The army in Bangladesh says the 20 people killed by jihadists

:00:20.:00:25.

in an attack on a cafe were foreign nationals.

:00:26.:00:27.

Heavily armed militants launched their assault yesterday,

:00:28.:00:29.

taking people hostage, before commandos stormed

:00:30.:00:31.

Six attackers were shot dead, with 13 hostages freed.

:00:32.:00:37.

It happened in a district popular with foreign diplomats.

:00:38.:00:39.

Most of the dead are Italian and Japanese.

:00:40.:00:42.

It was a dramatic end to a night of terror.

:00:43.:00:52.

Bursts of gunfire signalled the moment Bangladeshi

:00:53.:00:54.

commandos stormed the cafe and ended the siege.

:00:55.:01:00.

These pictures, shot from a nearby apartment and given to the BBC,

:01:01.:01:04.

show special forces on the roof of the building,

:01:05.:01:06.

A journalist in Japan got through to a witness near the scene.

:01:07.:01:18.

Police say six gunmen died in the raid.

:01:19.:01:27.

This man with his hand bound is reported to be him.

:01:28.:01:36.

TRANSLATION: During the ten hours, we battled with the terrorists.

:01:37.:01:38.

We saved 13 hostages but there are a few lives

:01:39.:01:41.

We killed six of the terrorists on the spot and one was arrested.

:01:42.:01:48.

They are a type of Muslim who kill people at a time of prayer.

:01:49.:01:56.

She doesn't emphasise the fact that for 20 hostages,

:01:57.:01:59.

most of them Italian and Japanese, the raid was simply too late.

:02:00.:02:06.

The mass murder of foreigners is unprecedented in Bangladesh.

:02:07.:02:10.

The gunmen's target was an upmarket European style cafe in an affluent

:02:11.:02:14.

All night, relatives outside seemed dazed as they waited for news.

:02:15.:02:24.

TRANSLATION: When I heard about the incident, I instantly

:02:25.:02:26.

called my brother-in-law who was working in the restaurant,

:02:27.:02:31.

and I was able to talk with him until nine o'clock last night.

:02:32.:02:34.

The so-called Islamic State says it carried out the attack.

:02:35.:02:42.

It's a frightening escalation, raising concerns that IS is further

:02:43.:02:44.

extending its reach, and it puts further pressure

:02:45.:02:48.

on a government already struggling to contain the threat

:02:49.:02:50.

The former Labour leader Lord Kinnock has called

:02:51.:02:59.

It's understood that a group of Labour MPs is seeking to make

:03:00.:03:03.

a deal with Mr Corbyn, in which he would resign

:03:04.:03:06.

but some of his key policies would be retained.

:03:07.:03:09.

With me is our political correspondent Chris Mason.

:03:10.:03:14.

Chris, will any of this have any impact? You would think it would,

:03:15.:03:21.

wouldn't you, that a former leader of the party calling for the current

:03:22.:03:24.

leader to resign would make waves. In all likelihood, it properly won't

:03:25.:03:27.

make any difference because Lord Kinnock is joining the second

:03:28.:03:30.

longest queue in the UK at the moment, which is Labour types who

:03:31.:03:34.

want to see Jeremy Corbyn resign. There is an even longer queue which

:03:35.:03:37.

is those members of the broader labour movement who would like him

:03:38.:03:40.

to stay exactly where he is. He's been at an event in north London

:03:41.:03:44.

this morning, surrounded by his supporters, saying that he should be

:03:45.:03:47.

prime minister and the Tories should be kicked out. Lord Fenner, though,

:03:48.:03:51.

telling Radio 5 live this morning Mr Corbyn should do his duty by the

:03:52.:03:56.

Labour Party and resign. This is after Newsnight last night reported

:03:57.:04:00.

that some new members of the Shadow Cabinet had gone to Jeremy Corbyn,

:04:01.:04:05.

or tried to, to say, "Look, you can retire with dignity, there are

:04:06.:04:07.

islands of your platform we can retain but you have to go," but was

:04:08.:04:14.

refused. The leader of Rimington, the campaign group got Jeremy Corbyn

:04:15.:04:18.

the job and remains of him, saying this morning that not only was he

:04:19.:04:21.

confident that Mr Corbyn would win a new leadership, Web contest but that

:04:22.:04:26.

he would lead Labour to victory in the next general election, whenever

:04:27.:04:32.

that is. Thousands of people are taking part

:04:33.:04:36.

in a rally in London to demonstrate against leaving the EU.

:04:37.:04:39.

Demonstrators wearing EU flags as Kates and with home-made banners

:04:40.:04:45.

gathered for the March For Europe rally. The protest was organised on

:04:46.:04:46.

social media. Welsh football fans have been

:04:47.:04:49.

celebrating their extraordinary win last night against Belgium,

:04:50.:04:51.

which puts them through to It's the first time they've been

:04:52.:04:53.

in the last four of a major Live now to Lille and our

:04:54.:04:57.

correspondent Hywel Griffith. What a great result and a great

:04:58.:05:07.

performance. Absolutely. Having waited 58 years to be in a major

:05:08.:05:11.

tournament, suddenly every second seems to have been worth it. Last

:05:12.:05:15.

night set a new standard in Welsh football, arguably in any home

:05:16.:05:19.

nation's performance in a tournament like this. This morning in Lille,

:05:20.:05:23.

there are plenty of smiles. Some people still stunned by what they

:05:24.:05:27.

witnessed. Savouring every second of their time

:05:28.:05:31.

in the sun, generations of Welsh fans will grow up hearing about last

:05:32.:05:38.

night's heroics in Lille. Unforgettable, once the hangovers

:05:39.:05:42.

have cleared. For supporters who spent decades facing failure,

:05:43.:05:45.

sometimes success can be hard to take. The heart, the passion, just

:05:46.:05:51.

everything mixed in together, it just makes me cry. Come on! Never in

:05:52.:06:00.

my world stream stood I think that we would ever get to the

:06:01.:06:03.

quarterfinals and we are in the semifinals! I was crying, I have to

:06:04.:06:08.

say. Very emotional night. Against the odds, Wales beat Belgian team

:06:09.:06:12.

ranked second in the world. Hal Robson-Kanu, a striker without a

:06:13.:06:16.

club, left Belgium's defenders without a clue. Wales finished the

:06:17.:06:24.

game as Euro 2016's top scorers. All this from a side that a few years

:06:25.:06:28.

ago was struggling to win and had to deal with the grief of losing their

:06:29.:06:32.

manager, Gary speed. But that bond has brought them here, brought

:06:33.:06:40.

unparalleled success. Dream. Don't be afraid to have dreams because

:06:41.:06:45.

four years ago I was as far away from this as you can imagine. And

:06:46.:06:49.

look what happened. If you work hard enough and you're not afraid to

:06:50.:06:52.

dream and you're not afraid to fail... If the celebrations were

:06:53.:06:57.

allowed in Lille, back home they were off the scale. But there is no

:06:58.:07:02.

measure of what it means. Wales are heading into uncharted territory.

:07:03.:07:07.

And that journey will bring them here, DeLeon, and a game against

:07:08.:07:12.

Portugal, the first British football team to reached the semifinal in 20

:07:13.:07:18.

years. This is where even more history can be made.

:07:19.:07:23.

That game will be difficult. Last night Wales lost two of their best

:07:24.:07:27.

players, Aaron Ramsey and Ben Davies, because of yellow cards.

:07:28.:07:30.

However, the confidence the team are playing with now, there are some who

:07:31.:07:35.

are daring to dream that Wales could maybe even go all the way to the

:07:36.:07:39.

final in Paris. Thanks very much.

:07:40.:07:41.

The Queen has formally opened the new session

:07:42.:07:49.

of the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood.

:07:50.:07:54.

The Queen later spoke about the need for political leaders to make room

:07:55.:08:02.

for quiet thinking and contemplation to deal with developers in a

:08:03.:08:03.

fast-moving world. You can see more on all of today's
