SHOUTING CHEERING

COMMENTATOR: There goes another one! STUDIO: And Moeen Ali takes six

wickets as England beat South Africa The Iraqi government said today

that the city of Mosul has been liberated from so-called

Islamic State, three years after it was first

occupied by the extremists. The second largest city in Iraq

was where IS declared Since then, its grip on territory

has been gradually reduced it's been targeted in

Mosul by the Iraqi army backed by US and

coalition air strikes. And has lost ground,

street-by-street. Tonight, the Defence Secretary Sir

Michael Fallon congratulated the Iraqis and highlighted the role

played by the RAF. But as our Defence Correspondent

Jonathan Beale has seen in Mosul, victory has come at a cost,

with an estimated 800,000 VOICEOVER: What was once a beautiful

old city is now mostly rubble. Every building deeply scarred

or destroyed by months of war. We joined the search and rescue

teams looking for survivors. But more often, they are

just recovering bodies. With the heat, there is also

the strong smell of decay. that his brother and his

family are still alive. Their house was hit in an air strike

just a few weeks ago. It was being used by

Islamic State fighters. Ali says that he spoke

to his brother on this phone while he was trapped somewhere

under the rubble. All they find here

is decaying corpses. It's a similar story

everywhere they go. the Iraqi Prime Minister

was en route to Mosul, to declare the liberation

of the city. and surrounded by troops who spent

the last nine months trying to wrestle the city from IS

control, in the toughest of battles. Even this morning there

was the sound of gunfire, the children so used to it,

they don't even flinch. Families are making their way

through any way they can to safety. This territory up there is still

under Islamic State control, a small parcel of land.

As you can see, they are pretty desperate.

It's hard to celebrate freedom from IS when you have just been

These family say they have little food or water.

They have left behind loved ones under rubble.

Many will carry the scars of this battle for the rest of their lives.

These children have been prisoners of IS for much of their short lives.

Iraq's Prime Minister has declared their city liberated.

But for these families, it has come at a huge price.

STUDIO: Well, our Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen is here.

What does this moment mean for Mosul and for Iraq? Well, it is cause to

celebrate, Islamic State's grip has been prised off Iraq and across the

board in Syria as well. But this does not mean peace, it does not

mean the end of their ideology, either, these jihadists groups are

very good at regenerating themselves. The problem is, Iraq and

Syria and other countries in the region have been incubators for that

kind of ideology and some of the forces, poor governance, poverty,

Shia-Sunni hatred, sectarian hatred, inter-Muslim hatred, all of that has

fed in, and those factors are still there. As for Iraq itself, all kinds

of risks of renewed civil war. The problem is, the country has been

coming apart at the seams, the Kurdish, in the North, are having an

independence referendum in September. If Iraq continues to

fracture like that, then it will be accompanied by a great deal of

violence. The parents of Charlie Gard,

the 11-month old who has a terminal genetic disorder,

handed a petition to Great Ormond Street hospital today

asking for him to be allowed to travel to the United States

for experimental drug treatment. The High Court will consider

the case again tomorrow You are urged ordinarily. VOICEOVER:

His parents say that they will accept help and support from

wherever it comes. We continue to pray for their precious, beautiful

son. Who has captured the imagination of the world.

11-month-old Charlie is severely disabled and brain damage, his

future has been the subject of a long legal battle, doctors at Great

Ormond Street Hospital said that no treatment will improve the quality

of his life and they should be allowed to switch off life-support

systems, a view supported by a High Court ruling. Today, is parents

delivered a petition signed by 350,000 people to the hospital,

after they say new medical information suggests there are some

might be able to benefit from experimental treatment overseas.

There is just a lot of people who think what has happened here is

wrong. You know, parents know their children best. People making

decisions about him have spent very little time with him. We are there

24 hours a day. If he was suffering and in pain, we could not sit there.

Legally handing in the petition does not change anything but the

supporters and the parents are emboldened by new medical

information coming from Italy and the United States. Great Ormond

Street Hospital is not issued a statement today, doctors stand by

the original ruling. The crux of the matter is, you should have a say

over the future of Charlie, says the American pastor now supporting the

family. He denies turning this into a religious argument. Should the

courts and government officials be involved in what should be a parent

's decision? They are the ones interfering, they are the ones

usurping rights. Great Ormond Street says its doctors have explored every

possible treatment, the hospital has requested another High Court hearing

tomorrow, with those of what it describes as the new claims from

overseas. STUDIO: The new Justice Secretary

Prison late last year. Orders from inmates for drugs

hooks to recover them. New figures from the Ministry

of Justice show the industrial scale Two hundred and twenty

it is easier to get drugs and phones than it was for me to get funded

to do education. People are stuck in a cell,

23 hours a day, they want escape. Look, people in society go

to the pub for escape, you've got drug addicts in society,

fuel violence inside and phones help arrange crimes back

on violence and staffing that At the same time, front line prison

officers have fallen, to just over 18,000,

that is down almost 6500. What I'm determined to do is to try

to bring about improvements, build on what my predecessor,

Liz Truss, did in putting in place

effective measures to detect more accurately

the problem we have with drugs, the new challenge we have with

drones and mobile phones in prison, But drones remain

the biggest challenge. Walls around the prison won't stop

to intelligence to stop the drones. Experts say there are plenty of them

after the commotion and turbulence of the last couple of months, the

voluntarily called general election in which she slipped backwards, is

that she would like to project getting on with the job and fighting

back. There is a real awareness that after the turbulence, the headlines

that continue to emerge, gossip among Conservative MPs, which one

cabinet minister today had to dismiss as a result of Conservatives

difficult to expect them to get well and engage in therapy and start

to try and heal when something as fundamental as permanent housing

is still up in the air. NHS England has promised to give GPs

the backing they need, though there is no offer

of new funding. Will more money and resources be

sculptures by artists like Damian Hirst and Sarah Lucas

may be world famous, but the people who actually make

them are less well known. Now, a new exhibition in Chester's

ancient cathedral brings together 90 art works,

many created by a single foundry. Our Arts Editor Will Gompertz has

been finding out more. VOICEOVER: The Medieval magnificence

of Chester Cathedral. Where, for the rest of the summer,

Gothic splendour will rub shoulders The artists on show are well-known:

Damien Hirst, Lynn Chadwick, But they did not make the works,

they were fabricated here, deep in rural Gloucestershire

at what is quite possibly the largest art-specific

foundry in the world. This is a sand mould,

that is another way It was set up by Rungwe Kingdon

and his wife in the mid-1980s, and now employs nearly 200 craftsmen

and women, producing sculptures sometimes with nothing more to go

on than a sketched drawing The old-fashioned way

of an artist making an object, bringing it to a foundry,

and there's a service you get it, you make

a mould and you cast it into bronze, that's actually probably a smaller

part of what we do now. It's much more about artists trying

to make an image with a foundry. Do you ever get to a situation

where you think, "For goodness' sake,

I should be signing this work?" You need artists, you

need their language, you need their image,

you need their ideas, they are the people who literally

create our culture, and we are the people who help them

make that material reality. The cathedral is the most

amazing connection to To be able to put the craftsmanship

and the art of this age, to be compared and react to the art

and craft of the medieval age, The analogy is that

Pangolin is the orchestra, Without the orchestra,

the music simply stays on the page. Chester Cathedral was built

by craftsmen nearly 1000 years ago. Pangolin say their sculptures

are made to last just as long. These are the artefacts of our age

for future generations to ponder. England's cricketers have won

the first Test against South Africa by 211 runs in an emphatic

display at Lords. They were in control throughout,

despite a batting collapse VOICEOVER: for England,

it was a day which ended so perfectly and yet began

so poorly for England. A batting collapse straight

from the bad old days, Liam Dawson's the most spectacular,

no-one saw that coming. Once again a key man slipped

through South Africa's fingers, Jonny Bairstow with

an early reprieve. He went on to frustrate them

with a half century. South Africa's target 331,

and Bairstow was back to haunt them. This time brilliance behind

the stumps, and from there There was no doubting

the star of the show. Moeen Ali, his six wickets sent

South Africa spinning. Indeed it was all over in barely the

blink of an eye, the 19th wicket of an astonishing day. For Joe Root, in

his first game in charge, one to remember. And so a dramatic and

emphatic victory for England, there are new era and a new captain is off
