'We're pretty sure we got him' - The Islamist militant known | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
as Jihadi John is targeted in a US drone strike. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
The Pentagon says the death of Mohammed Emwazi would be | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
We are reasonably certain that we killed the target that we intended | :00:18. | :00:26. | |
At the same time, Kurdish fighters regain control of | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
the strategic Iraqi town of Sinjar which had been held by Islamic State | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
A rock star style appearance by Indian Prime Minister Narendra | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
Modi at London's Wembley Stadium - where thousands have gathered to | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
And we meet some of Russia's top athletes who - as | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
their country faces allegations of state sponsored doping - are already | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
We need to fight doping, but that doesn't mean the whole team should | :00:58. | :01:16. | |
suffer. I don't think all athletes should be banned. | :01:17. | :01:27. | |
He became the face of a gruesome propaganda campaign by the Islamic | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
State group - today US sources say there is a "high degree of | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
certainty" that Mohammed Emwazi, known as Jihadi John, has been | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
killed in an airstrike. The Kuwaiti-born British militant had | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
appeared in several videos of the beheadings of hostages. British | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
Prime Minister David Cameron said the UK had been working with the US | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
over the strike. Here's our Security Correspondent Frank Gardner. | :01:54. | :02:05. | |
Tucker 's officials said suspected associate had been detained in | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
Turkey. Mohammed Emwazi, dubbed Jihadi | :02:11. | :02:14. | |

journalist. Another American journalist, Steven Sotloff and | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
a US aid worker who Today, David Cameron announced a | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
joint operation involving British and American drones had probably | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
killed This was a | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
combined effort and the contribution | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
of both our forces was essential. He is a barbaric murder and he was | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
shown in the sickening videos with the beheading of British aid | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
workers. He posed an ongoing series on to innocent civilians, not only | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
in Syria, but around the world. The airstrike on rising took place | :03:13. | :03:23. | |
a night in Syria. It's believed he was tracked | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
from the air. The US unmanned drones a fired a | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
precision guided missile at the vehicle is thought to contain | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
Mohammed Emwazi, and another than a year trying to pin down his | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
location. Verifying his death has been taking some time. We are | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
reasonably certain we killed the target that we intended to kill, | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
Jihadi John. It will take some time to be able to finally say we have | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
had success. the Kurdish offensive has | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
begun pushing an Islamic state forces out of the town of Sinjar | :04:03. | :04:12. | |
captured last year. Mohammed Emwazi, was never a front-line soldier. His | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
job was killing prisoners. Now, if the former London student's death | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
is confirmed, there will be some who regret can never be | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
brought to trial. The White House says families of | :04:23. | :04:39. | |
victims were contacted before the dawn straight. The mother of victim | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
James Foley gave her reaction. It saddens me that here in America | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
here we are celebrating and the killing of this deranged, | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
pathetic young man. Had | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
the circumstances been different, Jim probably would have befriended | :04:58. | :05:07. | |
him and tried to help him. It is just so sad that | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
our precious resources have been concentrated to seek revenge if you | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
will, or kill this man when if a bit of them had been utilised to save | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
our young Americans, that's what our Protecting our citizens | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
and the vulnerable, Not trying to seek revenge | :05:29. | :05:38. | |
and bomb and... Jim would have been devastated | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
that with the whole thing. He wanted to know how | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
he could figure a why. For you there was no sense | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
of justice in this strike? And I think we have to be careful | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
as an American media not to glorify David Cameron said it was an act of | :06:04. | :06:36. | |
self-defence, but how much of a blow with his death be too Islamic | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
state? As a battlefield, and, he was | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
utterly irrelevant, but as the public face, the recruiting | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
Sergeant, the celebrity, even, of Islamic state he was very important. | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
His appearance in those grotesque videos were we saw those hostages | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
murdered is what changed American policy towards Islamic state. The | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
other striking thing is how closely they had been monitoring him for the | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
past few days. We have also learnt that a British drone was also | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
involved in the operation, there were three drones, it was an | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
American drawl that fired but the British were also involved. Barack | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
Obama said a year ago the mission was to degrade and destroy Islamic | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
state. Destroy? Not yet, but it seems to be underway. | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
There's been another set-back for Islamic State, this time across the | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
border in northern Iraq. Kurdish officials say their forces have | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
taken the strategic town of Sinjar from the militant group. It was | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
seized by Islamic State fighters 15 months ago. Local televison has | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
shown pictures of a giant Kurdish flag being raised to mark the | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
recapture of the town, and celebratory gunfire has been heard. | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
The head of Kurdistan Regional Security Council says the battle | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
would pave the way for future successes. | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
Without doubt, any victory in any area will have a big impact on | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
achieving victory in the remaining areas. The liberation of Sinjar will | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
have a big impact on liberating morsel to stop -- Mosul. | :08:11. | :08:20. | |
Our correspondent Jim Muir is travelling with the Kurdish forces, | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
and we'll be bringing you his first-hand report | :08:24. | :08:24. | |
in the coming hours. Tens of thousands of people, mainly | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
British Indians or Indians resident in the UK, are at Wembley stadium in | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
London for a speech by the visiting Indian Prime Minister, Narendra | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
Modi. A massive fireworks display is planned for the rally which many are | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
comparing to a rock concert. At the stadium, security is tight; all the | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
food is vegetarian. Wembley today was a family day out | :08:42. | :08:54. | |
and a political rally all rolled into one. Narendra Modi is a | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
controversial figure back home, but listening to this audience you would | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
not know it. Why are you here today? Too sure how important it is | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
to me as a young person in Britain to be Indian and what it means to be | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
Indian and understand a bit more about our nation and culture. I want | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
to support Modi because he is doing a good job. He has raised the entire | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
national image of India to a high degree. It is an honour to see | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
someone from my background come to the UK and embrace diversity. With | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
the air are heavy with feel-good factor, you warm up act 's went down | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
well. The biggest roar of the afternoon was inevitably preserved | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
for Narendra Modi himself. His British counterpart, with whom ?10 | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
billion of trade deals have been done, played host. But it was | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
Narendra Modi who stole the show. This is a historic day. You are the | :09:57. | :10:19. | |
heartbeat. Earlier ended day, a more sedate encounter, as Modi had lunch | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
with the Queen. For a man who in the last decade was banned from the UK | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
it is quite a turnaround in fortunes. Some of the controversy | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
still sticks to him. Protests have dogged his visit. Critics say he | :10:36. | :10:38. | |

rocks that setting for the leader of an emerging power. He could have | :11:04. | :11:04. | |
wished for nothing more. Africa's most populous nation - | :11:05. | :11:13. | |
Nigeria - has sworn in a new cabinet - more than six months | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
after its presidential election. One of the biggest challenges facing | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
President Mohammudu Buhari is defeating the Islamic insurgency | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
in the north east of the country. Boko Haram militants have killed | :11:22. | :11:31. | |
thousands and more than two million Our correspondent - | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
Martin Patience - has gained rare access to the city of Maiduguri | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
at the heart of the insurgency. The children grab what | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
respite they can. Maiduguri is traumatised | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
by a brutal insurgency. It markets bombed so frequently that | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
people shop late to avoid attacks. Every so often, | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
you catch a military convoy heading out to the countryside where | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
the insurgency is at its strongest. These young men know that | :12:01. | :12:13. | |
violence first-hand. They are the sons | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
of Baker's killed by Boko Haram. There village was attacked | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
by the insurgents and they fled with Now, | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
they have turned to their fathers' They have been taken in by this man, | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
a baker in the city. TRANSLATION: | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
I had to help, he said. What happened to them | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
could happen to me. Among his recruits, Mohammed, | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
who can't forget the morning TRANSLATION: | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
We were woken up by gunshots. At first, | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
I thought it was the military. But then I realised it was | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
an attack. We all ran from the house | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
in different directions. It was only | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
when I reached the city that I It is just past dawn, | :12:59. | :13:09. | |
and the curfew has ended in the city and, outside the bakery, crowds Stat | :13:10. | :13:20. | |
of children have gathered, among int Then they along with their families | :13:21. | :13:36. | |
at risk are going hungry. This is what desperation does. You fight to | :13:37. | :13:46. | |
be fed. They have bought the death and destruction and its pursuit of | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
an Islamic state. It gained international notoriety after | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
kidnapping more than 200 schoolgirls, shown here after they | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
were forced to convert to Islam. The insurgents killed or kidnapped | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
anyone they consider an unbeliever. That includes this woman and her | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
three daughters who fled their village before they could be | :14:11. | :14:20. | |
captain. We were sitting -- this lot are you, when you're eating food | :14:21. | :14:28. | |

safe to return to normal this insurgency will not be over. | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
Dozens of judges in Ghana are being investigated following the release | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
of a documentary by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas. | :14:42. | :14:51. | |
of a documentary by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
The film captured the judges on tape allegedly taking bribes. | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
Over 30 judges and 170 judicial officers were | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
implicated in the country's biggest corruption scandal. | :14:59. | :14:59. | |
Today the undercover reporter Anas has been speaking to the | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
BBC's Sammy Darko for the first time since the judicial scandal broke. | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
I must put on record that I have triggered the necessary | :15:08. | :15:17. | |
constitutional processes that would ensure that if these judges are | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
guilty they are properly dealt with in accordance with the law. I have | :15:23. | :15:32. | |
triggered the process. My commitment is to the Constitution. My second | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
commitment, and perhaps most important commitment is to the | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
people of Ghana. The work I did it for the people of Ghana. I trust in | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
what I did and I felt it would be unfair to keep that information to | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
myself and that's why I made it public. I am confident of the | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
investigations I have done. The judges on the gods in the guise of | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
men. If anything happens, everybody was Mac last resort is in the court. | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
I have done a lot of investigation across the African continent and I | :16:13. | :16:20. | |
think Africa has been, the problems in Africa, are a result of the | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
problems you have with our judiciary and if we will be courageous enough | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
to stand toe to toe and investigate some of these issues in our | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
judiciary am sure Africans can only have a better life. This mask your | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
wedding all the time has become symbolic. You will find many people | :16:40. | :16:49. | |
and Ghana winning this mask. Why can't we see your face? Over the | :16:50. | :17:05. | |
years, I have had this symbol on. I don't take it off because it helps | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
when it comes to my anonymity. Are you ready to sit my face? We really | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
want to see your face. And going to do it gradually. This is my hat. And | :17:17. | :17:35. | |
then... I paid off... Bash -- I take off my hat, my beads, and. For those | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
who want to see my face, this is my face. You said you wanted to see my | :17:44. | :18:08. | |
face, so I have given you my face. So, you see, you never know what you | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
will find. For me the important thing is focus. It is not about a | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
mask, it is about all of us putting our hands together and ensuring we | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
have a better continent. I think that anonymity has always been my | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
secret weapon and I have always used it to the benefit of society. | :18:32. | :18:42. | |
Police in Germany say they have found the remains of at least eight | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
babies in an apartment in the southern state of Bavaria. | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
The remains were discovered in the small town of Wallenfels, | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
near the Czech border, in what could be one of the country's worst | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
Forensic investigators are trying to establish whether | :18:54. | :18:55. | |
Police are trying to interview the previous occupant of the apartment - | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
a 45 year old woman - as the possible mother of the dead babies. | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
Well, the BBC's Jenny Hill is in Wallenfels. | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
She says local people have reacted with shock and sadness to the news | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
that discovery. In a small town like this there is | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
considerable shock, and sadness, too, you can probably see behind me | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
that people who live here have come out this evening and placed lit | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
candles on the windowsill of the apartment block where, last night, | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
police were called by a member They found the bodies | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
of eight babies. In such a poor state of | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
decomposition that forensic experts who examined them today say it will | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
be several days before they are able to determine when and, more | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
importantly, how the children died. The police say that they are still | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
searching for a 45-year-old woman. She is believed to be the mother | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
of the infants. She is believed, too, to have | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
lived at the property behind me. The police say they have no idea | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
where she is but they are desperately trying to find her, | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
as they try to build a picture All day, forensic teams have been | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
in and out of the house, Medical experts have been examining | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
the babies' bodies but, at the moment, they haven't got any | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
conclusive results. Germany has, in recent years, | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
been shocked as a country, by a series of multiple | :20:15. | :20:24. | |
infanticides. We don't know what happened here | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
but some people fear that this could Just last year, | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
a German woman was convicted of killing two of her own babies | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
and hiding their bodies in freezer. In another case, | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
and there have been at least ten over the last ten years, perhaps one | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
of the worst of its kind, a woman killed nine of her own infants | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
and hid their bodies in flowerpots. The TV producer punched by | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
Jeremy Clarkson is suing the former Top Gear host - and the | :20:53. | :20:54. | |
BBC - for racial discrimination. The case brought by Oisin Tymon - | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
who is Irish - centres on "verbal abuse" that accompanied Clarkson's | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
physical attack in March. Clarkson was dropped by the BBC | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
following an internal inquiry. Clarkson lashed out after being told | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
there was no hot food available The BBC motoring show he presented | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
has millions of worldwide fans. World athletics chiefs are in talks | :21:14. | :21:23. | |
right now to decide whether Russia should be banned from all | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
international competition, which accused Russia of widespread | :21:27. | :21:40. | |
state sponsored doping, and Russia's elite athletes are | :21:41. | :21:50. | |
already training But it is a dream that is now | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
in doubt. Everyone I spoke to denied | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
using drugs to boost But claims of a doping culture | :22:02. | :22:03. | |
could still see them banned. Maxim's trainer says he was tested | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
constantly as soon as he began throwing well | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
and he was always clean. We need to fight doping, maybe, | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
but that doesn't mean I don't think all athletes | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
should be banned. And yet, in this German documentary, | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
it was former team-mates who claimed that athletes | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
and coaches were using drugs The investigation by the anti-doping | :22:23. | :22:24. | |
agency, Wada, that followed found a culture of winning at all | :22:25. | :22:34. | |
costs. Here, people question the word | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
of whistle-blowers and deny that any For every one of the athletes | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
