A Ukrainian military transport plane has been shot down

:00:22.:00:26.

by pro-Russian separatists, killing forty nine people on board.

:00:27.:00:30.

The plane, which was carrying troops and equipment,

:00:31.:00:34.

was about to land at Luhansk airport in the east of the country.

:00:35.:00:39.

It is thought to be the biggest loss of life suffered

:00:40.:00:42.

by government forces in a single incident since Kiev

:00:43.:00:44.

began an operation to try to defeat the insurgency in east Ukraine.

:00:45.:00:47.

This may be the moment when the missile struck. We have highlighted

:00:48.:00:54.

what is believed to be the burning Ukrainian military transport plane

:00:55.:00:58.

and it is just possible to see the missile continue its path. The plane

:00:59.:01:06.

was coming into land at Luhansk airport, and soon after it crashed,

:01:07.:01:10.

killing all 49 on board. This is the biggest loss of life yet suffered by

:01:11.:01:16.

Ukrainian forces as they try to push separatists out of their

:01:17.:01:19.

strongholds. Fighting is still going on around the airport. The plane was

:01:20.:01:25.

similar to this one, a Russian built freight aircraft. It is not the

:01:26.:01:30.

first time the rebels have used anti-aircraft weapons. At the end of

:01:31.:01:35.

last month, they shot only transport helicopter, killing a Ukrainian

:01:36.:01:40.

general and 13 others. Ukrainian forces had been making progress. On

:01:41.:01:45.

Friday, they celebrated victory against the rebels in a port city.

:01:46.:01:52.

But the continued to be up against heavy arms flowing in from Russia.

:01:53.:01:55.

This unverified footage shows Russian tanks driven by rebels on

:01:56.:02:01.

Ukrainian soil. The Russians deny sending arms but the State

:02:02.:02:05.

Department says it now has new evidence of Russian weapons and

:02:06.:02:07.

tanks crossing the border into Ukraine. In the last three days, a

:02:08.:02:16.

convoy of three D6 four tanks, several rocket launchers and other

:02:17.:02:21.

military vehicles crossed from Russia into Ukraine near the border.

:02:22.:02:30.

This is unacceptable. The battle for Marion Portal is not over. Three

:02:31.:02:35.

border guards have been reported to have been killed in shellfire. The

:02:36.:02:40.

escalation of fighting divides an unpromising backdrop to talks

:02:41.:02:44.

between Moscow and Kiev aimed at averting a cut in Russian gas

:02:45.:02:45.

supplies. The president of Iran says he's

:02:46.:02:49.

prepared to cooperate with the United States to fight Sunni

:02:50.:02:51.

Muslim extremists who have taken Hassan Rouhani also said

:02:52.:02:54.

his country was ready to provide Meanwhile the UK has announced it's

:02:55.:02:58.

to provide ?3 million worth of emergency aid to help civilians

:02:59.:03:04.

fleeing the fighting. Fighters

:03:05.:03:07.

from the ISIS group have seized the cities of Mosul and Tikrit

:03:08.:03:09.

and are moving closer to Baghdad. Our correspondent Paul Wood is

:03:10.:03:13.

in Irbil. Paul, the mention of UK aid there.

:03:14.:03:30.

While everybody debates how to deal with this advance, how much is the

:03:31.:03:35.

aid needed? Something like half a million people have fled Mosul

:03:36.:03:38.

according to the aid agencies, most of them to Kurdish territory. The

:03:39.:03:44.

aid is certainly needed. I have seen a trickle of people going back to

:03:45.:03:48.

Mosul, people who do not have any connection with the security forces

:03:49.:03:51.

and are happy with the idea of rule by ISIS. That is a prospect that

:03:52.:03:56.

terrifies many Iraqis and the government is marshalling its

:03:57.:04:02.

defences around Baghdad, with the prominence of assistance from the

:04:03.:04:08.

Iranians. Nouri al-Maliki visited the border towns today, saying that

:04:09.:04:15.

this is where the fightback begins. We spoke to a Sunni militia leader

:04:16.:04:19.

who has lost many members of his family to ISIS, but he said that

:04:20.:04:24.

without your support, he did not know how long they would hold out.

:04:25.:04:29.

We have also had a visit from the UN special envoy here. He called for a

:04:30.:04:33.

political solution and that, I think, is a reference to a

:04:34.:04:36.

broad-based government. The Iraqi government has been accused of

:04:37.:04:42.

having sectarian issues by the Sunnis. But I think any political

:04:43.:04:46.

solution will not include ISIS. They will fight on and there is no

:04:47.:04:49.

scenario here that does not end without more bloodshed.

:04:50.:04:55.

The Chief Inspector of Prisons, Nick Hardwick,

:04:56.:04:56.

has accused ministers of "political and policy failure", and warned that

:04:57.:04:59.

jails in England and Wales are so overcrowded that there is a risk

:05:00.:05:02.

The criticisms have been rejected by the Justice Secretary,

:05:03.:05:06.

Chris Grayling, who said by next April there would

:05:07.:05:08.

England will play the first match of their world cup campaign

:05:09.:05:19.

They'll face Italy who've won the tournament four times.

:05:20.:05:22.

The heat and humidity at the stadium in the amazon region of

:05:23.:05:26.

Manaus will offer an extra challenge for England's footballers.

:05:27.:05:28.

Our Brazil correspondent, Wyre Davies has more.

:05:29.:05:35.

A different view, a different time zone, and a very different climate

:05:36.:05:40.

from England's Rio case four hours away. -- base. The British were

:05:41.:05:46.

instrumental in building this remote city on the Amazon. While locals

:05:47.:05:52.

want only one team to lift the World Cup, this encounter is one of the

:05:53.:05:59.

most anticipated matches. Roy Hodgson's England squad arrived in

:06:00.:06:04.

Manaus a day early to acclimatise but does the coach think that the

:06:05.:06:08.

heat and unity will dictate the kind of game that we see? We have been

:06:09.:06:13.

training in heat and humidity and we look very fit as a result. As far as

:06:14.:06:18.

I'm concerned, the only matter to deal with is the quality of the

:06:19.:06:24.

Italian team and to make certain that we can not only match their

:06:25.:06:28.

quality but better it. Impressive but extravagant. How would the

:06:29.:06:33.

Manaus Stadium will be used after the cup is a big question. In a

:06:34.:06:38.

region with no big club sides to fill the 44,000 seats. Officials

:06:39.:06:44.

here reject those accusations that the stadium is a white elephant,

:06:45.:06:48.

saying they have been here before. 100 years ago, a height of the

:06:49.:06:52.

rubber boom, they build this opera house, considered at the time of

:06:53.:06:55.

huge waste of money. It is now regarded as one of the jewels in

:06:56.:07:05.

Brazil's crime. -- Crown. Operatic notes were in short supply as

:07:06.:07:09.

England fans took over the city's watering holes. In good voice and

:07:10.:07:13.

happy to be in one of world football's most remote locations.

:07:14.:07:18.

Manaus is making more of celebrating the World Cup than some bigger

:07:19.:07:24.

cities in the south. Can England and Italy now deliver a game to match

:07:25.:07:25.

the atmosphere? Our sports correspondent

:07:26.:07:30.

Nathalie Pirks is in Manaus. Natalie, how do England rate

:07:31.:07:32.

their chances tonight? Well, I think they are not as

:07:33.:07:43.

Brazil's manager was before the game when he said that the World Cup was

:07:44.:07:48.

theirs, but they have certainly been displaying confidence. In the press

:07:49.:07:51.

conferences leading up to this moment, the players have been saying

:07:52.:07:55.

that they do not fear Italy. In fact, they say, Italy should be

:07:56.:08:00.

fearing them. I do not think the press conference was any different.

:08:01.:08:02.

Italy are world champions four times. They were runners up in the

:08:03.:08:13.

Euros two years ago. One of the chief tormentors said that they want

:08:14.:08:18.

to go on and win this thing. Of course, they are a formidable

:08:19.:08:21.

opponent. England are very confident and it feels like we have been

:08:22.:08:24.

building up to this game for a long time, and now the moment is finally

:08:25.:08:31.

here. Natalie, thank you. Apologies for the break-up on the picture.

:08:32.:08:33.

The teenager Stephen Sutton, who raised millions of pounds for

:08:34.:08:36.

charity before he died from cancer, has been honoured with an MBE in

:08:37.:08:39.

Others recognised included the actors Daniel Day-Lewis and Angelina

:08:40.:08:45.

Stephen Sutton knew he was likely to die before his award was made

:08:46.:08:54.

His mother said the terminally ill teenager inspired

:08:55.:09:13.

people to give millions to the teenage Cancer trust had thought

:09:14.:09:15.

I'm delighted for Stephen's family and delighted for the community

:09:16.:09:20.

Things which are equal to the same thing...

:09:21.:09:24.

Daniel Day-Lewis has become a night, Angelina Jolie and honorary dame

:09:25.:09:27.

And Homeland star, Damian Lewis becomes an MBE.

:09:28.:09:34.

It feels premature, but it feels like an incentive.

:09:35.:09:42.

Tina Hughes' daughter and her best friend, Charlotte, were killed

:09:43.:09:46.

on a level crossing in 2005 and since then, she has successfully

:09:47.:09:49.

I know it is for me and I'm so delighted to have been given it but

:09:50.:10:02.

really I am accepting it on the half of the team of people behind me who

:10:03.:10:05.

have been so dedicated to making these changes and making level

:10:06.:10:10.

crossings safer. I am really proud. And she is typical of most of the

:10:11.:10:14.

names on the list. Individuals who are not in the public eye but who

:10:15.:10:17.

are being honoured for making the contribution to the community.

:10:18.:10:21.
