The plight of the civilians of western Mosul - | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
a special report on the hardship after so called Islamic State. | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
There are chaotic scenes in Iraq's second city as the authorities | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
try to provide for up to half a million people. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
They say they have no running water, no electricity, no access to medical | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
supplies and people in the queue are really afraid that the food | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
is going to run out before they are able to get some. | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
After a month of fierce fighting, we'll be live in northern Iraq | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
A man is arrested on suspicion of murdering a one-year-old. | :00:36. | :00:47. | |
North Korea's leader celebrates a successful rocket test, | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
but it's stoking tensions across the region. | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
George Osborne's latest job sparks a rethink of the rules for MPs - | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
the Committee on Standards meets this week. | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
And tributes flood in for Chuck Berry - | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
remembered tonight as a founding father of rock and roll. | :01:06. | :01:27. | |
One month on from the renewed offensive to finally re-take Iraq's | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
second city from so-called Islamic State. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
We have a special report on the plight of the civilians of Mosul. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
Many thousands have fled the fighting in the western half | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
of the city in recent weeks - but the half a million people | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
still there are facing a new battle to survive. | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
Amid shortages of food and other essentials, | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
our Middle East correspondent Orla Guerin has seen the desperation | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
first hand - from the edge of Al Mansur district of western Mosul. | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
In the clamour for help, many go empty-handed. | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
The gunfire from Iraqi soldiers trying to control the crowd | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
Survivors of the caliphate, now at risk from hunger. | :02:14. | :02:29. | |
Troops not keen for the chaos to be caught on camera. | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
In the distance, smoke from an IS car bomb. | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
But those who flee the fighting here, end up in overcrowded camps. | :02:37. | :02:46. | |
There are no good options for the people of Western Mosul. | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
You can see here the utter desperation in this area. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
Local people here tell us, this is the first aid supplies | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
They say they have no running water, no electricity, no access | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
People in the queue are really afraid that the food is going | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
to run out before they are able to get some. | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
Barely able to walk, but with many mouths to feed, | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
Hamda Mohamed, whose family is living on bread and water. | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
I'm crying, she says, because my children don't understand | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
Another woman has suffered a double loss. | :03:32. | :03:55. | |
As the troops keep watch, there's tension in the crowd. | :03:56. | :04:12. | |
With the frustration building, Hatem Ahmed compares the security | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
What's the difference between the IS police, | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
The IS police beat us, and they beat us, | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
Is this the liberation they have brought us? | :04:31. | :04:41. | |
Nearby, some are returning to this battle-scarred neighbourhood. | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
His home was occupied by IS for three months. | :04:48. | :04:56. | |
He says they threatened to hang his wife because she | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
Isis knocked through the wall, he tells us, so they could move | :04:59. | :05:08. | |
Their reign of terror has destroyed the fabric of his neighbourhood. | :05:09. | :05:21. | |
We can never live again with those who collaborated with IS, he says. | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
If I catch the man who informed on my wife, | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
The battle for Mosul may now be in its final phase. | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
This ancient city emerging from modern-day barbarity. | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
When the caliphate crumbles, there will be much to rebuild, | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
And Orla joins us tonight live from Erbil in northern Iraq. | :05:46. | :05:55. | |
You taught there about the battle for Mosul, what sense have of how | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
far this offences has got to achieving it same? This has now been | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
dragging on for more than five months, but there is no doubt we are | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
seeing the dying days of IS in Mosul. The final phase of the battle | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
is proving to be the most difficult. But was always expected to be the | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
case. Iraqi troops are fighting in the old city area of western Mosul. | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
That is a narrow series of alleyways, and maze of streets. They | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
cannot move forward there with heavy armoured vehicles. They are actually | :06:34. | :06:45. | |
advancing on foot. One commander we spoke to a few hours ago said this | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
is the hardest fighting, harder by the day. There are fierce clashes | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
taking place. They are trying to proceed with caution, because this | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
area is still densely populated. They are closing in on a key | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
strategic objective. That is a centuries-old mosque. This was the | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
place where the leader of IS made his first public appearance back in | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
2014 after IS declared its caliphate. Today the black IS flag | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
is still flying at the mosque but the security forces tell us they | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
expect to reach it within days. If and when it is taken, it will be a | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
key symbolic loss for IS. The UN is warning that they expect or fear | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
that many more civilians will flee in the weeks ahead. They are saying | :07:29. | :07:41. | |
perhaps as many as 300,000. As they leave they risk being shot by IS. If | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
they stay they risk coming under fire from mortars, shrapnel and air | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
strikes. And they have to endure an increasingly dire humanitarian | :07:49. | :07:49. | |
situation as we ourselves have witnessed. | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
Police have arrested a man on suspicion of murdering a one-year | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
Bidhya Sagar Das - who's thought to be the toddler's | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
father will also be questioned over the attempted murder | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
of a second child - the boy's twin sister. | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
The top floor flat of this building in Finsbury Park | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
is now a crime scene, where a one-year-old boy was killed | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
and his twin sister was left critically injured, | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
in what local people describe as a brutal attack. | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
Police began door to door enquiries early this morning, | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
searching the area immediately around the property | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
Following closely behind were forensic teams, | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
bagging and sealing what could be evidence in this | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
It was just after 11 o'clock last night that the police were called | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
by neighbours, who said they had heard the children's | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
mother screaming that her babies had been hurt. | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
Do you want me to call the police or the ambulance for you? | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
I asked her, what's wrong, what's happening? | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
Police have now arrested this man, Bidhya Sagar Das. | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
He is believed to be the children's father. | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
A neighbour told the BBC that until two days ago he had been | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
Officers had spent the day searching for the 33-year-old, | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
who they say was not at the flat by the time the emergency | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
We expect forensic teams to work here at the flat overnight | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
as investigators try to piece together the moments before | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
the attack, in which a little boy was senselessly killed. | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
His sister has been operated on in an East London hospital. | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
We understand her condition is critical but stable. | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
Sangita Myska, BBC News, Finsbury Park, north London. | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
The final day of the US Secretary of State's East Asia tour has been | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
overshadowed by North Korea's announcement of a breakthrough | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
The North Korean leader has been pictured celebrating what he said | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
was a successful test, as Rex Tillerson warned from Beijing | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
that tensions on the Korean pensinsula are at a dangerous level. | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
Our China editor Carrie Gracie sent this report from Beijing. | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
The smiles were somewhat strained when when the Chinese president | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
They had intended to steady anxieties about where US-China | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
But as these players posed for the cameras, | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
With these pictures of Kim Jong Un, North Korea announced the successful | :10:20. | :10:29. | |
test of a new rocket engine for its space and satellite programme. | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
He's already warned that his nuclear missiles will soon be able | :10:34. | :10:43. | |
Mr Tillerson was in Asia to warn that US patience is at an end, | :10:44. | :10:54. | |
asking China to do more to persuade its North Korean ally | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
It's frustrated by North Korea's recklessness and anxious | :10:59. | :11:07. | |
to find common ground with the new Trump administration. | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
But it's also sceptical about whether more economic pressure | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
would force North Korea to renounce nuclear weapons. | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
And it's suspicious of American intentions in the region. | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
China wants fewer Americans in Asia, not more. | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
But to meet the threat from Pyongyang, US troops | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
And the US is deploying a new anti-missile system there. | :11:31. | :11:39. | |
So Kim Jong Un stole the headlines as the big powers failed again | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
His rocket test, a calculated message of defiance to both the US | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
And Carrie is live in Beijing for us. | :11:52. | :12:03. | |
What are the Chinese government's options in how to deal with this | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
latest situation from North Korea? I think it feels the options are | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
limited at this point. The problem is it doesn't seem North Korea as | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
simply a nuclear weapons problem, it sees North Korea as a strategic | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
problem. North Korea is the buffer for China against US strategic | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
rivalry, with the US system based in South Korea. However much they | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
loathe Kim Jong Un, and they do, they can't really let his regime | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
collapsed because that might possibly put a reunified career as a | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
US ally with US troops on China's north-east border. That is the risk | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
for them. That means they will support his economy and they will | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
resist ratcheting up economic sanctions against him in the way | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
that the US is now putting pressure on them to do. And cunning Kim Jong | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
Un knows all of this perfectly well. He knows what he has to do to | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
survive is to prevent a grand strategic bargain between the US and | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
China and go on fuelling mistrust between them. And given all that, I | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
think what we will see in the next couple of weeks in the run-up to the | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
expected summit in Florida will possibly see more show stealing | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
moments from North Korea like the rocket test of the weekend. Thank | :13:27. | :13:27. | |
you. The committee which draws up | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
the rules on MPs having second jobs is to meet this week, | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
following the appointment of the former Chancellor George Osborne | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
as Editor Our political correspondent | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
Chris Mason is here. How much concern is there over | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
Mr Osborne's new job? I think it's fair to say it rather | :13:41. | :13:53. | |
flabbergasted Westminster when this announcement was made on Friday. | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
Jaws were on the floor. It is practice in editable that this | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
latest addition to the portfolio of extra curricular activities for the | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
former Chancellor will provoke. I have been looking at some sums | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
tonight. Around 100 MPs out of 650 have some sort of other job. There | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
are doctors, lawyers, farmers and a dentist. The chairman of the | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
Committee on Standards in Public life said there is a balancing act | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
to be struck between time devoted to parliamentary duties and the option | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
of pursuing other professional interests. He said at this meeting | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
which will happen on Thursday they will discuss exactly that balance. I | :14:34. | :14:43. | |
think he is hinting at the idea that the heavy nature of the order | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
Osborne's diary might be stretching it it a little bit. This is just the | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
start of the process. George Osborne has six jobs in total. Some of them | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
are pretty small and don't require a huge amount of time. He says he can | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
manage the juggling act. This is the beginning of what could be a long | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
process to change the rules so it is not guaranteed rules will definitely | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
change. Thank you. Nicola Sturgeon has said that | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
an independent Scotland would apply to re-join the European Union | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
and would keep the pound. Scotland's First Minister also said | :15:10. | :15:11. | |
she was determined to hold a referendum by spring 2019 - | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
but the exact date might depend The Conservative leader in Scotland, | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
Ruth Davidson, insisted there was no need for a | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
referendum and said the majority The Liberal Democrat leader, | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
Tim Farron, has urged Conservative MPs who oppose Theresa May's vision | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
of Brexit to join his party. Speaking at the Lib Dems' | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
spring conference in York, Mr Farron accused the Prime Minister | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
of pursuing the same "aggressive nationalistic" | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
agenda as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and the French | :15:39. | :15:40. | |
National Front leader, A man's been arrested | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
after a Thomas Gainsborough painting at the National Gallery | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
was vandalised. The 1785 work, best known | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
as The Morning Walk, has been removed from display, | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
after it was attacked The NHS is facing a "mission | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
impossible" to meet the standards and targets required | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
by the Government. The organisation which represents | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
health trusts in England - NHS Providers - has said money | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
allocated for the next financial year isn't enough to meet | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
waiting time targets It's been a winter of | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
unprecedented strain on the NHS, with hospitals full - | :16:16. | :16:26. | |
or close to it - The budget earlier this month | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
included new funding for social care and investment in A | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
units in England. NHS providers representing hospitals | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
and other trusts said that may ease some of the pressure, | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
but there'll still be a yawning gap in the resources needed just to keep | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
services ticking over. This is the first time in recent NHS | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
history that trusts are saying they cannot deliver the key accident | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
and emergency and elective surgery That's before the year | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
has even started. That's the first time ever | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
that's actually happened. The warning comes after | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said hospitals in England should get | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
back to the target of seeing or assessing 95% of patients | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
in A within four hours. It's not going to be overnight, | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
but it is essential. I am expecting the NHS to return | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
to that target during the course NHS providers say there'll be big | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
increases in the number of patients in England who lose out next year | :17:24. | :17:31. | |
because key targets are missed. With 1.8 million waiting more | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
than four hours in A, and on another key bench mark, | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
waiting times for routine operations and procedures, | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
100,000 patients will wait more than 18 weeks before | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
their surgery takes place. The Department of Health said | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
the comments fail to acknowledge that the NHS has a strong plan | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
to improve performance - others argue efficiency should | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
be the top priority. And that the service can curb costs | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
by treating more people The NHS and social care have | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
had five emergency cash injections in the last two | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
and a half years alone. What it needs is a whole programme | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
of modernisation, change. I fear that another dollop | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
of extra money would stop It's a big debate in Scotland, | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
Wales and Northern Ireland Is it simply a question of money | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
or can the NHS transform the way it provides services as a growing | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
and ageing population increases the demand | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
for health and social care. The music world has been paying | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
tribute to Chuck Berry - the guitarist and songwriter who - | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
for many - invented rock and roll. Sir Mick Jagger said Chuck Berry had | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
"lit up" his teenage years and "blown life" | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
into the Rolling Stones' dreams. Our arts editor Will Gompertz looks | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
back at the life of a man All Chuck Berry classics today, | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
but revolutionary back in the mid-1950s, when the one-time | :19:06. | :19:39. | |
hairdresser from St Louis rocked America with his electrified fusion | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
of gospel, blues and country. He gave the kids what they wanted, | :19:44. | :19:53. | |
songs about the teenage dream of fast cars, hot dates | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
and unrestrained freedom. That's why I wrote about school, | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
half the young people go to school, Half of the people have cars, | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
I wrote about cars and mostly all of the people, if not now, | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
they will soon be in love. His brashness gave rock an attitude, | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
his guitar licks a foundation The Beach Boys, the Beatles | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
and The Rolling Stones are indebted to Chuck Berry, | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
as Mick Jagger tweeted today. "Your music is ingrained | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
inside us for ever". Chuck Berry makes the guitar | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
the rock and roll instrument. You can't lug a piano | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
to your friend's house but you can take a guitar and Chuck Berry uses | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
these riffs, these wonderful introductions in a way that | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
Keith Richards learned, Chuck Berry was never slow to remind | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
