Hello, I'm Mariko Oi in Singapore with BBC World News. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Our top stories: In Iraq, at least 30 people have been killed | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
and more than 60 injured in a suicide attack on a Shia shrine | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
More protests in the United States, as President Obama says | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
all Americans should be deeply troubled by the recent shootings | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Thousands have evacuated their homes and offices are shut, | :00:25. | :00:36. | |
And which of these two politicians could become Britain's next Prime | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
It is now certain the new leader will be a woman. | :00:44. | :01:09. | |
In Iraq, at least 30 people have been killed and 60 injured, | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
in an attack by suicide bombers and gunmen on a Shia shrine | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
According to officials, the attack started when a suicide | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
bomber targeted policemen guarding the entrance to the Sayid Mohammed | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
bin Ali al-Hadi shrine in Balad, 90 kilometres north of the capital, | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
A second bomber entered the shrine, with nine gunmen targeting security | :01:26. | :01:35. | |
forces as well as families gathering to celebrate the Eid festival, | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan. | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
Officials say a third bomber was killed. | :01:41. | :01:41. | |
The attack comes as the official death toll from a suicide bombing | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
in Baghdad on Sunday has risen to 292. | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
That attack, which took place in a busy shopping street | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
in the mainly-Shia Karrada district of Baghdad, | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
was claimed by the so-called Islamic State. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
It was the deadliest bombing in Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
We will bring you more on this latest attack as we get it. | :02:02. | :02:16. | |
President Obama says he is deeply troubled by the latest fatal | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
shooting of a black man by police in the US. | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Video footage emerged of the moments after the shooting | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
when it was live-streamed on social media by his girlfriend. | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
The victim, Philando Castile, had been pulled over in his car | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
His girlfriend said he was shot as he was reaching | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
The President has been speaking after landing in Poland a little | :02:37. | :02:51. | |
He said that all Americans should be concerned about the shootings. | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
When incidents like this occur, there is a big chunk of our fellow | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
citizenry that feels as if, because of the colour of their skin, | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
This is not just a black issue, it's not just an Hispanic issue. | :03:08. | :03:31. | |
This an American issue, that we should all care about. | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
All fair-minded people should be concerned. | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
Now, let me just say, we have extraordinary appreciation | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
and respect for the vast majority of police officers. | :03:42. | :03:52. | |
They put their lives on the line to protect us every single day, | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
they've got a dangerous job, it is a tough job. | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
Our North America correspondent Nick Bryant has spent the day | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
in Minnesota, where the shooting happened, and you may find some | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
of the images in his report distressing. | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
He's licensed, he's carrying, he's licensed to carry. | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
He was trying to get out his ID and his wallet. | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
The immediate aftermath of yet another police shooting, | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
this time not just caught on camera, but streamed live on Facebook. | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
The officer just shot him in his arm. | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
The female passenger in the car, Diamond Reynolds, has just | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
seen her boyfriend shot by a policeman. | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
He is fast losing blood and fast losing consciousness. | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
You told him to get his ID, Sir, his driver's licence. | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
Please don't tell me my boyfriend went like that. | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
Philando Castile had been pulled over because his rear light wasn't | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
working, and apparently told the officer he had | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
a legally-purchased, concealed weapon with him | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
Mr Castile had worked as a cafeteria supervisor at a local | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
Protesters converged on the governor's mansion, | :05:10. | :05:18. | |
draping it with police tape taken from the scene of the shooting. | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
Giving angry voice to now-familiar cries of protest, that have echoed | :05:22. | :05:31. | |
Then, Diamond Reynolds stepped before the crowd carrying her young | :05:32. | :05:51. | |
daughter, who had witnessed everything from the back seat | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
Not one shot, not two shots, not three shots, not four shots, | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
It is the second shocking incident this week. | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
This is footage from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, showing a black man, | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
Alton Sterling, being held down by police and shot several times. | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
Another police shooting, another black family left to mourn, | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
We're seeing this with alarming regularity. | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray. | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
The names associated with some of the more high-profile police | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
This year alone, 123 African-Americans have been killed | :06:29. | :06:36. | |
It's stunning to see in two days what we've been seeing for years, | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
and that is police killing of citizens. | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
And the question is, when will there be a systematic | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
response to what has been a systemic problem | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
And I think that we've been saying this over and over again, | :06:55. | :07:11. | |
and I think the last two days brought this to a real tipping point | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
for how this country deals with policing. | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
With so much fury in so many communities, the fear is this | :07:17. | :07:25. | |
could be the start of a long, hot summer, | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
words which for decades have been uttered with a sense of foreboding. | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
Taiwan has had a lucky escape after a super-typhoon made landfall | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
The category-five Typhoon Nepartak is travelling south-east | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
of Taiwan's Hualien City, with wind speeds of up to 240 | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
kilometres an hour, but that is much slower than expected. | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
Cindy Sui joins us live from the capital, Taipei. | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
Let's get the latest from our correspondent Cindy Sui, | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
It is slightly windy where you are, but I guess the damage hasn't been | :07:51. | :08:08. | |
as bad as anticipated. Yes, Taiwan definitely feels we have gotten sort | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
of a reprieve, in a way, from the Typhoon which at one point was | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
classified as a super-typhoon, with wind speeds of more than 200 | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
kilometres an hour but after it made landfall in Taiwan, around 6am this | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
morning, in south-eastern Taiwan which is not far from here it was | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
downgraded because the mountains in Taiwan made it weaker. But still | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
this typhoon has caused some damage and we are hearing that one person | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
has died from drowning in coastal areas, and 66 people have been | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
injured. At the same time, some 180,000 households lost power at | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
some point, and 14,000, 15,000 of them still remain without | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
electricity. Now we also have about 15,000 people evacuated from | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
mountainous areas in the outlying islands. And several thousand | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
soldiers as well as Cosker officers and police officers mobilised to | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
deal with this problem. But the typhoon is moving away from Taiwan | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
at this point, they have got a lot of rain to the southern and eastern | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
parts of Taiwan, but thankfully the damage seems to be quite limited at | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
this point. Of course, another story is dominating news headlines at the | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
moment, and an explosion on a commuter train which has left 25 | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
people injured. You were just attending a press conference by the | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
authorities. Do we know exactly what happened? Yes, this is quite a rare | :09:34. | :09:43. | |
incident in Taiwan. Explosions rarely happen here, especially on | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
Taiwan's extensive railway system but last night about 10pm just as | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
many commuters were heading home to try and avoid the typhoon, an | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
explosive device was set off on a commuter train. Now, the police are | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
investigating what may have set off this device. They were saying | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
initially that they think it was some kind of firecracker. They found | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
a metal tube that was broken, with explosives stuffed inside, and they | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
believe that this is what caused the explosion to happen but they have | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
told me just recently, this morning, that they haven't ruled out that it | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
may have been an accident. But they are looking into whether it was | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
intentional. And in fact, The Premier told reporters last night | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
that he thinks based on initial evidence that it was done by someone | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
on purpose. As you say, a very unusual incident. 25 people were | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
injured. Do we know their conditions? Yes, fortunately of the | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
24 people injured, most of them suffered in light injuries. At | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
around two of them, at least two of them suffered serious injuries | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
including one person has 30% burns to his body, they have been | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
distributed to different parts of Taipei's hospitals but at this point | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
authorities are looking into what happened, who may have been behind | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
it, and if it indeed was intentional, then they really do | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
want to find this person. And right now they have very little beads, | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
very little to go buy because there was no CCTV camera on the train. So | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
they are looking at video footage of the train station itself, as people | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
flooded out, to see if there was possibly a suspect who also came out | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
with the injured passengers. -- very little leads. | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
Voters in Japan will elect members of the upper house of the parliament | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
on Sunday, and the stakes are particularly high | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
If his group can increase its majority, he might gain | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
the power to try and change the country's constitution. | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
Stephen Evans has this report from Tokyo. | :11:39. | :11:48. | |
If the government can win more seats in this election, | :11:49. | :11:59. | |
so it has a two-thirds majority in the upper house | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
the first constitutional change in seven decades becomes possible. | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
For 70 years there's been no change at all. | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
But the ruling LDP has always wanted to revise the constitution. | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
They regard it as an imposition by the American forces, | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
and so there is a very strong baggage attached. | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
The baggage is that Japan's constitution is pacifist. | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
There is a navy, but by law it can only defend the homeland. | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
The army can't fight abroad without constitutional change. | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is out campaigning. | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
He doesn't mention wanting to change the constitution, | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
but his opponents say that is the intention. | :12:43. | :12:53. | |
Itsuki reads her daughter stories of war. | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
These images play strongly in a country that was all | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
TRANSLATION: When Prime Minister Shinzo Abe came back to power, | :12:59. | :13:13. | |
3.5 years ago, his promise was to change the constitution. | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
My daughter was eight months old then, | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
and I felt I could only give her a peaceful future | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
The subtext of this election is whether Japan should | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
That is becoming a theme on this planet now, as economic power shifts | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
British politics and stability haven't exactly gone hand-in-hand | :13:33. | :13:56. | |
lately, but one thing is now certain. | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
A woman is on track to become the next Prime Minister. | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
In their ballot to select a new party leader, Conservative MPs | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
have narrowed it down to Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom. | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
Party members will decide the winner in September. | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg has | :14:09. | :14:09. | |
all the details, and there is flash photography in her report. | :14:10. | :14:23. | |
The march of Theresa May, striding easily on to the ticket. | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
Miles ahead of both her rivals today. | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
Her supporters already crying "Prime Minister." | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
This vote shows that the Conservative Party can | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
come together and that under my leadership it will. | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
We need proven leadership to negotiate the best deal | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
for leaving the European Union, to unite our party and our country | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
and to make Britain a country that works, not for the privileged few, | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
And in the grand rooms of Westminster, the vote was clear. | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
Therefore Michael Gove with the lowest number of votes has been | :15:02. | :15:20. | |
eliminated from the ballot. With Michael Gove out, | :15:21. | :15:21. | |
and the Energy Minister, Andrea Leadsom trailing, | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
Mrs May's supporters were delighted. Not quite waving on the steps | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
of Number Ten yet, but she has just won the very clear endorsement | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
of the majority of Tory MPs. Her backers hope her experience | :15:30. | :15:31. | |
makes her the clear favourite. She can truly say, | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
as we go to the country, Are you surprised by how | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
strong the support was? Well, she got 165 earlier | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
in the week, a fantastic, To go forward even further | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
and get to near 200, it is a clear indication | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
of what parliamentarians think we need in our | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
next Prime Minister. I can't hear you, are | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
you ready for Andrea? Traditional Tories, though, | :15:58. | :15:59. | |
are excited by Andrea The eurosceptic Energy Minister | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
is far less experienced. Her colleagues need reassurance | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
about her record, but one wing of the party is enthusiastic enough | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
to march along the river in in an unusual show | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
of Conservative support. What do we want? | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
Leadsom for leader. When do we want it? | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
Now. She was hardly known | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
before the referendum. How difficult was it to decide to | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
run I feel, having played a part | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
in showing this country the prospects for us outside | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
of the EU, I just felt I needed to put myself forward | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
to offer to lead the way through it because I | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
really believe in it. But just a couple of days | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
into the race she's already been I spent the best part of ten | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
years in BZW and Barclays and the best part of ten years | :16:48. | :16:55. | |
in Investco for Petrol. I've also had a part-time | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
job in Sainsbury's. I started life as a 14-year-old | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
silver service waitress. My CV is incredibly varied | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
and it is all absolutely true. I think this is, | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
you know, ridiculous. I'm naturally disappointed that I | :17:08. | :17:32. | |
haven't been able to make it through to the final round of this | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
leadership contest. This is a moment to raise a's team will treasure. A | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
more successful start to the race than they could have hoped but now | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
MPs lose control and the contest goes to the country. Is the | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
Conservative party not Parliament who makes the call. Laura | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster. -- it's. | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
And a female politician could hold the key to | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
Six days after the poll, there's still no result. | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
But as counting continues, the governing conservative coalition | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
led by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, is edging towards victory | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
although they might need some help to form a majority. | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
There are five independent or minor party MP's in parliament. | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
Firebrand politician Bob Katter has confirmed he will support the Prime | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
But Greens Party MP Adam Bandt has made it clear Malcolm Turnbull | :18:14. | :18:30. | |
Of the remaining three, two have signalled they won't | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
Leaving first time MP Rebecca Sharkie to potentially | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
decide the fate of Australia's political future. | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
Earlier my colleague Ali Moore spoke to Chris Uhlmann, | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
the ABC's political editor, about when we can expect | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
Sometime next week but don't forget in the Australian system if it's | :18:54. | :19:03. | |
very close there will be recounts. We would expect the parliament will | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
be resumed in August and things will be settled before them. We know for | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
sure they're Coaition win be able to govern with the help of some of | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
those crossbenchers but if it's in a position where it's under 76 votes | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
that will make it shaky for the coalition government led by Malcolm | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
Turnbull. At this stage the ALP actually looks like the winner, the | :19:23. | :19:32. | |
Labour Party, they are having a caucus meeting today to celebrate | :19:33. | :19:34. | |
the fact they came second. They came so close is the point. It's a great | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
irony that Malcolm Turnbull called this election because he was trying | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
to get some clear air to get his legislative agenda through but it | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
has backfired fairly spectacularly? One of the things he was trying to | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
do was clear the upper house where he had a problem with a bunch of | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
parties and independents refusing to pass his agenda, he did that using a | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
provision in the Constitution which meant he could dissolve the whole | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
house. What that meant was that the quota for electing a member dropped. | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
Now he faces a house that he returns to, an upper house, which will be | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
even more complicated than the one he left behind. On almost all counts | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
the Prime Minister's calling of this election hasn't turned out very well | :20:15. | :20:15. | |
for him at all. This Saturday marks the first | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
anniversary of a massive crackdown Hundreds of activists | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
were taken away. awaiting trial and possibly life | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
sentences. Their families say the detained | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
lawyers have had no access China correspondent Stephen McDonell | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
met a group of the lawyers' wives A year after their husbands | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
were taken away by Chinese police, these two women have still not | :20:33. | :20:46. | |
been able to visit them. On the ninth of July 2015, | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
officials here launched a massive offensive against China's | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
human rights lawyers, turning the lives of their | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
families upside down. These two lawyers were amongst | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
the hundreds of lawyers The BBC believes 17 of them | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
are still being held, At least nine are facing | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
state subversion charges, which could lead | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
to life imprisonment. The stress on those close to these | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
lawyers remains considerable. TRANSLATION: Every | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
day, I'm really sad. I cry because I'm worried | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
about his safety. I don't even know whether | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
he is dead or alive. I'm so worried I can't sleep | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
and I need to take pills. At first, we were all pretty | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
lonely and desperate, Then, after a while, | :21:50. | :22:01. | |
the relatives all started talking to one another, so we weren't | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
so lonely, and gave We encourage one another | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
to remain positive. We ask them about how | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
they are managing to get The authorities want us | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
to wash our faces with tears. They want us to break down | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
and hide in corners, feeling that we have no support, | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
but lots of strangers have called At the time my husband was taken | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
away, my son was two and a half, so he has no way of | :22:29. | :22:43. | |
understanding this. How can you tell a two and a half | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
year old that the police have So I had no choice but to lie | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
to him, to tell him that dad is away on business, that daddy will be | :22:51. | :23:07. | |
back when he finishes, and that he loves and | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
misses you very much. Earlier this week, the wives of six | :23:11. | :23:12. | |
detained men protested in front of Beijing's Supreme | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
People's Procuratorate. They wrote messages of support | :23:16. | :23:16. | |
for their husbands. But, for the moment, | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
nothing has changed. In China, realistically, | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
when people are detained for this long and face this type of charge, | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
they tend to lose in court, meaning that it could be quite | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
a long time before these lawyers can When the Indian company | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
Ringing Bells announced a smartphone priced at just under $4, | :23:30. | :23:44. | |
many wondered if this was too good The company now says the first batch | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
of handsets is ready to ship. Our business correspondent | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
Shilpa Kannan had a chance to test So this is Freedom 251, | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
the phone that is being billed It is priced at 2.51 | :23:55. | :24:07. | |
rupees, or under $4. At first sight it is an Android | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
phone, but feels very much It has four inches of screen space, | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
and has a camera in the front And when you look at the apps, | :24:14. | :24:23. | |
there are a few basic ones, It's got an e-mail, it has | :24:24. | :24:32. | |
a browser, there is a music player, Everything seems to | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
be functioning fine. But many question if these kinds | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
of features can really be delivered The company, Ringing Bells, | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
which makes these handsets says it is actually going to suffer | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
a loss of $2 on every But right now the company has | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
about 5,000 sets which it says it is ready to deliver, | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
and has placed an order But the real order book is around 70 | :24:57. | :24:58. | |
million phones. Can it really deliver | :24:59. | :25:11. | |
that kind of numbers? Now, how's this for | :25:12. | :25:13. | |
an extravagant purchase? A single bunch of grapes has been | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
sold in Japan for a record price Each piece of fruit is as big as a | :25:18. | :25:32. | |
golf ball. They were bought by a supermarket and they will be put on | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
display and handed out for free to selected shoppers. | :25:37. | :25:37. | |
France has beaten Germany 2-0 in the second semi-final of the Euro | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
No wonder the French fans reacted like this. | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
It's the first time since 1958 their team has beaten Germany | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
We'll have the full story of the game in about 15 minutes | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
That's it for this edition. Thank you for watching. | :25:55. | :26:06. | |
Conditions are looking pretty unsettled now for the next | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
There will be some warmth and humidity in the air | :26:12. | :26:15. |
