Extremists and government forces in Iraq are battling for control of

:00:00.:00:13.

the country's largest oil refinery. There are conflicting reports,

:00:14.:00:15.

though it's claimed ISIS fighters have seized most of the refinery.

:00:16.:00:17.

Here, David Cameron says the extremists

:00:18.:00:20.

are a direct threat to the UK. The people in that regime,

:00:21.:00:23.

as well as trying to take territory, are also planning to attack us here

:00:24.:00:28.

at home in the United Kingdom. The Iraqi prime minister has called

:00:29.:00:32.

on his countrymen to unite against ISIS.

:00:33.:00:35.

We'll have the latest from Baghdad. Also tonight:

:00:36.:00:39.

A warning that NHS England is facing a deficit of ?2 billion.

:00:40.:00:44.

Why poor white children are leaving school with worse qualifications

:00:45.:00:48.

than their black or Asian counterparts.

:00:49.:00:53.

than their black or Asian I know, I blame you entirely.

:00:54.:00:56.

And after 25 years, Paxo cycles off Newsnight - on a tandem with Boris.

:00:57.:01:05.

On BBC London, the mayor of Tower Hamlets is accused in the High Court

:01:06.:01:11.

of electoral fraud. And it is nearly two years since Julian Assange took

:01:12.:01:14.

refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy, but at what cost to London

:01:15.:01:15.

taxpayers? Good evening and welcome to the

:01:16.:01:34.

BBC News at Six. A battle is being waged over Iraq's

:01:35.:01:37.

biggest oil refinery as extremists and government forces

:01:38.:01:41.

fight to take control. The government claims it has now

:01:42.:01:44.

driven out ISIS extremists from the refinery, which lies about

:01:45.:01:47.

a hundred miles north of the capital Baghdad in the town of Baiji.

:01:48.:01:51.

But there are also claims that the extremists currently control

:01:52.:01:54.

three quarters of it. The Iraqi prime minister, Nouri

:01:55.:01:56.

al-Maliki, has used a televised speech to urge his countrymen to

:01:57.:01:59.

unite against ISIS, and formally requested US airstrikes.

:02:00.:02:04.

Here, David Cameron told MPs that the crisis

:02:05.:02:06.

in Iraq poses a direct threat to the UK in that extremists there are

:02:07.:02:12.

also planning to strike in the UK. Jonathan Beale reports from Baghdad.

:02:13.:02:20.

Another day, and another assault by ISIS. The images appear to show the

:02:21.:02:30.

Sunni extremists triumphantly entering Baiji, about 100 miles from

:02:31.:02:34.

the capital, and making the most of the military equipment they have

:02:35.:02:38.

already seized from the Iraqi army. Baiji is home to Iraq's largest oil

:02:39.:02:42.

refinery, and in the past 24 hours, there has been heavy fighting there.

:02:43.:02:46.

We can't verify these images, but they appear to show smoke rising

:02:47.:02:51.

from the direction of the refinery. We were taken by the government of

:02:52.:02:57.

the West of Baghdad. To see their special forces in action. They were

:02:58.:03:01.

carrying out vehicle checks. They appeared well armed and equipped ma

:03:02.:03:06.

and said they were already battle hardened and ready to take on ISIS.

:03:07.:03:14.

Yet, we fight them in Fallujah and some are. And here we are in

:03:15.:03:18.

Baghdad. So any time, anywhere, we fight them. Do you think they will

:03:19.:03:27.

come to Baghdad? No, they can't. This is a carefully choreographed

:03:28.:03:29.

media opportunity by the Iraqi government to show off their best

:03:30.:03:34.

troops, their special forces and to underline that they are in control

:03:35.:03:38.

of the capital, Baghdad. But the reality is ISIS is still fighting in

:03:39.:03:45.

large parts of the country. This is the contrast. These are the latest

:03:46.:03:51.

volunteers for the Iraqi army. They are still learning to march and how

:03:52.:03:55.

to fire their weapons. So far, government forces have proved unable

:03:56.:03:59.

to halt the advance of the Sunni extremists. There is still evident

:04:00.:04:06.

as well of a sectarian divide. They are chanting the name of the leading

:04:07.:04:14.

Shia cleric. Iraq's prime minister, addressing the nation, still insists

:04:15.:04:19.

that despite failings, they are united. TRANSLATION: Not every

:04:20.:04:23.

setback is a defeat. This has allowed Iraq to recover national

:04:24.:04:28.

unity. Not a single Iraqi would benefit from this crisis. Only the

:04:29.:04:32.

terrorists will benefit, and those who trade in arms. Those who start

:04:33.:04:36.

the Fire are burned by fire. But if anyone thought ISIS was a

:04:37.:04:40.

disorganised, disparate group, who was some evidence to make them think

:04:41.:04:46.

again. This is their annual report for 2013, a slick document that

:04:47.:04:50.

boasts of over 1000 assassination and more than 500 car bombings. For

:04:51.:04:56.

Iraq, it is now a fight for survival. Here, Kurdish militia are

:04:57.:05:00.

seen taking on ISIS near the city of Kirkuk. Even if they can be

:05:01.:05:04.

defeated, ISIS has already opened up a sectarian divide that might never

:05:05.:05:09.

heal. Jonathan Beale, BBC News, Baghdad.

:05:10.:05:11.

Jonathan Beale reports from Baghdad. Iran, which neighbours Iraq

:05:12.:05:13.

and is predominantly Shiite Muslim, has vowed to protect holy Shiite

:05:14.:05:16.

shrines from the ISIS Sunni Muslim extremists, which could dramatically

:05:17.:05:20.

escalate the crisis. Our world affairs editor

:05:21.:05:23.

John Simpson is in Baghdad for us. John, you've just returned

:05:24.:05:26.

from the Iraqi town of Karbala, home to one of these shrines.

:05:27.:05:28.

What did you find there? It is in fact home to the most

:05:29.:05:39.

important of all the shrines. I spoke to the man in charge of the

:05:40.:05:46.

general administration of the entire religious area. He is incidentally

:05:47.:05:55.

the man who read out the order that anybody who wanted to volunteer to

:05:56.:06:00.

go out to fight ISIS should do so, though he is a very senior man.

:06:01.:06:04.

Never given an interview before. He was very nervous about the future of

:06:05.:06:05.

this country, and was was very nervous about the future of

:06:06.:06:11.

this country, and warning that the entire existence of the state of

:06:12.:06:18.

Iraq is in danger and indeed, could endanger all the states around,

:06:19.:06:20.

which of course would mean Iran as well. The US has confirmed tonight

:06:21.:06:26.

that the Iraqi prime minister has requested air strikes. Yes. I think

:06:27.:06:37.

that was inevitable. It looks like an attempt to force the Americans'

:06:38.:06:43.

hand. President Obama is going through yet another one of these

:06:44.:06:46.

lengthy discussion processes before he makes his announcement on what he

:06:47.:06:51.

will do. I think it will be very hard now for him just to say, sorry,

:06:52.:06:59.

we can't really help you. I think the Iraqi government is getting a

:07:00.:07:06.

bit desperate. Last week, three of its battalions collapsed in the face

:07:07.:07:12.

of the ISIS advance. They need something really good to stop ISIS

:07:13.:07:20.

altogether. Thank you. We can talk now to our Deputy political editor

:07:21.:07:24.

James Langdale in Downing Street. David Cameron pointed out in the

:07:25.:07:28.

Commons today that in his view, Iraq poses a direct threat to us in the

:07:29.:07:34.

UK? Yes, the point he was making was that in his view, it would be wrong

:07:35.:07:37.

to think the conflict in Iraq has nothing to do with us. He said "the

:07:38.:07:43.

people of that regime, namely ISIS, are planning to attack us here in

:07:44.:07:48.

the UK". He said radicalised militants coming back from Iraq and

:07:49.:07:53.

Syria now posed a greater threat to the UK than those coming back from

:07:54.:07:58.

Afghanistan and Pakistan. He said police and intelligence forces were

:07:59.:08:02.

looking at the issue. Was why he chaired a meeting of the National

:08:03.:08:06.

Security Council here this afternoon to discuss the situation. That is

:08:07.:08:09.

why his officials let us know today that already, 65 people have been

:08:10.:08:14.

arrested here for what are called jihadi and Syria related activity.

:08:15.:08:19.

Again, the prime minister made clear that no British involvement in any

:08:20.:08:24.

military action will happen. Instead, he said there should be

:08:25.:08:27.

more pressure on the Maliki regime to be more inclusive, and closed

:08:28.:08:31.

down in these spaces in Iraq that are allowing extremism to spread.

:08:32.:08:34.

What did you find there? Health bosses are warning

:08:35.:08:37.

of a major funding gap looming in England's NHS budget.

:08:38.:08:39.

The BBC understands that there is a projected deficit

:08:40.:08:42.

of up to ?2 billion in the financial year beginning next April.

:08:43.:08:45.

The Department of Health says it will continue to make the necessary

:08:46.:08:49.

savings to meet rising demand. Here's our Health Editor, Hugh Pym.

:08:50.:08:58.

Caring more for patients in their homes. One of the key aims of health

:08:59.:09:07.

policy, including with Southwark and Lambeth integrated care. Christine

:09:08.:09:12.

has multiple health problems. A home visit from a nurse is often the best

:09:13.:09:17.

option, removing the need for expensive hospital treatment. In the

:09:18.:09:20.

long run, shifting more resources into the community may save money,

:09:21.:09:24.

but right now the NHS faces a financial squeeze. The NHS, and more

:09:25.:09:31.

specifically hospitals, are caught between rapidly rising cost as they

:09:32.:09:34.

have taken on more nurses to deal with the concerns about quality.

:09:35.:09:39.

They have got rising drug costs, and pensions are going up. An estimate

:09:40.:09:44.

by the health regulator Monitor undermines the scale of the

:09:45.:09:53.

challenge. The annual budget is ?78 billion. Monitor says that for next

:09:54.:09:57.

year, there is a funding gap of just over five early on. It says that

:09:58.:10:01.

even after realistic efficiency savings, a deficit of ?1.6 billion

:10:02.:10:06.

will remain. In the Commons, the prime minister was challenged over

:10:07.:10:09.

the figures. The estimate is being made today are being made on the

:10:10.:10:13.

basis that we have set challenges for the NHS in terms of making

:10:14.:10:19.

efficiencies. After four years in government, they have met those

:10:20.:10:23.

efficiency challenges every year under this government. And that

:10:24.:10:27.

money has been ploughed back into better patient care in our NHS. The

:10:28.:10:32.

big question now is whether further efficiency savings can be found to

:10:33.:10:38.

cover next year's gap. The NHS is facing mounting financial

:10:39.:10:41.

pressures, a budget which in effect has been frozen after taking account

:10:42.:10:45.

of inflation and a growing population with increasing demands

:10:46.:10:50.

for treatment. And even at this community-based trust, which is

:10:51.:10:53.

doing its best to minimise hospital stays, there are financial

:10:54.:10:57.

headaches. We are an organisation that has balanced our books and hit

:10:58.:11:02.

our financial targets pretty much 14 years in a row. This year, we are

:11:03.:11:08.

facing really serious financial challenges. And next year? And next

:11:09.:11:14.

year, tougher still. Whatever the pressures, NHS do their best for

:11:15.:11:19.

patients. A report by a think-tank, the Commonwealth fund, rated the NHS

:11:20.:11:23.

as top amongst leading economies for safe and efficient care. Hugh Pym,

:11:24.:11:26.

BBC News. Here's our Health Editor, Hugh Pym.

:11:27.:11:30.

Poor white children are leaving school with worse qualifications

:11:31.:11:32.

than equally deprived black and Asian pupils.

:11:33.:11:34.

That's according to a group of MPs, who are calling for,

:11:35.:11:37.

amongst other things, longer school days to encourage students to do

:11:38.:11:39.

their homework in school. Our education correspondent

:11:40.:11:46.

Gillian Hargreaves reports. Jack, who attends the North Shore

:11:47.:11:49.

academy in Stockton on Tees, is one of the lucky ones.

:11:50.:11:51.

He and his classmates are being taught

:11:52.:11:56.

in a rapidly improving school. But white working class children

:11:57.:11:58.

elsewhere are falling far behind pupils who are wealthier or

:11:59.:12:03.

from different ethnic groups. Here, they believe it is caused

:12:04.:12:07.

by a lack of confidence. Generations of families have not

:12:08.:12:10.

achieved in the past, and those generations are being embedded.

:12:11.:12:13.

No jobs, no aspirations, why go to school?

:12:14.:12:19.

The underachievement of white working class children is, in the

:12:20.:12:23.

words of MPs, real and persistent and can't be excused by poverty

:12:24.:12:27.

alone. Just under a third achieved at least

:12:28.:12:31.

five good GCSEs including English and maths last year, compared to

:12:32.:12:34.

more than half of children from a poor Indian background

:12:35.:12:37.

and over three quarters of underprivileged children

:12:38.:12:41.

from Chinese families. There are no excuses, and we can

:12:42.:12:47.

make a huge and transformative difference to poor children if we

:12:48.:12:49.

improve the quality of schools, if we increase the incentives to

:12:50.:12:53.

deploy the best teachers to provide education for the children from

:12:54.:12:57.

the most challenging circumstances. This is one of the places where they

:12:58.:13:02.

teach teachers. The Institute of Education attracts

:13:03.:13:05.

students from all over the world. But are the teachers of tomorrow

:13:06.:13:08.

prepared to move and work in some of our more disadvantaged communities?

:13:09.:13:13.

I have a job starting in July in inner London.

:13:14.:13:16.

The pay grade is much higher than in the rest of the UK.

:13:17.:13:20.

It is not the be all and end all, but it is something teachers take

:13:21.:13:23.

into consideration. The people training the teachers of

:13:24.:13:26.

tomorrow said it is no good blaming parents if children fail at school.

:13:27.:13:29.

I have worked in white working class communities

:13:30.:13:34.

in secondary schools, and I have never come across a parent who

:13:35.:13:42.

didn't want their child to do well. Parents want the best

:13:43.:13:44.

for their children, and they have high aspirations for them.

:13:45.:13:49.

It is the job of schools to work with parents to

:13:50.:13:52.

make sure they support their children in the right way.

:13:53.:13:54.

Being working class in England makes you more likely to

:13:55.:13:57.

fail at school than in most developed countries, and

:13:58.:14:00.

politicians say that must change. Gillian Hargreaves, BBC News.

:14:01.:14:02.

in most Our top story this evening:

:14:03.:14:07.

Extremists in Iraq battle government forces for the control of the

:14:08.:14:11.

country's largest oil refinery. Still to come, the threat posed to

:14:12.:14:16.

England's World Cup hopes by Uruguay's star striker. On BBC

:14:17.:14:21.

London, it happened in America. Now a mystery millionaire is giving

:14:22.:14:25.

cash away in a London park. And happy birthday to Lord's, the

:14:26.:14:29.

home of cricket which is celebrating its 200th anniversary.

:14:30.:14:43.

The global online trade in child sex abuse images is out

:14:44.:14:46.

of control according to a senior US police officer.

:14:47.:14:48.

The BBC was given exclusive access to what's known

:14:49.:14:50.

as the Predator unit of US homeland security, which tracks paedophiles

:14:51.:14:53.

not just in the United States, but all around the world.

:14:54.:14:57.

Just this year, Operation Predator has led to 1,000 arrests across

:14:58.:15:00.

Our Correspondent Angus Crawford has this special report which

:15:01.:15:04.

The suspect was observed attaching child porn

:15:05.:15:13.

A new day, another operation for this special unit of police

:15:14.:15:21.

Their mission to arrest child abusers and stop the trade

:15:22.:15:33.

Groggy and confused, a suspect is led away.

:15:34.:15:46.

What officers have been doing is searching the address,

:15:47.:15:50.

taking out hard drives, computers, and CDs.

:15:51.:15:53.

They have already found a significant quantity

:15:54.:15:56.

Some of the children in the pictures are as young as six years old.

:15:57.:16:03.

Just a matter of how many tips we get

:16:04.:16:07.

What does that tell you about the scale

:16:08.:16:11.

But armed raids are only one of the tactics being used to tackle

:16:12.:16:27.

Posing as as a paedophile to catch paedophiles,

:16:28.:16:32.

this special agent is online and under cover,

:16:33.:16:34.

offering children for sex to men and women across the world.

:16:35.:16:37.

There is a rare time where I don't speak to someone in the UK.

:16:38.:16:43.

It's more than 3,000 miles from the hi-tech cybercrime centre

:16:44.:16:49.

in Washington DC to this place, Verwood,

:16:50.:16:52.

But information from an agent in the US led to

:16:53.:16:57.

Luscombe had asked the under cover agent to abuse

:16:58.:17:03.

From his home, he sent obscene images as payment.

:17:04.:17:12.

The US passed the evidence to Dorset police.

:17:13.:17:16.

Luscombe was sent to prison for five years.

:17:17.:17:20.

These are tapes of his police interview, played

:17:21.:17:26.

In Los Angeles, an extraordinary computer programme

:17:27.:17:45.

allows officers to monitor paedophiles across the world.

:17:46.:17:47.

The software has never been filmed here before.

:17:48.:17:49.

Each coloured dot another possible offender.

:17:50.:17:56.

The software programme that we utilise is capturing information

:17:57.:18:01.

of when images or videos of child pornography are uploaded or

:18:02.:18:02.

So from what I can see just above Croydon there is a red dot.

:18:03.:18:14.

That means there is an individual there, who we know

:18:15.:18:16.

at this moment is swapping images of child sexual abuse.

:18:17.:18:20.

And this style of policing may soon be coming to the UK.

:18:21.:18:27.

earlier in the year to train more than 100 British detectives.

:18:28.:18:31.

The message is clear - international co-operation means

:18:32.:18:33.

In France railway workers are causing massive disruption

:18:34.:18:49.

in a national strike that is now into an eighth day -

:18:50.:18:52.

with no sign of a settlement. The whole country has been affected

:18:53.:18:55.

and there are huge traffic jams in the country's largest cities.

:18:56.:18:57.

From Paris our correspondent Christian Fraser reports.

:18:58.:19:06.

The railway workers battling riot police in front of

:19:07.:19:10.

the French Parliament. This began as a one-day strike.

:19:11.:19:13.

It's into a second week, amid threats they will extend it to July.

:19:14.:19:16.

It is the worst industrial action Francois Hollande has faced and

:19:17.:19:24.

at the start of the tourist season. TRANSLATION: The president can say

:19:25.:19:27.

what he likes, eventually he will back down.

:19:28.:19:33.

They always do. Those trains that did roll into

:19:34.:19:36.

Garde de Norde this morning were packed

:19:37.:19:39.

with weary and angry commuters. TRANSLATION:

:19:40.:19:40.

I'm late, I'm losing work, I've paid them 150 a month, it's

:19:41.:19:46.

got to stop. This is new a battle

:19:47.:19:49.

of wills between a deeply unpopular government and an equally

:19:50.:19:54.

unpopular trade union movement. At a time of zero growth

:19:55.:19:56.

and high unemployment, there is little sympathy for

:19:57.:20:00.

protected public workers, least of all the train drivers, many of

:20:01.:20:06.

whom will retire at the age of 50. The railway is 40 billion euros

:20:07.:20:12.

in the red and that debt is rising. SNDF is desperate

:20:13.:20:15.

for workers to come back. The strike has cost up

:20:16.:20:18.

150 million euros already, said this spokeswoman.

:20:19.:20:22.

It benefits no one. Of course, France is no stranger to

:20:23.:20:26.

strikes, but every so often one goes to the distance and

:20:27.:20:28.

with pressure from Brussels, Francois Hollande is yielding the

:20:29.:20:30.

axe. He can little afford to to give

:20:31.:20:39.

way at the first test on the street. There are just over 24 hours to go

:20:40.:20:42.

before England take on Uruguay in their critical World Cup match.

:20:43.:20:45.

After losing their opening game to Italy, England need

:20:46.:20:48.

at least a draw if they're to have a realistic hope of progressing.

:20:49.:20:50.

From Sao Paulo, our Chief Sports Correspondent Dan

:20:51.:20:51.

Roan sent this report. England arrived at their Sao Paulo

:20:52.:21:03.

base today for a match on which their World Cup campaign could

:21:04.:21:05.

hinge. This is the man who could stand in their way, after more than

:21:06.:21:11.

a month on the sidelines, Luis Suarez is fit for tomorrow's game

:21:12.:21:16.

after missing his country's defeat to Costa Rica. One of the sport's

:21:17.:21:22.

most controversial figures, the Liverpool striker has received wan

main man back for this game and he will play and we know from the

Premier League what a handful he is as a player and how many qualities

he brings to the game. So we will have our work cut out. If England

need inspiration after their defeat to Italy, they need look no further

lost their opening World Cup match. He said the current squad must

believe in themselves. If England play in a similar manner with an

:22:08.:22:13.

aggressive forward, attacking possession kind of game with the

:22:14.:22:18.

likes of sterling going at people, I would be confident. Uruguay were

poor in the first game. I expect them to improve, but it is easier

going into a second match if you have lost like both teams have, have

you have played well rather than being pretty awful as Uruguay were.

camp, but I guess the answer must be publicly optimistic? I think so.

:22:54.:22:59.

After all they were gallant losers in Manaus against Italy. So England

:23:00.:23:03.

will draw confidence from that. Having said, they're playing an

:23:04.:23:07.

experienced side in Uruguay tomorrow in Sao Paulo and they will be aware

that now it is results that count and should they lose here, then they

:23:12.:23:15.

could be knocked out of the World Cup as early as Friday, would you

believe. So there will be tension and anxiety if they win of course

:23:22.:23:25.

they will put themselves on target to qualify and a draw will probably

:23:26.:23:30.

be enough should they beat Costa Rica. It is a sign of their

confidence that they're bound to keep the same team. They may tweak

McIlroy is from Northern Ireland and had the option of playing

that playing for Ireland as a boy influenced his decision.

He also says he considered missing the games altogether because he

chapter. The show will be saying goodbye to its best known presenter,

the world of politics will be saying goodbye to one of the most

high 20s. 27 degrees in the Perth area. Up o' into the mid 20s.

:27:12.:27:18.

Tomorrow we will lose the heat and temperatures down by a few degrees,

but still warm. The cooler air coming in behind a cold front. There

:27:23.:27:28.

won't be much weather on it, but it will introduce some fresher air and

the odd spot of rain down the east. But basically a dry night and

temperatures holding up well. That front could give the odd spot of

:27:39.:27:42.

rain in the east of England. But otherwise a lot of dry weather. The

skies should brighten and you should see some sunshine. The odd shower

air and temperatures will be lower in northern and central parts. Still

:27:57.:28:02.

comfortable enough in the high teens. Further south it will be

warmer than today. Particularly south of the M4, where we could get

into the mid 20s and possibly up to 27 degrees in Somerset, Dorset and

Wiltshire and Hampshire. Of course we have the racing at Ascot.

:28:18.:28:21.

Tomorrow night all eyes on the big match in Brazil. We have a cold

front moving in and it will be cool. Temperatures around 14 degrees for

the England players. It should suit them. And it is lore than it will be

otherwise a pleasant day. Plenty of dry and bright weather. The warmest
