Northern Ireland, following -- calls for calm in Northern Ireland

:00:08.:00:10.

following last night's violence. Police are out in force again this

:00:10.:00:16.

evening on the streets of Belfast. Yesterday's clashes linked to a

:00:16.:00:20.

contentious parade left 56 officers injured. The Northern Ireland

:00:20.:00:24.

Secretary called the violence deeply damaging. Also tonight, the new

:00:24.:00:29.

chairman of the FA sells the heat of a summer -- says the heat of a

:00:29.:00:33.

summer in Qatar in 2022 will be impossible to bear.

:00:33.:00:38.

It's gold for Mo in Moscow as he triumphs in the 10,000 metres at the

:00:38.:00:48.
:00:48.:01:00.

Good evening. Police in Northern Ireland appealed for calm after last

:01:00.:01:05.

night's violence which left 56 officers injured. The Northern

:01:05.:01:08.

Ireland Secretary, Theresa Villers, described the clashes as shameful

:01:08.:01:14.

and a huge step backwards. The trouble began after loyalists

:01:14.:01:18.

protested against a republican parade. There are concerns about

:01:18.:01:25.

another republican march due to take place tomorrow.

:01:25.:01:29.

Northern Ireland's marching season has become known as a time of

:01:29.:01:33.

tension and trouble. Today loyalists have been taking part in parades,

:01:33.:01:39.

but last night, they were trying to stop a march by republicans. What

:01:39.:01:44.

started as an evening of peaceful protest ended in several hours of

:01:44.:01:47.

violence, right in the heart of Belfast.

:01:47.:01:52.

Images of destruction and disorder once again exposing divisions that

:01:52.:01:57.

still run deep in some parts of this city. Loyalists had blocked the road

:01:57.:02:01.

ahead of the republican parade and when police tried to move them,

:02:01.:02:07.

there were angry clashes. Bottles and bricks were used as make-shift

:02:07.:02:12.

weapons and riters attacked the police. -- rioters attacked the

:02:12.:02:16.

police. Dozens of police officers were injured. There is no excuse for

:02:16.:02:21.

the violence we saw on the streets of Belfast last night. To have the

:02:21.:02:25.

TV screens filled with street disorder again today, it's a real

:02:25.:02:29.

step backwards. This is where last night's trouble doock place, a busy

:02:30.:02:37.

shopping -- took place, a busy shooping street. While the debris

:02:37.:02:44.

has been cleared away concerns remain. Tomorrow there's another

:02:44.:02:49.

parade in County Tyrone. Unionists say it's offensive and should be

:02:49.:02:55.

banned. I'm confident that everybody that's organising tomorrow, both

:02:55.:02:59.

parade and protest, want the event to pass off quickly and peacefully.

:03:00.:03:05.

We'll work as hard as we can to make sure that takes place. Police and

:03:05.:03:09.

parades have again been on the streets of Belfast tonight. All this

:03:09.:03:13.

security seen as a necessary precaution in a place where

:03:13.:03:17.

differences and division are rooted in history. The undoubted success of

:03:17.:03:21.

the peace process has changed life here, but the problems of the past

:03:21.:03:28.

still have the potential to cause conflict.

:03:28.:03:31.

In Iraq, at least 57 people have been killed in a series of bomb

:03:31.:03:34.

attacks in Baghdad during celebrations to mark the end of the

:03:34.:03:39.

Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. The attacks were mainly concentrated in

:03:39.:03:42.

Shi'ite areas of the city. Since July more than a thousand people

:03:42.:03:46.

have been killed in sectarian violence across the country.

:03:46.:03:51.

With me is our world affairs correspondent, Mike Wooldridge. Why

:03:51.:03:55.

has there been such an upsurge in killings in recent days? These

:03:55.:03:58.

appear to be attacks, certainly those today, designed to cause as

:03:58.:04:04.

many casualties as possible, among those celebrating the religious

:04:04.:04:08.

festival. Many occurring within an hour of each other. It's seen as

:04:08.:04:13.

coordinated. Car bombs in eight different neighbourhoods of Baghdad

:04:13.:04:17.

targeting markets, cafes, rose straupts and public -- restaurants

:04:17.:04:22.

and public gathering places. Across the country there were 16 car bombs

:04:22.:04:28.

and shootings, making it the most violent Ramadan since 2007. No-one

:04:28.:04:32.

has claimed responsibility for these latest attacks, given the targeting

:04:32.:04:36.

of mainly Shi'ite areas it's assumed to be the work of Sunni extremist

:04:36.:04:41.

groups. Violence has been on the increase not only recently, but also

:04:41.:04:45.

since government forces carried out a fierce crack down on a Sunni

:04:45.:04:51.

protest camp back in April. Sunnis claiming that they're marginal

:04:51.:04:56.

aislesed by the -- marginalised by the Shi'ite-led government. And

:04:56.:05:00.

hundreds of prisoners were freed in attacks on jails in Baghdad. It was

:05:00.:05:03.

expected that would leads to violence. It's a huge challenge for

:05:03.:05:07.

the government coming in this way, at this time and also, at a time

:05:07.:05:11.

when they have been claiming success in their operations against

:05:11.:05:15.

militants and said they would do more to protect people celebrating

:05:15.:05:21.

this very festival. Thank you. Now the new chairman of the Football

:05:21.:05:25.

Association, Greg Dyke, says it will be impossible to play the 2022 World

:05:25.:05:29.

Cup in Qatar in the summertime because of the high temperatures. He

:05:29.:05:37.

wants the tournament moved to the winter or held in another country.

:05:37.:05:42.

The FIFA World Cup is Qatar. surprise decision greeted with

:05:42.:05:47.

jubilation by the backers of the Qatar bid, but while that country

:05:47.:05:50.

celebrated, concerns were already being raised around the world about

:05:50.:05:56.

a tournament there in the summer heat. The Football Association has

:05:56.:05:59.

been celebrating its 150th anniversary today with events all

:05:59.:06:03.

over England. But it's a competition another nine years away that's

:06:03.:06:07.

dominating the thoughts of the FA's new chairman. Do we let thousands of

:06:07.:06:13.

fans go to Qatar and sit in boiling heat, queue up in boiling heat? I

:06:14.:06:16.

don't think you can. I think everybody in football is realising

:06:16.:06:21.

that. You can't let it go on there in June and July. Therefore it's

:06:21.:06:25.

going to have to move to another time or another place. Crystal

:06:25.:06:28.

Palace fans were watching their team play a friendly match this afternoon

:06:28.:06:33.

ahead of next week's Premier League kick off. The season in 2022 would

:06:33.:06:38.

look very different if it had to be halted for ten weeks in the middle.

:06:38.:06:42.

The Premier League say a winter World Cup would result in chaos,

:06:42.:06:45.

claiming three years of fixtures would be affected. The fans seem to

:06:45.:06:50.

agree. The vast majority are against any change to the schedules. No. I

:06:50.:06:54.

would not be happy at all. No keep it where it is. Don't interrupt our

:06:54.:06:58.

league. There's so much money involved in the Premiership and so

:06:58.:07:03.

much cued os on it, I don't -- kudos often it, I don't see how they'd

:07:03.:07:08.

send those players over it. should the rest of the world have to

:07:08.:07:13.

comply with Qatar? The chances of a tournament being moved away from

:07:13.:07:15.

Qatar are extremely slim. Realistically any change would have

:07:15.:07:20.

to be the dates. That means that the football's now set itself on a

:07:20.:07:23.

collision course with the Premier League over the football calendar

:07:23.:07:30.

for 2022. The driver of a tractor, which hit and killed an 11-year-old

:07:30.:07:34.

boy, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous

:07:34.:07:38.

driving and drink driving. Harry Whitlam from the Wakefield area, was

:07:38.:07:43.

airlifted to hospital but died last night much the accident happened at

:07:43.:07:47.

Swithens Farm in Rothwell in the south-east of Leeds.

:07:47.:07:50.

Now Spanish police say they've broken up a human trafficking ring,

:07:50.:07:55.

bringing Chinese nationals into Europe and America. 75 people have

:07:55.:07:58.

been arrested across Spain and France. It follows a two-year

:07:58.:08:04.

investigation. Tom Burridge reports. Spanish police sought through a

:08:04.:08:08.

wealth of evidence, material seized from a gang, who allegedly

:08:08.:08:11.

trafficked people into countries like Spain and then sometimes onto

:08:12.:08:18.

places like Britain and the United States. Officers recovered 86 fake

:08:18.:08:24.

passports and plenty of cash - euros and Chinese yuan. The men are

:08:24.:08:28.

accused of charging immigrants between 40,000 and 50,000 euros for

:08:28.:08:34.

a new false identity and help entering several European countries.

:08:34.:08:38.

TRANSLATION: The networks opened by this organisation for the transit of

:08:38.:08:42.

Chinese citizens to all these countries, sometimes resulted in

:08:42.:08:49.

their sexual exploitation. Those arrested include these four

:08:49.:08:55.

suspects, akuszed of running an elaborate human trafficking ring.

:08:55.:09:00.

In all 75 people have been detained. They're said to have helped traffic

:09:00.:09:04.

people from China into Europe. The immigrants would catch flights to

:09:04.:09:08.

Spain and then to France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Britain and Ireland

:09:08.:09:12.

and across the Atlantic to the United States. The gang would help

:09:12.:09:16.

the Chinese immigrants through airports and then take them to

:09:16.:09:19.

apartments, where they would create fake passports.

:09:19.:09:25.

One airport the gang operated in is El Prat is Barcelona. Spanish police

:09:25.:09:28.

reportedly arrested some of the group's main operators here. A

:09:28.:09:32.

source at the regional police force here has told us that these fake

:09:32.:09:36.

passports can be so well made that the police struggle to distinguish

:09:36.:09:41.

them from real ones. Adverts are parentally put in Chinese newspapers

:09:41.:09:45.

and the immigrants arriving at airports like this one pose as

:09:45.:09:49.

tourists and stunds. They'll pay up to -- students. They'll pay up to

:09:49.:09:53.

50,000 euros for their travel and visa. In some cases they're then

:09:53.:09:57.

kept in an apartment nearby until they pay more money.

:09:57.:10:00.

Authorities in Europe and America say that human trafficking through

:10:00.:10:05.

Spain is an increasing problem. But Spanish police hope these latest

:10:05.:10:08.

arrests will help in the fight against what is a globally organised

:10:09.:10:16.

crime. Police searching for a missing

:10:16.:10:20.

13-year-old girl from Sheffield have arrested a man on suspicion of child

:10:20.:10:25.

abduction. She was last seen leaving her home on Monday. Detectives say a

:10:25.:10:30.

22-year-old man from Bradford handed himself in, after hearing the appeal

:10:30.:10:33.

to find her. The Shadow Health Secretary says

:10:33.:10:37.

Labour is running out of time before the next election to prodouse a set

:10:37.:10:43.

of policies -- produce a set of policies that grab the voters. Andy

:10:43.:10:47.

Burnham believes they have until next spring to, as he put it, shout

:10:47.:10:56.

louder and speak in a way that catches the public's attention. He

:10:56.:10:58.

says he's -- our political correspondent Ben Wright is at

:10:58.:11:01.

Westminster now. Ben, why is Andy Burnham saying all

:11:01.:11:06.

this now? I think these remarks are a window into frustrations that are

:11:06.:11:11.

felt by many in the Labour Party. Andy Burnham is saying publicly what

:11:11.:11:15.

several Labour MPs are muttering privately. Labour is conducting a

:11:15.:11:19.

big review of its policies. That hasn't reported yet. The party

:11:19.:11:24.

doesn't currently have a chief strategist in place to oversee the

:11:24.:11:27.

general election campaign, something the Conservatives have. I was

:11:27.:11:30.

talking to a Labour MP this evening. He says there's a sense of drift in

:11:30.:11:33.

the party and a feeling that here it is, towards the end of a downturn

:11:33.:11:36.

and it really should be much further ahead in the polls if it's got any

:11:36.:11:40.

chance of winning the next election. That's why Andy Burnham has said

:11:40.:11:44.

what he's said. He's urging Ed Miliband to get on with it and come

:11:44.:11:48.

up with attention-grabbing policies before its too late. He suggested

:11:48.:11:52.

one in this interview: He was Health Secretary when Labour were in power.

:11:52.:11:56.

Then he tried to push the integration of social care for the

:11:56.:12:02.

elderly into the NHS to make it free at the point of delivery. That was

:12:02.:12:06.

something that groun said no -- Gordon Brown said no you're not

:12:06.:12:10.

having that, it's too expensive. He's trying to get it now. He's

:12:10.:12:14.

making his case to the party in public by calling for it in this

:12:14.:12:22.

interview. Thank you. Now David Cameron has rejected calls

:12:22.:12:26.

from the actor Stephen Fry to strip Russia of the 2014 Winter Olympics

:12:26.:12:31.

because of new antigay laws in. An open letter on his website Mr Fry,

:12:31.:12:34.

who joined several hundred people demonstrating against the laws in

:12:34.:12:38.

Westminster today, said Russia was making scapegoats of gay people. In

:12:38.:12:41.

response, Mr Cameron said he was concerned about the abuse of gay

:12:41.:12:46.

people in Russia, but he didn't back a boycott.

:12:46.:12:52.

Now, with all the sports news, we go to the BBC's sports centre.

:12:52.:12:57.

Good evening. Mo Farah has become the first Briton to win a 10,000

:12:57.:13:00.

metres world title. The double Olympic champion took the historic

:13:00.:13:05.

gold in Moscow with his trade mark sprint finish. David bond reports

:13:05.:13:11.

from the stadium. Exactly one year on from completing

:13:12.:13:15.

his unforgettable Olympic double, Mo Farah was back bidding to make

:13:15.:13:19.

history on the world stage tonight. There was no shortage of British

:13:19.:13:24.

support. But with so many empty seats here in Moscow, it was hardly

:13:24.:13:30.

London 2012. This was his first 10,000 metres since he won gold in

:13:30.:13:36.

London. Again, he relied heavily on his American training partner Galen

:13:36.:13:41.

Rupp to see off an alliance of African running talent. Two years

:13:41.:13:47.

ago, in Korea, he was beaten to the world title in a sprint finish by

:13:47.:13:50.

the Ethiopian, Ibrahim Jeilan. Not this time.

:13:50.:13:53.

COMMENTATOR: Mo Farah starts to go away. Jeilan is still there. He

:13:53.:13:58.

comes again. But Farah is going to get there. This is world domination

:13:58.:14:03.

for Farah! He is the world champion. Hard fought though it was, this gold

:14:03.:14:07.

won't feel as weighty as those won in London. But with so much

:14:08.:14:11.

expectation on his shoulders, the relief was plain to see.

:14:11.:14:16.

It's nice to have the nation behind you and I've been getting great

:14:16.:14:19.

messages from Twitter and Facebook. It's nice to see so many people

:14:20.:14:25.

cheering for me and still believe in me. They kept cheering for me.

:14:25.:14:30.

doping controversy dominating the build up to these championships, Mo

:14:30.:14:35.

Farah's victory tonight was not only a great start for him and Great

:14:35.:14:38.

Britain, it's helped lift some of the gloom over Moscow. Farah will

:14:39.:14:43.

hope to repeat his celebration after next Friday's 5,000 metres final.

:14:43.:14:48.

With everybody big win, he is cementing hills place as one of the

:14:48.:14:52.

track's all -- his place as one of the track's all-time greats.

:14:52.:14:58.

England's cricketers have a slender first innings lead after day two of

:14:58.:15:01.

the fourth Ashes Test. But Australia are very much in control of the

:15:01.:15:07.

match. They finished on 222 for five. Helped by an emotional maiden

:15:07.:15:11.

test century from Chris Rogers, as they look for their first win of the

:15:11.:15:16.

series. Offers of assistance are easy to

:15:16.:15:20.

find at Durham's cricket ground. Here comes a satisfied customer.

:15:20.:15:25.

Yes, but any advice on the small matter of batting? Australia in

:15:25.:15:31.

pursuit of 238, Warner in first and out first. A faint edge seen and

:15:31.:15:36.

heard by the on-field umpire. Chris Rogers was given out caught too. He

:15:36.:15:42.

didn't agree. The hot spot inventor wants bats to be redesigned so his

:15:42.:15:46.

technology works better. It showed a brush on the pad just fine, not out

:15:46.:15:51.

caught, simple. Except that another replay showed he was kind of out

:15:51.:15:57.

LBW. Umpire's call means you stick with what the on-field umpire said,

:15:57.:16:01.

not out LBW. He stayed. If you're following all, that you're doing

:16:02.:16:05.

better than most of the England players. Michael Clarke departed to

:16:05.:16:11.

a simple bad shot and good chap. Rogers got to 50 with an edge

:16:11.:16:15.

dropped at slip. It was that kind of day. Chances would not come

:16:15.:16:19.

indefinitely. Rogers seized on scraps of opportunity, weary and

:16:19.:16:25.

watchful. England couldn't shift him. A century stand with Watson. He

:16:25.:16:29.

will be 36 later this month and he will be -- this is his first 100 for

:16:29.:16:33.

Australia. No-one can take that from me. I can tell my grandchildren

:16:33.:16:37.

about it now. Will begin the third day 16 runs behind, five wickets

:16:38.:16:42.

down and Saturday's batting lesson from the middle - ride your luck,

:16:42.:16:50.

keep your head, self-help. Chris Rogers style.

:16:50.:16:52.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle are top of the Scottish Premiership after

:16:53.:16:57.

two wins out of two. They beat two wins out of two. They beat

:16:57.:17:02.

two wins out of two. They beat Dundee United 1-0.

:17:02.:17:06.

Rory McIlroy is starting to show some signs of his old form at golf's

:17:06.:17:11.

final major of the year, the US PGA in New York. The defending champion

:17:11.:17:14.

from Northern Ireland hit four birdies to finish his third round on

:17:14.:17:18.

three under par, along with England's Lee Westwood, six shots

:17:18.:17:21.

behind the American leader, Jim Furyk. That's the sport. Back to

:17:22.:17:27.
