Hello, I'm Karin Giannone, welcome to Outside Source,

The leader of the UK Independence Party,

The man who campaigned for decades to take Britain out of the EU says

And possibly achieve more than we managed to get in that referendum

and so I feel it's right that I should now stand aside. -- I

couldn't possibly achieve. Also in the last few minutes,

we've heard that Boris Johnson has given his backing to Andrea Leadsom

in the tory leadership contest. We'll be live in Westminster

for the latest. There's been a suspected suicide

bombing at one of Islam's holiest sites in Saudi Arabia,

during the final days of Ramadan. Chris Evans steps down

as the presenter of the world famous BBC TV show Top Gear

after just one season. And we'll hear live

from Nasa's mission control. There are likely to be a lot

of nerves - their billion dollar Juno probe is hours away

from reaching Jupiter And get in touch with me @KarinBBC

or by using the hashtag bbcos. Well, we'll get more shortly

on Boris Johnson's endorsement of Andrea Leadsom for leader

of the Conservative But first, Nigel Farage has

announced he's stepping down as leader of the

UK Independence Party. He has been one of the leaders

of the euro-sceptic movement After the referendum resulted

in a vote for Brexit, he said he'd done "his bit"

and couldn't possibly achieve more. My aim in being politics was to get

Britain out of the European Union. That is what we voted for in that

referendum two weeks ago and that is why I now feel that I've done my

bit, that I couldn't possibly achieve more than we managed to get

in that referendum, and so I feel it's right that I should now stand

aside as leader of Ukip. I will watch the renegotiation process in

Brussels like a hawk and perhaps comment in the European Parliament

from time to time. During the referendum campaign, I said that I

want my country back. What I'm saying today is I want my life back,

and it begins right now. Thank you. It's fair to say Mr Farage

is a divisive figure. In fact, that is true even

within his own party. This was a tweet from another senior

UKIP politician Douglas Carswell. It's known that the two

don't see eye to eye. Let's go over to Westminster and

talk to blood Eagle correspondent Tom Bateman. Not the first time

Nigel Farage has stepped down, but is this for good? -- talk to

political correspondent. Not for the first time, but I assume this time

it is meant, he stood down after the General Election in the United

Kingdom last year. He said during that campaign if he didn't win a

seat of Parliament, he would resign his position as leader of that

party. He didn't win that seat and did resign but just a few days

later, he decided to reinstate and self, citing support from the party.

He has been a colourful figure in British politics and attempted to

take on the political establishment in this country. He has done that by

really drawing support from the main base of Conservative and Labour

parties with that Euro-sceptic ticket. He made it his lifetime

ambition to get Britain out of the European Union and obviously feels,

through that referendum result being achieved, he has achieved that game

and head he said that Michael and hence he said that he is going. And

the whole point of being for Ukip was to get Britain out of the

European Union, what will those on site want to do now? -- and hence he

said he is going. They will wonder if they have achieved their entire

objectives. Maybe Nigel Farage thinks it has. So he will carry on

as a member of the European Parliament. But others in your kit

-- others and Ukip me try to go for that leadership, but we know they're

only MP Douglas Carswell will not, who used to be a conservative and

jumped ship to Ukip. He will not go but other figures expressed an

interest. The party may continue and it may have a clear view all --

clear rule, because in the coming months, we will see the start of a

negotiated exit and Nigel Farage has said he will watch like a hawk in

negotiations, as will the party, who will clearly have something to see

if they feel Britain is not getting a good deal against its European

counterparts. Stay with us, we will talk about the Conservatives next.

One of the key issues of the Leave campaign has been immigration.

It was discussed today by Liam Fox and Andrea Leadsom, both

of whom want to be the next leader of the Tory party.

The result is final. It must be respected and I will respect it.

The United Kingdom will leave the European Union, freedom of movement

will end and the European Parliament will decide -- of Houses of

Parliament will decide who can live, work and contribute to our national

life from Europe. This was courageous and there can be

no backsliding on this issue and no question of a second referendum. It

is quite clear that the public rejected the concept of free

movement and the price of including such free movement as part of our

trade deal would be regarded as a betrayal by the British people. We

have nothing to fear from a more free-trade environment.

We can speak to Tom again. And Andrea Leadsom has just got a

high-profile endorsement? She has, and Boris Johnson, former Mayor of

London, who campaigned for the leave vote has thrown his weight behind

Andrea Letson, with the Zap and drive to be the next leader of this

country. -- Andrea Leadsom. He went on to seizure was level-headed,

kind, trustworthy and approachable. Those water could -- those words are

significant as some people saw the act against Mr Johnson as an act of

treachery. Other key colleague, one of the key architects within that

engineer that leave vote in the referendum, Michael Gove, who was

always going to be managing his campaign bid for Number 10, they had

decided that he would run for the leadership itself. That was seen by

allies of Mr Johnson as an act of betrayal and treachery, adding to

what has been a bitter and divisive referendum campaign and the

aftermath as we have that leadership bid for Number 10. No surprise Mr

Johnson is not giving backing to Michael Gove and giving it to Andrea

Leadsom, and calling her kind and trustworthy maybe a bit of a Dick.

Tom, thank you. There's been a series of attacks

in Saudi Arabia today. Earlier, a suicide bomber set off

explosives near the US Then we heard about explosions

near a Shia mosque in Qatif Shortly after that we got news

of a suicide bombing in Medina. It was close to the Prophet's

Mosque, which is one There are reports that two security

officers were killed there. Let's get more now from

Lina Sinjab in Beirut. What we know about what happened? I

have been talking to some residents in Medina today who have said that

local news has said that apparently some police officers were sitting

about to break the fast when a young man approached them and then

detonated himself. Some people inside the mosque. They thought it

was the Canon breaking the fast then realised that was an explosion. We

know that at least two died from the police officers, but I have also

spoken to the Minister for the interior, who said shortly they will

issue a statement but right now they are still investigating the attacks

there. What about the significance of the target and the timing? Yes,

this is a very important question. We can see a series of what seems to

be coordinated attacks across three cities, and the one in Medina is

important, because it happened in a wholly city and holy shrine at a

critical time. -- holy city. Many Muslims from around the world come

to Medina for prayers, during Ramadan, to pray for the prophet.

And it is a big blow to security in the Saudi Arabia at this time and

place. I was going to ask how common is it for attacks in Saudi Arabia?

That have been some incidents that are happening. But this is one of

the most significant ones happening at this particular time of the year.

Of course there were other incidents during pilgrimage or during Ramadan,

but they were only accidents. This is as... This is from a suicide

bomber, and happened at a time when they are collating attacks across

the region, and signs that the group are hitting back. Thank you very

much. In a few minutes, I'll play

you a special report from inside Falluja in Iraq,

which has recently been retaken from so-called Islamic State

by the Iraqi Army. Central London has been hit by

terrorist attacks, there is growing evidence that Al-Qaeda is

responsible. The winner is Deutschland.

In South Africa, celebration parties have been cancelled.

The man entered the palace through a downstairs window and made his way

to the Queen's downstairs bedroom, then asked for a cigarette, she then

summoned a footman who took the man away.

One child. One teacher. One book. And one pen. All can change the

world. Education is the only solution.

One of the most influential figures in the campaign to take the UK

out of the European Union - Nigel Farage - has stood

down as leader of the UK Independence Party.

You may have heard that there was a huge bomb attack

It happened in the Karrada district when it was busy with people.

So-called Islamic State has claimed responsibility.

The bombing comes just a week after IS militants lost control

Our Middle East Editor, Jeremy Bowen,

This is Falluja, losing this town so hard to be Joe Hart this sort

Islamic that the last out by massacring civilians in Baghdad.

Iraq's perpetual war was caused by a chain of consequences that leads

back to the invasion of 2003. Iraq's invaders, the US and Britain,

removed a hated dictator and was -- dissolved his army and state. But

there was no real plan to reconstruct the country, and made

plans work -- and made it worse. Jihadists were not in Iraq before

the invasion, and Shia and Sunni Muslims, whose sectarian war started

during the occupation, could coexist. There are lot of IS members

here. This elite unit of the Iraqi army took the lead in Falluja,

helped by American air strikes, one pull this IS compound. -- one

destroyed this combine. Bodies lying in the rubble. Suicide vest?

Exactly. So-called Islamic State to route

from Al-Qaeda, following the invasion. Before they were killed,

IS regular car for a suicide attack. -- they had changed this car.

This is from a grenade? Yes, he just pulled and blew up all the vehicles.

So this was intended for a suicide mission? Exactly.

This car bomb was not used. After defeat in Falluja, IS put a much

bigger one into Baghdad. In a suburban house, IS set up a prison.

This isn't the only private jail in Iraq. In a fractured country,

arbitrary imprisonment is a display of power. IS chained prisoners in

cages the size of dog kennels. To get power and keep it, politicians

and warlords in Iraq have exploited sectarian fears.

The jihadists of Islamic State would not have been able to take such a

grip on Iraq without the sectarian conflict between Shia and Sunni

Muslims. The argument between them goes back 1400 years. But the

invasion in 2003 had the effect of redefining and supercharging it for

the 21st century. Around 45,000 people, all Sunni

Muslims displaced by the fighting against Islamic State, are in a camp

outside Falluja. They get water, food and basic shelter from the

heat. But new families are still arriving. Unicef says the lives of

one in five Iraqi children, 3.6 million, are in serious risk because

of war. A bullet hit this goal as they

escaped the Lodz. -- this girl as they escaped Falluja. Men and women

were separated and beaten for days. This child hopes their father might

join the family again, but neither saw him beaten to death as other

neighbours were shot. Many men in a camper still injured and too

frightened to be identified. -- many men in the camp. These Falluja men

claim the invasion for what happens in the Middle East.

TRANSLATION: Outside countries entered Iraq and destroyed us.

Afghans, Iranians and others. America put us in the mouth of Iran

and other countries and left us. The camp is on edge. Please try to

control food queues by firing into the air. -- the police try to

control. Iraqis have often made but is much worse for themselves. But

mistakes made by the United States and Britain 13 years ago pushed them

down the road to catastrophe. There's more from Jeremy and from

Iraq on the BBC website. Time for business News.

Remember the Libor scandal back in 2012?

Well, three former Barclays traders have been found guilty of trying

to rig that key lending rate used between banks.

Jonathan Mathew, Jay Merchant and Alex Pabonwere were accused

of conspiracy to defraud in setting the Libor rate

The BBC's Economics Correspondent Andy Verity has more.

I can hear at Southwark Crown Court in central London, where we have had

three guilty verdicts for former Barclays Bank was found guilty of a

conspiracy to defraud. An international one. They have been

found guilty of the flooding back Ruth Lee, the interbank offered

rate, which should be measuring how banks can borrow money from each

other. -- guilty of fraud in Libor. But such large sums were being bet,

a total of the hundred and $50 trillion, five times as much as

produced in the world of the year, so much was riding on Libor, the

traders would speak to the bank people, who set the rates, and

asking them to tweak it up or down, and if it moved by 100th of 1%, they

could make or lose $1 million, so the incentive was there for this

rates to be corrupted and according to the jury hear about is what three

of these traders did, but two on trial here haven't been convicted.

The jury couldn't reach a verdict. This international conspiracy has

had a strange ending at the court. Andy Verity reporting.

Britain's Finance Minister is suggesting a massive tax cut

for business to encourage more investment in the UK following

George Osborne says he wants to slash corporation tax

That would give the UK the lowest corporation tax

Here's what he, and the Shadow Chancellor, had to say about it.

In my view, the strongest signal we could send the world after this

referendum that Britain is open to the world and ready to do business

would be to cut corporation tax further. We should aim for a rate of

15% and preferably lower. I have to say that a lack of

planning for a leave vote is becoming evident across all policy

areas. Instead of a clear plan of action we have had ad hoc statements

and announcements. I want to raise the critical questions. The budget

this year suggested that this is one percentage point reduction in the

headline corporation tax rate would reduce expected revenues by around

?1 billion. Does he still hold to this estimate and how would he pay

for any losses in tax revenues from the proposed corporation tax cuts?

Who will pay? The corporation tax cuts we have produced in this

government have not only given us the lowest corporation tax rate

amongst any of the advanced economies in the world, we have seen

a 20% increase in receipts from corporation tax because businesses

are coming to this country, growing business in this country.

Another high-profile resignation to bring you up to date with.

It's only been a matter of weeks since his debut,

but the host of the BBC's famous Top Gear show has resigned.

Evans had been on the revamped program for only one series -

since the departure of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond

Welcome to Top Gear with our all-new improved audience.

When Chris Evans replaced Jeremy Clarkson as the face

of Top Gear, it was never going to be easy.

Jeremy Clarkson had turned the show into a global success story and then

Chris Evans stepped in alongside former Friends star, Matt Le Blanc.

But Chris Evans has lasted just one series.

He's faced a stream of negative stories in the press and also

allegations about his behaviour going back to the '90s.

This morning, he said nothing as he left Radio 2.

A few hours later, he sent this tweet.

One Top Gear fan who is also a former Stig agrees.

I think it was an obvious consequence of the first show,

Now, the shows have got an awful lot better,

but that was the key moment the new show and Chris had

And they just didn't get the first one right.

When you add in catch-up and repeats, around 9 million did

watch the first programme, but since then figures have dipped.

Last night's ratings were below 2 million.

The BBC says the show will continue, filming for the new series,

But while Chris Evans will be back on air on Radio 2 tomorrow,

the world's biggest factual programme has once again

Just to remind you of the political story that broke in the last hour in

London, the former Mayor of London Boris Johnson, who campaigned for

Britain to leave the EU, has given his support to Andrea Leadsom to be

the next leader of the Conservative Party. She is currently energy Mr

and Boris Johnson said she had is that, drive and determination needed

to be Prime Minister. We will have more Outside Source after the

weather, you soon. -- see you soon.
