The Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al Abadi has declared victory over the | :01:25. | :01:37. | |
Islamic State group in Iraq's second city most all. Here he is speaking | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
earlier. TRANSLATION: | :01:44. | :01:43. | |
Our victory today is a victory against darkness, against brutality | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
And I declare from this place, I declare to the | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
whole world the end, the failure and the collapse of the so-called | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
The terrorist state of Daesh which was declared here in | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
Our victory today was made possible by | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
the Iraqi people who sacrificed their lives to put an end to this | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
evil entity which will end up in the dustbin of history. | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
Mosul's significant not just because it's Iraq's | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
It's also where this man, the leader of IS Abu Bakr | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
al-Baghdadi declared the group's so-called caliphate three years ago. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
The campaign to retake Mosul began in October - | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
you can see how the Iraqi army gradually gained territory - | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
areas in red show IS control, and green is the Iraqi army. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
But the end of the fighting doesn't mean the end of the suffering. | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
More than 800,000 people have fled the fighting and the the UN | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
estimates it will cost at least $1 billion to restore things | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
Our correspondent Jonathan Beale has been with the Iraqi army | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
as they advanced in Mosul - he called in a few hours ago. | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
Even though Prime Minister Abadi has declared complete victory | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
against IS, it doesn't certainly seem like it on the ground. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
There is plenty of evidence today that we | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
have seen of an IS presence but it is, as I say, | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
much less intense than it has been in recent days. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
And of course Prime Minister Abadi came here | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
yesterday and his office indicated that he would declare victory. | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
He said at the end of that day that victory was just around the corner - | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
But we've seen this in the past, where the | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Iraqis tend to claim victory perhaps even when there are still pockets | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
of resistance in places like Fallujah as well. | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
So I think we should treat it with caution, but there is | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
no doubt that IS is on its last legs in Mosul, but certainly so are | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
the civilians who have to rebuild this city and rebuild their lives. | :03:53. | :04:04. | |
The BBC has also been talking to Lieutenant General Stephen J | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
Townsend. Here is his reaction from Baghdad. This is a brutal evil | :04:12. | :04:21. | |
enemy. A very determined one. One of the things I learned is this fight | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
is going to take longer than we anticipate. Also that fighting in | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
cities, I already knew this as a professional soldier, I already knew | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
how difficult it was to fight in major urban areas, but I never saw | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
fighting on this extended duration and scale. Before. We are applying | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
all those lessons to the fight that we are already engaged in, in the | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
global capital of Isis in Syria. Newsnight Presenter Rasha Qandeel, | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
for more on the story. Probably the most difficult sense | :05:00. | :05:08. | |
they started being formed in 2004 but the problem is it might not be | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
the end of the organisation or the group as it is known for now because | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
the way the group usually goes when it is surrounded, is going | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
underground and reappearing somewhere else. It will probably be | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
a third location we have not heard. The problem with this is they take | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
civilians as human shields or they disguise as civilians on the way out | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
of any city. This will be difficult and also now because it is | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
surrounded by the Iraqi forces, so that might be the announcement of | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
tonight might mean the end of the eye S in Mosul but it might not be | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
the end of the organisation in Iraq or Syria. This must make authorities | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
in Iraq and Syria very nervous. Yes. The problem with this is that has to | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
be a support by the coalition forces higher than it used to be before, | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
the problem with this is the US is using something called a bubble | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
carrier and this is different weapons, so the risk on the | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
civilians will mount up much more than it was before, especially with | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
the preparations. And the civilian toll in the battle for most was | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
huge. Yes, and even in the last week or so, what we have been told by our | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
correspondence is that when you trap a lot of people in a very small area | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
the risk is higher and higher, and what has happened in the last week | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
is one and a half kilometres up to two kilometres, square kilometres, | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
and then going back to 800 and battle from street to street until | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
we have reached the positive situation as called by the Iraqi | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
Government. That does not mean they cannot reappear somewhere else, as | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
happened last April. So the problem is there needs to be a post-battle | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
in most soul to secure other places and to secure safe passages for | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
civilians. And looking at the pictures of what state Mosul is left | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
in, it is not just the physical rebuilding it is the psychological | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
impact on the people who are left and prospects for getting back and | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
carrying on living peacefully. It is the full package. The problem is for | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
the Iraqi Government but also for the coalition is there generations | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
to come that are going to be affected by what they have seen in | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
the last since 2004 and hugely since 2014 since the Islamic State have | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
announced seizing a lot of cities, most will is one of them. This is | :07:57. | :08:08. | |
going to be having a huge impact on the psychology of those children and | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
of course on the direct death toll of civilians. | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
The Silk Road was an ancient trade route between China and Europe - | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
the world's first global superhighway. | :08:24. | :08:24. | |
China is spending almost a trillion dollars on recreating that | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
The new Silk Road would consist of a maritime route starting | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
in China which winds its way past Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
At the same time, the project also involves a land based network, | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
snaking West through central Asia and Russia. | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
Our China Editor Carrie Gracie has been looking into this - | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
They call them the ships of the Desert. For centuries the camel | :08:43. | :08:57. | |
trains of the silk Road dominated trade between China and the West. | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
Now China wants to recreate the silk Road. This time by train. When he | :09:04. | :09:19. | |
started here 34 years ago China sold the world next to nothing. Now he is | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
a foot soldier for a trading superpower. I asked how that had | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
changed him. TRANSLATION: We are under a lot of | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
pressure. Expectations are high but there is also a lot of hope. We need | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
the train to develop faster and better. The pressure is coming from | :09:42. | :09:53. | |
the top. Not led by merchants, but by a president. Chinese emperors | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
once claimed to rule all under heaven. With the United States no | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
longer leading on trade, President Xi has seized his chance. He calls | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
his vision the belt and road. China's vision is so vast it may be | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
decades before we can tell whether it is a worthy successor to the | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
ancient silk Road. But what we can say is that no other country | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
offering a big idea right now this is the most ambitious bid to shape | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
our century. Already China shapes our material lives. This market, one | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
of the biggest in the world. But selling abroad and building at home | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
is no longer enough to keep this giant economy growing. Now it plans | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
to build a broad two. A win-win for all, says China. But when the | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
talking is done Chinese traders drive a hard bargain. The world | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
buying much more from them than the other way around. Red tape can make | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
importing a nightmare. The Government can change the law at any | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
time so there is no real concrete law. It's a very grey area at the | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
moment. If the Government made it a little clearer on how to go about | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
it, it would be a bit easier. But the new silk Road is China solving | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
china's problems. Money and muscle heading west on a journey across | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
three continents. Bidding to redraw the map and command the century. | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
Most of that report came from the east coast of China - | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
but Carrie is going to be travelling the length of the new Silk road | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
Today she's in Dunhuang, in the west of China. | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
It kind of sees itself as the power that in the days of the old camel | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
routes was the dominant power in Asia, and it wants to get back to | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
That, it feels, is its natural role and, in fact, as the | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
world's biggest trader, in a way this is a dominant position | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
So it's kind of saying President Trump | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
is retreating to a certain extent from US leadership of the world | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
economy, retreating from trade pacts, retreating from a free-trade | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
And this is China saying we are going to be the champions | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
of that, we are going to be the champions of globalisation. | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
We are also the champions, of course, of climate change. | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
So they are basically saying, we are the responsible leaders. | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
And that message is questioned by others, by | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
India for example, by Japan, they see this as a push | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
I think at the moment it is very much unclear | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
exactly how effective this enormous project is going to be. | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
It is ambitious for sure, which is a hallmark of President Xi - | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
he has seized his moment, he is an assertive leader, | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
he is pushing this hard - but we haven't seen commercial | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
It is very much a state driven agenda at | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
the moment, and I think that is very much also what feeds the concern | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
of China's neighbours that it is not going to be like the ancient Silk | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
Road that of course grew organically - merchants trading | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
amongst themselves, private enterprise. | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
This is something that is very much driven by China's state objectives. | :13:16. | :13:29. | |
And outside Haque source. We'll be live in New York because tobacco | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
giant Philip Morris has been ordered to pay millions of dollars in legal | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
fees after unsuccessfully suing the Australian Government. | :13:40. | :13:52. | |
Metropolitan Police now say they believe around 255 people managed to | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
escape the fire at Grenfell Tower last month. The current estimate of | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
the dead and missing remains at around 80. Those of us involved in | :14:04. | :14:12. | |
this investigation and the wider police operation can't help but have | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
an emotional attachment to this case and we are absolutely determined, to | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
do everything we possibly can. The fire, the truly tragic fire at | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
Grenfell Tower should never have happened. It is our job as the | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
police to investigate it. We will go where the evidence takes us. We will | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
look at all available fences within the criminal law. And if we identify | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
evidence that an individual or an organisation has committed a | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
criminal offence we will do what we can to bring those people or those | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
organisations to justice. This is Outside Source live | :14:46. | :15:01. | |
from the BBC newsroom. Iraq's Prime Minister has declared | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
victory over the Islamic State group The battle for Mosul has | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
taken almost nine months, killed thousands of civilians | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
and displaced more Other stories being reported on | :15:11. | :15:20. | |
around the BBC right now, the High Court hearing the UK has ruled the | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
British Government's sale of arms to Saudi Arabia is legal after it | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
reviewed secret evidence. The court rejected claims the Government was | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
acting illegally by not suspending weapons sales to the kingdom which | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
is fighting a war in Yemen. South Korea has released what it says is | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
the first known footage of women forced to work as sex slaves for | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
Japanese soldiers during World War II. Known as comfort women, | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
activists estimate 200,000 were forced into brothels for Japan's | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
military. And among the most read stories on our website the British | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
Government has released a video giving advice to travellers on what | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
to do if your hotel is attacked by terrorists. It uses the run, highs, | :16:07. | :16:19. | |
tell safety message. This week marks the first anniversary for Theresa | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
May as per minister. On Tuesday she is expected to say we may not agree | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
on everything but through debate and discussion ideas can be clarified | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
and improved and a better way forward found. This is one take from | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
politics saying she is reaching out to labour for Brexit help after | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
election losses. Let's go to Alex Forsyth. How much of a change of | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
tone and style is this? I think it is an acknowledgement from the Prime | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
Minister about the new political reality. She called a general | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
election hoping to get more Conservative MPs in the House of | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
Commons but she ended up losing her majority. So what we're hearing now | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
is a recognition that in order to get anything done she will need to | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
rely on her own MPs but also support from other parties as well. So this | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
is something of an appeal to Labour, which the Labour Party has given | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
short shrift to. Jeremy Corbyn said today do you want to read the Labour | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
election manifesto for some policy ideas? I don't think we will see any | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
political opponents hoping to shore up Theresa May any time soon. But | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
what her allies say is this is a sensible, mature approach to | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
Government because in order to get big issues through like social care, | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
they are going to have to work together. They will hope that | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
appeals to some people on both sides of the House of Commons, but getting | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
it done in reality will not be easy. This is so different to wear Theresa | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
May thought she would be when she called the election. Undoubtedly. | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
The reason she called it was in her own words to strengthen her hand, | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
particularly going into the Brexit talks which have already started. | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
She hoped she would not have to worry about lots of fights in | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
Parliament when she was entering into tricky negotiations with the | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
EU. But in fact she has ended up in a completely different position now | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
where she will rely on every single MP's vote within her own party to | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
get things done. And we know on the huge issue of Brexit there are very | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
divided views within the Conservative Party alone, so her job | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
rather than becoming easier as a consequence of the election, has | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
become much harder. And we are expecting her to say tomorrow, those | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
words about reaching out, is a signal she recognises now she will | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
have to compromise on some issues if she wants to get the business of | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
running the country on a day-to-day basis anywhere near done. Let's play | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
you something the Australian prime ministers said today. He has been | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
visiting Theresa May in London. We recognise that as Britain moves to | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
completing its exit from the European Union we stand ready to | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
enter into a free-trade agreement with the United Kingdom as soon as | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
the UK is able to do so. So once that Brexit has been achieved, then | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
we look forward to speedily concluding a free-trade agreement | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
with Australia and as we said I think we were the first on the phone | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
to offer our support and assistance. And of course as the Australian | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
Premier Mr was saying, Mrs May can't agree any trade deals until Britain | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
has left the European Union. And today senior members of the EU | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
parliament warned Mrs May they might block any final deal. The | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
parliament's Brexit coordinator wrote a letter to newspapers | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
including the Guardian, basically saying the rights Britain is | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
offering EU nationals in the UK are not good enough. Let's go back to | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
Alex Forsyth. Firstly, what don't like they like about what's on | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
offer? What we are hearing is that they are prepared to flex their | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
muscles and they are saying this key issue of the of EU citizens | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
currently in the UK, they say it is a damp squib because it does not | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
resolve any uncertainty. They want complete rights as people have now | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
and what the UK Government has offered is is a settled status to EU | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
citizens. There are still some questions over what that means were | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
family members and who it will apply to. I think what we are seeing is | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
how contentious this Brexit process will be. We have had very positive | :20:33. | :20:40. | |
optimistic words from Australia's Prime Minister and similar from | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
President Trump when he said America wanted to get on with the trade | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
deal, but before they can get to that Theresa May and British | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
Government have a whole host of issues to pick through, not just | :20:51. | :20:52. | |
when it comes to the European Parliament and the fact they are | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
threatening to derail the process if it does not go the way they want, | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
but as we have already talked about, the British Parliament as well, they | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
have a lot of clout now and there are lots of different views on how | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
the negotiations should proceed. So we are at early stages but we are | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
just starting to see how complicated it will be. Just seeing what has | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
come out of the offer to EU nationals already, the tone of this | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
all looks far from cordial. And this was one of the issues we were told | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
from the UK Government perspective they had hoped they could reach some | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
pretty easy consensus on with the EU. This was one of the things both | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
the EU negotiators and the UK Government had said they wanted to | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
resolve quickly. They did not want it to become a hugely contentious | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
issue. On both sides there is a recognition that this | :21:41. | :21:54. | |
involves people and UK citizens in the EU, we're already cracks | :21:55. | :22:04. | |
appearing. There may still be an early resolution but when it comes | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
to the much bigger questions about the UK's financial settlement with | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
the EU, future trade relationships, that will be hard again. Thank you. | :22:13. | :22:20. | |
The tobacco giant Philip Morris has been ordered to pay millions of | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
dollars in legal fees after unsuccessfully suing the Australian | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
Government over its plain packaging law. In 2012 Australia legislated | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
that led cigarettes must be sold in unappealing packages with graphic | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
health warnings. The Court of arbitration has not so far published | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
the amount Philip Morris must pay. Let's go over to New York. What was | :22:44. | :22:51. | |
the original case about? You have a giant international tobacco company | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
arguing that essentially this law restricted its rights to use its own | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
trademarks in a way that they say it was unfair. The court dismissed the | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
claim and here we are with Philip Morris being ordered to pay the | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
Government's legal costs. The question is how much. That has not | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
been disclosed, but certainly in Australia there are reports saying | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
the figure may be as much as 38 million US dollars. I was on Philip | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
Morris's website and they say they do not support the marketing of | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
tobacco products to anyone who is not an adult, but the position of a | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
broader base ban against advertising, they are not in favour. | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
And you can do this playing out of their strategy and their approach in | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
Australia. And do we think Philip Morris will be able to appeal? I | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
think we will have to wait and see whether they want to try and push | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
this case further. They already brought it, lost, will they want to | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
walk away or double down? We will have to wait and see. But again, | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
this is a case where we have seen in the past international corporations | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
win against governments full stop that has not been the case here. | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
India now and a campaign against the goods and services tax and feminine | :24:14. | :24:23. | |
hygiene products is gathering steam. It is argued that the text should be | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
waived. Access to hygiene: product is a problem. And cost is a big | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
issue too. As a result, tens of thousands of girls drop out of | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
school every year when they start the periods. Now in a seemingly | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
women friendly move the Government has made bangles bendy 's and other | :24:45. | :24:55. | |
things tax-free. But many believe these are considered essential | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
products for women then so should sanitary pads. But they are being | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
taxed at 12% instead, a decision the Government defence. If we reduce the | :25:04. | :25:11. | |
tax on sanitary pads it shouldn't be the multinational companies don't | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
pass it on to customers and instead make profits. These big companies | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
have huge profit margins and so to make sanitary pads more affordable | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
this should take a step forward. The Government says cheaper sanitary | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
pads made by small co-operatives will not be taxed. For campaigners, | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
it is not about who makes the products but that the state treats | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
them as a luxury rather than a necessity. Stay with us on outside | :25:39. | :25:52. | |
source. We will have the latest on Donald Trump's Sun admitting he met | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
a Russian lawyer who promised him damaging information about Hillary | :25:59. | :25:58. | |
Clinton. If you are heading to southern | :25:59. | :26:12. | |
Europe and the Mediterranean the heat is | :26:13. | :26:13. |
