:01:35. > :01:37.BBC News at Six. A battle is being waged over Iraq's
:01:38. > :01:41.biggest oil refinery as extremists and government forces
:01:42. > :01:44.fight to take control. The government claims it has now
:01:45. > :01:47.driven out ISIS extremists from the refinery, which lies about
:01:48. > :01:51.a hundred miles north of the capital Baghdad in the town of Baiji.
:01:52. > :01:54.But there are also claims that the extremists currently control
:01:55. > :01:56.three quarters of it. The Iraqi prime minister, Nouri
:01:57. > :01:59.al-Maliki, has used a televised speech to urge his countrymen to
:02:00. > :02:04.unite against ISIS, and formally requested US airstrikes.
:02:05. > :02:06.Here, David Cameron told MPs that the crisis
:02:07. > :02:12.in Iraq poses a direct threat to the UK in that extremists there are
:02:13. > :02:20.also planning to strike in the UK. Jonathan Beale reports from Baghdad.
:02:21. > :02:30.Another day, and another assault by ISIS. The images appear to show the
:02:31. > :02:34.Sunni extremists triumphantly entering Baiji, about 100 miles from
:02:35. > :02:38.the capital, and making the most of the military equipment they have
:02:39. > :02:42.already seized from the Iraqi army. Baiji is home to Iraq's largest oil
:02:43. > :02:46.refinery, and in the past 24 hours, there has been heavy fighting there.
:02:47. > :02:51.We can't verify these images, but they appear to show smoke rising
:02:52. > :02:57.from the direction of the refinery. We were taken by the government of
:02:58. > :03:01.the West of Baghdad. To see their special forces in action. They were
:03:02. > :03:06.carrying out vehicle checks. They appeared well armed and equipped ma
:03:07. > :03:14.and said they were already battle hardened and ready to take on ISIS.
:03:15. > :03:18.Yet, we fight them in Fallujah and some are. And here we are in
:03:19. > :03:27.Baghdad. So any time, anywhere, we fight them. Do you think they will
:03:28. > :03:29.come to Baghdad? No, they can't. This is a carefully choreographed
:03:30. > :03:34.media opportunity by the Iraqi government to show off their best
:03:35. > :03:38.troops, their special forces and to underline that they are in control
:03:39. > :03:45.of the capital, Baghdad. But the reality is ISIS is still fighting in
:03:46. > :03:51.large parts of the country. This is the contrast. These are the latest
:03:52. > :03:55.volunteers for the Iraqi army. They are still learning to march and how
:03:56. > :03:59.to fire their weapons. So far, government forces have proved unable
:04:00. > :04:06.to halt the advance of the Sunni extremists. There is still evident
:04:07. > :04:14.as well of a sectarian divide. They are chanting the name of the leading
:04:15. > :04:19.Shia cleric. Iraq's prime minister, addressing the nation, still insists
:04:20. > :04:23.that despite failings, they are united. TRANSLATION: Not every
:04:24. > :04:28.setback is a defeat. This has allowed Iraq to recover national
:04:29. > :04:32.unity. Not a single Iraqi would benefit from this crisis. Only the
:04:33. > :04:36.terrorists will benefit, and those who trade in arms. Those who start
:04:37. > :04:40.the Fire are burned by fire. But if anyone thought ISIS was a
:04:41. > :04:46.disorganised, disparate group, who was some evidence to make them think
:04:47. > :04:50.again. This is their annual report for 2013, a slick document that
:04:51. > :04:56.boasts of over 1000 assassination and more than 500 car bombings. For
:04:57. > :05:00.Iraq, it is now a fight for survival. Here, Kurdish militia are
:05:01. > :05:04.seen taking on ISIS near the city of Kirkuk. Even if they can be
:05:05. > :05:09.defeated, ISIS has already opened up a sectarian divide that might never
:05:10. > :05:11.heal. Jonathan Beale, BBC News, Baghdad.
:05:12. > :05:13.Jonathan Beale reports from Baghdad. Iran, which neighbours Iraq
:05:14. > :05:16.and is predominantly Shiite Muslim, has vowed to protect holy Shiite
:05:17. > :05:20.shrines from the ISIS Sunni Muslim extremists, which could dramatically

:05:27. > :05:28.from the Iraqi town of Karbala, home to one of these shrines.
:05:29. > :05:39.What did you find there? It is in fact home to the most
:05:40. > :05:46.important of all the shrines. I spoke to the man in charge of the
:05:47. > :05:55.general administration of the entire religious area. He is incidentally
:05:56. > :06:00.the man who read out the order that anybody who wanted to volunteer to
:06:01. > :06:04.go out to fight ISIS should do so, though he is a very senior man.
:06:05. > :06:05.Never given an interview before. He was very nervous about the future of
:06:06. > :06:11.this country, and was was very nervous about the future of

:06:19. > :06:20.Iraq is in danger and indeed, could endanger all the states around,
:06:21. > :06:26.which of course would mean Iran as well. The US has confirmed tonight
:06:27. > :06:37.that the Iraqi prime minister has requested air strikes. Yes. I think
:06:38. > :06:43.that was inevitable. It looks like an attempt to force the Americans'
:06:44. > :06:46.hand. President Obama is going through yet another one of these
:06:47. > :06:51.lengthy discussion processes before he makes his announcement on what he
:06:52. > :06:59.will do. I think it will be very hard now for him just to say, sorry,
:07:00. > :07:06.we can't really help you. I think the Iraqi government is getting a
:07:07. > :07:12.bit desperate. Last week, three of its battalions collapsed in the face
:07:13. > :07:20.of the ISIS advance. They need something really good to stop ISIS
:07:21. > :07:24.altogether. Thank you. We can talk now to our Deputy political editor
:07:25. > :07:28.James Langdale in Downing Street. David Cameron pointed out in the
:07:29. > :07:34.Commons today that in his view, Iraq poses a direct threat to us in the
:07:35. > :07:37.UK? Yes, the point he was making was that in his view, it would be wrong
:07:38. > :07:43.to think the conflict in Iraq has nothing to do with us. He said "the
:07:44. > :07:48.people of that regime, namely ISIS, are planning to attack us here in
:07:49. > :07:53.the UK". He said radicalised militants coming back from Iraq and
:07:54. > :07:58.Syria now posed a greater threat to the UK than those coming back from
:07:59. > :08:02.Afghanistan and Pakistan. He said police and intelligence forces were
:08:03. > :08:06.looking at the issue. Was why he chaired a meeting of the National
:08:07. > :08:09.Security Council here this afternoon to discuss the situation. That is
:08:10. > :08:14.why his officials let us know today that already, 65 people have been
:08:15. > :08:19.arrested here for what are called jihadi and Syria related activity.
:08:20. > :08:24.Again, the prime minister made clear that no British involvement in any
:08:25. > :08:27.military action will happen. Instead, he said there should be
:08:28. > :08:31.more pressure on the Maliki regime to be more inclusive, and closed
:08:32. > :08:34.down in these spaces in Iraq that are allowing extremism to spread.
:08:35. > :08:37.What did you find there? Health bosses are warning
:08:38. > :08:39.of a major funding gap looming in England's NHS budget.
:08:40. > :08:42.The BBC understands that there is a projected deficit
:08:43. > :08:45.of up to ?2 billion in the financial year beginning next April.
:08:46. > :08:49.The Department of Health says it will continue to make the necessary
:08:50. > :08:58.savings to meet rising demand. Here's our Health Editor, Hugh Pym.
:08:59. > :09:07.Caring more for patients in their homes. One of the key aims of health
:09:08. > :09:12.policy, including with Southwark and Lambeth integrated care. Christine
:09:13. > :09:17.has multiple health problems. A home visit from a nurse is often the best
:09:18. > :09:20.option, removing the need for expensive hospital treatment. In the
:09:21. > :09:24.long run, shifting more resources into the community may save money,
:09:25. > :09:31.but right now the NHS faces a financial squeeze. The NHS, and more
:09:32. > :09:34.specifically hospitals, are caught between rapidly rising cost as they
:09:35. > :09:39.have taken on more nurses to deal with the concerns about quality.
:09:40. > :09:44.They have got rising drug costs, and pensions are going up. An estimate
:09:45. > :09:53.by the health regulator Monitor undermines the scale of the
:09:54. > :09:57.challenge. The annual budget is ?78 billion. Monitor says that for next
:09:58. > :10:01.year, there is a funding gap of just over five early on. It says that
:10:02. > :10:06.even after realistic efficiency savings, a deficit of ?1.6 billion
:10:07. > :10:09.will remain. In the Commons, the prime minister was challenged over
:10:10. > :10:13.the figures. The estimate is being made today are being made on the
:10:14. > :10:19.basis that we have set challenges for the NHS in terms of making
:10:20. > :10:23.efficiencies. After four years in government, they have met those
:10:24. > :10:27.efficiency challenges every year under this government. And that
:10:28. > :10:32.money has been ploughed back into better patient care in our NHS. The
:10:33. > :10:38.big question now is whether further efficiency savings can be found to
:10:39. > :10:41.cover next year's gap. The NHS is facing mounting financial
:10:42. > :10:45.pressures, a budget which in effect has been frozen after taking account
:10:46. > :10:50.of inflation and a growing population with increasing demands
:10:51. > :10:53.for treatment. And even at this community-based trust, which is
:10:54. > :10:57.doing its best to minimise hospital stays, there are financial
:10:58. > :11:02.headaches. We are an organisation that has balanced our books and hit
:11:03. > :11:08.our financial targets pretty much 14 years in a row. This year, we are
:11:09. > :11:14.facing really serious financial challenges. And next year? And next
:11:15. > :11:19.year, tougher still. Whatever the pressures, NHS do their best for
:11:20. > :11:23.patients. A report by a think-tank, the Commonwealth fund, rated the NHS

:21:39. > :21:41.main man back for this game and he will play and we know from the
:21:42. > :21:45.Premier League what a handful he is as a player and how many qualities
:21:46. > :21:49.he brings to the game. So we will have our work cut out. If England
:21:50. > :22:00.need inspiration after their defeat to Italy, they need look no further
:22:01. > :22:04.than Mexico 86. Gary Lineker helping the team qualify the last time they
:22:05. > :22:07.lost their opening World Cup match. He said the current squad must
:22:08. > :22:13.believe in themselves. If England play in a similar manner with an
:22:14. > :22:18.aggressive forward, attacking possession kind of game with the
:22:19. > :22:21.likes of sterling going at people, I would be confident. Uruguay were
:22:22. > :22:26.poor in the first game. I expect them to improve, but it is easier
:22:27. > :22:31.going into a second match if you have lost like both teams have, have
:22:32. > :22:36.you have played well rather than being pretty awful as Uruguay were.
:22:37. > :22:38.All week that is the message that Roy Hodgson will have been
:22:39. > :22:43.delivering to his players as they prepare for a game they dare not
:22:44. > :22:47.lose. It will become clear soon whether they have listened and
:22:48. > :22:53.learned. Dan is in Sao Paulo for us now. What is the mood in the England
:22:54. > :22:59.camp, but I guess the answer must be publicly optimistic? I think so.
:23:00. > :23:03.After all they were gallant losers in Manaus against Italy. So England
:23:04. > :23:07.will draw confidence from that. Having said, they're playing an
:23:08. > :23:11.experienced side in Uruguay tomorrow in Sao Paulo and they will be aware
:23:12. > :23:15.that now it is results that count and should they lose here, then they
:23:16. > :23:21.could be knocked out of the World Cup as early as Friday, would you
:23:22. > :23:25.believe. So there will be tension and anxiety if they win of course
:23:26. > :23:30.they will put themselves on target to qualify and a draw will probably
:23:31. > :23:33.be enough should they beat Costa Rica. It is a sign of their
:23:34. > :23:38.confidence that they're bound to keep the same team. They may tweak
:23:39. > :23:43.it and move Wayne Rooney to his favoured position in the centre. But
:23:44. > :23:46.in Liverpool's Suarez, they face an opponent who should be feared
:23:47. > :23:51.whether he is coming back from injury or not. He is the Premier
:23:52. > :23:53.League's pantomime villain, imagine if he helped knock England out?
:23:54. > :24:06.Thank you. The golfer Rory McIlroy has chosen
:24:07. > :24:09.to represent Ireland at the 2016 Rio Olympics and not Great Britain.
:24:10. > :24:11.McIlroy is from Northern Ireland and had the option of playing
:24:12. > :24:14.for either country. But the two-time major champion says
:24:15. > :24:17.that playing for Ireland as a boy influenced his decision.
:24:18. > :24:19.He also says he considered missing the games altogether because he
:24:20. > :24:22.didn't want to offend anyone. The Duchess of Cambridge has visited
:24:23. > :24:25.the newly restored Bletchley Park - home to the Second World War

:24:28. > :24:30.Katherine's paternal grandmother and great aunt worked alongside

:24:58. > :25:02.while cycling with him on a tandem. Lizo Mzimba reports.
:25:03. > :25:08.Good evening. By this time tomorrow... He presented his first
:25:09. > :25:13.Newsnight a quarter of a century ago. Now Jeremy Paxman is stepping
:25:14. > :25:18.down. When he leaves the studio tonight it will mark the end of a
:25:19. > :25:22.chapter. The show will be saying goodbye to its best known presenter,
:25:23. > :25:27.the world of politics will be saying goodbye to one of the most
:25:28. > :25:34.influential interviewers. Did you threat on the Reiverest overrule.
:25:35. > :25:40.Did you threat on the overrule him. I have accounted for my decision.
:25:41. > :25:44.Did you threat on the overrule him. Perhaps his most famous exchange
:25:45. > :25:50.with the then Home Secretary Michael Howard. Many others faced a Jeremy
:25:51. > :25:55.Paxman interrogation. How do you propose to use your time. #i789 ills
:25:56. > :25:59.another occasion you don't want to talk to somebody who doesn't agree
:26:00. > :26:06.with you. You don't pray together? No. Why do you smile? Because... Why
:26:07. > :26:11.do you ask me the question. I'm trying to finds out how you feel
:26:12. > :26:18.about it. I mean... Possibly. The view of Tony Blair's director of
:26:19. > :26:23.communications. You knew if Jeremy Paxman was doing the programme you
:26:24. > :26:28.needed to put more work into it. A minister who went into an veer
:26:29. > :26:33.without having thought through what could go wrong I think you could
:26:34. > :26:40.ends up in trouble. Even Newsnight's weather forecast got the Paxman
:26:41. > :26:45.treatment. Here it is, Sean of the usual nonsense about wearing woolly
:26:46. > :26:47.socks. And the second Newsnight weather forecast. Take an umbrella
:26:48. > :26:51.with you tomorrow. This is weather forecast. Take an umbrella
:26:52. > :26:57.idea. I have done war zones that are easier than this. Tonight we? Will
:26:58. > :27:06.see him riding off into the sun set. Good night. Time for the weather
:27:07. > :27:11.now. It has been a lovely day in northern parts, up into the mid to
:27:12. > :27:18.high 20s. 27 degrees in the Perth area. Up o' into the mid 20s.
:27:19. > :27:22.Tomorrow we will lose the heat and temperatures down by a few degrees,
:27:23. > :27:28.but still warm. The cooler air coming in behind a cold front. There
:27:29. > :27:34.won't be much weather on it, but it will introduce some fresher air and
:27:35. > :27:38.the odd spot of rain down the east. But basically a dry night and
:27:39. > :27:42.temperatures holding up well. That front could give the odd spot of
:27:43. > :27:46.rain in the east of England. But otherwise a lot of dry weather. The
:27:47. > :27:52.skies should brighten and you should see some sunshine. The odd shower
:27:53. > :27:56.possible close to the south coast. That breeze will introduce cooler
:27:57. > :28:02.air and temperatures will be lower in northern and central parts. Still
:28:03. > :28:05.comfortable enough in the high teens. Further south it will be
:28:06. > :28:12.warmer than today. Particularly south of the M4, where we could get
:28:13. > :28:17.into the mid 20s and possibly up to 27 degrees in Somerset, Dorset and
:28:18. > :28:21.Wiltshire and Hampshire. Of course we have the racing at Ascot.
:28:22. > :28:27.Tomorrow night all eyes on the big match in Brazil. We have a cold
:28:28. > :28:30.front moving in and it will be cool. Temperatures around 14 degrees for
:28:31. > :28:36.the England players. It should suit them. And it is lore than it will be
:28:37. > :28:41.back home tomorrow. On Friday, still coolish in the far north. But
:28:42. > :28:46.otherwise a pleasant day. Plenty of dry and bright weather. The warmest
:28:47. > :28:49.warm in the south and west. A lot of dry weather this weekend and some
:28:50. > :28:50.sunshine. The highest temperatures in the
