President Obama says America is united in sorrow | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
after the killing of five policemen in Dallas, but the actions of a few | :00:19. | :00:22. | |

he is no more representative of African Americans than the shooter | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
in Charleston was representative of white Americans. -- a demented | :00:33. | :00:35. | |

newspaper quoted her saying being a mother will make | :00:54. | :00:55. | |

continues to mourn the killings It happened it downtown Dallas - | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
during a peaceful march against the separate shootings | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
of two black men by police. Well in the last few hours - | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
President Obama has rejected the notion that - the country | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
has returned to some He said the main suspect - | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
Micah Johnson - who had told police he wanted to kill white people, | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
especially white officers - is not representative | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
of all African-Americans. We cannot let the actions of a few | :01:58. | :02:20. | |
define all of us. The demented individual who carried out those | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
attacks in Dallas, he is no more representative of African Americans | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
than the shooter in Charleston was representative of white Americans. | :02:29. | :02:38. | |
Or the shooter in Orlando, or San Bernardino, were representative of | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
Muslim Americans. -- nor were the shooters in Orlando, or San | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
Bernardino, representative of Muslim Americans. | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
Well after a search of Micah Johnson's house - | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
police found weapons and bomb-making material. | :02:58. | :02:58. | |
From Dallas - here's our North America correspondent - James Cook. | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
In Texas and across the United States, the men and women | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
The attack here in Dallas was the deadliest on | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Denise Saucedo's husband was an officer here for ten years. | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
We need to start loving one another, instead of hating one another. | :03:16. | :03:25. | |
Micah Johnson was a US reservist and served in Afghanistan. | :03:26. | :03:36. | |
His social media postings revealed an interest | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
He told police he wanted to kill white police officers. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Gunmen turning a peaceful protest into an act of violent revenge. | :03:42. | :03:54. | |
Police found bomb-making equipment and an arsenal of | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
But far from coming together after the latest killings, | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
In Atlanta and elsewhere thousands of Americans are still taking | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
to the streets to protest against the police. | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
In Dallas they are preparing to say goodbye to five police | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
officers who lost their lives in the line of duty. | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
At times it feels like this has become the motif | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
This time, the shrine is dominated by the colour blue. | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
But the flowers, the prayers, the heartbreaking messages | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
are the same, this, somehow, has become routine. | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
Our correspondent David Willis is in Dallas. | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
All their fears are where you are back there could be reprised | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
attacks? -- that there could be. There are concerns. But the | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
president today very much looking to dampen down any suggestions that | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
America is fundamentally divided along racial lines. He denied | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
suggestions that America had gone back to the bad racial relations of | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
the 1960s. He stressed there was unity in many forms. Unity amongst | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
Americans of all sorts of races and backgrounds in condemning the | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
attacks which took place just behind me a few days ago. He also said that | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
people needed to come together to support the police force, to give | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
them the backing they needed, whilst also the country addressed these | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
apparent disparities in the treatment of racial minorities by | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
the police force. As far as division and are concerned, Barack Obama made | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
no secret of the fact he believes America is polarised when it comes | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
to this issue of gun control. He said the reason there were tensions | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
in many communities here between the police and the public was because | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
the police went into those communities knowing that there were | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
a large number of guns. He is due here next week. He is cutting short | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
a trip to Europe. He will be looking to build consensus here on the | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
ground. This is a city which is not used the sort of things which took | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
place on Thursday night. A lot of people, nonetheless, will be looking | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
to the president to give them reassurance. Many are shocked and in | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
disbelief. Thank you. | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
The world's youngest country is facing renewed violence. | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
Reports from South Sudan say more than a hundred people, | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
mainly soldiers, have been killed in clashes between supporters | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
of President Salva Kiir and his former rival, | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
There's a heavy military presence on the streets | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
of the capital Juba and few people are venturing out. | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
Fierce fighting erupted outside Statehouse while president | :06:48. | :07:00. | |
Salva Kiir and his former enemy, Riek Machar, | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
They were giving a press conference about South Sudan's | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
many challenges, including a failing economy and outbreaks of | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
violence in many parts of the country. | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
The vice President's plea for people to stop fighting appeared | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
We are calling on all of the population, | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
all the South Sudanese, whether they are armed or not armed, | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
Your government is making efforts to ensure that the peace | :07:22. | :07:30. | |
The scene outside Statehouse was one of carnage. | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
A doctor said so many bodies were taken to the main | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
South Sudan is supposed to be marking its fifth | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
Instead violence has come to the heart of its capital city. | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
The country has been ripped apart by conflict for most of its young | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
Much of it between forces loyal to Salva Kiir and Riek Machar. | :08:02. | :08:09. | |
Tens of thousands of people have been killed and nearly 2 million | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
A number of peace deals have been signed, but so | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
Talk about Britain leaving the Europe has been overshadowed by the | :08:17. | :08:41. | |
Conservative leadership race. There has also been a row over the role of | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
motherhood by Andrea Leadsom. She suggested to the Times newspaper she | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
would be a better newspaper than her rival, Theresa May, because she is a | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
mother. Andrea Leadsom fiercely criticised the newspaper's coverage | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
but the Times newspaper stands by the story and released an -- a video | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
of the interview. The outside in the race, the | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
Eurosceptic energy minister who is exciting traditional Tories. | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
But the mother of three is facing criticism for an interview | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
in The Times in which she suggested being a parent makes her a better | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
This morning, outside her Northamptonshire home, | :09:22. | :09:42. | |
I was repeatedly asked about my children, and I repeatedly | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
made it clear that I did not want this to be in any way | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
I am disgusted at the way this has been presented. | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
I want to be crystal clear that everyone has an equal stake | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
in our society and in the future of our country. | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
But being a mum was a big part of her message during | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
I did a stint as city minister, and I am a mum. | :10:12. | :10:25. | |
It is clear that she wasn't trying to be cruel to Theresa May, but it | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
has shown her inexperience and, some say, her lack of judgment, crucial | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
if you want to be Prime Minister. Her team are making an official | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
complaint to The Times. The journalist who did the interview is | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
standing by her story. I don't think it is gutted journalism, it is | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
journalism. Accurate journalism. I asked a question, she answered, I | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
reported what she said. She is trying to become Prime Minister of | :10:55. | :10:55. | |
this country. Theresa May made a pledge | :10:56. | :11:13. | |
for a clean campaign. No official response from her today | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
but she reposted it on social media. Despite appeals for unity, | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
after a fractious referendum campaign, | :11:20. | :11:20. | |
the Conservative leadership campaign is already off | :11:21. | :11:21. | |
to a controversial start. There is concern over the threat | :11:22. | :11:31. | |
posed by the so-called Islamic State. And Russia's intervention in | :11:32. | :11:39. | |
the Ukraine. Our correspondent is at the summit. | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
The Nato alliance meets every two years. | :11:44. | :11:43. | |
The summit was described as decisive and historic. A lot of focus was on | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
putting the final details together of a new brigade which will stretch | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
across the eastern flank of Nato, across three Baltic states, as well | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
as eastern Poland. Three to 4000 troops being deployed in response to | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
a Russian threat, Nato says that exist in response to Russia's | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
seizure of Crimea in 2014. NU Corporation pact was also signed | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
with the European Union which will focus on everything from maritime | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
controls to cybercrime. But Russia was made the main topic in many of | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
the sessions. -- a new corporation pact. I asked them why they felt it | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
was necessary to deploy troops on the eastern borders. Because we see | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
a more assertive Russia. A Russia that has substantially built up its | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
military capabilities over many years. Which is training its forces | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
in a more aggressive posture. Which has used military force against | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
neighbours. And taken apart of another country, Crimea, and | :12:53. | :13:01. | |
therefore Nato needs to respond. It is responding in a proportionate | :13:02. | :13:10. | |
way. We need political dialogue, as well. A lot of emphasis on | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
solidarity and resolve here among Nato member states. But the US | :13:15. | :13:24. | |
president used this summit to remind the members that they had committed | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
to spending 2% of their GDP on defence. Something not all Nato | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
members are doing now. The majority of allies are still not hitting that | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
2% mark. An obligation we agreed to. We had a candid conversation about | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
this. There is a recognition, given the range of threats we face in the | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
capabilities we need, and everybody has to step up and everybody has to | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
do better. Barack Obama has now left this national football stadium here | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
in Warsaw. Nato leaders will leave this summit one by one. They didn't | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
go away without making another commitment, and that is to the | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
mission which has long been described as a defining mission for | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
the Nato alliance, and that is the involvement in Afghanistan. Many | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
Nato armies pulled out their combat troops in 2013 and 2014, but the US | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
is continuing to maintain 4500 troops. Many Nato countries are | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
still helping with training. When I spoke to Afghanistan's Chief | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
Executive Doctor I asked whether there was relief at a time when | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
Taliban attacks were on the rise. That's true. -- chief Executive | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
officer. But if you put it into context there were times when there | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
were 100,000 troops altogether, international troops, now despite | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
the high number of casualties that our people have suffered in | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
sacrifices that our troops have made, the burden of responsibility, | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
the large share of responsibility, is on the soldiers of our own | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
forces. That is a big change since 2002. It has never been like this. | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
So many Afghans have been asking when will this war end. 2015, the | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
highest number of casualties since they were recorded. 15,000 last year | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
and many more this year. That is the unfortunate suffering of our people | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
that has continued. If the security notion has changed worldwide, there | :15:41. | :15:49. | |
is a new phenomena called IS, and we are not immune to that. That brings | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
to an end another Nato summit. Along with other countries who are looking | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
to join, including Jordan and Macedonia. It was a summit where | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
they look East to this new brigade in response to a Russian threat. But | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
it is a threat they say they will deal with with a mixture of | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
deterrence and dialogue. They also looked west to the consequences of | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
Britain deciding to leave the European Union. There was some | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
anxiety over that. But also anxiety as Nato looks south, not just to the | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
continuing challenges in Afghanistan, but the rise of the | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
Islamic State, the efforts to stop it in Iraq and Syria. It also brings | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
to an end our coverage of this Warsaw summit. For me and our teams | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
at the national football stadium in Warsaw, it is goodbye and back to | :16:40. | :16:40. | |
you in London. She has done it again, Serena | :16:41. | :16:56. | |
Williams wins her seventh Wimbledon title in straight sets. | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
Angela Eagle has says she will announce a bit for the leadership of | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
the Labour Party on Monday. After accusing Jeremy Corbyn of failing to | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
lead an organised and effective opposition. The development comes | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
after Tom Watson called off talks with unions aimed at resolving the | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
stand-off. Jeremy Corbyn has said he will stay and fight any challenge | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
and called for unity in the party. This is about solidarity. The Tory | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
government tried to destroy it. We have a choice. Do we go together in | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
solidarity going forward to improve the lives of everyone, or do we | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
allow brutality to divide us? Brutality that divides us and | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
scapegoats minorities in order to turn us in on ourselves, rather than | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
unite against the forces that are trying to divide us. | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
This is BBC world News. The headlines: Barack Obama says America | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
is united in sorrow after the killing of five policemen in Dallas. | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
And that the actions of the few cannot define a country. | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
Reports from South Sudan saying more than 100 people, mainly soldiers, | :18:18. | :18:27. | |
have been killed in rival faction fighting. | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
People who knew Micah Johnson have been talking about their impressions | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
of him. Akwete Tyehimba is the owner | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
of a community book shop and met You met him back in May. What did | :18:42. | :18:55. | |
you make of him? That particular day was a positive day for our | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
community. We were having a Malcolm X community festival, celebrating | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
the birthday of Malcolm X. There could have been 600 people there | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
that day. He walked into the book store. Somebody introduced him to | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
me. He seemed to be a very strong, confident young man. Very polite. | :19:15. | :19:22. | |
Very nice. He was thrilled to be inside of a book shop like this. He | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
said he had never seen anything like this. All of this information on | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
history, you know, and everything like that. He seemed very confident. | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
Did he indicate it all some of the views he has expressed towards the | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
police, saying he wanted to shoot white people, particularly white | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
police officers? This is in the wake of the shooting of two black men by | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
police officers. Not at all. It was my first time meeting him, like I | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
said, and I did not see him any time after that. No, no expressions of | :19:59. | :20:06. | |
anger, no expressions of, you know, any type of radicalism. Just someone | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
who seemed to be searching for a sense of self. Someone who wanted to | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
be a part of changing humanity as a whole, I think. I just don't think I | :20:21. | :20:30. | |
had any idea of something like this. There have been several high-profile | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
shootings of black men by police officers in the United States. | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
Barack Obama said this cannot justify the actions of Micah | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
Johnson, but did he express any frustrations with the police force? | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
He did not express any frustrations at all with the police. But I think | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
many people here that day, as many people in America today expressed | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
frustrations of what we saw on the videos earlier this week. Two videos | :20:59. | :21:07. | |
showing point-blank shootings that resulted in two black men dying. I | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
think the frustrations were pretty high this week. We were all trying | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
to be proactive. Because we felt the tension in the air. Trying to plan | :21:18. | :21:25. | |
meetings later this week. But, you know, unfortunately later that | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
day... I'm interested in what you make of the shootings this week of | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
the five officers, and the two black men who were shot dead early in the | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
week. Of course, we are all saddened. To ask it was a very sad | :21:41. | :21:50. | |
day -- to us it was a very sad day when the shootings happened. We just | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
could not believe what was happening before our eyes. None of us could | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
believe it. But... On the other hand we don't see it as an attack on | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
police personally. It was an attack on this system of oppression that | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
many people feel has unjustly treated them over the years. It was | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
not an attack on police, it was an attack on an unjust system where you | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
have seen almost 600 police shootings so far this year. We were | :22:25. | :22:33. | |
grieving. You know, the death of these police officers, because they | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
were just common, working people like all of us, trying to take care | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
of their families. On the other hand we were grieving and frustrated by | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
the shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. We were all very | :22:51. | :22:59. | |
hurt. In tears on Monday when we saw the video. Tuesday in tears when we | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
saw the video. And then Wednesday in tears when the shooting occurred. I | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
appreciate your thoughts. Thank you very much. | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
Let's get some sports now. What a performance by Serena Williams | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
today. Amazing. She has matched Steffi | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
Graf's record of 22 grand slam titles and a seventh at Wimbledon. | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
She beat Angelique Kerber in straight sets. | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
Ruthless determination has made Serena Williams and relentlessly | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
dominant. 22 grand slam titles make this unmistakably her era of the | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
game. Few athletes transcend their sport into superstardom. In | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
Angelique Kerber she faced an opponent who had beaten her in the | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
Australian Open final. But so often Williams says her best force to | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
court. And even with so many titles to her name still she shows the | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
aggression of a player seeking her first. Angelique Kerber was holding | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
her own in the opening exchanges but lost her nerves in the final game of | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
the first set. Williams taking it 7-5. To have any success against | :24:10. | :24:19. | |
Serena Williams requires the mental resolve to respond and Angelique | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
Kerber was determined to show off her own skills. Shot of the match. | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
Serena Williams applauds. This was a day where Williams' power would | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
prove too much. This, her response to Angelique Kerber's first and only | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
break point in the match. When the American gained the second set | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
advantage there no coming back. Irresistible, majestic. In a class | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
of her own. A Centre Court storyline with a familiar ending. This, her | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
seventh Wimbledon title takes her to a record. Making history happens to | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
her naturally. More cause for celebration for her | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
later, she claimed her sixth women's doubles title. Chris Froome has | :25:08. | :25:18. | |
taken the overall race leader at the Tour de France after winning the | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
eighth stage in the Pyrenees mountains. He broke away from the | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
leading pack at the last climb of the day. He got ten bonus seconds | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
for winning the stage. He is 16 seconds ahead of Adam Yates in the | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
overall standings. He will be in for a hard day on Sunday after a | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
mountainous stage and finishing in the principality of Andorra. | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
Thanks very much. That is it from me. Thank you for being with the | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
programme. From me and the rest of the team, do have a lovely evening. | :25:53. | :26:08. | |
It is feeling very warm and muddy across many parts of the country | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
this evening. Weather you had the sunshine during the day or the cloud | :26:15. | :26:16. | |
and | :26:17. | :26:17. |
