From here in the world's newsroom we sent out correspondents to bring

Babe Ruth really is immortal in many ways.

This week saw the long-awaited publication of the Chilcot report,

the UK inquiry into the Iraq war which heavily criticised the British

government for helping the United States to invade before

all peaceful options had been exhausted.

Since the British and Americans withdrew, Iraq has been gripped

by sectarian violence which has allowed so-called

Suicide car bombings in Baghdad this week killed 165 people, one

The violence followed the Iraqi army success in driving Islamic State out

of the city of Falluja, from where Jeremy Bowen sent this

assessment of the state of Iraq today.

Losing this town so hurt the jihadists of Islamic State

that they lashed out by massacring civilians in Baghdad.

Iraq's perpetual war was caused by a chain of consequences that

Iraq's invaders, the US and Britain, removed a hated dictator

and dissolved his army and state, but then made no real plan

to rebuild the country they had broken.

They improvised and made matters worse.

IS fighters still lie where they died in Falluja streets.

Jihadists were not in Iraq before the invasion and Shia

and Sunni Muslims, whose sectarian civil war started

during the occupation, could coexist.

They bomb because there are a lot of Isis members here.

In this 13th year of war, elite units of the Iraqi army took

the lead in Falluja, helped by American air strikes.

The bodies of more than a dozen jihadists lay rotting in the rubble.

So-called Islamic State grew out of Al-Qaeda which took root in Iraq

in the chaos that followed the invasion.

Before they were killed, IS, also known as Daesh, had rigged

Yes, he just pulled it and then it blows up

So this was intended for a suicide mission.

After defeat in Falluja, IS put a much bigger one into Baghdad.

In a suburban house IS set up a prison.

This isn't the only private jail in Iran.

In a fractured country, arbitary imprisonment

IS chain prisoners in cages the size of the kennels.

To get power and keep it, politicians and warlords in Iraq

The jihadists of Islamic State would not have been able to take

such a grip on Iraq without the sectarian conflict

Now the argument between Shias and Sunnis goes back 1,400 years,

but the invasion in 2003 had the effect of redefining

and supercharging it for the 21st century.

Around 45,000 Sunnis are in a camp outside Falluja.

All displaced by the fighting and seen as potential

IS sympathisers by Shia led security forces.

They get the basics for survival, but most aren't

Iraqis have often made matters worse for themselves, but mistakes made

by the United States and Britain pushed Iraq down the

Now, if you are into baseball, long before Le Bron,

The slugger was America's first superstar athlete and a new

exhibition at Washington's National Portrait Gallery features artefacts

and photos from his extraordinary life.

Is it really possible to say anything new about Babe Ruth?

Almost 70 years after his death, he is

still the world's most famous and best loved baseball player.

But this tiny exhibition at the National Portrait

Gallery offers a more intimate look at the legend.

This family snap shows Babe Ruth with his wife and a toddler

In fact, the child was Babe Ruth's daughter with another woman.

He had a private life and what a private life he had.

It was scandalous, but he knew that things

So individuals had a sense of privacy

Babe Ruth was an American original, an icon to

He spent time with children in particular and

despite his fame, remained open and accessible to all his fans.

This is one of the first photographs Babe

Ruth signed after transferring to the New York Yankees.

Like all his autographs, it is painstakingly

written with his right hand, even though he was left-handed.

And long after his death, his image endures.

This cover for Time magazine was published in 1976 to celebrate

Babe Ruth will always be Babe Ruth through the ages and even though

he's home-run record has been broken by Hank Aaron, that mark of 714

It will be noted the next player to reach 714, it

And there are very few people who will ever reach that.

So Babe Ruth really is immortal in many ways

And indeed the most moving photo in the exhibition is one of the last

Babe Ruth, his face ravaged by cancer, with his back to

the camera, but still the unmistakable star.

And that is all from Reporters this week.

From me, Christian Fraser, goodbye for now.
