:01:59. > :02:02.that the British Embassy in Tehran is to reopen for the first time
:02:03. > :02:05.since 2011 as he called on Iran to play a more positive role
:02:06. > :02:08.in the volatile region. America is sending almost 300
:02:09. > :02:13.troops to Iraq to protect embassy staff there as ISIS-led fighters
:02:14. > :02:17.continue to push towards Baghdad. The Islamist insurgents
:02:18. > :02:19.have now come within just 40 miles of the capital.
:02:20. > :02:22.There was fierce fighting overnight, forcing many people
:02:23. > :02:25.to flee their homes. In a moment, the latest from Iraq,
:02:26. > :02:37.but first this report from our political editor, Nick Robinson.
:02:38. > :02:44.What a difference three years can make. This was the British embassy
:02:45. > :02:48.in Tehran in November 2011, a mob ransacked offices, smashed pictures
:02:49. > :02:51.of the Queen, and chanted deaths to England. The building has been
:02:52. > :03:01.closed ever since, but that is about to change, along with those -- this
:03:02. > :03:04.country's relationship with Iran. It is right to rebuild that
:03:05. > :03:09.relationship. We would be doing that anyway, irrespective of what is
:03:10. > :03:13.happening in Iraq... But what is happening in Iraq has convinced the
:03:14. > :03:17.West to improve relations with neighbouring Iran. These are
:03:18. > :03:23.pictures of the Sunni extremist group ISIS which is now fighting
:03:24. > :03:26.just 40 miles from Baghdad. This is the most serious threat to
:03:27. > :03:31.Britain's security that there is today. The number of foreign
:03:32. > :03:34.fighters in that area, the number of foreign fighters, including those
:03:35. > :03:39.from the UK who could try to return to the UK, this is a real threats to
:03:40. > :03:46.our country. And this is the man Britain and the United States hope
:03:47. > :03:49.they can do business with, the Iranian president, who used his
:03:50. > :03:54.Twitter account to show he is a different type of leader, a man who
:03:55. > :04:00.watches his team play in the World Cup and tweets, proud of our boys.
:04:01. > :04:06.Our top stories, 300 American Armed Forces Day... This morning in
:04:07. > :04:11.America people awoke to the news that they are having to think the
:04:12. > :04:20.previously unthinkable. The history of the rift between the US and Iran
:04:21. > :04:26.goes back to the Islamic Revolution in the capture of 52 American
:04:27. > :04:35.hostages only freed after 444 days. Even without all that history, there
:04:36. > :04:39.would be problems, not least this - Iran's nuclear programme. Peaceful,
:04:40. > :04:42.they say, but others are not sure, and they expressed their doubts
:04:43. > :04:48.about how far any new relationship should go. While we should welcome
:04:49. > :04:51.the resumption of diplomatic relations and normalisation, isn't
:04:52. > :04:55.it necessary to reassure our closest allies in the Middle East that there
:04:56. > :04:58.are very severe limits for the foreseeable future as to the kind of
:04:59. > :05:02.relationship we can have with Iran? Is it not going to be the kind of
:05:03. > :05:06.relationship the West had with the Soviet Union during the Cold War? On
:05:07. > :05:12.the streets of the Iranian capital, the British embassy Stanza, waiting

:05:19. > :05:21.one says good relations with the people in the countries of the world
:05:22. > :05:26.can have a great positive effect on the advancement of our country. You
:05:27. > :05:31.know the old saying, my enemy's enemy is my friend. It is a cliche,
:05:32. > :05:36.of course, but that is because it has so often been proved true. Today
:05:37. > :05:39.in Iran did not become a friend of Britain's, she certainly became a
:05:40. > :05:44.little less of an enemy. Nick Robinson, BBC News, Westminster.
:05:45. > :05:49.In Iraq, the militant offensive has reached the outskirts of Baquba,
:05:50. > :05:51.a city of around 500,000 people just 40 miles from Baghdad.
:05:52. > :05:54.ISIS fighters and other armed groups are understood
:05:55. > :05:56.to have attacked some of the suburbs overnight before being pushed back
:05:57. > :06:00.by government forces. From Baghdad,
:06:01. > :06:04.Jonathan Beale reports. Iraqi forces are taking the fight
:06:05. > :06:07.to the Sunni extremists. In Kirkuk, they were using tanks
:06:08. > :06:10.to target ISIS fighters, but even heavy armour can't halt
:06:11. > :06:15.the violence spreading through swathes of the country.
:06:16. > :06:21.We travelled out of Baghdad, north towards the city of Baquba,
:06:22. > :06:27.the new front line for the ISIS jihadists and 60 kilometres away.
:06:28. > :06:29.This is one of the main routes into Baghdad,
:06:30. > :06:31.and behind me, about 30 kilometres in the distance,
:06:32. > :06:34.is the city of Baquba, and we're told that ISIS forces
:06:35. > :06:37.have already entered parts of the city.
:06:38. > :06:42.And, off course, if they take Baquba, then it's a clear route
:06:43. > :06:45.into the capital. We went as far as we were told
:06:46. > :06:53.it was safe to go, to meet Ali, who lives in Baquba.
:06:54. > :06:58.So you're running away from ISIS? And he's witnessed the fighting.
:06:59. > :07:00.He told me it was going to be a bloody fight
:07:01. > :07:05.between Sunni and Shia, and he warned it would soon
:07:06. > :07:10.be happening in Baghdad too. Ibrahim also had a narrow escape.
:07:11. > :07:13.Now back home with his family, he is a policeman injured
:07:14. > :07:16.while fighting the Sunni extremists in Samarra, thankful that,
:07:17. > :07:22.unlike some of his comrades, he's lived to tell the tale.
:07:23. > :07:29.He says ISIS are ruthless. TRANSLATION: They shot at
:07:30. > :07:33.the convoy, all civilians. One of them shot at the tyres of
:07:34. > :07:36.the bus and killed everyone in it. The bus was carrying 24 men,
:07:37. > :07:39.and they killed them all. Ibrahim doesn't believe that ISIS is
:07:40. > :07:42.strong enough to take Baghdad, but today another bomb went off in the
:07:43. > :07:45.city centre, killing three people. Even if ISIS have not yet
:07:46. > :07:48.reached the city, there are signs that
:07:49. > :07:53.their sympathisers are already here. Jonathan Beale, BBC News, Baghdad.
:07:54. > :07:59.Our world affairs editor, John Simpson, is in Baghdad now.
:08:00. > :08:07.What role can Iran play in trying to tackle the ISIS fighters in Iraq?
:08:08. > :08:11.Well, I think it is true to say, Sophie, that Iran is the only
:08:12. > :08:17.external country that can do anything here. It already
:08:18. > :08:21.influencers the government in Iraq a great deal, too much, many people
:08:22. > :08:27.say. By comparison, Britain, the United States are past players who
:08:28. > :08:31.aren't doing anything here really very much, and all they can do is to
:08:32. > :08:37.try to co-ordinated their views and put a little bit of pressure on Iran
:08:38. > :08:44.to get it to do what they want. -- co-ordinated. But Iran is running
:08:45. > :08:47.this as its game, and not as a British or American game. This city
:08:48. > :08:53.doesn't really feel now quite so much as though it is about to fall.
:08:54. > :08:57.I mean, last week was really difficult with three battalions of
:08:58. > :09:04.the regular army just running for it. Things have stabilised now, and
:09:05. > :09:07.although Baquba is only 35, 30 seven miles away, it nevertheless does
:09:08. > :09:14.seem to be stabilising there a little bit. -- 37 miles away. And as
:09:15. > :09:18.we heard, Baghdad is a very different and much more formidable
:09:19. > :09:23.proposition, so people here are starting to hope that ISIS won't be
:09:24. > :09:27.coming down this far. John Simpson in Baghdad, thank you.
:09:28. > :09:30.John Simpson, is in Baghdad now. The Court of Appeal has ruled that
:09:31. > :09:32.a woman with terminal cancer had her human rights violated
:09:33. > :09:35.because she was not consulted about a "do not resuscitate"
:09:36. > :09:37.order placed in her medical notes. 63-year-old Janet Tracey died
:09:38. > :09:40.at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge three years ago.
:09:41. > :09:42.The ruling means that patients in England, or their families,
:09:43. > :09:44.should be consulted about whether or not to try to resuscitate them.
:09:45. > :09:58.Here is Jon Brain. Everyday at hospitals across the
:09:59. > :10:01.country, doctors face the dilemma of whether to resuscitate a dying
:10:02. > :10:06.patient. Often they decide it is kinder not to even try. Admitted
:10:07. > :10:09.with a broken neck and already suffering from terminal cancer,
:10:10. > :10:15.Janet Tracey was well aware she might never return home. But she was
:10:16. > :10:19.devastated to discover that staff at Adam Brookes had put a "do not
:10:20. > :10:23.resuscitate" notice in her records without consulting her. --
:10:24. > :10:28.Addenbrooke's. Today her family went to the Court of Appeal to hear three
:10:29. > :10:31.judges ruled that the hospital had reached her human rights. It was
:10:32. > :10:37.extremely distressing for my wife, she was in tears, and nobody should
:10:38. > :10:43.have to go through that in hospital. You know, any hospital.
:10:44. > :10:48.When Mum found out that the decision had been made without her
:10:49. > :10:51.consultation, she was very upset, and the hospital also told her that
:10:52. > :10:58.we have said it was OK for them to put the note in her file, and we
:10:59. > :11:04.didn't. So it's very difficult to explain how upset she was. As she
:11:05. > :11:07.lay in her hospital bed here, Janet Tracey had problems with her
:11:08. > :11:11.breathing and found it difficult to talk, but she did write a note to
:11:12. > :11:15.doctors showing she wanted to be consulted about her treatment.
:11:16. > :11:18.Please don't exclude me, it said. The hospital trust says it will now
:11:19. > :11:23.carefully considered the implications of the day's judgment.
:11:24. > :11:27.Janet Tracey's family say they hope that no one else will have to go
:11:28. > :11:30.through the same experience. She would have expected us to do
:11:31. > :11:34.something in the light of her death to put things in place for others,
:11:35. > :11:40.that was the person she was, she cared for others all her life.
:11:41. > :11:43.Today's reeling does not mean that relatives will have the right to
:11:44. > :11:46.demand that resuscitation of their loved ones has to be attempted, it
:11:47. > :11:50.will be a decision for doctors alone, but it is a decision they
:11:51. > :11:52.will have to convey to those affected. Jon Brain, BBC News,
:11:53. > :12:00.Cambridge. Inflation has fallen to its lowest
:12:01. > :12:03.level for four and a half years. It stood at 1.5% in May.
:12:04. > :12:05.Supermarket price wars helped to push down on food prices,
:12:06. > :12:08.and cheaper airfares also contributed to the lower rate.
:12:09. > :12:09.But prices are still rising faster than wages,
:12:10. > :12:14.as our economic correspondent, Simon Jack, reports.
:12:15. > :12:19.After the races, the going for the economy seems officially good to
:12:20. > :12:23.firm with further evidence that is not pushing prices up to fast. In
:12:24. > :12:27.fact, thanks to cheap travel and food, inflation in May fell to its
:12:28. > :12:33.lowest level in four and a half years, but is that being felt in
:12:34. > :12:38.punters' pockets? We struggled in 2007 and 2008, but things are better
:12:39. > :12:47.now. Up the economy is picking up, it is very positive, people have got
:12:48. > :12:50.a few quid. Whether it is in Ascot or Aylesbury, prices are still
:12:51. > :12:55.rising, just less quickly. The economy is growing at a rate we have
:12:56. > :12:58.not seen before the big downturn, unemployment has fallen sharply, and
:12:59. > :13:03.inflation is low, but prices are still rising more than wages, so is
:13:04. > :13:07.it too soon to say that the big squeeze is over? I don't think the
:13:08. > :13:12.pay rises are going up with inflation, I don't feel like I am
:13:13. > :13:16.getting my money back in my wages. Everything seems to be high, bills
:13:17. > :13:21.and everything, but wages don't go high. Last week, the Bank of England
:13:22. > :13:26.warned it may raise interest rates this year to head off inflation, so
:13:27. > :13:32.what would it make of these numbers? It is a bit of a pinch, but it is
:13:33. > :13:37.low to be concerned, so interest rates will probably rise in the next
:13:38. > :13:43.six to 12 months, but slightly later than we thought previously. One
:13:44. > :13:48.thing, getting much less affordable is housing. Prices rose 99% on
:13:49. > :13:56.average across the country, and by more than inflation in every part of
:13:57. > :14:00.the UK. -- 9.9%. The betting is the Bank of England will tell us how it
:14:01. > :14:07.intends to rain that in next week. The Chinese government has said it
:14:08. > :14:09.wants to invest in a number of the UK's major infrastructure projects,
:14:10. > :14:13.including high-speed rail and nuclear power stations. The
:14:14. > :14:17.announcement was made as the Chinese Prime Minister signed a series of

:17:33. > :17:44.- now Speakers Corner gets a makeover.
:17:45. > :17:47.MPs have accused the Government of getting
:17:48. > :17:53.its spending priorities wrong and not doing enough to maintain flood
:17:54. > :17:55.defences in England and Wales. Record levels of rain fell
:17:56. > :17:58.on parts of England and Wales last winter, making it
:17:59. > :18:01.the wettest in more than 200 years. Around 7,000 properties were
:18:02. > :18:03.flooded, with parts of Somerset under water for three months.
:18:04. > :18:06.Although the Environment Agency says they did protect more than a
:18:07. > :18:09.million properties, the MPs' report says current levels of maintenance
:18:10. > :18:12.funding is at a "bare minimum". Our Science Editor, David Shukman,
:18:13. > :18:20.joins us from Datchet in Berkshire, one of the areas worst affected.
:18:21. > :18:27.Thank you, when the weather is this good, it is very easy to forget that
:18:28. > :18:30.dreadfulp winter and all the flooding. It is this very spot,
:18:31. > :18:34.beside the River Thames a few months ago, at the worst of the flooding
:18:35. > :18:38.that the waters reached up about this high. The MPs on the Select
:18:39. > :18:41.Committee want the Government to learn some lessons from this. In
:18:42. > :18:45.particular, that it is not enough just to spend money on new flood
:18:46. > :18:51.defences, you also have to look after them as well.
:18:52. > :18:58.In the battedle against flooding, clearing even a small screen can
:18:59. > :19:02.make a small difference. Up and -- a big difference. Twaems are at work
:19:03. > :19:06.up and down the country but the Select Committee says not enough is
:19:07. > :19:09.being done. It is hard to believe a stream like this can possibly cause
:19:10. > :19:13.any trouble but if it gets blocked and there is heavy rain, the water
:19:14. > :19:18.level rises and causes flooding nearby. The MPs say while it is
:19:19. > :19:21.vital for the country to keep investing in flood defences and
:19:22. > :19:26.barriers, it is just as important to spend more money on work keeping the
:19:27. > :19:31.waterways flowing freely. The flooding of recent months came
:19:32. > :19:36.during the wettest winter on record but a key factor was where flood
:19:37. > :19:41.defences had been built in previous years and how well they had been
:19:42. > :19:45.maintained. Had there been regular maintenance
:19:46. > :19:51.and dredging of caught courses, over a period of time, the last 15 to 20
:19:52. > :19:54.years, not just the last three or four years, then it would have had
:19:55. > :20:00.quite dramatic impact on resisting flooding. Over this current
:20:01. > :20:04.five-year period, the Government has committed ?3.2 billion to preventing
:20:05. > :20:10.flooding but spending on maintenance, which was ?170 million
:20:11. > :20:15.two years ago, fell last year to 174 million. In the Somerset levels,
:20:16. > :20:17.under water, the one thing people called for was for the rivers to be
:20:18. > :20:18.dredged. under water, the one thing people

:24:20. > :24:29.but there is growing excitement about radio heap Sterling. It is
:24:30. > :24:33.said you can often learn more in defeat than in victory. In the race
:24:34. > :24:38.of Raheem Sterling, defeat was a revelation. Fit to burst with
:24:39. > :24:43.steepage exuberance, he announced himself on the world stage with a
:24:44. > :24:47.performance that thrilled a much with aing nation. A performance,
:24:48. > :24:52.largely responsible for the feelings of opt stitch that followed the
:24:53. > :24:57.loss. It was obviously a dream come true for any young lad to make an
:24:58. > :25:02.appearance in such a big tournament. When I was on the pitch I tried to
:25:03. > :25:06.think of it as a normal game and not really think about the importance of
:25:07. > :25:10.it and just try to express myself and do my best for the team.
:25:11. > :25:14.Sterling's story began in jam aica. He moved to London as a child and
:25:15. > :25:19.grew up in the shadow of Wembley Stadium, dreaming of playing for
:25:20. > :25:23.England. He always had great skill and balance. To see him playing in
:25:24. > :25:28.the number 10 role at such a young age, is incredible. I always thought
:25:29. > :25:33.that would be his position, he can go left or right. I thought it would
:25:34. > :25:37.take more time. It is amazing the fact he has played for England at
:25:38. > :25:43.the World Cup. He made his Liverpool debut two years ago, to become their
:25:44. > :25:47.second-youngest ever player and England coach and former defender
:25:48. > :25:55.Gary Neville says he is an exciting prospect. If you are watching, you
:25:56. > :26:00.think you cannot can't stop him, he can go left or right and he has
:26:01. > :26:06.speed. Italian defenders were some of the best in the world E took them
:26:07. > :26:13.into uncomfortable places the other night. A tattoo featuring his
:26:14. > :26:17.two-year-old daughter features on his arm.
:26:18. > :26:25.He has made his mark. He'll be hoping for a repeat performance.
:26:26. > :26:31.Elder statesman of the squad, has said that the squad has been crying
:26:32. > :26:35.out for youthful exuberance. Wayne Rooney has hit back at suggestions
:26:36. > :26:38.from the press today that he was training away from the first team
:26:39. > :26:42.yesterday because he is about to get dropped. He said on social media he
:26:43. > :26:47.was simply doing his own extra training and he sometimes wonders
:26:48. > :26:53.what the press are getting at. Time for the weather now with John
:26:54. > :26:56.Hammond. Like Brazil in Scotland today.
:26:57. > :27:00.Temperatures soaring up to 26. It hasn't been as sunny else where.
:27:01. > :27:03.Showers in parts of central Scotland now drifting down through the
:27:04. > :27:08.borders into Cumbria. Most of us will avoid these but it turns damp
:27:09. > :27:12.later through central and eastern parts of England. A muggy night A
:27:13. > :27:15.humid night, particularly across northern towns and cities.
:27:16. > :27:22.Temperatures here staying in the high teens all night. Mo some
:27:23. > :27:30.mistiness around, too. That muggy feel continues.
:27:31. > :27:33.Hopefully the brightness developing here but the odd shower too.
:27:34. > :27:36.Northern Ireland sharing in the sunshine but there could be light
:27:37. > :27:39.showers in the eastern side of Scotland across the borders down
:27:40. > :27:42.into the Pennines, maybe the high ground of Wales and south-west.
:27:43. > :27:46.Fairly isolated but one or two quite sharp ones possible. That's it. Most
:27:47. > :27:49.of us will avoid them entirely and stay dry with some sunshine. More
:27:50. > :27:52.cloud around than today across southern and eastern areas. It'll
:27:53. > :27:56.feel comfortable enough, though, if you are heading off to Ascot, for
:27:57. > :27:59.example, cloudier skies. It will be cloudy again on Thursday but with
:28:00. > :28:03.light winds and dry weather it should be OK, I think. Thursday will
:28:04. > :28:06.be a fairly cloudy day across the country. A breeze come down from the
:28:07. > :28:11.north. A cooling breeze, too. The odd shower around but again, most
:28:12. > :28:15.places will be dry. That breeze will carry somewhat cooler conditions
:28:16. > :28:19.down from the north, as I mentioned. It'll knock temperatures on the head
:28:20. > :28:23.across northern and central areas. One more warm day across the south.
:28:24. > :28:24.Temperatures into the mid-20s, potentially, the risk
:28:25. > :28:28.across northern and central areas. One of the odd sharp shower. Looking
:28:29. > :28:30.forward to the weekend. Drier weather to come.
