:00:00. > :00:00.This is BBC World News Today with me, Geeta Guru Murthy.

:00:07. > :00:10.France reels from another horrific attack

:00:11. > :00:17.An elderly priest in the city of Rouen is brutally murdered by two

:00:18. > :00:20.men armed with knives, who filmed the attack before

:00:21. > :00:28.Very, very gentle, kind priest, attentive to people.

:00:29. > :00:33.He wanted to be at the work until the end.

:00:34. > :00:36.He was helping the parish priest here.

:00:37. > :00:38.Police have made an arrest following the attack,

:00:39. > :00:41.in which several people were held hostage.

:00:42. > :00:46.President Hollande visited the scene.

:00:47. > :00:48.TRANSLATION: This group has declared war against us.

:00:49. > :00:52.We must face up to this war by all means.

:00:53. > :00:55.I'm Nick Bryant at the Democratic Party convention in Philadelphia,

:00:56. > :00:58.where Bill Clinton is due to speak later.

:00:59. > :01:01.Last night, Michelle Obama brought a degree of unity to a fractured

:01:02. > :01:07.party as she heaped praised on their Presidential candidate.

:01:08. > :01:12.Because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters, and all our sons

:01:13. > :01:17.and daughters, take for granted that a woman can be president

:01:18. > :01:43.The attacks keep coming, the horror is unimaginable.

:01:44. > :01:49.Foul attacks in the last two weeks alone in France or Germany, inspired

:01:50. > :01:54.by so-called Islamic State. Today an 84-year-old Catholic Priest

:01:55. > :01:56.was murdered in church. Two men armed with knives stormed

:01:57. > :01:59.into morning mass in the northern city of Rouen and took

:02:00. > :02:01.several people hostage. A nun who escaped says the attackers

:02:02. > :02:04.forced the priest to kneel The attackers were

:02:05. > :02:07.shot dead by police. This scene has become France's

:02:08. > :02:21.shorthand for horror. Today, the sirens were sounding

:02:22. > :02:31.for the dead and wounded of saying for an elderly priest and a handful

:02:32. > :02:36.of nuns and worshippers knifed during their morning service by two

:02:37. > :02:39.men claiming to wage Father Jacques Hamel was executed

:02:40. > :02:43.in this quiet local church. Reports say his throat was cut.

:02:44. > :02:45.He was 84 years old. His attackers shot dead by police

:02:46. > :02:48.as they stepped outside Jean-Claude had known

:02:49. > :02:55.Father Jacques for years. This was a peaceful town,

:02:56. > :02:58.he says, too small to be a target. TRANSLATION: I knew

:02:59. > :03:04.the priest personally. The nuns were my neighbours,

:03:05. > :03:07.and they would have lunch together next door.

:03:08. > :03:11.They were humble people. The priest was a good

:03:12. > :03:16.man, calm and friendly. Today, the line between president

:03:17. > :03:20.and public was thin. But this was an act designed

:03:21. > :03:25.to start a war, create division. An act the president linked

:03:26. > :03:30.to so-called Islamic State, TRANSLATION: The threat

:03:31. > :03:35.remains high, very high. This is what we've lived

:03:36. > :03:37.through over the past few days, We must face up to this war

:03:38. > :03:45.by all means, whilst respecting The far right leader Marine Le Pen

:03:46. > :03:51.has described it as another horror Less than two weeks after its last

:03:52. > :03:58.attack here, France is again faced with the problem of how

:03:59. > :04:03.to confront its jihadist threat. Police have raided a nearby flat

:04:04. > :04:06.amid reports that one of the attackers was a local man,

:04:07. > :04:09.who may have been wearing an electronic tag after trying

:04:10. > :04:13.to travel to Syria. But this is a national battle,

:04:14. > :04:17.for the things France values most - its freedoms,

:04:18. > :04:23.its lifestyle, its identity. Each time, France argues a little

:04:24. > :04:26.more over the cause of this menace and how to beat it,

:04:27. > :04:35.and each time, it happens again. With me now is Frederic

:04:36. > :04:37.Ischebeck-Baum, Intelligence and Security Analyst

:04:38. > :04:49.at King's College London. Just to let you know, President

:04:50. > :04:52.Hollande has just been speaking, and he said that the threat from Islamic

:04:53. > :05:00.militants has never been so great in France. Obviously, he has said

:05:01. > :05:04.before this is a war. But France is just not equipped to fight a war

:05:05. > :05:08.with the enemy in its midst, is it? With so many new migrants who have

:05:09. > :05:14.been welcomed into Europe I Angela Merkel, nobody knows who they are.

:05:15. > :05:19.Well, the migration and refugee issue is certainly flaring up again

:05:20. > :05:25.in the whole discussion. The thing as that now we know that one of the

:05:26. > :05:31.attackers from today happened to be known to the security services.

:05:32. > :05:34.Occasional failure is something quite natural, sadly, so people

:05:35. > :05:39.slipping through the net of security is something we cannot avoid.

:05:40. > :05:42.But we have no idea, with all the people who came in. I know some of

:05:43. > :05:45.these attacks are not being committed by new arrivals, but the

:05:46. > :05:49.fact is, people are going to be incredibly fearful and scared, and

:05:50. > :05:52.the rise of right-wing politics, we have seen it already, it is

:05:53. > :05:55.inevitable, isn't it, if the authorities got no answer key macro

:05:56. > :05:58.because these attacks are coming daily.

:05:59. > :06:05.Yes, indeed. I fear that we will see a shift to the right, obviously.

:06:06. > :06:08.Stemming from the public fear, as you say.

:06:09. > :06:16.Do you think, though, that the fact that each new attack is still,

:06:17. > :06:20.obviously, the horror is so bleak, that there is a risk of contagion?

:06:21. > :06:23.We have seen four in two weeks. What about the fear of the copycat, the

:06:24. > :06:26.fact that the media inevitably have to report this?

:06:27. > :06:32.Yes, this is clearly something we can observe. We can observe three

:06:33. > :06:37.things, I believe. The first is individuals who clearly have a

:06:38. > :06:40.well-established link with Islamic State, so they have people behind

:06:41. > :06:47.these attackers. Then you can see the lone wolves, as we know them,

:06:48. > :06:52.and then, there are also the typical copycats, so the issue I see here is

:06:53. > :07:00.that if someone, for example, who has no IS background, they can,

:07:01. > :07:03.before, during or shortly after the attack, most of the time shortly

:07:04. > :07:07.before they die, they can just declare that this happened to be in

:07:08. > :07:10.the name of IS, and this is what makes us deal with the attack.

:07:11. > :07:14.What are the responses you are hearing about? Germany is talking

:07:15. > :07:21.about some change now, isn't it? Well, there has to be some change,

:07:22. > :07:25.in modus operandi, as to how the intelligence of the two services

:07:26. > :07:30.operate, but again, as I said in the beginning, occasional failure, I

:07:31. > :07:35.would not want to call it failure, really, but occasional attacks that

:07:36. > :07:38.do happen... What about the talk of potential conscription in Germany

:07:39. > :07:43.and a new National Guard and so on? Well, in Germany right now,

:07:44. > :07:47.conscription is suspended, by the constitution. I haven't heard

:07:48. > :07:52.anything about re-enacting it yet, but people are talking about

:07:53. > :07:56.establishing something like the National Guard. These talks have

:07:57. > :07:59.happened in Berlin today. So we will see where things go. I fear, as I

:08:00. > :08:02.said before, that there will be a shift to the right.

:08:03. > :08:07.You think, briefly, that the media is playing a role in this? Yes. In

:08:08. > :08:11.what way? Should we be doing something different key macro

:08:12. > :08:14.terrorism needs publicity. Without publicity, without the media,

:08:15. > :08:19.terrorism fails to achieve its goal. So the best thing would be to cut

:08:20. > :08:21.off every media from them, but that is, of course, something we can't

:08:22. > :08:22.do. We will have to leave it there. I do

:08:23. > :08:26.very much. -- thank you very much. In the US, Hillary Clinton is due

:08:27. > :08:29.to be formally nominated in a few hours' time by the Democratic Party

:08:30. > :08:32.to be the first woman The traditional roll call

:08:33. > :08:35.of delegates could get feisty, unless Bernie Sanders has been

:08:36. > :08:37.persuaded to effectively And hoping to build on the unifying

:08:38. > :08:43.speech by Michelle Obama last night, this evening, appearing

:08:44. > :08:46.at the Convention for the first time as a political spouse,

:08:47. > :08:51.the former President, Bill Clinton. For more, let's cross

:08:52. > :09:03.to the BBC's Nick Bryant, Nick, it is extraordinary. I first

:09:04. > :09:07.saw Bill Clinton speak in the immediate aftermath of the Monica

:09:08. > :09:10.Lewinsky scandal, when his wife, of course, had been globally

:09:11. > :09:15.humiliated, and here he is coming to draw attention and proclaim his wife

:09:16. > :09:20.as a potential future leader. Yes, I covered that in Washington as

:09:21. > :09:24.well. What amazes me most is, I wrote my first Bill Clinton story

:09:25. > :09:29.almost 25 years ago! I am feeling like a veterans and night here in

:09:30. > :09:32.Philadelphia. I think we are seeing a different kind of Bill Clinton in

:09:33. > :09:37.this campaign. He doesn't quite have the energy, perhaps not the same

:09:38. > :09:41.magnetism, perhaps not the same sort of overpowering charisma that he has

:09:42. > :09:46.had in previous years. He made a remarkable speech in 2012 on behalf

:09:47. > :09:49.of Barack Obama, in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the Democrats last

:09:50. > :09:53.met. Can he do the things I? Big question. And then he repeat the

:09:54. > :09:58.success last night at Michelle Obama, talking about charisma and

:09:59. > :09:59.magnetism. She really did deliver an electrifying speech last night, as

:10:00. > :10:02.you can hear now. In this election, and every

:10:03. > :10:04.election, it is about who will have the power

:10:05. > :10:07.to shape our children for the next And I am here tonight because,

:10:08. > :10:20.in this election, there is only one person who I trust with

:10:21. > :10:23.that responsibility. Only one person who I believe

:10:24. > :10:27.is truly qualified to be President of the United States,

:10:28. > :10:42.and that is our friend, Some speech. Well, joining me here

:10:43. > :10:48.in Philadelphia is a long-time Hillary Clinton supporter, worked in

:10:49. > :10:50.the Bill Clinton White House, on the National Security Council, and also

:10:51. > :10:55.in Hillary Clinton's State Department. Daniel Farmer, welcome

:10:56. > :10:58.to the programme. When you heard those blues yesterday, as a

:10:59. > :11:02.long-term fan of Hillary Clinton, had it make you feel? I think the

:11:03. > :11:06.most important thing to note is, we saw last night a remarkable

:11:07. > :11:11.experience, where I think the perception that this is a party that

:11:12. > :11:14.does not, is not unified at this point, is way overblown. We saw over

:11:15. > :11:17.the course of the evening those blues being minimised to the point

:11:18. > :11:23.where you did not hear them at all any more. Most you saw laid out such

:11:24. > :11:27.a stark difference between what Democrats were laying out together,

:11:28. > :11:31.and unified, compared to the very frightening philosophy that Donald

:11:32. > :11:34.Trump and his supporters have laid out.

:11:35. > :11:40.A lot of Bernie Sanders supporters here clearly hate Hillary Clinton.

:11:41. > :11:43.Not just dislike, but hate her. And her public persona, a lot of people

:11:44. > :11:47.in the country at large, don't like her either. How does her public

:11:48. > :11:51.persona differed from the Hillary Clinton you know, and why is she

:11:52. > :11:54.having so much difficulty with this kind of likeability issue?

:11:55. > :11:59.First of all, this is a person that has endured just a barrage of

:12:00. > :12:06.attacks from 25 years, but my experience with her is, and that

:12:07. > :12:09.virtually anyone who has worked with her, is overwhelmingly positive, and

:12:10. > :12:12.the reason that we are all such passionate supporters. Not only are

:12:13. > :12:17.we so frightened by the prospect of a trump presidency, but we truly

:12:18. > :12:21.believe in this Hillary Clinton, the one that I know is extremely

:12:22. > :12:26.thoughtful, is a listener, is very analytic, is rigorous, is one, is

:12:27. > :12:29.funny, writes to my young daughters when they send very Christmas card,

:12:30. > :12:35.and they now believe, as Michelle Obama said last night, that they can

:12:36. > :12:39.do anything. Brings back a teddy bear from Afghanistan for them at

:12:40. > :12:43.some point. And one that I just trust her judgment and their

:12:44. > :12:46.analysis, anything that she would make a wonderful president. We have

:12:47. > :12:48.never seen a candidate this prepared before.

:12:49. > :12:52.So when you look at Hillary Clinton on the political stage, do you see a

:12:53. > :12:55.different person than the Hillary Clinton you see behind closed doors

:12:56. > :13:01.and on the diplomatic stage? We certainly saw on the diplomatic

:13:02. > :13:06.stage where her favourite abilities were very high, and the US stage and

:13:07. > :13:10.internationally, by the time you laptop is. She introduced America to

:13:11. > :13:13.the rest of the world again, extreme since her split, and built extremely

:13:14. > :13:16.successful relationships with the UK, Europe and elsewhere, and

:13:17. > :13:20.demonstrated this belief in partnership and doing these things

:13:21. > :13:23.together, not only domestic, but in our international partnerships, as

:13:24. > :13:25.we saw in Afghanistan, which I was responsible for, with a very strong

:13:26. > :13:30.and important support of the British others.

:13:31. > :13:33.So I see someone that I believe in, and I know has the experience and

:13:34. > :13:36.judgment to be a remarkable president.

:13:37. > :13:39.We will see how many people agree with you at the end of this

:13:40. > :13:43.convention, and indeed, at the end of this election. Many thanks.

:13:44. > :13:45.And with that, we handed back to London.

:13:46. > :13:47.In for another fun few hours! Thank you very much.

:13:48. > :13:49.Later today at the Democratic convention, we'll be hearing

:13:50. > :13:52.from the mothers of Eric Garner and Michael Brown.

:13:53. > :13:55.They were two black men whose deaths at the hands of police sparked

:13:56. > :14:06.That whole question of all the tensions linked to race in the US

:14:07. > :14:08.have alarmed similar people across the country.

:14:09. > :14:10.Singer Michelle Williams sold millions of records around the world

:14:11. > :14:13.as part of the American group Destiny's Child in the

:14:14. > :14:17.More recently, she's been speaking out on racial tensions in the US,

:14:18. > :14:19.as result of a spate of shootings involving black men

:14:20. > :14:24.The BBC caught up with her on a trip to the UK and asked her how

:14:25. > :14:27.she reacted to the recent series of shootings.

:14:28. > :14:33.My reaction is still shock, hurt, questions.

:14:34. > :14:38.What were they thinking, the fear, and how

:14:39. > :14:43.Did you know that they were scared for their life?

:14:44. > :14:48.They don't know what's going on, and then you just shoot them

:14:49. > :14:51.because you have a gun in your hand and your hand's on the trigger

:14:52. > :14:53.and you think that's your only choice.

:14:54. > :14:56.Now, I don't know what goes on in the police academy, and

:14:57. > :15:00.I thank the amazing good police and authority that there is,

:15:01. > :15:06.because there is more good, I believe, than there is bad.

:15:07. > :15:10.Are you trained to get your gun first, or are you trying to

:15:11. > :15:17.Even just the other day, a man in Miami -

:15:18. > :15:20.I don't know if you saw - he's lying on the ground, his hands

:15:21. > :15:23.are actually up, he's saying, "I don't have a gun.

:15:24. > :15:31.And you still shot him! So it's like, man!

:15:32. > :15:33.When you're doing right, you still might get shot.

:15:34. > :15:41.And now, to think that every time a black man

:15:42. > :15:44.goes out of his house, he has to worry, what is he going

:15:45. > :15:54.to encounter today that might not end so well?

:15:55. > :15:57.What, because you're angry, you don't like

:15:58. > :16:02.them, you think I'm going to take justice into my own hands?

:16:03. > :16:08.Somebody got a phone call saying, can you come identify this body?

:16:09. > :16:11.No matter how you slice it, it's all wrong.

:16:12. > :16:29.Uniting with people different from you, actually being hands-on with

:16:30. > :16:37.people who are different from you always helps, so that you can no.

:16:38. > :16:38.Getting out there. Get in the hood. Singer Michelle Williams, speaking

:16:39. > :16:39.to the BBC. Police in Japan are questioning

:16:40. > :16:42.a 26-year-old man about the country's worst mass

:16:43. > :16:43.killing in generations. He's suspected of stabbing 19 people

:16:44. > :16:48.to death at a residential care home near Tokyo where he worked

:16:49. > :16:51.until February this year. Many more were injured.

:16:52. > :16:54.John Sudworth reports. This CCTV footage from outside

:16:55. > :16:58.the care home is thought to capture the moment late last night

:16:59. > :17:02.that the killer arrived, This morning, forensic teams

:17:03. > :17:09.began piecing together the elements of a crime

:17:10. > :17:13.that is beyond imagination. And Japan is a country

:17:14. > :17:18.in profound shock. In room after room,

:17:19. > :17:20.the victims were found Many had serious

:17:21. > :17:25.mental disabilities. The oldest of those

:17:26. > :17:28.killed was aged 70. Shortly afterwards, a former

:17:29. > :17:37.employee at the care home, 26-year-old Satoshi Uematsu,

:17:38. > :17:40.seen here in a Facebook photo, TRANSLATION: This wasn't

:17:41. > :17:48.an impulsive crime, where the suspect just blew up

:17:49. > :17:50.and grabbed a knife. He went in the dead of night,

:17:51. > :17:53.opened one door at a time, and stabbed sleeping people

:17:54. > :17:56.one at a time. Again, this footage is said

:17:57. > :18:01.to match the timings, and shortly afterwards,

:18:02. > :18:04.the alleged killer handed himself Uematsu had begun to publicly

:18:05. > :18:14.express his disturbing view that disabled people, unable to live

:18:15. > :18:18.independent lives, should be killed, and in February this year,

:18:19. > :18:21.his employment came to an end after he wrote

:18:22. > :18:26.to the national parliament. The letter, pictures of which have

:18:27. > :18:29.been broadcast today, was enough to prompt the authorities

:18:30. > :18:33.to act, and Uematsu was detained But, just two weeks later,

:18:34. > :18:39.he was released, returning to live in this house a short

:18:40. > :18:42.distance from the care home. TRANSLATION: When I worked there,

:18:43. > :18:47.the staff and tenants Amid the grief, the debate

:18:48. > :18:55.is already turning to whether more Now a look at some of

:18:56. > :19:04.the day's other news. There have been two car bomb attacks

:19:05. > :19:08.at the main entrance to the airport in the Somali capital,

:19:09. > :19:10.Mogadishu. Bursts of gunfire have

:19:11. > :19:12.been heard at the scene. At least 12 people are believed

:19:13. > :19:15.to be dead, many of them The Islamist group Al Shabaab says

:19:16. > :19:21.that it carried out the attack. Canoeing is the latest

:19:22. > :19:31.sport to ban some Russian The president of South Sudan has

:19:32. > :19:36.sacked his long-standing rival, the opposition leader, and replaced him

:19:37. > :19:42.as first vice president with the former mining minister. He fled the

:19:43. > :19:46.capital at Cawood Juba earlier this month, after fighting between his

:19:47. > :19:49.forces and those loyal to the president left hundreds dead.

:19:50. > :19:52.The Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina says a swift operation

:19:53. > :19:54.against suspected Islamist militants has saved the country

:19:55. > :19:55.from what she called "a terrible situation".

:19:56. > :19:58.Her comments came after police said they killed nine Islamists

:19:59. > :20:00.at their hideout in the capital Dhaka.

:20:01. > :20:04.It is not yet clear which group the men belonged to.

:20:05. > :20:07.From the capital, Anbarasan Ethirajan.

:20:08. > :20:10.It's hard to imagine that suspected Islamists were living in a quiet

:20:11. > :20:12.residential area like this one here in Dhaka.
