:00:00. > :00:08.The battle against so-called Islamic State:

:00:09. > :00:12.Iraqi forces enter Mosul - the extremists' stronghold.

:00:13. > :00:14.They are within the city limits for the first time

:00:15. > :00:17.since they were driven out two years ago.

:00:18. > :00:27.The troops have now entered the outskirts of Mosul.

:00:28. > :00:31.As you can probably hear, and we are going to hear more

:00:32. > :00:33.of it and see more of it, the resistance has just

:00:34. > :00:37.We'll be hearing from civilians trapped inside the city.

:00:38. > :00:40.Ready to hit back - the new Government strategy to deal

:00:41. > :00:44.Tough times - we hear from one of the thousands

:00:45. > :00:48.of families preparing for the new cap to benefits.

:00:49. > :00:50.A week to go before the US presidential elections -

:00:51. > :01:02.And the pioneering women who worked in television when the industry

:01:03. > :01:10.And coming up in the sport on BBC News, Pep Guardiola

:01:11. > :01:12.will try to avenge Manchester City's 4-0 defeat against his

:01:13. > :01:35.old club Barcelona in the Champions League tonight.

:01:36. > :01:38.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at 6.

:01:39. > :01:46.Two years after the humiliation of being driven out by so-called

:01:47. > :01:48.Islamic State, the first Iraqi forces have re-entered Mosul.

:01:49. > :01:50.Tonight they are within the city limits.

:01:51. > :01:52.The assault, now in its third week, involves hundreds of troops

:01:53. > :01:56.in heavily-armoured vehicles, together with tanks and bulldozers.

:01:57. > :01:58.More than a million civilians are thought to be

:01:59. > :02:04.A team of Iraqi special forces have retaken control

:02:05. > :02:09.Our correspondent Ian Pannell and cameraman Darren Conway

:02:10. > :02:14.are the first Western broadcast team to enter the city.

:02:15. > :02:23.They have sent this report from the Mosul suburb of Gowagjali.

:02:24. > :02:28.Once again, Iraqi forces left their bases before dawn,

:02:29. > :02:30.it seems they're determined to keep the momentum up

:02:31. > :02:36.They've now cleared all remaining towns and villages that

:02:37. > :02:39.stands between the writ of the Iraqi Government and the writ

:02:40. > :02:49.Once again we're rumbling, clattering across the desert

:02:50. > :02:51.in these weirdly robotic-like Humvees with a turret

:02:52. > :02:52.swivelling left and right, looking for possible

:02:53. > :02:57.There's been a RPG, a rocket propelled grenade has exploded

:02:58. > :03:00.overhead and there's been a little bit of gunfire going across.

:03:01. > :03:04.We don't know exactly what the plan is, but judging

:03:05. > :03:11.by a look at the map, it seems that we are once again

:03:12. > :03:13.trying to do a flanking manoeuvre, in other words going

:03:14. > :03:18.round and pushing ever and ever closer towards the city of Mosul.

:03:19. > :03:22.The troops have now entered the outskirts of Mosul.

:03:23. > :03:28.As you can probably hear, and we will hear more of this

:03:29. > :03:30.and see more of it, the resistance has just

:03:31. > :03:34.I think it's fair to say they had much more momentum than anybody

:03:35. > :03:37.expected up until this point, and right now they're coming under

:03:38. > :03:38.attack from a number of different directions,

:03:39. > :03:46.And just spare a thought for the million or so civilians

:03:47. > :03:50.who still live in this town, and the tens of thousands

:03:51. > :03:52.who are thought to have been brought as human shields, as hostages,

:03:53. > :03:55.by Islamic State when they withdrew from other cities.

:03:56. > :03:57.Many now hunkered down in their homes, terrified, listening

:03:58. > :04:11.That was Ian Pannell on the Iraqi front line with the troops.

:04:12. > :04:13.It's almost impossible to talk to people trapped inside Mosul.

:04:14. > :04:16.Islamic State militants have banned satellite dishes and mobile phones.

:04:17. > :04:18.But some are managing to communicate with the outside world.

:04:19. > :04:23.Orla Guerin reports from a radio station in Northern Iraq.

:04:24. > :04:32.A snapshot of Mosul; silent, besieged, braced for the assault.

:04:33. > :04:35.See how IS have hidden an anti-aircraft gun under a bridge.

:04:36. > :04:37.A resistance group, called the Mosul Brigades, secretly

:04:38. > :04:45.Others are resisting by daring to speak.

:04:46. > :04:47.The airwaves of Alghad radio station, meaning tomorrow, are open

:04:48. > :04:55.We can't say where it's located or identify the staff,

:04:56. > :05:02.they've received death threats from the jihadis.

:05:03. > :05:04.We join the presenter in studio as listeners phone

:05:05. > :05:44.Callers say they are in danger not just from IS, but also from air

:05:45. > :06:02.Off-air, another caller told us that many in the city were waiting

:06:03. > :06:06.for a chance to take revenge on the jihadis.

:06:07. > :06:09.He said life was unbearable and he had to speak out,

:06:10. > :06:13.And, God forbid, if they discovered you making this call,

:06:14. > :06:29.The station says these days it's getting more calls from Mosul,

:06:30. > :06:31.a sign that the captive city is recovering its voice.

:06:32. > :06:39.Orla Guerin, BBC News, Northern Iraq.

:06:40. > :06:44.Our correspondent Orla Guerin joins us from northern Iraq.

:06:45. > :06:49.We have just been hearing to the voices of those desperate people.

:06:50. > :06:57.What is the latest on the offensive to liberate them? I think this is a

:06:58. > :07:00.hugely significant day for Iraq and also the people of Mosul, who have

:07:01. > :07:05.been waiting for this moment for two and a half years. We saw in Ian's

:07:06. > :07:09.report that Iraqi counterterrorism forces have pushed into the city.

:07:10. > :07:13.They entered into the eastern suburb, pushed in from the

:07:14. > :07:20.outskirts, took the TV station, they met fierce resistance. They came

:07:21. > :07:25.under sniper fire but also under fire from laser guided anti-tank

:07:26. > :07:29.missiles. They have had direct construction walls, concrete walls

:07:30. > :07:32.around the advancing troops, to try to prevent vehicle borne suicide

:07:33. > :07:36.bombers which have been such a feature here over the last two

:07:37. > :07:40.weeks. We have been told fighting has now stopped for the night

:07:41. > :07:44.because darkness has fallen, but also because a sandstorm has come

:07:45. > :07:50.up. Iraqi generals are describing this as the beginning of the true

:07:51. > :07:53.liberation of Mosul. I think the key phrase is key beginning. The deeper

:07:54. > :07:58.they penetrate into the city, the more resistance they will face,

:07:59. > :08:02.particularly on the west side, where they will be able to use armoured

:08:03. > :08:05.vehicles, that will be street to street and house-to-house and nobody

:08:06. > :08:07.expects that to finish in weeks, it will probably be a matter of months.

:08:08. > :08:09.Thank you. Britain faces a growing

:08:10. > :08:11.threat of cyber attack organised by hostile states,

:08:12. > :08:15.criminal gangs or hackers. Today, the Chancellor has announced

:08:16. > :08:17.plans to improve cyber security. Philip Hammond said Britain needed

:08:18. > :08:20.the capacity to 'strike back' Our Technology Correspondent Rory

:08:21. > :08:27.Cellan-Jones has the details. We know our computers are under

:08:28. > :08:31.threat, we're getting used to the idea that our phones

:08:32. > :08:33.might not be secure, but surely we don't have to worry

:08:34. > :08:37.that the kettle could be hacked... Yes, actually, Internet connected

:08:38. > :08:40.devices, now in many homes, are providing

:08:41. > :08:45.new opportunities for hackers. It punches a hole

:08:46. > :08:46.through your firewall... This brand of home CCTV setup

:08:47. > :08:49.was hijacked in a recent major These things are so insecure they're

:08:50. > :08:57.starting to be turned against us. They're starting to be used

:08:58. > :09:00.to attack parts of the Internet, to take down critical

:09:01. > :09:03.infrastructures. It's that kind of threat the UK

:09:04. > :09:06.now wants to confront. The Government's new cyber security

:09:07. > :09:09.strategy includes more money for law enforcement efforts

:09:10. > :09:13.to combat cyber crime, automated systems to stop spam

:09:14. > :09:17.and malicious software, and a promise to strike back

:09:18. > :09:19.against state-sponsored attacks from countries

:09:20. > :09:25.like Russia and China. By having the ability to strike back

:09:26. > :09:29.in kind, in cyberspace, to let the hackers and attackers

:09:30. > :09:35.know that if they take down our networks, they risk

:09:36. > :09:37.having their networks taken down, we will make Britain safer

:09:38. > :09:40.and we will make it an even more attractive place for people

:09:41. > :09:44.to do digital business. However much we spend on shoring

:09:45. > :09:46.up Britain's defences against the hackers,

:09:47. > :09:48.we're going to need a lot more people with cyber security skills,

:09:49. > :09:51.and right now there's a shortage What we're basically looking

:09:52. > :09:57.at is we're for suspicious activity At BT's headquarters,

:09:58. > :10:01.cyber security apprentices are hearing about the company's

:10:02. > :10:05.own security tools. The Government wants more young

:10:06. > :10:07.people to see this There's a different attack every

:10:08. > :10:13.day, a different threat every day and it's always keeping

:10:14. > :10:15.you on your toes and you're It's going to be very important

:10:16. > :10:20.pretty much forever, From MI5, whose boss today accused

:10:21. > :10:26.Russia of mounting cyber attacks, to the police officers

:10:27. > :10:28.hunting for young hackers, Britain is trying to show it means

:10:29. > :10:32.business, but keeping up with the fast changing world

:10:33. > :10:35.of cyber crime will be a challenge. Campaigners say "the gloves are now

:10:36. > :10:43.off" in their fight for an inquiry into the clashes at Orgreave

:10:44. > :10:45.in South Yorkshire during The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd,

:10:46. > :10:51.surprised many yesterday by ruling out an inquiry into the violence

:10:52. > :10:54.between pickets and police. The Orgreave Truth and

:10:55. > :10:56.Justice Campaign says it's Further consultations are to be held

:10:57. > :11:04.by the Government to decide whether the second part

:11:05. > :11:06.of the Leveson Inquiry Culture Secretary Karen Bradley told

:11:07. > :11:11.MPs that the government needed to consider if part two

:11:12. > :11:13.of the inquiry, which started after the phone hacking scandal,

:11:14. > :11:16.was in the public interest or not. But campaigners say today's

:11:17. > :11:18.announcement was a betrayal There are warnings of an increase

:11:19. > :11:29.in evictions and homelessness as tens of thousands of households

:11:30. > :11:33.are hit by a new cap on benefits The cap reduces the amount of money

:11:34. > :11:43.a household can receive from ?26,000 a year to ?23,000 in London

:11:44. > :11:46.and ?20,000 outside the capital. Ministers say the new cap ensures

:11:47. > :11:49.that households on benefits will not be better than the average

:11:50. > :11:51.family in work. Here's our home editor,

:11:52. > :11:56.Mark Easton. Could single mum Emma

:11:57. > :11:58.and her family face eviction Unless she works at least 16-hours

:11:59. > :12:07.a week, her benefits will soon be capped,

:12:08. > :12:10.leaving her ?76 a week short on the rent, but Emma

:12:11. > :12:13.says with four kids, including a young baby to care for,

:12:14. > :12:16.getting a job is not an option I lose my kids because I haven't

:12:17. > :12:23.been able to pay my rent. Yeah, I am really worried

:12:24. > :12:25.because if they've got no roof over their heads,

:12:26. > :12:27.then they really... It's not like they can sleep

:12:28. > :12:38.with them on the streets with me. Sleep on the streets,

:12:39. > :12:42.is this something that really The Government is desperate

:12:43. > :12:49.to reduce the housing benefit bill which has ballooned to ?27 billion

:12:50. > :12:53.a year as housing costs have risen, but ministers are being warned that

:12:54. > :12:56.when they reduce the overall household benefit cap next week,

:12:57. > :12:59.more than 100,000 families, including 300,000 children, could

:13:00. > :13:06.then struggle to pay their rent. You can't run up arrears

:13:07. > :13:08.indefinitely without your landlord, in the end, having to take measures

:13:09. > :13:12.to evict you and to take possession At that point you're a homeless

:13:13. > :13:16.household and homelessness is rising Getting a job is what the Government

:13:17. > :13:22.insists the cap encourages people to do, pointing out that 23,000

:13:23. > :13:26.people, who lost money under the existing cap,

:13:27. > :13:29.are now exempt having found at least What's important to make sure

:13:30. > :13:36.is that we spend the money on welfare in the right way,

:13:37. > :13:39.in ways that incentivise people to move into work and cares

:13:40. > :13:42.for the most vulnerable, and this benefit cap

:13:43. > :13:50.absolutely does that. Outside London, the welfare cap

:13:51. > :13:52.equates to ?385 a week. Imagine the case of a widow,

:13:53. > :13:55.her widowed parents allowance So do the benefits she receives

:13:56. > :13:59.for the three children she's now bringing up on her own,

:14:00. > :14:01.which means there's only ?53.48 a week left within the cap for

:14:02. > :14:06.housing benefit to cover her rent. The family's modest three bed

:14:07. > :14:10.private flat in Coventry costs ?128, Coventry based Housing Association,

:14:11. > :14:17.Orbit, has found hundreds of people They're already making hard

:14:18. > :14:26.choices about eating, Capping benefits ia justified

:14:27. > :14:34.because it encourages The question is whether the lower

:14:35. > :14:38.cap is asking too much. Iraqi troops have entered the city

:14:39. > :14:50.of Mosul for the first time since they were driven out

:14:51. > :14:52.by so-called Islamic The pioneering women of television,

:14:53. > :15:01.80 years since broadcasting began. Louis Smith is suspended

:15:02. > :15:06.by British Gymnastics for two months after a video emerged

:15:07. > :15:08.of the four-time Olympic medallist When Britain leaves

:15:09. > :15:23.the European Union, its only land border with an EU state will be

:15:24. > :15:25.between Northern Ireland What sort of controls might there be

:15:26. > :15:31.and how will it affect trade? Tomorrow, the Irish Prime Minister,

:15:32. > :15:34.Enda Kenny, will host a forum to hear a wide range of views

:15:35. > :15:37.on Brexit from across the island. Our special correspondent,

:15:38. > :15:39.Allan Little, has sent To understand Ireland's Brexit

:15:40. > :15:47.anxiety, go to the farms of its rich They sell more than half

:15:48. > :15:53.of what they produce A falling pound has

:15:54. > :15:58.already made their milk Now, there's the prospect

:15:59. > :16:04.of a new border separating them Like, we have a huge market,

:16:05. > :16:17.50 miles from where we stand here now, and if we can't supply

:16:18. > :16:21.that market without tariffs, it's not good, like,

:16:22. > :16:24.it's very worrying talk or prospect. Once there were Customs controls

:16:25. > :16:26.between the UK and Ireland, but those border posts disappeared

:16:27. > :16:29.when both countries joined the European Community

:16:30. > :16:33.together in 1973. This is what that border

:16:34. > :16:36.crossing looks like now, you can drive down this road

:16:37. > :16:41.without even noticing that you've left one country

:16:42. > :16:43.and entered another, but soon this will be the edge

:16:44. > :16:51.of the European Union. Down there, migrants from 26 other

:16:52. > :16:54.countries will still be able to come and live

:16:55. > :16:56.and work and claim benefits, but not if they walk up there,

:16:57. > :16:59.into the United Kingdom. If you have no border controls here,

:17:00. > :17:02.how do you police that? Northern Ireland's biggest party,

:17:03. > :17:13.the Democratic Unionists, Their emphatic British unionism

:17:14. > :17:17.seems reinvigorated by their sense of having seized back

:17:18. > :17:22.a lost UK sovereignty. But they believe that the border

:17:23. > :17:25.can, with political With the political willingness

:17:26. > :17:31.from both the British and Irish governments privately

:17:32. > :17:34.that they would never see a return to borders of the past,

:17:35. > :17:36.we're actually quite But we're not ignoring the fact

:17:37. > :17:45.that there are issues that need to be worked through,

:17:46. > :17:47.but they are entirely surmountable, In the Republic they're not

:17:48. > :17:51.reassured by this sunny optimism. For one option is for Ireland to bow

:17:52. > :17:54.to the realities of geography and to allow the UK to place

:17:55. > :17:57.its Border and Customs controls You're asking for an independent

:17:58. > :18:03.state, the Republic of Ireland, to impose and work British migration

:18:04. > :18:07.law at its ports and airports. I mean, that's really

:18:08. > :18:13.what you're saying. Which you're kind of saying -

:18:14. > :18:16.well, we don't really think you're an independent country,

:18:17. > :18:18.it's just a kind of figment I think, as an Irish person,

:18:19. > :18:22.you feel pretty angry about the fact that something really profound has

:18:23. > :18:25.been done to Ireland without Ireland having featured at all

:18:26. > :18:29.in the discussion. Ireland has forged its modern

:18:30. > :18:31.identity as an independent nation in Europe, but the powerful

:18:32. > :18:33.gravitational pull of its larger Football's world governing body,

:18:34. > :18:49.Fifa, has turned down a request from the English

:18:50. > :18:51.and Scottish Football Associations to allow players to wear a poppy

:18:52. > :18:54.during their World Cup qualifier Fifa's current rules won't allow

:18:55. > :18:59.the poppies as it considers them Let's get the latest

:19:00. > :19:10.from our sports correspondent, Is this final or can the teams

:19:11. > :19:15.appeal? Well, talks between the FA and Fifa I'm told are ongoing. All

:19:16. > :19:19.parties will meet here on Thursday to discuss a range of matters and

:19:20. > :19:32.the poppy is expected to be discussed. I 22011 granted it to be

:19:33. > :19:35.worn on armband. That be ha turned. Fifa believe a pragmatic solution

:19:36. > :19:43.can be found to this in the days ahead. -- 2011. Richard, thank you.

:19:44. > :19:45.A week today, America will be electing a new president

:19:46. > :19:48.after what most people agree has been the most unconventional

:19:49. > :19:51.Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have been

:19:52. > :19:53.shuttling across the country, visiting key battleground states.

:19:54. > :19:54.As our North America editor Jon Sopel reports,

:19:55. > :19:58.the polls look much tighter than they have been for many weeks.

:19:59. > :20:05.All our presidents... Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton both launched

:20:06. > :20:12.their campaigns in June. June 2015 that is. They've been going at it

:20:13. > :20:15.nonstop ever since. Trump... Today Donald Trump was in Pennsylvania.

:20:16. > :20:19.Hillary Clinton is now on her way to Florida for a busy day's

:20:20. > :20:25.campaigning. Now, there's just one week to go. This is where the

:20:26. > :20:27.marathon turns into a sprint as the candidates hurtle around the key

:20:28. > :20:32.swing states that will determine this election. So what are the key

:20:33. > :20:36.swing states? They are Florida, North Carolina in the south and Ohio

:20:37. > :20:41.and Pennsylvania in the industrial north. For Donald Trump to have a

:20:42. > :20:47.path to victory he needs to win all four. But successive polls suggest

:20:48. > :20:52.Hillary Clinton has come foshl leads in North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

:20:53. > :20:57.That is why, in the battle to get the keys for this place, the FBI

:20:58. > :21:01.intervention may have given Donald Trump momentum, it hasn't

:21:02. > :21:05.decriesively shifted the race. Hillary Clinton is still winning

:21:06. > :21:09.where she needs to. I was calling to see if we still have your support

:21:10. > :21:13.for Hillary Clinton Hillary Clinton? Leaving polls to one side, you need

:21:14. > :21:16.a ground game. Here too in conventional terms Hillary Clinton

:21:17. > :21:21.is better placed. This is her team working in another swing state,

:21:22. > :21:25.Nevada. She has far more staff, far more offices, even more money.

:21:26. > :21:30.Remember this, though Donald Trump may not have the infrastructure that

:21:31. > :21:35.didn't seem to matter in the race to become the Republican nominee when

:25:37. > :25:42.Here's Tomasz Schafernaker. Yesterday was a beautiful day, it

:25:43. > :25:48.was nice and warm. Today, the temperatures have plummeted. We had

:25:49. > :25:55.lovely weather. Here is a nice picture from Cumbria. It's from

:25:56. > :25:59.Moonmist. Calm winds, lovely picture again from Cumbria. Turning colder.

:26:00. > :26:02.Today autumn has been knocking on the door. By the end of the night it

:26:03. > :26:06.will be banging on the door. We have chilly weather on the way. Nothing

:26:07. > :26:10.too extreme, nothing too wintry, but we are going to feel that wind as it

:26:11. > :26:15.swings in from the north over the next few days. As far as this

:26:16. > :26:18.evening is concerned, the skies are clearing, the temperatures are

:26:19. > :26:21.dropping, there will be lots of frost around, particularly outside

:26:22. > :26:25.of city centres tomorrow morning. Look at the temperatures in rural

:26:26. > :26:30.areas, down to freezing even as far south as southern Britain. In the

:26:31. > :26:34.bigger towns and cities it won't fall below zero, it won't be far

:26:35. > :26:38.off, two, three, four degrees, those values. With a crisp start to the

:26:39. > :26:41.day we will get sunshine. Actually, not looking too bad with that high

:26:42. > :26:45.pressure in charge. The eastern coast there a little bit more

:26:46. > :26:50.breezy. There might be one or two showers to northern and northern

:26:51. > :26:54.eastern Scotland and East Anglia. Overall a fine day, nice sunshine

:26:55. > :26:58.there. Thursday dawns on a cold, crispy note as well. Particularly

:26:59. > :27:03.across England and Wales. Look at that. Rather than high pressure we

:27:04. > :27:07.get a low pressure coming in which will introduce cloud and rain.

:27:08. > :27:11.Rather than crisp, cold, dry, it will be damp colder air with the

:27:12. > :27:17.breeze off the Atlantic. Look what happens with this low. When a low

:27:18. > :27:20.shifts towards the east we get the floodgates, the colder air will come

:27:21. > :27:24.in from the north. That is what is heading our way this weekend. It is

:27:25. > :27:28.not necessarily the temperatures will be low, you will feel that

:27:29. > :27:36.wind-chill. Autumn is definitely here. Back to you. Thank you. . More

:27:46. > :27:49.Our correspondent has sent this updated report from the front-line

:27:50. > :27:53.in the fight against so-called Islamic State. This is the moment

:27:54. > :27:58.the troops entered the outskirts of Mosul. It's hard to exaggerate how

:27:59. > :28:04.dangerous this day was. Islamic State fighters barely seem to care

:28:05. > :28:08.that the troops are advancing. That doesn't mean they are not prepared

:28:09. > :28:16.to defend the city, nor fight to the death.

:28:17. > :28:23.Forces have been moving through Mosul, the outskirts only, for the

:28:24. > :28:30.last few hours. They are meeting stiff resistance. We have seen Isis

:28:31. > :28:32.fighters moving around, carrying rocket-propelled grenades. There

:28:33. > :28:47.have been in coming attacks. GUNFIRE. And a lot of gunfire. The

:28:52. > :28:56.how hard and difficult this final stage of the battle will be. This is
