The US Defence Secretary, Ash Carter, has been holding talks

with the Iraqi Prime Minister about the coalition operation

to expel so-called Islamic State from the city of Mosul.

Mr Carter wants Turkey to play a bigger role in the battle,

but Prime Minister Abadi said it's the Iraqis who will

Mosul is surrounded by areas in Kurdish and Iraqi control,

with both sets of fighters advancing upon the city.

Shaimaa Khailil reports from northern Iraq.

Closing in on Mosul, and the so-called Islamic State. But as the

forces get closer, the resistance gets fiercer. The battle for Mosul

is in its sixth day. And every day brings more challenges. The town of

Barthel is 15 weather is away from Mosul. It was recaptured from IS

fighters on Thursday. Today, however, is a different story. The

convoy of Iraqi special forces came under fire from Islamic State, a

sign of what the situation is like in areas around Mosul. In the

oil-rich city of Kirkuk, Kurdish forces have regained control. But

there are still pockets of resistance by IS. Friday's attack

took everyone by surprise. Most of their resources were focused on

Mosul. When the Mosul offensive started, the major concern was of a

IS backlash in the city and the areas around it. If the attack on

Kirkuk proves anything, it is that the so-called Islamic State will

fight back not just in Mosul but in key cities away from the central

battle. The US Defence Secretary is in Iraq at the moment discussing

progress on the Mosul operation. They're trying to get Iraq to accept

Turkish support. Turkey is a neighbour in the region and it has

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

well. It is a complicated city. If Turkey does get involved, that is

another element added to the Mosaic of players who have come together to

fight the so-called Islamic State. The challenge is not only to

recapture Mosul, but also to keep those different forces on the same

side, as they fight a united and determined enemy.

The latest group of children to be brought from the Calais jungle camp

The Home Office has refused to specify numbers, but it's thought

the UK could receive up to 200 refugees over the coming weeks.

On Monday, work starts to clear the Calais camp.

Live now to Croydon, and our correspondent

Well, the second coach carrying child refugees is expected to arrive

in the next hour. It will be carrying 11-17-year-olds along with

charity workers and security staff. Unlike the children arriving earlier

this week, these children arriving today may not have family members

already living in the UK. The first coach arriving this afternoon,

thought to be carrying around 30 child refugees. There was this

welcome message from a small group of community volunteers, some of

whom are here to support the children through further identity

checks and a then the immigration process. Understandably some of them

were quite a lot on to talk about their experiences because they have

been through hell and back. And so we are not actually asking them

about that. It is about reassuring them that they are now safe. Earlier

this week, concerns were raised about the age of some of those

arriving here. One MP called forehand or dental x-rays to confirm

they were in fact children. That has led to this scaffolding being put up

to protect all of their identities. The journey for these children began

this morning in Calais, leaving the migrant camp ahead of its closure,

which is due to begin on Monday. An estimated 7000 people live in the

Jungle, many of whom are desperate to get to the UK. Authorities say

they will be offered places to stay in refugee centres but many worry

about those who don't want to leave. I think maybe 2000 people will

refuse to go away, and they will still continue to try to go to the

UK. Is is estimated around 70 child refugees made the journey today,

with coaches continuing to arrive tonight and into tomorrow. Many will

be joining family members in the hope of starting a away from the

squalor of the Kelly Jungle that they leave behind.

Counter-terrorism police investigating the incident in

Greenwich have discovered a suspicious device in North Devon.

Security agencies in the United States are investigating

a series of cyber attacks which prevented people around

the world accessing sites like Twitter, Amazon

An American company which provides connection to the affected sites

were targeted in one of the largest ever such attacks.

Our business correspondent Joe Lynam has the details.

Some of our most popular brands went a bit quiet yesterday's. They were

affected by one of the biggest cyber attacks ever. Under normal

circumstances, when we typed an internet address into our computer

or phone, it gets translated by companies like this one in the US

into a language which computers understand. Dyn then talks to the

requested website. Yesterday, it was different. Hackers ordered millions

of devices unwittingly to send instructions simultaneously to Dyn.

It became totally overwhelmed. The internet was designed to share,

rather than to defend. At this cyber attack has shown how dependent they

are on supercomputers like this. It has also shown the vulnerable at the

sum of our biggest companies, and some of the most ordinary objects in

our homes. Objects like printers and WebCams were unwitting actors in the

cyber attack yesterday. Some of them are connected to the Wi-Fi in our

homes and were ordered by the hackers to bombard the Dyn servers.

As we get more and more devices attached to the internet, unless we

take care of these smart devices and stop them being easily accessed with

usernames and passwords, then they will be courted in today's cyber

attacks. We still do not know who did it. One group called New World

Hacking called me and told me it was a test, and said they were targeting

Russia, if it messed with the US, as they put it. The internet is very

powerful, but that power can be turned on itself, affecting all of

us. The Leader of Plaid Cyrmu has said

the future of the United Kingdom could be in doubt as a result

of the Brexit vote. Leanne Wood told delegates

from the United States, Australia, India and China. It is a story which

retains universal appeal. The letter with that gentlemanly farewell sold

for ?34,000. The key to the life jacket locker went for ?85,000. This

is not about intrinsic value, like diamonds or gold. This is about the

heart, the head and history. We're back with the late
