lot more autonomy and control to the workers?

:11:33. > :11:38.Either way, it's a good thing. It doesn't necessarily mean that

:11:39. > :11:42.workers' status as the best but if drivers are going to be classed as

:11:43. > :11:45.self-employed, they should get the benefits that we usually think of as

:11:46. > :11:54.going with being self-employed, which is having an autonomy,

:11:55. > :11:55.deciding how and when you work. Thank you for the analysis,

:11:56. > :11:56.fascinating. The number of migrants sleeping

:11:57. > :11:59.rough on the streets of Paris has risen by at least a third

:12:00. > :12:01.since the start of the week, This coincides with the dismantling

:12:02. > :12:08.of the migrant camp at Calais. Hundreds of tents have been pitched

:12:09. > :12:11.by migrants with numbers growing It's estimated there

:12:12. > :12:17.are up to 2,500 sleeping rough in the area now,

:12:18. > :12:19.up by around 1,000 Our correspondent in Paris,

:12:20. > :12:35.Hugh Schofield, has more details. It's likely that some will be from

:12:36. > :12:39.Calais but we're getting one from officials about the increase. People

:12:40. > :12:46.are arriving in Paris from other places, crossing from Libya to

:12:47. > :12:49.Italy, coming up North for Calais. There will be some from Calais, it

:12:50. > :12:53.seems logical there will be some from Calais and also some from

:12:54. > :13:00.Calais who lived before the evacuation, which started on Monday.

:13:01. > :13:11.Paris has seen for years people living rough in the hundreds. The

:13:12. > :13:14.encampments get cleared out and people move into more proper

:13:15. > :13:23.accommodation and that is what they want now. Some of the report in the

:13:24. > :13:26.local press, some of the people who are living rough, they are hopeful

:13:27. > :13:34.of the police moving in to clear them out because of that happens,

:13:35. > :13:40.they will be put in proper buildings and get a decent night's sleep. It's

:13:41. > :13:47.not fun out there at the moment. This is a chronic problem. The

:13:48. > :13:51.numbers build-up and they move on and who knows where they end up? The

:13:52. > :13:56.Paris authorities have formulated one answer to this which is to set

:13:57. > :14:00.up a permanent base for these migrants living rough, which will be

:14:01. > :14:06.open in the next few weeks, not far from these camps, but that is a

:14:07. > :14:10.centre in a disused railway building, which will take and maybe

:14:11. > :14:17.400 people at a time, but the idea is they will be moved swiftly. But

:14:18. > :14:25.where to? That's the problem. There is a growing need across France for

:14:26. > :14:33.accommodation for the thousands of people who are living rough and need

:14:34. > :14:36.either to be processed and apply for refugee status in France or in

:14:37. > :14:39.theory are time to the countries where they crossed into you not like

:14:40. > :14:47.Italy and Greece. I think that is most unlikely to happen. Let's

:14:48. > :14:51.return to the developing story. In the last hour in New Hampshire,

:14:52. > :14:54.Donald Trump, Republican candidate for the White House, has said the

:14:55. > :15:00.political system might not be as great as I thought now the FBI has

:15:01. > :15:05.decided to investigate new e-mails found in a probe of Hillary

:15:06. > :15:09.Clinton's Private server. The BBC are following the Donald Trump

:15:10. > :15:13.campaign and a correspondent joins me now from the Donald Trump

:15:14. > :15:17.campaign. No surprise Donald Trump has been first to react to this

:15:18. > :15:26.development but his support and many Americans will support his reaction.

:15:27. > :15:32.I think it is an extraordinary twist in this extraordinary campaign. We

:15:33. > :15:37.thought Hillary Clinton and her campaign thought the e-mails were

:15:38. > :15:41.still a problem for her in this election, a political problem. They

:15:42. > :15:46.were something that was constantly return to by Republicans and Donald

:15:47. > :15:49.Trump. That was one of the major assets and that was even after the

:15:50. > :16:00.FBI has decided not to begin criminal prosecutions but the

:16:01. > :16:04.investigation is looking at new e-mails, and this is a gift to

:16:05. > :16:10.Donald Trump and his campaign. It is the best news they have had in

:16:11. > :16:14.months. At the beginning of this rally, where you can see Mr Trump is

:16:15. > :16:18.still speaking behind me, he said he was proud that the FBI had decided

:16:19. > :16:24.to reopen this. He said it was a more serious crime than Watergate.

:16:25. > :16:30.He said the system wasn't as rigged as he thought it had been because of

:16:31. > :16:33.the FBI decision. He was talking to the crowd and he said, my adviser

:16:34. > :16:38.suggested I should skip this rally because this news is so big and we

:16:39. > :16:42.should move on and prepare our responses, but I wanted to come out

:16:43. > :16:47.and talk to you and tell you all about it, so I think they will be

:16:48. > :16:52.cock-a-hoop in the Trump campaign at this news because things were

:16:53. > :16:59.slipping away. There has been catastrophe and crisis after crisis

:17:00. > :17:06.and this is explored -- extort narrowly strong political stuff, a

:17:07. > :17:16.push in the pendulum they will find very welcome very important. We are

:17:17. > :17:21.expecting some news on what Hillary Clinton's camp has said to say.

:17:22. > :17:22.We'll see if there is any response from Hillary Clinton, so stay with

:17:23. > :17:28.us for that. Russia's president Vladimir Putin

:17:29. > :17:32.has said it's not the right time to resume air strikes on the Syrian

:17:33. > :17:34.city of Aleppo. That's despite rebel groups in Syria

:17:35. > :17:38.launching a major offensive to try to break the government siege

:17:39. > :17:41.of the east of the city. Hundreds of missiles have been

:17:42. > :17:43.fired at government-held positions by rebel groups

:17:44. > :17:45.in a coordinated assault. Our Middle East correspondent

:17:46. > :17:47.Quentin Sommerville has been following events from neighbouring

:17:48. > :17:52.Lebanon and sent this report. God willing, say these

:17:53. > :18:01.rebels, we'll soon be They brought with them

:18:02. > :18:09.plenty of firepower. fired into the city's

:18:10. > :18:16.regime-controlled West. But there is something else just

:18:17. > :18:19.as powerful - a new unity. Moderate rebels and hardline

:18:20. > :18:20.Islamist working together. And here, they are using

:18:21. > :18:23.a favourite jihadist tactic. But in numbers far

:18:24. > :18:26.greater than before. More than half a dozen

:18:27. > :18:34.already today. This commander said,

:18:35. > :18:36.the criminal regime has They have committed continuous

:18:37. > :18:39.and the daily massacres. In the West, 15 people were killed

:18:40. > :18:48.and more than 100 injured. This boy says a tank

:18:49. > :18:50.shell hit the kitchen, And this woman, children

:18:51. > :18:53.were playing, the house East and West Aleppo started

:18:54. > :18:58.looking similar today. In the West, residential

:18:59. > :19:05.neighbourhoods were badly damaged. Unified, the rebels have more

:19:06. > :19:07.firepower and more ground By the afternoon, here

:19:08. > :19:11.in the Assad neighbourhood, Aleppo's fate, and that

:19:12. > :19:19.of Syria's vicious civil war For now, the rebels

:19:20. > :19:22.have the upper hand. Quentin Somerville, BBC News,

:19:23. > :19:36.Beirut. More reaction to development in

:19:37. > :19:41.Syria any moment but we have a developing story regarding the US

:19:42. > :19:45.elections. Hillary Clinton's e-mails are being investigated again by the

:19:46. > :19:49.FBI. Donald Trump has already reacted, saying he welcomes the

:19:50. > :19:57.investigation into possibly new e-mails that were sent on a Private

:19:58. > :20:01.server that may have included top-secret contents but we don't

:20:02. > :20:05.know that yet. Correspondent has called in. Kim is following the

:20:06. > :20:11.Hillary Clinton campaign. Kim, any reaction? No reaction so far. The

:20:12. > :20:17.news broke while we were on the plane. There was no Wi-Fi access to

:20:18. > :20:30.the news was delayed well we were in the air -- while. We did get a

:20:31. > :20:33.briefing from her aid -- aide. They were optimistic because things have

:20:34. > :20:39.been going their way. She is going to Arizona on Wednesday, which is a

:20:40. > :20:47.Republican state. This week has been unpredictable and this will be very

:20:48. > :20:54.unwelcome news for the campaign. You do already see our extended network

:20:55. > :20:57.of supporters reading that it is politically motivated and unusual

:20:58. > :21:01.strains that the FBI should make this announcement 11 days before the

:21:02. > :21:04.election, but this is something that the Hillary Clinton campaign will be

:21:05. > :21:08.worried about. They will have to think how they're going to address

:21:09. > :21:15.this and they must answer questions at this point from media. They

:21:16. > :21:17.didn't do so when she came off the plane but this is something

:21:18. > :21:22.essential for them to address moving forward. Thank you for the update.

:21:23. > :21:31.Kim, our correspondent travelling with Hillary Clinton, Democratic

:21:32. > :21:35.candidate for the presidency. Whoever takes the keys for the White

:21:36. > :21:38.House will have to deal with Syria next year and the latest

:21:39. > :21:43.developments that we were talking about is that rebels in Aleppo have

:21:44. > :21:44.launched a major offensive to try and break the government siege in

:21:45. > :21:45.the city. With me now is Dr Samir Puri

:21:46. > :21:48.from the War Studies department at King's College,

:21:49. > :21:56.London. Interesting, but Vladimir Putin has

:21:57. > :22:02.said it is not the right time to relaunch air strikes on Aleppo. Do

:22:03. > :22:05.you think that's got anything to do with the threat of investigations

:22:06. > :22:10.into the possible war crimes? I think it's got something to do with

:22:11. > :22:16.also the trip that the Russian naval fleet has been taking around the

:22:17. > :22:20.Mediterranean. It is possible that Putin will allow the rebels to

:22:21. > :22:23.exhaust themselves with something offensive before striking them again

:22:24. > :22:29.later in the year. That we can't tell. Reading Putin's mind was

:22:30. > :22:34.impossible. On both sides, there is the duty of care for civilians in

:22:35. > :22:38.Aleppo and there are still many of them. Absolutely, the situation in

:22:39. > :22:42.Aleppo is dire, something that has been reported for weeks and months.

:22:43. > :22:47.Bombardment, food shortages, reduction in hospital care, means

:22:48. > :22:49.that the rebels, unless they regain momentum in terms of this offensive,
