:00:00. > :00:21.From here in the world's newsroom we sent out correspondents to bring

:00:22. > :00:23.you the best stories from across the globe.

:00:24. > :00:32.And it blew up all the vehicles with him.

:01:13. > :01:20.are providing much-needed sanitation and helping the environment.

:01:21. > :01:25.# Take me out to the ball game...# And the legend of Babe Ruth.

:01:26. > :01:33.Jane O'Brien reveals the private side of America's superstar athlete.

:01:34. > :01:35.Babe Ruth really is immortal in many ways.

:01:36. > :01:44.This week saw the long-awaited publication of the Chilcot report,

:01:45. > :01:48.the UK inquiry into the Iraq war which heavily criticised the British

:01:49. > :01:50.government for helping the United States to invade before

:01:51. > :01:54.all peaceful options had been exhausted.

:01:55. > :01:57.Since the British and Americans withdrew, Iraq has been gripped

:01:58. > :01:59.by sectarian violence which has allowed so-called

:02:00. > :02:07.Suicide car bombings in Baghdad this week killed 165 people, one

:02:08. > :02:14.The violence followed the Iraqi army success in driving Islamic State out

:02:15. > :02:17.of the city of Falluja, from where Jeremy Bowen sent this

:02:18. > :02:22.assessment of the state of Iraq today.

:02:23. > :02:26.Losing this town so hurt the jihadists of Islamic State

:02:27. > :02:34.that they lashed out by massacring civilians in Baghdad.

:02:35. > :02:37.Iraq's perpetual war was caused by a chain of consequences that

:02:38. > :02:45.Iraq's invaders, the US and Britain, removed a hated dictator

:02:46. > :02:49.and dissolved his army and state, but then made no real plan

:02:50. > :02:52.to rebuild the country they had broken.

:02:53. > :02:57.They improvised and made matters worse.

:02:58. > :03:01.IS fighters still lie where they died in Falluja streets.

:03:02. > :03:05.Jihadists were not in Iraq before the invasion and Shia

:03:06. > :03:08.and Sunni Muslims, whose sectarian civil war started

:03:09. > :03:13.during the occupation, could coexist.

:03:14. > :03:16.They bomb because there are a lot of Isis members here.

:03:17. > :03:19.In this 13th year of war, elite units of the Iraqi army took

:03:20. > :03:22.the lead in Falluja, helped by American air strikes.

:03:23. > :03:31.The bodies of more than a dozen jihadists lay rotting in the rubble.

:03:32. > :03:40.So-called Islamic State grew out of Al-Qaeda which took root in Iraq

:03:41. > :03:43.in the chaos that followed the invasion.

:03:44. > :03:46.Before they were killed, IS, also known as Daesh, had rigged

:03:47. > :03:57.Yes, he just pulled it and then it blows up

:03:58. > :04:03.So this was intended for a suicide mission.

:04:04. > :04:20.After defeat in Falluja, IS put a much bigger one into Baghdad.

:04:21. > :04:22.In a suburban house IS set up a prison.

:04:23. > :04:25.This isn't the only private jail in Iran.

:04:26. > :04:27.In a fractured country, arbitary imprisonment

:04:28. > :04:38.IS chain prisoners in cages the size of the kennels.

:04:39. > :04:41.To get power and keep it, politicians and warlords in Iraq

:04:42. > :04:48.The jihadists of Islamic State would not have been able to take

:04:49. > :04:54.such a grip on Iraq without the sectarian conflict

:04:55. > :05:01.Now the argument between Shias and Sunnis goes back 1,400 years,

:05:02. > :05:07.but the invasion in 2003 had the effect of redefining

:05:08. > :05:13.and supercharging it for the 21st century.

:05:14. > :05:17.Around 45,000 Sunnis are in a camp outside Falluja.

:05:18. > :05:19.All displaced by the fighting and seen as potential

:05:20. > :05:28.IS sympathisers by Shia led security forces.

:05:29. > :05:30.They get the basics for survival, but most aren't

:05:31. > :05:40.Unicef says one in five Iraqi children, 3.6 million,

:05:41. > :05:46.are at serious risk because of the war.

:05:47. > :05:53.A bullet hit this girl as they escaped Falluja.

:05:54. > :05:57.Witnesses at the camp said hundreds of men were taken away as they left

:05:58. > :06:01.the town and beaten by Shia militias looking for IS fighters.

:06:02. > :06:08.This four-year-old girl is hoping her father will arrive

:06:09. > :06:15.The men who were beaten are all too frightened to be identified.

:06:16. > :06:18.One of them said he saw Shia militiamen beat the little

:06:19. > :06:24.TRANSLATION: One said, the Shia have come for you.

:06:25. > :06:27.We will take for Sunnis for every man we have lost.

:06:28. > :06:48.Police try to control food queues by firing into the air.

:06:49. > :06:52.Iraqis have often made matters worse for themselves, but mistakes made

:06:53. > :06:55.by the United States and Britain pushed Iraq down the

:06:56. > :07:04.Jeremy Bowen, BBC News, Falluja.

:07:05. > :07:07.It is the biggest planet in our solar system and the oldest

:07:08. > :07:10.and yet we still know surprisingly little about Jupiter

:07:11. > :07:16.But now after a five-year journey the Nasa probe Juno has finally

:07:17. > :07:21.It hopes to hopes to uncover answers to some of Jupiter's mysteries,

:07:22. > :07:24.including the influence it had on the formation of planet Earth

:07:25. > :07:32.Rebecca Morrelle was at mission control in California.

:07:33. > :07:36.A tense wait at mission control to learn the fate of Nasa's

:07:37. > :07:50.After a decade's worth of work and a 2.8 billion kilometre

:07:51. > :07:54.journey through space, Juno is the closest we have ever

:07:55. > :08:00.So we prepared a contingency communications procedure,

:08:01. > :08:12.Over the next 20 months Juno will complete 37 orbits.

:08:13. > :08:15.Skirting just over the top of Jupiter's thick atmosphere,

:08:16. > :08:20.it will give us our best ever views of the giant red spot.

:08:21. > :08:23.The colossal storm that has raged for hundreds of years,

:08:24. > :08:27.and for the first time peer through the clouds to finally reveal

:08:28. > :08:33.Its raft of scientific instruments could even shed light on the origins

:08:34. > :08:39.Born from a cloud of gas and dust, Jupiter has

:08:40. > :08:50.Jupiter is so massive that 1000 Earths could sit inside it and as it

:08:51. > :08:53.spins every ten hours, it takes everything with it.

:08:54. > :09:01.Huge storms on its surface and Juno is going to unlock its secrets.

:09:02. > :09:09.Jupiter's intense magnetic field generates bands of deadly radiation.

:09:10. > :09:12.As the spacecraft flies through them it will experience the equivalent

:09:13. > :09:21.Jupiter's just lit up with a spectacular aurora.

:09:22. > :09:25.Next monthly data begins to pull back, finally eliminating

:09:26. > :09:41.It was a bit of a roller-coaster week for Hillary Clinton.

:09:42. > :09:44.First she nearly faced criminal charges after the FBI found she had

:09:45. > :09:46.used a private e-mail account to receive secret government

:09:47. > :09:48.material whilst she was Secretary of State, but then she received

:09:49. > :09:50.an enthusiastic endorsement from President Obama

:09:51. > :09:53.as he made his first appearance with her during the campaign

:09:54. > :09:57.He said they had never been any man or woman more

:09:58. > :10:01.Nick Bryant sent this report from North Carolina.

:10:02. > :10:03.Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on an airborne mission

:10:04. > :10:07.to prevent Donald Trump from ever boarding this plane.

:10:08. > :10:10.The president is using the form might of his office to help her

:10:11. > :10:12.become his successor, but it was another branch

:10:13. > :10:15.of the federal government, the FBI, that has threatened

:10:16. > :10:20.So today's statement from the FBI director was one of the most eagerly

:10:21. > :10:23.awaited in years and made all the modern dramatic

:10:24. > :10:26.because so much of it sounded like the prosecution's opening

:10:27. > :10:32.Hillary Clinton and her staff had been extremely careless

:10:33. > :10:35.he said in the handling of very sensitive information.

:10:36. > :10:39.The FBI discovered more than 100 classified e-mails on the servers,

:10:40. > :10:41.something she had always claimed was not the case.

:10:42. > :10:44.But on the central question of whether she should face criminal

:10:45. > :10:51.Although there is evidence of potential violations

:10:52. > :10:52.of the statutes regarding the handling of classified

:10:53. > :10:56.information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor

:10:57. > :11:03.As they journeyed to their first joint campaign appearance,

:11:04. > :11:06.an event that was already in the diary, the White House

:11:07. > :11:08.said they didn't discuss the investigation and no

:11:09. > :11:14.Instead she turned her fire on to Donald Trump.

:11:15. > :11:20.Can you imagine him sitting in the Oval Office the next time

:11:21. > :11:29.The world hangs on every word our president says,

:11:30. > :11:34.and Donald Trump is simply unqualified and temperamentally

:11:35. > :11:40.unfit to be our president and commander-in-chief.

:11:41. > :11:45.Then from her former boss the most glowing of job references.

:11:46. > :11:51.There has never been any man or woman more qualified

:11:52. > :11:58.for this office than Hillary Clinton.

:11:59. > :12:02.President Obama has basically become Hillary Clinton's

:12:03. > :12:05.character witness in chief, but doubts remain about her

:12:06. > :12:12.Within minutes Donald Trump had taken to Twitter,

:12:13. > :12:27.expressing disbelief at the FBI's commend Asian.

:12:28. > :12:29.The legal cloud that has been hanging over her campaign

:12:30. > :12:31.may have been lifted, but this e-mail storm

:12:32. > :12:37.Nick Bryant, BBC News, North Carolina.

:12:38. > :12:40.Britain's vote to leave the EU, or Brexit as it is known,

:12:41. > :12:43.has sparked concern across Europe, particularly in places like Greece

:12:44. > :12:48.which had its own Grexit fears last year and is also a haven

:12:49. > :12:54.A senior tourism official in Greece has told the BBC that 200,000 fewer

:12:55. > :12:57.British tourists may travel there next year

:12:58. > :13:01.As Richard Galpin reports, it will only add to concerns

:13:02. > :13:09.A thriving family business in the Peloponnese.

:13:10. > :13:14.This factory processing thousands of tons of currants every year,

:13:15. > :13:18.all to be packed up and exported to Britain.

:13:19. > :13:21.But now these currants are more expensive for British buyers

:13:22. > :13:24.because the pound has fallen against the euro

:13:25. > :13:31.It's also possible tariffs will be imposed on exports to Britain

:13:32. > :13:34.because leaving the European Union could mean Britain

:13:35. > :13:42.For what is an expanding company, tariffs would be disastrous,

:13:43. > :13:51.This would probably kill the currant trade, not only for us,

:13:52. > :13:55.but for all Greek exports of currants, which has been

:13:56. > :14:01.a traditional product and therefore we will try our best to avoid that.

:14:02. > :14:06.But if it happens, then we must find other markets, which is not easy.

:14:07. > :14:10.But at least the Papa Demetriou brand has diversified with other

:14:11. > :14:15.popular food products being sold around the world.

:14:16. > :14:17.While these are clearly uncertain times

:14:18. > :14:20.for export companies like this one, there is a very big sector

:14:21. > :14:22.of the Greek economy which is already feeling

:14:23. > :14:28.vulnerable and that is the all-important tourism industry.

:14:29. > :14:34.Tourism brings in around 15 billion euros a year here and Greece

:14:35. > :14:38.is an extremely popular destination for British holiday-makers.

:14:39. > :14:41.But now their holidays cost more because the pound has weakened

:14:42. > :14:50.The bad scenario of an exchange rate of about 1.20 of the pound

:14:51. > :14:57.to the euro means we are going to lose 200,000 visitors next year

:14:58. > :15:04.I think this is the most possible scenario, but again,

:15:05. > :15:07.still very early to talk about numbers because we could get

:15:08. > :15:15.much worse scenarios or even better ones.

:15:16. > :15:18.The last thing Greece needs now is for tourism or any other industry

:15:19. > :15:20.to shrink as it struggles to cope with the continuing

:15:21. > :15:25.And while the full impact of Brexit on this country is not yet known,

:15:26. > :15:34.Two years since the British government banned khat,

:15:35. > :15:36.and African plant used as a stimulant mainly

:15:37. > :15:39.by the Somali community, the BBC has seen evidence

:15:40. > :15:43.it is still being sold on the streets of London.

:15:44. > :15:45.It is understood the substance is now being smuggled

:15:46. > :15:48.and sold for three or four times its previous value.

:15:49. > :15:51.Britain was the last country in Europe to ban it.

:15:52. > :15:53.Salim Kikeke has been to investigate illegal

:15:54. > :16:00.Bags of dried khat sold in a London shop.

:16:01. > :16:11.A user will need at least three of these bags to get a fix.

:16:12. > :16:14.This dried khat I am told is from Ethiopia and the reason it

:16:15. > :16:18.has been dried is to transport it more easily.

:16:19. > :16:21.Abdi used to sell khat before the ban.

:16:22. > :16:27.He claims it is easy to smuggle it in the UK.

:16:28. > :16:30.For his own safety he did not want to be identified.

:16:31. > :16:33.It comes through the post and it comes to the airport

:16:34. > :16:37.A lot of people are involved in this business.

:16:38. > :16:44.When it was legal, close to 3,000 tonnes of khat was brought

:16:45. > :16:50.into the UK every year and that's according to the British Advisory

:16:51. > :16:59.People found with khat for personal use could be fined up to ?60.

:17:00. > :17:07.Supplying khat, however, carries up to a 14 year jail sentence.

:17:08. > :17:11.The amount of khat smuggled into the UK at the moment is not

:17:12. > :17:14.known, but some of the users have started a petition asking

:17:15. > :17:18.the government to change its mind on the ban, although it has not

:17:19. > :17:25.This cafe in East London used to be a popular point for chewing khat.

:17:26. > :17:31.Now most people who used to chew, meet here to smoke shisha.

:17:32. > :17:35.When khat was here, I was quite bad on it.

:17:36. > :17:39.Since I stopped it, I am much better.

:17:40. > :17:45.It is expensive right now compared to before.

:17:46. > :17:51.Before they used to get cheap money, they used to spend about ?30,

:17:52. > :17:58.But now it is 100, 150 if they get it.

:17:59. > :18:08.And some argue that it is the high prices for khat and with customers

:18:09. > :18:11.who are willing to pay it is motivation enough

:18:12. > :18:16.for smugglers to keep the Ibeagha trade going.

:18:17. > :18:22.Salim Kikeke BBC News, London.

:18:23. > :18:25.More than a third of the global population lacks

:18:26. > :18:28.In Kenya a new social project is trying not only to

:18:29. > :18:38.produce access to sanitation, but also to the environment

:18:39. > :18:40.and as our correspondent has been finding out,

:18:41. > :18:42.it is doing it all with toilets using sawdust instead of water.

:18:43. > :18:44.After heavy rains it's almost impossible

:18:45. > :18:48.to navigate the roads here in this informal settlement in Nairobi.

:18:49. > :18:51.The rain also fills up the open sewers,

:18:52. > :18:54.hinting at a much more serious problem.

:18:55. > :18:58.In places like this proper sanitation is a major issue.

:18:59. > :19:03.In fact, it's a life-threatening one.

:19:04. > :19:06.But could a solution to this challenge be found in a challenge

:19:07. > :19:08.Well this community is certainly hoping so.

:19:09. > :19:11.By linking a shortage in proper sanitation facilities to a shortage

:19:12. > :19:14.in local fertiliser, one company is hoping that they can

:19:15. > :19:23.This man operates one of the toilets as part

:19:24. > :19:29.of a fresh approach to an old problem.

:19:30. > :19:32.He charges less than one US cent per use.

:19:33. > :19:37.There used to be a lot of waste along the fence.

:19:38. > :20:01.That is certain pads for ladies, diapers for babies.

:20:02. > :20:08.The girls have been using the toilets now.

:20:09. > :20:11.Tissue is provided, as well as soap and water to wash your hands.

:20:12. > :20:14.No need for water to flush with though, just add sawdust.

:20:15. > :20:15.This doesn't just circumvent the lack of

:20:16. > :20:18.piped water, it's also important for the next step,

:20:19. > :20:22.Nairobi is housing about 4 million people and 1 million of those people

:20:23. > :20:27.These people produce over 10,000 tonnes of waste every day.

:20:28. > :20:30.Only some of it is formally treated, meaning so much of

:20:31. > :20:31.this waste is going into the environment.

:20:32. > :20:34.Waste from these toilets is brought to this treatment

:20:35. > :20:39.Here it is composted to remove harmful bacteria then matured into

:20:40. > :20:44.But getting people used to the idea of products from human

:20:45. > :20:49.waste is taking some deliberate effort.

:20:50. > :20:52.So we have a system where we harvest the crop from our trial farm

:20:53. > :20:55.and distribute them to farmers elsewhere and even to our staff,

:20:56. > :20:59.just to encourage the thought that crops that use fertiliser that is

:21:00. > :21:05.human derived, human waste derived, is safe to use.

:21:06. > :21:07.Fertiliser isn't the only by-product.

:21:08. > :21:15.Some of it is fed to the larvae of these black soldier flies.

:21:16. > :21:18.They removed the pathogens and turn the waste into proteins,

:21:19. > :21:21.producing a nutritious feed for animals.

:21:22. > :21:29.The reusing of waste is a boon to the environment and the toilets

:21:30. > :21:32.where the process begins address a real need in a place where eight

:21:33. > :21:34.out of ten people don't have one in their homes.

:21:35. > :21:36.This is a model that can provide relief in

:21:37. > :21:44.more ways than one, if communities choose to embrace it.

:21:45. > :21:46.Now, if you are into baseball, long before Le Bron,

:21:47. > :21:52.The slugger was America's first superstar athlete and a new

:21:53. > :21:55.exhibition at Washington's National Portrait Gallery features artefacts

:21:56. > :22:03.and photos from his extraordinary life.

:22:04. > :22:11.Is it really possible to say anything new about Babe Ruth?

:22:12. > :22:13.Almost 70 years after his death, he is

:22:14. > :22:18.still the world's most famous and best loved baseball player.

:22:19. > :22:20.But this tiny exhibition at the National Portrait

:22:21. > :22:24.Gallery offers a more intimate look at the legend.

:22:25. > :22:30.This family snap shows Babe Ruth with his wife and a toddler

:22:31. > :22:39.In fact, the child was Babe Ruth's daughter with another woman.

:22:40. > :22:43.He had a private life and what a private life he had.

:22:44. > :22:50.It was scandalous, but he knew that things would not be published.

:22:51. > :22:54.So individuals had a sense of privacy that is gone today.

:22:55. > :23:01.Babe Ruth was an American original, an icon to

:23:02. > :23:06.He spent time with children in particular and

:23:07. > :23:12.despite his fame, remained open and accessible to all his fans.

:23:13. > :23:15.This is one of the first photographs Babe Ruth signed after transferring

:23:16. > :23:19.Like all his autographs, it is painstakingly written

:23:20. > :23:24.with his right hand, even though he was left-handed.

:23:25. > :23:27.And long after his death, his image endures.

:23:28. > :23:30.This cover for Time magazine was published in 1976 to celebrate

:23:31. > :23:41.Babe Ruth will always be Babe Ruth through the ages and even though

:23:42. > :23:46.his home-run record has been broken by Hank Aaron, that mark of 714

:23:47. > :23:52.It will be noted the next player to reach 714, it

:23:53. > :23:58.And there are very few people who will ever reach that.

:23:59. > :24:02.So Babe Ruth really is immortal in many ways
