Pictures emerge in Iraq appearing to show ISIS forces capturing | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
and then killing Iraqi troops. The images cannot be independently | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
verified, but with ISIS now in control of large areas of Iraq, | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
Whatever form of intervention we choose, | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
it's going to be difficult, but it's better than the alternative. | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
David Cameron says its time to be more assertive | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
about promoting British values and demand them of everyone in the UK. | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
With three teenagers still missing in Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
accuses the militant group Hamas of abducting them. | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
And the ecstasy and the agony as England lose their World Cup | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
The former Prime Minster Tony Blair says Britain and the United States | :00:49. | :01:14. | |
should intervene to tackle the crisis in Iraq. | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
He says military action - possibly in the form of air strikes | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
- might be required to defeat ISIS extremists who have taken control | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
of several key areas and are threatening the capital Baghdad. | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
Unverified photographs have emerged online, appearing to show | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
the execution of dozens of Iraqi troops captured by ISIS fighters. | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
From Baghdad, Jonathan Beale sent this report, which includes | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
These are the latest images purporting to come from the front | :01:40. | :01:52. | |
line. Scores of men, reportedly captured Iraqi troop 's, rounded up | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
onto trucks on their way to be executed by Sunni extremists. The | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
pictures were posted on an ISIS Twitter account. A spokesman said | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
nearly 300 men were slaughtered by two crit, but we cannot verify the | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
claim. In Baghdad, hundreds are still signing up to join the Iraqi | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
army to take on the Sunni extremists. Young and old, even a | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
mother of two sons already in the Army. She says she wants to enlist | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
as well. It's over a decade since Tony Blair backed George Bush's | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
invasion of Iraq to topple Saddam Hussein. The former Prime Minister | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
is still making no apologies for that decision. There is an | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
acknowledgement that mistakes were made. What we underestimated about | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
Iraq, Afghanistan and the whole of the region is that once you remove | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
the dictatorship outcomes this tribal, ethnic and above all | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
religious tension. And then you are engaged in a different type of | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
struggle against that. Others are convinced it was the Iraq war that | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
sowed the seeds is of the chaos, violence and fear now tearing this | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
country apart. If, in Syria and Iraq, there is a Sunni extremist | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
entity, with ISIS in charge, which carves out a place for itself, it | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
will be the great irony of the modern era. President Bush said he | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
wanted to go into Iraq to fight terrorism. There was no terrorists. | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
There are now. Iraqi forces, with the help of militia, appear to have | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
slowed down the advice of the ISIS extremists, who have been helped by | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
disillusioned Sunnis. Tony Blair still believes the West will have to | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
step in. Intervention is tough. Partial intervention is tough. | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
Nonintervention is also tough. The best policy for us is to realise | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
whatever form of intervention we choose, it is going to be difficult, | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
but it's better than the alternative. We have to look at | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Syria, Iraq and the region in context. We have to understand what | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
is going on and engage. That doesn't mean, by the way, engagement as in | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
Iraq and Afghanistan, ground troops. But it does mean we actively try to | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
shape this situation with our allies in the region and don't believe if | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
we wash our hands of it, and walk away, problems will be solved. On | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
the streets of Baghdad, Shia militia seemed less interested in shaping | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
the politics of the Middle East. They are thinking more about | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
revenge. Shia militia are now openly patrolling the streets of Baghdad. | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
The lines between the Iraqi army had this checkpoint and the militia are | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
becoming extremely blurred. The danger for Iraq is that this will | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
only deepen the sectarian divide. Any Western military intervention | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
will be hard to sell back home, given the bitter experience of the | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
past. Nor is there any guarantee that it will help bridge the divide | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
in Iraq the Queen Sunni and Shia. -- between Sunni and Shia. John Simson | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
is in Baghdad. Tony Blair, so is closely associated with Iraq in | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
recent years. What do you make of what he had to say? Cull of course, | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
people June into what Tony Blair is saying because they are hoping he | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
will say sorry for 2003. He never does. This is clearly another | :05:19. | :05:28. | |
element of his defence, as well as casting it forward and looking at | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
the situation. I should say, just as we came on air, a minute or so ago, | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
there was quite a large... Sounded like a car bomb, not far away. That | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
is the second there has been today in Baghdad. As for Tony Blair's | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
views about things, well, nobody is ever going to agree about the causes | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
of what is happening now. Except that when he says that the reason | :05:52. | :06:00. | |
for the rise in Sunni fundamentalism here is the way that the present | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
government in Iraq has been behaving, that is to say pro-Shia | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
and anti-Sunni, he is right about that. But the thing is, it is mostly | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
about rhetoric, rather than about politics. It also seems likely that | :06:16. | :06:23. | |
he is right that the Americans will do something, will intervene in some | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
way. Not with soldiers on the ground, of course, but with bombing | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
of some kind. But that has its dangers as well. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
Johnson sent, our world affairs editor. | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
David Cameron has been defending his plan to have "British values" | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
taught in every school in England, saying that a more muscular | :06:43. | :06:43. | |
promotion of them is needed. His plan is a response to | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
allegations about an Islamist Today, the newly appointed head | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
of the Muslim Council of Britain broadly welcomed the | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
Prime Minister's move, but said asserting Britishness should not be | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
used as an excuse for Islamophobia. Our Political Correspondent Gary | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
O'Donoghue reports. Trooping the Colour this weekend. | :06:58. | :07:10. | |
For many, the ultimate in pomp and circumstance. A tradition dating | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
back to the 17th century, that you might say symbolises what it means | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
to be British. But despite such displays, the Prime Minister | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
believes it is time to be more muscular in promoting British | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
values. In a newspaper article, he says those values include a belief | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
in freedom, tolerance of others, accepting personal and social | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
responsibility, respecting and upholding the rule of law. He added, | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
to me, they are as British as the union flag, as football, as fish and | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
chips. In East London today, the Muslim Council of written, which | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
represents more than 500 groups around the country, passed a motion | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
saying it had deep concerns about the tone and tenor of the debate on | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
British values. Their new head was more conciliatory. I think what is | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
important is that these values are not seen through a prism of | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
Islamophobia or anything. These are values that we all need to work | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
together and exercise. Outside the conference centre, there was limited | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
agreement over David Cameron's views. I suppose British people are | :08:22. | :08:30. | |
very self-deprecating. We do tend to be quite down on ourselves. What do | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
you think? With the World Cup on at the moment, I'm seeing a lot of | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
negative sides to being British at the moment. The debate is | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
particularly charged after allegations of a hardline plot by | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
Muslims to take over some schools in Birmingham. Five have been put into | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
special measures. Ministers say all schools in England will be required | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
to teach British values from the autumn. It is a small group of | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
Muslims that have done this. Therefore, nobody should vilify the | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
whole Muslim community. What we have to do, what I am trying to do, it's | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
target those small groups of individuals and make sure they | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
respect each other. The quintessential images of Britain are | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
easy to agree on. Finding common ground on tricky things like values | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
will be much harder. Israel has accused the Palestinian | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
militant group Hamas of kidnapping three teenagers who've been missing | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
for the last three days. About 80 Palestinians, including | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
dozens of members of Hamas, have been arrested during searches | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
in and around the West Bank. Hamas has praised the kidnapping, | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
but denied it is responsible. Our Middle East Correspondent | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
Quentin Sommerville reports. Israeli soldiers, pouring into the | :09:35. | :09:48. | |
occupied West Bank in the hunt for three missing teenagers. Israel says | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
the boys have been kidnapped. 80 Palestinians were detained. The | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
missing are 19-year-old Eyal Yifrach, Naftali Frenkel and Gilad | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
Shaar, both 16. Like many people here, the teenagers were hitchhiking | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
home. It is thought they might have got into a car somewhere around | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
here. This was the last spot where they were seen. That was three days | :10:12. | :10:20. | |
ago. As the search continued, Eyal Yifrach's mother appealed for their | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
quick return. We trust that boys coming home, on their way from | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
school, just an their way home, they will be with us here and we will hug | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
them soon. But this is quickly escalating into a political crisis. | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
Israel's Prime Minister says that militants were to blame. These | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
children were kidnapped and the kidnapping was carried out by Hamas | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
members. Hamas denials do not change this fact. Hamas previously | :10:55. | :11:02. | |
kidnapped aqua-dam up. He was held for five years and then released. | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
But the group denies kidnapping the teenagers. A Starbucks and said, the | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
statements are silly statements. We believe the extensive arrests of | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
Hamas leaders, administrators and legislators are aimed at breaking | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
the will of Hamas in the West Bank. Tensions are increasing. | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
Israeli-Palestinian relations may hinge on the safe return of three | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
missing teenagers. The authorities in Pakistan say | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
a comprehensive military operation is underway to target militants | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
blamed for the attack on Karachi Civilians have been fleeing | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
Waziristan, close to the Afghan border, where | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
air strikes have been taking place. Pakistan says 80 militants have been | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
killed so far, including an Uzbek man accused | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
of masterminding the airport attack, Ukraine is holding a day | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
of mourning for 49 servicemen killed when their plane was shot down by | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
pro-Russian separatists yesterday. A gathering in Independence Square | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
in Kiev observed a minute's silence. The shooting down | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
of the plane has raised tensions with Russia, with the Russian | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
embassy in Kiev attacked. Moscow has criticised the Ukrainian | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
authorities for failing to stop The England manager says he's | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
confident the team can still qualify for the knock out stages | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
of the World Cup despite their 2-1 Roy Hodgson said England put | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
on an attacking and confident display and were gutted to return to | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
their base in Rio with nothing. Let's cross there now | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
for the latest with Olly Foster. Well, England's players have been | :12:31. | :12:44. | |
given the day off after arriving back here. Some gentle recovery work | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
for them after their exertions in the Amazon and a four hour-long | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
overnight flight. Yes, there were positives, but crucially no points | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
for them. England had a four-hour flight back | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
to their base in Rio to try and comprehend just how a | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
performance full of vim and vigour In the sultry heat of the jungle, | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
the Three Lions needed to roar. Like the temperature, England's | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
pace from the off was blistering. Roy Hodgson's bold inclusion | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
of Liverpool's fearless teenager, Raheem Sterling, almost paid | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
off inside just four minutes. But it only takes one moment, | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
and this Italian corner was straight The peerless Pirlo cleverly | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
leading the ball to Marchisio. Just two minutes later came | :13:24. | :13:37. | |
the equaliser. Wayne Rooney have been largely | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
ineffectual, stuck out wide. But his fizzing cross to | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
Daniel Sturridge got a nation In Rio, those that couldn't get to | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
the Amazon Even the Brazilian crowd cheering | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
for Italy must have appreciated But for head physio Gary Lewin, | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
there was pain in the pleasure. He dislocated his ankle | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
during the celebrations The mercurial Mario Balotelli is | :14:02. | :14:02. | |
well-known to England's defenders but when Gary Cahill failed to track | :14:03. | :14:11. | |
him, he gave Joe Hart no chance. Rooney was just inches wide | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
from scoring But Hodgson's anguish summed up | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
the thoughts of a watching nation. But you've got to give Italy credit, | :14:20. | :14:31. | |
it goes to show how good they are, the standard | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
of players they possess. If we match that performance | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
in the next two games, we'll get six points and come out of | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
the group. The day following a World Cup defeat | :14:39. | :14:49. | |
is usually punctuated with the sound of despair. But many pundits agree | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
with a cause for optimism. I actually enjoyed it, I thought the | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
substitutions were positive. We wanted to get a result, he probably | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
believes he deserved a result, which I think he probably dead. England | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
rolled the dice, but the bold gamble ultimately didn't pay off. After | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
Uruguay also lost, their game against England could now be win or | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
bust for Roy Hodgson's men. As you saw, thousands of fans on the | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
beach watching the match on the big screen. Millions back home were | :15:23. | :15:23. | |
glued to the game as well. Watching England on | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
the telly means going from this... Every World Cup, | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
a descent into disappointment. But in this corner of West London, | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
they are still in love with England. They went out there | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
and they gave their all. You know? | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
It just weren't to be. But I'm still confident, I still | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
think we'll get through the group. United in excitement by the | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
performance, there are disagreements | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
about the way forward. Put Rooney back where he should be | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
playing and you watch him score. Of course, there is another form | :15:56. | :16:04. | |
of Sunday World Cup reaction. How does that feel, | :16:05. | :16:12. | |
being an Italian fan with so much England support around | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
you? Well, it was the first | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
time for me, to watch a match of the World Cup in | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
a foreign country. But it was nice, because | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
everybody is really friendly. In Leeds, at Francesco Mazella's | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
restaurant, Sunday lunch But there is diplomacy amongst | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
the linguine. On the night, | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
I think the best team won. But I think England played a nice | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
game. But I was really happy | :16:43. | :16:43. | |
when the second goal came. I think Balotelli put | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
a nice icing on the cake. Well, the twists in the pasta may | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
be many in the days to come. In Acton, Mr Hodgson, they will | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
be keeping the flags flying. There are three more matches today, | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
France face Honduras in the next hour Argentina play | :16:58. | :17:06. | |
Bosnia Herzegovina here in Rio later this evening, | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
It's currently Switzerland 0. Ivory Coast came from a goal | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
down to beat Japan 2-1. England's | :17:18. | :17:27. | |
cricketer's have been losing wickets at Lords in the First Test | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
against Sri Lanka. They were defending a first innings | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
lead of 122 runs and their former star batsmen was there to see how | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
they would fare on the fourth day - not very well, captain | :17:36. | :17:49. | |
Alastair Cook was caught behind off Eranga for 28 and despite his double | :17:50. | :17:52. | |

Arboretum in Staffordshire, from where our Defence Correspondent | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
Caroline Wyatt reports. Gillian Molyneux | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
and her four children, aged from six to 16, came here today | :18:24. | :18:25. | |
to remember her late husband, their I think about him every minute, | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
every day. The lieutenant commander was shot | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
dead on his submarine, HMS Astute, We make a concerted effort to come | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
at least once a year, if not more. With it being Father's Day today, | :18:37. | :18:47. | |
it's extremely poignant for us. But it's nice for | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
the children to be able to remember not just the sombre moments, | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
not just about the fact that he is gone, but to recognise his service | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
and everything that was wonderful. At midday, | :18:58. | :19:08. | |
the new memorial was dedicated in thanks giving to the men and women | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
of the Royal Navy who laid down then I think, in that sense, | :19:11. | :19:21. | |
it's an absolutely fitting tribute to the Navy's contribution to | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
our history and our heritage. The lone sculpted figure | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
