:00:07. > :00:14.Pictures emerge in Iraq appearing to show ISIS forces capturing and then
:00:15. > :00:18.killing Iraqi troops. The images cannot be independently verified.
:00:19. > :00:23.With the Islamist terrorists in control of large areas of Iraq, Tony
:00:24. > :00:26.Blair calls for action. Whatever form of intervention we
:00:27. > :00:30.choose, it's going to be difficult, but it's better than the
:00:31. > :00:34.alternative. With the ISIS advance on Baghdad appearing to have been
:00:35. > :00:38.halted, we will report from the capital and from northern Iraq. Also
:00:39. > :00:42.tonight, David Cameron says it is time to be more assertive about
:00:43. > :00:48.promoting British values and demand them of everyone in the UK.
:00:49. > :00:53.With three teenagers still missing in Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu
:00:54. > :00:59.accuses the militant group Hamas of abducting them.
:01:00. > :01:03.And the ecstasy and the agony, as England lose their World Cup opener
:01:04. > :01:25.against Italy. Good evening. The crisis in Iraq
:01:26. > :01:29.deepened today, with pictures emerging of what appeared to be
:01:30. > :01:34.dozens of Iraqi fighters being of rounded up by ISIS militants and
:01:35. > :01:39.later executed. The Army believes the images are genuine. It also says
:01:40. > :01:43.it has killed nearly 300 ISIS fighters as it battles to protect
:01:44. > :01:48.the capital, Baghdad. With large areas of the country held by the
:01:49. > :01:50.militia group, the former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, says Britain
:01:51. > :01:54.and the United States should take action, possibly in the form of air
:01:55. > :01:59.strikes. We have two reports tonight. In a moment Paul Wood from
:02:00. > :02:04.Irbil, where many of those injured in the conflict are being treated in
:02:05. > :02:08.hospital. First, from Baghdad, our world affairs editor, John Simpson,
:02:09. > :02:13.has just sent this report. In a country not short on atrocities,
:02:14. > :02:21.this is probably the worst one since Saddam Hussein fell in 2003. The
:02:22. > :02:25.pictures proudly posted by ISIS on twitter show Iraqi army soldiers
:02:26. > :02:29.being taken off to execution. The Iraqi army thinks the pictures are
:02:30. > :02:33.genuine, but they have not been verified independently.
:02:34. > :02:40.The blood-letting does not stop. Here in central Baghdad today, a man
:02:41. > :02:44.wearing a suicide vest, quite possibly a sympathizer with ISIS,
:02:45. > :02:48.walked through this busy street market and blew himself up. Eight
:02:49. > :02:55.others died, many were injured. When we got there, it was eerily silent.
:02:56. > :03:01.Until just a few hours ago, this was a typical Baghdad side street, full
:03:02. > :03:08.of stalls selling things. Now, well, you can see, there's just clothes -
:03:09. > :03:13.the remains of dead bodies still, down by my feet here and the gutters
:03:14. > :03:18.are red with blood. But this sort of thing happens almost every day
:03:19. > :03:25.somewhere in Iraq and scarcely noticed by the outside world.
:03:26. > :03:32.How did all this start? Many people in the West blame the invasion of
:03:33. > :03:38.Iraq in 2003 by the Blair/Bush alliance. Sunnis here say the Iraqi
:03:39. > :03:45.Government has been relentlessly Shi'ite in recent years and has
:03:46. > :03:51.excluded them. Tony Blair, is unrepen -- is unrepentant. What we
:03:52. > :03:57.underestimated is once you remove the dictatorship then out comes this
:03:58. > :04:01.religious tension, and then you are engaged in a different struggle
:04:02. > :04:06.against that. The type of war we saw in 2003 got rid of the dictator who
:04:07. > :04:11.held the different religious and ethnic groups together by sheer
:04:12. > :04:15.ferocity. Without Saddam, sectarianism had free reign, not
:04:16. > :04:19.only in Iraq, but in Syria and across the region. And now the
:04:20. > :04:25.American and British troops have gone, the Iraqi Government has to
:04:26. > :04:33.face an extremist Sunni uprising on its own. If in Syria and Iraq there
:04:34. > :04:38.is a Sunni extremist entity with ISIS in charge, that carves out a
:04:39. > :04:43.place for itself, it will be the great irony of the modern era.
:04:44. > :04:48.President Bush said he wanted to go into Iraq to fight terrorism. There
:04:49. > :04:53.was no terrorists. There are now. Security in the streets here is
:04:54. > :04:56.intense. The Iraqi army received good training and good equipment
:04:57. > :05:00.from the US and Britain, but the events of the past week have shown
:05:01. > :05:05.that the Iraqi Government still seems to need help.
:05:06. > :05:09.Intervention is tough. Partial intervention is tough.
:05:10. > :05:13.Nonintervention is also tough. The best policy for us is to realise
:05:14. > :05:16.whatever form of intervention we choose, it will be difficult, but it
:05:17. > :05:21.is better than the alternative. We have to look at Syria and Iraq and
:05:22. > :05:25.the region in context. We have to understand what is going on there
:05:26. > :05:28.and we have to engage. It means that we actively try and shape this
:05:29. > :05:33.situation with our allies in the region and don't believe if we wash
:05:34. > :05:37.our hands of it and walk away then the problems will be solved. As
:05:38. > :05:44.today's bombing showed, yet again this country has been horribly
:05:45. > :05:48.damaged over the years. But the overthrow of Saddam, dangerous
:05:49. > :05:50.though he was, did remove the one brutal force which used to hold Iraq
:05:51. > :06:00.together. Much of the fighting has been in
:06:01. > :06:05.northern Iraq, where shi ya Muslims who fled Mosul said they were
:06:06. > :06:09.targeted with car bombs aimed at driving them out. Our correspondent
:06:10. > :06:14.has been to one of the hospitals dealing the casualties. Iraq is not
:06:15. > :06:19.yet a war of neighbour against neighbour, Sunni against shi ya.
:06:20. > :06:26.Some say that is -- Shia. Some say that is what ISIS wants.
:06:27. > :06:32.This man is from a village outside Mosul. The Jihadists sent two
:06:33. > :06:39.suicide cars to the mosque there. TRANSLATION: After the first
:06:40. > :06:44.explosion people ran to help. Then the second car explode. Many people
:06:45. > :06:49.were hurt. Their limbs were blown off. We were asking for help. How
:06:50. > :06:55.long will this last? You are in your own home and they blow it up. Women,
:06:56. > :07:02.children - is there an answer? Why does this happen?
:07:03. > :07:06.His nephew is in no doubt what is happening.
:07:07. > :07:15.TRANSLATION: ISIS are a gang of mercenaries, they are killing people
:07:16. > :07:21.depending on their religion. Shi'ites will not stay silent in the
:07:22. > :07:25.face of this. Of course there were divisions in
:07:26. > :07:31.Iraq before ISIS came along. People here have told us that they at least
:07:32. > :07:35.lived with their neighbours. It is that Iraq, that I say the Jihadies
:07:36. > :07:40.are trying to tear apart with car bombs and bullets.
:07:41. > :07:45.But many are here because of Baghdad's forces, not the Jihadies.
:07:46. > :07:49.This woman's son was badly burned when a Government shell exploded in
:07:50. > :07:55.their home. She is too afraid to be identified.
:07:56. > :08:00.They were bombing randomly shops, homes, the doctors even thought the
:08:01. > :08:04.hospital would be bombed. They said, "Take your son and try and save his
:08:05. > :08:09.life." We are afraid of Government forces. ISIS didn't bomb anyone.
:08:10. > :08:12.Nothing good will come from this Government. We have no dreams. No
:08:13. > :08:17.plans for the future of our children. We just want peace.
:08:18. > :08:25.I would live in the desert if there was no war.
:08:26. > :08:29.Some have fled because of ISIS. Some because of the Government's
:08:30. > :08:33.response. Increasingly that split is
:08:34. > :08:39.sectarian. The war is pulling at the this reds of Iraqi society.
:08:40. > :08:43.-- threds. Let's return to Baghdad now and our
:08:44. > :08:46.world affairs editor, John Simpson. On this question of what the West
:08:47. > :08:52.should do, what did you make of what Tony Blair had to say? Well, so much
:08:53. > :08:56.of it was about the past, of course. And that was the part that in a way
:08:57. > :09:00.people are interested in because they always want to know if he'll
:09:01. > :09:05.say sorry for what he did. But, and of course he wasn't prepared to do
:09:06. > :09:10.that, but what he is saying is that there does need to be some action
:09:11. > :09:15.and to be honest, it is very hard to think that President Obama won't do
:09:16. > :09:20.something or another. He is taking long to decide, but it would be very
:09:21. > :09:24.difficult, I think for him just to say, OK, we'll leave the Iraqi
:09:25. > :09:30.Government to its fate. So, I think we can expect, at some stage,
:09:31. > :09:34.American bombings and American missiles. Though, of course, they
:09:35. > :09:38.have their own problem too. John, thank you very much.
:09:39. > :09:44.David Cameron has been defending his plan to have British values taught
:09:45. > :09:48.in every school in England, saying they needed to be promoted in a
:09:49. > :09:52.muscular way. His plan is a response to allegations about an Islamist
:09:53. > :09:58.agenda in some Birmingham schools. Today, the newly appointed head of
:09:59. > :10:06.the Muslim Council of Britain said asserting Britishness should not be
:10:07. > :10:13.used as an excuse for Islamophobia. Trooping the Colour this weekend.
:10:14. > :10:17.For many the ultimate in pomp and circumstance, a tradition dating
:10:18. > :10:21.back to the 17th century. It symbolises what it means to be
:10:22. > :10:25.British. Despite such displays, the Prime Minister believes it is time
:10:26. > :10:30.to be more muscular in promoting British values. In a newspaper
:10:31. > :10:35.article, he says those values include, a belief in freedom,
:10:36. > :10:38.tolerance of others, accepting personal and social responsibility,
:10:39. > :10:44.respecting and upholding the rule of law. Adding, to me, there is British
:10:45. > :10:50.as the Union Flag, as football, as fish and chips.
:10:51. > :10:54.In East London today the Muslim Council of Britain, which represents
:10:55. > :11:00.more than 500 groups around the country, passed a motion, saying it
:11:01. > :11:05.had deep concerns about the tone and tenor of the debate. Their new head
:11:06. > :11:11.was more conciliatory. What is more important is that these values are
:11:12. > :11:14.not seen through a prism of either Islamophobia or anything. These are
:11:15. > :11:19.values that we all need to work together and exercise.
:11:20. > :11:23.This debate is particularly charged after allegations of a hard-line
:11:24. > :11:26.plot by Muslims to take over some schools in Birmingham.
:11:27. > :11:31.Five have been put into special measures. Ministers say all schools
:11:32. > :11:36.in England will be required to teach British values from the autumn. It
:11:37. > :11:39.is a small grup of Muslims who have done this -- group of Muslims who
:11:40. > :11:43.have done this. Nobody should vilify the whole community. I am trying to
:11:44. > :11:48.target those small groups of individuals and make sure they
:11:49. > :11:53.respect each other. The images of Britain are easy to
:11:54. > :11:58.agree on. Finding common ground on tricky things like values will be
:11:59. > :12:02.much harder. The authorities in Pakistan say a
:12:03. > :12:06.comprehensive military operation is under way to target militants blamed
:12:07. > :12:13.for the attack on Karachi airport a week ago. Civilians have been
:12:14. > :12:18.fleeing waz irstan, close to the border. Pakistan says 80 militants
:12:19. > :12:22.have been killed so far, including an Uzbek man accused of
:12:23. > :12:29.masterminding the attack, in which 38 people were killed.
:12:30. > :12:33.Israel has accused Hamas of kidnapping three teenagers who vn
:12:34. > :12:36.been missing for the -- who have been missing for the past three
:12:37. > :12:40.days. 80 Palestinians have been arrested during searches in and
:12:41. > :12:42.around the West Bank. Hamas has praised the kidnapping and
:12:43. > :12:54.denied it is responsible. Israeli soldiers pouring into the
:12:55. > :13:00.occupied West Bank on the hunt for three missing teenagers. Israel says
:13:01. > :13:04.the boys have been kidnapped. 807 Palestinians were de-- 80
:13:05. > :13:08.Palestinians were detained. The missing are:
:13:09. > :13:18.Like many people here, the teenagers were hitch hiking their way home.
:13:19. > :13:20.This was the last spot where they were seen and that was three days
:13:21. > :13:25.ago. As the search for the teens
:13:26. > :13:32.continued, one of the mothers appealed for their quick return. We
:13:33. > :13:38.trust that the boys will come home, they were just on their way home.
:13:39. > :13:42.They will be with us here and we will hug them soon. But this has
:13:43. > :13:48.quickly escalated into a political crisis. Israel's Prime Minister said
:13:49. > :13:53.Palestinian militants are to blame. These teenagers were kidnapped and
:13:54. > :14:02.the kidnapping was carried out by Hamas members.
:14:03. > :14:10.Hamas does not change this fact. Hamas previously kidnapped Gilad
:14:11. > :14:15.Shalit. A spokesman said Netanyahu's
:14:16. > :14:21.statements are silly statements, we believe the latest extensive arrests
:14:22. > :14:25.of leaders, legislators and negotiators are aimed at breaking
:14:26. > :14:30.the will of Hamas in the West Bank. Tensions here are increasing.
:14:31. > :14:36.Israeli-Palestinian relations may now hinge on the safe return of
:14:37. > :14:39.three missing teenagers. The England manager said he is
:14:40. > :14:44.confident the team can still qualify for the knock-out stages of the
:14:45. > :14:49.World Cup, despite their 2-1 defeat to Italy last night. Roy Hodgson
:14:50. > :14:52.said England put on an attacking and confident display and were gutted to
:14:53. > :14:59.return to their base in Rio with nothing. Let's cross to Rio now and
:15:00. > :15:02.join Foster for the latest. Today England's players have been
:15:03. > :15:09.recover from their exertions last night. Their next game will be upon
:15:10. > :15:11.them before they know it, that is in Sao Paulo. One they cannot afford to
:15:12. > :15:19.lose now. It was a long journey home from the
:15:20. > :15:23.Amazon and England arrived back at their Rio hotel in the early hours,
:15:24. > :15:27.facing what seems like a long road back into this World Cup. For the 15
:15:28. > :15:32.million fans who stayed up late watching their team's opening match,
:15:33. > :15:38.it was a familiar story, as the night veered from jubilation to
:15:39. > :15:44.desperation. But rarely has defeat given so much
:15:45. > :15:52.cause for optimism. Raheem Sterling stir's performance
:15:53. > :16:01.in Manaus. It was his pass to Wayne Rooney that led to the equaliser by
:16:02. > :16:04.Daniel Sturridge. Italy's second-half winner left a
:16:05. > :16:08.youthful England empty-handed, but not without hope.
:16:09. > :16:12.Fans on Copacabana beach this morning, trying to stay positive,
:16:13. > :16:16.left to reflect on where last night's result leaves England's
:16:17. > :16:20.campaign. I thought it was a really good game. I don't think England
:16:21. > :16:25.played that bad. I thought they did really well. They seemed to have run
:16:26. > :16:30.out of steam in the second half. The temperature probably had a lot to do
:16:31. > :16:33.with it. If England lose their pace against Uruguay, I think they could
:16:34. > :16:38.come second. Back at their Rio base, England know
:16:39. > :16:43.they now have just three days to recover from their exertions in the
:16:44. > :16:50.Amazon before facing Uruguay in Sao Paulo on Thursday. And an anxious
:16:51. > :16:55.few days lay in wait. Roy Hodgson's side know defeat to Uruguay could
:16:56. > :16:59.see them eliminated. This is an open group. Could the team still prevail
:17:00. > :17:03.and reach the second round? Yes, because we create chances. If you
:17:04. > :17:07.look so far, what is the damage - three a game. It is all about
:17:08. > :17:13.attack. England's continued stay in Brazil is already in the balance. A
:17:14. > :17:19.brighter fewure has been glimpsed. It is results now that will keep
:17:20. > :17:22.them here. The Maracana Stadium here hosts its
:17:23. > :17:27.first match at this World Cup tonight with Argentina facing Bosnia
:17:28. > :17:32.Herzegovina. Switzerland have beaten Ecuador. France's win against
:17:33. > :17:36.Honduras saw goal-line technology used for the first time at a World
:17:37. > :17:44.Cup. Karim Benzema saw another shot
:17:45. > :17:49.eventually of... The goal control system showed the ball cross the
:17:50. > :17:54.line, even if the Honduran manager was not too happy about it. Well,
:17:55. > :18:00.away from the World Cup, England's cricketers have a 389-run lead over
:18:01. > :18:06.Sri Lanka, with one more day to play there. That is thanks to an unbeaten
:18:07. > :18:12.century from Gary Ballance. From here, on the fourth day of this
:18:13. > :18:17.World Cup, that's all your sport. Thank you. You can see more on all
