A four-year project to unlock the closed world at the bottom | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
underground for a festival in an Icelandic volcano. | :00:44. | :01:13. | |
Government forces in Iraq may have claimed victory in Fallujah | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
but they now face a battle of a different kind. | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Aid agencies say a humanitarian disaster is unfolding - | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
with refugee camps like this one buckling under the pressure. | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
The UN says 80,000 people have fled over four weeks of intense fighting | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
between the government and the so-called Islamic State. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Inside the city, people are trapped without food and water. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
With more, here's Our Middle East Editor Alan Johnston | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
The Iraqi army has been driving forward hard. | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
In a major offensive, it has thrust into | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
Islamic State fighters used to own these streets. | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
Now, they belong to the government's forces. | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
They have pushed the militants back, seized most of the city. | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
But the army's fight is far from over. | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
IS is holding out in some neighbourhoods. | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
And as the soldiers come at them in street after street, | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
they are hitting back - sending out suicide | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
One report said 20 soldiers died in clashes near a hospital | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
And all around on this battle ground, there is the wreckage | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
Reminders of ordinary lives ruined by the war. | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
The people who raised families and went to work in the streets | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
Tens of thousands of Falluja's people have come to camps | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
like this, where there is not enough of anything - | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
But even this is better than what these children endured | :02:56. | :03:07. | |
back in Falluja under Islamic State rule. | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
TRANSLATION: The IS militia promised us food, | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
We wanted to flee, but they hemmed us in. | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
There was no gas, and the schools were closed. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
What there was were rockets, air force jets and tanks. | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Now the aid agencies must care for this mass of people. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
And that is posing a major challenge in this desperate, desolate place. | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
Right now as we speak there are thousands without any | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
They have slept overnight out in the open. | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
They are now stranded out there in a sandstorm under | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
the sweltering sun without any protection. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
And the question of latrines, toilets, sanitation. | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
If we don't get those in order in the next hours, | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
Just an hour's drive from the misery of the refugee camps, | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
In Baghdad, they have been celebrating what they see | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
But the feeling among these people in the capital is that, | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
very slowly and very painfully, the war against the | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
Well, in neighbouring Turkey police in Istanbul have fired rubber | :04:24. | :04:33. | |
It's after gay, lesbian and transgender activists | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
defied a ban and marched through the city's streets. | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
The authorities said the rally would NOT allowed | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
But organisers said the ban is a 'flagrant violation | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
of the constitution and law' and marched anyway. | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
Defy authority in today's Turkey, and this is what happens. Police | :04:53. | :05:08. | |
firing tear gas and rubber bullets against those daring to march for | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
gay rights. Today was meant to be the Trans Pride, but it, along with | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
next week's Gay Pride was prohibited by the Government. Those refusing to | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
accept the ban were attacked. The scuffles begun when an anti-Pride | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
protester destroyed one of the banners. The government said it had | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
to cancel the rallies because of threats from nationalists groups but | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
protesters say that's caving into pressure. Gay Pride marches have | :05:39. | :05:49. | |
been held in Istanbul since 2003. But last year, for the first time, | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
it was broken up, allegedly for disturbing the Muslim festival of | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
Ramadan. Although it is always held in the same period. Critics say it | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
is another sign that democracy in Turkey is being squeezed and human | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
rights violated. Last night more tear gas against those protesting | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
about an attack on music fans by Muslim groups, another sign of | :06:14. | :06:22. | |
Turkey's secularisation. Social tensions in an unhappy country, once | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
again, reaching boiling point. Landslides and flash flooding have | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
killed at least 24 people Days of torrential rain left | :06:29. | :06:36. | |
thousands of homes buried under mud. Such heavy rain is common | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
on the group of islands where millions of people live | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
in areas close to rivers. Firefighters in southern California | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
are struggling to control a blaze which has forced hundreds of people | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
from their homes. The fire in Santa Barbara County | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
burnt through more than three thousand hectares - | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
with extreme wind conditions whipping up destructive columns | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
of swirling flames. Thousands of people have been | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
protesting on the Japanese island of Okinawa against the presence | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
of US troops and bases. The protesters are angry | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
about the alleged rape and murder of a young local woman by a former | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
US marine living on the island. The incident has reawakened | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
widespread opposition to American Here in the UK, campaigning has | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
resumed ahead of next Thursday's referendum on whether to remain | :07:21. | :07:34. | |
in the European Union. Both pro and anti EU forces had | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
suspended their campaign following the killing | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
of the MP Jo Cox. Once again the debate has focused | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
on the key areas of the economy and immigration, with some | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
in the Leave campaign wanting to distance themselves | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
from the tactics of the UK Our correspondent | :07:49. | :07:57. | |
Ben Wright reports. The hurly-burly has returned, | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
the referendum has resumed. On this Fathers' Day, | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
here is one father who did not spend You have done a great job, | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
you have put on the Stanley Johnson roused the Remain | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
campaign, Boris rallied Leave campaigners on the | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
other side of London. Take back control of | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
huge sums of money. As this bitterly fought referendum | :08:19. | :08:30. | |
enters its final day, immigration has again entered the debate. | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
I am the proud descendant of Turkish immigrants. | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
Let me stun you by saying I will go further, I am in favour | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
of an amnesty for illegal immigrants who have been here for | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
This is a Leave campaign straining not to sound divisive | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
or inflammatory on the issue at the heart of their case | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
They have distanced themselves from this, a poster unveiled by Ukip | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
showing migrants walking to a refugee camp in Slovenia. | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
It has drawn criticism from the official Leave campaign. | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
I believe the way we secure public support for the benefits that | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
migration brings and for helping refugees in need is if people feel | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
they can control the numbers overall coming here. | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
This morning, Ukip's leader stood by the poster and objected | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
Michael Gove had better look at his own posters, Abu Hamza, | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
warnings about terrorists and murderers coming into Britain | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
Labour's leader said migration pressure would not disappear | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
if Britain left the EU and was asked if there could be | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
I don't think you could have one while you have free movement | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
of labour, and that means you have to balance the economy, | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
so you have to improve living standards and conditions. | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
George Osborne said legitimate concerns about immigration | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
were being felt in every Western country, but this referendum had | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
Rich international investors are taking their money out | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
of Britain, they are delaying investment, the stock market has | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
gone down, sterling has been marked down. | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
The British people cannot take their money out, they will be | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
left with their livelihoods in Britain on Friday if we vote | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
to leave, and they will be the people paying the price. | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
As this Leave rally shows, the campaign will be hard | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
fought until the end, because there is one point both | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
This week's vote is a massive choice, an irreversible | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
After a sombre three-day pause, this referendum campaign | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
is back at full pelt, and soon you will have your say. | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
British MP, Jo Cox, was remembered today with a memorial service | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
in the town of Birstall in West Yorkshire, where | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
Our correspondent Ed Thomas was there. | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
It is four days since this town lost its MP. | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
A husband a wife, two young children a mother. | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
A place for people to reflect, on Jo Cox' life | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
She represented love and peace for all the religions, | :11:21. | :11:30. | |
it did not matter what colour or creed you are. | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
I hope it brings the community together and that her memory lives | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
on and that what she fought for people continue to fight for. | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
Today, she was remembered at St Peter's Anglican Church | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
in Birstall, the town she served, the place she called home. | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
Her humanity was powerful and compelling. | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
We would do well to recognise her as an amazing example, | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
Today, this message from Brendan Cox, her husband. | :12:09. | :12:31. | |
Already, a memorial fund in her name has raised more than ?600,000. | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
What is striking here is not just the number of flowers that have been | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
brought down, it is the messages that come with them. | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
They are personal, genuine, and they tell the story of how | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
Somebody who represented everybody, what Britain was really about, | :12:53. | :13:03. | |
and somebody who could represent what Britain should be about. | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
Tomorrow, Parliament will be recalled, MPs from all sides | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
will come together to speak of a friend and colleague. | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
Stay with us on BBC News, still to come: | :13:16. | :13:31. | |

achievement. I might be able to persuade the wife, if I could, to | :14:46. | :14:49. | |

Today. Here are our main headlines: Aid workers in rye rack have warned | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
that a-up tearian disaster sun following, following a mass exodus | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
of civilians from the city of Falluja. -- -- | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
Aid workers in Iraq have warned that a humanitarian disaster is unfolding | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
following a mass exodus of civilians from the city of Falluja. | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
Karl Schkembri from the Noreegian Refugee Counil explained to me | :15:20. | :15:21. | |
the difficulties faced by the displaced people. | :15:22. | :15:22. | |
The thousands who have gone out of Falluja in their droves now are | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
obviously exhausted. They have walked for long hours and they are | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
hungry, they are thirsty. They need shelt and were text and they need | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
medicine and we are lacking a bit of everything. We are running out of | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
safe drinking water, food is running out. There are no tents for many of | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
them. Thousands are staying out in the scorching heat, in the sun, | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
sleeping out in the open in the middle of nowhere and apocalyptic | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
scenarios where sand is unavoidable and I have met handicapped people, | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
pregnant women, children, who are totally totally exhausted and it is | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
unacceptable that they have just fled from one humanitarian disaster | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
and stepping into another one. You describe a very desperate scene. Why | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
is it that we have this situation, because we knew the government was | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
going to go into Falluja, didn't we? Indeed. We have been warning about | :16:21. | :16:29. | |
the unfolding disaster even before we had this mass exodus of at least | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
30,000 people in just about three days. The problem is that the local | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
authorities, the government and the United Nations need to step in and | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
we need international donors to fund this will emergency. We are running | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
out of funding. Iran has a croppies displacement problem. We have been | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
seeing millions, now - over 3.3 million Iraqis since the beginning | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
of this year and the funding has only covered less than 30%. Now on | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
top of all that, we have Falluja and soon we are going to have other | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
places. This is not going to end and we have been to the government and | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
it the international community and to international governments, our | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
appeal is you cannot forget the thousands of civilians, after you | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
have just retaken Falluja, you cannot abandon them there in the | :17:27. | :17:27. | |
middle of nowhere. British scientists are leading | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
an international mission to reveal the secrets of the deep Atlantic | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
Ocean. The ATLAS project - | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
which involves teams from around the world - | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
will spend four years exploring unknown ecosystems and measuring | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
the changing ocean currents - as our science correspondent | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
Victoria Gill explains. Half a mile beneath the surface of | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
the ocean and teeming with life. But this is far from tropical waters, | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
it's the chilly Atlantic off Britain's North coast. It is just a | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
glimpse of the hidden treasures that a new scientific endeavour is | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
setting out to explore. At ATLAS project is an international | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
four-year mission into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean ATLAS is the | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
biggest project looking at deep Atlantic eco-systems ever | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
undertaken, by working through the plan we have, we will have a better | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
understand of how eco-systems function in the deep ocean and will | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
have a better understanding of them in the feature. This involves 24 | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
institutions around the North at loan tivenlingt 25 vessels will go | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
out to explore over a dozen deep sites throughout the ocean. As on | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
island nation our seas seem so familiar. The coast is so much a | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
part of our lives but you only have to go about 100 miles offshore | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
before there are areas that we know very, very little B and there are | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
rich eco-systems out there already being impacted by climate change and | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
that are already being explored by industries like fishing and oil and | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
gas extraction. Pick up the GPS every time it comes to the surface | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
and it'll send the data back to Scotland. As well as working from | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
research vessels, scientists will use remote devices to take | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
continuous measurements of ocean chemistry and currents that affect | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
our climate. These can remain at see for months at a time, gathering | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
information that researchers say is needed urgently Humans are having a | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
large impact on the planet. Until we can make the fundamental | :19:37. | :19:38. | |
measurements to understand how they are sustained and evolving, we have | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
no chance of managing our natural resources. The vast majority of the | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
ocean remains unexplored, undiscovered. This mission aims to | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
address that in the Atlantic, before we exploit eco-systems we don't yet | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
understand. We start at Euro 2016 | :19:56. | :20:05. | |
where the final two matches The hosts France are playing | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
Switzerland in Lille. Only France from this group are sure | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
of their place in the knockout stages but the top spot in the Group | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
is still up for grabs. Plenty of chances for France but it | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
is gill goalless there. Romania and Albania are playing | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
in the other game in Lyon, only And an error by the Romanian | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
goalkeeper allowed Albania Nico Rosberg has extended his lead | :20:34. | :20:38. | |

Mercedes team mate Lewis Hamilton after winning the inaugural F1 | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
race in Azerbaijan. Rosberg started on pole | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
and led throughout the race to claim his fifth win | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
of the season. Ferrari's Sebastien Vettel | :20:50. | :20:51. | |
finished as runner up with Force India's Sergio Perez back | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
on the podium for the second Defending champion Lewis Hamilton | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
finished fifth. The leaders have begun their final | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
rounds at the US Open in Oakmont. Ireland's Shane Lowry had a four | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
shot lead at 7-under par They teed off just under an hour ago | :21:06. | :21:15. | |
but that lead has been halved. Dustin Johnson, the American | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
searching for his first Major, birdied the second hole. And Lee | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
Westwood has dropped two shots today, he slipped back to level par. | :21:23. | :21:25. | |

The Warriors had led 3-1 in the series, it's now 3-all. | :21:34. | :21:35. | |
No side has ever won after being 3-1 down in a series. | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
I came back for a reason, to bring the Championship to the city of | :21:42. | :21:50. | |
Cleveland to the north East Ohio and all Cavalier fans in the world. That | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
has been my goal. I don't want to add too much more pressure on T I | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
will go out and trust what I have been able to do, the work I have put | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
into it and my team-mates have put into it and you go out there and see | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
what happens. I don't feel any extra pressure, | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
which is good. I just understand and want to enjoy the moment because | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
growing up as a baseball fan, you kind of put yourself in so many game | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
to win the finals in several situations, playing with your | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
friends and stuff and this is my first crack at T so excited about | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
it. I understand we have had two sub-par games and we need it make a | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
couple of adjustments but we are capable of doing that. And resilient | :22:36. | :22:43. | |
baseball team that is ready for the opportunity. And that's what I'm | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
confident in. A huge night ahead in the NBA. | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
That's all the sport for now. Back to you. Thank you very much. | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
This weekend has seen the world's first ever | :22:54. | :22:55. | |
live music performance, inside a volcano. | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
It was part of a festival being held in Iceland, | :23:01. | :23:02. | |
and an attempt by organisers to stand out in the crowded | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
Chi Chi Izundu reports from the Thrinnukagigur volcano. | :23:06. | :23:14. | |
Not your average journey to a festival. | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
For this gig there are only two ways to get to the venue. | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
A hike across lava fields with the changeable Icelandic | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
weather or, if you can afford it, a short flight. | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
The price for this exclusivity, ?1,400. | :23:31. | :23:40. | |
The 20 tickets made available sold out in just ten days. | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
This volcano erupted 4,500 years ago, but they only allowed | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
the public to have access five years ago. | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
The journey to get to this part is via this special lift. | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
It would be the same nearly as me scaling Big Ben one | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
# Down, down, down, floating down a river... | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
Over the last decade, the explosion of festivals means | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
Annually, tens of thousands happen across Europe alone. | :24:15. | :24:22. | |
With the summer spent going from one to another, even this | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
When I was asked to do this, my first thought was, when will | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
But with the hefty price tag, was it worth it? | :24:32. | :24:51. | |
Even not knowing what bands were performing, I knew | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
Also to be part of something for the first time obviously merited it. | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
I don't want to leave, I will stay down here! | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
Events like this are not cheap to put on either, so it does not | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
The rapid deterioration of the weather meant | :25:08. | :25:16. | |
But the storm did not dampen spirits. | :25:17. | :25:31. | |
Snr a selfie a must on a volcano. The top stories: Aid workers in Iraq | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
have warned of a honourable member tearian disaster in the wake of a | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
mass exodus of civilians from the city of Falluja. Over the past few | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
days, tens of thousands of people have fled, as Government forces | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
drove back fighters from the so-called Islamic State group. | :25:51. | :25:51. | |
That's it from me. Goodbye for now. Good evening. Eastern areas enjoyed | :25:52. | :26:16. | |
the best of the Father's Day sunshine and | :26:17. | :26:17. |
