Iran offers to help Iraq and the United States in the battle against

:00:00.:00:12.

Sunni extremists. Iraq says the fightback has already begun as the

:00:13.:00:17.

United States orders an aircraft carrier and two warships in the

:00:18.:00:22.

Gulf. Ukraine's president vows to punish pro-Russian separatists who

:00:23.:00:26.

shot down a military plane, killing 49 people.

:00:27.:00:28.

England arrive for their opening World Cup game with Italy. We'll be

:00:29.:00:31.

live from Manaus. Good evening. Iran says it's willing

:00:32.:00:55.

to co-operate with the United States and to help the Iraqi government in

:00:56.:00:59.

its battle against Sunni extremists. President Hassan Rohani suggested he

:01:00.:01:03.

would be willing to work with Iran's traditional enemy to prevent ISIS

:01:04.:01:07.

militants from taking over Iraq. This evening the Pentagon ordered an

:01:08.:01:11.

aircraft carrier and two warships into the Gulf in case Washington

:01:12.:01:15.

decides to pursue military options. Fighters from ISIS have taken

:01:16.:01:19.

control of large parts of the north and west - including the cities of

:01:20.:01:23.

Mosul and Tikrit, but the Iraqi Prime Minister today

:01:24.:01:27.

said the fightback had already begun. From Irbil, our Correspondent

:01:28.:01:28.

Paul Wood reports. Iraqi helicopter gun ships hitting

:01:29.:01:38.

militant targets. Iraq's government is determined to reverse the

:01:39.:01:43.

humiliations of recent days. It says the fightback against ISIS has

:01:44.:01:53.

begun. Young men are rushing to join up. These are Shi'ites in Basra.

:01:54.:02:05.

Send us to fight, they chant. New recruits will arrive to help the

:02:06.:02:10.

security forces within hours, says the Prime Minister. This is the

:02:11.:02:14.

beginning of the end of ISIS, he says, we'll take back every inch

:02:15.:02:23.

defaced by those traitors. And Iran has said it may help. The president

:02:24.:02:30.

said his country even stood ready to cooperate with the old enemy, the

:02:31.:02:35.

United States. An American aircraft carrier is coming, in case

:02:36.:02:40.

Washington decides on military action. Fears of a wider war or

:02:41.:02:46.

fears of ISIS have driven a million people from their homes in Iraq,

:02:47.:02:54.

according to the UN. We're seeing a very serious threat to the

:02:55.:02:58.

sovereignty and integrity of this country. That threat needs to be

:02:59.:03:03.

dealt with. It cannot be dealt with only militarily, but it cannot be

:03:04.:03:08.

dealt with only politically because your opponent is a very determined

:03:09.:03:11.

organisation, group of people, who seek to destroy the state. All of

:03:12.:03:16.

the international efforts now are centred on putting pressure on the

:03:17.:03:22.

Shi'ite-led government in Baghdad to get it to a government of national

:03:23.:03:26.

unity, that, it's hoped, will take some of the force out of what is

:03:27.:03:30.

largely a Sunni tribal uprising. But ISIS would not be part of any deal.

:03:31.:03:35.

Here, the jihadis celebrate their latest gains. They will fight on.

:03:36.:03:42.

Iraq may need help from both Iran and the United States to stop them.

:03:43.:03:48.

Paul Wood reports. And Tony Blair will be discussing

:03:49.:03:51.

the crisis in Iraq on the Andrew Marr show on BBC One from 9am

:03:52.:03:53.

tomorrow morning. The Ukrainian government is vowing

:03:54.:03:59.

to retaliate, after a military transport plane was shot down by

:04:00.:04:02.

pro-Russian separatists, killing 49 people. The plane, which was

:04:03.:04:07.

carrying troops and equipment, was about to land at Luhansk airport. It

:04:08.:04:11.

is thought to be the biggest single loss of life suffered by government

:04:12.:04:15.

forces since the start of the conflict in east Ukraine. Daniel

:04:16.:04:16.

Sandford reports. The wreckage of the Ukrainian

:04:17.:04:27.

military transport plane knocked out of the sky at a government-held

:04:28.:04:33.

airfield in Luhansk this morning. None of the nine crew or 40 soldiers

:04:34.:04:37.

it was carrying survived. The Ukrainian dope fence ministry said

:04:38.:04:42.

it was destroyed by -- Defence Ministry said it was destroyed by

:04:43.:04:47.

terrorists. Armed men pouring over the remains, who want to break away

:04:48.:04:50.

and join Russia. It was easily the worst loss of life by Ukrainian

:04:51.:04:54.

forces in this conflict. The moment the plane was hit by the rebels was

:04:55.:04:59.

caught on a security camera. It then burst into flames and crashed to the

:05:00.:05:07.

ground. Tonight, furious young men were destroying cars and windows at

:05:08.:05:11.

the Russian embassy in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev. They have little

:05:12.:05:17.

doubt as to whom they blame for the deaths. It's an explosion of anger

:05:18.:05:21.

after weeks of frustration at what many people here in Kiev feel has

:05:22.:05:26.

been an invasion by Russia. There was shock this week, when three

:05:27.:05:31.

battle tanks turned up near Donetsk, clearly in the hands of the rebels.

:05:32.:05:36.

The United States said they'd been driven across the bored frer Russia.

:05:37.:05:40.

NATO backed this up today with satellite images, apparently showing

:05:41.:05:44.

the same tanks earlier that day still in Russia. The US Secretary of

:05:45.:05:49.

State, John Kerry, warned that the West would punish Moscow further if

:05:50.:05:56.

it failed to end the flow of weapons across the border. There was a rare

:05:57.:06:01.

success for the Ukrainian government yesterday, when loyal irregular

:06:02.:06:05.

forces took control back of the last rebel-held buildings in the port

:06:06.:06:10.

city of Mariupol, but every building is having to be fought for and the

:06:11.:06:15.

increasingly well armed, pro-Russia forces still control several large

:06:16.:06:20.

cities. Today, they even fought back in Mariupol, killing five border

:06:21.:06:21.

guards. Polls have closed in Afghanistan's

:06:22.:06:28.

run-off elections for a new president. Voters are choosing

:06:29.:06:32.

between a former foreign minister, Abdullah Abdullah, and Ashraf Ghani,

:06:33.:06:35.

the ex-finance minister. Both candidates have pledged to improve

:06:36.:06:39.

ties with the west and to fight corruption. Preliminary results are

:06:40.:06:40.

expected to be announced next month. The Chief Inspector of Prisons has

:06:41.:06:49.

warned that jails in England and Wales are so overcrowded there's a

:06:50.:06:52.

risk to prisoners and the public. Nick Hardwick accused ministers of a

:06:53.:06:57.

"political and policy failure". It comes after the government told

:06:58.:07:00.

40 prisons to find space for hundreds of extra inmates, in case

:07:01.:07:04.

of need over the summer. Our Political Correspondent Gary

:07:05.:07:05.

O'Donoghue has the details. The prisons in England and Wales are

:07:06.:07:15.

close to bursting point, with just a thousand places available. Now the

:07:16.:07:19.

Chief Inspector of Prisons says the strain on capacity and staff could

:07:20.:07:24.

lead it a long, hot summer of unrest. There are not, simply

:07:25.:07:30.

not-and-a-half staff on the wings supervising prisoners and not enough

:07:31.:07:34.

managers superprizing staff. As a consequence, you're seeing a

:07:35.:07:38.

critical situation in some At the prisons. Moment there are around

:07:39.:07:41.

85,500 people in praise anyone England and Wales. The compass --

:07:42.:07:46.

prisons in England and Wales. The capacity of all prisons is around

:07:47.:07:50.

86,500. That's why ministers have asked 40 jails to make a further 440

:07:51.:07:55.

places available. The problem with asking prisons to take more inmates

:07:56.:07:59.

is that already two thirds are overcrowded. Wandsworth here has

:08:00.:08:03.

almost 600 more inmates than it should. Ministers say they are

:08:04.:08:07.

creating 2,000 more long-term places by April next year and they insist

:08:08.:08:14.

there's not a crisis. Ten years ago, When the last Government went

:08:15.:08:17.

through this and they had to let prisoners out 18 days earlier to

:08:18.:08:22.

cope with the pressures. I'm not doing that. We will make

:08:23.:08:26.

preparations for a few hundred extra prisoners to share a cell for a few

:08:27.:08:30.

weeks until the new capacity opens. I don't think that's a big Private

:08:31.:08:34.

prisons problem. Are being asked to fit in another 600 inmates. They're

:08:35.:08:38.

even more overcrowded than those under direct public control.

:08:39.:08:42.

O'Donoghue has the details. With all the sport, here's

:08:43.:08:45.

Olly Foster who is at the World Cup in Rio de Janeiro.

:08:46.:08:48.

Three days into this World Cup, England finally get their tournament

:08:49.:08:55.

started. There are over -- they're over 1700 miles away from here in

:08:56.:08:59.

the heart of the Amazon. Around 3,000 England fans have made the

:09:00.:09:04.

journey for the match against Italy. Dan Roan reports from Manaus.

:09:05.:09:10.

It's an away fixture like no other. Match day morning in Manaus and

:09:11.:09:16.

England's intrepid fans take a walk along the Amazon. Few are expecting

:09:17.:09:19.

a stroll for their team against Italy here in the heat and humidity,

:09:20.:09:23.

but they're determined to enjoy their jungle adventure It's pretty

:09:24.:09:27.

amazing out here. For us, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to

:09:28.:09:31.

not just get to the World Cup, but get out to the Amazon. It's a crazy

:09:32.:09:36.

place. It's ridiculously hot at the moment. Both teams will struggle in

:09:37.:09:42.

it. It could be a 0-0 draw today. 0-0, he'll bring the youngsters on

:09:43.:09:46.

in the last 20 minutes and I think they'll score three. England got a

:09:47.:09:50.

first look at the stadium here last night and must now hope weeks of

:09:51.:09:54.

training have prepared them for the extreme conditions they'll face here

:09:55.:09:58.

in the rainforest. What I do know is that we've moved on. We've grown.

:09:59.:10:02.

We've improved. We've been together a lot longer. We've had two years to

:10:03.:10:06.

get used to what this manager wants. I think it's sunk in really well.

:10:07.:10:11.

England kept out of the sun today, confined to their hotel. But now

:10:12.:10:15.

comes a defining moment for the team and manager. It's a massive

:10:16.:10:19.

barometer of how far this team has come. I think since he took the job

:10:20.:10:24.

for the euros, two years ago, I think he's evolved the team. He's

:10:25.:10:27.

brought in young players. This is the biggest test that this group of

:10:28.:10:35.

players have got. This maybe unchated territory for England,

:10:36.:10:38.

despite the remoteness of the location, support, as ever, is no

:10:39.:10:43.

problem. In the last hour, the squad arrived here. They and their fans

:10:44.:10:46.

have had to come a long way and the heat is about to be turned up on a

:10:47.:10:51.

team with plenty to prove. We can speak to Dan now in Manaus.

:10:52.:10:56.

Not long to go, Dan, Roy Hodgson has made a very bold choice in his

:10:57.:11:02.

starting 11. He has. We assumed England would be happy with a draw

:11:03.:11:05.

against Italy tonight. It looks like they're going for the win. They've

:11:06.:11:12.

selected Raheem Sterling. It's a choice that will delight the many,

:11:13.:11:17.

who wanted to see more positivity from this side. He's forced his way

:11:18.:11:22.

into Roy Hodgson's team. Such has been his form for Liverpool this

:11:23.:11:25.

season. The manager will hope that he can get at what is an ageing

:11:26.:11:30.

Italian side, who, by the way, already without their goalkeeper and

:11:31.:11:34.

captain. Ever since the draw was made there's been trepidation

:11:35.:11:39.

surrounding this game, this young, untested squad at this level, can

:11:40.:11:45.

they hand the the pressure -- handle the pressure, can they deal with the

:11:46.:11:49.

heat? Well, very shortly, we'll find out. Dan Roan in Manaus. Many thanks

:11:50.:11:56.

indeed. We've had two matches today. Colombia beat Greece 3-0 in Group C.

:11:57.:12:00.

We have had a major shock in England's group. Uruguay were beaten

:12:01.:12:04.

by kofta reekament they led at halftime, but the Costa Ricans who

:12:05.:12:09.

were expected to be the group whipping boys hit back to win 3-1.

:12:10.:12:18.

Let's move away from the World Cup for now. It's been a big day of

:12:19.:12:22.

international Rugby Union. Wales were outclassed by South Africa.

:12:23.:12:25.

Ireland won their Test series in Argentinament Scotland beat Canada,

:12:26.:12:29.

but England lost the series against New Zealand, after a nail-biting

:12:30.:12:33.

defeat. The All Blacks winning the second Test there 28-27.

:12:34.:12:41.

Both stood by the return of their biggest stars and the promise of

:12:42.:12:44.

last week's performance, England knew they needed to win this Test to

:12:45.:12:48.

keep the series alive. They started with intent and intensity.

:12:49.:12:56.

England dived over seven minutes in. England had more chances in a

:12:57.:13:03.

breathless first half. The second half, though, belonged to the All

:13:04.:13:07.

Blacks. Ben Smith ran it home just three minutes after the restart and

:13:08.:13:15.

a try from Julian Surveyor tightened the screw. Owen Farrell was

:13:16.:13:20.

sin-binned, perhaps harshly and they danced through the stretched England

:13:21.:13:26.

defence. With Farrell back on the pitch, Mike Brown went over for

:13:27.:13:30.

England. The trade mark celebration lacked its usual gusto. They

:13:31.:13:35.

finished a point behind, another reminder to England, why the All

:13:36.:13:40.

Blacks are the best in the world. It wasn't so close in Durban, where

:13:41.:13:44.

Wales were beaten 38-16 by South Africa. They were outrun and out

:13:45.:13:54.

witted. There were five tries for the home side. It ended more

:13:55.:13:59.

positively for the visitors, though. The Springboks falling in Alex

:14:00.:14:02.

Cuthbert's wake. Cricket now and England have the

:14:03.:14:10.

edge at Lord's in the first Test. Sri Lanka closed on 415-7, 160 runs

:14:11.:14:15.

behind England's first innings total, but the third day belonged to

:14:16.:14:20.

Kumar Sangakkara, who achieved a personal milestone.

:14:21.:14:26.

No-one expected rain on Saturday morning at Lord's. Moments of

:14:27.:14:32.

surprise came through the day. Sri Lanka's three and four are numbers

:14:33.:14:36.

six and eight in the all-time list of Test run scorers. Kumar

:14:37.:14:43.

Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene. It's 14 years since Kumar

:14:44.:14:50.

Sangakkara's debut. Now he finally achieved an ambition, his first Test

:14:51.:14:54.

century at Lord's. The next wicket seemed a mile away until Broad got

:14:55.:15:01.

Mahela Jayawardene LBW. England sensed an opener. Another wicket

:15:02.:15:09.

followed quickly. 289-4. Getting rid of Sangakkara was another matter.

:15:10.:15:12.

It's a task which has puzzled a great many bowlers over the years.

:15:13.:15:21.

England's attack is very new. Ali dismissed Sangakkara for 147, quite

:15:22.:15:25.

a first wicket in Test cricket. Late joy followed in the early evening

:15:26.:15:29.

sun, all England's wickets were hard won.

:15:30.:15:35.

That's almost it from here. Let me just quickly show you what's

:15:36.:15:39.

happening down on the beach. What you're seeing down there is an

:15:40.:15:43.

enormous fan zone, thousands waiting for the start this afternoon

:15:44.:15:46.

England-Italy match on the big screen. That's one place to watch

:15:47.:15:50.

it. Another is on BBC One, straight after the news. From here in Rio de

:15:51.:15:56.

Janeiro, that's all your sport. You can see more on all of today's

:15:57.:16:00.

stories on the BBC News channel. That's all from me though, good

:16:01.:16:02.

night. Good evening. Pressure is not only

:16:03.:16:16.

building pitchside, but weather-wise in the UK, high pressure dominates

:16:17.:16:20.

the charts through the week ahead, meaning a lot of dry and settled

:16:21.:16:24.

weather to come. There's sunshine at times, allowing it to feel warm out

:16:25.:16:27.

there. The odd shower can't be ruled

:16:28.:16:28.
