:01:30. > :01:32.Police say he was upset about the recent police
:01:33. > :01:45.And had stated that he wanted to kill white people.
:01:46. > :01:48.Well the attack began at 8:45 on Thursday evening
:01:49. > :02:01.It happened as a peaceful protest made its way through Main Street.
:02:02. > :02:05.when it reached this crossroads, gunfire broke out.
:02:06. > :02:08.Our North America Correspondent - James Cook reports from Dallas.
:02:09. > :02:10.In downtown Dallas, this is the moment a peaceful
:02:11. > :02:19.The crowd was demonstrating against police violence when one
:02:20. > :02:26.man apparently decided to seek his own bloody vengeance.
:02:27. > :02:29.There was panic as the crowd and the police tried to figure out
:02:30. > :02:40.It's a sniper from up here somewhere.
:02:41. > :02:47.And, as ever, in the America of 2016, the horror
:02:48. > :02:54.Michael Bautista was in the thick of it.
:02:55. > :02:56.They're shooting right now and there's an officer down.
:02:57. > :03:02.It's coming from the right over there from around these buildings.
:03:03. > :03:13.There had to have been five or six cops getting shot down.
:03:14. > :03:16.Police poured into the area, running towards the danger,
:03:17. > :03:22.heavily armed but, at the same time, suddenly exposed and fragile.
:03:23. > :03:25.This footage seems to capture a gunman, on the street by now,
:03:26. > :03:27.murdering at point-blank range, in scenes that are too
:03:28. > :03:32.Eventually, after a shoot-out lasting several hours,
:03:33. > :03:38.police sent in a robot to blow up a suspect.
:03:39. > :03:46.We cornered one suspect and we tried to negotiate for several hours.
:03:47. > :03:48.Negotiations broke down, we had an exchange of
:03:49. > :03:54.We saw no other option but to use our bomb robot, for it
:03:55. > :04:06.Police arrested and released two men and a woman, and the chief says
:04:07. > :04:11.the suspect who died had told negotiators he was working alone.
:04:12. > :04:15.He's been identified by US media as 25-year-old Micah Johnson -

:04:27. > :04:28.The suspect stated he wanted to kill white people,

:04:45. > :04:50.Today is a wrenching reminder of the sacrifices
:04:51. > :04:57.We also know that, when people are armed with powerful weapons,
:04:58. > :04:59.unfortunately, it makes attacks like these more deadly
:05:00. > :05:06.And, in the days ahead, we're going to have to consider
:05:07. > :05:13.Some of the police officers here have told me that they have
:05:14. > :05:16.friends who didn't make it last night.
:05:17. > :05:19.And yet they're out here in force again today,
:05:20. > :05:21.protecting a crime scene which sprawls for several blocks
:05:22. > :05:26.around the building here, where the shooting began.
:05:27. > :05:30.And across Texas, across the United States, they are praying.
:05:31. > :05:33.This was the deadliest attack on US law enforcement since 9/11,
:05:34. > :05:35.revealing a country in turmoil, convulsed by controversy about guns,
:05:36. > :05:50.The protest in Dallas was mirrored in other cities across the country.
:05:51. > :05:53.Where there has been fury - over the force used by police
:05:54. > :05:57.This week - the shootings of two black men in Minnesota and Louisiana

:06:03. > :06:15.This week, America celebrated its national birthday, July the 4th.
:06:16. > :06:19.But what seems to be uniting this country right now is not an idea,
:06:20. > :06:21.an aspiration, a dream, but rather, feelings
:06:22. > :06:25.Saint Paul, Minnesota started as a focal point last night
:06:26. > :06:27.for vigils and demonstrations which unfolded in New York,
:06:28. > :06:33.No words can express the way that we feel.
:06:34. > :06:36.And here, the main speaker was the mother of Philando Castile,
:06:37. > :06:41.the school cafeteria worker shot dead by a policeman.
:06:42. > :06:44.It was my son today, but it could be yours tomorrow,
:06:45. > :06:46.or yours the next day, or your grandmother,
:06:47. > :07:07.50 years after the landmark civil rights reforms of the 1960s,
:07:08. > :07:09.many African-Americans still feel they are second-class citizens.
:07:10. > :07:17.It has fuelled the Black Lives Matter campaign.
:07:18. > :07:19.Why, in 2016, we're still talking about,
:07:20. > :07:37.Why do we have to keep saying, we're human?
:07:38. > :07:44.The mood this morning in Saint Paul was very different.
:07:45. > :07:46.A handful of people where yesterday thousands had gathered.
:07:47. > :07:51.But fury quickly came to the surface over the events here and in Dallas.
:07:52. > :07:59.And I'm sorry to their families, that you feel what we feel.
:08:00. > :08:09.But I'm going to tell you something, and don't think this is insensitive.
:08:10. > :08:15.Many hoped that the election of the country's first
:08:16. > :08:16.African-American president could heal the breach
:08:17. > :08:19.in race relations, that it would usher in what was called
:08:20. > :08:35.Well let's get more on this Kimberly Kindy is a journalist
:08:36. > :08:39.with the Washington Post - she joins me now from their newsroom.
:08:40. > :08:59.You've been looking at data about fatal shootings for some time -
:09:00. > :09:09.What have you found? We started investigating after Ferguson. The
:09:10. > :09:15.FBI were woefully under counting the number. In our efforts we have found
:09:16. > :09:21.that fatal police shootings are up by 6%. At this point last year,
:09:22. > :09:30.there were 465 people who had been killed. As of June 30th, we had 491
:09:31. > :09:34.people who had been killed. A 6% increase. The other thing we found
:09:35. > :09:39.was that more and more these incidents are being captured by
:09:40. > :09:46.video. An increase of 38% over last year. We also, this year, in the
:09:47. > :09:50.second year effort, we are looking with much greater depth at the
:09:51. > :09:55.officers themselves. Beginning to gather more information on them. The
:09:56. > :10:04.first piece of this that we rolled out this week was that most of the
:10:05. > :10:09.officers who shot and killed people, at least this year, have been
:10:10. > :10:15.veterans, rookie officers, with one to three years experience. They only
:10:16. > :10:27.represented less than 20% than the largest group with ten or more years
:10:28. > :10:30.of experience, they represent the largest group of shooters.
:10:31. > :10:35.Interesting that most of the officers you found are quite
:10:36. > :10:41.experienced. Why is that? There are a number of theories. We have spoken
:10:42. > :10:47.to criminologists, police experts, and the operating theories are that
:10:48. > :10:54.we have a number of veteran officers that have not gone through the new
:10:55. > :11:03.style of training. The old style of training was rush in, aggressively
:11:04. > :11:09.take control of a situation, and force people to comply if they don't
:11:10. > :11:13.immediately comply with your demands. The new style of training
:11:14. > :11:19.teaches officers to use different tactics. In situations where
:11:20. > :11:25.de-escalation tactics could work. Taking cover. Perhaps call in other
:11:26. > :11:30.offices for back-up. Sometimes that will save the lives of officers and
:11:31. > :11:35.will save the lives of civilians. But that kind of new style of
:11:36. > :11:38.training really is just beginning. Veteran officers have not
:11:39. > :11:46.necessarily been through that. Another theory also was that a lot
:11:47. > :11:50.of veteran officers sign up for high profile high risk assignments.
:11:51. > :11:57.Traffic stops can be incredibly dangerous. They quite often sign up
:11:58. > :12:01.for those because they get good overtime pay. They are dangerous.
:12:02. > :12:06.Those are some of the theories as to why we are seeing more veterans
:12:07. > :12:12.versus Rockies firing these shots. -- rookies. Thanks very much.

:12:33. > :12:35.The population of the European Union increased by nearly two million last
:12:36. > :12:38.The EU statistics agency revealed that it rose to 510 million,
:12:39. > :12:41.largely due to the influx of refugees and migrants,
:12:42. > :12:51.And for the first time the EU recorded more deaths than births

:13:36. > :13:38.Nato has said it doesn't want to isolate Russia -
:13:39. > :13:40.despite its decision to deploy thousands of troops to the eastern
:13:41. > :13:45.Meeting at a summit in Warsaw, Nato leaders have approved
:13:46. > :13:48.the deployment of four thousand troops in Estonia, Lithuania,
:13:49. > :13:52.They're specifically aimed at deterring threats from Russia,
:13:53. > :13:55.in the light of what happened in Ukraine and Crimea.
:13:56. > :13:57.Nato leaders also discussed the consequences of the UK's
:13:58. > :14:00.Our Chief International correspondent Lyse
:14:01. > :14:15.Nato often stresses defence, deterrence, and dialogue. In Warsaw
:14:16. > :14:19.it is very much the deterrent side which is the key focus for their
:14:20. > :14:25.discussions. With the establishment of this new brigade along with what
:14:26. > :14:28.they call their eastern flank, a new brigade with four battalions
:14:29. > :14:34.stretching across four Baltic states. Nato members, most of all
:14:35. > :14:38.Germany, have tried to emphasise to Moscow that this isn't meant to be
:14:39. > :14:43.something aggressive towards Russia. They are still open to dialogue. But
:14:44. > :14:47.that has meant an angry response from Moscow today as the Nato summit
:14:48. > :14:52.got underway, saying that the idea there was a threat from Russia was
:14:53. > :14:57.actually absurd. Another aspect Russia is very concerned about is
:14:58. > :15:03.not just this new brigade, but also the sanctions which are taking their
:15:04. > :15:07.toll on the Russian economy. It is for that reason there is concern, a
:15:08. > :15:11.concern in many ways, about Britain's decision to leave the
:15:12. > :15:14.European Union. Britain has long been a strong voice within the
:15:15. > :15:19.European Union for maintaining sanctions against Russia. When I met
:15:20. > :15:23.Philip Hammond I asked him whether or not there would now be a wobble
:15:24. > :15:28.in the EU about maintaining those sanctions against Russia.
:15:29. > :15:34.We remain a full member of the European Union. We will do for some
:15:35. > :15:38.time to come yet. We will continue to make the arguments, as we've done
:15:39. > :15:42.over the last couple of years, to stiffen the resolve of partners to
:15:43. > :15:49.maintain these sanctions. I am sure that we will be able to maintain a
:15:50. > :15:54.robust stance over Russia's aggression in Ukraine. But it is a
:15:55. > :15:57.different question over whether in the future a European Union without
:15:58. > :16:03.Britain in it will have the same political will to do these things. I
:16:04. > :16:08.hope it will. Because economic sanctions are a very good way of
:16:09. > :16:11.dealing with this kind of aggression where we are, frankly, not willing
:16:12. > :16:16.to make a military response ourselves but we do want to send a
:16:17. > :16:20.clear signal that actions have costs to those who are mounting the
:16:21. > :16:25.aggression. British leaders are also trying to send a strong signal here
:16:26. > :16:29.that when it comes to Britain's membership of Nato its place at the
:16:30. > :16:34.top table it will not change. It will remain now and in the future a
:16:35. > :16:40.strong member of the transatlantic alliance. Brexit isn't formally on
:16:41. > :16:46.the agenda here, but everyone is talking about it and expressing
:16:47. > :16:50.anxiety is over what will happen to Britain's defence spending, what
:16:51. > :16:54.will happen to the relationship, really crucial relationship, between
:16:55. > :16:59.Nato and the EU. All of the leaders here are trying to send out a signal
:17:00. > :17:03.to say they will -- there will continue to be a strong relationship
:17:04. > :17:09.between Britain, Nato, and Europe. And they also say in it that both to
:17:10. > :17:11.reach out and send a strong message to Russia, as well.
:17:12. > :17:15.Stay with us on BBC World News, still to come:
:17:16. > :17:25.The build-up to the final of 2016. Everyone has got the final they were
:17:26. > :17:26.hoping for. It is France against Portugal on Sunday and the
:17:27. > :18:45.excitement is already building. The headlines: The chief suspect of
:18:46. > :18:50.the Dallas shootings that have left five police officers dead has been
:18:51. > :18:54.named as 25-year-old Micah Johnson. He served in Afghanistan. Barack
:18:55. > :18:58.Obama called the shooting of a despicable attack. The Dallas police
:18:59. > :19:00.chief said it was a well-planned, evil tragedy.
:19:01. > :19:03.The Islamic State group says it's behind an attack near a Shia
:19:04. > :19:06.mausoleum in the town of Balad - north of Baghdad, which has killed
:19:07. > :19:12.It comes days after almost 300 people were killed in the worst
:19:13. > :19:14.single bombing in Baghdad since Saddam Hussein was toppled.
:19:15. > :19:18.Here's our Middle East Correspondent, Jeremy
:19:19. > :19:31.The entrance to the shrine in Balad has been badly damaged. The shrine
:19:32. > :19:37.itself has been untouched, but here, where there were shops, it is really
:19:38. > :19:44.very badly damaged. What the people are saying is that around midnight
:19:45. > :19:49.four jihadists gunmen came in. Heavily armed. And there was a gun
:19:50. > :19:53.battle lasting one to two hours. Finally the men blew themselves up.
:19:54. > :19:57.They have taken a lot of lives with them. A lot of people wounded, as
:19:58. > :20:03.well. All this is happening because the jihadists of IS have been under
:20:04. > :20:08.attack. That is why they hit back last weekend in Baghdad with that
:20:09. > :20:12.enormous bomb that has killed almost, by now, 300 people as the
:20:13. > :20:18.wounded are still dying. Here, the intention is to try to provoke a
:20:19. > :20:24.return to the worst days of the sectarian wars of eight to ten years
:20:25. > :20:30.ago. The idea is to try to destabilise the country, unhinge it,
:20:31. > :20:34.if they can. IS have been losing ground in Iraq. They know that if
:20:35. > :20:38.they lose this country it is going to be much harder for them to hang
:20:39. > :20:44.on to what they have in Syria. And if that goes it is the end of their
:20:45. > :20:46.dreams of a so-called caliphate. The likelihood is they will keep on
:20:47. > :20:53.fighting, keep on hitting, continue trying to provoke another sectarian
:20:54. > :20:58.war or a deepening of the existing sectarian war here in Iraq. So the
:20:59. > :21:01.future, I am afraid to say, is likely to include many more of these
:21:02. > :21:03.kinds of incidents, and many more dead.
:21:04. > :21:06.Sunday's Wimbledon men's final will be between Britain's Andy Murray
:21:07. > :21:11.Murray booked his place with a straight sets victory
:21:12. > :21:17.It's his third final - he hasn't won the title since 2013.
:21:18. > :21:26.The match they had all been waiting for, hoping to record the moment
:21:27. > :21:32.when Andy Murray reached another Wimbledon singles final.
:21:33. > :21:35.He has been at least this far six times in the last seven years,
:21:36. > :21:37.and maybe that experience made the difference.
:21:38. > :21:39.Berdych made 13 unforced errors in the first set.
:21:40. > :21:40.In contrast, Murray was almost infallible.
:21:41. > :21:43.Two breaks of serve to one, the first set dispatched 6-3.
:21:44. > :21:50.Both players settled in the second and showed what they are capable of.
:21:51. > :21:58.Although this was just to hold on to his serve early on.
:21:59. > :22:02.Tomas Berdych has been a top ten player for more than six years now
:22:03. > :22:04.and is more than capable of giving Murray the runaround.
:22:05. > :22:13.They were neck and neck for six years.
:22:14. > :22:15.Relief when Murray finally made the breakthrough
:22:16. > :22:18.in front of a good 90% of the centre court crowd.
:22:19. > :22:20.It was not long before they got what they wanted.
:22:21. > :22:24.An outright winner for the second set.
:22:25. > :22:28.Berdych had made it to the final back in 2010.
:22:29. > :22:32.But as the third set progressed it was obvious it wasn't
:22:33. > :22:42.As good as the Czech was, Murray was just that bit better.
:22:43. > :22:43.COMMENTATOR: Murray continues to torment Tomas Berdych.
:22:44. > :22:46.It would not be long before it was all over.
:22:47. > :22:48.Just under two hours, in fact, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3.
:22:49. > :22:50.Perhaps he will appreciate being that little bit
:22:51. > :22:53.fresher for Wimbledon final number three.
:22:54. > :23:03.He will be hoping to give British tennis fans something to really
:23:04. > :23:19.Milos Raonic stunt Roger Federer with a dramatic five set win. Roger
:23:20. > :23:23.Federer looked on course for victory when leading 2-1. Then he was
:23:24. > :23:27.hampered by a thigh problem. Milos Raonic will be the first Canadian to
:23:28. > :23:36.play in the final of a major tournament.
:23:37. > :23:38.France's victory over Germany in Euro 2016,
:23:39. > :23:40.which secured them a place in the final of Euro 2016.
:23:41. > :23:42.Well understandably it led to scenes like these -
:23:43. > :23:45.right across the country - thousands of proud French fans -
:23:46. > :23:49.It is the first time they have won against Germany in 58 years.
:23:50. > :23:52.France now face Portugal in the final on Sunday.
:23:53. > :23:55.Ros Atkins is in Paris - Ros how expected was this final
:23:56. > :24:02.Hopes must be high. The scene has been set. The weather
:24:03. > :24:07.is good, the Eiffel Tower is looking glorious, and the French are in the
:24:08. > :24:10.final. Something shifted last night. At the beginning of the tournament
:24:11. > :24:14.you could walk around Paris and he would not even know anything was
:24:15. > :24:19.happening. Lots of people not tuned in. But walking around last night,
:24:20. > :24:24.there were people all over the streets, tooting their horns, waving
