The wife of the former US President Ronald Reagan has died. | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
Nancy Reagan was 94 and passed away from congestive heart failure. | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
She met her husband when they were both Hollywood actors. | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
And they shared more than five decades of marriage before | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
Nancy's support was a strong influence throughout her husbands | :01:13. | :01:21. | |
-- Nancy's support was a strong influence throughout her husband's | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
political career from Governor of California until he | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
Nancy Reagan died at her home in Los Angeles, | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
She had been my First Lady since long before the White House. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
It was a marriage made for the silver screen, | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
the partnership portrayed here in a political campaign | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
The romance began in Hollywood, they met as minor actors | :01:42. | :01:56. | |
But by the time her husband became President, he had served eight years | :01:57. | :02:06. | |
Nancy Reagan was ready for her starring role. | :02:07. | :02:17. | |
The adoring gaze a symbol of her loyalty and devotion. | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
Nancy Reagan's time as First Lady was controversial, | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
as she redecorated the White House and splurged on gowns and banquets. | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
She was accused of interfering in staff matters and was ridiculed | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
for consulting an astrologer, apparently to decide | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
But she was driven by something much more down to earth. | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
A determination to protect our husband. | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
It could make her look overbearing, like this prompt when he lost his | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
(Doing everything we can.) Doing everything we can. | :02:52. | :03:02. | |
But when it turned out that Ronald Reagan's memory was was due | :03:03. | :03:07. | |

to illness, sinking slowly into the darkness of Altzheimer's, | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
the nation began to understand and sympathise. | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
Each day brings another reminder of this very long goodbye. | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
At President Reagan's state funeral in 2004, | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
it felt like the world was intruding on a poignant, private farewell. | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
Nancy Reagan will be buried next to her husband, | :03:32. | :03:40. | |
here at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California. | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
A short time ago, her step-son released this message. | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
"Nancy," he said, "is once again with the man she loved." | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
A short time ago I spoke to Robert McFarlane. | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
He worked with Ronald Reagan and knew Nancy well. | :03:56. | :04:14. | |
She was a woman of grace and, but with absolute devotion to her | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
husband and our country's principles. A great help to him and | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
in political settings, foreign or domestic, a real charmer, a | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
beautiful woman, with phenomenal rise -- pays and at the end of the | :04:33. | :04:43. | |
day, it was asking what she could do, to be more supportive. She was a | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
profound influence on President Reagan, his eight years and | :04:51. | :04:59. | |
supporting him under any and all circumstances, but a significant | :05:00. | :05:00. | |
source of strength. I visited Tower four months ago and | :05:01. | :05:14. | |

tributes to the former First Lady. In a statement, he acknowledged her | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
charitable work on Alzheimer's disease, from which her husband | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
suffered, and says "she had Former US President, | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
George Bush says his wife and he "are saddened by the loss | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
and that her influence on the White House was | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
complete and lasting." Former US President Jimmy Carter, | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
from whom Ronald Reagan took over in the White House, says "America | :05:47. | :05:49. | |

giving their reaction on twitter. Republican Presidential candidate, | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
Donald Trump, called her "an amazing woman and the wife of | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
a truly great President." His rival, Ted Cruz, | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
says "she will be remembered for her deep passion for the nation | :06:06. | :06:07. | |

of Nancy Reagan who has died In Iraq, a suicide bombing | :06:24. | :06:33. | |
at a crowded checkpoint has killed The "Islamic State" group has | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
claimed responsibility. It happened near the city of Hilla | :06:41. | :06:48. | |
which is about 100 kilometres south Iraqi security officials say a fuel | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
tanker blew up at a checkpoint Our correspondent Jonathan | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Beale is in Baghdad. From what we can see, it looks like | :06:56. | :07:08. | |
a suicide truck bomb, and some reports say it was a fuel tanker, | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
set off at about lunchtime locally and as you can see, it caused huge | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
devastation. It would have been a time of day when cars were | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
bumper-to-bumper at checkpoints. It completely destroyed that | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
checkpoint, killing a number of Iraqi security forces they are doing | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
the checks but also civilians, including, as we understand, a baby. | :07:38. | :07:47. | |
This is a tactic being used by Islamic State, who have claimed | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
responsibility for this attack. This is not an area where they hold | :07:53. | :08:03. | |
ground. What we think they -- what we think is calling on is that as | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
Islamic State feels the pressure from Iraqi security forces and the | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
coalition here strikes, they will go for a softer targets and | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
particularly the will call for areas trying to deliberately kill | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
civilians. That seems to have been what happened here. It brings | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
attention to their cause and it is a witty for Islamic -- Iraqi security | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
forces here who believe they are making progress coming gaining | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
cloned, but it is very difficult to combat this kind of attack. | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
At least 25 people have died after a boat carrying migrants | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
capsized while crossing from Turkey to Greece. | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
Hundreds more have been rescued from other vessels trying to make | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
The latest deaths come as EU leaders prepare for major summit in Brussels | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
focusing on how to deal with the crisis. | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
From the Greek island of Lesbos our correspondent | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
Midway between Turkey and the Greek islands, | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
the coast guard is picking people up from small boats. | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
338 migrants, from many different nations. | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
We didn't eat no food for two days, two nights. | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
The fate of these people is once again going to be discussed | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
One suggestion is to only let Syrians proceed from here. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
That could mean that in the near future these people | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
will basically be sorted, Syrians will be allowed some sort | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
of refuge, but everybody else will be set back across the water | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
to Turkey on a journey they have just risked their lives on. | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
The migrants at this hilltop camp nearby are non-Syrian. | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
Desperate people, making desperate threats. | :10:00. | :10:00. | |
If they try to make you go back to Turkey, what do you think | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
I will not go back, I will jump in the sea or hang | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
If they forced me to go back in Turkey or Pakistan, | :10:08. | :10:16. | |
I'm not going back because it is a matter of my life. | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
Back on the beach this afternoon, we found another raft arriving. | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
Doctors and other aid workers were quickly on the scene to get | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
Further south, a similar boat sank just off the Turkish coast. | :10:30. | :10:43. | |
There were a few survivors, but the death toll in the sea has | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
This sea is extremely dangerous, it has been perilous, | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
not just this year where over 400 people have lost their lives, | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
but in the last alone, in the Mediterranean, year, | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
It's an extremely taxing and shocking experience. | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
For many of them it is the first time they are in the sea. | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
For now, these people are ashore and safe in Europe. | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
The overtures from Brussels are all about somehow sending | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
many of them back to Turkey and closing down these routes. | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
Danny Savage, BBC News, Lesbos. | :11:27. | :11:27. | |
An Iranian court has convicted a businessman of corruption | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
Babak Zanjani was accused of embezzling nearly | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
His death sentence follows a crackdown on corruption ordered | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
A lawyer for Mr Zanjani says an appeal will be lodged | :11:39. | :11:48. | |
Amir Azimi from BBC Persian's been telling me more | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
Many people follow the news and the trial over the past few months. | :11:53. | :12:07. | |
Also, many expected a very harsh sentence because it has been the | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
case in the past we have had a few similar cases over the past few | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
decades that people have been tried and sentenced to death and some of | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
them have been hanged for the same accusations. Is this a fight against | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
corruption or an opportunity to settle political scores, do you | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
think? The government says this is a fate against corruption. This man | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
was arrested a day or two after the president announced the will be | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
tough on corruption and they will tackle the corruption that is a | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
major issue in UserLand. But every time the government goes out and a | :12:47. | :12:57. | |
new one comes in, they accuse the previous government of all sorts of | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
corruption and a few people who are not particularly connected to the | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
Iranian press -- politicians but have had relations with them are | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
tried and some of them are faced with a long prison sentence or even | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
death. Some people say it is political. Then if you see it as | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
tackling corruption. -- very few. Stay with us on BBC | :13:17. | :13:22. | |

Champions League places tightens. The Conservative Mayor | :13:39. | :13:49. | |
of London Boris Johnson -- who's campaigning to leave the EU -- | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
says reform on the key issue of sovereignty is not achievable | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
if Britain stays in. He told the BBC the government had | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
been unable to deliver fundamental change and he said he'd been happy | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
with a reform deal that would have returned powers of sovereignty | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
from Brussels to the UK. But he revealed government lawyers | :14:04. | :14:05. | |

after John Isner defeated Bernard Tomic. | :18:04. | :18:04. | |
But there are some bad vibes in the Aussie camp right now | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
with Tomic, overheard during a changeover questioning | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
Nick Kyrgios's excuse of being sick, and missing the tie. | :18:10. | :18:11. | |
Tomic was heard saying "that's twice he's done it" and "If he plays" | :18:12. | :18:14. | |

Family and friends of those on board the missing Malaysian Arirlines | :19:02. | :19:10. | |
flight MH370 have held a remembrance service to mark the second | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
They've urged the authorities not to give up the search | :19:13. | :19:25. | |
for the aircraft which vanished whilst travelling from | :19:26. | :19:27. | |
Another piece of debris that may have come from the plane was found | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
From Kuala Lumpur our South Asia correspondent Jonathan Head reports. | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
They didn't want this to be a sombre occasion. | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
Rather a celebration of the memories of those they have lost. | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
But there was a serious message but hides this event, | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
a plea to the authorities in Malaysia and | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
elsewhere not to stop looking for the missing plane. | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
The disappearance of MH370 is an astonishing mystery | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
with troubling implications for the aviation industry. | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
More than that it is a tragedy for the | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
families of those on board who have been unable to grieve, | :20:09. | :20:10. | |
And their great fear as the months passed by their plight will be | :20:11. | :20:20. | |
The search continues over a huge stretch of the southern | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
Indian Ocean where it is believed the missing airliner came down. | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
But that is due to end in three months' time. | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
So far the only trace of MH370 has-been this piece of a wing found | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
And possibly this fragment found off the coast of Mozambique. | :20:39. | :20:49. | |
It is flimsy evidence, suggesting the plane did crash | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
in the sea, but telling the families nothing about how and why it went | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
For the first year and a half I would always | :20:58. | :21:08. | |
expect to see my mother in the house, sitting | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
I still have those thoughts, those feelings, I still miss her. | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
But at the same time I have not come to an acceptance that I will never | :21:15. | :21:19. | |

Let's return to our top story now, Nancy Regan, the wife of former US | :21:34. | :21:45. | |
The former First Lady was an ambassador for | :21:46. | :22:02. | |
the Ronald Reagan Foundation and Library. | :22:03. | :22:03. | |
Joining me from the foundation is John Heubusch. | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
Despite her age, I understand she continued to campaign right up | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
Absolutely. You're right. At 94, she was a little frail. In the past | :22:12. | :22:27. | |
year, we haven't seen her as many public events but mentally she was a | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
joy because she was at 110%. I talk to ten days go on the phone and was | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
always a delight to talk to our. She was with her in that sense -- she | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
was with ours in that sense, right up until the end. | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
in work with Stem cell research, a decsion she didn't take lightly | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
and put her at odds with some in the Republican party. | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
Yes, it did. But she still in the face of some terrible diseases and | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
one that had a great effect on her husband, but also she took up many | :23:01. | :23:10. | |
causes, including press Qatar and other cancer researchers, so she | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
felt that if there was any clues were keys that could be fun to | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
listen the suffering of people with his dreaded diseases that we should | :23:18. | :23:18. | |
find ways to help them. Her views weren't always | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
on the side of public opinion. I'd have to say that she wasn't a | :23:21. | :23:33. | |
public policy maker in the United States. She did not advise President | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
Reagan on foreign policy or tax policy or things like that. Why | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
should we was was a solid power -- power of a spot -- power of support | :23:44. | :23:54. | |
for President Regan. I think she took the brunt of any criticism | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
involving public decision and he just stood by his side. | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
She'll be buried, next to her husband at the Foundation. | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
That is quite a question. But a little personal, but I have a bed of | :24:05. | :24:22. | |
that dreaded disease on my own I have been dating for three years and | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
my last phone call with horror was hardest trying to make me feel good | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
and bought me up about it and it was her typical pressing the foreword to | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
hang in there and she just displayed all sorts of warmth and grace, as | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
she always does and it was a privilege to be able to talk to are | :24:48. | :25:00. | |
as recently as I did. Will you be attending her funeral? Yes. I'm | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
involved in the planning of the event. There will be thousands of | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
people that would like to be there but they can't because they couldn't | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
all not fit them. The funeral will be by event -- invitation only. | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
Everyone that was to pay their respects will be able to do so in | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
the next few days. We will be making announcements as to when they can | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
come to the library and pay their respects. | :25:23. | :25:34. | |
What would be the few last word you had for her?" Britain you had your | :25:35. | :25:43. | |
eye lady, Margaret Thatcher, Nancy Reagan was never referred to as an | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
iron Lady. I would have to say to President Reagan, that really must | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
have been what she was to him in so many ways because there was no | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
greater protector, supporter or defender of the President Reagan. | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
I'm so sorry to interrupt but thank you for being with us on BBC world | :26:05. | :26:05. | |
