:00:18. > :00:19.the best possible Brexit outcome - Gibraltar's chief minister says

:00:20. > :00:34.When we get the deal in Brexit, it must be a deal for the United

:00:35. > :00:37.Kingdom in terms of Q2 trade, and it should only be fair that it applies

:00:38. > :00:42.to Gibraltar. A race to find survivors in Colombia

:00:57. > :00:59.of so called Islamic State fighters appearing to use children

:01:00. > :01:07.as human shields. And Celtic celebrate a 6th

:01:08. > :01:36.successive Scottish league title. The Prime Minister has told

:01:37. > :01:40.the people of Gibraltar that the UK would "never" allow it to slip

:01:41. > :01:42.from British control In a telephone call aimed

:01:43. > :01:45.at reassuring the territory about its future after Brexit,

:01:46. > :01:47.Theresa May said Britain The EU's negotiation guidelines have

:01:48. > :01:50.suggested that Spain, which claims sovereignty over

:01:51. > :01:52.Gibraltar, could have a say in whether a future trade deal

:01:53. > :01:56.with the UK will apply to it. Here's our political

:01:57. > :02:12.correspondent Iain Watson. Gibraltar has been British for

:02:13. > :02:17.almost 300 years, nearly as long as the UK has existed. And nearly all

:02:18. > :02:26.of its residents want it to remain that way. But, evoking the Falklands

:02:27. > :02:31.conflict, a former Conservative minister said this could be taken to

:02:32. > :02:35.task. Another woman Prime Minister sent a task force halfway across the

:02:36. > :02:41.world to protect another small group of British people against another

:02:42. > :02:44.Spanish speaking country. I am absolutely clear that our current

:02:45. > :02:50.woman Prime Minister will share the same resolve in relation to

:02:51. > :02:56.Gibraltar, as her predecessor did. Don't panic, no one is preparing to

:02:57. > :03:01.cross this border in anger. Rather than seizing sovereignty, Spain is

:03:02. > :03:06.more likely to want a say over Gibraltar's low tax regime. The BBC

:03:07. > :03:11.has been told Gibraltar's government press Downing Street to mention its

:03:12. > :03:19.interests in the Prime Minister's letter triggering the exit strategy.

:03:20. > :03:25.The row over Gibraltar was always likely to focus on trade and

:03:26. > :03:28.taxation, rather than territory. So it was significant when the Prime

:03:29. > :03:34.Minister called Gibraltar's leading politician today, she made a

:03:35. > :03:39.steadfast report, not just for the Southern tree, but its economy. And

:03:40. > :03:43.the chief of Gibraltar seemed reassured. When the time comes we

:03:44. > :03:47.make the right decisions with the Prime Minister leading us in those

:03:48. > :03:50.negotiations, which will be in the interests of the people of Gibraltar

:03:51. > :03:56.and pursuit of their wishes. But Labour says it still poses an

:03:57. > :04:00.economic risk to Gibraltar. How will the deal we come to with the

:04:01. > :04:04.European Union affect the Gibraltar economy? What access will be have

:04:05. > :04:09.access to the single market because the economy could be strangled if

:04:10. > :04:13.the negotiations go wrong. This is just the start of the process of

:04:14. > :04:20.leaving the European Union. Downing Street has moved to defuse any row

:04:21. > :04:21.involving Gibraltar, but difficult negotiations with the EU and Spain

:04:22. > :04:23.lie ahead. Around 30,000 people live

:04:24. > :04:26.in Gibraltar with many Spaniards coming into the territory

:04:27. > :04:27.to work there. After its overwhelming

:04:28. > :04:29.vote to remain in the EU in last year's referendum,

:04:30. > :04:31.our correspondent Tom Burridge reports from Gibraltar on the mood

:04:32. > :04:37.about the Brexit talks. The Rock's relationship with it

:04:38. > :04:45.neighbour has always been fractious. Cue defiance from this very

:04:46. > :04:54.Gibraltarian and British cabbie. You can close the border down,

:04:55. > :04:59.you can starve us economically. At the end of the day,

:05:00. > :05:02.who ever remains here in Gibraltar, there is only one person,

:05:03. > :05:05.one Gibraltarian, Gibraltar will still be British

:05:06. > :05:07.and Gibraltarian under that one That's all that counts,

:05:08. > :05:12.that's all that matters. Britain's support for this British

:05:13. > :05:16.territory, today unflinchingly. Britain's support for this British

:05:17. > :05:18.territory, today unflinching. But there is concern

:05:19. > :05:23.here about what Brexit will mean. We've just got to look

:05:24. > :05:28.at the interest and 30,000 people in Gibraltar,

:05:29. > :05:30.and that importance to them. Somehow we always manage to get by,

:05:31. > :05:36.so I'm sure we will find a way. Gibraltar's moneymaking

:05:37. > :05:39.machine is a success story and its relationship with the EU has

:05:40. > :05:42.helped that happen. Paul Graham owns an

:05:43. > :05:48.investment company here. Gibraltar desperately,

:05:49. > :05:54.from the financial services, but from all the other trade,

:05:55. > :05:57.we need, we need the EU market. So I think Gibraltar will be

:05:58. > :05:59.fully exposed and I think Spain will have some sort

:06:00. > :06:02.of sovereignty on Gibraltar. And with southern Spain

:06:03. > :06:05.just over the border, still struggling with low growth

:06:06. > :06:09.and high unemployment, Madrid has long argued that

:06:10. > :06:12.Gibraltar's setup is unfair. Gibraltar, in the

:06:13. > :06:16.European Union has it all. It is an economic sweet

:06:17. > :06:20.spot with low taxes. And access to Spain, just over

:06:21. > :06:26.there and the rest of Europe. But the Rock is now a bargaining

:06:27. > :06:30.chip for the European side. And the wider negotiation

:06:31. > :06:33.between Britain and the EU looks But a bad deal for Gibraltar

:06:34. > :06:39.and Spaniards will also suffer. So Gibraltar can go out

:06:40. > :06:57.to enjoy our places, you know? So there needs to be

:06:58. > :06:58.friendly agreement? Gibraltar thrives on being a place

:06:59. > :07:04.apart and with our exit from the EU, its rocky relationship

:07:05. > :07:05.with its neighbour Rescue teams in Colombia

:07:06. > :07:13.are continuing to search through tonnes of mud and debris

:07:14. > :07:16.for anyone who might have survived devastating mudslides

:07:17. > :07:18.in the south of the country. More than 200 people have been

:07:19. > :07:26.killed but with many the Colombian president says

:07:27. > :07:32.the final death toll The mud engulfed the town of Mocoa,

:07:33. > :07:37.burying entire neighbourhoods, bad weather is now hampering

:07:38. > :07:39.the rescue effort. When the rolling wall

:07:40. > :07:45.of water and debris rushed through here on Friday night,

:07:46. > :07:49.it swept away houses, The painstaking search

:07:50. > :08:00.for survivors is continuing. Rescue workers moving quietly

:08:01. > :08:04.through flattened neighbourhoods, hoping for sounds of life

:08:05. > :08:07.in the wreckage. With every hour that passes,

:08:08. > :08:13.hopes of finding more Within hours of the deluge,

:08:14. > :08:20.message boards went up, Many of those unaccounted

:08:21. > :08:28.for are children. "We are searching

:08:29. > :08:30.for a baby", she says. Closest to the river,

:08:31. > :08:46.the streets are now boulder fields, full of people trying to retrieve

:08:47. > :08:51.what they can of their lives. The shock of this disaster

:08:52. > :08:56.is still sinking in. In the worst affected areas,

:08:57. > :08:59.people struggle to find the places The rains that caused this flood

:09:00. > :09:06.were unusually heavy, but deforestation upstream played

:09:07. > :09:09.a part, too. Emergency teams have been

:09:10. > :09:12.working here night and day, More help from the

:09:13. > :09:23.government is on its way. TRANSLATION: There are ten water

:09:24. > :09:26.tankers here and ten We are also bringing water

:09:27. > :09:29.purification equipment and generators to ensure

:09:30. > :09:31.there is a clean water For now, though, many people in this

:09:32. > :09:35.town of 40,000 still lack access The infrastructure needs to be

:09:36. > :09:44.restored and the wreckage cleared. Deep in the Amazon basin,

:09:45. > :09:47.Mocoa was hard to reach before. Now, with roads and bridges washed

:09:48. > :09:52.away, the challenge is even greater. Eight people are being questioned

:09:53. > :10:00.by police after an attack on a 17-year-old asylum seeker

:10:01. > :10:03.at a bus stop in south London. The teenager, who's Kurdish Iranian,

:10:04. > :10:07.remains seriously ill in hospital after being subjected to what police

:10:08. > :10:09.called a "savage" attack. He was waiting for a bus on Friday

:10:10. > :10:21.night but the 17-year-old, a Kurdish Iranian, was approached

:10:22. > :10:23.by a group of eight people, At that point, the police

:10:24. > :10:30.say, the group started chasing the 17-year-old,

:10:31. > :10:32.who was with a couple of friends, away from the bus stop,

:10:33. > :10:35.down this street and around the corner, where

:10:36. > :10:37.the attack took place. He suffered several

:10:38. > :10:41.blows to the head. Normally, the Friday night,

:10:42. > :10:46.they are always making noise. Then looking out the window,

:10:47. > :10:53.the group of people Some people tried to intervene,

:10:54. > :11:01.others dialled 999. The police are treating

:11:02. > :11:03.the attack as a hate crime. The local MP, who is also

:11:04. > :11:05.the Housing Minister, I think these are cowardly,

:11:06. > :11:14.and a despicable attack, and I hope we find the people

:11:15. > :11:17.responsible and they'll face the full force

:11:18. > :11:19.of our justice system. Police patrols have been stepped up

:11:20. > :11:22.to try to reassure people this is not typical for the area,

:11:23. > :11:25.but this is a community in shock. You expect people to

:11:26. > :11:30.appreciate one another here. Because I have got my two

:11:31. > :11:37.daughters, a boy and my wife Tonight, one response to what police

:11:38. > :11:48.have condemned as a savage attack. A university student has paid

:11:49. > :11:55.tribute to her mother and younger brother who were stabbed

:11:56. > :11:57.to death in their home Lydia Wilkinson laid flowers outside

:11:58. > :12:02.the house in Stourbridge. Comforted by her boyfriend,

:12:03. > :12:05.she said her mother Tracey had 23-year-old Aaron Barley,

:12:06. > :12:09.who is known to the family, has been charged with the murders

:12:10. > :12:12.and with the attempted murder The BBC has seen evidence

:12:13. > :12:19.of so-called Islamic State appearing to use children as human shields

:12:20. > :12:21.in the battle for Mosul. It comes as the militants

:12:22. > :12:28.are all but encircled in the old centre of Iraq's second

:14:21. > :14:24.about taking back a city. It is about regaining

:14:25. > :14:28.the trust of its people. Every civilian casualty undermines

:14:29. > :14:31.that work and so, the Iraqi forces have

:14:32. > :14:36.to take their time. TRANSLATION: We have two

:14:37. > :14:41.reasons for slowing down. One is the civilians,
