:00:00. > :00:14.Hello. This is BBC World News. Heavy fighting continues in Iraq between
:00:15. > :00:18.Government forces and Sunni militants, but the Government says
:00:19. > :00:23.there is no danger of the country splitting up. Iraq will remain
:00:24. > :00:29.united and it will overcome these terrorists. These terrorists are
:00:30. > :00:31.rejected by the Sunni community, by Sunni leaders and they will be
:00:32. > :00:36.defeated. At least ten people are killed in a
:00:37. > :00:40.new Islamist terror attack in Kenya after Sunday's raid on a coastal
:00:41. > :00:45.town. A British satellite company says
:00:46. > :00:49.investigators looking for the missing Malaysian airliner have to
:00:50. > :00:53.search in the hotspot of the Indian Ocean.
:00:54. > :00:58.World Cup day five was full of surprises a sending off and the
:00:59. > :01:00.tournament's first stalemate. We will have the highlights from
:01:01. > :01:21.Brazil. Hello. Welcome. Iraqi Government
:01:22. > :01:25.forces are continuing to engage in heavy clashes with Sunni Islamist
:01:26. > :01:30.militants. Already in control of a number of key cities in the country
:01:31. > :01:34.including the towns of Mosul and Fallujah, ISIS militants are
:01:35. > :01:41.reported to be less than an hour's drive from the capital, Baghdad.
:01:42. > :01:48.They are now around the town of Baquba. With the group encroaching
:01:49. > :01:52.on the capital, Posh says he is - President Obama says he is sending
:01:53. > :01:55.300 troops to protect the American Embassy and its staff in Baghdad.
:01:56. > :02:11.The British Government set out plans to re-open its embassy in Iran.
:02:12. > :02:14.Earlier I spoke to a spokesman for the Government.
:02:15. > :02:18.These people have been able to get a grip because they are supported by
:02:19. > :02:24.former Saddam militants. They are the same people who terrorised Iraq
:02:25. > :02:29.for 30 years. And getting back and supporting and arms from regional
:02:30. > :02:35.countries with the West turning a blind eye and leaving them a vacuum
:02:36. > :02:42.in Syria to work from, they have been able to take over these areas,
:02:43. > :02:46.but also they have been working on this secretly for sometime,
:02:47. > :02:51.undermining Army generals in that area who are former Saddam Army
:02:52. > :02:57.generals, but were brought back into the army under the plan of
:02:58. > :03:03.reconciliation and affecting corrupt leaders, mostly Sunni leaders of
:03:04. > :03:08.that area as well in order to give instructions to the Iraqi army in
:03:09. > :03:14.that area to disband so there was no fight. They were able to come in,
:03:15. > :03:19.but they also, these Ba'thist militants used ISIS and these
:03:20. > :03:23.terrorists as a front. So you know, the collapse of the Iraqi Army was
:03:24. > :03:28.something that was planned for, but this will not be repeated anywhere
:03:29. > :03:33.else and we will be able to reclaim our country and get rid of these
:03:34. > :03:37.terrorists. I'm interested to get your views on what the Kurdish Prime
:03:38. > :03:45.Minister has been saying to Jim Muir. He is saying the Sunnis felt
:03:46. > :03:51.undermined by the Government and perhaps the best solution would be
:03:52. > :03:56.like a Kurdish autonomous, a Sunni autonomous Government. He doesn't
:03:57. > :04:01.think that Iraq post Mosul will be the same again? That's rejected by
:04:02. > :04:03.all Iraqis. Firstly, the Sunni community had a lot of
:04:04. > :04:06.representation in the Government. The head of Parliament is a Sunny.
:04:07. > :04:12.The Deputy Prime Minister is a Sunni. The heads of Army are Sunnis.
:04:13. > :04:16.The ministers, there are over ten ministers in the Government who are
:04:17. > :04:21.Sunnis. They have had their representation. If there are
:04:22. > :04:26.grievances then we have a democratic Parliament and system that they can
:04:27. > :04:32.air their grievances. That is not an excuse to take any armed struggle.
:04:33. > :04:38.In fact, they are not taking any arms struggle, it is these
:04:39. > :04:45.terrorists who have used this as a excuse to come in, backed as I say,
:04:46. > :04:49.by the militants, Saddamists. Can Iraq stay together? Yes, Iraq can
:04:50. > :04:55.stay together and it will stay together because all Iraqis voted on
:04:56. > :04:59.a constitution of a united Iraq. And Iraq will remain united and it will
:05:00. > :05:04.overcome these terrorists. These terrorists are rejected by the Sunni
:05:05. > :05:11.community, by Sunni leaders and they will be defeated.
:05:12. > :05:17.Let's move on. We're going to leave events in Iraq. We have more to
:05:18. > :05:20.bring you. We're waiting for the British Foreign Secretary, William
:05:21. > :05:25.Hague, to make a statement to Parliament about Britain reopening
:05:26. > :05:31.its embassy in Tehran in Iran. He is on his feet. He is speaking very
:05:32. > :05:35.shortly about the situation about the British wanting to re-open the
:05:36. > :05:49.embassy in Tehran. As soon as that happens in the House of Commons, we
:05:50. > :05:58.will bring that to you. It is over 100 days since the
:05:59. > :06:05.Malaysian Airlines plane went missing. The wreckage of Flight
:06:06. > :06:15.MH370 lies south-west of the area that has been the focus. Pal
:06:16. > :06:24.Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 set off for Beijing. On board were 239
:06:25. > :06:28.passengers and crew. 40 minutes into the flight, air traffic controllers
:06:29. > :06:34.lost radio contact with the crew and lost track of the plane on their
:06:35. > :06:37.radar. But hourly electronic connections between the jet and a
:06:38. > :06:43.communications satellite showed that the plane continued to fly for
:06:44. > :06:47.several hours. The data, from the company that own the satellite,
:06:48. > :06:53.suggested that the plane had come down in the southern Indian Ocean.
:06:54. > :06:59.An Australian naval vessel was sent to investigate the region West of
:07:00. > :07:02.Perth, but the vessel never got to the most probable area because it
:07:03. > :07:06.picked up signals some distance away, but the search team thought
:07:07. > :07:13.was coming from the jet's flight recorders. But the lead turned out
:07:14. > :07:18.to be a dead end. It was by no means an unrealistic location, but it was
:07:19. > :07:23.further to the north-east than our area of highest probability.
:07:24. > :07:28.Australian authorities leading the hunt are making a detailed under sea
:07:29. > :07:31.map of the new search area. This is likely to take several months, but
:07:32. > :07:35.once they know the precise shape of the seabed, they can choose the
:07:36. > :07:41.vessel's best suited to continue the underwater sweep.
:07:42. > :07:47.For those of you watching in the UK, you can see the full story on
:07:48. > :07:52.Horizon. The programme is on BBC Two at 9pm this evening and it will also
:07:53. > :08:00.be on the BBCi player after that. The programme is called Where is
:08:01. > :08:06.Flight MH370? Let's go to events in Kenya.
:08:07. > :08:10.The Somali Islamist group, Al-Shabab, has staged another attack
:08:11. > :08:12.on Kenya's coast killing at least ten people. Al-Shabab says those
:08:13. > :08:16.killed include police officers and wildlife wardens. The gunmen
:08:17. > :08:20.targeted villages in the Poromoko area close to the town of Mpeketoni
:08:21. > :08:24.where 48 people were killed on Sunday night. Al-Shabab claims the
:08:25. > :08:28.attacks are in response to the presence of Kenyan troops in
:08:29. > :08:34.Somalia, and the harassment of Muslims in Kenya.
:08:35. > :08:45.Our correspondent is in Nairobi, I asked him for the latest? A while
:08:46. > :08:49.ago there was an announcement saying 15 people are reported dead. Most of
:08:50. > :08:56.them from the forest and the nearby bushes. This is coming at a time
:08:57. > :09:00.when people are outraged, especially on social media about the attacks
:09:01. > :09:04.there and insecurity in general saying that the Government and all
:09:05. > :09:08.the top security agencies keep promising Kenyans of security, but
:09:09. > :09:14.they are slow to act and very quick to react.
:09:15. > :09:20.Al-Shabab claiming responsibility as we have acknowledged, but do we know
:09:21. > :09:25.why? In revenge for earlier attacks. Have they said why exactly? In the
:09:26. > :09:30.last couple of hours, there has been a twist to this theory as to whether
:09:31. > :09:33.it is Al-Shabab responsible despite the fact that they have claimed
:09:34. > :09:36.responsibility for the two attacks and the Government is saying that
:09:37. > :09:40.this issue is all about politics. They're saying that in that
:09:41. > :09:45.particular area, there have been an issue of resources and land with a
:09:46. > :09:48.tribe there being accused that they have taken over land and that the
:09:49. > :09:53.people originally acquired the land saying that the land belongs to
:09:54. > :09:57.them. So there are political under tones from the Government and they
:09:58. > :10:06.are not coming out very clear on who is behind this. But althat Shah bab
:10:07. > :10:16.-- but Al-Shabab have claimed responsibility. It appears to be a
:10:17. > :10:21.separate idea that the Government know who is is behind this. And
:10:22. > :10:25.there is an argument that Al-Shabab are taking advantage of the social
:10:26. > :10:31.political gap in the area. William Hague is about to announce
:10:32. > :10:43.that Britain intends to re-open its embassy in Tehran. Let's speak to my
:10:44. > :10:48.colleague from BBC Persian. He is in Vienna because that's where talks
:10:49. > :10:51.are happening, but I'm guessing the situation in Iraq and the reopening
:10:52. > :11:06.of the embassy are being talked about as well?
:11:07. > :11:09.PROBLEM WITH SOUND Unfortunately we don't have our
:11:10. > :11:14.correspondent there. We had the line, but we didn't have the sound.
:11:15. > :11:19.So we will try and re-establish the line to Vienna and speak to our
:11:20. > :11:20.correspondent for his views. Let's round-up some of the other
:11:21. > :11:25.main stories. Muslims in Kenya.
:11:26. > :11:28.The French president, Francois Hollande, has condemned a savage
:11:29. > :11:30.attack on a Roma teenager in Paris suburb. The 16-year-old boy is in a
:11:31. > :11:34.critical condition after he was beaten by a mob who suspected him of
:11:35. > :11:42.being behind a burglary. The president said it was "unspeakable
:11:43. > :11:45.and unjustifiable". Crew members of the South Korean
:11:46. > :11:49.ferry that sank in April with the loss of 300 lives have argued it was
:11:50. > :11:52.up to the Coast Guard to rescue the passengers. The fifteen surviving
:11:53. > :11:55.crew of the Sewol are on trial for charges ranging from negligence to
:11:56. > :11:56.homicide after abandoning the ship with most of the passengers still on
:11:57. > :12:06.board. At least 20 people have been killed
:12:07. > :12:10.and 10 injured in a bus crash in Venezuela. The bus was travelling
:12:11. > :12:15.from the central western city of Barquisimeto. It was 35 kilometres
:12:16. > :12:19.from the capital Caracas when the driver lost control. The bus hit the
:12:20. > :12:26.central road barrier and then a tree.
:12:27. > :12:51.Still to come: 50 asylum seekers who died in a shipwreck off Christmas
:12:52. > :12:54.Island four years ago. Their relatives are suing the Australian
:12:55. > :12:56.Government. We will find out why. There have been more angry scenes at
:12:57. > :12:59.the trial of crew members from the South Korean ferry that sank in
:13:00. > :13:03.April. Some of the accused could face the death penalty in convicted.
:13:04. > :13:06.Their names are fodder from front pages. Their deeds the subject of
:13:07. > :13:12.national debate. Some still hid their faces. The 15 crew members
:13:13. > :13:18.arrived for this preliminary hearing in handcuffs and prison overalls.
:13:19. > :13:21.Through a separate door, the families of those rescuers never
:13:22. > :13:27.reached. This couple lost their younger daughter in the Dayser. Her
:13:28. > :13:34.-- disaster. Her mother told me she held the crew responsible. "They
:13:35. > :13:41.should go the same death my child suffered. They should be drowned."
:13:42. > :13:46.She said. Deadened, anxious faces, parents who
:13:47. > :13:50.feel these 15 survivors must have caused their loss. The story of what
:13:51. > :13:56.happened is only just beginning. Lawyers have tabled over 1900 pieces
:13:57. > :14:01.of evidence so far. Today, the final four defendants heard their
:14:02. > :14:06.indictments before the hearings start next month.
:14:07. > :14:10.Inside this courtroom, family members cursed and shouted as
:14:11. > :14:13.defence lawyers said no rescuers, no matter how thorough could have saved
:14:14. > :14:18.everyone on board. Even the appearance of the crew was enough to
:14:19. > :14:22.upset some relatives, why are they allowed to sit comfortably on
:14:23. > :14:27.chairs, one shouted, they should be made to kneel? This case is likely
:14:28. > :14:31.to take many months and with even the president judging the crew's
:14:32. > :14:33.actions as tantamount to murder, there are concerns over whether they
:14:34. > :14:50.will get a fair trial. This is BBC World News.
:14:51. > :14:53.The headlines: Heavy fighting continues in Iraq
:14:54. > :15:00.between Government forces and ISIS militants. The latest battles are 60
:15:01. > :15:03.kilometres from Baghdad. Iraq's biggest oil refinery has been
:15:04. > :15:06.shutdown and its foreign staff evacuated.
:15:07. > :15:10.Ten people are killed in a new Islamist terror attack in Kenya
:15:11. > :15:25.after Sunday's raid on a coastal town. Let's return to developments
:15:26. > :15:31.concerning William Hague who is about to announce Britain is about
:15:32. > :15:36.to reopen its embassy in Tehran. He will be speaking in the House of
:15:37. > :15:45.Commons. But our correspondence is in Vienna. He is in Vienna because
:15:46. > :15:49.in Iran the Western powers are talking about the nuclear programme.
:15:50. > :15:57.They must be talking about everything that is happening in
:15:58. > :16:02.Iraq? In this building behind me Iran is sitting down with six world
:16:03. > :16:07.powers to talk about its nuclear problem and crisis. But the
:16:08. > :16:16.questions in Iraq is overshadowing these talks. How Iran can help solve
:16:17. > :16:24.this problem or reduce the extent of this crisis is an issue. It was only
:16:25. > :16:30.yesterday Iran had direct talks in Vienna with the United States and on
:16:31. > :16:41.the sidelines of that, they talked about Iraq. Today we see the new
:16:42. > :16:43.developments in the relations between Iran and Britain. It was
:16:44. > :16:46.only yesterday the UK Foreign Secretary, William Hague, talked on
:16:47. > :16:53.the phone to Iran's Foreign Minister about the Iraqi issue. Now, we see
:16:54. > :17:01.it looks like the problem in Iraq, the crisis has given new impetus to
:17:02. > :17:07.efforts to improve bilateral relations within Iran and the UK. It
:17:08. > :17:11.looks as though events in Iraq has spared those diplomatic efforts
:17:12. > :17:15.along. Thanks for your analysis. The families of a group of Iraqi
:17:16. > :17:19.and Iranian asylum seekers who drowned trying to reach Australia
:17:20. > :17:22.are suing the Government for what 50 people died in 2010
:17:23. > :17:29.when their flimsy boat crashed into rocks off the remote Australian
:17:30. > :17:32.outpost of Christmas Island. An eight-month coroner's inquiry
:17:33. > :17:34.into the disaster blamed people But the coroner also criticised the
:17:35. > :17:39.government for not having adequate The lawyer representing the families
:17:40. > :17:44.says the Australian government Well they will be arguing that on
:17:45. > :17:52.the evening in question the government knew that there were boat
:17:53. > :17:56.arrivals coming to Christmas Island in the midst of a storm and that
:17:57. > :18:00.there were vulnerable men, women and children on the high seas in danger
:18:01. > :18:03.and that the government did not have an operating, sea-worthy rescue
:18:04. > :18:07.service on Christmas Island and Australia's Immigration Minister
:18:08. > :18:17.Scott Morrison was highly critical of
:18:18. > :18:29.the decision to take legal action. I think this is a shameful and
:18:30. > :18:35.offensive claim to be making. People have the right to bring cases to
:18:36. > :18:40.court, we are a free country but they have to be accountable for the
:18:41. > :18:46.claims they bring. The men and women who served that day showed a level
:18:47. > :18:52.of drapery, sacrifice that we have seen only on rare occasions. --
:18:53. > :18:56.bravery. The response from the people on Christmas Ireland and all
:18:57. > :19:05.ex-dash-macro Australians was extraordinary. This claim just
:19:06. > :19:12.beggars belief. One person has died and others have been injured in a
:19:13. > :19:16.tornado in Nebraska. Wendy Urquhart has the details. I
:19:17. > :19:24.think we have lost that package. We have got a little gremlin in the
:19:25. > :19:27.system, my apologies. We will talk about what is happening with the
:19:28. > :19:35.World Cup next. But four Englishmen decided to
:19:36. > :19:38.get there from Argentina on foot. They walked 1966 kilometres -
:19:39. > :19:41.significant because it was in 1966 Here's the story
:19:42. > :19:58.of their incredible journey. My name is Adam Burns and I am from
:19:59. > :20:03.Suffolk. We are for friends who wanted to go to the World Cup. We
:20:04. > :20:12.also wanted to help a charity close to our hearts. We set out to walk
:20:13. > :20:22.1966 kilometres from Mendoza to Brazil. The last time England won
:20:23. > :20:27.the World Cup was 1966, so it is an iconic number for England fans. Part
:20:28. > :20:35.of me did not know what to expect. It was my first time in South
:20:36. > :20:36.America. The reality was it was ruling.
:20:37. > :20:45.of me did not know what to expect. It was my first We walked through
:20:46. > :20:46.the desert in Argentina. No shade, the biggest mosquito is we have ever
:20:47. > :20:48.seen and we have two sleeping abandoned train stations, charged by
:20:49. > :20:52.balls. We had to go over cobbles and sleepers for about five kilometres
:20:53. > :20:57.and then we realised it was a ridiculous idea. We were walking
:20:58. > :21:05.through a field with thick and heavy mud. We came to a fence and we tried
:21:06. > :21:08.to lift the fence up to take the golf buggies and, but we were
:21:09. > :21:14.electrocuted and nearly vomited. We are all very good set -- friends.
:21:15. > :21:19.But there has been times where it is difficult to live in each other's
:21:20. > :21:28.pockets for 100 days. We did it and we got there without anybody
:21:29. > :21:33.massively falling out. The best thing about being in Argentina they
:21:34. > :21:37.show foot all all day. We managed to watch the end of the Premier League
:21:38. > :21:43.season, the Champions' League finals and also local foot ball. When we
:21:44. > :21:49.were walking through your guy, what we thought was a stray dog began
:21:50. > :21:57.following is. He did stink. Peter named him Stephen Jeppesen. Then we
:21:58. > :22:01.found out he wasn't a stray dog. We got a message from a Uruguayan man
:22:02. > :22:10.whose friend had spotted Jefferson in a local newspaper. We found -- we
:22:11. > :22:24.told our plan and we reunited them. It was very emotional. Getting onto
:22:25. > :22:44.the pitch was unending point. It was a journey that has taught me a lot
:22:45. > :22:52.about myself and being resilient. One way to get noticed is by making
:22:53. > :22:59.as much noise as possible. Jon Sopel is on Copacabana Beach. Have you
:23:00. > :23:03.heard the one about being Lishman, the Australian, the Argentinian and
:23:04. > :23:12.the German? We have or add them here and it is about the competing World
:23:13. > :23:17.Cup sounds. The whistle. Rubbish. Give me that. That is what you are
:23:18. > :23:39.meant to do. Which is the best sound? The best is
:23:40. > :23:52.mine. You are making no sound. I know. Do you think it is right to
:23:53. > :23:56.ban these from inside the grounds? It is so wrong. We were making so
:23:57. > :23:59.much fun. ban these from inside the grounds?
:24:00. > :24:07.It is so wrong. It is so nice. We should share it all around the
:24:08. > :24:12.world. It represents culture of a country. When the country is hosting
:24:13. > :24:16.the World Cup, we should respect that culture. If this belongs in
:24:17. > :24:20.South Africa, it should be in every game. It is a beautiful noise. It is
:24:21. > :24:30.part of the atmosphere and they should let them in. That is the
:24:31. > :24:36.verdict of the fans. They want as much noise as possible, it seems.
:24:37. > :24:39.And if you're following the World Cup on Twitter you might have
:24:40. > :24:43.noticed that world leaders have been enjoying the action too.
:24:44. > :24:46.Here's a selfie posted by the German player Lukas Podolski with
:24:47. > :24:48.Chancellor Angela Merkel after the team's 4-0 victory over Portugal.
:24:49. > :24:52.And here's the Iranian president Hassan Rouhani, clearly glued to
:24:53. > :24:59.Remember you can tweet a picture to show us at the BBC
:25:00. > :25:03.where you're watching the World Cup using the hashtag #myworldcupseat.
:25:04. > :25:06.And don't forget there's plenty more at the BBC Sport website.
