John Sudworth reports. 71 years ago a US President sent

a single bomb to destroy Today, a holder of that

same office came here for the first time, standing next

to the Japanese Prime Minister It's impossible to deny,

of course, the deep The huge media presence

are here to see the leader of the only country ever to have

used an atomic weapon paying his respects in Hiroshima,

a city that has come to symbolise On a bright, cloudless morning,

death fell from the sky A flash of light and a wall

of fire destroyed a city, and demonstrated that mankind

possessed the means From the instant of the first

blast... President Obama has made it clear,

though, that he is not here to offer an apology

for an act his predecessors have I said to my friend,

look, beautiful, aeroplane As she pointed, the bomb exploded

in the sky above her. She still suffers the effects

of the serious burns today. What do you think about the visit

by President Obama to Hiroshima? I was very happy to hear that,

because that is one But, as always, a short distance

from the President stands an officer carrying America's

nuclear launch codes. It's a reminder of the reality,

on a day strong on symbolism Some breaking news -

an American entertainment website is reporting that the actor

Amber Heard, who is filing What is happening? A court has

ordered that Johnny Depp stay away from his estranged wife, Amber

Heard. That is why -- that is because she has accused of domestic

violence. She says he threw her mobile phone at her, during a fight

at the weekend, striking her eye and her cheek. And in the documents to

the court, it has been reported that there was a photo showing the

injuries that she sustained during this alleged incident. She also

accuses Depp of pulling her hair repeatedly and also striking her and

hitting her repeatedly. She says the actor was high on drink and drugs at

the time. As I say, the judge has ordered that he stay away from her,

until another court hearing on the 17th of June. Johnny Depp himself

has not responded to this but his lawyer has said that he will honour

this stayaway order by the judge. And he is currently in Portugal with

his band. A huge amount of media interest. The couple only married

just over a year? That's right. They met in 2011, on the set of a film.

But they really gained international prominence only a month ago when

they were back in court in a different way, you may remember they

were accused of illegally smuggling their dogs to Australia while they

were filming there. Last month they delivered a bizarre video apology to

the court in Australia for that incident. And that was one of the

last times that people around the world saw them publicly. Then we

heard the news this week that Amber Heard was filing for divorce, citing

irreconcilable differences. Thank you very much.

More than 100 international medical experts have

published a letter urging the World Health Organisation

to consider whether the Olympics Games,

due to open in August, should be postponed or moved

from Rio de Janeiro because of the Zika virus threat.

The experts, from over a dozen countries,

said there was a clear threat to global public health.

They called on the WHO to set up a panel of specialists to advise

On Thursday, the head of the Atlanta-based Centers

for Disease Control said the Zika outbreak in Brazil did not pose

enough of a threat to warrant cancelling the Olympic Games.

The US military says the leader of so-called Islamic State forces

in the Iraqi city of Falluja has been killed in fighting along

A US colonel said more than 20 coalition air strikes have destroyed

IS positions over the past four days.

The UN says hundreds of families have escaped the besieged city -

although thousands remain trapped - as Iraqi government forces attempt

to recapture the area from the Islamic State group.

Some 50,000 civilians still remain trapped inside Falluja and they are

prevented from escaping by Isil as the government continues, the city

continues to come under heavy bombardment by the Iraqi forces.

Food has been in very short supply. We are hearing accounts of people

are relying on expired rice and dried dates and that is about it for

their diet. We have also heard reports of starvation related deaths

among the population there. This is from the people we have interviewed,

or our partners have interviewed, who have escaped.

Iraqi soldiers have fired tear gas to disperse protesters gathered

near Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone.

Several protesters were injured in the incident.

Protesters loyal to the influential Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr have

been calling for comprehensive reforms for months.

A few weeks ago, demonstrators broke through the blast walls surrounding

the Green Zone and into Iraq's parliament and government offices.

Brazilian police are searching for more than 30 men -

suspected of raping a sixteen year old girl and then posting videos

The teenager reportedly went to her boyfriend's house in Rio de

Janeiro on Saturday before waking up naked and surrounded by armed men.

Arrest warrants have been issued, including one for the boyfriend.

Our correspondent described the timeline. The initial reports coming

out described what happened. She was apparently under the effects of

drugs, unconscious, and woke up surrounded by these men. That is

what she described to the police a day after having gone to visit her

boyfriend in a shanty town in Rio. And she was silent about what had

happened until the case came out on social media. This video was posted

on social media, a 42nd video showing her naked and with men

surrounding and jeering -- a 40-2nd video showing. This was on top of

all the pain she had gone through. It has caused an outrage on social

media and lots of angry reaction here with people calling for an end

to this situation, an end to what they are calling a culture of rape

in Brazil. In 2014, there were 50,000 cases of rape reported and

there is a fear that that is still under reported because so many

victims fear coming forward, fear talking about what happened in case

they are stigmatised or even blamed. I suppose that is reflected not just

in the video that was circulated but the comments left on it. Some people

say that she deserved what she got? Exactly. It was a terrible moment of

congratulatory comments filled with misogyny at first and then later on

we saw other voices come in and add to the discussion with outrage and

anger about what had happened. The first comments were taken off-line.

But I think it is a very clear example of how things are twisted,

how the victim is made to blame. There was lots of information about

her, that she was a drug user, that she was 16 and already has a

three-year-old child and that is suddenly being used to question her

behaviour. But she posted a comment on Facebook thanking people for

their support and said that she had expected to be badly judged by

society and it was a relief that she was getting all this engagement to

defend her and defend women's writes.

Stay with us on BBC World News, still to come:

estranged wife, Amber Heard, after she accused him of hitting her. Now

let's turn to the sports news. Jose Mourinho says it is a special

honour to be appointed manager of United. He replaces Louis Van Gaal.

It has taken several days of negotiations to agree the deal. The

53-year-old has won league titles with every club he has managed and

appears as focused as ever on making this new job a success. I want to

win and more than that, I need the supporters and the players to feel

that I say that but I think we can really. It is not just to say it.

So, yes I want to focus on the history of this giant club and give

what I have and what I don't have so I will give absolutely everything.

It is two weeks ago before the European champ and ships in France.

It busy time for international friendlies. England are 2-1 up

against Australia, Marcus Rushford becoming the youngest England player

to score on his debut. Northern Ireland are up against

Belarus. The world number two, Andy Murray,

has booked his place in the last 16 of Roland Garros, finally enjoying a

straightforward match with a straightforward win over Croatia's

Evo Karlovic. He took the first two sets in an hour but Karlovic pushed

him all the way in the third and Murray eventually took it 7-6. He

will face another big server in round four. I served quite smart for

the most part. A high percentage of first serves, quite a bit into his

body, as a bigger guy he is not -- it is not as easy for him to get out

of the way. And then my first job after the server, I was making him

move and dictating some of those points. So that was positive.

wrist injury. The International Olympic

Association -- committee has said that registry competitors have

failed drugs test. More could be coming out in the coming weeks.

Samples were retested based on intelligence gathering and athletes

from five different sports and six countries

tested positive. If you remember in the lead up to 2012, organisers said

they had state-of-the-art facilities which would make it hard for drug

cheats to evade the system. They were going to check more blood and

urine samples and an unprecedented amount, more than any other games.

But you can only test for what you know people are taking. So sometimes

there is a time lag. That is why there is a time lag. That is why

they store the samples and they go back and test when testing

procedures become more sophisticated. The worrying thing is

that the IOC said that this process is ongoing so there are

possibilities of more tests to come. Concerns are raging over the Zika

virus. 100 medical experts urge for the games to be postponed or move.

The letter was sent to the world of organisation. And that is the sport.

The final verdict in an historic human rights trial is expected

Operation Condor was a campaign of state-sponsored terror organised

by South American dictatorships in the 1970s.

The US-backed regimes conspired to hunt down,

kidnap and kill political opponents across South America and beyond,

as Irene Caselli reports from Buenos Aires.

40 years ago, this woman was kidnapped and held illegally in this

before being sent back home. In the before being sent back home. In the

process, she was separated from her son, Simon. They were reunited 26

years later. TRANSLATION:

I think that I spent most of the time here. The cold was terrible,

but the screen were worse. The screams of those who were being

tortured were the first things you heard, and they made you shiver.

That is why there was a radio blasting day and night. What hurts

me most here is the staircase. They took you upstairs and that is where

the questioning and torture darted. I think I screamed, I realised it

was a sign of life, and it was was a sign of life, and it was

impossible to hold back. If you scream, the others knew you were

alive. During the Cold War, South American dictatorships came together

to systematically eliminate leftist opponents. It was a transnational

plan called Operation Condor. Over the past three years, the historic

trial in Argentina has specifically focused on this conspiracy.

TRANSLATION: This trial has focused on other

trials. There are huge numbers of documents. We are not focusing in

one trial or in one country. We are looking at what happened in Uruguay,

Brazil, and Chile. Uruguayans like this woman consider Friday's trial

particularly significant because courts in her country have never

tried ex-military for torture. Along a fellow defendants, there is a

fellow Uruguayan. It is a milestone in human rights. In the past we had

international courts but we have international courts but we have

here a domestic court here in Argentina which is prosecuting

transnational crimes that were committed in an organised fashion by

Sikh states in Latin America. Testimonies of survivors of torture

centres have been fundamental in determining the scope of Operation

Condor. Today, 40 years later, many people will finally see some

justice. Now - if ever someone

birthday, as is Winnie the blue. To celebrate this, the story has been

written, Winnie the pool and the Royal birthday.

That harm is fit for a Queen... Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Christopher

Robin and Dior. Much like characters have a new adventure in Buckingham

Palace. The story is narrated by the actor Jim Broadbent. It's a lovely

story, celebrating the Queen's 90th birthday and also Winnie the Pooh's

90th birthday. My first there was named Pooh after him. I had to, but

he was always the favourite. It is an honour to narrate a brand-new

story. The first Winnie the Pooh book was published by AA Milner in

1936. Christopher Robin was named 1936. Christopher Robin was named

after his son. One of the first books was dedicated to the Royal

Princess Elizabeth. From childhood, she was declared to be a fan. But

the two have not been able to meet. There was a starring in the crowd.

It's the Queen! The Queen is coming! And she was greeting the crowd as

she met -- as she went. Winnie the she met -- as she went. Winnie the

Pooh passed by Harrods which is described in the story as a grand

old shop which Winnie the Pooh found the familiar. Fans will know that it

is familiar because the story is based on a real teddy bear bought

from Harrods. This is what the original one was like. Christopher

Robin's mother bought this in 1930 14 Christopher Robin's first

birthday. She did not know then that he would turn into the most famous

bear in the world. He was a British made teddy bear, 18 inches, and

would have cost 13 shillings and sixpence, the equivalent of ?27

nowadays. Today, Winnie the Pooh has been translated into more than 40

languages. In this latest tale, he meets a new generation. The Queen is

said to have been happy for the project to go ahead, celebrating a

very happy birthday with an old friend.
