More than 100 people are killed in Iraq's deadliest day for a year, | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
A truck bomb exploded in the heart of a shopping district | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
200 people have been injured in an atrocity claimed | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
Here, I think there was a vehicle bomb. | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Over there, they are saying it was a man with a suicide belt. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
Clearly, though, massive explosions designed to cause as much | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
We'll be live in Baghdad after an attack days before | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
the Chilcot report into the Iraq war is released. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
The front runner for Conservative leader, Theresa May, | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
says there needs to be a proper contest between the rival candidates | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
A helping hand for Jeremy Corbyn from a major union boss, | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
who says the Labour leader is the victim of a "failed coup". | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
And goals galore from France tonight mean the Euro 2016 dream is very | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Iraq has suffered its worst day of violence for a year, | :01:01. | :01:29. | |
with nearly 120 people killed in suicide attacks targeting | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
In one, a truck bomb went off in a busy district, badly damaging | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
a shopping centre which was packed with families at the time. | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
200 people were injured, with so-called Islamic State | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Our Middle East Editor, Jeremy Bowen, saw the aftermath | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
of the attack first-hand and sent this report from Baghdad. | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
The bombs and the fires consumed so many lives. | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
It's supposed to be a sacred and festive season. | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
The last few days of the holy month of Ramadan. | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
The streets were full and the shops were open. | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
This was the so-called Islamic State's latest gift | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
The people who gathered there during the day | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
were furious that the jihadists of so-called Islamic State seemed | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
So when the Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi, came to inspect | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
the damage and pay his respects, they forced him | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
He says that Iraqis are like sheep among wolves, everyone | :02:40. | :02:55. | |
We don't have any security, any real security in Iraq. | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
Yes, we have a lot of police, a lot of army but we | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
All of the Iraqi people, not just me, all the Iraqi people, | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
Islamic State, Sunni extremists, said they were | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
Sectarian wars started in the chaos and violence that was unleashed | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
by the American and British invasion of Iraq in 2003. | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
It still continues and it's about power more than religion. | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
A main reason why IS attacked was the defeat they just | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
It means they've lost a stronghold less than an hour's | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
All the destruction and killing add up to a clear message | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
from the jihadists of so-called Islamic State. | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
They may be defeated on the battlefield, | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
but they are still able to hit back where it hurts most, | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
by killing civilians in the heart of this capital city | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
And the fear has to be that as they come under | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
more military pressure, perhaps lose more ground, | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
that there will be more attacks like this. | :04:18. | :04:29. | |
After dark, hundreds gathered at the bomb site | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
Some attempted defiance in an atmosphere that | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Young men were still searching for human remains | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
Iraq has not had a day of real peace since the Americans, | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
the British and their allies invaded in 2003. | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
This week, Britain publishes its official enquiry into what happened. | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
Plenty of Iraqis have already made up their minds, that the invasion | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
and occupation pushed them into an agony without an end. | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
Tonight, in this city, after 13 years of war, | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
there are many tears, but not much hope. | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
And Jeremy's with us now live from Baghdad. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
We're days away from the release of the Chilcot report. | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
How much of this violence can be traced back to that? | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
I think there is a direct connection with the invasion and its aftermath. | :05:30. | :05:39. | |
Not many Iraqis had a problem with removing Saddam Hussein, he was a | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
brutal dictator, the difficulty started with what happened | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
afterwards. The Americans and British didn't have a good plan | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
about what to do. Rashly, the Army -- the army was dissolved and | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
leading members of middle management were sacked, so law and order | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
collapsed and so did the state. Into the vortex of violence that | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
followed, there were not enough troops on the coalition side to | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
control the country, jihadists came in, started Al-Qaeda affiliate here, | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
which is now called Islamic State, and out of that came a Victorian -- | :06:14. | :06:21. | |
sectarian civil war. Lots of people contributed to that, including | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
Iraqis, also Iran, but what I would say, and there is a lot of evidence | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
for this, is that the invasion set off a chain of circumstances that | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
led through all that is what we have today. | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
The Conservative Party leadership contender Theresa May has dismissed | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
calls for other candidates to stand aside, saying she wants, "A contest, | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
Mrs May - who is said to have the support of more | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
than 100 Tory MPs - has reaffirmed her belief | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
that there should be no General Election before 2020 | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
Our correspondent Ben Wright has been gauging opinion | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
among Conservative Party members in Buckinghamshire. | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
On the surface, this stretch of Conservative England appears | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
serene, a world away from the summer's | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
But in a Buckinghamshire garden this afternoon, | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
The key thing we need at the moment is leadership | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
and a statesman and, you know, that's the kind | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
of thing that's going to drive our party forwards. | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
Members of the Beaconsfield Conservative Association have a big | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
I think she would be good on the world platform. | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
They are weighing up Theresa May, one of the five Tory | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
leadership candidates and the current favourite. | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
Today, the Home Secretary said that if she won, she would not | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
We have got this huge issue of negotiating the Brexit. | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
We've got the concerns about stability and the economy | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
And I think it we were to have an early general election it | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
would introduce another destabilising factor. | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
I don't think that would be good for the economy, | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
I don't think it would be good for people and their jobs. | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Theresa May campaigned for Britain to stay in the EU, | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
unlike Michael Gove, who clawed his way into the race | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
after abandoning his former Leave campaign ally, | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
Boris Johnson, the man he had recommended as | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
I took the decision very late on Wednesday evening. | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
I reflected on it, I woke up early in the morning... | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
I decided that I could not in conscience make that recommendation. | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
But it's Tory party members, around 140,000 of them, | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
who will choose between the two candidates short-listed | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
Gove has now, as far as I'm concerned, shot himself in the foot. | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
That's the end of him as far as I'm concerned. | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
I think she's a good, level-headed person. | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
That's something these days in the Conservative Party! | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
But I also found fans of Andrea Leadsom, who campaigned | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
She knows the City, she knows what needs to be done. | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
And I think she's a woman with conviction. | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
Today, Mrs Leadsom tried to brush off remarks she made three years ago | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
in which she said leaving the EU would be a disaster for our economy. | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
But in the referendum she campaigned strongly for Brexit. | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
One reason, David Cameron's attempt at reform. | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
When the Prime Minister came back with his reform, with his | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
re-negotiation, with the certainty of a referendum behind it, | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
lending power to his elbow, it was very clear that the EU | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
So that speech was April 2013 and things have so moved on. | :09:35. | :09:44. | |
Andrea Leadsom also said triggering the formal two-year divorce process | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
between Britain and the EU should happen quickly. | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
But today, Tony Blair said informal talks with the EU were needed now | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
and the UK should be able to reconsider its decision to leave. | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
If, as we start to see the details emerge of what this new world | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
we are going into looks like, what are the practical effects, | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
The country should carry on being engaged in this debate. | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
It should carry on expressing its view. | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
If, for example, the will of the people shifts, | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
But all the Tory leadership candidates insist | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
These are some of the people who will pick the next Conservative | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
There is disagreement here over who that person should be. | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
But everybody recognises the next Prime Minister's got a really tough | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
job uniting the party but also the country. | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
Ben Wright, BBC News, Taplow in Buckinghamshire. | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
Meanwhile, Labour's leadership divisions continue, with the Former | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
Deputy Prime Minister Lord Prescott warning today that they | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
Former leader Neil Kinnock said today that Jeremy Corbyn's lack | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
of support from his own MPs was a breach of Labour's rules, | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
but the general secretary of the Unite union said the attempt | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
Our political correspondent Chris Mason reports. | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
Mr Corbyn, surely you can stop and spare 30 seconds | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
Jeremy Corbyn is struggling to give the impression that he's | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
How long can you really stay, Mr Corbyn, when 80% | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
Mr Corbyn says he is willing to reach out to those Labour MPs. | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
The leader of the country's biggest trade union, which represents | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
nearly 1.5 million people, remains unflinching in his support. | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
This has been a political lynching of a decent man, | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
undermined, humiliated, attacked, in order to push him out. | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
Among those wanting Jeremy Corbyn to go, | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
the former Labour leader, Lord Kinnock. | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
He claimed today Labour's rules meant that Mr Corbyn couldn't run | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
for the top job again if he faces a challenge. | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
Let me read, this is very tiresome, I know. | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
"Any nomination must be supported by 20% of the combined Commons | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
members of the Parliamentary Labour Party and members | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
of the European Parliamentary Labour Party. | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
Nominations not attaining this threshold shall be null and void." | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
But Mr Corbyn's team insist he could stand again. | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
Meanwhile I've been sent this dossier by a recently-resigned | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
Shadow Cabinet minister, attempting to highlight how support | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
for the party leader is slipping away amongst some ordinary members. | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
However much support Jeremy Corbyn has, this Labour voter is worried. | :12:35. | :12:46. | |
Can we avoid the disaster we are heading to, the talk of civil | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
Rarely can a major British political party be accurately described to be | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
These are painful times for Jeremy Corbyn and his party. | :12:59. | :13:08. | |
George Osborne's outlined plans to cut corporation tax from 20% | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
to below 15% in an effort to encourage businesses | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
put off by the current economic uncertainty. | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
The Chancellor told the Financial Times that the country | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
faced a very challenging time in the wake of the EU referendum. | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
The proposed cut would give the UK one of the lowest rates | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
of corporation tax of any major economy. | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
Officials in Bangladesh say the attack in the capital, Dhaka, | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
which killed 20 people, was not carried out | :13:39. | :13:39. | |
A government minister said the gunmen were home-grown | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
militants, well-educated and from well-off families. | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
The victims were mainly foreigners, including Italian, Japanese | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
Now the sport, which comes live from Paris with | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
The Euro 2016 semifinal line-up is now complete. | :13:59. | :14:07. | |
We'll hear from the Wales camp in just a moment, but the last | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
of the quarter-finals was at the Stade de | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
Remember, Iceland embarrassed England in the last | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
round but they were humbled by the hosts, France winning 5-2, | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
No one expected Iceland to still be here by now. This is France's party, | :14:20. | :14:39. | |
and the tournament's surprised team now in danger of overstaying their | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
host's welcome. Having beaten, Iceland have earned their place but | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
there was to be no more French hospitality. 1-0 France kicks is | :14:48. | :14:56. | |
that eased anxieties, Paul Pogba but minds firmly at rest. Iceland | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
showing little of the fortitude that had seen them early months of | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
environment -- and many admirers. Dimitri Payet continuing to show why | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
he is one of the best. France hiding their form, and they had found a | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
fourth by the break. For Iceland, therefore fortune had run out. | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
Pulling a goal back, but any glimmer of excitement was gone with France's | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
fifth. Iceland has added plenty to this tournament, here adding the | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
final word, but the hosts making it clear it was time for them to go | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
home. Iceland and their supporters have | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
certainly enriched this tournament, Our correspondent Matthew Price | :15:35. | :15:35. | |
was watching in Reykjavik. A big defeat, but two goals to cheer | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
and they must still be very Pride is what everybody is | :15:39. | :15:54. | |
expressing here, Lee, and one man even said, we were winners tonight | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
not through the scoreline but what we achieved in the tournament. This | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
still behind me was earlier packed with possibly as many as 30,000 | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
people watching the game on a big screen. Their enthusiasm didn't | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
waver through the game. They stayed to the end and they really believed | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
in their team. As you heard in that report, Iceland were not fancied to | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
get far in this tournament near the beginning, this volcanic rock in the | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
middle of the North Atlantic where the sun practically shines | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
throughout the night at this time of year, but they did go on, they beat | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
England, they played France in the quarterfinals and now they are | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
looking to the future, here tomorrow when the team comeback, which will | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
be congratulations to the team, a celebration, and then they look | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
forward to the next World Cup qualifiers in September begin with | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
that team who has done so well in this tournament. | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
France will face the world champions Germany in Marseille on Thursday, | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
but on Wednesday in Lyon it's a first semifinal at a major | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
After beating Belgium, they are back at their training base | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
in Brittany preparing for a match that will see the two | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
Real Madrid superstars go head to head, Gareth Bale | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
against Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo. | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
I don't suppose that there will be any love lost | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
on the evening between both teams, not just Gareth and Cristiano. | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
Both teams will know what's at stake. | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
So any friendship will have to wait until after the game. | :17:25. | :17:35. | |
It's us against them. Again, our report would be the same. It won't | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
change. We've had rain on the fourth | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
Sunday here at Euro 2016. Because of the bad weather over | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
the past week at Wimbledon, we had play on a middle Sunday | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
for only the fourth time David Ornstein reports | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
from the All England Club. At Wimbledon, the work never stops, | :17:52. | :18:00. | |
but playing on middle Sunday is rare. Not that the public care. | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
22,000 tickets sold in 27 minutes. The star attraction was Serena | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
Williams. Her opponent, Annika Beck, is a fine prospect but inside an | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
hour she'd experienced what the six time champion and do to you. | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
Wimbledon was still coming to terms with the loss of top seed Novak | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
Djokovic, knocked out by Sam Querrey yesterday, the biggest shock so far. | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
That defeat for Djokovic has blown the men's draw wide open. In theory, | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
it means Andy Murray becomes the new favourite, but he insists he is | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
taking nothing for granted. And rightly so, even he will play the | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
unpredictable Nick Kyrgios next, after his win against Feliciano | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
Lopez today. If Murray can cut Nick Kyrgios out of the picture, he will | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
be a step closer to a second Wimbledon title. | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
Formula One, and Lewis Hamilton has closed the gap on his teammate | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
and championship leader Nico Rosberg to 11 points after winning | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
The Hollywood director Michael Cimino, whose film | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
The Deer Hunter won five Oscars, has died at the age of 77. | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
The movie about the Vietnam war, starring Robert de Niro | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
and Meryl Streep, is widely regarded as a masterpiece. | :19:14. | :19:15. | |
But his next film, the western Heaven's Gate, went down as one | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
Nick Higham looks back at the highs and lows of Michael Cimino's career. | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
The Deer Hunter, Michael Cimino's finest film. | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
An epic tale of war Vietnam and a | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
with a starry cast and a poignant theme tune. | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
Few films captured so well the trauma of America's | :19:40. | :19:49. | |
The director's style could be unorthodox. | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
On paper, there were great blank spaces. | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
I said, what am I supposed to say here? | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
He said, you know, say what you think she would say. | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
I quite like that when they say that. | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
Earlier, he'd written and directed this, a road movie, | :20:14. | :20:25. | |
thriller starring Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges. | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
It should have been the start of a great career. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
A sprawling western, it took a year to shoot and cost | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
They'd given the director near total freedom to make a masterpiece. | :20:39. | :20:47. | |
He had sets replaced because he didn't | :20:48. | :20:48. | |
The shoot took ages, the budget spiralled | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
and it was inevitable that it was going to lose money. | :20:53. | :20:54. | |
Plus, in America, it came out and they didn't like it. | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
The film became a byword for a director's self-indulgence. | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
Cimino's reputation never recovered and the studio, | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
But that, said Cimino later, wasn't his fault. | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
What's never mentioned is all the hundreds of millions | :21:11. | :21:12. | |
of dollars expended on movies which never saw the light of day, | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
which is still really became a leading interest, | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
-- still really accumulating interest. | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
which stayed on the shelf, never got released. | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
He made four more rather forgettable films | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
and critics later decided Heaven's Gate wasn't so bad after all. | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
He was fated at the Cannes Film Festival. | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
By now rendered unrecognisable by plastic surgery. | :21:43. | :21:43. | |
But only The Deer Hunter remained an acknowledged masterpiece. | :21:44. | :21:53. |
