:01:42. > :01:48.the bureau's position public would be misleading
:01:49. > :01:50.the American people. Mrs Clinton has called
:01:51. > :01:54.on the FBI to give full and complete facts immediately -
:01:55. > :01:57.her presidential rival Donald Trump says it's the biggest
:01:58. > :02:10.scandal since Watergate. Ten days to go and this is not the
:02:11. > :02:17.conversation Hillary Clinton wanted America to be having.
:02:18. > :02:20.Once again, her e-mails are being investigated by the FBI,
:02:21. > :02:22.and once again she says she has done nothing wrong.
:02:23. > :02:25.So we do not know the facts, which is why we are calling
:02:26. > :02:28.on the FBI to release all the information that it has.
:02:29. > :02:31.Even Director Comey noted that this information may not be significant,
:02:32. > :02:41.Hillary Clinton has been dogged by one question in her bid
:02:42. > :02:43.to become president - did she mishandle classified
:02:44. > :02:46.information while she was Secretary of State because she used a private
:02:47. > :02:47.rather than government protected e-mail server?
:02:48. > :02:50.The FBI cleared her in July, but said she had been careless.
:02:51. > :02:55.The new inquiry is thought to be linked to this man,
:02:56. > :02:56.the disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner.
:02:57. > :03:00.The FBI is looking into his e-mails to see whether he sent sexually
:03:01. > :03:05.He used to be married to Hillary Clinton's
:03:06. > :03:10.Investigators seized the couple's devices.
:03:11. > :03:13.It is thought the e-mails may have come from there.
:03:14. > :03:16.In an internal memo to staff, the FBI director James Comey said
:03:17. > :03:20.he felt an obligation to investigate these e-mails.
:03:21. > :03:24.He said he was unsure of the significance of this
:03:25. > :03:26.discovery, but he made it clear he is aware that the announcement
:03:27. > :03:32.In the middle of an election season, there is a significant risk
:03:33. > :03:37.This is a gift to Donald Trump, who has nicknamed his
:03:38. > :03:47.The investigation is the biggest political scandal since Watergate,
:03:48. > :03:54.and it is everybody's hope that justice at last can be delivered.
:03:55. > :04:00.Hillary Clinton will hope America has heard enough about her e-mails
:04:01. > :04:03.that they have already made up their minds.
:04:04. > :04:07.Or will they have second thoughts about casting their ballot
:04:08. > :04:22.for a candidate still under suspicion by the FBI?
:04:23. > :04:24.Well Donald Trump has been addressing supporters
:04:25. > :04:28.In the last few ours he told them the FBI was right
:04:29. > :04:30.to release the details, despite reports the Department
:04:31. > :04:44.Now the Attorney General is fighting the SPI because the FBI finally did
:04:45. > :04:47.what was right. But also something that should have been done a long
:04:48. > :04:51.time ago. Well, we've been getting
:04:52. > :04:53.a lot of reaction on this development from both sides
:04:54. > :04:55.of the political fence. Here's just a little of
:04:56. > :05:05.what commentators have had to say. I believe the FBI should provide a
:05:06. > :05:12.lot more information than they have up to now. There is massive
:05:13. > :05:17.speculation. Nobody knows quite what the details are and the FBI itself
:05:18. > :05:21.doesn't even know whether it is significant or not. We need more
:05:22. > :05:27.information to help voters make a judgment. Otherwise, Republicans
:05:28. > :05:33.will play politics with this and I'm fortunately, the FBI will have
:05:34. > :05:38.played into the Republican politics if they don't provide more
:05:39. > :05:42.information. They already had issues with what they said Clinton did but
:05:43. > :05:47.they said there was no reason to go further. For them to open it up now,
:05:48. > :05:50.my God, there is something there. And with WikiLeaks releasing
:05:51. > :05:56.information every day about the foundation, about the e-mails, about
:05:57. > :05:58.the e-mails between Clinton and her campaign people, it is painting a
:05:59. > :06:06.picture that she cannot be happy with. It is in the best is dress of
:06:07. > :06:09.the FBI, the American people, the campaign, to have a full airing of
:06:10. > :06:14.what this is. The second part of this is Donald Trump thinks this
:06:15. > :06:17.will help sway the election but what you really need is a proactive
:06:18. > :06:22.vision and something to campaign on, not just hope that there will be
:06:23. > :06:27.some sort of e-mail that will help sway the election, which I do think
:06:28. > :06:30.it's going to happen. The timing is not good for Hillary Clinton but I
:06:31. > :06:36.don't think the FBI director had a choice. He had an obligation to
:06:37. > :06:41.alert Congress when his actions deviated from the testimony he gave
:06:42. > :06:45.Congress. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place, this was
:06:46. > :06:50.unprecedented but yet, here we are. Donald Trump is to be careful not to
:06:51. > :06:57.gloat about. This is nothing to gloat about. This is a real blight
:06:58. > :07:01.on American politics. If you want more background on this latest twist
:07:02. > :07:10.and much more, go to our website. There, you will find analysis.
:07:11. > :07:13.Let's go Iraq now where Shia militia fighters have launched an attack
:07:14. > :07:15.against so-called Islamic State militants west of Mosul
:07:16. > :07:18.as the offensive to retake the city continues.
:07:19. > :07:21.Members of the Shia-dominated Popular Mobilisation Forces say
:07:22. > :07:29.they are advancing on the town of Tal Afar.
:07:30. > :07:31.Their intentions, they say is to cut off Mosul,
:07:32. > :07:34.Islamic State's stronghold in Iraq - from Raqqa - the groups's
:07:35. > :07:56.The Apple for Tal Afar could be important. Its population was once
:07:57. > :08:01.around a quarter of a million, mixed around soon ease and Shia. It was
:08:02. > :08:07.overrun by so-called Islamic State fighters after a two-day battle in
:08:08. > :08:11.2014. Since then, IS has used Tal Afar as a base for its leaders and
:08:12. > :08:19.as a key link between its operations in Iraq and Syria. According to a
:08:20. > :08:25.spokesman, the Shia militants took them by surprise by attacking on
:08:26. > :08:29.three fronts. After 78 hours, we have liberated nearly ten villages.
:08:30. > :08:35.This corridor is considered the main artery in the mainline for the
:08:36. > :08:40.Islamic State group between Mosul on one end and Raqqa and Syria on the
:08:41. > :08:49.other. Victory for the government backed Shia militias. The city could
:08:50. > :08:53.be left in circled. Meanwhile, to the south of Mosul, the Iraqi army
:08:54. > :08:59.is claiming a new victory over IS, saying it has taken another town.
:09:00. > :09:02.But it is the involvement of the Iranian-backed Shia militias that is
:09:03. > :09:08.raising concerns, mainly that the axle of Mosul could aggravate
:09:09. > :09:14.sectarian tensions. In the past 24 hours, the Iraqi army has driven IS
:09:15. > :09:18.fighters out of a predominately Christian town. It had been occupied
:09:19. > :09:23.by two years and during that time, churches were destroyed. Many
:09:24. > :09:28.Christians abandon their homes and lead towards the autonomous Kurdish
:09:29. > :09:30.region. The battle for Mosul is expected to be the biggest since the
:09:31. > :09:34.invasion of Iraq 13 years ago. Well, Turkey's President Erdogan
:09:35. > :09:36.is unhappy with the increased involvement of Shia militia
:09:37. > :09:38.in the operation to recapture He has warned of a different
:09:39. > :09:42.response if Shia militia groups cause terror in the city
:09:43. > :09:44.of Tal Afar which is home He said Turkey would also aim
:09:45. > :09:51.to reinforce it's troops in the town President Erdogan has also been

:10:03. > :10:08.in Turkey in 2004 - but in the months since a failed
:10:09. > :10:23.coup, Mr Erdogan has called Tens of thousands of taken to the
:10:24. > :10:30.streets of Taiwan for a gay pride parade. Many called for the
:10:31. > :10:35.legalisation of same-sex marriage. Taiwan is more liberal than much of
:10:36. > :10:40.Asia but moves towards marriage equality have stored.
:10:41. > :10:42.Spain's conservative leader, Mariano Rajoy has won a vote
:10:43. > :10:44.of confidence in the country's parliament to end 10 months
:10:45. > :10:48.His centre-right People's Party will form a minority government -

:12:06. > :12:16.what was called the camp of Calais. The headlines saying the jungle has

:12:21. > :12:27.Hundreds of young people are still on site. 1500 of them on-site, those

:14:00. > :15:09.top of the English Premier League. This is BBC World News Today. Here
:15:10. > :15:13.is our top story. The head of the FBI has defended his decision to
:15:14. > :15:17.announce a further investigation into Hillary Clinton's e-mail use,
:15:18. > :15:24.ten days before the presidential selection. Let's stay with that
:15:25. > :15:29.story. I spoke to Brad Blakeman, a Republican strategist and former
:15:30. > :15:33.aide to President George W Bush, I asked him what he thought about the
:15:34. > :15:39.timing of the FBI announcement just ten days before Americans had to the
:15:40. > :15:42.polls. Certainly the timing is not good for Hillary Clinton but I don't
:15:43. > :15:48.think the FBI director have a choice, he had an obligation to
:15:49. > :15:52.alert Congress when his actions may deviate from the testimony he gave
:15:53. > :15:56.Congress so he was stuck between a rock and a hard place, this was
:15:57. > :15:59.unprecedented but yet here we are. Donald from Nice to be very careful
:16:00. > :16:05.not to gloat about this. This is nothing to gloat about. This is a
:16:06. > :16:09.real blight on American politics. Donald from Nice to take the high
:16:10. > :16:14.road and tell the American public what a shame this is that Hillary
:16:15. > :16:20.Clinton has put our nation and her party in this predicament. This is
:16:21. > :16:24.all self inflicted. If Hillary would not have had a personal server we
:16:25. > :16:29.would not be in this predicament and if she had turned over what her
:16:30. > :16:35.e-mails, then there would not be once dubbed the FBI to turn over.
:16:36. > :16:39.Officials are saying they are deeply upset about this decision and that
:16:40. > :16:45.really the FBI shouldn't interfere in this so close to the election.
:16:46. > :16:49.Again, the FBI didn't have a choice. As a lawyer, I have to say that
:16:50. > :16:53.probably they are looking at perjury, first and foremost, and
:16:54. > :16:59.there must be evidence showing that the evidence that they had of
:17:00. > :17:04.material value differs than the testimony that was given. So, if you
:17:05. > :17:08.look at American medical corruption, they seem to have one thing in
:17:09. > :17:15.common and it is perjury. It is not the underlying criminal charge that
:17:16. > :17:20.matters, it is the perjury. Do you think this could influence the
:17:21. > :17:24.outcome of the election? Absolutely. There is no doubt that in the
:17:25. > :17:29.closing days of the election, independence are making up their
:17:30. > :17:33.minds and this could be a bombshell for them to have a tipping point in
:17:34. > :17:37.their feeling that voting for Hillary is voting for somebody who
:17:38. > :17:44.will be played by scandal, not only in her past, but as president.
:17:45. > :17:47.Donald Trump has some serious allegations to answer as well. That
:17:48. > :17:53.will be interesting, in terms of the outcome of this election. Well, I
:17:54. > :17:56.think that anything in Donald Trump's past is eclipsed by the
:17:57. > :18:01.bombshell announced by the FBI of criminal conduct on behalf on
:18:02. > :18:08.Hillary Clinton and those close to her. That I think overwhelms
:18:09. > :18:12.anything that we know of Donald Trump that has come before. But,
:18:13. > :18:17.again, there could be other surprises for Donald Trump as well.
:18:18. > :18:28.It was a case of whatever you can do we can do too at the top
:18:29. > :18:32.All three teams that started the day level on points at the top won
:18:33. > :18:35.Arsenal had a 4-1 victory at bottom club Sunderland.
:18:36. > :18:37.Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was content his team won
:18:38. > :18:53.Very good. The first half, I was not happy with the start. But then we
:18:54. > :19:00.started playing really nice football. It was really outstanding,
:19:01. > :19:04.what we did then, passing wise and movement wise, it was really good.
:19:05. > :19:07.The other members of the leading pack Manchester City also scored 4.
:19:08. > :19:11.Sergio Aguero scored two first half goals before Ilkeye Gundogan added
:19:12. > :19:17.The end of Pep Guardiola's worst run as manager.
:19:18. > :19:22.He had been without a win in six matches.
:19:23. > :19:27.But his side are back on top tonight.
:19:28. > :19:36.It is the first time in my career, six times without winning is a long
:19:37. > :19:43.time. It is complicated but always you have doubt. The principles are
:19:44. > :19:48.not doubted at the players, the players with any other one, we have
:19:49. > :19:51.to play in different systems, sometimes you make it out.
:19:52. > :19:54.Lewis Hamilton's hopes of closing the 26 point gap to championship
:19:55. > :19:56.leader Nico Rosberg have been boosted by claiming pole

:20:01. > :20:02.than his Mercedes team mate, who's struggled to get close
:20:03. > :20:07.But Rosberg could take Hamilton's crown if he wins the race
:20:08. > :20:10.and the Briton finishes tenth or lower.

:20:38. > :20:42.Svetlana Kuznetsova in three sets in the first semi final.
:20:43. > :20:45.She looked out of sorts in the opener before bouncing
