The Battle for Mosul - a new push on the last Iraq | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
stronghold of so-called Islamic State. | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
Iraqi forces push towards the part of the city still held by IS, | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Armoured vehicles are lining up, getting ready for the Islamic State, | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
who are only a couple of kilometres that way, and they know | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
They're dug in, and the assault on western Mosul has started. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
We'll have the latest on the effort to liberate nearly a million people | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Thousands of prison officers in England are to get a big pay rise - | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
but will it be enough to keep staff in problem jails? | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
You look at what's happening last night in Sweden. | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
After President Trump appears to speak of a security incident | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
that never happened, Sweden asks the United States | :00:58. | :00:59. | |

Iraqi security forces have been pushing forward today in a major | :01:20. | :01:49. | |
offensive aimed at taking full control of their second | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
largest city - Mosul - from so-called Islamic State. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
The city was seized more than two years ago as IS moved | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
The offensive to remove them began last October, | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
with Iraqi troops securing the eastern part | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
But the western half of the city is home to around three quarters | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
of a million civilians, and stiff resistance | :02:12. | :02:12. | |
Our Middle East correspondent, Quentin Sommerville, | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
and cameraman Nik Millard, are the only television journalists | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Just after sunrise, Iraq began what it hopes is its last major | :02:22. | :02:35. | |
battle against the so-called Islamic State. | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
Thousands of men and hundreds of armoured vehicles in a line | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
The Iraqi army are starting their assault on western Mosul. | :02:46. | :02:55. | |
Armoured vehicles are lining up, getting ready for the Islamic State. | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
They are only a couple of kilometres over that way, | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
They are dug in, and the assault in western Mosul has started. | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
Leading the attack, Iraq's emergency response division, | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
Some of these men were surrounded by IS two years ago. | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
Today, they threw everything they had at IS. | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
We are now above the village which is their main target. | :03:27. | :03:45. | |
and they're about to call in some artillery strikes. | :03:46. | :03:56. | |
The captain tells me there are three IS fighters in a yellow building | :03:57. | :04:05. | |
They had set up a whole bunch of rifles, but as you can see here, | :04:06. | :04:30. | |
they're getting ready with another RPG just in case. | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
There were four car bombs in total, but soon government | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
They killed 13 IS fighters and sustained only one casualty. | :04:37. | :04:47. | |
TRANSLATION: We are very glad to have liberated this area. We have | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
killed lots of IES, and we will soon get civilians back to their homes. | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
-- IS. We will continue to push forward and follow IS to the border. | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
Here, there were no white flags and no black IS flags. For the first | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
time in years, the Iraqi flag flew above this village. | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
This village is small, but it's important, it's | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
the gateway to Mosul proper and the city's airport. | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
As we discovered, Holmes had become fortresses. Here, IS weapons. And | :05:30. | :05:41. | |
hidden inside a house, away from surveillance aircraft, another car | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
bomb disguised as an ambulance. The bomb inside was still live. In the | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
street, though, a critical advantage - though were no civilians. In West | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
Mosul there are three quarters of a million people and thousands of IS | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
vitals. -- fighters. It took them in just six hours to take this village, | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
their target. They made good progress but with overwhelming | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
force. Beyond here is another town and another village. That town | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
overlooks Mosul airport and the city itself. From here on in, though, the | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
going would be nearly so fast. This was a victory two years in the | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
making. But it's more than that. These troops, once humiliated by IS, | :06:28. | :06:36. | |
today celebrated, a moment of redemption for them and for Iraq. | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
Quentin Somerville, BBC News, on Mosul's southern front. | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
Well, the wider fight against so-called Islamic State, | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
and the security of the region has been discussed today at a major | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
security conference in Munich, and our chief international | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
correspondent, Lyse Doucet, is there. | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
What sense that you get of the wider fight? Everyone here, including | :07:01. | :07:11. | |
British officials, warned the Iraqi administration that the fight was | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
not just military. Who is going to run Mosul once IS is defeated there? | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
You have various groups on the ground. Without a power-sharing | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
agreement now, Mosul will be plunged into another wave of violence and | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
extremism. There are questions too about what happens in Syria, where | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
IS is in control of rack up. We heard calls here for American | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
special forces to go in on the ground. Others say that will just | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
inflame tensions. One UN official to me that if President Trump has an | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
America first policy, it has to be rack up first. There are IS gun men | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
holed up there, in front of their computers, plotting 911- style | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
attacks. Here in Munich, a lot of talk about accelerating the fight | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
against IS, but a lot of worry that the right strategies are not in | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
place. Lee's Doucet, thank you. The Prison Officers Association has | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
dismissed Government plans to increase the pay of some | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
of its members as a sticking plaster Thousands of officers at jails | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
in London and the south-east of England will be offered a rise | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
of between ?3000 and ?5000. Ministers say it will boost | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
recruitment and retention, but the union says all its members | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
face the same risks Here's our home affairs | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
correspondent, June Kelly. This is how many officers it takes | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
to contain one violent prisoner. Every working day, staff | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
are battling simply to keep control. The ?12 million in | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
extra pay announced today is aimed at bringing in new | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
recruits and paying some existing Here in Wandsworth jail in south | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
London, officers will The offer is limited to prisons | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
in the capital and the south-east, a divisive move, | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
according to the Prison Officers We're going to welcome additional | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
money for our members, of course we are, but we | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
don't think this goes far enough to solving | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
the We believe it needs | :09:08. | :09:08. | |
to be a national issue. The offer is for standard | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
grade three prison officers, not for more senior | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
supervisors or specialists. Each will receive | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
a pay hike of at least For new recruits, their pay package | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
will be increased by ?5,000, The Panorama programme recently went | :09:20. | :09:28. | |
undercover at Northumberland jail, Staff constantly having to search | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
for banned substances. There is no more money | :09:34. | :09:47. | |
for officers here in One needed medical | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
treatment for a seizure because he'd inhaled | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
the synthetic drug Spice. The Justice Secretary | :09:53. | :09:53. | |
Liz Truss has already announced plans to significantly | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
boost officer numbers. It's not something you | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
can sort out in weeks It takes time to recruit people, | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
to bring those people on. But I'm absolutely determined | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
to deal with that. But prison reform campaigners, | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
including those who have been inside, say there has | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
to be more focused on retaining There is a peculiar | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
invisible chemistry of where a mutual respect | :10:17. | :10:25. | |
between experienced prison officers who know how to keep difficult | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
prisoners under control from inexperienced | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
officers who don't quite understand that you don't need | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
to take out your truncheon necessarily to sort out | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
a Eventually, the plan is for 2500 | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
extra officers in England and Wales. But they won't all be | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
in place until 2018. President Trump has made a strong | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
defence of his first four weeks in office, | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
saying a new spirit of optimism Addressing thousands | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
of supporters in Florida, he repeated pledges to create jobs | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
and improve the nation's security. But he also appeared to refer | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
to an incident in Sweden The Swedish government has | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
asked for an explanation. From Florida, our correspondent | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
Laura Bicker reports. This is a US holiday weekend to | :11:15. | :11:27. | |
celebrate past presidents, but in New York and elsewhere, some decided | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
to hold protests about the new one. It has been a tough first month for | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
Donald Trump. He took time to step into the sunshine state and hold a | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
rally with supporters. This is more firm, more familiar ground. The | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
president of the United States... He promised to get more work done, | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
including releasing a new immigration order this week to | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
replace his controversial travel ban, but some of his reasoning | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
caused more controversy. You look at what's happening last night in | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
Sweden. Sweden! Who would believe this? Sweden. They took in large | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
numbers, they're having problems like they never thought possible. | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
The Swedish Embassy in the US asked for an explanation. There have been | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
no terror attacks there this week. The White House said he was | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
referring to reports of rising crime, which he may have seen on Fox | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
News. It is the kind of distraction from his message that Mr Trump | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
blames on the media. I also want to speak to you without the filter of | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
the fake news. CHEERING | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
They have become a big part of the problem. They are part of the | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
corrupt system. President Trump accused major US networks of being | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
an enemy of the people. One senior Republican says that lessons need to | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
be learned from history. If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
you have to have a free and many times adversarial press and without | :13:00. | :13:07. | |
it, I'm afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
over time. That's how dictators get started. But the President's chief | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
of staff says the media is constantly making up news. Talking | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
about Russian spies, about the intelligence community, about how me | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
and Steve Bannon don't like each other and what is Kelly and doingall | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
of this total garbage, unsourced stuff. Donald Trump help this rally | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
to revive his message, but it's also a reminder - there is work to do. | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
President Trump seems far more comfortable at the campaign podium | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
than he does in the Oval Office right now. He seems to feed from the | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
energy of this crowd, but he doesn't need to win friends here in Florida, | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
he needs them in Capitol Hill. If he is to get his agenda through | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
Congress. He also needs to find a new national security adviser after | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
his first choice resigned and the second turns down the job. He's | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
holding interviews today. The rally will have helped Donald Trump | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
reconnect with his voting base, but now it's time to get on with | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
governing. Laura Becker, BBC News, Florida. | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
The American-owned food and beverage firm, Kraft Heinz, | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
has "amicably agreed" to withdraw its proposal | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
for a takeover of Britain's third largest company, | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
Unilever had turned down its approach, describing it | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
as having "no merit, strategic or financial," | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
but it was thought the US giant would return with a higher offer. | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
Our business correspondent, Joe Lynam, is here. | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
Joe, what happened to stop this takeover? | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
this is an extraordinary U-turn. Within hours of this bid being | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
submitted, they are walking away. It would have been one of the biggest | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
corporate takeovers, bringing together global brands. But it is | :14:48. | :14:57. | |
not to be. I understand the two bosses spoke over the weekend and | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
became patently clear that Kraft Heinz would have to launch a hostile | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
takeover, which would have been very expensive. I think the seven and a | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
half thousand Unilever staff will be glad tonight. There were fears over | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
cutting costs and jobs. Thank you. Over the last two weeks we've been | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
reporting in our Health Check series on the growing | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
pressures on hospitals. Those pressures are also | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
intensifying in general practice, with the latest figures showing | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
a slight fall over 12 months in the number | :15:29. | :15:30. | |
of GP posts in England. It's getting harder to fill GP | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
vacancies, and doctors are seeing a growing caseload | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
of more complex conditions. Our health editor, | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
Hugh Pym, explains. Three doctors and three stories | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
illustrating the pressures on GPs. More patients with difficult | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
conditions, finances not keeping up, and a job that they say | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
is increasingly stressful. This used to be a surgery | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
in the West Midlands, The GPs running it | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
couldn't make the sums A high workload needed more staff, | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
which increased costs. They had to cut their | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
own pay, so they This was one of | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
the hardest decisions I went into medicine | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
to look after people and help people, and to be in a position | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
where you feel like you can't do that job, it's not something | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
I ever wanted to do. But at the end of the day, | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
I've got to do what's right for Local patients have | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
had to move to nearby GPs accept they are relatively | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
well-paid, but some now feel it's no longer worth | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
running a practice. We hope that in due course we'll be | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
able to accommodate trainees... It's hardly traditional for a | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
medical job advert, but this doctor has taken to social media | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
to advertise a GP vacancy which has He says other local | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
practices have the same problem, and in their part | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
of rural Essex, his concern is for We're now four GPs down | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
from the 12 we ought to have. If you have more than about 2000 | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
patients per GP, access to general People can't get the | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
appointments that they need, and the burden on the GPs | :17:06. | :17:13. | |
that remain becomes very Many GPs are now | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
part-time, like this She says she works several more | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
hours each week than she's paid for, seeing or phoning | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
more than 40 patients a day. I'm just wondering if I'd | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
be able to discuss... The cases are getting | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
more complex and more The problem that happens | :17:37. | :17:38. | |
when we're working at pressure is that you never have that | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
time and space to sit and think, I need to read through | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
the note, read through the letters from the hospital, | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
read through what I know about these But often, you just don't | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
have the time or space to do that, because the moment you've | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
finished with one patient, the door Some might say you're | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
a highly paid professional, that there are others who work very | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
hard in the public sector, that you just have | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
to get on with it. If this was an easy job | :18:05. | :18:06. | |
that was so highly paid that anyone wanted to do it, | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
then why do a third of GP surgeries currently have | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
unfilled vacancies? NHS England says more of the budget | :18:13. | :18:13. | |
is being shifted to GP care. Ministers say some surgeries aren't | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
opening for long enough each day, but this GP feels they're | :18:17. | :18:18. | |

Angelina Jolie says she hopes her new film | :18:24. | :18:45. | |
about Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge will help educate the world | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
about the brutality of the regime. "First They Killed My Father" | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
is based on the childhood experiences of Cambodian human | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
