:01:52. > :01:53.earlier in the week. The officers were shot
:01:54. > :01:56.at by at least one sniper The shootings happened

:03:09. > :03:12.when one man apparently decided to seek his own bloody vengeance.
:03:13. > :03:18.There was panic as the crowd and the police tried to figure out
:03:19. > :03:28.It's a sniper from up here somewhere.
:03:29. > :03:33.And, as ever, in the America of 2016,
:03:34. > :03:40.the horror was documented, minute by minute.
:03:41. > :03:42.Michael Bautista was in the thick of it.
:03:43. > :03:46.They're shooting right now and there's an officer down.
:03:47. > :03:49.It's coming from the right over there from around these buildings.
:03:50. > :04:00.There had to have been five or six cops, they were
:04:01. > :04:05.Police poured into the area, running towards the danger,
:04:06. > :04:11.heavily armed but, at the same time, suddenly exposed and fragile.
:04:12. > :04:13.This footage seems to capture a gunman, on the street by now,

:04:52. > :04:55.Police arrested and released two men and a woman, and the chief says
:04:56. > :04:59.the suspect who died had told negotiators he was working alone.
:05:00. > :05:04.He's been identified by US media as 25-year-old Micah Johnson -

:05:40. > :05:46.We also know that when people are armed with powerful weapons,
:05:47. > :05:50.unfortunately, it makes attacks like these more deadly
:05:51. > :05:56.And, in the days ahead, we're going to have to consider
:05:57. > :06:02.Some of the police officers here have told me that they have
:06:03. > :06:05.friends who didn't make it last night.
:06:06. > :06:09.And yet they're out here in force again today,
:06:10. > :06:11.protecting a crime scene which sprawls for several blocks
:06:12. > :06:14.around the building here, where the shooting began.
:06:15. > :06:18.And across Texas, across the United States, they are praying.
:06:19. > :06:22.This was the deadliest attack on US law enforcement since 9/11.
:06:23. > :06:27.It reveals a country in turmoil, convulsed by controversy about guns,
:06:28. > :06:46.Let's cross to our correspondent Laura Bicker, who is in Dallas.
:06:47. > :06:51.There was originally some confusion over how many gunmen were involved
:06:52. > :06:57.in this attack, but all signs are now pointing to this suspect Micah
:06:58. > :07:01.Johnson. There has certainly been a bit of confusion. We heard from the
:07:02. > :07:06.Dallas police jeep on a couple of occasions, where he said suspects
:07:07. > :07:10.instead of suspect. But it now appears that certainly be cheap
:07:11. > :07:18.suspect is Micah Johnson, and we have seen pictures of him now in his
:07:19. > :07:22.Army uniform. -- certainly the chief suspect. He served in Afghanistan,
:07:23. > :07:27.the Army has confirmed that. Police have been searching his home here in
:07:28. > :07:33.a suburb, and mixed neighbourhood outside Dallas. This certainly was a
:07:34. > :07:38.very confusing picture for police. It was hours of stand-off where they
:07:39. > :07:42.negotiated with Mr Johnson. Certainly they came to the
:07:43. > :07:47.conclusion that the only way to end their stand-off was to send robot
:07:48. > :07:52.armed with an explosive. That has never been done by the police on US
:07:53. > :07:58.soil, so that is what they did, and the gunman was killed by that bomb.
:07:59. > :08:02.When it comes to the reaction here, both in Texas and right across the
:08:03. > :08:09.United States, the shock is now giving way to a call for
:08:10. > :08:13.unification, for an America that, James mentioned in his package, and
:08:14. > :08:19.America in 2016 that are facing across a very big divide, whether
:08:20. > :08:23.across the racial tensions or about guns or criminal justice. This is an
:08:24. > :08:28.Americano looking at one another, trying to figure out how to move
:08:29. > :08:33.forward. There has been calls for calm in light of what has happened,
:08:34. > :08:39.and also the Orlando shooting is not that long ago. Tensions must be
:08:40. > :08:44.quite high across the country. I have just come from Louisiana, where
:08:45. > :08:47.I was yesterday, where there were several protests at the death of
:08:48. > :08:52.Alton Sterling, who was shot by a white police officer. Certainly
:08:53. > :08:57.there are tensions were running high. The protest that broke out
:08:58. > :09:02.last night right across the United States, from Washington, DC to New
:09:03. > :09:08.York to hear, where peaceful. These were peaceful protests. However, it
:09:09. > :09:12.seems that one man decided perhaps that he would have his vengeance. Of
:09:13. > :09:18.course that is under investigation, but the police has said that he told
:09:19. > :09:22.negotiators he wanted to shoot white people, especially white police
:09:23. > :09:26.officers. You have heard from President Obama today, who has
:09:27. > :09:32.praised the work of police, who said it is no time for America to come
:09:33. > :09:39.together and pray and heal. -- it is now time. We have also heard from
:09:40. > :09:42.Loretta Lynch, who said it is time that the violence ends. Violence
:09:43. > :09:47.solves nothing. These are high-profile figures in America.
:09:48. > :09:51.They are urging people here to stay calm and try to let figures of
:09:52. > :09:53.authority come to some conclusion as to how they bring this issue
:09:54. > :10:14.forward. Thank you very much. The protest in Dallas overnight
:10:15. > :10:17.was mirrored in other cities across America, where there has been
:10:18. > :10:19.real anger over the shootings Our correspondent Nick Bryant
:10:20. > :10:23.is in Minnesota, where he reports This week, America celebrated
:10:24. > :10:32.its national birthday, July the 4th. But what seems to be uniting this
:10:33. > :10:36.country right now is not an idea, an aspiration, a dream,
:10:37. > :10:37.but rather, feelings Saint Paul, Minnesota started
:10:38. > :10:41.as a focal point last night for vigils and demonstrations
:10:42. > :10:43.which unfolded in New York, No words can express the way
:10:44. > :10:46.that we feel. And here, the main speaker
:10:47. > :10:49.was the mother of Philando Castile, the school cafeteria worker shot
:10:50. > :10:51.dead by a policeman. It was my son today,

:10:55. > :10:56.or your grandmother, 50 years after the landmark civil
:10:57. > :11:13.rights reforms of the 1960s, many African-Americans still feel
:11:14. > :11:15.they are second-class citizens. It has fuelled the Black Lives
:11:16. > :11:24.Matter campaign. Why, in 2016, we're
:11:25. > :11:28.still talking about, Why do we have to keep
:11:29. > :11:43.saying, we're human? The mood this morning in Saint Paul
:11:44. > :11:51.was very different. A handful of people where yesterday
:11:52. > :11:56.thousands had gathered. But fury quickly came to the surface
:11:57. > :12:01.over the events here and in Dallas. And I'm sorry to their families,
:12:02. > :12:05.that you feel what we feel. But I'm going to tell you something,
:12:06. > :12:16.and don't think this is insensitive. Many hoped that the election
:12:17. > :12:22.of the country's first African-American president
:12:23. > :12:24.could heal the breach in race relations, that it
:12:25. > :12:49.would usher in what was called Plenty more details interviews and
:12:50. > :12:51.analysis on this story on our website.
:12:52. > :12:54.The Islamic State group says it's behind an attack near a Shia
:12:55. > :12:57.mausoleum in the town of Balad, north of Baghdad, which has killed
:12:58. > :13:01.It comes days after almost 300 people were killed in the worst
:13:02. > :13:04.single bombing in Baghdad since Saddam Hussein was toppled.
:13:05. > :13:09.Here's our Middle East correspondent, Jeremy.
:13:10. > :13:14.The entrance to the shrine in Balad has been badly damaged.
:13:15. > :13:18.The shrine itself is untouched, but here, where there were shops
:13:19. > :13:21.and places for people to buy cold drinks and so on, it is really
:13:22. > :13:29.What the people here are saying is that around midnight,
:13:30. > :13:32.four jihadist gunmen came in, heavily armed, and there was a gun
:13:33. > :13:34.battle lasting one to two hours, and finally the men
:13:35. > :13:40.They have taken a lot of lives with them, a lot
:13:41. > :13:45.All this is happening because the jihadists
:13:46. > :13:47.of Islamic State have been under attack.
:13:48. > :13:51.That's why they hit back last weekend in Baghdad,
:13:52. > :13:54.with that enormous bomb that has killed almost, by now, 300 people,
:13:55. > :14:04.Here, the intention as well, I think, is to try to provoke
:14:05. > :14:06.a return to the worst days of the sectarian wars
:14:07. > :14:12.The idea is to try to destabilise the country,
:14:13. > :14:18.Islamic State have been losing ground in Iraq,
:14:19. > :14:22.and they know that if they lose this country, it's going to be much
:14:23. > :14:25.harder for them to hang on to what they have in Syria.
:14:26. > :14:27.And if that goes, it's the end of their dreams
:14:28. > :14:33.So the likelihood is, they will keep on fighting,
:14:34. > :14:36.they'll keep on hitting, they will continue trying to provoke
:14:37. > :14:38.another sectarian war, or a deepening of the existing
:14:39. > :14:46.So the future, I'm afraid to say, is likely to include many more
:14:47. > :14:51.of these kinds of incidents, many more dead.
:14:52. > :14:53.Now a look at some of the days other news.
:14:54. > :14:56.The population of the European Union increased by nearly two million last
:14:57. > :15:00.The EU statistics agency revealed that the population
:15:01. > :15:03.rose to 510 million, largely due to the influx
:15:04. > :15:08.of refugees and migrants, mainly from the Middle East.
:15:09. > :15:11.And for the first time, the EU recorded more deaths than births
:15:12. > :15:16.Job growth in the United States surged in June, exceeding many
:15:17. > :15:22.Figures showed 287,000 were added to the US economy last month -
:15:23. > :15:28.Analysts had predicted there would be an increase of around 175,000.
:15:29. > :15:33.But the unemployment rate also jumped to 4.9% from 4.8% -
:15:34. > :15:40.this was because of more people entering the labour force.
:15:41. > :15:42.Six people are being treated in hospital in Spain
:15:43. > :15:44.after being gored by bulls during the San Fermin
:15:45. > :15:49.More than 1000 people took part in one of the event's famous

:16:18. > :16:19.They're specifically aimed at deterring threats from Russia,
:16:20. > :16:23.in the light of what happened in Ukraine and Crimea.
:16:24. > :16:25.Nato leaders also discussed the consequences of the UK's
:16:26. > :16:30.Our chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet
:16:31. > :16:50.Yes, Nato often stresses the three Ds, defence, deterrence and
:16:51. > :16:55.dialogue. Here it is very much the deterrence side that is a focus with
:16:56. > :17:02.this new reggae and there are keystone flank. Four battalions
:17:03. > :17:06.stretching across for Baltic states. Nato members, most of all Germany,
:17:07. > :17:10.have been at pains to emphasise to Moscow that this is not meant to be
:17:11. > :17:14.something aggressive towards Russia. They are still open to dialogue. But
:17:15. > :17:19.that has meant an angry response from Moscow today, as the Nato
:17:20. > :17:27.summit got underway. Saying that the idea of the threat from Russia was
:17:28. > :17:32.absurd. Another aspect Russia is concerned about is not just this new
:17:33. > :17:36.gate, but the sanctions, which are taking their toll on the Russian
:17:37. > :17:41.economy. It is for that reason that there is a concern in many ways
:17:42. > :17:45.about Britain's decision to leave the European Union, because Britain
:17:46. > :17:51.has long been a very strong voice within the EU for maintaining
:17:52. > :17:54.sanctions against Russia. When I met Britain's Foreign Secretary Philip
:17:55. > :17:56.Hammond, I asked whether there would now be a wobble in the EU about
:17:57. > :18:02.maintaining those sanctions against Russia. We remain a full member of
:18:03. > :18:07.the European Union, and we will do for some time to come yet. We will
:18:08. > :18:12.continue to make the arguments, as we have done over the last couple of
:18:13. > :18:16.years, to stiffen the resolve of partners to maintain these
:18:17. > :18:22.sanctions. I'm sure we will be able to maintain a robust stance over
:18:23. > :18:26.Russia's aggression in Ukraine. But it is a different question whether
:18:27. > :18:32.in the future, and European Union without Britain in it will have the
:18:33. > :18:36.same political will to do these things. I hope it will, because
:18:37. > :18:42.economic sanctions are a very good way of dealing with this kind of
:18:43. > :18:46.aggression, where we are frankly not willing to meet a military response
:18:47. > :18:49.ourselves, but we do want to send a clear signal that actions have costs
:18:50. > :18:54.to those who are mounting the aggression. British leaders are also
:18:55. > :18:58.trying to send a strong signal here that when it comes to Britain's
:18:59. > :19:06.membership of Nato, it's place at this top table, it will not change.
:19:07. > :19:11.It will remain no and in the future a strong member of the transatlantic
:19:12. > :19:16.alliance. Brexit is not formally on the agenda here, but everyone is
:19:17. > :19:20.talking about it, and expressing anxiety is - what will happen to
:19:21. > :19:24.Britain's defence spending in the future? What will happen to the
:19:25. > :19:28.really crucial relationship between Nato and the European Union? All of
:19:29. > :19:33.the readers here are trying to send out a signal to say there will
:19:34. > :19:37.continue to be a strong relationship between Britain, Nato and Europe,
:19:38. > :19:41.and also, they say, an effort of both to reach out but to send a
:19:42. > :19:44.strong message to Russia as well. -- all of the readers here.
:19:45. > :19:46.France's victory over Germany in Euro 2016

:19:59. > :20:02.It's the first time they have won against Germany in 58 years.

:20:07. > :20:09.Ros Atkins is in Paris - Ros, how expected was this final
:20:10. > :20:25.I think we could have predicted that France would be in the final, they
:20:26. > :20:29.were favourites coming into the turn it. Portugal less so. Let's talk
:20:30. > :20:35.with Jonathan Johnson about this, asset boll writer on French
:20:36. > :20:38.football. We talked right at the beginning of the tournament, and
:20:39. > :20:45.despite the Fifa rankings, Francois was expected to do well. Yes, buoyed
:20:46. > :20:54.by home support, talented team, generation of it excellent young
:20:55. > :21:00.players and experience once. I am not sure the French public really
:21:01. > :21:06.expected them to make the final, but obviously they are delighted to make
:21:07. > :21:10.the final. They are strong favourites. With all respect to
:21:11. > :21:15.Portugal, they have not set the blood racing that often. Absolutely.
:21:16. > :21:20.Looking at how portable has fared so far, and the way that France have
:21:21. > :21:23.been faring, France have to be overwhelming favourites, mix with
:21:24. > :21:26.that home support. Although the home support will be tempered by the fact
:21:27. > :21:30.that there is a big Portuguese contingent that lives here in Paris.
:21:31. > :21:39.All signs point to France victory at the moment. What are your feelings
:21:40. > :21:44.on this expanded euros format, I feel conflicted about it. The Welsh
:21:45. > :21:49.and the Icelandic side have made the case for the bigger pool of teams.
:21:50. > :21:52.There have been some fantastic stories, that has been one of the
:21:53. > :21:56.positives. But to its detriment is the fact that so many games have
:21:57. > :22:01.suffered in quality, like you said. There have been a few dead rubbers.
:22:02. > :22:04.I think one of the biggest problems the tournament has is not
:22:05. > :22:07.necessarily the fact it has been expanded, it is just that there is
:22:08. > :22:12.so much football played during the course of a season that the players
:22:13. > :22:16.are so tired when they arrive it is difficult for them to play at a high
:22:17. > :22:21.level every couple of days. Good to speak to you. Thank you very much
:22:22. > :22:24.indeed. I am here in Paris through the weekend, bringing you coverage
:22:25. > :22:29.from the fanzone right at the base of the Eval tower on the day of the
:22:30. > :22:33.final on Sunday. Depending on who wins, I will either be staying put
