Hillary Clinton's e-mails are back under

The FBI says it will investigate after new e-mails surface

from a personal server to see if they contain classified information.

Uber is told its drivers are entitled to minimum wage rates

and holiday pay by a UK tribunal - so what does it mean

The number of migrants sleeping rough on the streets of Paris goes

up by at least a third since the start of the week -

it follows the closure of the camp in Calais.

And taking the plunge to create the world's largest marine sanctuary

The director of the FBI says the bureau is probing new e-mails

James Comey had previously said his organisation had

completed its investigations into Mrs Clinton's use

Now he says the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that may

Laura any more information on emerging about these e-mails? We're

still waiting for an update from Hillary Clinton's camp but here we

are with just 11 days to go before America goes to the polls and here

we are once again talking about Hillary Clinton's e-mail. This has

come as a Friday bombshell. It was the FBI director James Comey who

wrote a letter to members of the US Congress and said that he had

discovered there has been the discovery of new e-mails, which may

be pertinent to the investigation. Let's remind viewers, this dates

back to when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. When she was

sworn in in 2009, she installed a private e-mail server in her home in

New York for her and use of e-mails. She has always defended it, saying

it was simpler. She has always said that if she had her time again, she

would not use that private e-mail server. There was an investigation.

The FBI investigated whether she mishandled classified information.

They cleared her of criminal wrongdoing, but James Comey also

described her as careless for her handling of classified information.

As you can imagine, the Republican response has been very swift. The

speaker of the house, Paul Ryan, has issued a statement saying Hillary

Clinton has nobody but herself to blame. She was entrusted with some

of our nation's most important secrets as she be traded by

carelessly mishandling classified information. Donald Trump has also

responded. He's in New Hampshire. We've managed to get a clip because

this is a breaking news story. This is what Donald Trump said at a rally

in New Hampshire. Hillary Clinton's corruption is on a scale we have

never seen before. We must not let her take her criminal scheme into

the Oval Office. . I have great respect for the fact that the FBI

and the Department of Justice are now willing to have the courage to

write the horrible mistake that they made -- right. This has been going

on for ages and doesn't seem to have that Hillary Clinton much damage so

far but with 11 days to go before the Americans start voting, what

about the American people? Is this neatly to damage Hillary Clinton's

chances? This goes down to the deeper issue of trust and many

people right at the start, when this story first broke, Hillary Clinton's

poll numbers did begin to decline slightly. However, now, with 11 days

to go, remember that millions, nearly 2.5 million people are

thought to have already voted, will that trust now diminished? --

diminish. As the news is breaking, it is hard to give analysis but you

have Donald Trump and the raucous applause. It will hit and perhaps

niggle at doubts in the maze of some voters and maybe make them think

again. I think it will be some days before we know that. Meanwhile, FBI

director James Comey says he's not sure how long this investigation

will take and the State Department has issued a statement saying it

fully cooperate. -- it will fully cooperate.

In what could turn out to be a major blow to the taxi app Uber,

a tribunal here in the UK has ruled in favour of Uber drivers,

saying they should be treated as normal workers -

and given holiday pay and the minimum wage.

Uber had argued that it's just a technology company,

not a taxi provider, and that their drivers work

for themselves as self-employed people.

Uber operates in more than 70 countries worldwide.

Uber drivers, like Asif, get their jobs via the smartphone app.

They are pioneers of the digital age.

While Uber is his main source of income, he is classed

Which is why he says Uber has been denying him normal workers' rights.

I have no control of the work, I have an app.

How could I be classified as self-employed, because I don't

Uber has 40,000 drivers in Britain, but they are not employees with full

employee rights, they are self-employed,

as Uber calls them, who have to fend for themselves.

But the drivers who brought this case, say they should be workers.

Which is legally somewhere in the middle.

Entitled to rest breaks, holiday pay, and the national minimum wage.

This is the most important employment law decision

Its implications reach far, far beyond Uber and reach right out

They clarify the position and level the playing field up.

Uber is no stranger to protest, traditional taxi drivers around

the world accuse it of driving down fares and standards.

It said it would appeal and that the overwhelming majority

of drivers who use the Uber app want to keep the freedom and flexibility

of being able to drive when and where they want.

Yet today's decision will reverberate around

a new generation of delivery companies, minicabs and courier

firms, which use smartphones to mobilise an army

They are going to need to look very carefully at the case

to decide whether they can distinguish their business operating

or whether it is sufficiently similar that they are now

at substantial risk of having to pay the minimum wage,

provide paid holiday, sick pay, and so on.

So, pending the appeal, Asif should get his workers' rights

because the Government has commissioned an independent review

into whether employment law now needs to be updated.

Dr Alex Wood is a Researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute

Thank you for joining us. Picking up on what Simon was saying, how does

Company mag employment in the UK compared to Uber employment around

the world? Could we see this change the cause of the ruling in the

United Kingdom? I think it will have any big implications because I think

governments around the world are now starting to look at the reality of

what is going on in the employment economy and they're thinking, can we

actually regulated? Are these companies just technology companies

or are they employing people in some cases? In New York recently, a

report their -- a court has decided that to Uber drivers are actually

employees and now we have this ruling in the UK, so the general

strategy of Uber across the world is to say, we are just a technology

company, we're just connecting these two entrepreneurs or these two

people who want a service. It has nothing to do with us. Governments

are now saying, it doesn't matter what your saying. We have to look at

the reality. It's going to have a very large impact across the world.

What we're talking about is indeed economy, this is what you're talking

about, you're responsible for your own taxes and employment but you go

to a company like Uber to get the work, so does Uber have a point in a

technology company that acts as an agent? The important thing is, it's

true a lot of drivers want to be self-employed because people value

the autonomy that that can have, but if you're going to treat people as

if they are employed in terms of bearing the risks or in terms of not

getting sick pay, not being paid a minimum wage, you also have to give

them the economy around other parts of their work and at the end of the

day, Uber has a huge amount of control over their workers, saw the

end of the drive they will be rated and if they don't get a high enough

rating, they will be deactivated from the service, so effectively

fired, and they can't decide that with clients. It is not then who is

deciding whether they're going to pick up a client or not, it is the

platform that is deciding, not then that is setting the rate, it is a

platform that is setting the rate, so I think it very interesting

aspect of this will be if Uber doesn't win on appeal, whether they

will change their practices so that they recognise that the drivers are

workers or will they continue to have a self-employed model, whereby

they actually provide a lot more autonomy and control to the workers?

Either way, it's a good thing. It doesn't necessarily mean that

workers' status as the best but if drivers are going to be classed as

self-employed, they should get the benefits that we usually think of as

going with being self-employed, which is having an autonomy,

deciding how and when you work. Thank you for the analysis,

fascinating. The number of migrants sleeping

rough on the streets of Paris has risen by at least a third

since the start of the week, This coincides with the dismantling

of the migrant camp at Calais. Hundreds of tents have been pitched

by migrants with numbers growing It's estimated there

are up to 2,500 sleeping rough in the area now,

up by around 1,000 Our correspondent in Paris,

Hugh Schofield, has more details. It's likely that some will be from

Calais but we're getting one from officials about the increase. People

are arriving in Paris from other places, crossing from Libya to

Italy, coming up North for Calais. There will be some from Calais, it

seems logical there will be some from Calais and also some from

Calais who lived before the evacuation, which started on Monday.

Paris has seen for years people living rough in the hundreds. The

encampments get cleared out and people move into more proper

accommodation and that is what they want now. Some of the report in the

local press, some of the people who are living rough, they are hopeful

of the police moving in to clear them out because of that happens,

they will be put in proper buildings and get a decent night's sleep. It's

not fun out there at the moment. This is a chronic problem. The

numbers build-up and they move on and who knows where they end up? The

Paris authorities have formulated one answer to this which is to set

up a permanent base for these migrants living rough, which will be

open in the next few weeks, not far from these camps, but that is a

centre in a disused railway building, which will take and maybe

400 people at a time, but the idea is they will be moved swiftly. But

where to? That's the problem. There is a growing need across France for

accommodation for the thousands of people who are living rough and need

either to be processed and apply for refugee status in France or in

theory are time to the countries where they crossed into you not like

Italy and Greece. I think that is most unlikely to happen. Let's

return to the developing story. In the last hour in New Hampshire,

Donald Trump, Republican candidate for the White House, has said the

political system might not be as great as I thought now the FBI has

decided to investigate new e-mails found in a probe of Hillary

Clinton's Private server. The BBC are following the Donald Trump

campaign and a correspondent joins me now from the Donald Trump

campaign. No surprise Donald Trump has been first to react to this

development but his support and many Americans will support his reaction.

I think it is an extraordinary twist in this extraordinary campaign. We

thought Hillary Clinton and her campaign thought the e-mails were

still a problem for her in this election, a political problem. They

were something that was constantly return to by Republicans and Donald

Trump. That was one of the major assets and that was even after the

FBI has decided not to begin criminal prosecutions but the

investigation is looking at new e-mails, and this is a gift to

Donald Trump and his campaign. It is the best news they have had in

months. At the beginning of this rally, where you can see Mr Trump is

still speaking behind me, he said he was proud that the FBI had decided

to reopen this. He said it was a more serious crime than Watergate.

He said the system wasn't as rigged as he thought it had been because of

the FBI decision. He was talking to the crowd and he said, my adviser

suggested I should skip this rally because this news is so big and we

should move on and prepare our responses, but I wanted to come out

and talk to you and tell you all about it, so I think they will be

cock-a-hoop in the Trump campaign at this news because things were

slipping away. There has been catastrophe and crisis after crisis

and this is explored -- extort narrowly strong political stuff, a

push in the pendulum they will find very welcome very important. We are

expecting some news on what Hillary Clinton's camp has said to say.

We'll see if there is any response from Hillary Clinton, so stay with

us for that. Russia's president Vladimir Putin

has said it's not the right time to resume air strikes on the Syrian

city of Aleppo. That's despite rebel groups in Syria

launching a major offensive to try to break the government siege

of the east of the city. Hundreds of missiles have been

fired at government-held positions by rebel groups

in a coordinated assault. Our Middle East correspondent

Quentin Sommerville has been following events from neighbouring

Lebanon and sent this report. God willing, say these

rebels, we'll soon be They brought with them

plenty of firepower. fired into the city's

as powerful - a new unity. Moderate rebels and hardline

Beirut. More reaction to development in

Syria any moment but we have a developing story regarding the US

elections. Hillary Clinton's e-mails are being investigated again by the

FBI. Donald Trump has already reacted, saying he welcomes the

investigation into possibly new e-mails that were sent on a Private

server that may have included top-secret contents but we don't

know that yet. Correspondent has called in. Kim is following the

Hillary Clinton campaign. Kim, any reaction? No reaction so far. The

news broke while we were on the plane. There was no Wi-Fi access to

the news was delayed well we were in the air -- while. We did get a

briefing from her aid -- aide. They were optimistic because things have

been going their way. She is going to Arizona on Wednesday, which is a

Republican state. This week has been unpredictable and this will be very

unwelcome news for the campaign. You do already see our extended network

of supporters reading that it is politically motivated and unusual

strains that the FBI should make this announcement 11 days before the

election, but this is something that the Hillary Clinton campaign will be

worried about. They will have to think how they're going to address

this and they must answer questions at this point from media. They

didn't do so when she came off the plane but this is something

essential for them to address moving forward. Thank you for the update.

Kim, our correspondent travelling with Hillary Clinton, Democratic

candidate for the presidency. Whoever takes the keys for the White

House will have to deal with Syria next year and the latest

developments that we were talking about is that rebels in Aleppo have

launched a major offensive to try and break the government siege in

the city. With me now is Dr Samir Puri

from the War Studies department at King's College,

London. Interesting, but Vladimir Putin has

said it is not the right time to relaunch air strikes on Aleppo. Do

you think that's got anything to do with the threat of investigations

into the possible war crimes? I think it's got something to do with

also the trip that the Russian naval fleet has been taking around the

Mediterranean. It is possible that Putin will allow the rebels to

exhaust themselves with something offensive before striking them again

later in the year. That we can't tell. Reading Putin's mind was

impossible. On both sides, there is the duty of care for civilians in

Aleppo and there are still many of them. Absolutely, the situation in

Aleppo is dire, something that has been reported for weeks and months.

Bombardment, food shortages, reduction in hospital care, means

that the rebels, unless they regain momentum in terms of this offensive,

they will continue to be a battle. The waters around Antarctica may be

icy, but they are teeming with life. This is one of the world's least

disturbed stretches of ocean. Because it is so rich

biologically, it is attracting The protection agreed today is seen

is hugely important. In the 25 years that I've been

working in polar marine biology, It is a massive decision

and British Antarctic Survey are delighted that all the hard work

for more than five years by 24 countries have resulted in this

incredible decision. Tiny creatures known as krill

are the foundation of life The aim of the new marine protected

area is to safeguard There's still so much

in this bizarre world that remains a mystery,

even after a century of exploration. For scientists it is a huge

challenge trying to understand what makes this remote

and unique ecosystem tick. I once saw that for myself

as I joined a team of biologists, So will the new deal

protect all this? It will last 35 years,

some say that is not enough. But for the campaigner,

Lewis Pugh, who even swam in the Antarctic waters

to highlight the issue, For me this is an issue

about justice. Yes, it is about the environment,

but most of all it is about justice. It is about ensuring that we look

after our environment That there's justice

between generations. What's remarkable about

the agreement for this remotest corner of the planet

is that there has been some very rare harmony

between Russia and the West. Far from the disputes

over Syria or Ukraine, governments have looked

at Antarctica and decided that it is just too

precious to put at risk. Back to a developing story, Hillary

Clinton's e-mails are back under the spotlight with the FBI reopening the

investigation after new e-mails surface. They are checking if any

classified information was used on a private e-mail server during her

time as Secretary of State. The US Speaker has said she should not

receive classified briefings until the e-mail investigation is fully

resolved. The FBI are saying they don't know how long that could take.

Should she enter the White House in January, she could become president

and still be under investigation by the FBI. Donald Trump welcomes the
