This is BBC World News Today with me, Ben Bland. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The headlines: Turkey's government says Islamic State group | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
are to blame for the attack on Istanbul's airport. | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
41 people died more than 200 were injured. | :00:17. | :00:17. | |
Walked around the corner into the main terminal, | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
just a sea of people screaming, running, tripping, police | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
I'm Ros Atkins live in Brussels where 27 EU leaders have | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
held their first summit without the UK for | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
As the Brexit fallout continues, opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
continues to feel the squeeze from his own party | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
It might be in my party's interest for him to sit there, but it's not | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
The number of dead and injured has been rising by the hour in Istanbul | :00:48. | :01:09. | |
after terror returned to Turkey with a vengeance last night. | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
The country, already reeling from a series of bloody attacks | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
in the past 12 months, once again targeted by | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
The location - Istanbul's Ataturk Airport, Europe's third largest | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
The latest casualty figures - 41 dead, 239 injured. | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
Let's show you where exactly this took place. | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
Three suicide bombers carried out the attack just | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
A warning - there are distressing images from the start of this report | :01:36. | :01:56. | |
from our security correspondent, Frank Gardner. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
Europe's third busiest airport, late evening. | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
Passengers rushed through Istanbul's international terminal, | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
Here, an attacker is caught by CCTV, floored by shots from | :02:06. | :02:16. | |
Wounded, he drops his rifle and it slides across the floor. | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
The policeman approaches him, then spots his suicide belt | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
and runs, just before the gunman detonates the device. | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
Dozens were killed, many more wounded, taken to nearby hospitals. | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
A coordinated attack on one of the world's busiest hubs, | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
As soon as we came out, we really saw the full extent of it. | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
Lawrence Cameron landed on a flight from Latvia | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
As he walked through the arrivals area, the horror became clear. | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
I walked around the corner, into the main terminal, | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
and just a sea of people screaming, running, tripping, police | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
I started taking a few pictures but then the police started pushing | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
us back into the back of the terminal and it became clear | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
that something nasty had happened and this was not a drill or a hoax | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
They worked through the night to repair the area, windows | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
shattered, ceilings destroyed by automatic gunfire | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
A futile attempt to return to normality. | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
The airport reopened quickly and attempts to reassure passengers, | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
but this is a profoundly shaken country, Turkey's image once again | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
And with the wave of bombings across Turkey showing no signs | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
of abating, there will be big questions about how | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
to increase security at the most vulnerable points. | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
The three attackers were driven in by taxi, the car not checked | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
There were worries it was a soft target. | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
The government says all signs point to the Islamic State group, | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
the latest in a spate of attacks by IS cells here. | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
At the hospital, emotional scenes as families fought | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
between themselves, a desperate search for who was to blame. | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
Others waited for news of loved ones caught up in a situation | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
The first now being laid to rest, passengers, police, airport staff, | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
lives ripped apart in a country that once felt safe. | :04:26. | :04:36. | |
The BBC's Richard Galpin is at Ataturk Airport. | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
The latest line we are hearing is this from the Prime Minister saying | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
one suicide bomber blew himself up in two others got inside. What are | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
you hearing from your end? That is what we understand, that at least | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
two people involved were able to get inside the building. They opened | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
fire, they had automatic weapons with them and at least one of them, | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
possibly two, detonated their bombs inside the building and a few yards | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
away from here, you can see the damage caused by the debtor nation | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
about suicide bomb this time yesterday. What is intriguing is | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
that there are now more and more people using this airport, arriving | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
and leaving. It's quite busy. I was looking around the area. People are | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
coming through, it is bordered off, greeted by relatives and friends, it | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
feels reasonably normal, the cafes are open, a lot of people are around | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
using the separate again. That is an encouraging sign. Is there any sign | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
that security has been stepped up the? Yes, there is a visible | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
security presence here. We have seen a lot of policemen wandering along, | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
some carrying automatic weapons pistols. Police motorbikes as well. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
Security has been stepped up. You would expect that. This was a very | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
serious attack. This is the worst attacks so far this year with 41 | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
people killed. We have details on the nationalities of those killed. | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
The vast majority Turkish but there are also a lot of people from the | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
Middle East, one from Teheran and one from Ukraine and one from China. | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
This is one of the busiest airports in the region. Have you spoken to | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
any people travelling through it about whether they had any | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
hesitation about going ahead with their travel plans? People certainly | :06:46. | :06:54. | |
seem to be relaxed actually. It does feel a very normal atmosphere. There | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
are large numbers pouring in and out by the time. It seems people are | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
willing... I am sure people will be aware of what has happened, and you | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
can see it clearly, shattered glass and these are areas that have been | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
boarded up, but people I tried to get on as normal and take the | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
flights they need to to get where they need to get to. | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
US President Barrack Obama has just spoken about the attack in Istanbul, | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
reiterating efforts to defeat terrorist groups. | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
They will be defeated in Syria, Iraq, there will be on the run where | :07:30. | :07:42. | |
ever they hide. We will not rest until they have dismantled these | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
networks that have had an impact on the entire civilised world. | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
With me now is Cem Isik, the Chief of Mission | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
I just wonder if you could shed any light on why Turkey is becoming such | :07:53. | :08:06. | |
a target. This is potentially the fourth attack suspected to be | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
carried out by EIS this year. The deputy head of mission, actually. | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
Yes, as you have reported, 41 people have lost their lives than 239 had | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
been wounded. We are observing a day of mourning. The investigation | :08:26. | :08:37. | |
continues. The preliminary indications pointers towards Dyas. | :08:38. | :08:46. | |
Turkey is an active member of the coalition. We have opened up our | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
airbases and we participate in the coalition. So, this is why Turkey is | :08:52. | :09:01. | |
a target. You mentioned about the suspicion that Islamic State is | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
behind this attack. The group has not yet claimed responsibility. What | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
is it that need to be investigators to believe it could be them? As I | :09:10. | :09:18. | |
say, investigations are continuing. It would be premature for me to say, | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
go into operational details, but everything so far to this our | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
pointers in that direction. We are observing the holy month of Ramadan | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
and this horrible attack took place against innocent men, women and | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
children using suicide vests and AK-47 assault rifles. It goes to | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
show that terrorism does not is respect any values whatsoever, | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
including religion, and up to nothing. What has Turkey been doing | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
to address the situation, given the number of attacks? Turkey, it has | :09:56. | :10:04. | |
declared it a terrorist organisation. It has prescribed it | :10:05. | :10:13. | |
since 2005 under different names and unfortunately Turkey has to deal | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
with more than one terrorist organisation at the same time but we | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
unfortunately for a long time about the deal with. Security is tight. | :10:26. | :10:34. | |
All reports so far we have seen indicate to a strong security at the | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
airport but unfortunately this attack did happen and all of this I | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
believe needs us to once again highlight the importance of | :10:45. | :10:54. | |
increasing cooperation, the effectiveness of it and to deepen it | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
in the international community. EU leaders meeting today have told | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
Britain it cannot expect access to the European single market | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
without accepting the free Welcome to Brussels. We have had yet | :11:05. | :11:23. | |
another day of extraordinary events. There have been one after another | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
ever since the UK chose to lead the EU. Today's have come in the form of | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
the first high-level meeting in over 40 years which did not feature the | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
UK, featuring all the other members of the EU who will be left inside | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
when it leaves. If there was one key message that all the leaders wanted | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
to communicate to the UK Government, it was that there has any | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
aspirations of being within the single market, the free trade and | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
within the EU, once as left the EU, it will need to accept freedom of | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
movement, freedom of movement the capital, good services and people. | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
Here is the story of the day. But no British Prime Minister | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
stepped out of a shiny black car The UK was locked out today | :12:06. | :12:17. | |
for the first time 40 years. A glaring absence but matched | :12:18. | :12:27. | |
here by a definite I think it is not about him today, | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
today is about us. But by him she meant David Cameron, | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
and by us she meant But the referendum he called | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
was their focus of debate today. How to deal with the Brexit process | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
and how to heal the EU with an intentional show of unity | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
after the UK voted out and the fear When it came to talks of future | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
trade deals with the UK EU leaders One by one, they ruled out | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
the possibility that Britain could have good access to the single | :13:02. | :13:13. | |
market and stop EU migration. There will be no single market | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
a la cart. President Juncker, will | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
the UK find an accord There will be no negotiations | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
without notification. No negotiation without | :13:25. | :13:34. | |
notification, he said. The EU wants the UK to trigger | :13:35. | :13:35. | |
formal Brexit talks with them Of course, when the EU leaders | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
insist there will be no flexibility on a UK deal now, | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
that does not mean there won't be After all, Brussels is known | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
as the capital of compromise. The truth is, no one knows, | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
not the leaders, not No country has ever | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
left the EU before. Plots, plans and rumours fly around, | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
but certain is only this, This year, the single market is a | :14:05. | :14:26. | |
major one for those left within the European Union but another is the | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
timetable. There is a desire for Britain as quickly as possible to | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
trigger article 50 and begin the formal process of exiting the | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
European Union. Late last night inside the European Council, I spoke | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
to Jean-Claude Juncker. I wanted to talk to him about the timetable and | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
whether he was frustrated at the pace at which things are happening. | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
I'm a little bit surprised, not by the fact that the Remain camp | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
wants to meditate the result the British put into our hands | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
but that the Leave camp now is asking that they would | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
If you are advocating the Leave scenario, I would have thought that | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
you would know exactly what will happen the day after. | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
OK, the Remain camp has to reflect on this but the Leave camp knew | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
If they don't know what to do now, that's proof that they didn't | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
reflect on the consequences of their campaign. | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
How long will you wait before Britain starts this process? | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
I mean, David Cameron made it perfectly clear the other day | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
in London that it's up to the next British Prime Minister to take | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
the decision on when and how to trigger Article 50. | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
So we have to wait for the decision of the then British Prime Minister. | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
If the Prime Minister is coming from the Remain | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
If the Prime Minister is coming from the Leave camp, | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
And in terms of free movement, which was one of the biggest issues | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
of the campaign in the UK, do you think you will be prepared | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
to cut a deal on trade between the UK and the EU | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
which doesn't involve the same free movement terms | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
Expand on that for our viewers, please. | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
If you are in, you can try to change the rules. | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
In the framework of the deal we have concluded with David Cameron, | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
there were indications about how these things could be changed. | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
Earlier in the European Council, there were leaders giving | :16:48. | :17:02. | |
simultaneous press conferences in different rooms around the Council | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
building. One of them was held by Francois Hollande. I was sitting a | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
few rows back from where he was speaking and he emphasised with the | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
leaders understand Britain needs a new Prime Minister to oversee this | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
process but one that has a new leader, they urgently want Britain | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
to begin the process and they will be patient until September. Beyond | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
though, they will not be. We will talk about who might take over in a | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
moment, but there is a question mark over who will lead the Conservatives | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
and the official opposition, the Labour Party in the long term, | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
because this huge pressure on Jeremy Corbyn, 80% of his MPs called for | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
him to go yesterday. He is showing no signs of doing that. Today the | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
Prime Minister got involved in that campaign. | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
Look, if he's looking for excuses about why the side he and I were | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
on about the referendum, frankly he should | :17:55. | :17:56. | |
And I have to say to the honourable gentleman, he talks about job | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
insecurity and my two months to go, it may be in my party's interest | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
for him to sit there, it's not in the national | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
interests and I would say, for heaven's sake, man, go. | :18:07. | :18:16. | |
Let's start with the Tories. Today, the nomination process began. Who | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
has been sending in a job application? The nomination process | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
was formally opened earlier this evening and the candidates have | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
until 12 noon tomorrow in the UK to get their nomination papers in. The | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
first to declare is Stephen Crabb, who was not somebody who may be | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
exactly a household name around the world of where you are speaking | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
from. The Work and Pensions Secretary. Relatively new face. But | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
the Conservative Party, he offers an alternative to the likes of Boris | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
Johnson and David Cameron. He is from an ordinary working-class | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
background, brought up on a council estate. He is backed up by the | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
Business Secretary. He is saying it is time to heal the wounds, put | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
behind the campaign is to remain or leave the EU, to unite the country | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
and get on with those all-important negotiations of taking Britain out | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
of the European Union but also expecting Lee, Liam Fox, expecting | :19:26. | :19:35. | |
him to throw his hat into billing. The two likely leading contenders | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
will be Theresa May and Boris Johnson, the former mayor of London, | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
a leading figure in that campaign to take Britain out of the European | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
Union. By noon tomorrow, we will know exactly who is there to succeed | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
David Cameron. This is a contest that will run over the summer and it | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
will not be until the 9th of September until we know who the next | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
leader of the Conservative Party is and therefore the next Prime | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
Minister to take on that very complex and difficult process of | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
negotiating Brexit. With regards to the opposition Labour Party, the | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
situation we have is that the majority Members of Parliament on | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
Jeremy Corbyn to go that he is insisting he has been elected not by | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
the MPs backed by the membership of the party and is not going anywhere. | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
We expect a leadership challenge to trigger a leadership contest. Jeremy | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
Corbyn are saying if there is another leadership contest, he will | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
enter. So who knows who we will end up with? | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
The leaders of the United States, Canada and Mexico are meeting | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
in Ottawa to discuss trade and globalisation. | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
The Canadian Prime Minister says, in a time of global instability, | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
working together is more important than ever. | :20:49. | :20:50. | |
The three nations are part of a North American Free Trade Agreement, | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
which Donald Trump has vowed to renegotiate or even | :20:54. | :20:55. | |
BBC's Rajini Vaidyanathan reports from Ottawa. | :20:56. | :21:04. | |
At a time when global partnerships are breaking down, | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
North American leaders are promoting the closeness of their ties. | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
Canada's Prime Minister hosted the Mexican President | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
He kicked off a Q with students by making a brief | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
We saw, from last week's vote in the UK, that young people | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
were slightly in a different place than the majority of the other | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
And that's because young people understand how important building | :21:31. | :21:38. | |
links across borders, creating partnerships, | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
Hours before preaching this message of inclusiveness, | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
Mr Trudeau announced that Canada was to lift visa | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
These two leaders will soon be joined by President Obama for talks. | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
As Mr Trudeau is pledging to be more welcoming the Mexicans, | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
one of Mr Obama's potential successors, Donald Trump, | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
At this language school just outside Ottawa, | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
Mexican students are taking short courses in English. | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
For many of them, the political rhetoric across the border in the US | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
makes Canada a far more appealing destination. | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
From what you hear, from what all the media, | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
all the social networks, all the things you hear | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
in the street when you talk to people, I think Canada | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
Which country do you think is more welcoming, Canada or America? | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
Immigration is a big issue is at home for these three leaders | :22:37. | :22:46. | |
but it will be hard for them to avoid discussing Brexit. | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
The Canadian government, which is close to signing a key | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
trade deal with the EU, says it's unclear how the UK | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
Our decision about the EU and its members is clear | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
and we think it's a great deal and we are looking | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
With regards to Britain, Britain really need to make clear | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
more of its choices for us to know how we will proceed. | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
For now, Canada's focused on strengthening ties | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
It's getting cosier with Mexico and America, but with the US | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
election round the corner, all that could change. | :23:23. | :23:25. | |

Some of the day's other news: Dozens of militants from the so-called | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
Islamic State are reported to have been killed while trying to flee | :23:36. | :23:37. | |
Iraqi forces there have reopened the mayor's office three days | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
after the city was declared fully liberated from IS. | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
Falluja had been under IS control for more than two years. | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
The Italian navy has raised the wreck of a boat which sank | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
in the Mediterranean last year, killing up to 800 migrants. | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
It's thought that hundreds of passengers were trapped below | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
It will now be taken to Sicily, where experts will attempt | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
The largest rough diamond to be discovered for more than 100 years | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
The Lesedi La Rona, which is about the size | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
of a tennis ball, was found at a mine in Botswana. | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
It's expected to be sold for about $70 million | :24:18. | :24:19. | |
with the government in Botswana getting 60% of the profit. | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
Researchers in Switzerland have developed a robotic salamander | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
in a creative exercise to better understand neuroscience | :24:30. | :24:31. | |
The impressive creation can walk and swim, just like its inspiration. | :24:32. | :25:06. | |
The project was really about understanding the body | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
of the salamander, how the body of the salamander interacts | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
What's interesting in the salamander is the ability to swim and walk. | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
This is interesting because few robots can do that. | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
We want to have different versions of such a robot to do pollution | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
detection or search and rescue missions but here the goal was to do | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
science and understand how the real animal works. | :25:28. | :25:36. | |
Salamander really has no problem at all, so it's very light x-rays, | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
But for now, from me, Ben Bland, and the rest of the team, goodbye. | :25:40. | :26:13. | |
This disappointing run of weather is set to continue over the next | :26:14. | :26:14. |
