: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

:00:27. > :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

: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

: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

:20:06. > :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

:20:40. > :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.

:21:39. > :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

:21:46. > :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,
