:00:00. > :00:24.It is the deadliest bombing in Iraq this year.

:00:25. > :00:26.More than 125 people have been killed.

:00:27. > :00:31.One attack took place near a Shia mosque in KarrAda district.

:00:32. > :00:34.Explosives on a truck were detonated in an area full of people

:00:35. > :00:36.as they were breaking their fast during Ramadan.

:00:37. > :00:42.A second bomb went off later in the north of the city.

:00:43. > :00:46.The group has been losing territory in recent months including the city

:00:47. > :00:50.of Falluja recaptured from IS a week ago.

:00:51. > :00:59.Haider al-Abadi was met by a furious crowds - who pelted his car

:01:00. > :01:03.with rocks and bottles as he tried to visit the area.

:01:04. > :01:05.Here's our Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen sent

:01:06. > :01:22.The bombs and the fires consumed so many lives.

:01:23. > :01:24.It's supposed to be a sacred and festive season.

:01:25. > :01:26.The last few days of the holy month of Ramadan.

:01:27. > :01:29.The attack happened at around 1am in the morning.

:01:30. > :01:31.The streets were full and the shops were open.

:01:32. > :01:34.This was the so-called Islamic State's latest gift

:01:35. > :01:39.The people who gathered there during the day were furious

:01:40. > :01:42.that the jihadist so-called Islamic State seem to be able

:01:43. > :01:49.So when the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi came to inspect the damage

:01:50. > :01:51.and pay his respects, they forced him to make

:01:52. > :02:01.He says that Iraqis are like sheep among wolves.

:02:02. > :02:08.Everyone is coming to eat their flesh.

:02:09. > :02:12.Islamic State Sunni extremists said they were targeting Shia Muslims.

:02:13. > :02:15.Sectarian war started in the chaos and violence that was unleashed

:02:16. > :02:21.by the American and British invasion of Iraq in 2003.

:02:22. > :02:27.It still continues and it's about power more than religion.

:02:28. > :02:30.The main reason why IS attacked was the defeat they've just

:02:31. > :02:34.It means they've lost a stronghold less than an hour's

:02:35. > :02:42.All the destruction and killing add up to a clear message

:02:43. > :02:49.from the jihadists of so-called Islamic State.

:02:50. > :02:51.That they may be defeated on the battlefield,

:02:52. > :02:54.but they are still able to hit back where it hurts most,

:02:55. > :02:57.by killing civilians in the heart of this capital city

:02:58. > :03:03.Iraq has not had a day of real peace since the invasion in 2003.

:03:04. > :03:05.This coming week, Britain publishes its official

:03:06. > :03:12.Plenty of Iraqis have already made up their minds.

:03:13. > :03:23.That the invaders pushed them into an agony without an end.

:03:24. > :03:26.I spoke to Martin Navias from the Centre for Defence Studies

:03:27. > :03:28.about his reading of the attack and what it tells us

:03:29. > :03:38.Iraqi government has been trying to create a secure perimeter around

:03:39. > :03:44.Baghdad for years, but Islamic State appears able to penetrate it with

:03:45. > :03:48.ease and this attack is one of a stream of attacks where they are

:03:49. > :03:54.trying to exacerbate the sectarian tensions that you mention, undermine

:03:55. > :03:58.confidence in the government, and demonstrate, as the reporter says,

:03:59. > :04:02.that they are still in the game. There have been a number of setbacks

:04:03. > :04:10.on the battlefield but the fact remains that the Islamic State

:04:11. > :04:14.remain with significant territory, important power bases and can put up

:04:15. > :04:18.a strong fight. What they demonstrated today is that while

:04:19. > :04:22.they have lost Falluja, they can take the battle into the heart of

:04:23. > :04:29.the Iraqi capital and create devastating damage. This is a

:04:30. > :04:34.terrible week in terms of terrorism, there has been an attack on Istanbul

:04:35. > :04:39.and Bangladesh, is the group focusing on international terrorism

:04:40. > :04:43.as well as their targets at home? The group has a panoply of targets,

:04:44. > :04:48.number one it is retreating somewhat in the face of the pressure of the

:04:49. > :04:53.Iraqi army and the Kurds, in Syria, it is under pressure also from the

:04:54. > :04:56.Kurds and the Syrian government. But nevertheless it retains the

:04:57. > :05:01.capability to strike terror, both within Iraq and Syria and throughout

:05:02. > :05:08.the world. Yes they are trying to demonstrate that they remain a

:05:09. > :05:11.credible force. Now, the Iraqi government has said under this

:05:12. > :05:18.president that he wishes to destroy the Islamic State, in Mosul, is

:05:19. > :05:21.capital, Iraq this year. The Americans have disabused him of that

:05:22. > :05:28.notion, they are saying that Iraqis are not ready for that at time

:05:29. > :05:32.being. The Islamic State is still a powerful force with tens of

:05:33. > :05:36.thousands of fighters and an ability to project these fighters into South

:05:37. > :05:42.Asia, throughout the Middle East and to Europe as well. I don't believe,

:05:43. > :05:47.that despite these setbacks, that they are facing the end in the near

:05:48. > :05:52.future. I don't believe that is the case. If you look at the battles

:05:53. > :05:56.that have taken place. They are retreating, they're not fighting to

:05:57. > :06:02.the last man in each city, the Iraqi army to meet doesn't look capable

:06:03. > :06:07.sophisticated attacks, they are destroying these places in order to

:06:08. > :06:10.save them and so sectarian tensions are exacerbating, Islamic State

:06:11. > :06:16.remains in place, and a long battle remains in the future.

:06:17. > :06:23.The Pakistan Indian governments have dispatched their military

:06:24. > :06:26.to help in a rescue operation, after flash flooding

:06:27. > :06:30.The worst hit district in Pakistan is ChitRal, in the north.

:06:31. > :06:33.Officials in India say at least thirty people have been killed

:06:34. > :06:35.in the states of Uttara-khand and Arunchal Pradesh.

:06:36. > :06:37.A Turkish ship carrying humanitarian aid for Gaza has arrived

:06:38. > :06:43.It's the first aid ship sent by Turkey since the two countries

:06:44. > :06:49.agreed last week to restore relations after a six-year rift.

:06:50. > :06:52.The dispute was caused by an Israeli raid on an aid flotilla to Gaza that

:06:53. > :07:03.Now the fight is on to become Britain's next Prime Minister.

:07:04. > :07:06.And three of the leading candidates - have agreed that there SHOULD be

:07:07. > :07:09.But they've laid out quite different plans -

:07:10. > :07:12.on how quickly the country should leave the EU.

:07:13. > :07:18.Here's our political correspondent Ben Wright

:07:19. > :07:34.on the surface, this stretch of Conservative England appears Serena.

:07:35. > :07:39.But in Buckinghamshire Garden this afternoon, a hot topic to discuss.

:07:40. > :07:42.The key thing that we need at the moment is a leader

:07:43. > :07:45.and a statesman and that's the kind of thing that will drive

:07:46. > :07:49.They are weighing up Theresa May, one of the five Tory leadership

:07:50. > :07:50.candidates and the current favourite.

:07:51. > :07:53.Today, the Home Secretary said if she won, she would not

:07:54. > :07:56.We have got this huge issue of negotiating Brexit.

:07:57. > :07:58.We have got concerns about stability in the economy

:07:59. > :08:01.and the future of the UK, and I think if we were to

:08:02. > :08:04.have an early general election it would just introduce another

:08:05. > :08:07.I don't think it would be good for the economy

:08:08. > :08:10.Theresa May campaigned for Britain to stay in the EU,

:08:11. > :08:13.unlike Michael Gove, who clawed his way into the race

:08:14. > :08:15.after abandoning his former Leave campaign ally Boris Johnson,

:08:16. > :08:17.the man he had recommended as a potential Prime Minister.

:08:18. > :08:20.I took the decision very late on Wednesday evening.

:08:21. > :08:22.I went to bed at 1:30am in the morning.

:08:23. > :08:25.I reflected on it, I woke up early in the morning and decided...

:08:26. > :08:33.I decided in conscience I could not make that recommendation.

:08:34. > :08:35.It is Tory party members, around 140,000 of them,

:08:36. > :08:37.who will choose between two candidates short listed

:08:38. > :08:40.by Conservative MPs, so their views matter.

:08:41. > :08:43.Gove has shot himself in the foot, that's the end of him.

:08:44. > :08:52.I think she's a good level-headed person.

:08:53. > :08:55.I think she probably has the least enemies.

:08:56. > :08:57.Something these days in the Conservative Party!

:08:58. > :09:00.But I also found fans of Andrea Leadsom, who campaigned

:09:01. > :09:08.She knows what needs to be done, she's a woman with conviction.

:09:09. > :09:13.Today, Andrea Leadsom tried to brush off remarks she had made three years

:09:14. > :09:16.ago suggesting that the UK should be in the EU and in her view

:09:17. > :09:23.the next Prime Minister had to have voted for Brexit.

:09:24. > :09:27.Somebody who says I've been told vote for Leave with no enthusiasm

:09:28. > :09:30.is very different to someone who sees the sunlit uplands

:09:31. > :09:33.of leaving the EU, the prospects for our children, our grandchildren,

:09:34. > :09:37.our business, of being open to the world.

:09:38. > :09:39.These are some of the people who will pick the next Tory

:09:40. > :09:43.There is disagreement over who that person should be but everybody

:09:44. > :09:46.recognises the next Prime Minister has a really tough job uniting

:09:47. > :09:56.Ben Wright, BBC News, Taplow in Buckinghamshire.

:09:57. > :09:59.Well that contest was triggered by the UK's vote to leave the EU

:10:00. > :10:02.and more than a week on - it continues to send

:10:03. > :10:05.While German politicians are warning that Britain won't be

:10:06. > :10:07.given special treatment - farmers and other businesses

:10:08. > :10:09.are worried about future trading relationships.

:10:10. > :10:18.Here's our Berlin Correspondent Jenny Hill.

:10:19. > :10:23.Expect Germany to drive a hard bargain.

:10:24. > :10:33.Too early to say here whether Brexit will be bad for business.

:10:34. > :10:36.TRANSLATION: If Britain doesn't want to stay in the EU,

:10:37. > :10:40.The negotiations must benefit the EU.

:10:41. > :10:45.To give Britain concessions again is completely out of the question.

:10:46. > :10:51.German farmers have problems of their own.

:10:52. > :10:54.The price of milk, red tape and a relationship with Brussels

:10:55. > :11:00.There is throughout Germany a sadness at Britain's

:11:01. > :11:03.departure, and a concern, too, about the impact of Brexit.

:11:04. > :11:07.But overwhelmingly now, the focus is shifting

:11:08. > :11:14.to the future and how to reshape the EU without Britain.

:11:15. > :11:18.And on that note, Germany's voice carries.

:11:19. > :11:20.For its farmers, here at their annual meeting,

:11:21. > :11:23.there is a trading relationship to protect.

:11:24. > :11:27.Britain is Germany's third largest export market.

:11:28. > :11:30.I know the European Union and the UK want to be good neighbours,

:11:31. > :11:34.and the single market is a base on which we could do that.

:11:35. > :11:37.But I want to assure farmers in the United Kingdom that

:11:38. > :11:39.their benefits and their payments and their schemes will

:11:40. > :11:45.continue until such time as the negotiations are complete.

:11:46. > :11:48.Angela Merkel is likely to be central to those talks.

:11:49. > :11:51.Like other EU leaders, she faces Euroscepticism,

:11:52. > :11:57.not to mention a general election next year.

:11:58. > :12:01.One point must be clear, there will be no cherry picking,

:12:02. > :12:09.so as we always said, if Great Britain leaves

:12:10. > :12:12.the European Union, it's not possible to stay in some terms

:12:13. > :12:14.within the European Union, for instance, concerning

:12:15. > :12:19.It's not what Germany wanted, it's not what Germany expected,

:12:20. > :12:22.but Brexit is already changing Europe's political landscape.

:12:23. > :12:37.Stay with us on BBC World News, still to come:

:12:38. > :12:45.And the truth is still out there ...we link up with World's UFO

:12:46. > :13:51.festival in where else...Roswell New Mexico.

:13:52. > :14:00.here are the world headlines. New fears over Iraq security after two

:14:01. > :14:04.blast in Baghdad kill more than 125 people.

:14:05. > :14:07.Let's go to Bangladesh where the authorities are insisting -

:14:08. > :14:10.I.S militants were NOT responsible for an attack on a cafe in Dhaka

:14:11. > :14:17.That's despite a claim made by the group -

:14:18. > :14:23.who released photos of the alleged attackers posing with an I.S flag.

:14:24. > :14:25.Ministers say the gunmen were well-educated and came

:14:26. > :14:29.One suspect who survived - is being interrogated by police.

:14:30. > :14:40.A candlelit tribute to those who died in a terrifying attack.

:14:41. > :14:43.Flowers placed at the lane leading to the cafe where it took place.

:14:44. > :14:47.Some of the victims were Bangladeshi.

:14:48. > :14:54.Foreigners, mostly from Japan and Italy would come here to work.

:14:55. > :15:05.Back home, their families are trying to come to terms with their loss.

:15:06. > :15:08.This is so unbearable as a parent, he said I'm leaving now and I said

:15:09. > :15:15.to be careful and that was the last conversation I had on the telephone.

:15:16. > :15:18.Dhaka is now in a heightened state of alert but for

:15:19. > :15:32.Mourning the victims of its worst ever terrorist attack,

:15:33. > :15:36.but the focus is also shifting to the seven men who carried it out.

:15:37. > :15:39.Alarming details have emerged on who they were and what motivated

:15:40. > :15:48.The question they are asking is how they managed to get into such

:15:49. > :15:50.a secure and protected neighbourhood, virtually

:15:51. > :15:52.Eyewitnesses say they were heavily armed.

:15:53. > :15:55.One account described them as well trained and very sure

:15:56. > :16:00.The authorities now say that all seven attackers,

:16:01. > :16:01.one of whom was arrested, were local Bangladeshis

:16:02. > :16:03.with no links to the so-called Islamic State.

:16:04. > :16:07.They are said to be from affluent families who went to the country's

:16:08. > :16:09.leading private schools and colleges, not from Islamic

:16:10. > :16:10.seminaries from where militant groups often control recruits.

:16:11. > :16:13.Japanese reporters at the crime scene, family victims are due

:16:14. > :16:15.to arrive in a special plane later today.

:16:16. > :16:17.The international spotlight is now Bangladesh, it has experienced

:16:18. > :16:19.Islamist violence before but this now represents an altogether

:16:20. > :16:25.Australia's Prime Minister says he remains confident his coalition

:16:26. > :16:27.will emerge victorious - despite the country's

:16:28. > :16:32.Most of the votes have been counted but the result

:16:33. > :16:36.is still too close to call - and we may not have a clear

:16:37. > :16:50.Well Australia has voted its general election but the country now faces

:16:51. > :16:53.an anxious wait to find out who will form its next government. As it

:16:54. > :16:58.stands around 80% of all though it had been counted but it is certainly

:16:59. > :17:01.not clear yet who is going to win. Neither the governing conservative

:17:02. > :17:04.coalition of the opposition Labour Party had been able to secure an

:17:05. > :17:08.absolute majority. They are relatively neck and neck so

:17:09. > :17:12.Australians as well as you and I will have the wait until all of the

:17:13. > :17:23.votes are counted. That weight will be

:17:24. > :17:27.longer than you might think. Counting when start-up in full until

:17:28. > :17:29.Tuesday, why is that? Elections in most countries are a logistical

:17:30. > :17:31.challenge and Australia is no different, it is not just about

:17:32. > :17:33.counting votes, but think about all of the postal votes from those

:17:34. > :17:35.Australians travelling into state will living overseas. Gathering them

:17:36. > :17:40.take some time so Sunday and Monday will be spent carefully sorting,

:17:41. > :17:43.verifying and packaging the huge number of postal votes sent in so

:17:44. > :17:47.they can be added to the cad when it starts again on Tuesday. The

:17:48. > :17:51.electoral commission are taking particular care this year after more

:17:52. > :17:56.than 1000 ballots went missing in a state election in 2013. That forced

:17:57. > :17:59.voters back to the polls again, so this time around they are taking

:18:00. > :18:06.extra care not to lose a single vote. The election in Australia has

:18:07. > :18:11.been tight and nail-biting so far but for now, all we can do is wait.

:18:12. > :18:20.Let us get some sport for you and here is Damien Johnson.

:18:21. > :18:23.France look to be heading into the last four of Euro 20-16.

:18:24. > :18:25.They lead the tournament's surprise package Iceland x-x

:18:26. > :18:30.to an early goal from Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud

:18:31. > :18:36.their second shortly afterwards as they took complete control.

:18:37. > :18:45., West Ham's Dimitri Payet added a third.

:18:46. > :18:57.They are into the second half and France lead 51, the second goal for

:18:58. > :19:01.Olivier Giroud. French nmber 12 seed

:19:02. > :19:04.Jo-Wilfried Tsonga beat American John Isner 19-17

:19:05. > :19:06.in the fifth set of a gripping match Tsonga won after four hours and 24

:19:07. > :19:13.minutes on court two. On the women's side, Serena Williams

:19:14. > :19:16.won through to a fourth-round clash against Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova

:19:17. > :19:18.- the number one seed demolished German Annika Beck as Alex Gulrajani

:19:19. > :19:27.reports. Wimbledon ready opens its doors on a

:19:28. > :19:28.Sunday, and those lucky to get in had their eyes on one match in

:19:29. > :19:56.particular. After dropping three games in the

:19:57. > :20:05.opening set, the second lasted barely 20

:20:06. > :20:08.minutes. The match between John Isner and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, was

:20:09. > :20:13.anything but a swift affair. Six years ago you will remember, John

:20:14. > :20:18.Isner beat Nicolas Mahut in the longest match in history winning the

:20:19. > :20:21.final set 70 games to 68, it was another marathon against Tsonga

:20:22. > :20:24.though not quite as long. This time his know was the loser, 19-17 in the

:20:25. > :20:34.final set. Pep Guardiola has been introduced to

:20:35. > :20:39.Manchester city fans as their new manager. The former Boston and by

:20:40. > :20:46.Munich boss was named as the successor back in favourite but

:20:47. > :20:51.takes over this summer. Thank you for coming here, in of course you

:20:52. > :20:56.house, it is my new house. I am so, so glad to be here, thank you to

:20:57. > :21:01.Manchester city for giving me this amazing opportunity to live in

:21:02. > :21:05.England. In Manchester, to be part of my job in the Premier League, I

:21:06. > :21:13.am pretty sure we are going to enjoy it. I proved myself where I was born

:21:14. > :21:17.in Barcelona, Catalonia, then I proved myself in Deutschland, in

:21:18. > :21:23.Germany. And after, I want to prove myself here, with my people and with

:21:24. > :21:26.my staff and of course with the amazing players. But at the end,

:21:27. > :21:32.what I want after the game, after the season, the people, the

:21:33. > :21:36.supporters, maybe the people who love football, can enjoy had to be

:21:37. > :21:42.proud of what we did. That is in the end the most important thing. After

:21:43. > :21:46.that, maybe we can achieve the titles. If the people are not proud

:21:47. > :21:50.of us, there is nothing to do. One of my dreams would be to play her

:21:51. > :21:55.like a football player, it is not possible but now my dream is come

:21:56. > :21:59.true. I came here like a coach, like Liverpool player, of course the

:22:00. > :22:04.atmosphere here is amazing. And I want to live that in life, and of

:22:05. > :22:08.course, to prove myself if I'm able to be a good manager here in

:22:09. > :22:12.England, that is the reason why. And to come here to learn.

:22:13. > :22:15.Just time to tell you that Lewis Hamilton has won the Austrian Grand

:22:16. > :22:19.Prix. That is all for now. Roswell in New Mexico USA was put

:22:20. > :22:28.on the map in 1947 when aliens steering a UFO allegedly crashed

:22:29. > :22:31.in their spacecraft. Since then, it's become something

:22:32. > :22:35.of a shrine for paranormal fans - and this weekend it's hosting

:22:36. > :22:38.the 2016 UFO Alien Festival - with Let's speak to a UFO investigative

:22:39. > :22:47.that has been looking into the Roswell crash for fifteen

:22:48. > :22:59.years. what do you think of UFO spotting,

:23:00. > :23:06.is it as popular as it used to be? UFO spotting is more popular than

:23:07. > :23:10.ever. Especially with the electronic devices that people have. They can

:23:11. > :23:18.take photographs, videos on the spot, so yes, much more than in the

:23:19. > :23:24.past. UFO spotting is certainly on the increase I would believe. But in

:23:25. > :23:29.the 1950s, that Cold War era, there was a real flurry of the sightings

:23:30. > :23:37.and that seems to have tailed off? For the modern age of UFOs did arise

:24:16. > :24:21.interested, but that is up to you. Could you tell me a bit about the

:24:22. > :24:26.technology, and how it has moved on? Yes, back in the 1950s, we had no

:24:27. > :24:36.cellphones, we had no video cameras, we just had eyewitness reports

:24:37. > :24:40.verbatim. That was basically it, now you have absolute video in most

:24:41. > :24:47.cases. So things moving about in the sky that we cannot explain. So it is

:24:48. > :24:52.the video effect. That has really taken off, at least in my opinion

:24:53. > :24:57.because I remember the 1950s. I'm so sorry to interrupt you, we have run
