:00:16. > :00:23.of St Louis the National Guard is sent in to restore peace and order.
:00:24. > :00:28.Molotov cocktails were thrown, there were shootings, looting, vandalism
:00:29. > :00:34.and other acts of violence. After two years of seeking asylum,
:00:35. > :00:37.the founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, says he will leave the

:00:40. > :00:42.forces and Kurdish peshmerga fighters have re-taken a key dam in
:00:43. > :00:45.Mosul in the north of the country The governor of the US state
:00:46. > :01:12.of Missouri, Jay Nixon, has signed an order to send in the National
:01:13. > :01:16.Guard to restore peace and order in Ferguson, where protests have
:01:17. > :01:18.escalated over the shooting dead by police of an unarmed black
:01:19. > :01:21.teenager more than a week ago. Police in the St Louis suburb say
:01:22. > :01:24.shots were fired at their officers in overnight violence
:01:25. > :01:27.and petrol bombs were thrown. The BBC's Aleem Maqbool is in
:01:28. > :01:43.Ferguson, Missouri - we spoke to him It is an extraordinary announcement
:01:44. > :01:46.by the Government, it comes after we heard the police chief saying they
:01:47. > :01:52.were going to look at ways they could change things operationally
:01:53. > :01:56.because clearly the tactics, while things are calm now, it has been
:01:57. > :02:05.another violent evening on the streets of Ferguson. My only sent,
:02:06. > :02:08.having spoken to people here, is that it will antagonise people
:02:09. > :02:15.more. They already felt they have been overrun by police who in some
:02:16. > :02:20.cases to them look like an invading army, and that has meant that more
:02:21. > :02:25.wants to come out onto the streets. It's why we saw some of the violence
:02:26. > :02:30.this evening, because some of the protesters have made a plan to tell
:02:31. > :02:34.the police that this was their area, it was not the police that control
:02:35. > :02:38.things but they were the ones who could take to the streets if they
:02:39. > :02:43.wanted to. They still feel they should be able to take to the
:02:44. > :02:48.streets to talk to something -- about something they are very
:02:49. > :02:53.passionate about - the killing of Michael Brown. The introduction of
:02:54. > :02:58.the National Guard however may well stop some of the looting and
:02:59. > :03:01.violence ultimately, but I can only see at introducing more tension
:03:02. > :03:06.here. On the other hand the police feel like they need to do something
:03:07. > :03:12.else. It has been very different each night, and the last night has
:03:13. > :03:17.been particularly bad. What has been going on? What we saw 24 hours ago
:03:18. > :03:21.is that as soon as the curfew came into place, even though the
:03:22. > :03:26.protesters at the time were protesting peacefully, the police
:03:27. > :03:30.fired teargas immediately. This time around it felt like the protesters
:03:31. > :03:34.were not going to let it get to that point so we had a violent evening
:03:35. > :03:41.where petrol bombs were thrown, rocks were thrown at police, police
:03:42. > :03:47.fired teargas back, and sound bombs were used as well. They formed lines
:03:48. > :03:52.and formations to move through a very small stretch really that has
:03:53. > :03:57.seen most of the violence, but we also worryingly heard live gunfire
:03:58. > :04:02.through the night, so another chaotic evening in Ferguson.
:04:03. > :04:05.Malik Shabazz is President of Black Lawyers for Justice and he
:04:06. > :04:18.Let me say this, things have deteriorated, and things have
:04:19. > :04:31.deteriorated for a couple of reasons. I think there is an over
:04:32. > :04:43.the militarisation of the police, and it is antagonistic. There are
:04:44. > :04:46.Agent Provocateur 's amongst legitimate demonstrators who are
:04:47. > :04:52.here to support Michael Brown, and I don't know who they are working for
:04:53. > :05:02.but they are agents for somebody. What they want to do is to mar the
:05:03. > :05:12.demonstrations so I do think the teargas came too early. I don't
:05:13. > :05:16.think it was necessary. I think there are carried police here on top
:05:17. > :05:20.of State police and it is not clear the chain of command, and I think
:05:21. > :05:29.there are too many police to deal with the demonstrators, which is
:05:30. > :05:36.antagonistic. The demonstrators want to make sure that tonight ends with
:05:37. > :05:44.a confrontation with the police. And it's been reported that
:05:45. > :05:46.Michael Brown, whose death sparked off the wave of protest in Ferguson,
:05:47. > :05:49.was shot by police at least six The New York Times has acquired the
:05:50. > :05:55.results of a preliminary, private post mortem, which was conducted at
:05:56. > :05:59.the request of the victim's family. The US Attorney General,
:06:00. > :06:01.Eric Holder, has said the Justice Department would conduct
:06:02. > :06:03.its own separate post mortem, due to what he called the extraordinary
:06:04. > :06:12.circumstances involved in the case. The Wikileaks founder,
:06:13. > :06:19.Julian Assange, has said he will leave the Ecuadorean embassy
:06:20. > :06:21.in London soon, but he didn't say He's spent the last two years
:06:22. > :06:27.there trying to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he's facing sexual
:06:28. > :06:30.assault charges, which he denies. If he's sent there he says he could
:06:31. > :06:33.then face US charges over the leaking
:06:34. > :06:37.of secret government documents. Speaking at a press conference
:06:38. > :06:39.inside the Ecuadorean embassy Julian Assange said his health had
:06:40. > :06:51.suffered over the last 2 years. As you can imagine, being detained
:06:52. > :06:56.in various ways in this country without charge for four years and in
:06:57. > :07:07.this embassy for two years, which has no outside area or no sunlight,
:07:08. > :07:23.as a result of the obstruction that is presently in place by the UK and
:07:24. > :07:32.the policing costs of more than 6.5 million pounds. It is an environment
:07:33. > :07:43.in which any healthy person would find themselves soon enough with
:07:44. > :07:47.certain difficulties. That was Julian Assange speaking during a
:07:48. > :07:52.webcast in London. Let's discuss this further with our legal affairs
:07:53. > :07:56.correspondent. There is a lot to dissect here, but one of the main
:07:57. > :08:04.points he was making is that he could potentially be leaving soon.
:08:05. > :08:09.What implications does that have for him? The legal position has not
:08:10. > :08:13.changed, he will be arrested by the British police and then extradited
:08:14. > :08:17.to Sweden to face those allegations of sexual assault, and that would
:08:18. > :08:25.happen within ten days. There has been some suggestion that his
:08:26. > :08:30.health... That he is in poor health and that perhaps would be a bar to
:08:31. > :08:34.extradition. If he needs hospital treatment in this country that
:08:35. > :08:37.period of ten days could be expanded somewhat, but health grounds alone
:08:38. > :08:43.would not provide another legal avenue. The legal issues have been
:08:44. > :08:50.fought, all the way to the Supreme Court, who two years ago decided by
:08:51. > :08:56.a strong majority that Julian Assange had no grounds for resisting
:08:57. > :09:06.extradition. He was arguing that the prosecuting authorities in Sweden
:09:07. > :09:10.that had requested his extradition were not a judicial authority. The
:09:11. > :09:14.Supreme Court decided they were and that his extradition should take
:09:15. > :09:19.place. Nothing has really changed since that time, and if he sets foot
:09:20. > :09:24.outside the embassy the likelihood is that he will be arrested. If he
:09:25. > :09:29.needs medical care he will get that, but he will be extradited to face
:09:30. > :09:36.those allegations within ten days. He was implying that the stands, the
:09:37. > :09:41.attitude in the UK towards these laws have somewhat changed? I was
:09:42. > :09:48.puzzled by that because there have been no changes to the arrest scheme
:09:49. > :09:53.as far as I am aware. The scheme is a fast-track extradition schemes
:09:54. > :09:58.that came in after 911. It is based on a simple idea that every justice
:09:59. > :10:03.system within Europe is of equal quality, you get is fair trial in
:10:04. > :10:09.one as you get in another so it is extremely difficult to resist
:10:10. > :10:14.extradition. Julian Assange tried to do so, he went to the Supreme Court
:10:15. > :10:19.and he failed, so nothing has changed in that time. I'm not quite
:10:20. > :10:24.sure what was being alluded to by changes. Extradition lawyers I have
:10:25. > :10:33.spoken to this morning are pretty confident nothing has changed and he
:10:34. > :10:36.will be extradited. Briefly, he is annoyed that the press are
:10:37. > :10:44.misrepresenting telling his story, that he faces these charges but they
:10:45. > :10:49.are not charges yet. Yes, under the scheme he does not need to be
:10:50. > :10:54.charged in Sweden. A well founded allegation or an allegation that the
:10:55. > :10:58.prosecution authorities say is well founded is sufficient. The fact he
:10:59. > :11:03.hasn't been charged does not affect the extradition to Sweden. He has
:11:04. > :11:09.said that if he goes to Sweden he could also face charges from the
:11:10. > :11:13.US. The United States have not formally sought his extradition. If
:11:14. > :11:18.they did seek his extradition from Sweden, they would also need the
:11:19. > :11:22.consent of the British government. He couldn't just be extradited from
:11:23. > :11:27.Sweden to the United States, there is a protection built in that the
:11:28. > :11:30.original surrendering country would have to give permission for him to
:11:31. > :11:39.be extradited on to be extradited onto the United States. It is a
:11:40. > :11:43.protection for people, it is not that one country can just grab
:11:44. > :11:48.somebody and extradite him, they have to go back to the original
:11:49. > :11:56.surrendering country, ourselves, and we have to give our consent.
:11:57. > :12:00.Kalashnikov wielding robbers have attacked the motorcade of a Saudi
:12:01. > :12:07.prince in Paris. French police said thieves made up -- made off with
:12:08. > :12:24.250,000 euros in cash and stole sensitive documents. More than
:12:25. > :12:31.100,000 mourners in Brazil have turned out to pay their respects to
:12:32. > :12:36.the presidential candidate, Eduardo Campos. He was killed in a plane
:12:37. > :12:42.crash on Wednesday and his remains were buried after ten hours of
:12:43. > :12:48.ceremonies on Sunday. The capital came to a halt to bid farewell to
:12:49. > :12:54.Eduardo Campos, the state's most prominent politician. The event
:12:55. > :13:06.started early on Sunday, people gathered for the public service at
:13:07. > :13:11.the Palace. He had governed here and stepped down just a few months ago
:13:12. > :13:23.to run for president. His home state is still in shock after the plane
:13:24. > :13:31.crash on Wednesday. Many people came to pay their respects, ordinary
:13:32. > :13:38.people including current politicians. Thousands followed
:13:39. > :13:55.along the streets as his body was taken to the cemetery. His widow and
:13:56. > :14:01.children clinging to the coffin. On the truck, a sentence he had said
:14:02. > :14:06.before dying, we will not give up on Brazil. This is a symbol of his
:14:07. > :14:19.popularity and his importance to the country. Lots more still to come,
:14:20. > :14:25.including the secret gambling dens on the Chinese border. We have a
:14:26. > :14:30.special report. Western Iran has been hit by an
:14:31. > :14:47.earthquake of magnitude 6.3. It struck near the provincial capital
:14:48. > :14:54.of Dezful. There are no reports of casualties. It's one of the toughest
:14:55. > :14:57.sports around so when the women's World Cup finals were played out in
:14:58. > :15:01.Paris over the weekend, critics of the women's game wondered if it
:15:02. > :15:13.would be as hard fought a tournament as it is in its male counterpart.
:15:14. > :15:21.England's red roses, as they are known, were taking on Canada. Unlike
:15:22. > :15:26.their male counterparts, these players had to take unpaid leave
:15:27. > :15:33.from their day jobs to play in Paris. Canada were never going to be
:15:34. > :15:38.overawed, they had already put out France and soon proved they were up
:15:39. > :15:43.to the task. But England looking for their first World Cup final win in
:15:44. > :15:50.20 years were in commanding form. Danielle Waterman eventually
:15:51. > :15:58.rounding off the try. Both sides kicked long and with accuracy. But
:15:59. > :16:02.it was outside centre and the tournament's top scorer who
:16:03. > :16:07.eventually broke through the Canadian line, getting England's
:16:08. > :16:29.second try which she then converted for the victory.

:17:01. > :17:03.largest dam from the hands of Islamic militants who captured it
:17:04. > :17:06.less than two weeks ago. The development marks the first major
:17:07. > :17:10.victory for Iraqi and Kurdish troops since US airstrikes began earlier
:17:11. > :17:14.this month. The Mosul dam holds great strategic value as it supplies
:17:15. > :17:19.electricity and water to a large part of the country.
:17:20. > :17:27.With me is Karim Gohary from BBC Arabic.
:17:28. > :17:36.I have said this dam is significant. Put this into context
:17:37. > :17:46.for us. It's the largest dam in the country. It's 30 miles upstream from
:17:47. > :17:49.Mosul and controls most of the country's water and electricity.
:17:50. > :17:54.Islamic state militants have had control of it for a few months now
:17:55. > :18:01.but there has also been a lot of fighting to try and regain control.
:18:02. > :18:10.The Iraqi military and Kurdish forces have regained control of it.
:18:11. > :18:19.If this dam remained under the control of Islamic militants, they
:18:20. > :18:23.could flood areas around the dam as well as stopping drinking water
:18:24. > :18:28.getting to people and cutting electricity off. This is the only
:18:29. > :18:41.dam they have tried to gain control of. There are the damage they have
:18:42. > :18:50.had control of. They have also tried to gain control of the second
:18:51. > :18:55.largest dam in the country in the north-west and that controls 30% of
:18:56. > :19:00.the country's electricity. It seems to be a strategy by the Islamic
:19:01. > :19:11.state to gain control of oil fields and water. This will try and
:19:12. > :19:18.pressurise the government forces. When they gained control, did they
:19:19. > :19:24.know how to work it? There are workers who are still there and they
:19:25. > :19:32.have threatened them: If you don't continue working, you or your family
:19:33. > :19:40.might be killed. But they sometimes close off some of these dams. Other
:19:41. > :19:50.times, they flood whole areas. It's a very important, strategic move.

:20:43. > :20:49.darkness, there are distant, Gerrish lights. It's a gambling complex
:20:50. > :20:55.aimed exclusively at Chinese customers. Casinos are illegal in
:20:56. > :21:04.mainland China and Myanmar but the gambling walls here are not all
:21:05. > :21:09.tourists. Look closely at the people wearing headphones. They work here,
:21:10. > :21:14.placing bets on behalf of clients back in China. A satellite dish
:21:15. > :21:22.outside makes sure the connection never drops and the money keeps
:21:23. > :21:43.coming in. Welcome to gong La, a Sin city state of gambling, prostitution
:21:44. > :21:49.and drugs. There is no real law enforcement here so this market in
:21:50. > :21:56.particular has become notorious for openly trading in the parts of
:21:57. > :22:02.exotic and endangered animals. We filmed secretly and saw stalls of
:22:03. > :22:07.ivory, leopard-skin, tour the cis and snakes. That is the hide of an
:22:08. > :22:21.anteater. It's in endangered species. Not far away, we see to
:22:22. > :22:32.that are still just about alive. The menu also includes black bear and
:22:33. > :22:53.Python. This small zoo is in itself shocking. A small tiger skull? So
:22:54. > :22:59.this is about 1000 US dollars? It is thought there are fewer than 4000
:23:00. > :23:13.tigers living wild in the whole world. At the moment, the Chinese
:23:14. > :23:18.provide electricity, investment and tourists. The Burnley 's have very
:23:19. > :23:23.little influence so as long as China keeps turning a blind eye to the
:23:24. > :23:28.gambling, the weird, wild world will continue to thrive.

:24:07. > :24:17.Cycling: And elegant answer to the age old question, how to get from a
:24:18. > :24:21.to B? Getting around London on public transport can be pretty
:24:22. > :24:26.pricey but the cheaper alternative is one of these. You avoid the
:24:27. > :24:32.packed London underground and buses during rush hour and get to keep
:24:33. > :24:37.fit. With London's bike hire scheme, you get access to 10,000 bikes you
:24:38. > :24:43.can pick up from over 700 docking stations. The first 30 minutes free
:24:44. > :24:47.and then you pay according to how long you cycle four. Whizzing around
:24:48. > :24:53.London gives you a liberating feeling but you are quite exposed
:24:54. > :24:59.well. You have also got to content with the buses as well. Here is a
:25:00. > :25:08.band that has pulled up, so let me go around that. Safety is a big
:25:09. > :25:12.issue on London roads. Given how many cyclists there are in London,
:25:13. > :25:18.deaths are thankfully relatively rare. When it happens, they are
:25:19. > :25:23.remembered by these white painted ghost bikes. They also serve as a
:25:24. > :25:27.stark reminder to other cyclists and drivers to stay careful on the
:25:28. > :25:34.roads. Getting on a bike anywhere in the world is a risky business, as we
:25:35. > :25:38.will be hearing in our series. I fell down and broke my arm year ago
:25:39. > :25:43.and a couple of months ago, I broke two bones here. It's not just the
:25:44. > :25:48.risk of falling off your bike the causes problems as well. People are
:25:49. > :25:55.not used to seeing women on bikes in some cities. People sometimes make
:25:56. > :26:06.bad comments to me. Look at this woman. Why is she cycling? She is
:26:07. > :26:10.crazy! Cycling is not just a way of getting around for many Londoners.
:26:11. > :26:16.It's a way of life. Many come here for a well-deserved cup of coffee
:26:17. > :26:21.after their two wheeled escalates. Over the next week, cyclist from
:26:22. > :26:25.Rio, Beijing, Delhi, Nairobi and Amsterdam will share their
:26:26. > :26:30.experiences of life behind handlebars. Join us as we hear from
:26:31. > :26:40.cycling in Pewsey acids from right across the globe. The clock faces on
:26:41. > :26:48.London's Big Ben have been cleaned for the first time since 2010. It
