This is BBC World News Today with me, Zeinab Badawi. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Its star player Luis Suarez is banned | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
from nine international matches and all football for four months. | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
Uruguay is to appeal against the ban imposed by FIFA on Suarez | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
for biting an Italy defender in a World Cup group match on Tuesday. | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
I'm Peter Okwoche, live in Rio with all the latest | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
I will also have the latest update on the pitch. | :00:31. | :00:42. | |
Iraq's Prime Minister confirms Syrian warplanes targeted ISIS | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
jihadist forces on the border with his country. | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
He tells the BBC he welcomes the attack. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
The radical preacher, Abu Qatada, is found not guilty of terrorism | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
offences by a court in Jordan, but he's not a free man yet. | :00:55. | :01:06. | |
And, nearly a century after Europe went to war, its leaders unite to | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
But fresh battles lie ahead as they begin to decide who will lead | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
He was one of the major attractions of the World Cup, but now Luis | :01:16. | :01:44. | |
Suarez finds himself and from playing at the tournament in Brazil | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
after receiving the biggest penalty in World Cup history. Uruguay's star | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
striker is to be suspended for nine international matches, starting with | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
Uruguay's Matt later this week against Colombia. It has sparked a | :02:00. | :02:08. | |
huge upset in Uruguay, where the country's Football Association says | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
it will oppose the ruling. My colleague joins us now live from | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Rio. A lot of upset fans, I should imagine. Yes, a lot of upset | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
Uruguayan fans. It is that third time Luis Suarez has done this and I | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
think the punishment tries to take that into consideration. Nine | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
matches, he has been banned from playing for the Uruguayan team, and | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
he has been banned from all the falling activity for the next four | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
months, meaning he cannot play for his club side, Liverpool, or the | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
next four months. This is how the spokesperson, Delia Fisher, made the | :02:53. | :02:53. | |
announcement. The player Luis Suarez is to be | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
suspended for nine official matches. The first match of the suspension is | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
to be served in the upcoming FIFA World Cup fixture between Colombia | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
and Uruguay on 28th June 2014. The remaining match suspensions will | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
be served in Uruguay's next FIFA World Cup matches, as long as | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
the team qualifies, and/or in the representative team's subsequent | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
official matches in accordance with article 38 paragraph 2A of the FIFA | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
disciplinary code. The player Luis Suarez is banned | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
from taking part in any kind of football-related activity, | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
administrative, sport or any other for a period of four months | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
in accordance with article 22 Peter, so that is the fate of Luis | :03:33. | :03:53. | |
Suarez for the moment, but just tell us about some of the other matches | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
going on and I am thinking in particular of the United States | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
versus Germany. That game ended one nail in favour of the Germans. Both | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
side needed a draw to make it through, but luckily for the | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
Americans, they also go through simply because in the other game, | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
Garnett needed to win if they were going to progress -- it ended one | :04:19. | :04:27. | |
nail. Our gives you a shot of opposite us on the Copacabana beach, | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
American fans celebrating the fact they have made it through to round | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
16. Thomas Muller scored for the Germans in the first half of their | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
game, he has now scored a total of nine goals at the World Cup, and in | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
the other game, Donna considered a first-half own goal -- Danner. They | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
equalised to become the highest scorning African at the World Cup | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
with six goals, but Cristiani Ronaldo put Portugal ahead as that | :05:00. | :05:08. | |
game ended 2-1. Ghana have been hit with a lot of problems at this World | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
Cup. This morning it was announced two of their star players had been | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
expelled from the team, suspended indefinitely from what began a | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
Football Association is calling gross abuse of behove -- behaviour. | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
They had problems coming into this game and unfortunately it is their | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
last game at this World Cup. Tell us, who are the fancied teams for | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
those who have gone through to the next age? Quite a few good teams | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
have gone through to the next round. Brazil are still in there, Argentina | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
are in, Holland or by their as are France, so people will look to see | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
which of those teams, who are the big teams left in this competition | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
you are still in with a chance to win the World Cup, but my colleague | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
now takes a look at the action on the pitch today. Many would agree | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
with this sentiment, although not perhaps Portugal after their defeat | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
to Germany, organic, who suspended two players. -- or Danner. Portugal | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
had most to do. Rinaldo fought the early pace, nearly scoring one of | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
the best goals of the tournament. His powerful header produced one of | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
the best saves. Portugal took the lead on the half-hour. John boy was | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
the unlucky gamma defender slicing into his own net. Both teams needed | :06:45. | :06:54. | |
more goals to have a chance of progression, and although Ronaldo | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
scored his 50th international goal and secured the win, it was not | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
enough. Portugal and Ghana are both out. Meanwhile, Germany secured top | :07:04. | :07:12. | |
spot with a narrow win over the US. Juergen Klinsmann, a World Cup | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
winner with Germany in 1990, was powerless as Tomas Mejias scored the | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
winner. But the Americans do qualify. I was telling you earlier | :07:23. | :07:32. | |
about the American fans celebrating on the beach. We can now talk to my | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
colleague who was out there. Julia, what is the atmosphere like? I think | :07:38. | :07:50. | |
we had, but I can tell you that looking at it from up here it is a | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
great atmosphere down there, with the Americans really celebrating | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
their passage through to round 16. Later I will be talking about this | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
apparent football fever that seems to affect people in the US. For the | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
moment, Peter, thank you. Don't forget you can also keep up to | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
date with all the news on our website, including all the | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
latest on Suarez and those bans. And don't forget | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
the actual football - we have all The Iraqi Prime Minister, | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
Nouri al-Maliki, has confirmed to the BBC that Syrian | :08:22. | :08:33. | |
fighter jets bombed Sunni rebel The attack on the insurgents, who | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
are linked to the jihadist group ISIS, was carried out on Tuesday | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
in the border town of al-Qaim. Mr al-Maliki says Iraq did not | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
request the raid but welcomed He added that Iraq and Syria are now | :08:45. | :08:48. | |

Nouri al-Maliki, has confirmed there were some strikes, saying they were | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
on the Syrian side of the border. There was no coordination involved | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
but we welcome this action, we welcome any serious strike | :09:20. | :09:22. | |

the new element of the Syrian involvement, the region's conflicts | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
overlapping through ISIS and now Now a look at some | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
of the day's other news. The World Health Organisation says | :11:20. | :11:30. | |
drastic action is needed to fight the outbreak of the deadly Ebola | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
virus in Guinea, The WHO says 399 people have died | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
since the start of the outbreak and more than 600 cases have been | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
reported, making it An investigation into the former BBC | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
radio and TV presenter Jimmy Savile has revealed that he sexually abused | :11:45. | :11:54. | |
patients at hospitals around Britain, with victims ranging | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
from five to 75 years old. Reports covering nearly 30 hospitals | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
found that attacks took place over five decades in wards, | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
corridors and offices. Allegations that Savile was | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
a prolific sex offender only came to light after his death in 2011, | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
at the age of 84. Experts advising the British | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
government on nutrition have recommended halving the daily limit | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
for added sugar in our diets. They say sugar should make up no | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
more than 5% of the daily calories consumed - that's equivalent to | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
one can of fizzy drink. They suggest children should drink | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
water with meals rather than juice. It looks increasingly likely that | :12:33. | :12:52. | |
the former Prime Minister of Luxembourg, Jean-Claude Juncker, | :12:53. | :13:00. | |
will be given the post of president of the EU commission. | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
That's despite the best efforts of Britain's Prime Minister, | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
David Cameron, to try and block the appointment. | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
He believes that Mr Juncker might oppose fundamental reform of the EU. | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
Today, Mr Cameron and other EU leaders are in the Belgian city | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
of Ypres, where earlier they paid tribute to those who died in World | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
Europe's leaders came here to remember at the start of World War I | :13:16. | :13:26. | |
100 years ago. The leaders arrive in a town that once had been totally | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
destroyed by artillery fire. For David Cameron, today's solemn | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
ceremony marks the start of a critical summit where he will almost | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
certainly be defeated in his opposition to Jean-Claude Juncker | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
taking the top job in the U. I am unapologetic about standing up for | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
an important principle, which is that elect and heads of government | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
should make these choices, and also about the need for people that will | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
carry forward badly needed reform in Europe. The German Chancellor Angela | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
Merkel knows the focus of the summit will be a split with David Cameron, | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
but she was conscious that this date was about the heavyweight of | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
Europe's history. A van lead Europe's leaders along the main | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
road, which so many troops had marched upon, heading for battle. -- | :14:20. | :14:30. | |
a ban -- a band led them. The leaders were determined that | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
argument to date over who should run Europe would not overshadow this day | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
of remembering, but tomorrow David Cameron faces a vote that he is | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
expected to lose heavily. Earlier, Jean-Claude Juncker had appeared | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
optimistic of victory. Is your job a done deal? Angela Merkel signals | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
that after tomorrow's vote she would extend her hand and good compromises | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
could be found with Great Britain. Joining me | :15:00. | :15:08. | |
from Brussels is the Europe analyst and senior adviser to the European | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
Policy Centre, Jacki Davis. Is this snub for David Cameron, or | :15:11. | :15:21. | |
does this tell us more about the direction of the European Union? | :15:22. | :15:29. | |
David Cameron has described this as a first step in a long campaign. He | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
is making it part of the re-negotiation of our membership of | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
the European union and the referendum. There are two battles | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
going on. One is the principal of who gets to choose who runs the | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
European Commission, the EU's executive arm that proposes | :15:53. | :16:03. | |
legislation. Is it EU leaders are the European Parliament? That is an | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
issue that many people are concerned about, but they feel that the | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
bandwagon is rolling so fast bind John Claudette Eurocar, they could | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
not backtrack. -- Jean-Claude Juncker. Now that the conditions | :16:19. | :16:30. | |
attached, does that mean that any federalist ambitions he might have | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
would be contained or limited? I think it is more where you put the | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
focus. The focus for many of these European leaders is on the economic | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
situation, the need to restore competitive notes -- | :16:47. | :16:54. | |
competitiveness, jobs. So it is not so much putting a ring fence aren't. | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
This is an important and powerful job, but the commission president is | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
not decide anything. Decisions are taken by the European leaders and | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
the European Parliament. But it does set the direction and tone. It does | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
matter, but the reason this is important is what it tells us about | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
written's relationship with the European and what might happen | :17:21. | :17:31. | |
afterwards. David Cameron is telling us that everything in life has | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
consequences, he is not playing down speculation that this will be linked | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
to be negotiation and referendum. Is the UK going to get a plum job at | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
the commission? David Cameron says this is not about deals and | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
sweeteners, but they will be looking for some way to save some face in | :17:53. | :18:02. | |
the long run. Thank you. That vote expected tomorrow on the new | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
president of the European Commission. | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
The radical Muslim cleric Abu Qatada has been found not guilty | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
of terrorism offences by a court in Jordan. | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
But he'll stay in custody until September | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
when the court delivers verdicts on further terrorism charges. | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
His trial follows a decade-long legal battle | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
Our security correspondent Gordon Correra is in Amman. | :18:22. | :18:30. | |
Abu Qatada walked into an iron cage in Jordan's state | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
security court with a wave and a smile to his family and supporters. | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
As the verdict on a charge of being linked to an 1988 bomb plot | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
When news came of his acquittal, there were chaotic scenes and Abu | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
Qatada himself could be glimpsed through the bars clearly emotional. | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
After nearly a decade of legal battles, first in Britain | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
are now in Jordan, the controversial preacher Abu Qatada is now one step | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
Abu Qatada had been linked to at bomb plot in 1988. For family and | :19:02. | :19:25. | |
friends, today's decision shows the evidence was not strong. He is an | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
Islamist, but he does not support violence and terror. Abu Qatada fled | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
Jordan and received asylum in Britain. He developed a reputation | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
as a controversial and radical preacher. That eventually led to an | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
eight year legal battle to send him back to Jordan. He was deported last | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
July. His family today said they were disappointed that he remained | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
in detention. That is because one further charge against him remains. | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
For now, this influential preacher remains in custody. But within | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
months, he could be free. But officials in London say he will not | :20:13. | :20:13. | |
be allowed to return to Britain. It's nearly four months since the | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
Malaysian plane MH370 vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
with 239 passengers on board. The Australian government has now | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
announced that the search will no -- now move to an area 1,800km | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
off the west coast of Australia. With the details here's | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
our Transport correspondent It is the biggest search | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
operation in history. Covering millions | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
of square kilometres and using Hypersensitive microphones to | :20:47. | :20:47. | |
fish for sound, sonar submarines Investigators thought they had heard | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
pings from the plane's black boxes, So now there is | :20:53. | :21:02. | |
a new underwater search area, hundreds of miles further south, | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
but still huge, the size of Norway. This site is the best available | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
and most likely place where The search will still be | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
painstaking, of course, we could be fortunate and find it in | :21:18. | :21:27. | |
the first hour or the first day, but Experts are working | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
on the thinnest of clues. Basic satellite pings that were | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
never meant for finding aeroplanes and educated | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
guesswork on how quickly the Just look at where they think | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
the airliner flew. The data suggests that | :21:41. | :21:50. | |
for five or more hours, flight MH370 was being flown, | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
not by a pilot, but by a computer. It is highly likely that | :21:58. | :22:10. | |
the aircraft was on autopilot, otherwise it could not have | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
followed the orderly path that has been identified through | :22:15. | :22:15. | |
the satellite sightings. That could mean everyone | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
on board was unconscious. Even if it is true, it does not rule | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
out an accident or a deliberate act. Ships are now mapping | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
the seabed before they begin a In the United States, more people | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
than ever before were expected to have watched the match which has | :22:32. | :22:48. | |
just ended. In fact, so large was the TV | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
audience last Sunday that viewing figures were more than for the NBA | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
finals or the World Series. So has America finally welcomed | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
the so-called beautiful game? One man who should know the answer | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
is Chris Harris, the editor and He writes about TV ratings | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
and the growth of soccer He joins us via webcam from | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
West Palm Beach in Florida. Football mad Americans? A bit of a | :23:15. | :23:31. | |
contradiction? Yes, you would think so, but that is the stereotype of | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
yesteryear. This support is growing exponentially. For people under the | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
age of 24, it is the second most popular sport in the United States. | :23:44. | :23:53. | |
For the Hispanic population, it is the most popular sport. It is the | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
coming together of several different things. Demographics, age groups, as | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
well. Is it different from the figures we had for the World Cup | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
four years ago? It is. Four years ago, the United States played Ghana | :24:11. | :24:20. | |
and the TV figures were about 19 million. For the game against | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
Portugal last Sunday, it was almost 25 million. With this game coming up | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
next Tuesday against Belgium or all of Julia, that promises to break | :24:31. | :24:41. | |
that number. -- or Algeria. It is going to be absolutely huge. Is it | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
going up across the United States fairly evenly across age groups, | :24:49. | :24:57. | |
across the demography? I would say so except for middle America. The | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
West Coast of the United States and the east coast, that is really | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
taking off. Middle America is still rapidly growing, but not at the rate | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
of the Coasts. But we have had other games involving Mexico with | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
recognised is as well. It is not just United States focused, it is | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
across the board. People are watching all the games in recognised | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
's. It is interesting because the US Germany match, their coach is | :25:34. | :25:44. | |
German. How far is this popularity growing? No matter where people come | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
from in the United States, they have ancestors from other countries | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
whether it is Latin America or Europe or beyond. There is that | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
emotional tie in terms of ancestry. But there is that excitement in | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
terms of these matches. It is just one of the most exciting World Cups | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
we have seen in many years. There is a combination of factors but it is | :26:11. | :26:20. | |
on the way up. And one big factor is it is being held in Brazil which is | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
relatively easy for them to get to from the United States? Very much | :26:25. | :26:33. | |
so. And it is better TV times. The TV coverage has been better. But for | :26:34. | :26:44. | |
those US fans going to Brazil, the supporters groups sent down three | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
planes, record numbers. Thank you. Goodbye. | :26:51. | :27:01. | |
After seeing a lot of fine and sunny weather across England and Wales so | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
far this week, Friday will bring a very different story, heavy, | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
thundery rain. Scotland and Northern Ireland will be the driest and | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
brightest prospects. But Northern Ireland could get some rain on | :27:18. | :27:18. |
