:00:08. > :00:16.Suicide bombs kill more than 100 people in the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

:00:17. > :00:20.The attacks came as families were out in a busy shopping district

:00:21. > :00:23.after observing Ramadan. The so-called Islamic State says it was

:00:24. > :00:29.responsible for the deadliest attack in Baghdad this year. Here, the

:00:30. > :00:33.front runner, for Conservative leader Theresa May says there needs

:00:34. > :00:40.to be a proper contest between the rival candidates, but no general

:00:41. > :00:45.election. Game, set and match. And Serena sails through at Wimbledon,

:00:46. > :01:00.serving up her 300th victory in a Grand Slam match.

:01:01. > :01:06.Nearly 120 people are now confirmed to have died and 200 others wounded

:01:07. > :01:09.in suicide bomb attacks in the heart of the Iraqi capital.

:01:10. > :01:13.Many of the deaths came when a lorry blew up close to a busy shopping

:01:14. > :01:16.area of Baghdad, where people were eating and drinking

:01:17. > :01:21.So-called Islamic State said it was responsible.

:01:22. > :01:26.From Baghdad, our Middle East editor, Jeremy Bowen.

:01:27. > :01:29.The bombs and the fires consumed so many lives.

:01:30. > :01:32.It's supposed to be a sacred and festive season.

:01:33. > :01:37.The last few days of the holy month of Ramadan.

:01:38. > :01:39.The attack happened at around 1am in the morning.

:01:40. > :01:41.The streets were full and the shops were open.

:01:42. > :01:50.This was the so-called Islamic State's latest gift

:01:51. > :01:58.The people who gathered there during the day were furious

:01:59. > :02:03.that the jihadist so-called Islamic State seem to be able

:02:04. > :02:08.So when the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi came to inspect the damage

:02:09. > :02:17.and pay his respects, they forced him to make a quick exit.

:02:18. > :02:23.He says that Iraqis are like sheep among wolves.

:02:24. > :02:26.Everyone is coming to eat their flesh.

:02:27. > :02:31.Islamic State Sunni extremists said they were targeting Shia Muslims.

:02:32. > :02:35.Sectarian war started in the chaos and violence that was unleashed

:02:36. > :02:39.by the American and British invasion of Iraq in 2003.

:02:40. > :02:45.It still continues and it's about power more than religion.

:02:46. > :02:49.The main reason why IS attacked was the defeat they've just

:02:50. > :02:54.It means they've lost a stronghold less than an hour's

:02:55. > :03:01.All the destruction and killing add up to a clear message

:03:02. > :03:04.from the jihadists of so-called Islamic State.

:03:05. > :03:06.That they may be defeated on the battlefield,

:03:07. > :03:10.but they are still able to hit back where it hurts most,

:03:11. > :03:12.by killing civilians in the heart of this capital city

:03:13. > :03:21.Iraq has not had a day of real peace since the invasion in 2003.

:03:22. > :03:23.This coming week, Britain publishes its official

:03:24. > :03:29.Plenty of Iraqis have already made up their minds.

:03:30. > :03:38.That the invaders pushed them into an agony without an end.

:03:39. > :03:48.It's very clear that even before we hear from the Chilcott report that

:03:49. > :03:52.very little went right after the invasion, that there wasn't a plan,

:03:53. > :03:58.that the consequences of that period of chaos and violence are still

:03:59. > :04:02.being felt in Iraq now. Not just in Iraq. But actually around the region

:04:03. > :04:09.as well. That sectarian dimensional, which reignited here is something

:04:10. > :04:14.that has infected the entire Middle East. So a lot to look at when that

:04:15. > :04:19.report is published, but the awful thing for Iraq is here tonight is

:04:20. > :04:22.this is their reality. Today, a particularly nasty bomb, horrendous

:04:23. > :04:26.scenes down there, but really, not a moment of peace.

:04:27. > :04:30.Jeremy Bowen in Baghdad, thank you. The Conservative Party leadership

:04:31. > :04:33.contender Theresa May has dismissed calls for other candidates to stand

:04:34. > :04:36.aside - saying she wants "a contest Mrs May - who is said

:04:37. > :04:39.to have the support of more than 100 Tory MPs -

:04:40. > :04:42.has reaffirmed her belief that there should be no

:04:43. > :04:45.General Election before 2020, Our correspondent, Ben Wright,

:04:46. > :04:49.has been the gauging opinions of Conservative Party

:04:50. > :05:01.members in Buckinghamshire. On the surface, this stretch of

:05:02. > :05:05.Conservative Party England appears serene, a world away from the

:05:06. > :05:10.summer's political convulsions. But in Buckinghamshire Garden this

:05:11. > :05:13.afternoon, a hot topic to discuss. The key thing that we need at the

:05:14. > :05:16.moment is a leadership and a statesman and that's the kind of

:05:17. > :05:20.thing that will drive our party forward. Members of the Beaconsfield

:05:21. > :05:30.Conservative Association have a big choice on their hands. I think she

:05:31. > :05:32.would be good on the world platform. They are weighing up Theresa May,

:05:33. > :05:34.one of the five Tory leadership candidates and the current

:05:35. > :05:40.favourite. Today, the Home Secretary said if she won she would not call a

:05:41. > :05:43.general election. We have got this huge issue of negotiating the

:05:44. > :05:48.Brexit. We have got the concerns about stability in the economy and

:05:49. > :05:51.the future of the UK, and I think if we were to have an early general

:05:52. > :05:55.election it would just introduce another destabilising factor. I

:05:56. > :05:59.don't think it would be good for the economy or people and their jobs.

:06:00. > :06:03.Theresa May campaign for Britain to stay in the EU, unlike Michael Gove,

:06:04. > :06:07.who clawed his way into the race after abandoning his former Leave

:06:08. > :06:11.campaign allied Boris Johnson, the man he had recommended as a

:06:12. > :06:18.potential Prime Minister. I took the decision very late on Wednesday

:06:19. > :06:23.evening. I went to bed at 1:30am in the morning. I reflected on it, I

:06:24. > :06:27.woke up early in the morning and decided... You call him at 7am and

:06:28. > :06:32.told him? I said in conscience I could not make that recommendation.

:06:33. > :06:37.It is Tory party members, around 140,000 of them, who will choose

:06:38. > :06:42.between two candidates short listed by Conservative MPs, so there views

:06:43. > :06:48.matter. Gove has shot himself in the foot, that's the end of him. I would

:06:49. > :06:54.go for Theresa May. I think she's a good level-headed person. I think

:06:55. > :06:59.she probably has leased enemies. Something these days in the

:07:00. > :07:04.Conservative Party! I know! But I also found fans of Andrea Leadsom,

:07:05. > :07:09.who campaigned strongly for Leave. She knows what needs to be done,

:07:10. > :07:14.she's a woman with conviction. Today, Andrea Leadsom tried to brush

:07:15. > :07:18.off remarks she had made three years ago suggesting that UK should be in

:07:19. > :07:22.the EU and in her view is the next Prime Minister had to have voted for

:07:23. > :07:27.Brexit. Somebody who says I've been told vote for Leave with no

:07:28. > :07:31.enthusiasm is very different to someone who sees the sunlit uplands

:07:32. > :07:35.of leaving the EU, the prospects for our children, our grandchildren, our

:07:36. > :07:39.business, of being open to well. These are some of the people who

:07:40. > :07:42.will pick the next Tory leader and Prime Minister. There is

:07:43. > :07:46.disagreement over who that person should be but everybody recognises

:07:47. > :07:51.the next Prime Minister has a really tough job uniting the party but also

:07:52. > :07:55.the country. Ben Wright, BBC News, Taplow in Buckinghamshire.

:07:56. > :07:57.Meanwhile Labour's leadership divisions continue with the former

:07:58. > :07:59.Deputy Prime Minister Lord Prescott warning today that civil war

:08:00. > :08:03.Jeremy Corbyn has used an article in a Sunday newspaper

:08:04. > :08:06.to call for unity - offering to work with all sections

:08:07. > :08:09.of the party - including the 172 MPs who voted against him

:08:10. > :08:20.Our political correspondent Chris Mason reports.

:08:21. > :08:27.Surely you can spare 30 seconds to talk to the media? Jeremy Corbyn is

:08:28. > :08:33.struggling to give the impression he's in control of events. He says

:08:34. > :08:37.he is willing to reach out to those Labour MPs. When the leader of the

:08:38. > :08:43.country's biggest trade union remains unflinching in his support.

:08:44. > :08:50.This has been a political lynching of a decent man, undermined,

:08:51. > :08:55.humiliated, attacked, in order to push him out, and here's the truth.

:08:56. > :08:59.It's failed. The coup has failed. But the former Labour leader Lord

:09:00. > :09:02.Kinnock said again today that Mr Corbyn had to go and claimed he did

:09:03. > :09:08.not have enough support to stand again for the leadership if he faces

:09:09. > :09:13.a challenge. Let me read, it will only take a second or two, this is

:09:14. > :09:17.very tiresome, I know, any nomination must be supported by 20%

:09:18. > :09:20.of the combined Commons members of the Parliamentary Labour Party and

:09:21. > :09:23.members of the European Parliamentary Labour Party.

:09:24. > :09:29.Nominations not attaining this threshold shall be null and void. Mr

:09:30. > :09:33.Corbyn says he would stand again. This row continues to escalate. I've

:09:34. > :09:38.been sent this dossier by a recently resigned Shadow Cabinet minister,

:09:39. > :09:41.attempting to highlight how support for the leader is beginning to slip

:09:42. > :09:48.away amongst Labour's grassroots. However much support Jeremy Corbyn

:09:49. > :09:53.has, this Labour veteran is worried. Can we avoid the disaster we are

:09:54. > :09:57.heading two of the talk of civil war and separate parties? You can't have

:09:58. > :10:02.that. We must do everything to stop it. Rarely can a major British

:10:03. > :10:08.political party be accurately described to be in an existential

:10:09. > :10:13.crisis, but right now Labour can. These are painful times for Jeremy

:10:14. > :10:16.Corbyn and his party. Chris Mason, BBC News.

:10:17. > :10:18.Ten days after the EU referendum vote, this year's

:10:19. > :10:20.British Social Attitudes survey has highlighted changing

:10:21. > :10:25.The majority of those surveyed believed that schools

:10:26. > :10:28.and the NHS are under pressure because of immigration.

:10:29. > :10:31.And there was considerable variation in attitudes depending

:10:32. > :10:34.on the educational background of those who took part.

:10:35. > :10:41.Our correspondent Judith Moritz reports from Leeds.

:10:42. > :10:47.Leeds is a melting pot, a multicultural city where more than

:10:48. > :10:52.10% of people were born outside the UK. In the suburb of Beeston a

:10:53. > :10:59.different nationalities live died by side. It makes immigration a hot

:11:00. > :11:03.topic. I'm not racist, but you know, human beings are human beings, the

:11:04. > :11:08.more people coming over here puts added strain on, they get taken care

:11:09. > :11:13.off over us. My take on it is something that people who come here

:11:14. > :11:17.bring far more than they take out. The doctors surgery, you have to

:11:18. > :11:22.book it sometimes three weeks before your appointment. It's stupid. I

:11:23. > :11:27.don't see it being a problem of just migrants. It's anywhere that is

:11:28. > :11:30.overpopulated, any area that is overpopulated would be the same.

:11:31. > :11:35.According to new research, nearly three quarters of voters in the UK

:11:36. > :11:40.believes schools are under pressure because of immigration, whilst more

:11:41. > :11:45.than 60% feel that the NHS is being stretched by it. It seems pretty

:11:46. > :11:49.clear that of the three main things that people talk about when it comes

:11:50. > :11:52.to immigration, the impact on the economy, the impact on the nation's

:11:53. > :11:56.culture, and the impact on its public services, that at the moment

:11:57. > :12:00.at least it's the last of these that's principal concern of the

:12:01. > :12:04.public. The research found a difference in attitudes between

:12:05. > :12:09.those who have been to university and those who haven't. Just 15% of

:12:10. > :12:14.graduates believe that immigration has had a bad effect the economy.

:12:15. > :12:20.That's compared to 51% of people holding that view who have no

:12:21. > :12:24.educational qualifications. But graduates and those without degrees

:12:25. > :12:29.are much less divided on other subjects. The majority of both

:12:30. > :12:31.groups feel that public services are under pressure because of

:12:32. > :12:35.immigration. Judith Moritz, BBC News, Leeds.

:12:36. > :12:37.Time now for the sport, which is live from Wimbledon

:12:38. > :12:42.It's only the fourth time in the All-England Club's 139 year

:12:43. > :12:45.history that the gates have been opened to

:12:46. > :12:50.With the sun finally shining, the tournament is back on schedule

:12:51. > :12:56.And there has been a distinctly different atmosphere on court today,

:12:57. > :13:02.At Wimbledon the work never stops, but playing

:13:03. > :13:09.Not that the public care, 22,000 tickets sold in 27 minutes.

:13:10. > :13:13.The star attraction was Serena Williams.

:13:14. > :13:17.Her opponent Annika Beck is a fine prospect, but inside an hour she'd

:13:18. > :13:20.experienced what the six-time champion can do to you.

:13:21. > :13:23.Wimbledon was still coming to terms with the loss of top seed

:13:24. > :13:28.Novak Djokovic, knocked out by Sam Querrey yesterday -

:13:29. > :13:34.Well, that defeat for Djokovic has blown the men's draw wide open.

:13:35. > :13:38.In theory it means Andy Murray becomes the new favourite.

:13:39. > :13:43.He insists he is taking nothing for granted.

:13:44. > :13:45.And rightly so, given he'll play the unpredictable

:13:46. > :13:48.Nick Kyrgios next, after his win against Feliciano Lopez today.

:13:49. > :14:01.David Ornstein, BBC News, Wimbledon. of the picture he'll be a step

:14:02. > :14:03.Formula One - and Lewis Hamilton has won the Austrian Grand Prix

:14:04. > :14:07.after a controversial last-lap collision with his Mercedes

:14:08. > :14:11.Hamilton was attempting to overtake Rosberg,

:14:12. > :14:14.but there was contact, and Hamilton was pushed out wide.

:14:15. > :14:17.The German's front wing was badly damaged in the incident

:14:18. > :14:25.and he could only finish in fourth place.

:14:26. > :14:28.The last Euro 2016 quarter final will be played this evening and sees

:14:29. > :14:32.One of their managers is also a part-time dentist

:14:33. > :14:35.and they are the lowest-ranked team in the tournament,

:14:36. > :14:38.but Iceland knocked England out of the tournament.

:14:39. > :14:41.Matthew Price reports from Reykjavik as the country prepares

:14:42. > :14:59.Everyone is excited in Iceland, and that is no exaggeration. Why stop

:15:00. > :15:05.now? Why not go further? We have everything we need to. It's 11

:15:06. > :15:09.footballers who empty the -- enter the field, it could go either way.

:15:10. > :15:13.In this volcanic Viking nation where they are used to beating the odds,

:15:14. > :15:17.they are painted up and ready for battle. Never has there been such a

:15:18. > :15:21.moment. They all know they will have to play the game of their lives to

:15:22. > :15:26.win over but remember, they've already done that once. If we can

:15:27. > :15:35.beat England we can beat France, no problem. This rugged island sits on

:15:36. > :15:40.the Arctic Circle. Where a summer temperature of 10 Celsius is

:15:41. > :15:44.considered barmy. It is known for its natural beauty, but not for the

:15:45. > :15:49.beautiful game. Iceland's footballing success is even more

:15:50. > :15:54.remarkable when you could stand here on this isolated windswept desolate

:15:55. > :15:57.volcanic rock in the middle of the North Atlantic. There are more

:15:58. > :16:02.people who live in Cardiff and come from Iceland and yet like Wales Dave

:16:03. > :16:08.harnessed their talent here and they believe in themselves. They've also

:16:09. > :16:12.invested heavily in football training. No one expected such

:16:13. > :16:16.success but one former international says it's clear why they've

:16:17. > :16:24.performed so well. When I look at it, I'm not surprised. Why? Because

:16:25. > :16:28.they are such a great team. They play as a team. They come in

:16:29. > :16:34.together and go out together and they fight for each other. When

:16:35. > :16:41.Iceland played England, 99.8% of people watching TV here that evening

:16:42. > :16:42.watched the game. Tonight, it will surely be everyone. Matthew Price,
