It is the deadliest bombing in Iraq this year. | :00:00. | :00:24. | |
More than 125 people have been killed. | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
One attack took place near a Shia mosque in KarrAda district. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
Explosives on a truck were detonated in an area full of people | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
as they were breaking their fast during Ramadan. | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
A second bomb went off later in the north of the city. | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
The group has been losing territory in recent months including the city | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
of Falluja recaptured from IS a week ago. | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
Haider al-Abadi was met by a furious crowds - who pelted his car | :00:51. | :00:59. | |
with rocks and bottles as he tried to visit the area. | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
Here's our Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen sent | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
The bombs and the fires consumed so many lives. | :01:06. | :01:22. | |
It's supposed to be a sacred and festive season. | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
The last few days of the holy month of Ramadan. | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
The attack happened at around 1am in the morning. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
The streets were full and the shops were open. | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
This was the so-called Islamic State's latest gift | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
The people who gathered there during the day were furious | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
that the jihadist so-called Islamic State seem to be able | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
So when the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi came to inspect the damage | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
and pay his respects, they forced him to make | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
He says that Iraqis are like sheep among wolves. | :01:52. | :02:01. | |
Everyone is coming to eat their flesh. | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
Islamic State Sunni extremists said they were targeting Shia Muslims. | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
Sectarian war started in the chaos and violence that was unleashed | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
by the American and British invasion of Iraq in 2003. | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
It still continues and it's about power more than religion. | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
The main reason why IS attacked was the defeat they've just | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
It means they've lost a stronghold less than an hour's | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
All the destruction and killing add up to a clear message | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
from the jihadists of so-called Islamic State. | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
That they may be defeated on the battlefield, | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
but they are still able to hit back where it hurts most, | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
by killing civilians in the heart of this capital city | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
Iraq has not had a day of real peace since the invasion in 2003. | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
This coming week, Britain publishes its official | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
Plenty of Iraqis have already made up their minds. | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
That the invaders pushed them into an agony without an end. | :03:13. | :03:23. | |
I spoke to Martin Navias from the Centre for Defence Studies | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
about his reading of the attack and what it tells us | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
Iraqi government has been trying to create a secure perimeter around | :03:29. | :03:38. | |
Baghdad for years, but Islamic State appears able to penetrate it with | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
ease and this attack is one of a stream of attacks where they are | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
trying to exacerbate the sectarian tensions that you mention, undermine | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
confidence in the government, and demonstrate, as the reporter says, | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
that they are still in the game. There have been a number of setbacks | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
on the battlefield but the fact remains that the Islamic State | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
remain with significant territory, important power bases and can put up | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
a strong fight. What they demonstrated today is that while | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
they have lost Falluja, they can take the battle into the heart of | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
the Iraqi capital and create devastating damage. This is a | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
terrible week in terms of terrorism, there has been an attack on Istanbul | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
and Bangladesh, is the group focusing on international terrorism | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
as well as their targets at home? The group has a panoply of targets, | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
number one it is retreating somewhat in the face of the pressure of the | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
Iraqi army and the Kurds, in Syria, it is under pressure also from the | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
Kurds and the Syrian government. But nevertheless it retains the | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
capability to strike terror, both within Iraq and Syria and throughout | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
the world. Yes they are trying to demonstrate that they remain a | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
credible force. Now, the Iraqi government has said under this | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
president that he wishes to destroy the Islamic State, in Mosul, is | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
capital, Iraq this year. The Americans have disabused him of that | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
notion, they are saying that Iraqis are not ready for that at time | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
being. The Islamic State is still a powerful force with tens of | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
thousands of fighters and an ability to project these fighters into South | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
Asia, throughout the Middle East and to Europe as well. I don't believe, | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
that despite these setbacks, that they are facing the end in the near | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
future. I don't believe that is the case. If you look at the battles | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
that have taken place. They are retreating, they're not fighting to | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
the last man in each city, the Iraqi army to meet doesn't look capable | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
sophisticated attacks, they are destroying these places in order to | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
save them and so sectarian tensions are exacerbating, Islamic State | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
remains in place, and a long battle remains in the future. | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
The Pakistan Indian governments have dispatched their military | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
to help in a rescue operation, after flash flooding | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
The worst hit district in Pakistan is ChitRal, in the north. | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
Officials in India say at least thirty people have been killed | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
in the states of Uttara-khand and Arunchal Pradesh. | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
A Turkish ship carrying humanitarian aid for Gaza has arrived | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
It's the first aid ship sent by Turkey since the two countries | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
agreed last week to restore relations after a six-year rift. | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
The dispute was caused by an Israeli raid on an aid flotilla to Gaza that | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
Now the fight is on to become Britain's next Prime Minister. | :06:53. | :07:03. | |
And three of the leading candidates - have agreed that there SHOULD be | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
But they've laid out quite different plans - | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
on how quickly the country should leave the EU. | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
Here's our political correspondent Ben Wright | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
on the surface, this stretch of Conservative England appears Serena. | :07:19. | :07:34. | |
But in Buckinghamshire Garden this afternoon, a hot topic to discuss. | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
The key thing that we need at the moment is a leader | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
and a statesman and that's the kind of thing that will drive | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
They are weighing up Theresa May, one of the five Tory leadership | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
candidates and the current favourite. | :07:50. | :07:50. | |
Today, the Home Secretary said if she won, she would not | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
We have got this huge issue of negotiating Brexit. | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
We have got concerns about stability in the economy | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
and the future of the UK, and I think if we were to | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
have an early general election it would just introduce another | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
I don't think it would be good for the economy | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
Theresa May campaigned for Britain to stay in the EU, | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
unlike Michael Gove, who clawed his way into the race | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
after abandoning his former Leave campaign ally Boris Johnson, | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
the man he had recommended as a potential Prime Minister. | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
I took the decision very late on Wednesday evening. | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
I went to bed at 1:30am in the morning. | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
I reflected on it, I woke up early in the morning and decided... | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
I decided in conscience I could not make that recommendation. | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
It is Tory party members, around 140,000 of them, | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
who will choose between two candidates short listed | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
by Conservative MPs, so their views matter. | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
Gove has shot himself in the foot, that's the end of him. | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
I think she's a good level-headed person. | :08:44. | :08:52. | |
I think she probably has the least enemies. | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
Something these days in the Conservative Party! | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
But I also found fans of Andrea Leadsom, who campaigned | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
She knows what needs to be done, she's a woman with conviction. | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
Today, Andrea Leadsom tried to brush off remarks she had made three years | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
ago suggesting that the UK should be in the EU and in her view | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
the next Prime Minister had to have voted for Brexit. | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
Somebody who says I've been told vote for Leave with no enthusiasm | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
is very different to someone who sees the sunlit uplands | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
of leaving the EU, the prospects for our children, our grandchildren, | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
our business, of being open to the world. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
These are some of the people who will pick the next Tory | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
There is disagreement over who that person should be but everybody | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
recognises the next Prime Minister has a really tough job uniting | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
Ben Wright, BBC News, Taplow in Buckinghamshire. | :09:47. | :09:56. | |
Well that contest was triggered by the UK's vote to leave the EU | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
and more than a week on - it continues to send | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
While German politicians are warning that Britain won't be | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
given special treatment - farmers and other businesses | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
are worried about future trading relationships. | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
Here's our Berlin Correspondent Jenny Hill. | :10:10. | :10:18. | |
Expect Germany to drive a hard bargain. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
Too early to say here whether Brexit will be bad for business. | :10:24. | :10:33. | |
TRANSLATION: If Britain doesn't want to stay in the EU, | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
The negotiations must benefit the EU. | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
To give Britain concessions again is completely out of the question. | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
German farmers have problems of their own. | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
The price of milk, red tape and a relationship with Brussels | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
There is throughout Germany a sadness at Britain's | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
departure, and a concern, too, about the impact of Brexit. | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
But overwhelmingly now, the focus is shifting | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
to the future and how to reshape the EU without Britain. | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
And on that note, Germany's voice carries. | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
For its farmers, here at their annual meeting, | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
there is a trading relationship to protect. | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
Britain is Germany's third largest export market. | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
I know the European Union and the UK want to be good neighbours, | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
and the single market is a base on which we could do that. | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
But I want to assure farmers in the United Kingdom that | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
their benefits and their payments and their schemes will | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
continue until such time as the negotiations are complete. | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
Angela Merkel is likely to be central to those talks. | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
Like other EU leaders, she faces Euroscepticism, | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
not to mention a general election next year. | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
One point must be clear, there will be no cherry picking, | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
so as we always said, if Great Britain leaves | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
the European Union, it's not possible to stay in some terms | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
within the European Union, for instance, concerning | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
It's not what Germany wanted, it's not what Germany expected, | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
but Brexit is already changing Europe's political landscape. | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
Stay with us on BBC World News, still to come: | :12:23. | :12:37. | |
And the truth is still out there ...we link up with World's UFO | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
festival in where else...Roswell New Mexico. | :12:46. | :13:51. | |
here are the world headlines. New fears over Iraq security after two | :13:52. | :14:00. | |
blast in Baghdad kill more than 125 people. | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
Let's go to Bangladesh where the authorities are insisting - | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
I.S militants were NOT responsible for an attack on a cafe in Dhaka | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
That's despite a claim made by the group - | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
who released photos of the alleged attackers posing with an I.S flag. | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
Ministers say the gunmen were well-educated and came | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
One suspect who survived - is being interrogated by police. | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
A candlelit tribute to those who died in a terrifying attack. | :14:30. | :14:40. | |
Flowers placed at the lane leading to the cafe where it took place. | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
Some of the victims were Bangladeshi. | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
Foreigners, mostly from Japan and Italy would come here to work. | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
Back home, their families are trying to come to terms with their loss. | :14:55. | :15:05. | |
This is so unbearable as a parent, he said I'm leaving now and I said | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
to be careful and that was the last conversation I had on the telephone. | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
Dhaka is now in a heightened state of alert but for | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
Mourning the victims of its worst ever terrorist attack, | :15:19. | :15:32. | |
but the focus is also shifting to the seven men who carried it out. | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
Alarming details have emerged on who they were and what motivated | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
The question they are asking is how they managed to get into such | :15:40. | :15:48. | |
a secure and protected neighbourhood, virtually | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
Eyewitnesses say they were heavily armed. | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
One account described them as well trained and very sure | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
The authorities now say that all seven attackers, | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
one of whom was arrested, were local Bangladeshis | :16:01. | :16:01. | |
with no links to the so-called Islamic State. | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
They are said to be from affluent families who went to the country's | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
leading private schools and colleges, not from Islamic | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
seminaries from where militant groups often control recruits. | :16:10. | :16:10. | |
Japanese reporters at the crime scene, family victims are due | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
to arrive in a special plane later today. | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
The international spotlight is now Bangladesh, it has experienced | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
Islamist violence before but this now represents an altogether | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
Australia's Prime Minister says he remains confident his coalition | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
will emerge victorious - despite the country's | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
Most of the votes have been counted but the result | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
is still too close to call - and we may not have a clear | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
Well Australia has voted its general election but the country now faces | :16:37. | :16:50. | |
an anxious wait to find out who will form its next government. As it | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
stands around 80% of all though it had been counted but it is certainly | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
not clear yet who is going to win. Neither the governing conservative | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
coalition of the opposition Labour Party had been able to secure an | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
absolute majority. They are relatively neck and neck so | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
Australians as well as you and I will have the wait until all of the | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
votes are counted. That weight will be | :17:13. | :17:23. | |
longer than you might think. Counting when start-up in full until | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
Tuesday, why is that? Elections in most countries are a logistical | :17:28. | :17:29. | |
challenge and Australia is no different, it is not just about | :17:30. | :17:31. | |
counting votes, but think about all of the postal votes from those | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
Australians travelling into state will living overseas. Gathering them | :17:34. | :17:35. | |
take some time so Sunday and Monday will be spent carefully sorting, | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
verifying and packaging the huge number of postal votes sent in so | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
they can be added to the cad when it starts again on Tuesday. The | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
electoral commission are taking particular care this year after more | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
than 1000 ballots went missing in a state election in 2013. That forced | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
voters back to the polls again, so this time around they are taking | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
extra care not to lose a single vote. The election in Australia has | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
been tight and nail-biting so far but for now, all we can do is wait. | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
Let us get some sport for you and here is Damien Johnson. | :18:12. | :18:20. | |
France look to be heading into the last four of Euro 20-16. | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
They lead the tournament's surprise package Iceland x-x | :18:24. | :18:25. | |
to an early goal from Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
their second shortly afterwards as they took complete control. | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
, West Ham's Dimitri Payet added a third. | :18:37. | :18:45. | |
They are into the second half and France lead 51, the second goal for | :18:46. | :18:57. | |
Olivier Giroud. French nmber 12 seed | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga beat American John Isner 19-17 | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
in the fifth set of a gripping match Tsonga won after four hours and 24 | :19:05. | :19:06. | |
minutes on court two. On the women's side, Serena Williams | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
won through to a fourth-round clash against Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
- the number one seed demolished German Annika Beck as Alex Gulrajani | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
reports. Wimbledon ready opens its doors on a | :19:19. | :19:27. | |
Sunday, and those lucky to get in had their eyes on one match in | :19:28. | :19:28. | |
particular. After dropping three games in the | :19:29. | :19:56. | |
opening set, the second lasted barely 20 | :19:57. | :20:05. | |
minutes. The match between John Isner and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, was | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
anything but a swift affair. Six years ago you will remember, John | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
Isner beat Nicolas Mahut in the longest match in history winning the | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
final set 70 games to 68, it was another marathon against Tsonga | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
though not quite as long. This time his know was the loser, 19-17 in the | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
final set. Pep Guardiola has been introduced to | :20:25. | :20:34. | |
Manchester city fans as their new manager. The former Boston and by | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
Munich boss was named as the successor back in favourite but | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
takes over this summer. Thank you for coming here, in of course you | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
house, it is my new house. I am so, so glad to be here, thank you to | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
Manchester city for giving me this amazing opportunity to live in | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
England. In Manchester, to be part of my job in the Premier League, I | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
am pretty sure we are going to enjoy it. I proved myself where I was born | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
in Barcelona, Catalonia, then I proved myself in Deutschland, in | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
Germany. And after, I want to prove myself here, with my people and with | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
my staff and of course with the amazing players. But at the end, | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
what I want after the game, after the season, the people, the | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
supporters, maybe the people who love football, can enjoy had to be | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
proud of what we did. That is in the end the most important thing. After | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
that, maybe we can achieve the titles. If the people are not proud | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
of us, there is nothing to do. One of my dreams would be to play her | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
like a football player, it is not possible but now my dream is come | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
true. I came here like a coach, like Liverpool player, of course the | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
atmosphere here is amazing. And I want to live that in life, and of | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
course, to prove myself if I'm able to be a good manager here in | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
England, that is the reason why. And to come here to learn. | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
Just time to tell you that Lewis Hamilton has won the Austrian Grand | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
Prix. That is all for now. Roswell in New Mexico USA was put | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
on the map in 1947 when aliens steering a UFO allegedly crashed | :22:20. | :22:28. | |
in their spacecraft. Since then, it's become something | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
of a shrine for paranormal fans - and this weekend it's hosting | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
the 2016 UFO Alien Festival - with Let's speak to a UFO investigative | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
that has been looking into the Roswell crash for fifteen | :22:39. | :22:47. | |
years. what do you think of UFO spotting, | :22:48. | :22:59. | |
is it as popular as it used to be? UFO spotting is more popular than | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
ever. Especially with the electronic devices that people have. They can | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
take photographs, videos on the spot, so yes, much more than in the | :23:11. | :23:18. | |
past. UFO spotting is certainly on the increase I would believe. But in | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
the 1950s, that Cold War era, there was a real flurry of the sightings | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
and that seems to have tailed off? For the modern age of UFOs did arise | :23:30. | :23:37. | |
in 1947, and it has basically continued unabated. As to why, it | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
appeared in 1947 as opposed to any other year, we don't know. We | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
suspect it had sunk to do with World War II, and the invention of atomic | :23:49. | :23:56. | |
weapons. But to answer your question, I don't think it has | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
tailed off. That is all I can tell you. There are more reports than | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
ever. I do have some statistics, from the UFO network, if you are | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
interested, but that is up to you. Could you tell me a bit about the | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
technology, and how it has moved on? Yes, back in the 1950s, we had no | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
cellphones, we had no video cameras, we just had eyewitness reports | :24:27. | :24:36. | |
verbatim. That was basically it, now you have absolute video in most | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
cases. So things moving about in the sky that we cannot explain. So it is | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
the video effect. That has really taken off, at least in my opinion | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
because I remember the 1950s. I'm so sorry to interrupt you, we have run | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
out of time I'm afraid. Don Carey from Roswell, thank you very much. | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
That is it from us and the programme. That is the world | :25:04. | :25:04. |
