Our top stories: More protests in the United States, | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
as President Obama says all Americans should be deeply | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
troubled by the recent shootings of black men by police officers. | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
Reports in the last hour say two policemen in Dallas have been shot, | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
In Iraq, at least 30 people have been killed and more than 60 | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
injured, in a suicide attack on a Shia shrine north of Baghdad. | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
And one of these two politicians could become Britain's next Prime | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
It is now certain the new leader will be a woman. | :00:45. | :01:19. | |
Reports from Dallas say several police officers have been shot | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
during protests against recent police shootings in Minnesota and | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
Louisiana. Details are still emerging but one organiser of the | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
protest says that eight shots have been fired. The incident comes as | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
President Obama says all-American should be concerned about police | :01:42. | :01:48. | |

street downtown half a mile from City Hall where the shots erupted in | :01:54. | :01:58. | |

emerged. He said all-American should be concerned about the shootings. -- | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
all Americans. When incidents like this occur, | :02:12. | :02:12. | |
there's a big chunk of our fellow citizenry that feels as if, | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
because of the colour of their skin, This is not just a black issue, | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
it's not just a Hispanic issue. This an American issue, | :02:22. | :02:39. | |
that we should all care about. All fair-minded people | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
should be concerned. Now, let me just say, | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
we have extraordinary appreciation and respect for the vast | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
majority of police officers, who put their lives on the line | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
to protect us every single day, they've got a dangerous | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
job, it is a tough job. Our North America correspondent | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
Nick Bryant has spent the day in Minnesota, where the shooting | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
happened, and you may find some of the images in his | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
report distressing. He's licensed, he's carrying, | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
he's licensed to carry. He was trying to get out his ID | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
and his wallet out his pocket... The immediate aftermath of yet | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
another police shooting, this time not just caught on camera, | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
but streamed live on Facebook. And the officer just | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
shot him in his arm. The female passenger in the car, | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
Diamond Reynolds, has just seen her boyfriend | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
shot by a policeman. He is fast losing blood, | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
and fast losing consciousness. You told him to get his ID, Sir, | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
his driver's licence. Please don't tell me my boyfriend | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
just went like that. Philando Castile had been pulled | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
over because his rear light wasn't working, and apparently | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
told the officer he had a legally-purchased, | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
concealed weapon with him Mr Castile had worked as a cafeteria | :04:09. | :04:10. | |

on the Governor's mansion, draping it with police tape taken | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
from the scene of the shooting. Giving angry voice to now-familiar | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
cries of protest, that have echoed Then, Diamond Reynolds stepped | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
before the crowd carrying her young daughter, who had witnessed | :04:39. | :04:47. | |
everything from the back seat Not one shot, not two shots, | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
not three shots, not four shots, It is the second shocking | :04:51. | :04:59. | |
incident this week. This is footage from Baton Rouge, | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
Louisiana, showing a black man, Alton Sterling, being held down | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
by police and shot several times. Another police shooting, | :05:11. | :05:19. | |
another black family left to mourn, We're seeing this with | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
alarming regularity. Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
Eric Garner, Freddie Gray. The names associated with some | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
of the more high-profile police This year alone, 123 | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
African-Americans have been killed It's stunning to see in two days | :05:38. | :05:47. | |
what we've been seeing for years, and that is police | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
killing of citizens. And the question is, | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
when will there be a systematic response to what has been a systemic | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
problem in the United States? And I think that we've been saying | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
this over and over again. And I think the last two days | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
brought this to a real tipping point for how this country | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
deals with policing. With so much fury in so many | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
communities, the fear is that this could be the start of a long, | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
hot summer, words which for decades have been uttered with | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
a sense of foreboding. Let's get the latest on media | :06:36. | :06:53. | |
reports about two police officers being shot during a protest in | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
Dallas. The BBC's correspondent is in Dallas. We don't know many | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
details but tell us what we know. Well, we know that these protests | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
have been going on in downtown Dallas for the last few hours. | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
Witnesses say it was a very peaceful protest until they heard shots | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
ringing out. Some people talk of possibly 30 or 40 shots, in fact | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
there is video that is on social media where those shots can very | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
clearly be heard. A lot of confusion, people dive into the | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
ground, to safety. And the police now are swarming that area, heavily | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
armed police officers have moved into the area. According to local | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
media reports, two officers have been shot. We do not know the extent | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
of their injuries. And some people, some witnesses, have talked of | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
possibly bystanders being shot as well. But again we have no | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
confirmation on that either. And do we know where the gunshot came from? | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
We don't know, precisely. There is some speculation that it could have | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
been a sniper who was perched in a nearby building. That is where the | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
attention seems to be being focused. The police that have moved into the | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
area are looking at buildings that were surrounding the area where the | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
demonstration was taking place. But I should emphasise that the police | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
are not confirming this. There has been a certain amount of confusion, | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
especially amongst eyewitnesses and bystanders. Concerned obviously | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
about their own safety and telling the story as they understand it. And | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
as I say some people posting video to social media, where it is | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
difficult to see what is happening, but you can certainly hear some | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
gunshots. In fact, several gunshots ringing out. And because, of course, | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
not just in Dallas but protests have been taking place across the country | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
against police murders of two black men, one in Minnesota and another | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
one in Louisiana recently. That's right, clearly there have been | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
protests in those cities, in New York city as well there has been | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
quite a significant protest. They have not been any other reports of | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
any violence or indeed any trouble. At it does tell the story of what is | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
happening in America today. And that is that a lot of people are very, | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
very angry and concerned about what has happened over the last couple of | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
days, as you say, two black men being shot dead by the police in | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
quite separate incidents. And emotions are running very high. And | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
clearly we have seen that in New York city, a demonstration that, and | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
this one in Dallas as well. Dallas incident, and as I say we are still | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
trying to gather information into exactly what is happening but it is | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
the first incident that seems to have turned violent. Those details | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
to be confirmed. And a lot of confusion still on the ground. | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
In Iraq, at least 30 people have been killed and 60 injured, | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
in an attack by suicide bombers and gunmen on a Shia shrine | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
According to officials, the attack started when a suicide | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
bomber targeted policemen guarding the entrance to the Sayid Mohammed | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
bin Ali al-Hadi shrine in Balad, 90 kilometres north of the capital, | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
A second bomber entered the shrine with nine gunmen, | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
targeting security forces as well as families gathering | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
to celebrate the Eid festival, marking the end of the holy | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
Officials say a third bomber was killed. | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
The attack comes as the official death toll from a suicide bombing | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
in Baghdad on Sunday has risen to 292. | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
That attack, which took place in a busy shopping street | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
in the mainly-Shia Karrada district of Baghdad, | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
was claimed by the so-called Islamic State. | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
It was the deadliest bombing in Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003. | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
We will bring you more on this latest attack as we get it. | :10:55. | :11:02. | |
Voters in Japan will elect members of the upper house of the parliament | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
on Sunday, and the stakes are particularly high | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
If his group can increase its majority, he might gain | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
the power to try and change the country's constitution. | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
Stephen Evans has this report from Tokyo. | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
If the government can win more seats in this election, | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
so it has a two-thirds majority in the upper house of the Japanese | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
parliament, the first constitutional change in seven | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
For 70 years there's been no change at all. | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
But the ruling LDP has always wanted to revise the constitution. | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
They regard it as an imposition by the American forces, | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
and so there is a very strong baggage attached. | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
The baggage is that Japan's constitution is pacifist. | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
There is a navy, but by law it can only defend the homeland. | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
The army can't fight abroad without constitutional change. | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
Prime Minister Abe is out campaigning. | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
He doesn't mention wanting to change the constitution, | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
but his opponents say that is the intention. | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
Itsuki Kurosawa reads her daughter stories of war. | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
These images play strongly in a country that was all | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
TRANSLATION: When Prime Minister Shinzo Abe came back to power, | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
3.5 years ago, his promise was to change the constitution. | :12:45. | :13:01. | |
My daughter was eight months old then, and I felt I could only | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
give her a peaceful future if I could campaign to stop that. | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
The subtext of this election is whether Japan should | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
That is becoming a theme on this planet now. | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
As economic power shifts and uncertainty arises, | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
British politics and stability haven't exactly gone hand-in-hand | :13:16. | :13:35. | |
lately, but one thing is now certain. | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
A woman is on track to become the next Prime Minister. | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
In their ballot to select a new party leader, Conservative MPs | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
have narrowed it down to Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom. | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
Party members will decide the winner in September. | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg has | :13:48. | :13:48. | |
all the details, and there is flash photography in her report. | :13:49. | :14:03. | |
The march of Theresa May, striding easily on to the ticket. | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
Miles ahead of both her rivals today. | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
Her supporters already crying "Prime Minister." | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
This vote shows that the Conservative Party can come | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
together and that under my leadership it will. | :14:22. | :14:22. | |
We need proven leadership to negotiate the best deal | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
for leaving the European Union, to unite our party and our country | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
and to make Britain a country that works, not for the privileged few, | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
And in the grand rooms of Westminster, the vote was clear. | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
Therefore Michael Gove with the lowest number of votes has | :14:36. | :14:53. | |
With Michael Gove out, and the Energy Minister, | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
Andrea Leadsom, trailing, Mrs May's supporters were delighted. | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
Not quite waving on the steps of Number Ten yet, but she has just | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
won the very clear endorsement of the majority of Tory MPs. | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
Her backers hope her experience makes her the clear favourite. | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
She can truly say, as we go to the country, | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
Are you surprised by how strong the result was? | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
Well, she got 165 earlier in the week, a fantastic, | :15:20. | :15:21. | |
To go forward even further and get to touching the 200, | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
it is a clear indication of what parliamentarians think | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
I can't hear you, are you ready for Andrea? | :15:28. | :15:37. | |
Traditional Tories, though, are excited | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
The eurosceptic Energy Minister is far less experienced. | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
Her colleagues need reassurance about her record. | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
But one wing of the party is enthusiastic enough to march | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
along the river in in an unusual show of Conservative support. | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
She was hardly known before the referendum. | :15:50. | :15:59. | |
How difficult was it to decide to run? | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
I feel, having played a part in showing this country | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
the prospects for us outside of the EU, I just felt I needed | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
to put myself forward to offer to lead the way through it | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
But just a couple of days into the race she's already been | :16:11. | :16:23. | |
I spent the best part of ten years in BZW and Barclays and the best | :16:24. | :16:33. | |
part of ten years in Invesco Perpetual. | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
I've also had a part-time job in Sainsbury's. | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
I started life as a 14-year-old silver service waitress. | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
My CV is incredibly varied and it is all absolutely true. | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
I think this is, you know, ridiculous. | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
Her backers, though, think she can win over the Tory | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
I love the idea of two women battling it out, showing us exactly | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
how politics can change for the better. | :17:00. | :17:00. | |
The Justice Secretary Michael Gove betrayed his friend Boris Johnson | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
I'm naturally disappointed that I haven't been able to make it | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
through to the final round of this leadership contest. | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
This is a moment Theresa May's team will treasure, a more | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
successful start to the race than they could have hoped. | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
But now MPs lose control and the contest goes to the country. | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
It's the Conservative Party, not Parliament, who makes the call. | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster. | :17:23. | :17:40. | |
The murder of a shopkeeper in Scotland in March sent shockwaves | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
through the country. On Thursday, his killer pleaded guilty. This is | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
believed to be linked to another high-profile killing in Pakistan. | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
A well loved British Pakistanis shopkeeper is brutally murdered by. | :17:59. | :18:11. | |
The family are left asking why. Initially, tabloids linked to murder | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
to a Facebook post hours before his death. Some think he was killed for | :18:19. | :18:32. | |
belonging to a controversial sect. This was put together in Bradford, | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
carried out in Scotland, but was inspired by actions in Pakistan. | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
This was linked with the killing of a Pakistani politician five years | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
ago. Both were accused by some of having committed blasphemy. Today in | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
court, the killer pleaded guilty to murder, saying he was defending | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
Islam. I wouldn't call him a man, I don't have any message that monster. | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
He basically took away a person who was peaceful, who wanted unity in | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
the world, who wanted the communities to unite, who wanted to | :19:12. | :19:22. | |
help the community, and him harming someone of peace is literally, he | :19:23. | :19:35. | |
is, he is the enemy of humanity. On the 29th of March, Asad Shah had | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
been working in his family's shock when he was brutally attacked. After | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
stabbing him to death, his killer, who had travelled 200 miles from | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
Bradford, calmly waited in a bus stop opposite for the police. His | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
brother witnessed the attack but still finds it too difficult to talk | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
about. He told me his father had brought the family to Scott and in | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
the 90s from Pakistan to escape religious intolerance. His pharmacy | :20:01. | :20:08. | |
was set on fire by extremists and his hospital was burnt down, and we | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
had an apartment above the pharmacy, where my parents were with the kids. | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
It was set on fire, might have thought about our future, and he | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
thought we would be safer in Britain. Unimaginable what has | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
happened to my brother, and it was my dad trying to protect the kids, | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
thinking something like this would happen in Pakistan, and it has | :20:36. | :20:44. | |
happened here. It seems Asad Ahmed wasn't targeted for his faith but | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
because of videos he was posting online. Recorded in his shop but | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
discussing his beliefs. In some he claims to be a prophet. One who | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
watch the videos and was incensed by them is this 32-year-old man, a | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
minicab driver from Bradford who would go on to murder Asad Shah. He | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
was a fervent admirer of another killer, who had murdered a prominent | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
Liberal Pakistani politician because he was proposing to reform | :21:17. | :21:18. | |
Pakistan's controversial blasphemy laws. He was executed earlier this | :21:19. | :21:26. | |
year, but many in Pakistan held up to hero, saying he defended the | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
honour of the Prophet. Thousands turned out for his funeral. His | :21:30. | :21:40. | |
brother said Ahmed had talked to him about the Glasgow shopkeeper. | :21:41. | :21:50. | |
Photo tribute online betray the two killers together. The killer was | :21:51. | :21:59. | |
inspired by the example. He wasn't the only person in Britain | :22:00. | :22:20. | |
to admire Mumdaz Qadri. Others expressed support for the him. Both | :22:21. | :22:29. | |
Ahmed and Mumdaz Qadri come from a strand of Islam that is normally | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
associate with a spiritual, liberal interpretation of religion. One that | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
completely opposes Al Qaeda and ISIS. At the murders they committed | :22:37. | :22:45. | |
upsets the simplistic idea that shows some sects are violent and | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
others peaceful. Extremism is more complex. Tonight, Ahmed faces a | :22:51. | :22:58. | |
lengthy jail sentence. Even from behind bars he is able to spread his | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
message. Here, he was seen sending it greetings this week. The message | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
ends with a chilling slogan. The penalty for those who insult the | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
profit, cut their heads from their bodies. The man who murdered your | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
brother, he said he did so because he was defending the honour of the | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
Prophet Muhammad, because he says your brother was claiming to be a | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
prophet. Muhamed would not have done anything like that. I think it is | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
very clear when you look at the history, he didn't resort to | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
violence and things like this. Asad Shah's family have been torn apart | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
by the murder. They want to preserve his memory but are in fear of their | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
lives. It has been very difficult for the family. The family don't | :23:48. | :23:57. | |
feel safe any more living here in Scotland. And it has split the | :23:58. | :24:06. | |
family apart since the incident, and some members of the family have left | :24:07. | :24:18. | |
Scotland or in process of leaving and it really shouldn't have come to | :24:19. | :24:19. | |
this. Let's bring you back to the news | :24:20. | :24:36. | |
breaking in the past power. Earlier we were saying at least two police | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
officers have been shot in Dallas, where protests have been taking | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
place. Now we believe three police officers have sweeping shot. The | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
incident happened during a protest about the recent shootings of like | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
men by police in Minnesota and Louisiana. You are seeing the | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
footage from Dallas where the shooting took place. And of course | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
these two shootings were several of many that we have been reporting | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
about. They have been not just in Dallas, but protests across the | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
country. In the past four hours arriving in Poland for a summit, | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
Barack Obama said the shootings by police should be of concern to all | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
Americans. He was speaking before the incident in Dallas, where we now | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
understand that the number of injured officers is three. They were | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
shot during demonstrations and footage showed a heavy police | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
presence, with offices taking cover behind vehicles on the street. That | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
is the latest we have, we will bring you more later. | :25:52. | :26:06. | |
Conditions are looking pretty unsettled now for the next | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
There will be some warmth and humidity in the air | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
during the course of the weekend as well. | :26:13. | :26:15. |
