The US Defence Secretary, Ash Carter, has arrived in Iraq

:00:19.:00:30.

to monitor progress in the battle to retake Mosul

:00:31.:00:32.

Reinforcements are also being sent to Kirkuk,

:00:33.:00:35.

which came under attack by IS yesterday.

:00:36.:00:37.

Our correspondent, Jonny Dymond, has this report.

:00:38.:00:44.

If anyone thought taking no soul from INS would be easy, they were

:00:45.:00:53.

wrong. -- taking Mosul from IS. Today, Turkish forces battled to the

:00:54.:00:58.

north and east of the city, trying to take Islamic state forces. The

:00:59.:01:05.

battle is in its sixth day. The city and its surrounding area have been

:01:06.:01:10.

controlled by Islamic State for more than two years. Kurdish Peshmerga

:01:11.:01:13.

are pushing in from the north and east. Iraqi army units are moving in

:01:14.:01:18.

from the south. The aim, a pincer action that will cut Islamic State

:01:19.:01:24.

off. But a way to the south, in the Kurdish held city of Kirkuk, Islamic

:01:25.:01:31.

State has struck back. In assaults on government buildings and a power

:01:32.:01:35.

station, Islamic State killed almost 50, a display of force designed to

:01:36.:01:40.

terrify and worn. Islamic State will not give up easily. The American

:01:41.:01:47.

secretary for defence is trying to keep the regional coalition facing

:01:48.:01:51.

Islamic State together. Before he left for Iraq, he made the case for

:01:52.:01:57.

a Turkish role. Turkey, since it neighbours the region of Mosul, has

:01:58.:02:03.

an interest in the ultimate outcome in Mosul. Many other parties do as

:02:04.:02:09.

well. It is a combo gated city. A fractious coalition up against a

:02:10.:02:13.

determined enemy. Driving Islamic State from Mosul is a long, hard

:02:14.:02:14.

job. Our Correspondent,

:02:15.:02:21.

Shaimaa Khalil, is live now What is the latest on the military

:02:22.:02:32.

situation there? Well, we understand that the Iraqi security forces are

:02:33.:02:37.

advancing and have gone into a town 20 kilometres from the city of

:02:38.:02:46.

Mosul, and we understand that they actually tried to drive Islamic

:02:47.:02:50.

State militants from the same town a few days ago, and they have gone in

:02:51.:02:53.

today. We are told that they have gone into a central government

:02:54.:02:58.

compound and raised a flag. Not without resistance from Islamic

:02:59.:03:06.

State militants. That is proving to be more intense now. So the advance

:03:07.:03:15.

is still ongoing, especially in that area area 20 kilometres from Mosul.

:03:16.:03:18.

Announcements about the same area have proven to be premature, but at

:03:19.:03:23.

the moment there is still fighting going on. The message from the Iraqi

:03:24.:03:27.

authorities is that despite the major attack that happened in the

:03:28.:03:32.

city of Kirkuk, the battle for Mosul is still ongoing. Thank you for

:03:33.:03:34.

joining us. Ap to 100 child refugees

:03:35.:03:40.

from the Jungle camp in Calais are expected to arrive

:03:41.:03:42.

at a Home Office building On Monday work starts to clear

:03:43.:03:45.

the Calais camp. Live now to Croydon and our

:03:46.:03:48.

Correspondent there, What are we expecting there? Any

:03:49.:03:57.

minute we are expecting the first of the three cultures carrying child

refugees to arrive here. It will come up this road and be greeted by

:04:03.:04:05.

a small group of the community who want to welcome them here. They will

then going to this building next to us, where scaffolding has been

:04:11.:04:15.

erected to help protect these young, vulnerable people's identity. They

:04:16.:04:21.

were going to the building and have their applications processed which

:04:22.:04:23.

may take up to around five hours because they will also have to have

:04:24.:04:27.

identity checks including fingerprints taken. Many will be

:04:28.:04:30.

arriving on the premise that they have family here in the UK so they

:04:31.:04:33.

will either be greeted by family members in this building, otherwise

:04:34.:04:37.

they will be taken to another location to go and meet family

:04:38.:04:38.

members. Thank you very much. The President of the European

Parliament says emergency talks today to salvage a trade deal

:04:44.:04:45.

:05:10.:05:11.

that it could form a future government

with the nationalist SDLP. Earlier, the conference

was addressed for the first time by an SDLP leader who told

in the lower decks of the luxury liner as she sailed in April, 1912.

:06:12.:06:18.

The key was later found on Sidney Cigarini, a third class steward who,

104 years, Titanic artefacts are rare, finite and hold a compelling

history and status. Duncan Kennedy, BBC News, Wiltshire.

With all the sport, here's Mike Bushell

England's cricketers have finished the 3rd day of the opening test

:07:52.:07:56.

in Bangladesh very much on top after a dramatic day.

:07:57.:07:58.

It's all rounder Ben Stokes, who England have to thank.

:07:59.:08:01.

He first helped remove the last five Bangladesh wickets for just 27 runs

:08:02.:08:04.

this morning, which meant the tourists led by 45 runs,

:08:05.:08:06.

going into the second innings, but Alistair Cook's wicket

:08:07.:08:08.

was the first to five to fall, for 62 runs.

:08:09.:08:11.

The recovery was led by Stokes who scored 85 and Johnny Bairstow

:08:12.:08:17.

who was just short of a half century, and by the close of play,

:08:18.:08:24.

England were 228 for eight, and so a healthy lead of 273.

:08:25.:08:27.

Tottenham Hotspur could go top of the Premier League this

:08:28.:08:29.

lunchtime, if they win away at Bournemouth.

:08:30.:08:33.

They are approaching half-time on the south coast in the sunshine and

it is currently goalless. The home side has had the best chance. Google

Championship side Greenock Morton are taking on Aberdeen in the last

four of the Scottish League Cup this lunchtime.

:08:51.:08:53.

It is goalless they are at half-time. Aberdeen hit the crossbar

on Friday against Australia. But as Andy Burke reports,

:09:33.:09:35.

their participation has gone under Rugby league in Scotland as a sport

:09:36.:09:47.

that operates very much in the shadows of football, rugby union and

:09:48.:09:53.

perhaps any other sport you care to mention. What do you know about

:09:54.:10:03.

Scotland's rugby league team? Absolutely nothing. Zero. I see it

:10:04.:10:06.

on the music usually but I do not really follow it. Not really much. I

:10:07.:10:09.

did not know we had one, to be honest. The Scotland team will be in

:10:10.:10:12.

the limelight for the next few weeks as they take on the world's top

:10:13.:10:15.

three sides. They are up against it but is determined to prove their

:10:16.:10:17.

quality. We have some great players in this team and we are not in this

:10:18.:10:22.

competition just to lie down, get autographs and swap jerseys. We are

:10:23.:10:26.

here to have a good crack at it. Scotland have shown signs of

:10:27.:10:30.

progress in recent years, qualifying for the finals of the 2013 World Cup

:10:31.:10:34.

and winning the European cup the following year to make it through to

:10:35.:10:38.

this for nations. It has been a long road. Taliban -- Alan Tait was

:10:39.:10:43.

already an established Great Britain star when Scotland were granted full

:10:44.:10:46.

international statement in the late 90s and to help them take their

:10:47.:10:50.

first steps on the global stage. Alan Tait! Will he score in the

:10:51.:10:59.

corner?! Yes, he does. Apple warm up stages, it was mainly students and

:11:00.:11:03.

guys in the forces. We were only allowed four professionals in the

:11:04.:11:09.

team. It was an honour, when someone asks you to be captain of your

:11:10.:11:13.

country, you grab it with both hands. Two decades on, Scotland face

:11:14.:11:20.

the ultimate challenge. So what would represent success? The fourth

:11:21.:11:25.

nation has never won in the four nations, so if we do that it would

:11:26.:11:29.

be a great success. If they do manage to spring a shock, rugby

:11:30.:11:38.

league's stock in Scotland may rise a little higher.

:11:39.:11:39.

England rugby league fans can watch their team,

:11:40.:11:41.

play France on the BBC red button this evening.

:11:42.:11:43.

And that's the sport for now so it is back to Gavin.

The next news on BBC One is at 5.25pm.

:11:50.:11:51.

That was going to be quite a bit of dry weather to come this weekend.

:11:52.:12:10.

Certainly a glorious start to the morning. Thanks for this Weather
