This is BBC world News today. The headlines: Oscar Pistorius learns | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
when he is due to be sentenced over the murder of his girlfriend Reeva | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
Steenkamp. The former Olympian removed his prosthetic limbs at his | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
sentencing hearing, in an effort to shore his vulnerability to the | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
court. Donald Trump suggests tighter gun laws for terror suspects in the | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
wake of the Orlando shootings. Police in Florida say that there's | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
now no doubt the two-year-old boy snatched by an alligator is dead and | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
they are searching for his body. And coming up, as police fired tear gas | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
at a crowd of football fans in Lyon, we have the latest from the Euro | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
2016 tournament, on and off the field. | :00:55. | :01:09. | |
Former Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius will be sentenced early | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
next month over the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. The | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
double amputee known as the Blade Runner faces a minimum of 15 years | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
in prison for shooting Reeva Steenkamp at his home in 2013. Today | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
at his sentencing hearing in Pretoria he removed his prosthetic | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
legs and hobbled on his stumps, as his defence told the court he was of | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
honourable man. But Terry Neill fired back saying pity will play no | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
role in the sentence. Karen Allen reports. | :01:45. | :02:03. | |
The defensive at present would break. In a carefully choreographed | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
moves, Oscar Pistorius is asked to remove his perfect -- remove his | :02:11. | :02:22. | |
prosthetic legs. As he shuffles around the court, his stumps | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
exposed. Gasps from the public gallery. Then tears as Oscar | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
Pistorius, his head bowed low, is positioned in front of the judge. | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
For what seems like a gesture of Mercy. Bubba Croft -- the | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
prosecution remained unmoved. Then came the trump card. Permission for | :02:44. | :02:54. | |
graphic photographs of the victim after her death to be made public. | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
It is what her father asked for, in an attempt to deter others. The | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
athlete fired four shots through a closed door. Oscar Pistorius was | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
found guilty of manslaughter. A year later, it was converted to murder on | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
appeal. That carries a minimum sentence of 15 years, and less | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
compelling circumstances can be shown. The athlete has been her | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
trade as a trigger-happy villain whose Morse is in doubt. Or other | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
vulnerable man, anxious and broken. It is up the judge to decide. Now | :03:34. | :03:42. | |
the world's most famous athlete will learn of his fate on 16 July. The | :03:43. | :03:51. | |
FBI has appealed for more information about the gunman who | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
opened fire in a Florida nightclub at the weekend, killing 49 people. | :03:58. | :04:11. | |
We need your help in getting a clear | :04:12. | :04:26. | |
peak of what the shirt are and why. There is information on our website, | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
including photographs and additional information. We want to hear from | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
any member of the public who has had any connection or involvement with | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
or any information about the shooting. No matter how big or small | :04:41. | :04:49. | |
you think that information may be. We want to hear from you. You have | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
come through for me and I appreciate that. We have received leads and | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
tips we have been following up on. Regardless of how small it | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
information may be, I still want to hear about it. The FBI stands ready | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
to receive your information. Speaking at the same press | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
conference, our US attorney said it was too early to speculate about | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
whether any charges would be brought regarding the mass shooting. The | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
wife of Omar Mateen has been questioned by police. She is | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
reported to have told officers she tried to talk to her husband out of | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
the attack. Donald Trump, the presumptive | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Republican nominee, says people on Terror watch lists should be | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
prevented from buying guns in the wake of the Orlando mass shooting. | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
On Twitter, he said he will meet the National Rifle Association about not | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
allowing people on the terror watch list or the no-fly list to buy guns. | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
It is a softening of his position after he told an NRA convention last | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
month that he would protect the constitutional right to bear arms. | :06:02. | :06:11. | |
Our correspondent is in or land for us. What did you make of that press | :06:12. | :06:20. | |
conference that we just heard? Well, I think people have been | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
speculating, act -- asking lots of questions about how the | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
investigation is proceeding, whether they have uncovered any new leads. | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
And speculation about what role did the wife of Omar Mateen play in all | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
of this. She said she knew that he had a desire for a jihadist | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
attention, but she didn't know what exactly he might do. All of this | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
still being explored. The press conference is still going on in time | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
my. The FBI have asked for more time and patience from everybody, so they | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
can continue to carry out what they described as a methodical | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
investigation. Earlier this week, I spoke to the Mayor of Orlando. He | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
said at some point as part of the process of these things, they would | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
want to try and recreate the crime scene as it happened. The crime as | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
it played out. That gives you an idea of the fact that this will take | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
a lot of time. That is why we didn't learn too much in terms of the | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
investigation and we were once again asked for patience and to think of | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
the families. The press conference also talked | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
about incidents against the Muslim community. It sounds like a | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
difficult time for Ms Lohan is in Orlando? | :07:40. | :07:49. | |
-- Muslims. If you think about the initial reaction to the attack, | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
there was a fork is about whether or not this was an act of terror linked | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
to IDS. In the days since then, the focus has shifted slightly and has | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
been more talk about this being a hate crime and an act against the | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
gay community, against the Hispanic community. A lot of questions raised | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
by this. Concerns amongst the Muslim community, but also amongst the | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
Hispanic and gay community. It has been amazing to see at the vigils | :08:21. | :08:31. | |
and attempt to unite. Tell us more about what we are | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
hearing from Donald Trump on gun control. He had some interesting | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
things to say. Perhaps a little bit different to his previous stance? | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
It is interesting because he has the endorsement of the NRA here in | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
America. He is coming out and saying he wants to try and push for some | :08:54. | :09:03. | |
changes to the law. He wants people on the no-fly list to possibly not | :09:04. | :09:14. | |
have access to guns. The Republican party here are supportive of the | :09:15. | :09:22. | |
right to bear arms. It will be interesting to see how the rest of | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
the Republican Party respond to Donald Trump's suggestion. He has | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
said that he intends to meet with the NRA later this week. | :09:32. | :09:40. | |
Thank you for your time. Two Russian gay men | :09:41. | :09:41. | |
after trying to leave a message over the Orlando shooting | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
The pair were held for three hours after being detained as they tried | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
to place a handwritten banner reading "Love Wins" at a makeshift | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
Following their release, they said police accused them | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
Human rights activists, and Western governments, | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
have in the past criticised the Russian authorities | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
over their treatment of the LGBT community. | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
Police in Florida are continuing to search for the body | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
of a two-year-old boy, who was snatched by | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
an alligator at a hotel near Disney World in Orlando. | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
The child was paddling in a lagoon, when he was dragged into the water. | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
Parts of Disney World have been sealed off. | :10:13. | :10:23. | |
All beaches in the resort have been closed. | :10:24. | :10:24. | |
It follows the dramatic disappearance of a two-year-old | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
boy as his family were relaxing by a lake here. | :10:27. | :10:34. | |
The child was in the water, about a foot in the water, | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
Father hears what is categorised as a splash. | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
He goes and sees what is happening and he finds that his child | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
basically is in the mouth of an alligator. | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
The father goes to try to grab the child but the alligator gets | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
the child, takes the child off into the water. | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
Search and Rescue teams have been at work both in the air | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
Trappers have caught and killed several alligators but have so far | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
Well, they first said they were optimistic, | :11:03. | :11:25. | |
but police now are fearing the worst. | :11:26. | :11:49. | |
On land and almost sea, the referendum clashes | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
Bob Geldof taking Nigel Farage on the Thames! | :11:52. | :12:00. | |
Crowds and campaigners shouting the odds, too. | :12:01. | :12:11. | |
The Chancellor with the man who used to do his job for Labour, | :12:12. | :12:20. | |
claiming if you voted to leave, a sudden deterioration | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
in the country's bank balance would mean whopping | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
You've got a situation today where you've got a Conservative | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
Chancellor and a Labour Chancellor telling people there will be a big | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
gap in the public finances, that you would have to raise | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
taxes and cut spending, and I tell you, there's | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
only one thing worse than passing a Budget like that, | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
it's not passing a Budget to solve the situation and sending | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
But there's been furious backlash from those wanting out. | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
When you have today even the Leave campaign saying there will be | :12:52. | :13:01. | |
an economic consequence, people need to know that before | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
He claims he would have no choice but to deliver such bad news. | :13:04. | :13:15. | |
Because he would have to fill a ?30 billion hole in the books. | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
But the chances of George Osborne standing on these steps | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
It would be almost impossible to get the support. | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
But the message that Number 11 wants to give is that if the country | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
votes to leave the EU, we will all pay one way or another. | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
There are nearly 70 Tories who want out of the EU and they have | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
One MP told me, smart guy, stupid move. | :13:40. | :13:48. | |
The Leave campaigners haven't made their views public | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
This is no longer just about the referendum | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
You have a Chancellor coming out and irresponsibly trying to scare | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
I've never seen anything like it in 24 years and he needs | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
to think again and stop this nonsense at once. | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
You are saying if he carried on like this, you would have to go? | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
What is responsible is for a Chancellor to say, | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
no matter what happens, Britain is good enough | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
But there could be huge turbulence if we vote to leave. | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
The Out campaign have talked about five new laws | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
It's almost like an alternative mini manifesto. | :14:26. | :14:35. | |
This campaign has gone way beyond the ordinary, | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
far past the usual insults and intrigue of politics, | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
and now with a significant chunk of Tory MPs saying | :14:43. | :14:44. | |
if the country votes out, they would try to oust | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
George Osborne, it feels like there's a coup in-waiting. | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
The police even got involved as campaigners weren't just messing | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
around on the river, but taking each other on. | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
There's little sign of apathy as this decision approaches. | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
Every awareness of how much it counts. | :15:02. | :15:10. | |
Police in Germany say a number of workers have been killed | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
after scaffolding collapsed on a motorway bridge | :15:14. | :15:14. | |
which was under construction in the south of the country. | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
Several people are believed to be buried under rubble. | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
Let's get more on this from our Berlin correspondent, Jenny Hill. | :15:21. | :15:28. | |
what more can you tell us? Well, the police have now said that | :15:29. | :15:36. | |
at least one person has been killed and a number of others endured. Six | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
of them seriously after this motorway bridge collapsed. It is | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
perhaps a little difficult to imagine. This bridge was under | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
construction, brand-new bridge designed to carry a motorway. By | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
huge construction site. The bridge itself is 20 metres high. Something | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
like 20 workers were actually on the construction site when a section of | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
that bridge collapsed, taking with it the scaffolding which was | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
attached to it, and some of the workers. The picture is emerging | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
from the scene are quite chaotic. Tangled metal and concrete lying on | :16:19. | :16:28. | |
the ground. About 150 emergency services workers there. It is not | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
clear how many if any people are trapped under the rubble. Are very | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
chaotic scene at the moment. There is some confusion as to how many | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
people may have died. The police are saying at least one person. The | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
Bavarian Interior Ministry said at least two. We expect the confusion | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
to die down over the coming hours. But just know it emergency workers | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
are combing the site, trying to find anyone still trapped under the | :17:01. | :17:01. | |
rubble. An alliance of opposition forces | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
in Syria is on the verge of taking back control of a key city | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
from the so-called A combined force of Kurdish, | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
Arab and Turkmen fighters, backed by US air support, | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
have encircled Men-bij Manbij The town is a crucial staging post | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
on the group's supply lines between the Turkish border | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
and its headquarters in Raqqa. Our correspondent Jiyar Gol | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
and producer Joe Inwood are the only international broadcasters to have | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
gained access to this area. It is a difficult drive to the front | :17:27. | :17:54. | |
line at Men-bij Manbij. Isis has retreated but left minds and deadly | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
truck spying. We have to do drive off-road. Now is silly and | :18:00. | :18:08. | |
democratic forces have encircled the city. Islamic State is under siege. | :18:09. | :18:17. | |
Men-bij Manbij is mainly Arab region. Arabs are fighting alongside | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
the Kurds. We are the gates of Men-bij Manbij. | :18:22. | :18:37. | |
God willing we will liberate our families from them. Coalition | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
fighters face a determined enemy, willing to die. This man was just | :18:45. | :18:53. | |
seconds away from detonating his suicide belt. Western special forces | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
are also on the court ground here. We caught a glimpse but were told to | :19:00. | :19:09. | |
stop filming. Coalition air strikes are taking out key Islamic State | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
targets. And this is what coalition air power can do. Here you can see | :19:15. | :19:22. | |
this as one of the ISPs and is. Bodies are laid everywhere. But even | :19:23. | :19:31. | |
behind the front lines, these people are not safe from Islamic State | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
fighters. We are interviewing when this happens. We are hearing sniper | :19:39. | :19:56. | |
bullets flying overhead. It seems the fight is intensifying. I can see | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
the smoke rising from the village. I think something happened in the | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
village. Although the militants are on the back foot, they are far from | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
out of the fight. And this makes these men nervous. They think they | :20:12. | :20:24. | |
are coming under attack from an ISO truck bomb. But a closer look | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
reveals it is civilians they are firing on. They have been living | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
under strict ISP control for two and a half years. This group has managed | :20:37. | :20:48. | |
to flee. TRANSLATION: It is shameful. We have kids and older | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
people. We gathered them and tried to get away. TRANSLATION: They | :20:54. | :21:02. | |
killed as. They killed our children. They made us grow beards and told us | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
what to wear. The woman had to be covered. God help us. The youngest | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
to escape was one-day-old. Welcome to this world. These people may have | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
escaped, but tens of thousands remain trapped. With IS digging in, | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
the coalition may need to fight them street by street. The battle for | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
Manbij is far from over. The World Anti-Doping Agency says | :21:40. | :21:55. | |
more than 700 attempts to carry out drug testing in Russia have been | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
obstructed. This is a damning report two days before a key decision | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
regarding by the Russian athletes can compete at the Olympics in Rio | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
de Janeiro. The report says testers had been intimidated by security | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
services and packages containing samples had been tampered with. And | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
athlete had provided false information on their whereabouts or | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
avoided trouble -- avoided drug testers at competitions. More on | :22:27. | :22:27. | |
this story as we get it. French police have fired tear gas | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
at England football fans Thousands of extra police had been | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
drafted in after clashes between Russian, English and French | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
fans in Marseille. Russia lost 2-1 to | :22:38. | :22:39. | |
Slovakia in Lille today. England are playing Wales in nearby | :22:40. | :22:41. | |
Lens on Thursday. The BBC's Danny Savage | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
is in the centre of Lille. Tear gas was fired nearby. England | :22:44. | :23:11. | |
fans responded to reports of trouble. They try to get out of the | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
square and up to other England fans, looking to see what happens. They | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
have been pushed back into the corner of the square. There being | :23:21. | :23:28. | |
noisy and boisterous. The feeling I get from talking to some of them is | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
that some of them are looking for trouble. It doesn't bode well for | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
the rest of the evening. It is quite tense here in Lille at the moment. | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
After violence in the stands at the end of the football game | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
between Russia and England game on Saturday, Uefa said it | :23:43. | :23:44. | |
would disqualify Russia from Euro 2016 if there | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
That's not gone down well back in Russia, where many people | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
believe their country has been unfairly punished. | :23:51. | :23:52. | |
Steve Rosenberg talked to football fans in Moscow. | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
I am in a bar in Moscow premiere showing the Russia against Slovakia | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
match. I want to know what Russian football fans back home think about | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
the violence which has overshadowed the start of Euro 2016. What did he | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
think of Uefa ruling their team would be disqualified if Russian | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
fans were involved in further crowd disturbances in the stadium? | :24:24. | :25:20. | |
Speaking to people here has got me thinking. I often get the impression | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
that many Russians feel the whole world is against them. They feel | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
that America is plotting revolution here or that Nato is planning an | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
attack the West wants to stop Russia taking part in the Olympics or take | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
away the 2018 World Cup from Russia. It is a very different picture from | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
what we see in the West. Many Russians see themselves as the | :25:48. | :25:49. | |
victims and not the aggressors. Another very lively day across the | :25:50. | :26:10. | |
