:04:43. > :04:44.the 17-year-old Palestinian schoolboy that neighbours say was
:04:45. > :04:52.kidnapped by Israeli settlers. His home is in East Jerusalem
:04:53. > :04:56.and it now marks a makeshift front line in the running battles with

:06:07. > :06:11.that eye for an eye mentality that in this region
:06:12. > :06:17.can quickly spiral out of control. The Palestinian anger is underpinned
:06:18. > :06:19.by the feeling on their side that It is incumbent on the Israeli
:06:20. > :06:23.authorities that they condemn and pursue the perpetrator
:06:24. > :06:26.of this crime as they would had it Of course, earlier
:06:27. > :06:32.in the week it was an Israeli child, three of them, abducted

:06:39. > :06:40.he considers today's murder It shames our country, he said,
:06:41. > :06:47.and if it is proven to be Israelis responsible,

:07:17. > :07:19.on the offensive, after declaring that they are forming an Islamic
:07:20. > :07:22.state across Iraq and Syria. Meanwhile, military analysts here in
:07:23. > :07:25.London have told the BBC that Iran has supplied Iraq with jets to help
:07:26. > :07:30.it push back the Islamist threat. Lukman Faily is the Iraqi ambassador
:07:31. > :07:45.to the United States Welcome to the show. What does the
:07:46. > :07:52.Iraqi government need militarily and it's getting it from the USA? We are
:07:53. > :07:59.getting a lot of support from the United States in relation to some of
:08:00. > :08:07.the logistics. However, remain game changer had been in relation to
:08:08. > :08:12.drones and we want to work to defeat this terrorist organisation. Are
:08:13. > :08:19.drones being used, American drones, to hit jihadi targets? At this
:08:20. > :08:24.moment, no. They are for data collection. There is cooperation
:08:25. > :08:29.going on in trying to understand the scale of the operation. We have been
:08:30. > :08:34.working strongly with the United States. We have said thank you for
:08:35. > :08:38.all of the help, we appreciate it but we require more to deal with the
:08:39. > :08:46.urgency and to drastically change the situation on the ground. What
:08:47. > :08:50.more do you need? Primarily a supremacy, for example the cat
:08:51. > :08:57.intelligence and understanding the targets. We are concerned ourselves
:08:58. > :09:00.but we think there are enough targets which the United States can
:09:01. > :09:05.influence and significantly change the situation on the ground. To the
:09:06. > :09:09.benefit of the democratically elected government. You have said in
:09:10. > :09:15.the last few days that what we see now is the aftermath of the slow
:09:16. > :09:20.response to the situation in Iraq. Are you partly blaming the United
:09:21. > :09:25.States for not helping you earlier? No. We are not blaming the United
:09:26. > :09:30.States. This situation has been going on for some time in Syria.
:09:31. > :09:36.Syria is a complicated geopolitical problem to the region. And globally.
:09:37. > :09:38.What we are seeing is that the United States can help us to
:09:39. > :09:43.significantly change the situation on the ground and we have a strategy
:09:44. > :09:50.with the United States and with no one else. They are our strategic
:09:51. > :09:55.partner of choice. But if they do not give you enough of what you
:09:56. > :10:03.think you need to defeat ISIS? Where might Iraq turn? We have not shied
:10:04. > :10:06.away from stating that we have a threat to the integrity of Iraq
:10:07. > :10:10.which means we as an elected government are obliged to seek
:10:11. > :10:14.support from whomever is available on the ground to help us to defeat
:10:15. > :10:20.these terrorist organisations. Everyday patted by, it will
:10:21. > :10:26.strengthen their narrative in the region and we want to eliminate that
:10:27. > :10:31.narrative. So that might mean turning to President Assad for more
:10:32. > :10:37.help? No. Syria have conducted their own straight. We certainly do not
:10:38. > :10:47.want to have close collaboration but we both have a common enemy in ISIS.
:10:48. > :10:51.We need to remove the tumour and we need to work closely with the
:10:52. > :10:59.international community including the United States. United States,
:11:00. > :11:07.John Kerry said he wants to see President Malachy moving towards
:11:08. > :11:14.unity government. What do you say about those conditions that are
:11:15. > :11:18.being set? -- President Maliki. We have had extensive discussions with
:11:19. > :11:26.the White House. We are always having these discussions. We support
:11:27. > :11:32.the United States' position. We are asking for a quick formation of the
:11:33. > :11:37.government to reflect that what we have in Iraq is not an internal
:11:38. > :11:40.issue. We have a terrorist organisation invading and therefore
:11:41. > :11:47.the quick formation of a government will help. The United States are
:11:48. > :11:51.supporting that call and we are working strongly together in that
:11:52. > :11:57.objective. You have said this is a war of survival. You must fear that
:11:58. > :12:04.your state, the Iraqi state, is falling apart. We have been seeing
:12:05. > :12:10.that this is the largest threat Iraq has faced since its foundation. We
:12:11. > :12:16.are seeing that this is a threat to Iraq and the region. And eventually
:12:17. > :12:21.globally because of the geopolitical importance and the wealth of Iraq in
:12:22. > :12:25.changing the energy sector. The stakes are very high. Thank you very
:12:26. > :12:33.much for your time. A teenager,
:12:34. > :12:35.believed to be one of three men from south Wales who've become
:12:36. > :12:38.jihadists in Syria, has told the BBC The 17 year old left Britain
:12:39. > :12:42.in February to join his older brother in Syria; he says
:12:43. > :12:45.he has no plans to return home. A quiet, shy teenager,
:12:46. > :12:48.just a few months ago, Aseel Muthana was living in Cardiff
:12:49. > :12:52.and studying for his A-levels. We have people
:12:53. > :12:55.from all over the world here. His brother Nasser left home
:12:56. > :12:58.for Syria in November. This video shows him appealing
:12:59. > :13:01.for others to join him. His brother did so in February, now
:13:02. > :13:05.a man we believe is Aseel Muthana "I never planned to return to the
:13:06. > :13:16.UK." He defends ISIS?s killing
:13:17. > :13:19.of others saying if the state uses Abdul is a close friend of Aseel's
:13:20. > :13:26.family. He cannot believe the casual way
:13:27. > :13:31.that he talks about killing people. Well, I was a bit shocked that Aseel
:13:32. > :13:34.as a 17-year-old, saying the way that we execute and
:13:35. > :13:41.removing heads from bodies, we are He talks about seeing dead bodies,
:13:42. > :13:48.is that the teenager that you know? An 18-year-old man has been arrested
:13:49. > :13:56.as police investigate links to Aseel,
:13:57. > :14:00.and the other Cardiff jihadis. What many people here
:14:01. > :14:02.in Cardiff are still struggling to understand is exactly how these
:14:03. > :14:06.young men came to be radicalised? Could more have been done to stop
:14:07. > :14:09.them The Advisory Board of Mosques today
:14:10. > :14:15.called for tighter checks on who was Some feel those controls have
:14:16. > :14:22.been missing in Cardiff. Maybe we need to be
:14:23. > :14:24.a bit more careful Either it be in our place
:14:25. > :14:30.of worship or an event we organise. Are we checking who we are
:14:31. > :14:33.allowing into our mosques? That needs to be done
:14:34. > :14:35.by the community. The police cannot do that for us,
:14:36. > :14:39.we need to do that as a community. The police have been trying to track
:14:40. > :14:42.radical groups in Cardiff for years. The Home Secretary suggested greater
:14:43. > :14:44.surveillance powers may follow. But officers say they simply
:14:45. > :14:51.cannot keep hold of everyone. 50 years ago today,
:14:52. > :14:55.after an epic political battle, President Lyndon Johnson passed
:14:56. > :14:58.the Civil Rights Act into law. It faced huge opposition
:14:59. > :15:01.from politicians determined to maintain segregation in the Southern
:15:02. > :15:05.states of America, and from groups like the Ku Klux Klan who took to
:15:06. > :15:09.the streets that summer. Half a century on,
:15:10. > :15:12.the group still has the ability to make its presence felt, as Aleem
:15:13. > :15:19.Maqbool reports from Arkansas. The Ku Klux Klan is alive
:15:20. > :15:24.and well in America today. They may still be a around,
:15:25. > :15:26.but KKK rallies That is not to say they are not
:15:27. > :15:31.still dangerous We hate the Jews, and
:15:32. > :15:36.if you support them and sympathise Of late, white supremacists have
:15:37. > :15:42.shown that they can still terrorise. What happened to this
:15:43. > :15:45.family is proof of that. She turned up at a horrifying scene
:15:46. > :15:50.outside a local Jewish centre. I said, that is my son
:15:51. > :15:54.and my father lying there are dead. When I looked at the doors,
:15:55. > :16:01.there were bullet holes. And it hit me.
:16:02. > :16:05.They had been shot. Both her father
:16:06. > :16:09.and her son were killed that day. They weren't Jewish
:16:10. > :16:12.but were attending There is no doubt
:16:13. > :16:17.the gunman was motivated by hate. Police say a man with
:16:18. > :16:20.at least one shot gun... At his arrest, Fraser Glenn Miller
:16:21. > :16:26.screamed Nazi slogans. He had never hidden his views
:16:27. > :16:29.before and at one point he had been a so-called
:16:30. > :16:33.Drand Dragon in the Ku Klux Klan. One God, one race, one nation, so
:16:34. > :16:41.help us God Almighty, white power! The police say until the shooting,
:16:42. > :16:44.he had not done anything to warrant arrest
:16:45. > :16:48.and had a right to express himself. There are thought to be over 650
:16:49. > :16:51.different white supremacist To some extent, civil liberties
:16:52. > :16:59.groups protect their right to exist. As you drive into the town
:17:00. > :17:02.of Harrison in Arkansas, this is the huge sign that you see
:17:03. > :17:05.by the roadside put up But the sheriff says there is
:17:06. > :17:10.nothing he can do about it because of the rights to freedom
:17:11. > :17:14.of speech and expression. In the town, I met one
:17:15. > :17:17.of the men really helping to shape He told me those of us who weren't
:17:18. > :17:23.white were little more than animals. And I asked him
:17:24. > :17:26.about the recent anti-Semitic attack Even though I teach that ultimately,
:17:27. > :17:32.the people that we call Jews today are the terrorist that will be taken
:17:33. > :17:36.out, it is the angels' job, I see them to be
:17:37. > :17:44.as adverse threats of our race, Those views are exactly what
:17:45. > :17:49.the shooter talked about. That is because it is true
:17:50. > :17:51.and the people realise it. In America, inciting racial
:17:52. > :17:57.hatred is not a crime. In fact,
:17:58. > :18:00.the KKK is offered protection by the law, but however low the numbers
:18:01. > :18:04.these days, angry rhetoric turning to violence is a problem this
:18:05. > :18:15.country still has the deal with. Colombia have been one of the bright
:18:16. > :18:18.sparks of this World Cup, with a quarter final match against the
:18:19. > :18:21.host nation coming up on Friday. But the euphoria of their current
:18:22. > :18:26.success is also tinged with sadness, Fans have been paying tribute to
:18:27. > :18:31.the defender Andres Escobar, who was shot dead on this day 20
:18:32. > :18:35.years ago after scoring Latin American football expert
:18:36. > :18:43.Tim Vickery explains what happened. So many guns in Colombian society
:18:44. > :18:46.at that time, so many murders. At that time, the murder
:18:47. > :18:51.statistics were extraordinary. He got into a row with some people
:18:52. > :18:55.who may be bodyguards linked to the drugs trade, but I don't think
:18:56. > :19:00.there's any great conspiracy theory. It was just
:19:01. > :19:03.a row that ended up with a gun being Initially, it was very,
:19:04. > :19:11.very hard for Colombia to deal with It was called by some citizens,
:19:12. > :19:17.the crazy country. The absolute banality of violence
:19:18. > :19:21.of which Escobar was yet another statistic, but this time, appearing
:19:22. > :19:24.in front of the whole world. So,
:19:25. > :19:30.it was Colombia's very dirty linen Escobar is still represented
:19:31. > :19:38.in this squad here. Faryd Mondragon,
:19:39. > :19:41.the Colombian reserve goalkeeper, he came on for the last few minutes
:19:42. > :19:45.of the group game against Japan. He is now
:19:46. > :19:47.the oldest player ever to play So, Mondrogon is here, not only
:19:48. > :19:57.as reserve goalkeeper, but also as a link between this generation
:19:58. > :20:02.and that fabulous generation with a So in one form or another,
:20:03. > :20:09.Andres Escobar is represented here in Brazil as Colombia reach
:20:10. > :20:12.the quarter finals for Thomas Sparrow is BBC Mundo's
:20:13. > :20:17.correspondent in Washington, he is from Colombia
:20:18. > :20:32.and is a huge football fan. You remember this happening, what
:20:33. > :20:42.did it feel like them to be in Columbia? I was only young at the
:20:43. > :20:46.time, I was ten, but I can clearly remember the shock, the sense of
:20:47. > :20:52.hopelessness that was felt among Columbians when they heard that one
:20:53. > :20:57.of their biggest heroes had been killed. I remember reading in the
:20:58. > :21:03.newspaper about how many journalists said they felt ashamed for the first
:21:04. > :21:09.time in their lives by the fact that they were Colombian. It was the
:21:10. > :21:18.shame, the sense of deep, deep sadness. It was shame that Escobar
:21:19. > :21:21.had been killed. So now, as we watch teams progress in the World Cup, how
:21:22. > :21:28.much extra hangs on this game, this team? It is an interesting
:21:29. > :21:31.coincidence that Colombia is marking these milestones, the anniversary of
:21:32. > :21:40.the death of Escobar, and then the first quarterfinal appearance ever,
:21:41. > :21:42.and the first one reminds us of the worst days of the Colombian
:21:43. > :21:52.violence, and the second one, the match this week, that reminds us of
:21:53. > :21:55.the extent to which Colombia is feeling proud and feeling hopeful of
:21:56. > :21:58.a country that it is still violent and has many problems, but
:21:59. > :22:07.nevertheless, things can be different. This is a time when
:22:08. > :22:12.people are talking about a peace process? Yes, and obviously, the
:22:13. > :22:19.violence in the 1990s, this is part of all that, and Colombia is trying
:22:20. > :22:23.to learn from that experience to not forget what happened in those days,
:22:24. > :22:29.but to show that Colombia is a new country, to a certain extent, a
:22:30. > :22:36.different country. Can Colombia beat Brazil? Colombia is extremely
:22:37. > :22:41.hopeful that they can keep being a surprise in this World Cup. Colombia
:22:42. > :22:45.is paralysed by football now, it is basically the only thing the
:22:46. > :22:49.Columbians are talking about, and I cannot start to imagine how they
:22:50. > :22:53.will feel if Colombia managed to achieve what many people think is
:22:54. > :23:05.impossible and that is to eliminate the host nation of the World Cup.
:23:06. > :23:07.We'll finish on tennis, with Andy Murray who's finished
:23:08. > :23:10.at the tennis, at the Wimbledon championship, that is.

:23:13. > :23:15.Today his fortunes have turned around dramatically.
:23:16. > :23:26.Let's go over to our Sports reporter John Watson.
:23:27. > :23:44.He lost to Grigor Dimitrov, a man seeded a lot higher than him. The
:23:45. > :23:49.defending champion admitted that he worked a bit harder on court, tried
:23:50. > :23:55.a little harder to get Grigor Dimitrov to make some more mistakes.
:23:56. > :24:02.We have seen two huge upsets in the last two days, the first was Rafael
:24:03. > :24:10.Nadal going out to a player ranked 144 in the world, the young
:24:11. > :24:17.Australian, and today, Grigor Dimitrov knocking at Andy Murray.
:24:18. > :24:22.The younger players are looking to be coming through. Andy Murray will
:24:23. > :24:28.return to the hard court in the United States, looking to return to
:24:29. > :24:35.action as soon as possible, but it is a huge upset as far as Andy
:24:36. > :24:40.Murray is concerned. Novak Djokovic, he was in action today, he would
:24:41. > :24:47.move to the semifinals, it was quite a tough match for him over Marin
:24:48. > :24:50.Cilic, but we will not see the top four seed competing in the
:24:51. > :24:55.semifinals, Novak Djokovic is through, Roger Federer is through,
:24:56. > :25:01.the seven times Wimbledon champion, he remains on course for a record
:25:02. > :25:06.eighth Wimbledon final. We will see who will make up the final spot in
:25:07. > :25:11.the semifinals, the 19-year-old from Australia, he is up against Milos
:25:12. > :25:18.Raonic at the moment, there into their fourth set, it depends on who
:25:19. > :25:21.goes through from that match. Tell us about Andy Murray?s diagnosis of
:25:22. > :25:28.his own performance, he had to go in front of the cameras immediately and
:25:29. > :25:31.explain himself. Yes, it is always very difficult coming off to face
:25:32. > :25:36.the cameras immediately, but he was very honest in his assessment of how
:25:37. > :25:40.he played. He wished that he had worked a bit harder in forcing
:25:41. > :25:44.Grigor Dimitrov to make some mistakes. The nature of the defeat,
:25:45. > :25:50.it was almost as if nobody would really expect him to go out in
:25:51. > :25:54.straight sets as he did, and perhaps he could have pushed harder against
:25:55. > :25:58.Grigor Dimitrov, but as it is, Andy Murray will have to think long and
:25:59. > :26:03.hard about his performance here at Wimbledon. We had lots of home
:26:04. > :26:08.support, but it is difficult to try and retain your title. Out of
:26:09. > :26:11.21st-time winners, only four have gone on to defend their title the
:26:12. > :26:16.following year. That would show how hard it would be on Andy Murray, but
:26:17. > :26:20.with that home environment and playing Grigor Dimitrov, Grigor
:26:21. > :26:22.Dimitrov has made it this far in a Grand Slam, so a big disappointment
:26:23. > :26:30.for Andy Murray. Don't forget you can keep
:26:31. > :26:33.across all the latest action There you'll find all
:26:34. > :26:36.the match stats and analysis on the quarter final matches,
:26:37. > :26:50.including Andy Murray's shock exit. A reminder of the top story, Nicolas

:27:01. > :27:09.Good evening, tomorrow, a change on the way, for many of us, cloudy, but
:27:10. > :27:14.bright and also an increasing breeze across the Atlantic, so fresh. In
:27:15. > :27:16.the next few days, ferries weather fronts coming in this direction, so
