:01:17. > :01:22.It comes as ministers from across Europe have been in emergency talks
:01:23. > :01:26.trying to work out a coordinated response to the Iraq crisis.
:01:27. > :01:31.The British government said it would consider favourably any request
:01:32. > :01:35.from the Kurds for arms to push back Islamic State fighters who've
:01:36. > :01:42.Britain would join France and the United States in supplying arms to
:01:43. > :01:45.the Kurds, who are also struggling with a massive influx of refugees.
:01:46. > :01:51.It's thought 200,000 people are now in refugee camps
:01:52. > :01:53.in Kurdish-controlled Iraq and in parts of Syria.
:01:54. > :01:56.Our Correspondent Paul Wood has travelled to Syria
:01:57. > :02:16.This camp in Syria is the first place of century for thousands of
:02:17. > :02:23.years ED refugees. People walked 40 miles in 50 degrees heat to get
:02:24. > :02:32.here, across mountain and desert. -- Yazidis refugees. This camp has
:02:33. > :02:38.swollen to 15,000 people. Patriotic music drifts across the camp. We
:02:39. > :02:44.have heard our women screaming, says the song. Do not be afraid, we will
:02:45. > :02:49.defend this land and for get -- defend our honour. The song is an
:02:50. > :02:55.attempt to recruit among the Yazidis refugees. I know
:02:56. > :02:58.attempt to recruit among the Yazidis because I grew up in the mountains.
:02:59. > :03:04.I will go to my village and where ever I find the Islamic state I will
:03:05. > :03:09.kill them. They have captured our women and they are selling them, I
:03:10. > :03:15.will go to free my people, I will go to protect my land. The Kurdish
:03:16. > :03:20.forces will find a lot of volunteers in refugee camps like this. Any new
:03:21. > :03:25.recruits will be going up against battle hardened veterans and the jet
:03:26. > :03:28.had these are very well equipped and they have weapons and ammunition
:03:29. > :03:32.they captured from the Iraqi forces. Even with air support from
:03:33. > :03:38.the West the Kurdish forces will have a long and difficult task to
:03:39. > :03:44.recapture the towns and villages that these people came from. The
:03:45. > :03:49.Kurdish military have begun a training programme to get a army
:03:50. > :03:54.capable of defeating the jet had these. We did not choose this war,
:03:55. > :03:59.he says, but we have no choice to fight. The Yazidis people our our
:04:00. > :04:04.people and if we had not confronted the Islamic State there would have
:04:05. > :04:09.been a genocide. Just over the border into Iran a brand-new camp is
:04:10. > :04:14.being built for displaced Yazidis. The camp is better than what greeted
:04:15. > :04:18.them when they first fled into Syria but it is another depressing sign
:04:19. > :04:33.that there will be no quick end to this crisis. Thank you very much for
:04:34. > :04:39.I am joined by Dr Salah Al-Shaikhly, coming to speak to us.
:04:40. > :04:45.the former Iraqi ambassador to Britain.
:04:46. > :04:51.What are these people calling for? For a couple of years they have been
:04:52. > :04:55.demanding to be part of a decision-making process. Their
:04:56. > :05:01.complaint was that a decision was taken in Baghdad totally separate
:05:02. > :05:05.from the community. We have just had an election and all communities have
:05:06. > :05:11.elected their own representative to Parliament. I think number one with
:05:12. > :05:15.the new Prime Minister is a very intelligent and pragmatic person and
:05:16. > :05:20.he needs to consult the people who have been elected to Parliament and
:05:21. > :05:23.who have good representation in parliament of Sunni blocks and I am
:05:24. > :05:28.sure he will consult with the appropriate tribal leaders, but I
:05:29. > :05:39.must sound a word of caution. We need to be very careful about this,
:05:40. > :05:43.the Prime Minister needs to widen his advisories beyond the close
:05:44. > :05:48.circles that he is at present dealing with. Put it into context
:05:49. > :05:52.for us, how significant is it for these Sunni tribal leaders to say
:05:53. > :05:59.they are considering working with Haider al-Abadi. It is significant.
:06:00. > :06:04.They are not shying away from participating in the process. They
:06:05. > :06:07.are saying they want to participate and unfortunately previously they
:06:08. > :06:12.were barred from participating and accused of all sorts of things such
:06:13. > :06:17.as harbouring terrorists and being incubators for terrorism. They
:06:18. > :06:23.cannot except that because these people had been tried and proven to
:06:24. > :06:31.be good nationalists. During the Al-Qaeda surge, they did help in
:06:32. > :06:35.restraining Al-Qaeda until they diminished to nothing. These are
:06:36. > :06:41.patriots who actually want to work with the government for the national
:06:42. > :06:47.interest. Why did Haider al-Abadi when the previous man was in power,
:06:48. > :06:53.why did he not try to influence them to be more inclusive? If you follow
:06:54. > :06:58.the news you will find that the previous Prime Minister had a close
:06:59. > :07:03.circle of people on whom he depended for advice. This is really one of
:07:04. > :07:10.the problem is why everybody wanted a change of leadership. Hyder al
:07:11. > :07:13.Mahdi was a chairman for another parliamentary committee and
:07:14. > :07:18.consequently he was concentrating on his work. -- Haider al-Abadi. I
:07:19. > :07:25.think the situation is now very different and the country is facing
:07:26. > :07:31.a huge problem with ISIS and then the occupation of one third of
:07:32. > :07:38.Iraq. We now have the U repair in union saying that member states can
:07:39. > :07:43.help to arm the Kurds. -- the European Union. Are you happy with
:07:44. > :07:49.that and the arrival of an autonomous Kurdish military? This is
:07:50. > :07:52.good news. I have no fear of an autonomous Kurdish region because
:07:53. > :07:58.the Kurds have been good Iraqis. They willing in 2003 came to Baghdad
:07:59. > :08:03.and they wanted to participate in the political process. They want to
:08:04. > :08:09.be autonomous? Eventually perhaps they do. If we had managed to solve
:08:10. > :08:13.the problem in 1918 we would not have this problem now. The problem
:08:14. > :08:20.is every single Iraqi government that came to power in Baghdad
:08:21. > :08:27.decided to put them down. These are a proud people. Of course they want
:08:28. > :08:32.their own national aspirations but nothing to do with whether or not
:08:33. > :08:38.they want to acquire arms from the European Union. They want to acquire
:08:39. > :08:43.arms to defend the borders that extend from Syria to Iran where
:08:44. > :08:48.there are pressuring -- where they are facing huge pressure from ISIS.
:08:49. > :08:52.Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. A lot more on our website
:08:53. > :08:54.as always. Now let us move on. Ukrainian officials are saying their
:08:55. > :08:56.artillery destroyed a significant part of a Russian armored column
:08:57. > :08:59.that is reported to have crossed Nato has condemned what it said was
:09:00. > :09:02.an incursion and Britain has summoned the Russian
:09:03. > :09:06.envoy over the reports. Meanwhile Ukrainian border guards
:09:07. > :09:08.have begun inspecting a convoy of more than 200 Russian trucks
:09:09. > :09:15.carrying aid to eastern Ukraine. The convoy is currently parked south
:09:16. > :09:32.of the city of Kamensk-Shakhtinski. David, a discrepancy over this
:09:33. > :09:37.armoured column. What is happening there? Well, the armoured column
:09:38. > :09:44.apparently moved into Ukraine from Russian territory late on Thursday
:09:45. > :09:49.night and this is not the first time we have heard from Western
:09:50. > :09:52.officials, from Ukrainian officials, saying that armoured vehicles are
:09:53. > :09:56.entering from Russia with Russian troops. It is the first time that
:09:57. > :10:02.Western journalists have witnessed and there were two Western
:10:03. > :10:06.journalists that saw armed personnel vehicles moving into Ukraine. The
:10:07. > :10:11.Ukrainians say they destroyed a significant portion of this column
:10:12. > :10:17.and this convoy. The Ukrainian president said this. The Russians
:10:18. > :10:21.deny that any column went into Ukraine and as a result they are
:10:22. > :10:26.denying that any column was destroyed but in return they are
:10:27. > :10:29.saying that the Ukrainians are trying to derail the humanitarian
:10:30. > :10:33.effort on purpose by escalating the fighting and this is causing a great
:10:34. > :10:37.deal of concern. We are expecting that the Foreign Minister is of
:10:38. > :10:41.Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France will be meeting in Berlin on Sunday
:10:42. > :10:45.to try and de-escalate this situation that seems to be rising in
:10:46. > :10:53.another upsurge, as we have seen before. Meanwhile the actual aid
:10:54. > :11:00.convoy is still on the border? That is absolutely right. There is some
:11:01. > :11:05.progress. The Ukrainian officials have come onto Russian territory,
:11:06. > :11:10.border guards and customs officials and they are supposed to start
:11:11. > :11:13.looking at the cargo and ultimately giving it approval. This does not
:11:14. > :11:17.necessarily mean that when the approval comes the trucks will be
:11:18. > :11:22.moving immediately onto Ukrainian territory. It should be said that
:11:23. > :11:27.Russian trucks will be moving into Ukraine, this is apparently the
:11:28. > :11:31.agreement. This cargo will be taken over by the Red Cross but the Red
:11:32. > :11:35.Cross say they need security guarantees for their own people
:11:36. > :11:40.before they give the green light. This is a very critical situation,
:11:41. > :11:45.the populations in eastern Ukraine are facing a humanitarian crisis and
:11:46. > :11:49.we are also seeing humanitarian aid coming from the Ukrainian side which
:11:50. > :11:50.will hopefully reach the civilian population soon. Thank you very
:11:51. > :11:53.much. The World Health Organisation says
:11:54. > :11:55.the scale of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa could be vastly
:11:56. > :11:57.underestimated. The official death toll has now
:11:58. > :12:00.risen to 1,145, however the real WHO says extraordinary measures
:12:01. > :12:05.are needed to tackle the epidemic. Our Health Correspondent Branwen
:12:06. > :12:24.Jeffreys has more details. Dealing with a health crisis in a
:12:25. > :12:28.popular situation like this is a huge challenge for the authorities.
:12:29. > :12:32.In bowl is deadly and contagious and there are fears it could spread
:12:33. > :12:36.easily from busy hubs like this, especially since that redbrick
:12:37. > :12:40.building is a hospital where the first victim was diagnosed and then
:12:41. > :12:44.died. The authorities have since introduced stringent measures to
:12:45. > :12:49.prevent the pirates from spreading. We have some of our officers who are
:12:50. > :12:55.screening and dedicated to reviewing the forms, already completed on
:12:56. > :13:01.board. We have somebody doing the observation and walking through the
:13:02. > :13:09.passengers and holding a hand-held digital infrared monitor to read the
:13:10. > :13:13.temperature. Anything beyond 30 Celsius is maybe indicative of the
:13:14. > :13:17.Ebola virus. The government is educating the public as it tries to
:13:18. > :13:23.contain the virus and keep it from spreading. One of Nigeria's
:13:24. > :13:27.favourite delicacies is this spicy roast meat. Normally this place
:13:28. > :13:30.would be teeming with customers but the government is watching the
:13:31. > :13:34.public -- warning the public to watch what they touch and eat. Much
:13:35. > :13:38.of this is beef and they are concerned it may have come into
:13:39. > :13:42.contact with bush meat that could be contaminated with the bowler virus.
:13:43. > :13:46.The lack of customers here could mean that the message is getting
:13:47. > :13:54.through to some. Nigerians are now changing their habits as the fear of
:13:55. > :13:58.the Ebola by risky than alert. I am a pharmacist and previously I did
:13:59. > :14:03.not use to work with gloves but in recent times I have had to do that
:14:04. > :14:07.because I have two protect myself. I come into contact with all sorts of
:14:08. > :14:11.people every day. The main concern is that such a deadly virus if not
:14:12. > :14:13.contained could spread easily and lead to a crisis in this densely
:14:14. > :14:16.populated city. Police in the US state of Missouri
:14:17. > :14:19.have named Darren Wilson as the police officer who shot dead an
:14:20. > :14:22.unarmed black teenager last weekend. The shooting of Michael Brown
:14:23. > :14:24.triggered several nights Ferguson police chief Thomas Jackson
:14:25. > :14:28.earlier refused to name the officer, By naming officer Wilson
:14:29. > :14:32.the authorities have met demands by protesters and civil liberty
:14:33. > :14:36.campaigners to identify him. They have released a surveillance
:14:37. > :14:38.video which shows Michael Brown and another man coming into
:14:39. > :14:45.confrontation with a man over a box of cigars. He is the prime suspect
:14:46. > :14:48.in an alleged robbery that occurred minutes before the shooting,
:14:49. > :14:54.describing him as being dressed in khaki shorts and a white T-shirt and
:14:55. > :14:56.a red baseball hat. The police have named the officer involved as Darren
:14:57. > :14:59.Wilson. Shayan Elahi is
:15:00. > :15:12.a civil rights attorney in Dallas. He is a Pakistani American
:15:13. > :15:15.and he joins me now through Skype. The release of this that each will
:15:16. > :15:23.inflame the situation which is already highly volatile. It may but
:15:24. > :15:28.the focus will remain the same, that another black teenager who was
:15:29. > :15:32.unarmed was shot by a police officer in broad daylight. It doesn't matter
:15:33. > :15:38.what this gentleman was doing beforehand. The whole idea that he
:15:39. > :15:41.was on armed and killed in his own neighbourhood. There is a systemic
:15:42. > :15:45.problem. A lot of people will distract from the issue to put the
:15:46. > :15:50.focus on this young man, just like they tried to do with another young
:15:51. > :15:57.man who was killed. But is where America goes wrong. Any to focus on
:15:58. > :16:04.the problem itself. What is the problem in your understanding? The
:16:05. > :16:08.problem is illustrated by the response in Missouri. Right after
:16:09. > :16:12.the death of Michael Brown, of course people will be upset and come
:16:13. > :16:19.out onto the street. The paramilitary response is completely
:16:20. > :16:22.symbolic of what has happened to the American police force and how it
:16:23. > :16:27.overreacts to every given situation. This is a problem that
:16:28. > :16:34.President Obama is ignoring in his second term in office. Is this an
:16:35. > :16:39.issue that the police are armed? A race issue? What is your
:16:40. > :16:44.understanding of it? There is a huge racial undertone to the way the
:16:45. > :16:48.police department behave with young black men in America. There is no
:16:49. > :16:53.question about that. The statistics back it up completely. Just this
:16:54. > :17:00.week, there was an on armed death in Dallas by the hand of a police
:17:01. > :17:04.officer, another black man. These things keep happening. Why? There
:17:05. > :17:10.was a problem. President Obama has a great opportunity to tie any help he
:17:11. > :17:26.gives and we know a lot of paramilitary equipment is given to
:17:27. > :17:31.the police by defence and... We have seen some of the problems, we have
:17:32. > :17:38.seen some of the riots and the amount of teargas and we have seen
:17:39. > :17:41.the situation dissolves somewhat with the way that the state police
:17:42. > :17:47.have come in. Is that the way forward? That is a Band-Aid. They
:17:48. > :17:53.have brought in this African-American race officer and
:17:54. > :18:00.put him in charge. That is really putting a Band-Aid on a deep wound.
:18:01. > :18:05.It is essentially even pandering, some would say. Even
:18:06. > :18:07.African-American police officers behaved badly with young
:18:08. > :18:14.African-American men and that is as distant Mick issue. You don't have
:18:15. > :18:19.to believe... Numbers don't lie. There are more on armed black males
:18:20. > :18:22.being killed in America by police officers than anyone else. Thank
:18:23. > :18:27.you. Clashes have broken out
:18:28. > :18:29.in the Pakistani city of Gujranwala after shots were fired
:18:30. > :18:32.at the car of Pakistani opposition His spokeswoman says his car was
:18:33. > :18:37.hit but Mr Khan was not injured. He was on his way to the capital
:18:38. > :18:40.Islamabad with a group of supporters to try and put pressure on Prime

:19:10. > :19:15.where Imran Khan is expected next couple of hours. He said off from
:19:16. > :19:21.the eastern city of Lahore yesterday for is bad. Earlier today, his
:19:22. > :19:31.convoy was passing through the city of Gujurat and did came under attack
:19:32. > :19:35.from a mob. There was panic. His supporters sought cover, baby Kelly
:19:36. > :19:41.aided and in the clashes, quite a few Biba were injured. -- and in the
:19:42. > :19:49.clashes, quite a few people were injured. We have talked to be blunt
:19:50. > :19:59.the ground, there was no evidence yet of shots being fired at him but
:20:00. > :20:05.after that incident, Imran Khan essentially switched. His convoy had
:20:06. > :20:10.been moving slowly, he moved into a bullet-proof vehicle and has been
:20:11. > :20:14.speeding his way to Islamabad. He is approaching the outskirts of
:20:15. > :20:21.Islamabad. He is expected in the next few hours. The plan is, when he
:20:22. > :20:28.gets here, they plan to hold a sit in an demand resignation from the
:20:29. > :20:38.Prime Minister Nass was Sheriff. -- as was Sharif. -- the Prime
:20:39. > :20:41.Minister. There is a lot of nervousness and uncertainty of what

:21:14. > :21:21.For this man, a prostate cancer diagnosis was a shock but the drug
:21:22. > :21:26.abiraterone has kept healthy and well enough to continue working.
:21:27. > :21:30.Life has not gone dramatically down. I have been able to keep things
:21:31. > :21:37.stable, enjoy family and working life and to carry on the way I have

:21:54. > :21:57.from prostate cancer. Last week, with the breast cancer drug, the NHS
:21:58. > :22:02.watchdog says this treatment fails to offer value for money. The
:22:03. > :22:07.company is asking for, it simply doesn't match that additional
:22:08. > :22:12.benefits that it brings. This is a general problem for mice macro at
:22:13. > :22:19.the moment with new cancer treatment. Every year, laboratories
:22:20. > :22:23.like this one diagnosed around 40,000 cases of prostate cancer
:22:24. > :22:30.across the UK. It is the most common form of the disease in men. As
:22:31. > :22:34.tested has improved, the disease has been spotted quicker so survival
:22:35. > :22:38.rates have soared in recent decades. But campaign groups say men deserve
:22:39. > :22:47.access to the best treatment. This is a fiasco. We have blame giving to
