Raise Welcome back. These are the main stories: Iraqi security forces | :00:10. | :00:21. | |
are launching an attack to free Mosul from the Islamic State group. | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
Reaching the city may take several weeks and cost many lives. Today, | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
they liberated 10 villages. They will need to liberate another 70. | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
And the UK politician who ended up in hospital after a row with a | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
colleague. Steven Woolfe said Ukip is in a death spiral and he is | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
quitting. The BBC has been given special access to the launch of a | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
Chinese space mission and in sport we will bring you the latest on | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
Liverpool against Manchester United and more trouble for Nick Kyrgios. | :01:03. | :01:18. | |
Let's talk about what is happening in the area of Iraq around Mosul. | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
This is a city that matters for a number of reasons. First it is where | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
Islamic State really made us all aware of its power when it was | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
seized in 2014. Second it matters, because it is one of Iraq's biggest | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
cities. It matters because this is where the Islamic State chose to | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
proclaim a caliphate. So symbolically it is significant. The | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
consequences of what happens in Mosul if they can seize the city | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
will be profound not just for the strength of Islamic State, but for | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
the thousands who call the city home. It is feared that tens if not | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
hundreds of thousands of people will have to flee Mosul, perhaps into | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
Turkey or into Syria. The BBC's world affairs editor has been | :02:13. | :02:24. | |
looking at the issues. In 2014 they seemed unstoppable. Their leader | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
announced he was setting up a Muslim caliphate, covering large parts of | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Iraq and Syria. But their extremism alienated people. Especially given | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
the public brutality of the constant executions they carried out, often | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
for trivial offences. These men were shot at the weekend. How serious is | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
this for Islamic State? Well this was the area IS controlled at the | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
start of last year. Now, 21 month later, it is in retreat. But because | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
Mosul is Sunni dominated, the operation will be extremely | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
sensitive. Kurdish troops make up part of the attacking force. The | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
Iraqi army has Shia majority and there has been hostility between | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
them and Sunnis in the region. The force is backed by western air | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
strikes. There are around 30,000 troops against 3,500 Islamic State | :03:37. | :03:51. | |
troops the. But they have dug tunnels and planted booby trap bombs | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
and may have chemical weapons. Britain is involved in the Mosul | :03:56. | :04:04. | |
campaign. Yesterday our aircraft were striking terrorist position and | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
our army has been helping to train the troops. We are not putting | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
combat troops on to the ground into this operation. The real danger is | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
the attack on Mosul could result in a humanitarian disaster. A million | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
inhabitants may need food and shelter and be used as human | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
shields. If things go wrong, Mosul could turn into an Iraqi version of | :04:29. | :04:38. | |
Aleppo and Russia could claim its ferocious tactics there are | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
justified. A member of the European Parliament who spent three nights in | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
hospital after a row with a party colleague is quitting the party, | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
saying Ukip is in a death spiral. Steven Woolfe has been running to be | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
the next leader of Ukip. But he is not any more. Here he | :04:59. | :05:11. | |
is explaining what happened. : He rushed at me and there was a blow | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
that impacted me in the face. I was pushed back into the room and hit my | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
back head against the back of one of the walls that was there. Prior to | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
this you were the first person to say you wanted to be Ukip's next | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
lead. What now for those hopes? Well there are no hopes as far as I'm | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
concerned. I will be withdrawing my application to be become lead and | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
I'm withdrawing from Ukip. I'm resigning with immediate effect. If | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
you want to watch that again it is available on the BBC web-site. Now | :05:53. | :06:01. | |
sport and in particular some more bad News for Nick Kyrgios has been | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
suspended for eight weeks and fined after his behaviour in Shanghai. He | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
didn't try on certain points. He was sharp with a fan who took issue with | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
that. He has posted a statement on his web-site that you can read in | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
full. Some of the key quotes, my body finally gave out mentally and | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
physically. This is no excuse and I know I need to apologise to the fans | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
and the organisers in Shanghai. He also thanked Andy Murray, who had | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
this to say on the whole matter, sometimes the mental health of | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
players is not discussed, because we are supposed to be strong. Kyrgios | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
has agreed to seek professional help. That will see his ban reduced | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
and he will be back playing in November. Now football and Liverpool | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
are playing Manchester United. Jurgen Klopp against Jose Mourinho | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
at Anfield. The kind of mouth watering match that makes the | :07:04. | :07:13. | |
Premier League such a big hit. Olly foster has been watching. You | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
haven't missed. Really? You would think this is one of the fixtures - | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
Manchester United at Anfield, under the flood lights, it is one that the | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
Premier League sells itself on. You would not wish to find a worse first | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
half of football. An absolute stinker. Hard lay chance for -- | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
hardly a chance for either side. Wayne Rooney dropped by Manchester | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
United for the fourth game in a row and remember he was dropped by | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
England as well. He has just come off the bench. But very, too early | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
to say whether he can change the match. It has opened up more in the | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
second half. Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a header. Coutinho has had a chance | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
and Can. But it is not a very good match at all. Jose Mourinho has set | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
up his side very defensively and he has been very animated on the | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
touchline. He will be happy going to Anfield and getting a point. | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
Liverpool, if they had got a big win, they could have gone top of the | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
table. A win for United would jump them up a couple of places. But this | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
is not one that you will want to remember in a hurry. Kevin | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
Pietersen, we are trying to work out if anybody's excited about this, | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
Kevin Pietersen, the cricket Irish Republic said the engines on | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
footballers these days, feels like I'm watching my son play Fifa 17. | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
Incredible athleticism, speed and endurance. But this match isn't very | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
good. Thank you. If after you have heard that you are still minded to | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
find out how the game is going, go to the BBC sport app and it says, | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
lives, if you hit that you will get the live page updating with comments | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
and tweets and so on. Now comments that the chairman of the English FA | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
has made he said he thinks Premier League play ers who come out as gay | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
would still suffer abuse. Here is the chairman talking to MPs earlier. | :09:26. | :09:36. | |
I would be amazed if we haven't got gay players and I'm ashamed they | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
don't feel safe to come out. There is a very small minority of people | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
who hurl vile abuse at people who they perceive are different. Our job | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
is to stamp down hard on that behaviour. I can't give you enough | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
of a commitment about how much I loathe that sort of behaviour. And | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
the good news is we are not in denial. We may not have figured out | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
how to crack it, but there a is deep loathing of that in football. This | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
weekend there were reports of homophobic chanting at a match and | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
there are currently no openly gay male professional players in | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
England. Now later we are going to get a report about making a new UK | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
polar research ship. This is the ship which after a public vote was | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
almost called Boaty McBoat face. That didn't happen, but we will tell | :10:39. | :10:48. | |
you what happened. Great pictures of people lining the streets of | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
Manchester to celebrate Britain's Olympic and Paralympic teams. After | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
a summer spent in the Rio sunshine, it seemed Manchester had initially | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
got the weather memo. Self--ys were the order of day with Britain's | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
stars. Before the parade a chance to renext. I recognise my achievements. | :11:10. | :11:19. | |
I am loving every minute, it is a hard four years and it is nice to | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
think it was all for that moment. But this is Britain and the weather | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
was bound to play its part, with the crowds in places not as big as | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
hoped. But those who made the effort had a simple message for the | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
athletes. It's been so hard to find your way and not see people that are | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
so excited, wearing all the flags, it is a brilliant atmosphere. | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
Amazing and it got me out of school! Supporters had done their maths. 147 | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
of the medals came home from the Paralympic team and Team GB smashed | :11:59. | :12:08. | |
Olympic records. For some, it was their first experience of a parade. | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
For others, their last. Jessica Ennis-Hill retired last week after | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
winning silver. She said Rio was the perfect end. In my heart, I knew | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
this was the right decision. But it is still very difficult to make it | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
public and say it. You know the messages and the support I have had | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
over the years it has been incredible. So I can't thank you all | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
enough. It has been very special. For some, those experiences are just | :12:37. | :12:46. | |
beginning. Ellie Symonds inspired GB's youngest medallist to get into | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
the team. Friends maybe, but rivals too. She beat me in some of the | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
races, so not happy about that. Hopefully that will change in Tokyo. | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
But no, I support my team mates all the way, the whole of Paralympics | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
and Olympics GB. We are a great team and we are proud to be British. | :13:07. | :13:17. | |
Innit seems -- Britain it seems is equally proud. | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
Welcome back. Our lead story that is Iraqi Government forces and their | :13:22. | :13:31. | |
allies have started an offensive to recapture Mosul from the Islamic | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
State group. 30,000 troops are thoughts to be involved. Coming up, | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
if you're out side the UK it is world news America and claims from | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
Donald Trump that the election is rigged at many polling places. Here | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
in the UK it is the News at 10 with an interview with the new chair of | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
the child sex abuse inquiry. Alexis Jay is the fourth chair of the | :14:00. | :14:00. | |
inquiry. The TV network RT says | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
all its bank accounts It's a Russian state-run broadcaster | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
that is available internationally. It's posted the letter the Nat West | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
bank sent to its London "We have recently | :14:12. | :14:35. | |
undertaken a review of your banking arrangements with us and reached | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
the conclusion that we will no In the past, RT has been sanctioned | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
by the UK's broadcasting regulator We have had an update from Royal | :14:45. | :15:02. | |
Bank of Scotland, which owns NatWest. | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
In the past RT has been sanctioned by the broadcasting regulator for | :15:11. | :15:19. | |
biased reporting, but there is nothing to suggest that is connected | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
to this ruling on its bank accounts. Now one RT presenter based in Moscow | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
explained the service she says RT provides in the UK. We have been | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
under some pressure in the UK. We don't think that it is because of | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
the lack of impartiality, in fact we don't think that any broadcaster | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
present in the UK is impartial for that matter. But we do believe that | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
we are bringing valuable alternative position to the British audience and | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
we hope to continue doing so. Specially given that the BBC has | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
very sprawling operation in Moscow and are hiring a lot of people to | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
bring... You know Russian language news to the Russian audience and | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
hiring producers and reporters, this what is we have been doing in the | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
UK. And we hope that we will continue to be doing that. And if | :16:17. | :16:24. | |
you want your news in Russian, do go to the BBC Russia web-site. | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
China has launched two men into space. | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
They'll carry out research in the Tiengong 2 space lab | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
and they'll complete the longest stay in space by Chinese astronauts. | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
And there's no question that China is committing to space. | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
There are 181 Chinese satellites and 11 astronauts | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
It has 20 space missions slated this this year. | :16:47. | :16:56. | |
Today's launch happened in the Gobi desert in North-western China. | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
Stephen McDonell was there - this is what he saw. | :16:59. | :17:10. | |
Seeing this Chinese rocket take-off was every bit as powerful as you | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
This country has great ambitions, when it comes to the stars. | :17:14. | :17:31. | |
And there is a feeling nothing can stop | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
It is not something a journalist is normally allowed to | :17:34. | :17:42. | |
Our journey here began 28 hours earlier, | :17:43. | :17:52. | |
driving through the night, deeper into the Gobi Desert. | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
Visiting a Chinese space launch, meant being | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
escorted into a remote military zone. | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
We saw the preparations to catapult two astronauts into space, | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
where they will spend one month carrying out research. | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
TRANSLATION: The astronauts will work eight hours | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
a day, six days a week on this mission. | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
They will follow the same time zone as ours on earth. | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
Why would journalists, especially | :18:24. | :18:25. | |
foreign journalists be allowed inside this | :18:26. | :18:26. | |
For one thing, this country is proud of its | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
When it is copping flak, especially in the South China | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
Sea, this is them showing there are strong nation, getting good | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
Not often you go to a press conference with astronauts, | :18:42. | :18:53. | |
This is the bubble they will appear in. | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
The reason they are behind glass, they do not want to get sick. | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
If you are blasting off to spend one month | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
on the space station, you would not want to do it with the flu. | :19:05. | :19:12. | |
TRANSLATION: Being an astronaut is my dream and my duty. | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
Although the job is full of challenges and risks, | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
In two days' time they will be on board the space station, orbiting | :19:20. | :19:31. | |
They said they could not wait to look back down on the planet | :19:32. | :19:41. | |
If you're wondering why China isn't sending astronauts to the | :19:42. | :20:09. | |
international space mission, there are concerns about that and from | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
that story to another, you remember the story of the polar ship that had | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
its name put out to a public vote and it was voted as Boaty McBoat | :20:25. | :20:34. | |
face. Now it has been called Sir David Attenborough. | :20:35. | :20:55. | |
News of the investment in polar science was almost ecliped by the | :20:56. | :21:05. | |
vote to name the ship boaty McBoat face. Now it has been named Sir | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
David Attenborough. It is very humbling if you have any knowledge | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
of Antarctic exploration or the navy, you can think of some very | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
distinguished names that have been carried by ships. That my name | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
should be among them now is a very humbling realisation. Sir David took | :21:31. | :21:42. | |
part in a ceremony to begin the ship's construction, winching a huge | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
section of the keel into place. But this is a Boaty, a submersible that | :21:50. | :22:03. | |
will be used. With the first mission scheduled for 2019, Sir David and | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
Boaty will set out to explore together. Just checking to see if | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
that boring Liverpool/Manchester United game is over. It is not over | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
yet. But it is a couple of minutes away. Still 0-0 and also the | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
president of European council tweeting, had a good phone call with | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
Theresa May and we agreed she will update us on Brexit article 50 at | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
this week. He is talking about the latest European Union summit. It is | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
taking place on Thursday and Friday outside source will be live at the | :22:39. | :22:50. | |
summit on Thursday. The first time trooem time Theresa May will attend | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
as a Prime Minister. Thank you for watching. See you soon. | :22:56. | :23:00. |
