The battle for Mosul - forces close in on Iraq's second city

:00:00.:00:00.

to sieze back control from so-called Islamic State.

:00:07.:00:10.

As the fighting continues, so does the diplomacy.

:00:11.:00:14.

The US urges Iraq to accept support from neighbouring Turkey,

:00:15.:00:18.

but they say no - Iraq says it will be Iraqis who'll liberate the city.

:00:19.:00:27.

Also on the programme, clashes in Calais tonight

:00:28.:00:30.

ahead of the demolition of the camp known as the Jungle,

:00:31.:00:33.

as more children from there arrive in the UK.

:00:34.:00:36.

Donald Trump sets out what he'd do in the first hundred days

:00:37.:00:39.

And in sport, the day after the funeral of their coach,

:00:40.:00:47.

Munster make a victorious return to the rugby field.

:00:48.:01:08.

Forces fighting so-called Islamic State say

:01:09.:01:13.

they are closing in on the extremists' stronghold of Mosul.

:01:14.:01:16.

on the day the US Defence Secretary, Ash Carter,

:01:17.:01:21.

met the Iraqi Prime Minister for talks in Baghdad.

:01:22.:01:23.

America wants neighbouring Turkey to play a role,

:01:24.:01:26.

but Haider al-Abadi said the campaign to free Mosul

:01:27.:01:29.

is surrounded by areas in Kurdish and Iraqi control,

:01:30.:01:38.

with both sets of fighters advancing upon the city.

:01:39.:01:42.

Shaimaa Khailil reports from Northern Iraq.

:01:43.:01:48.

Closing in on Mosul and the so-called Islamic State.

:01:49.:01:53.

But as the Iraqi and Kurdish forces get closer,

:01:54.:01:55.

The battle for Mosul is in its sixth day,

:01:56.:02:02.

and every day brings more challenges.

:02:03.:02:07.

The town of Bartella is 15 km away from Mosul.

:02:08.:02:10.

It was recaptured from IS fighters on Thursday.

:02:11.:02:14.

Today, however, is a different story.

:02:15.:02:18.

A convoy of Iraqi special forces came under fire by Islamic State -

:02:19.:02:26.

a sign of how fluid this situation is.

:02:27.:02:28.

While the fighting continues in Mosul,

:02:29.:02:31.

Kirkuk looks like another battle ground.

:02:32.:02:33.

People are still reeling from Friday's IS attack.

:02:34.:02:37.

A day on, the scale of it is now clear.

:02:38.:02:43.

Kurdish forces have regained control of the oil-rich city,

:02:44.:02:45.

but the situation is still very tense,

:02:46.:02:47.

with reports of pockets of resistance by IS.

:02:48.:02:57.

Twice when the Mosul offensive started, the major concern was about

:02:58.:03:02.

IS backlash in the city and areas around it, but if the attack on

:03:03.:03:07.

Kirkuk proves anything, it is that the so-called Islamic State will

:03:08.:03:11.

fight back, not just in Mosul, but in key cities away from the central

:03:12.:03:12.

battle. The US Defence Secretary,

:03:13.:03:14.

Ash Carter, is in Iraq at the moment discussing

:03:15.:03:16.

progress on the Mosul operation and trying to get Iraq

:03:17.:03:19.

to accept Turkish support, Turkey, since it neighbours the

:03:20.:03:28.

region of Mosul, has an interest in the ultimate outcome in Mosul. Many

:03:29.:03:33.

other parties do as well, it is a complicated city.

:03:34.:03:36.

A point of contention between Iraq and Turkey -

:03:37.:03:39.

the Iraqi Prime Minister has made it clear

:03:40.:03:40.

that he does not want Turkey to take part, despite US mediation.

:03:41.:03:43.

that's another element added to the mosaic of players

:03:44.:03:48.

who have come together to fight the so-called Islamic State.

:03:49.:03:51.

The challenge is not only to recapture Mosul,

:03:52.:03:54.

but also to keep those different forces on the same side

:03:55.:03:58.

as they fight a united and determined enemy.

:03:59.:04:02.

Shaimaa Khalil, BBC News, Irbil, Northern Iraq.

:04:03.:04:08.

to be brought from the Calais refugee camp have arrived in London.

:04:09.:04:13.

The Home Office has refused to specify how many,

:04:14.:04:15.

but it's thought the UK could receive

:04:16.:04:17.

up to 200 refugees over the coming weeks.

:04:18.:04:19.

On Monday, work starts to clear the Calais camp known as the Jungle.

:04:20.:04:23.

The first coach arriving this afternoon

:04:24.:04:27.

thought to be carrying around 30 child refugees,

:04:28.:04:30.

with this welcome message from a small group

:04:31.:04:33.

of community and charity volunteers,

:04:34.:04:36.

some of whom are here to support the children

:04:37.:04:39.

through further identity checks and the lengthy immigration process.

:04:40.:04:43.

Understandably, some of them are quite reluctant

:04:44.:04:45.

They've obviously been through hell and back, and so we are

:04:46.:04:51.

not actually asking them to talk about what they've been through.

:04:52.:04:54.

kind of reassuring them that they are now safe

:04:55.:04:57.

and that they'll be with their loved ones very soon.

:04:58.:05:00.

Earlier this week, concerns were raised

:05:01.:05:01.

about the age of some of those arriving here,

:05:02.:05:03.

one MP calling for hand or dental X-rays

:05:04.:05:05.

to confirm they were in fact children.

:05:06.:05:07.

That led to this scaffolding being put up

:05:08.:05:10.

The journey for these children began this morning in Calais,

:05:11.:05:17.

leaving the migrant camp ahead of its closure,

:05:18.:05:19.

An estimated 7000 people live in the Jungle,

:05:20.:05:25.

many of whom are desperate to get to the UK.

:05:26.:05:28.

Authorities say they will be offered places to stay in refugee centres,

:05:29.:05:32.

but many worry about those who don't want to leave.

:05:33.:05:37.

I think about maybe 2000 people will refuse to go away

:05:38.:05:41.

and will still continue to try to go to UK.

:05:42.:05:45.

French police clashing with migrants as bottles thrown at officers,

:05:46.:05:55.

police retaliating with smoke grenades.

:05:56.:05:58.

It's as coaches continue to arrive in Croydon this evening.

:05:59.:06:00.

are thought to have made the journey today.

:06:01.:06:03.

Some will be joining family members

:06:04.:06:06.

in the hope of starting a new life here.

:06:07.:06:08.

Donald Trump has outlined what he would do in his first 100 days

:06:09.:06:19.

were he to become the next US President.

:06:20.:06:21.

With just over two weeks now until the election,

:06:22.:06:23.

the Republican Presidential nominee talked about how he'd tackle

:06:24.:06:26.

what he described as institutional corruption in Washington.

:06:27.:06:30.

Our correspondent Laura Bicker is in Washington now.

:06:31.:06:33.

Given the timeframe and his place in the polls,

:06:34.:06:35.

put this into some context for us, then, Laura.

:06:36.:06:43.

Well, this is a Donald Trump trying to press the reset button, and

:06:44.:06:50.

trying to remind voters why he is in this race in the first place. He

:06:51.:06:55.

says he stands for change, whereas Hillary Clinton is part of the

:06:56.:06:58.

rigged political machine that won't stand up for the ordinary American.

:06:59.:07:01.

The rigging of the system is designed for one reason -

:07:02.:07:05.

to keep the corrupt establishment and special interests in power

:07:06.:07:07.

at your expense and everybody's expense.

:07:08.:07:11.

I have no special interest but you, the American voter.

:07:12.:07:15.

I didn't have to do this, believe me.

:07:16.:07:23.

But I have to do it, I love our country,

:07:24.:07:30.

I love the people of our country, and I felt I had to do it.

:07:31.:07:39.

He said he'd clean up the political swamp that is Washington by imposing

:07:40.:07:47.

term limits on those who served in Congress, and he'd put a ban on

:07:48.:07:51.

certain congressional officials serving as lobbyists. And on his key

:07:52.:07:56.

subject of immigration, he said he'd impose a two year mandatory minimum

:07:57.:08:00.

sentence on those who re-enter the US illegally. But the Donald Trump

:08:01.:08:04.

who will not back away from a fight was also on stage today. He

:08:05.:08:08.

threatened to sue the women who come forward with allegations that he

:08:09.:08:16.

groped them. And he said he wouldn't do that until after the election.

:08:17.:08:18.

Speaking of those allegations, right now another woman is coming forward

:08:19.:08:22.

with her story, just as Donald Trump is trying to project this image of

:08:23.:08:27.

him as a US president, it seems that he is struggling to change the

:08:28.:08:32.

narrative, and struggling perhaps to overcome the allegations that lurk

:08:33.:08:34.

in his past. OK, Laura, thank you. Security agencies in

:08:35.:08:37.

the United States are investigating a series of cyber attacks which

:08:38.:08:39.

prevented people around the world accessing sites like Twitter, Amazon

:08:40.:08:42.

and PayPal yesterday. An American company which provides

:08:43.:08:44.

connection to the affected sites was targeted in one of

:08:45.:08:46.

the largest ever such attacks. Some of our most popular brands

:08:47.:08:50.

went a bit quiet yesterday. That's because Netflix,

:08:51.:08:57.

Twitter and Spotify, amongst others, were affected by one of the

:08:58.:09:00.

biggest cyber attacks ever. Under normal circumstances,

:09:01.:09:05.

when we type an internet address into our computer or mobile phone,

:09:06.:09:07.

it gets translated by companies like Dyn in the US into a language

:09:08.:09:10.

which computers understand. Dyn then talks to

:09:11.:09:16.

the requested website. Hackers ordered tens of millions

:09:17.:09:19.

of computers and devices to unwittingly send instructions

:09:20.:09:24.

simultaneously to Dyn. and couldn't translate

:09:25.:09:29.

them all into code. When the internet was created

:09:30.:09:34.

a couple of decades ago, it was designed to share

:09:35.:09:37.

rather than to defend, is how dependent we are on

:09:38.:09:40.

super-computing just like this. It also showed the vulnerability

:09:41.:09:48.

of some of our biggest companies, and even the vulnerability

:09:49.:09:50.

of ordinary objects in our homes. That's because ordinary household

:09:51.:09:55.

objects like baby monitors, webcams and printers were unwitting

:09:56.:09:58.

actors in yesterday's cyber attack. Some of them are connected

:09:59.:10:03.

to the Wi-Fi in our homes and were ordered by the hackers

:10:04.:10:06.

to bombard the Dyn servers. The bottom line is,

:10:07.:10:11.

as we get more and more devices attached to the internet,

:10:12.:10:13.

these smart devices, unless we take care of them,

:10:14.:10:16.

unless we stop them being very easily accessed with

:10:17.:10:18.

default username and password, the're going to be co-opted

:10:19.:10:22.

into more and more of these attacks. As for those who did it,

:10:23.:10:26.

we still don't know. contacted me claiming it was a test

:10:27.:10:28.

and that they would target Russia if, as they put it,

:10:29.:10:34.

it messed with the US. but that power can be turned

:10:35.:10:39.

on itself, affecting all of us. Now, with all the sport, here's

:10:40.:10:45.

Kharthi at the BBC Sport Centre. had the chance to finish today

:10:46.:10:54.

at the top of the table. Match Of The Day

:10:55.:10:59.

follows soon on BBC One, if you don't want to know

:11:00.:11:01.

what happened. after a goalless draw

:11:02.:11:05.

against Middlesbrough. Arsene Wenger's side dominated

:11:06.:11:08.

the game but didn't manage to score. missed their chance

:11:09.:11:13.

to become league leaders. Tottenham were held to a goalless

:11:14.:11:17.

draw by Bournemouth, Aberdeen are through to next month's

:11:18.:11:19.

Scottish League Cup Final but Aberdeen eventually converted

:11:20.:11:25.

their chances in the second half. They'll face

:11:26.:11:32.

either Celtic or Rangers, there were 1-1 draws

:11:33.:11:34.

in both of today's matches. An excellent performance from

:11:35.:11:42.

Ben Stokes with the bat and ball helped England build

:11:43.:11:45.

a decent lead against Banlgadesh. after day three of the first

:11:46.:11:50.

test in Chittagong. In the morning heat,

:11:51.:11:54.

just moving around can be an effort. Ben Stokes wisely allowing

:11:55.:12:00.

the ball to do the work. In the heat of battle,

:12:01.:12:03.

there are few England value more. A spell of inspiration as well as

:12:04.:12:15.

perspiration. But with a lead of 45,

:12:16.:12:18.

there was still no place to shelter, Captain Alastair Cook

:12:19.:12:21.

dismissed for 12, Joe Root trapped lbw

:12:22.:12:24.

just moments later. Plenty for their fans to celebrate -

:12:25.:12:32.

there was soon a little more. Moeen Ali's wickets left England

:12:33.:12:38.

62-5. As the spinners

:12:39.:12:42.

in this match have shown, No wicket keeper has scored more

:12:43.:12:43.

in one season than Jonny Bairstow. A world record broken, and Ben

:12:44.:12:56.

Stokes was beginning to break Bangladesh spirits.

:12:57.:12:57.

85 for him and seemingly changing the course of this match

:12:58.:13:00.

There was an emotional atmosphere as Munster played their first match

:13:01.:13:08.

since the death of their head coach, Antony Foley, last weekend.

:13:09.:13:10.

His players produced a passionate performance

:13:11.:13:12.

to beat Glasgow in rugby union's Champions Cup.

:13:13.:13:14.

Patrick Gearey rounds up today's European action.

:13:15.:13:19.

The tune is familiar, the tone in Limerick unmistakably sad.

:13:20.:13:22.

Last weekend, Munster lost a favourite son,

:13:23.:13:25.

Anthony Foley, once their captain and then their coach,

:13:26.:13:29.

There is one tribute Anthony Foley would appreciate above any other.

:13:30.:13:38.

Three minutes had passed before one of their players

:13:39.:13:48.

burst through Glasgow - like Foley once was, unstoppable.

:13:49.:13:51.

Such raw emotion is a powerful force,

:13:52.:13:52.

This tackle was deemed dangerous enough for a red card.

:13:53.:13:58.

A grieving Munster would need to play an hour with 14 men.

:13:59.:14:01.

something propelling Simon Zebo to the line.

:14:02.:14:05.

After the break, they wrestled a penalty try.

:14:06.:14:07.

but Munster were playing rugby in their boss's image.

:14:08.:14:13.

Rory Scannell scored the fifth and final try.

:14:14.:14:16.

An excellent win, a bonus point win,

:14:17.:14:18.

but this was more - this was Foley's victory.

:14:19.:14:21.

They were tributes at Ulster too, there came down to Paddy Jackson's

:14:22.:14:31.

nerve and boot in the final minutes, from two points down to one up.

:14:32.:14:35.

Northampton won their opening match with the very last kick. They were

:14:36.:14:40.

20-0 down at half-time. After that, there was no catching Castro. If

:14:41.:14:45.

this was a day when we saw rugby at its most raw, at Saracens we also

:14:46.:14:49.

saw the sport played with a clinical craft. The reigning champions were

:14:50.:14:55.

not at their peak against a spirited Scarlets but still scored 44 points,

:14:56.:14:59.

a skill only the best possess. Patrick Gearey, BBC News.

:15:00.:15:02.

has narrowly missed out on qualifying for the WTA finals.

:15:03.:15:06.

She needed Svetlana Kuznetsova to lose today's Kremlin Cup final,

:15:07.:15:08.

but the Russian won and took the final spot in the end-of-year event.

:15:09.:15:11.

And Kyle Edmund lost his first ATP Tour semifinal

:15:12.:15:13.

Edmund took the first set but eventually lost in three.

:15:14.:15:19.

Lewis Hamilton is on pole position for the United States Grand Prix.

:15:20.:15:23.

has been sold at auction this afternoon for ?85,000.

:15:24.:15:32.

It's thought it was used by a steward to open a cupboard

:15:33.:15:35.

containing life jackets as the ship sank in 1912.

:15:36.:15:41.

that, for some, unlocked a path to salvation.

:15:42.:15:47.

it was for a life jacket cupboard on board the Titanic.

:15:48.:15:54.

of the luxury liner as she sailed in April 1912.

:15:55.:16:00.

The key was later found on Sidney Sedunary,

:16:01.:16:03.

a third class steward who, according to the official inquiry,

:16:04.:16:08.

The key was one of 250 lots auctioned today.

:16:09.:16:14.

Another is a letter written by Charles Lightoller,

:16:15.:16:18.

the most senior officer to survive the Titanic.

:16:19.:16:21.

In it, he recounts the astonishing mindset

:16:22.:16:25.

in the knowledge that they had done their duty."

:16:26.:16:33.

"Each one individually came up to me and shook hands."

:16:34.:16:36.

"We merely exchanged the words, 'Goodbye, old man.'"

:16:37.:16:38.

These unseen photos of the ship's captain, Edward Smith,

:16:39.:16:41.

The Titanic story is so compelling, there are bidders involved today

:16:42.:16:48.

from the United States, Australia, India and China.

:16:49.:16:52.

It's a story that retains universal appeal.

:16:53.:16:58.

The letter with that gentlemanly farewell sold for ?34,000,

:16:59.:17:02.

whilst the key to the life-jacket locker went for ?85,000.

:17:03.:17:09.

This is not about intrinsic value, like diamonds or gold.

:17:10.:17:12.

This is about the heart, the head and history.
