This is BBC World News Today, broadcasting in the UK | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
I'm Alpa Patel, and here are the headlines: | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
The family Jo Cox, the British politician | :00:11. | :00:11. | |
murdered last Thursday, have visited the scene | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Her sister thanked people for their support and said | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
For now our family is broken, but we will mend over time | :00:20. | :00:30. | |
and we will never let Jo leave our lives. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
Meanwhile the man accused of her murder has appeared in court. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
When asked his name, Thomas Mair said, "Death to traitors, | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Belgium's Prime Minister calls for calm after three men are charged | :00:41. | :00:48. | |
President Putin says banning Russia from the Olympics is unfair, | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
following accusations of state-sponsored doping. | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
And home at last - the British astronaut, Tim Peake, | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
and his American and Russian colleagues return from space. | :01:03. | :01:12. | |
Just this smells of birth are so strong, and it's wonderful to be | :01:13. | :01:21. | |
back in fresh air, really good -- this smells of birth. | :01:22. | :01:31. | |
It is a killing that has shocked people here in Britain | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
The man charged with murdering the British politician, Jo Cox, | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
When asked his name, Thomas Mair replied, | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
"Death to traitors, freedom for Britain". | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Meanwhile, Jo Cox's family has visited the village of Birstall | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Our correspondent Ed Thomas was there. | :01:50. | :02:00. | |
So many people have come down here to stop and read the messages, see | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
the flowers, but perhaps today that toughest journey of all, the family | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
of Job Cox came down here. They saw all the support and they said thank | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
you to the people of this town -- Jo Cox. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
It is hard to imagine this family's pain. | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
Gordon and Jean Leadbeater have lost their eldest daughter. | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
surrounded by the people of Birstall, | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
the flowers and messages, the lives touched by Jo Cox. | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
I do want to just start by saying thank you. | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
And we all appreciate this massively. | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
There are some things in life you should never have to do. | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
Last night, I had to go and identify my sister's body. | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
Yes, this was Jo Cox MP and she was many things to many | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
people in her too short life, but she was my sister, | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
my only sibling, my parents' first born child, a wife and a mum. | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
This was a tribute within full view of the place | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
And here Kim Leadbeater talked of her sister's values. | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
A campaigner, a champion of those in need. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Our parents instilled in us a real glass-half-full mentality. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
And while I sometimes tend to add a large measure | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
of Yorkshire cynicism to this, Jo generally did not. | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
For now, Kim said her family was broken but would mend | :03:50. | :03:58. | |
and that they would never let Jo leave their lives. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
She will live on through all the good people in the world, | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
and through her truly wonderful children, who will always know | :04:06. | :04:17. | |
what an utterly amazing woman their mother was. | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
She was a human being, and she was perfect. | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
The family of Jo Cox there. Meanwhile a man has geared at | :04:27. | :04:50. | |
Westminster Magistrates' Court charged with the murder of the MP. | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
52-year-old Thomas mare told the court his name was deaf to traitors, | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
freedom for Britain. Our home affairs correspondent Daniel | :05:03. | :05:03. | |
Sandford has more. Thomas Mair was swept into the court | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
building in a police van, part of a convoy that had | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
brought him from Yorkshire to the most important | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
Magistrates' Court in London following the protocol | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
used in terrorism cases. When he came into court | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
he was accompanied by two dock security officers and wore a grey | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
police-issue tracksuit. With short light grey hair | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
and a neatly trimmed beard, he stood up when asked to do | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
so by the court clerk. When asked his name, | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
the man in the dock said, "My name is death to traitors, | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
freedom for Britain." Asked his address, | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
he remained silent. Asked his date of birth, | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
he again remained silent. He's charged with the murder | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
of Jo Cox, the young, popular, pro-EU Labour MP | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
for Batley and Spen. She was repeatedly stabbed and shot | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
three times, in a killing which has shocked politicians and the public | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
alike and led to the suspension Thomas Mair is also charged | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
with possession of a firearm, a modified rifle, and an offensive | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
weapon, a combat knife, 77-year-old bystander Bernard Kenny | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
was stabbed in the stomach After the short hearing, | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
Thomas Mair was driven from court through the melee of photographers | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
to Belmarsh prison. He will be held there | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
until his next court appearance at the Central Criminal Court, | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
the Old Bailey, on Monday. Tonight there has been a message | :06:26. | :06:42. | |
from the husband of Jo Cox. Brendan Cox watched his wife's sister paid | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
tribute and said she spoke for all of the family, and she did her | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
sister proud. Belgian prosecutors have charged | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
three of the people detained Those detained are suspected | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
of plotting a terrorist attack, It comes nearly three months | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
after the deadly bomb Ministers held an emergency meeting | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
to discuss the raids overnight, the biggest coordinated operation | :07:08. | :07:18. | |
since the terrorist attacks The authorities said that they had | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
uncovered a plot which needed But they would not be drawn on | :07:22. | :07:37. | |
reports that attackers were planning to target football fans this | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
afternoon as they watched the Belgian teams match on a big screen | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
in the capital. The event went ahead as planned | :07:44. | :07:44. | |
although it was far from full. The Belgian Prime Minister said that | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
security would be increased at further events, | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
but they would not be cancelled. TRANSLATION: We should carry | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
on with our daily lives as normal. The work of the investigators | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
is paying off. Raids have been carried out, | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
enabling the judicial authorities to conduct anti-terrorist work | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
and to prevent attacks. 32 people were murdered in bombings | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
at the Metro station Since then the country has been on | :08:12. | :08:24. | |
high alert. The government has not raised the threat level higher in | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
light of these read latest raids but they come at the end of a week when | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
officials said they had received ports that fighters from the | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
so-called Islamic State group were underweight from Syria to Europe, | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
intent on carrying out more attacks in Belgium and France. | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
The German Foreign Minister has criticised Nato's policies | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
towards Russia as it conducts military exercises | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
He says extensive Nato manoeuvres could inflame tensions and urged | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
Nato to instead use more dialogue and co-operation with Russia. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
An Egyptian court has sentenced the former president, | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
Mohammed Morsi, to life in prison for spying. | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
He was among a number defendants found guilty of passing secret | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
documents to the Gulf state of Qatar. | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
They included two Al Jazeera journalists who were sentenced | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
Thousands of people in Hong Kong have protested alongside | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
a book-seller who says he was detained and forced | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
to make a video confession while in detention in China. | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
Lam Wing-Kee is demanding more information about his case | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
after spending several months in detention. | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
He's one of five book-sellers allegedly detained for publishing | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
material critical of China's leadership. | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
The International Olympic Committee has backed a ban on Russian athletes | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
It comes after the governing body of world athletics extended a ban | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
on Russian competitors taking part in international events. | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
But the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, has said the ban | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
In Moscow they celebrated Olympics day. | :09:55. | :10:05. | |
A chance for Russians young and older to dream of Olympic glory. | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
But only yesterday, Russian sport received a body blow | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
The IAAF upheld its ban on Russian athletes. | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
Today Russia's Sports Minister said he feared there was now no chance | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
of Russian track and field athletes competing in Rio and | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
TRANSLATION: Europe is trying to pressure us. | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
Says Olympic science -- cyclist Nikolai Koch. | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
First it did it with sanctions, now it is using sport | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
Then the president of Russia's Olympic Committee joined the party. | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
Russia's Olympic chief was a man of few words today but the Russian | :10:50. | :11:10. | |
media has been scathing in its criticisms of the IAAF. | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
One newspaper described the continued ban on Russian | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
athletes as the worst decision in the history of world sport, | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
another said the IAAF was stuck with the cliche of Russia | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
President Putin said he thought the blanket ban was unfair. | :11:26. | :11:33. | |
Responsibility must always be individual, he said, | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
and why should clean athletes suffer? | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
But Russia has struggled to convince the world it is serious | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
It has a fight on its hands to clear its name. | :11:45. | :11:54. | |
After six months on board the International Space Station, | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
Tim Peake has touched down safely in Kazakhstan. | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
The British astronaut described the journey back as the best ride | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
of his life and said he was looking forward to a pizza and a beer. | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
Well, Major Peake was taken by helicopter to Karagandy airport | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
From there he'll be flown to Norway and then on to Cologne in Germany. | :12:15. | :12:24. | |
Our Science Editor David Shukman was in Kazakhstan | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
A race to rescue Tim Peake and his two colleagues. | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
A fleet of helicopters rushes across the empty | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
No-one knows exactly where and when the | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
I'm the only British journalist on board. | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
The pilot spots something high above us. | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
There it is, an incredible sight, the giant parachute. | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
Just drifting down through the clouds, the three | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
It looks like it's a very safe operation. | :13:03. | :13:11. | |
By now, radio contact is established but one | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
big challenge remains - the landing itself. | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
Touchdown approaching any second now, I think. | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
The rockets went off, breaking the fall. | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
Minutes later, the whole fleet was on the ground and the three | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
spacemen started to be pulled out of the capsule. | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
After six months without any feeling of weight, | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
Our first sight of Tim Peake, looking happy. | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
Tim, David Shukman, welcome back to Planet Earth. | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
Great to see you looking so well, tell me how you are | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
Just truly amazed, I mean, just the smells of | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
Yeah, it's wonderful to be back in fresh air, lovely, really good. | :13:58. | :14:06. | |
After half a year without feeling the warmth of summer, | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
and still in his space suit, he was overheating. | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
He managed a quick word with his wife, Rebecca. | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
Then he was carried off for a medical check. | :14:16. | :14:26. | |
He wants his time in space to be useful to research. | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
It's a remarkable sight to see you looking so well. | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
You know how many people have followed you on Twitter now. | :14:35. | :14:48. | |
I know, it's been incredible, it really has, I'm so grateful | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
for all the support and thank you to everyone who has helped | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
With the astronaut being checked, the capsule was rolled upright | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
An hour after landing and the capsule is still hot. | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
Being this close, I can smell how burnt it is. | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
It became charred as it descended through the atmosphere. | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
The spacecraft has returned laden with research samples. | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
The mission is over, but a lot of science | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
For the Russians, this operation is routine, but for Britain | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
it marks the first government-funded space flight. | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
And Tim Peake hopes that more will follow. | :15:27. | :15:36. | |
Stay with us on BBC World News, still to come. | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
Iraqi forces reclaim a government compound in the city of Falluja, | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
one of the key Iraqi strongholds of the self-described Islamic State. | :15:43. | :15:58. | |
There was a bomb in the city centre. A code word known to be one used by | :15:59. | :16:06. | |

He was taken to their up Hartman in Kensington palace. The real centre | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
of attention with the world was my first woman Russian cosmonaut. I | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
might be able to persuade the wife it would be a good idea if I could | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
get her to go up there for a little while. | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
Tributes continued to be paid to the murdered British politician Jo Cox. | :17:00. | :17:11. | |
Her sister by people for their support and said her memory would | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
live on. Belgium's Prime Minister calls for calm after three men are | :17:18. | :17:19. | |

In a battle that's been raging for more than three weeks, | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
the Iraqi military has announced that its forces have recaptured most | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
The city is 30 miles from the capital Baghdad and has | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
been held by the self-described Islamic State for longer | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
The UN says up to 50,000 civilians are trapped there. | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
Our correspondent Ahmed Mayor has the latest. | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
We are at the outskirts of the district in southern Falluja, this | :17:47. | :17:55. | |
symbolic and important Iraq each city. It is one of the main | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
strongholds for so-called Islamic State in Iraq and we're just a few | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
kilometres the city centre and the government compound which was | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
recaptured by the government forces. They raised the Iraqi flag in a | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
symbolic move because raising the flag over the government compound | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
means symbolically recapturing the city of Falluja. The battle is still | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
far from over but government forces have made significant progress and | :18:28. | :18:37. | |
in a very quick pace. TRANSLATION: We have achieved that the rate in | :18:38. | :18:42. | |

force. And it is very noticeable from what we have seen ourselves, | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
the composition of the forces fighting to retake Falluja after | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
that controversy raised either participation of the Shia brigades, | :19:12. | :19:17. | |

the elite anti-terror forces. From this other district in the city of | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
Falluja, BBC News. There's been more violence | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
at the European Championship - this time involving | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
fans from Hungary. About 100 Hungarian supporters | :19:33. | :19:34. | |
dressed in black clashed with stewards in Marseille ahead | :19:35. | :19:37. | |

in to quell the violence with authorities also | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
increasing their presence Let's get to the events on the | :19:51. | :20:03. | |
pitch. We will start at Euro 2016. | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
Romelu Lukaku scored twice as Belgium recorded their first win | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
at Euro 2016 to leave the Republic of Ireland's chances of reaching | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
Ireland hoped for a vintage performance in Bordeaux | :20:11. | :20:22. | |
against a Belgian side with something to prove | :20:23. | :20:24. | |
after a lacklustre opening defeat against Italy. | :20:25. | :20:26. | |
Ireland's game plan was to clean their opponents where possible, | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
And it took the Belgian to get going. | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
But Martin O'Neill's side rarely threatened an attack that | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
Thanks to Wes Hoolohan on the line, it was goalless at half-time, but | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
Kevin de Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku showed their skill. | :20:47. | :20:55. | |
Belgium finally started to live up to their billing. As the Irish | :20:56. | :21:03. | |
defence concentrated on marking Lukaku, axle with to nip in and it | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
was effectively been over. The side ranked second in the world | :21:08. | :21:11. | |

Ciaran Clarke's clumsy challenge, he had time to do what he wanted, | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
setting up Lukaku for his second So the pressure is off the red | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
Dearbhail 's. -- devils. All Ireland could do was thank | :21:21. | :21:28. | |
the fans for their support. They can still qualify for the last | :21:29. | :21:30. | |
16 with a good result against Italy. Belgium also require something when | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
