:05:42. > :05:45.When the caliphate crumbles, there will be much to rebuild,
:05:46. > :05:55.And Orla joins us tonight live from Erbil in northern Iraq.
:05:56. > :06:02.You taught there about the battle for Mosul, what sense have of how
:06:03. > :06:09.far this offences has got to achieving it same? This has now been
:06:10. > :06:14.dragging on for more than five months, but there is no doubt we are
:06:15. > :06:19.seeing the dying days of IS in Mosul. The final phase of the battle
:06:20. > :06:24.is proving to be the most difficult. But was always expected to be the
:06:25. > :06:29.case. Iraqi troops are fighting in the old city area of western Mosul.
:06:30. > :06:33.That is a narrow series of alleyways, and maze of streets. They
:06:34. > :06:45.cannot move forward there with heavy armoured vehicles. They are actually
:06:46. > :06:48.advancing on foot. One commander we spoke to a few hours ago said this
:06:49. > :06:50.is the hardest fighting, harder by the day. There are fierce clashes
:06:51. > :06:52.taking place. They are trying to proceed with caution, because this
:06:53. > :06:57.area is still densely populated. They are closing in on a key
:06:58. > :07:03.strategic objective. That is a centuries-old mosque. This was the
:07:04. > :07:08.place where the leader of IS made his first public appearance back in
:07:09. > :07:12.2014 after IS declared its caliphate. Today the black IS flag
:07:13. > :07:16.is still flying at the mosque but the security forces tell us they
:07:17. > :07:22.expect to reach it within days. If and when it is taken, it will be a
:07:23. > :07:28.key symbolic loss for IS. The UN is warning that they expect or fear
:07:29. > :07:41.that many more civilians will flee in the weeks ahead. They are saying
:07:42. > :07:45.perhaps as many as 300,000. As they leave they risk being shot by IS. If
:07:46. > :07:48.they stay they risk coming under fire from mortars, shrapnel and air
:07:49. > :07:49.strikes. And they have to endure an increasingly dire humanitarian
:07:50. > :07:55.situation as we ourselves have witnessed.
:07:56. > :07:58.Police have arrested a man on suspicion of murdering a one-year
:07:59. > :08:02.Bidhya Sagar Das - who's thought to be the toddler's
:08:03. > :08:05.father will also be questioned over the attempted murder
:08:06. > :08:07.of a second child - the boy's twin sister.
:08:08. > :08:10.The top floor flat of this building in Finsbury Park
:08:11. > :08:13.is now a crime scene, where a one-year-old boy was killed
:08:14. > :08:15.and his twin sister was left critically injured,
:08:16. > :08:17.in what local people describe as a brutal attack.
:08:18. > :08:19.Police began door to door enquiries early this morning,
:08:20. > :08:22.searching the area immediately around the property
:08:23. > :08:27.Following closely behind were forensic teams,
:08:28. > :08:29.bagging and sealing what could be evidence in this
:08:30. > :08:35.It was just after 11 o'clock last night that the police were called
:08:36. > :08:38.by neighbours, who said they had heard the children's
:08:39. > :08:41.mother screaming that her babies had been hurt.
:08:42. > :08:48.Do you want me to call the police or the ambulance for you?
:08:49. > :08:51.I asked her, what's wrong, what's happening?
:08:52. > :08:58.Police have now arrested this man, Bidhya Sagar Das.
:08:59. > :09:02.He is believed to be the children's father.
:09:03. > :09:05.A neighbour told the BBC that until two days ago he had been
:09:06. > :09:10.Officers had spent the day searching for the 33-year-old,
:09:11. > :09:14.who they say was not at the flat by the time the emergency
:09:15. > :09:20.We expect forensic teams to work here at the flat overnight
:09:21. > :09:22.as investigators try to piece together the moments before
:09:23. > :09:27.the attack, in which a little boy was senselessly killed.
:09:28. > :09:30.His sister has been operated on in an East London hospital.
:09:31. > :09:34.We understand her condition is critical but stable.
:09:35. > :09:40.Sangita Myska, BBC News, Finsbury Park, north London.
:09:41. > :09:43.The final day of the US Secretary of State's East Asia tour has been
:09:44. > :09:45.overshadowed by North Korea's announcement of a breakthrough
:09:46. > :09:51.The North Korean leader has been pictured celebrating what he said
:09:52. > :09:54.was a successful test, as Rex Tillerson warned from Beijing
:09:55. > :09:58.that tensions on the Korean pensinsula are at a dangerous level.
:09:59. > :10:04.Our China editor Carrie Gracie sent this report from Beijing.
:10:05. > :10:07.The smiles were somewhat strained when when the Chinese president
:10:08. > :10:14.They had intended to steady anxieties about where US-China
:10:15. > :10:19.But as these players posed for the cameras,
:10:20. > :10:29.With these pictures of Kim Jong Un, North Korea announced the successful
:10:30. > :10:33.test of a new rocket engine for its space and satellite programme.
:10:34. > :10:43.He's already warned that his nuclear missiles will soon be able
:10:44. > :10:54.Mr Tillerson was in Asia to warn that US patience is at an end,
:10:55. > :10:58.asking China to do more to persuade its North Korean ally
:10:59. > :11:07.It's frustrated by North Korea's recklessness and anxious
:11:08. > :11:11.to find common ground with the new Trump administration.
:11:12. > :11:14.But it's also sceptical about whether more economic pressure
:11:15. > :11:19.would force North Korea to renounce nuclear weapons.
:11:20. > :11:24.And it's suspicious of American intentions in the region.
:11:25. > :11:28.China wants fewer Americans in Asia, not more.
:11:29. > :11:30.But to meet the threat from Pyongyang, US troops
:11:31. > :11:39.And the US is deploying a new anti-missile system there.
:11:40. > :11:43.So Kim Jong Un stole the headlines as the big powers failed again
:11:44. > :11:51.His rocket test, a calculated message of defiance to both the US
:11:52. > :12:03.And Carrie is live in Beijing for us.
:12:04. > :12:10.What are the Chinese government's options in how to deal with this
:12:11. > :12:14.latest situation from North Korea? I think it feels the options are
:12:15. > :12:19.limited at this point. The problem is it doesn't seem North Korea as
:12:20. > :12:24.simply a nuclear weapons problem, it sees North Korea as a strategic
:12:25. > :12:30.problem. North Korea is the buffer for China against US strategic
:12:31. > :12:33.rivalry, with the US system based in South Korea. However much they
:12:34. > :12:39.loathe Kim Jong Un, and they do, they can't really let his regime
:12:40. > :12:44.collapsed because that might possibly put a reunified career as a
:12:45. > :12:48.US ally with US troops on China's north-east border. That is the risk
:12:49. > :12:53.for them. That means they will support his economy and they will
:12:54. > :12:57.resist ratcheting up economic sanctions against him in the way
:12:58. > :13:01.that the US is now putting pressure on them to do. And cunning Kim Jong
:13:02. > :13:06.Un knows all of this perfectly well. He knows what he has to do to
:13:07. > :13:11.survive is to prevent a grand strategic bargain between the US and
:13:12. > :13:14.China and go on fuelling mistrust between them. And given all that, I
:13:15. > :13:22.think what we will see in the next couple of weeks in the run-up to the
:13:23. > :13:26.expected summit in Florida will possibly see more show stealing
:13:27. > :13:27.moments from North Korea like the rocket test of the weekend. Thank
:13:28. > :13:30.you. The committee which draws up
:13:31. > :13:33.the rules on MPs having second jobs is to meet this week,
:13:34. > :13:35.following the appointment of the former Chancellor George Osborne
:13:36. > :13:37.as Editor Our political correspondent
:13:38. > :13:40.Chris Mason is here. How much concern is there over
:13:41. > :13:53.Mr Osborne's new job? I think it's fair to say it rather
:13:54. > :13:57.flabbergasted Westminster when this announcement was made on Friday.
:13:58. > :14:00.Jaws were on the floor. It is practice in editable that this
:14:01. > :14:07.latest addition to the portfolio of extra curricular activities for the
:14:08. > :14:13.former Chancellor will provoke. I have been looking at some sums
:14:14. > :14:18.tonight. Around 100 MPs out of 650 have some sort of other job. There
:14:19. > :14:21.are doctors, lawyers, farmers and a dentist. The chairman of the
:14:22. > :14:26.Committee on Standards in Public life said there is a balancing act
:14:27. > :14:29.to be struck between time devoted to parliamentary duties and the option
:14:30. > :14:33.of pursuing other professional interests. He said at this meeting
:14:34. > :14:43.which will happen on Thursday they will discuss exactly that balance. I
:14:44. > :14:45.think he is hinting at the idea that the heavy nature of the order
:14:46. > :14:48.Osborne's diary might be stretching it it a little bit. This is just the
:14:49. > :14:51.start of the process. George Osborne has six jobs in total. Some of them
:14:52. > :14:55.are pretty small and don't require a huge amount of time. He says he can
:14:56. > :14:59.manage the juggling act. This is the beginning of what could be a long
:15:00. > :15:03.process to change the rules so it is not guaranteed rules will definitely
:15:04. > :15:06.change. Thank you. Nicola Sturgeon has said that
:15:07. > :15:09.an independent Scotland would apply to re-join the European Union
:15:10. > :15:11.and would keep the pound. Scotland's First Minister also said
:15:12. > :15:13.she was determined to hold a referendum by spring 2019 -
:15:14. > :15:16.but the exact date might depend The Conservative leader in Scotland,
:15:17. > :15:21.Ruth Davidson, insisted there was no need for a
:15:22. > :15:23.referendum and said the majority The Liberal Democrat leader,
:15:24. > :15:28.Tim Farron, has urged Conservative MPs who oppose Theresa May's vision
:15:29. > :15:32.of Brexit to join his party. Speaking at the Lib Dems'
:15:33. > :15:35.spring conference in York, Mr Farron accused the Prime Minister
:15:36. > :15:38.of pursuing the same "aggressive nationalistic"
:15:39. > :15:40.agenda as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and the French
:15:41. > :15:43.National Front leader, A man's been arrested
:15:44. > :15:50.after a Thomas Gainsborough painting at the National Gallery
:15:51. > :15:52.was vandalised. The 1785 work, best known
:15:53. > :15:55.as The Morning Walk, has been removed from display,
:15:56. > :15:57.after it was attacked The NHS is facing a "mission
:15:58. > :16:03.impossible" to meet the standards and targets required
:16:04. > :16:07.by the Government. The organisation which represents
:16:08. > :16:09.health trusts in England - NHS Providers - has said money
:16:10. > :16:12.allocated for the next financial year isn't enough to meet
:16:13. > :16:15.waiting time targets It's been a winter of
:16:16. > :16:26.unprecedented strain on the NHS, with hospitals full -
:16:27. > :16:29.or close to it - The budget earlier this month
:16:30. > :16:33.included new funding for social care and investment in A
:16:34. > :16:36.units in England. NHS providers representing hospitals
:16:37. > :16:40.and other trusts said that may ease some of the pressure,
:16:41. > :16:43.but there'll still be a yawning gap in the resources needed just to keep
:16:44. > :16:47.services ticking over. This is the first time in recent NHS
:16:48. > :16:50.history that trusts are saying they cannot deliver the key accident
:16:51. > :16:53.and emergency and elective surgery That's before the year
:16:54. > :16:59.has even started. That's the first time ever
:17:00. > :17:02.that's actually happened. The warning comes after
:17:03. > :17:08.the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said hospitals in England should get
:17:09. > :17:11.back to the target of seeing or assessing 95% of patients
:17:12. > :17:16.in A within four hours. It's not going to be overnight,
:17:17. > :17:19.but it is essential. I am expecting the NHS to return
:17:20. > :17:23.to that target during the course NHS providers say there'll be big
:17:24. > :17:31.increases in the number of patients in England who lose out next year
:17:32. > :17:36.because key targets are missed. With 1.8 million waiting more
:17:37. > :17:40.than four hours in A, and on another key bench mark,
:17:41. > :17:43.waiting times for routine operations and procedures,
:17:44. > :17:46.100,000 patients will wait more than 18 weeks before
:17:47. > :17:52.their surgery takes place. The Department of Health said
:17:53. > :17:55.the comments fail to acknowledge that the NHS has a strong plan
:17:56. > :17:59.to improve performance - others argue efficiency should
:18:00. > :18:02.be the top priority. And that the service can curb costs
:18:03. > :18:05.by treating more people The NHS and social care have
:18:06. > :18:11.had five emergency cash injections in the last two
:18:12. > :18:15.and a half years alone. What it needs is a whole programme
:18:16. > :18:21.of modernisation, change. I fear that another dollop
:18:22. > :18:25.of extra money would stop It's a big debate in Scotland,
:18:26. > :18:30.Wales and Northern Ireland Is it simply a question of money
:18:31. > :18:36.or can the NHS transform the way it provides services as a growing
:18:37. > :18:39.and ageing population increases the demand
:18:40. > :18:47.for health and social care. The music world has been paying
:18:48. > :18:51.tribute to Chuck Berry - the guitarist and songwriter who -
:18:52. > :18:54.for many - invented rock and roll. Sir Mick Jagger said Chuck Berry had
:18:55. > :18:59."lit up" his teenage years and "blown life"
:19:00. > :19:02.into the Rolling Stones' dreams. Our arts editor Will Gompertz looks
:19:03. > :19:05.back at the life of a man All Chuck Berry classics today,
:19:06. > :19:39.but revolutionary back in the mid-1950s, when the one-time
:19:40. > :19:43.hairdresser from St Louis rocked America with his electrified fusion
:19:44. > :19:53.of gospel, blues and country. He gave the kids what they wanted,
:19:54. > :19:57.songs about the teenage dream of fast cars, hot dates
:19:58. > :20:04.and unrestrained freedom. That's why I wrote about school,
:20:05. > :20:09.half the young people go to school, Half of the people have cars,
:20:10. > :20:15.I wrote about cars and mostly all of the people, if not now,
:20:16. > :20:20.they will soon be in love. His brashness gave rock an attitude,
:20:21. > :20:24.his guitar licks a foundation The Beach Boys, the Beatles
:20:25. > :20:30.and The Rolling Stones are indebted to Chuck Berry,
:20:31. > :20:34.as Mick Jagger tweeted today. "Your music is ingrained
:20:35. > :20:40.inside us for ever". Chuck Berry makes the guitar
:20:41. > :20:44.the rock and roll instrument. You can't lug a piano
:20:45. > :20:48.to your friend's house but you can take a guitar and Chuck Berry uses
:20:49. > :20:51.these riffs, these wonderful introductions in a way that
:20:52. > :20:56.Keith Richards learned, Chuck Berry was never slow to remind
:20:57. > :21:05.Richards who was the boss. I've been living
:21:06. > :21:07.for 60 years with it. Is it going to be around
:21:08. > :21:16.after we are all dead and gone? In 1962 Chuck Berry was sent
:21:17. > :21:19.to prison for having sexual When he was released two years later
:21:20. > :21:27.he found that his wife had left him and so to a large extent
:21:28. > :21:29.had his songwriting mojo. He continued to perform,
:21:30. > :21:36.duck walk and all. You can argue all day long
:21:37. > :21:40.as to who was the father of rock music, but one thing is for certain,
:21:41. > :21:51.Chuck Berry was there at the birth. Chuck Berry - who's
