:01:26. > :01:49.and welcome to the BBC News at One. The prime minister

:01:50. > :01:51.of Iraq has condemned the Sunni Muslim extremists advancing

:01:52. > :01:54.towards Baghdad and appealed to Nouri al-Maliki said they were

:01:55. > :02:00.trying to destroy Iraq, This morning it appeared

:02:01. > :02:04.the extremists had seized much of Iraq's biggest oil refinery to

:02:05. > :02:08.the north of the capital, but the Meanwhile, neighbouring Iran has

:02:09. > :02:19.promised to defend the holy shrines of Shia Islam in Iraq from those it

:02:20. > :02:22.calls "killers and terrorists." We'll be reporting live this

:02:23. > :02:25.lunchtime from Irbil in the north But first let's cross to Baghdad

:02:26. > :02:44.and our correspondent there, I was out on the streets of Baghdad

:02:45. > :02:48.today with Iraqi special forces. A choreographed opportunity by the

:02:49. > :02:54.Iraqi government to show they are in charge. But just odometers north of

:02:55. > :02:59.year there has been fierce fighting. The largest oil refinery in the

:03:00. > :03:03.country is there and we have reports that 75 cent of that refinery is in

:03:04. > :03:16.the control of Isis and Shia militants. Emily Buchanan has the

:03:17. > :03:24.latest details. Long live Isis, they cry. This

:03:25. > :03:46.footage shows triumphant militants driving Iraqi army vehicles. The

:03:47. > :03:51.facility is still under siege. In an address to the nation the Iraqi

:03:52. > :03:55.Prime Minister pointed a finger at disaffected Sunni Muslims, leading

:03:56. > :04:04.to them to distance themselves from the extremist. Not every setback is

:04:05. > :04:09.a defeat. This has allowed Iraq to recover national unity. Only the

:04:10. > :04:16.terrorists will benefit and those who trade in arms. Those who start

:04:17. > :04:23.the Fire are burnt by fire. Day after day excited she volunteers in

:04:24. > :04:28.bag dad are flocking to boost the Army 's manpower -- Baghdad. They

:04:29. > :04:33.want to protect the capital from the threat from Isis. This officer said

:04:34. > :04:37.their training course was finished and they would soon be on the front

:04:38. > :04:42.line the new recruits are responding to calls from around. Their

:04:43. > :04:47.president Rouhani told a packed stadium his nation would spare no

:04:48. > :04:55.effort to help detect holy sites inside Iraq. These terrorist groups

:04:56. > :05:02.and those who support them are nothing in the face of the great

:05:03. > :05:09.Iraqi nations's willpower. And God willing they will be defeated. So as

:05:10. > :05:14.the country braces itself for more ferocious battles, bomb attacks

:05:15. > :05:19.inside Baghdad continue. This blast within the market in the Shia

:05:20. > :05:35.district. For all the appeal for unity, many feared the looming

:05:36. > :05:40.spectre of sectarian civil war. Well the violence is having a huge

:05:41. > :05:46.impact on families in Iraq. Many are fleeing their homes for safety. Our

:05:47. > :05:57.correspondent has been to one refugee camp in the Kurdish region.

:05:58. > :06:02.As the fighting spreads, people have arrived from further away and we

:06:03. > :06:06.here the same story over and over again. The militant takeover of

:06:07. > :06:28.their areas followed by air strikes and the flight of civilians.

:06:29. > :06:32.This woman is saying she has been here for three days and has not

:06:33. > :06:44.received any aid. She wants to go home. She says she fears nothing

:06:45. > :06:48.from the militants. Muscle is in much better shape after the

:06:49. > :06:54.militants took over, she says. Prices of petrol and tomatoes,

:06:55. > :07:01.everything has become cheaper after the militants came. Their only

:07:02. > :07:14.afraid of shelling and air strikes by the Iraqi army. -- they are.

:07:15. > :07:18.We fled the bombing. They showed a hospital and houses, people

:07:19. > :07:27.scattered all over. They went everywhere, not just here. No one

:07:28. > :07:43.stayed. Well we should be able to join or correspondent now in Irbil.

:07:44. > :07:49.What is the situation where you are. Well they are trying to avoid a

:07:50. > :07:55.clash with Isis in a big way. There has been friction along the border.

:07:56. > :08:02.Iraqi Kurdistan, its border with Iraq as it where, is about 1050

:08:03. > :08:10.kilometres long. 1000 of those chronometers is now a border with

:08:11. > :08:13.Isis, with the rebels. So this is a huge challenge to the Kurdish area.

:08:14. > :08:18.Of course they have expanded outwards from the original Iraqi

:08:19. > :08:26.Kurdistan and taken over Crawcrook with its oil riches. It could end up

:08:27. > :08:30.being controversial. But in the meantime they are avoiding head-on

:08:31. > :08:35.collision with Isis. They're not teaming up with the Iraqi army. They

:08:36. > :08:40.are under pressure from Iran. The Prime Minister here went to Iran on

:08:41. > :08:51.Monday and the belief he was urged to use the Peshmerga to join the

:08:52. > :08:56.fight. But they are not going to do his fighting for him. They already

:08:57. > :09:02.had fallen out with him, they blame him for the fighting. And they will

:09:03. > :09:13.not impose order which they do not know what it is going to be. And

:09:14. > :09:20.certainly not do it on his behalf. There has been comments about the

:09:21. > :09:28.need to protect Shia shrines. How significant are these comments from

:09:29. > :09:36.the Iranians president. I think he is following rather than leading on

:09:37. > :09:40.that. There are already something like 5000 volunteers who may be on

:09:41. > :09:45.the way to protect those shrines. For Iran it is clear there is a red

:09:46. > :09:54.line around those Shi'ite shrines in Baghdad. And also in the South. They

:09:55. > :10:05.will not allow those to go and anything it takes, they will do to

:10:06. > :10:11.keep those shrines in Shia hands. We also heard from Nouri al-Maliki who

:10:12. > :10:14.urged the country to unite. The trouble is at the moment this

:10:15. > :10:17.country does not seem united and is not able to combat the threat of

:10:18. > :10:24.Isis at the moment. As the conflict continues we're

:10:25. > :10:27.learning more about the group - ISIS - our world affairs

:10:28. > :10:38.correspondent Paul Adams is here. They use social media, they are

:10:39. > :10:44.almost corporate. Well the more you examine the group and what they say

:10:45. > :10:47.about themselves, if you look at some of the reporting they are

:10:48. > :10:51.conducting for top for the last couple of years they have put

:10:52. > :10:58.together audits of their operations in Iraq. Some of that makes pretty

:10:59. > :11:03.gruesome reading. They break down their violent at DVDs to every

:11:04. > :11:10.conceivable activity. Suicide bombs, car bombs, even I quote, apostates

:11:11. > :11:16.run over and unbelievers expelled. Some of those statistics might be

:11:17. > :11:22.massaged for effect. They are interested of course in attracting

:11:23. > :11:28.donors but also use bank robberies and extortion. But what they are now

:11:29. > :11:31.displaying is a formidable ability to organise and an intention to take

:11:32. > :11:36.over the country. I think the collapse of muscle alarmed everyone.

:11:37. > :11:41.When you look at those statistics you realise they have made a massive

:11:42. > :11:51.effort to destabilise the situation up in the North. -- Mosul. They have

:11:52. > :11:57.become a much more formidable enemy that anyone allowed themselves to

:11:58. > :12:01.admit. And in the words of one recent American analysis, they could

:12:02. > :12:07.become a permanent fixture in the Middle East unless there is a

:12:08. > :12:13.strategy to defeat them. Well Norman Smith is in Westminster. How much of

:12:14. > :12:18.an influence they thought to have here. Well yesterday the Prime

:12:19. > :12:23.Minister described them as the greatest security threat we face.

:12:24. > :12:28.Today he was more explicit about the threat we face from British born

:12:29. > :12:32.citizens going out there and training as terrorists and then

:12:33. > :12:38.coming back. He said, I quote, they are planning to attack us here at

:12:39. > :12:42.home in the UK. Yesterday was thought a tilt in British foreign

:12:43. > :12:47.policy reaching out to Iran and today we had a tilt in British

:12:48. > :12:54.security policy -- security policy. The Prime Minister said he had a

:12:55. > :12:59.series of meetings to refocus efforts on jihadists coming back

:13:00. > :13:02.from Iraq and Syria. He says there are now a greater threat than

:13:03. > :13:06.terrorism is coming back from Afghanistan or Pakistan. He also

:13:07. > :13:11.confirmed the Home Secretary has seized the passports of a number of

:13:12. > :13:18.Britain's who are thought to go out to Iraq or Syria. One final thing,

:13:19. > :13:24.there was no party politics about this at Prime Ministers Questions.

:13:25. > :13:25.There is broad cross-party consensus that this is a very serious threat

:13:26. > :13:31.that we now face. And there'll be

:13:32. > :13:33.a special programme on the Iraq crisis on the BBC News Channel

:13:34. > :13:36.and 4 o'clock this afternoon. Health chiefs are warning

:13:37. > :13:38.of a major funding gap in England's The BBC understands that there is

:13:39. > :13:43.a projected deficit of up to two billion pounds in the financial year

:13:44. > :13:45.beginning next April. The Department of Health says it

:13:46. > :14:06.will continue to make the necessary The report contains some flash

:14:07. > :14:09.photography. These are challenging times for the National Health

:14:10. > :14:14.Service. The budget has been frozen as part of plans to reduce the

:14:15. > :14:17.deficit to keep up with the rising population and increasing demands on

:14:18. > :14:21.the NHS, efficiency savings have been required. Now health chiefs

:14:22. > :14:26.have warned that for the next financial year the sums do not add

:14:27. > :14:30.up. I have tension costs have added to existing pressures and a new

:14:31. > :14:38.policy moving resources to community care for the elderly from hospitals

:14:39. > :14:46.will hit finances. One report underlines the scale of the

:14:47. > :14:53.challenge. The annual budget is ?78 billion and there is a funding gap

:14:54. > :15:00.of just over five within pounds. A deficit of ?1.6 billion will remain

:15:01. > :15:08.even after budget measures. The worry is the contagion now taking

:15:09. > :15:12.place from a few NHS providers in difficulty to many experiencing

:15:13. > :15:24.this. And that is a real worry both politically and for patients and the

:15:25. > :15:27.public. The Government is going to have to choose between allowing

:15:28. > :15:34.quality to fall back, waiting times to grow, or putting that extra money

:15:35. > :15:37.in. List is say the health service can still deliver high-quality care

:15:38. > :15:42.and make further efficiency savings. They point out a report by a think

:15:43. > :15:45.tank the Commonwealth foundation rated the NHS is top amongst leading

:15:46. > :15:53.economies for safe and efficient patient care. Hugh joins me now. Up

:15:54. > :16:00.to ?2 billion, can the whole be plugged? It depends who you talk to.

:16:01. > :16:04.If you speak to hospital chiefs, there is a real worry that it is

:16:05. > :16:09.going to be very difficult to plug this gap. Rising demand still, and

:16:10. > :16:13.the extra factors like higher pension contributions and the new

:16:14. > :16:19.Government policy, better care, to shift resources from hospitals on to

:16:20. > :16:22.the community, a widely praised policy, but the worry is it will

:16:23. > :16:26.take money out of hospitals when they are already struggling.

:16:27. > :16:30.Government sources aching clear that a lot of efficiency savings have

:16:31. > :16:33.achieved, ?20 billion over the course of this Parliament in annual

:16:34. > :16:39.running costs. What's to say that can't be achieved for next year? The

:16:40. > :16:42.view I hear from Whitehall is that it is not a precise figure, they are

:16:43. > :16:47.still trying to look at what it will end up as. But not far from a

:16:48. > :16:51.general election, this needs to be resolved fairly soon to give peace

:16:52. > :16:57.of mind to politicians and health professionals. Hugh Pym, thank you

:16:58. > :17:02.very much. White, working-class children leave school with worse

:17:03. > :17:05.qualifications the equally poor black and Asian pupils. That is

:17:06. > :17:10.according to a group of MPs who are calling for longer school day is to

:17:11. > :17:14.allow pupils to do her work in school. They also say that more

:17:15. > :17:22.incentives are needed to attract the best teachers to deprived areas.

:17:23. > :17:25.The 11 and 12-year-olds at Northshore Academy in Stockton are

:17:26. > :17:28.the lucky ones. Despite living in one of the poorest parts of the

:17:29. > :17:33.country, they are being taught in a rapidly improving school. But white

:17:34. > :17:36.working-class children elsewhere are falling far behind pupils who are

:17:37. > :17:42.wealthy or come from different ethnic groups. Here, they believe it

:17:43. > :17:50.is caused by lack of confidence. Generation of families have not

:17:51. > :17:56.achieved in the past, and so no jobs, no aspirations, why go to

:17:57. > :17:59.school? Just under one third of poor white British children got at least

:18:00. > :18:03.five good GCSEs including English and maths last year, compared with

:18:04. > :18:07.more than half of all children from an Indian background and over three

:18:08. > :18:12.quarters of underprivileged children from a Chinese background. There are

:18:13. > :18:15.no excuses, and we can make a huge and transformative difference to

:18:16. > :18:19.poor children if we improve the quality of schools, if we increase

:18:20. > :18:26.the incentives to deploy the best teachers to provide education for

:18:27. > :18:29.the most challenging circumstances. This is one of the places where they

:18:30. > :18:35.teach teachers. The Institute of education attract students from all

:18:36. > :18:38.over the world. But are the teachers of tomorrow prepared to move and

:18:39. > :18:40.work in some of our more disadvantaged communities? I have a
