:00:09. > :00:10.Hello and welcome to BBC World News today.

:00:11. > :00:13.The Headlines: French religious leaders call for more security

:00:14. > :00:15.at places of worship following the brutal murder

:00:16. > :00:18.Fresh pictures emerge of the siege at the Normandy church

:00:19. > :00:21.where Islamists carried out the killing on Tuesday.

:00:22. > :00:24.Pope Francis has said the recent spate of jihadist attacks in Europe

:00:25. > :00:27.is proof that the world is, as he put it, at war,

:00:28. > :00:34.but he said he didn't mean it was a "war of religions."

:00:35. > :00:36.A big explosion in a mainly Kurdish city in northeastern Syria has

:00:37. > :00:39.caused massive destruction - at least 40 people have died

:00:40. > :00:44.On patrol ahead of the Rio games - the head of security tells the BBC

:00:45. > :01:00.the threat of a terror attack is one of his biggest concerns.

:01:01. > :01:02.The head of France's Muslim community has described yesterday's

:01:03. > :01:05.murder by Islamists of an elderly priest as "blasphemous

:01:06. > :01:09.sacrilege which goes against all the teachings of our religion".

:01:10. > :01:12.Dalil Boubakeur joined representatives of Christian,

:01:13. > :01:16.Jewish and Buddhist faiths in a show of unity with President Hollande.

:01:17. > :01:19.They called for more security at places of worship.

:01:20. > :01:22.The priest, Father Jacques Hamel, was killed while conducting

:01:23. > :01:25.morning mass in his church in a suburb of Rouen.

:01:26. > :01:29.His killer, 19 year old Adel Kermiche, had twice

:01:30. > :01:31.previously tried to join the so-called Islamic State group -

:01:32. > :01:36.also known as Daesh - in Syria.

:01:37. > :01:40.Our correspondent Lucy Williamson reports.

:01:41. > :01:46.The words that follow these attacks have lost their power to console.

:01:47. > :01:49.They used to give France strength, now they highlight its betrayal.

:01:50. > :01:52.In the streets where he grew up, Adel Kermiche is remembered

:01:53. > :01:58.as a troubled man whose radical views had already alerted his

:01:59. > :02:03.TRANSLATION: He was clearly pro-Daesh.

:02:04. > :02:09.Once his parents took him to the police station,

:02:10. > :02:12.they said, lock him up, he's going to commit a crime.

:02:13. > :02:14.The police said they were already monitoring him, but couldn't

:02:15. > :02:22.Last year, he was arrested in Germany while trying to reach Syria.

:02:23. > :02:24.Two months later, he was caught again in Turkey and

:02:25. > :02:29.In March this year he was released with an electronic tag,

:02:30. > :02:31.which allowed him to leave his house between 8:30

:02:32. > :02:34.During that window yesterday morning, he came here

:02:35. > :02:39.and together with an accomplice, carried out his assault while elite

:02:40. > :02:43.The moment filmed by a local resident who was woken by the noise.

:02:44. > :02:45.With every new target and every new location,

:02:46. > :02:50.So that the death of a local priest in this small suburban church

:02:51. > :02:51.becomes a test of national resilience, an attack

:02:52. > :02:55.In Paris, the government was left defending itself against

:02:56. > :02:59.the charge that its defence of France had failed.

:03:00. > :03:06.But was this a failure of intelligence, security or judgment?

:03:07. > :03:08.Or simply the result of freedoms the country wants to protect?

:03:09. > :03:11.TRANSLATION: Everything that can be done under the rule of law

:03:12. > :03:14.There can still be some changes, discussions.

:03:15. > :03:16.We are open to suggestions from the opposition.

:03:17. > :03:22.But you cannot protect the rule of law by rejecting the rule of law.

:03:23. > :03:29.And on a visit to Italy today, the Prime Minister said

:03:30. > :03:31.In the Church of Notre Dame tonight, prayers have begun to honour

:03:32. > :03:34.Father Jacques Hamel and the hostages of Saint Etienne.

:03:35. > :03:36.But faith in France's protectors is harder now,

:03:37. > :03:37.with the country divided over what protection means.

:03:38. > :03:44.Pope Francis has said the recent series of jihadist attacks in Europe

:03:45. > :03:48.is proof that the world is, as he put it, at war.

:03:49. > :03:50.The pope was careful to stress he did not mean

:03:51. > :03:53.it was a "war of religions", but rather a conflict between

:03:54. > :03:57.He made the comments to journalists on board his plane to Poland

:03:58. > :04:24.TRANSLATION: The world is at war, in pieces. There was the war of 1914

:04:25. > :04:31.with its methods, then the big war of 1939-1945, and now this. It is

:04:32. > :04:57.not organic. Organised, yes, but not organic. But it is war.

:04:58. > :05:02.This holy priest who died at the very moment in which he offered the

:05:03. > :05:08.prayer for peace is one, but how many Christians, how many more

:05:09. > :05:13.innocent people, how many more children will die?

:05:14. > :05:18.Let's take you to Krakow and speak to our correspondent Tom Burridge.

:05:19. > :05:26.- Adam Easton. Strong words from a very sombre Pope Francis but she was

:05:27. > :05:30.very keen to point out that he did not mean it was a war between

:05:31. > :05:36.religions. I think what he wanted to point out was to actually call a

:05:37. > :05:41.spade a spade. He said often terror attacks, the word used is insecurity

:05:42. > :05:46.and he said that is not the correct word. The word we should be using is

:05:47. > :05:49.war. So I think he wanted to highlight the severity, the gravity

:05:50. > :05:54.of the situation that the world is facing. He later came back

:05:55. > :05:59.afterwards and said that he wasn't referring about a religious war. He

:06:00. > :06:05.said that all world religions want peace, so the assumption would be

:06:06. > :06:08.that the people who carry out these terror attacks are not true

:06:09. > :06:12.believers of their faiths, and as you said and in the clip we just

:06:13. > :06:21.heard, he talked about some of the more general causes of conflict such

:06:22. > :06:27.as competition for scarce resources, competition for land, the domination

:06:28. > :06:31.and also for power. A little bit later, he gave a speech in front of

:06:32. > :06:39.the Polish president and the Polish bishops in the beautiful Gothic

:06:40. > :06:45.castle. He did not refer to terror attacks there, but he did refer to

:06:46. > :06:50.consequences of conflict, of war, and she meets a rather pointed

:06:51. > :06:56.comment to the Polish host and said that not only society and churches

:06:57. > :07:02.but states should do more to welcome refugees, asylum seekers, people

:07:03. > :07:05.fleeing war and hunger, and to say that in front of the Polish

:07:06. > :07:08.authorities is quite something, of course, because the Polish

:07:09. > :07:11.authorities have made it clear that they are not interested in taking

:07:12. > :07:19.any Muslim refugees or asylum seekers. That is also pretty much

:07:20. > :07:23.the opinion of the majority of Polish society so a rather pointed

:07:24. > :07:28.remark to be made by the Pope in his first speech after he arrived in his

:07:29. > :07:29.host country. Adam, thank you very much. Adam Easton in crack of in

:07:30. > :07:37.Poland. -- Krakow in Poland. There was another reminder today

:07:38. > :07:39.that most of so-called Islamic State's victims

:07:40. > :07:41.are in the Middle East Around 50 people were killed

:07:42. > :07:44.after a truck bomb, which IS says it planted, exploded

:07:45. > :07:47.in the predominantly Kurdish town The BBC's Yogita Limaye reports

:07:48. > :07:49.from Beirut. Even before they understand what's

:07:50. > :07:57.hit them, another explosion. A fuel tank blows up,

:07:58. > :08:01.triggered by the bomb that went off near a Kurdish military

:08:02. > :08:06.government building. There used to be shops, homes,

:08:07. > :08:11.and a busy street here. Dozens have been killed in the worst

:08:12. > :08:16.terrorist attack this city has seen. Two of them are doctors and like

:08:17. > :08:25.most of the family they are living here, most of the family

:08:26. > :08:31.have lost members here. Not just here, I'm living far

:08:32. > :08:34.from here about 700 metres, all the windows in my house

:08:35. > :08:36.are destroyed completely because of So-called Islamic state has

:08:37. > :08:59.said it was behind the This woman was in her house when the

:09:00. > :09:03.explosion occurred. TRANSLATION: When I looked at myself, I saw blood

:09:04. > :09:07.on my hands. Then my son came rushing out of the bathroom and

:09:08. > :09:11.asked me how I was. I said, I don't know. And I wasn't sure if his wife

:09:12. > :09:14.had been killed. As for the rest, they were being pulled out by

:09:15. > :09:17.others. I don't know if they are dead or alive.

:09:18. > :09:19.So-called Islamic state has said it was behind the

:09:20. > :09:23.Qamishli is a mainly Kurdish city near the border with Turkey.

:09:24. > :09:28.The Kurds are battling Islamic state across northern Syria.

:09:29. > :09:32.Backed by the US, and along with some Arab forces,

:09:33. > :09:35.a major offensive has been underway to regain the town of Manbij.

:09:36. > :09:49.And IS say the attack in Qamishli is retaliation for that.

:09:50. > :10:01.Freelance journalist Basheer Talate is in Qamishli.

:10:02. > :10:09.And looked at this officer, they told me they could not stop it. The

:10:10. > :10:13.attacks happen everywhere. Not just here but also in Europe. There is a

:10:14. > :10:18.lot of sadness but because a lot of the people you can see that they are

:10:19. > :10:29.used to this but at the same time they are saying that ices cannot

:10:30. > :10:31.kill the lights inside us. -- ices. -- Isis.

:10:32. > :10:33.Police in the East of England investigating the attempted

:10:34. > :10:36.abduction of a Royal Air Force serviceman last week have released

:10:37. > :10:38.e-fits of the two men they suspect were involved.

:10:39. > :10:40.The victim fought off the attackers who tried

:10:41. > :10:43.to bundle him into a vehicle, as he was jogging

:10:44. > :10:46.Police said both attackers were of "Middle Eastern appearance."

:10:47. > :10:49.Our correspondent Robert Hall reports.

:10:50. > :10:51.Were you in this area between 1pm and 4pm?

:10:52. > :10:55.It was an instant which lasted less than a minute, but which has led

:10:56. > :10:57.to another day of intense activity on the lanes of Norfolk.

:10:58. > :11:01.The focus has been on these faces, created from the memories

:11:02. > :11:06.of the young serviceman who ran for his life a week ago.

:11:07. > :11:09.Investigators believe someone from the RAF community may have seen

:11:10. > :11:14.the men as they prepared or fled from their attempted abduction.

:11:15. > :11:17.The serviceman had told police that he became aware of a dark

:11:18. > :11:21.vehicle, possibly a people carrier on the other side of the road.

:11:22. > :11:24.He said in a matter of seconds a man had jumped out of that vehicle,

:11:25. > :11:31.If he had not reacted as he did by head-butting that man

:11:32. > :11:34.and knocking him to the ground the outcome would have

:11:35. > :11:38.The landscape here illustrates the challenge of tracing that

:11:39. > :11:44.Empty farmland, quiet roads and little CCTV.

:11:45. > :11:54.Last week's incident has added to concerns over security

:11:55. > :11:58.Police say that the motive for this attempted abduction

:11:59. > :12:10.We said last week that there was no credible evidence of it

:12:11. > :12:12.being a terrorist-related incident but we couldn't discount it,

:12:13. > :12:16.But if it is not a terrorist related abduction, attempted abduction,

:12:17. > :12:21.I am looking at other possibilities, could this be a case of mistaken

:12:22. > :12:22.identity, could this be something entirely unconnected?

:12:23. > :12:25.Norfolk police are in close touch with anti-terrorism specialists

:12:26. > :12:27.but they believe key information will emerge locally.

:12:28. > :12:31.They have warned anyone spotting the suspects

:12:32. > :12:35.Robert Hall, BBC News, at RAF Marham.

:12:36. > :12:38.Now a look at some of the day's other news.

:12:39. > :12:40.The man who tried to assassinate the former US president

:12:41. > :12:43.Ronald Reagan is to be released from a psychiatric hospital

:12:44. > :12:47.John Hinckley Junior injured Mr Reagan and three others

:12:48. > :12:51.when he opened fire on them outside the Washington Hilton hotel in 1981.

:12:52. > :12:55.Hinckley was found not guilty on grounds of insanity.

:12:56. > :13:01.The judge said Hinckley no longer poses a danger.

:13:02. > :13:04.Prosecutors in the US city of Baltimore have dropped charges

:13:05. > :13:07.against three police officers still facing trial over the death

:13:08. > :13:09.last year of Freddie Gray - a black man who was critically

:13:10. > :13:14.Freddie Gray's death fuelled perceptions of police brutality

:13:15. > :13:16.towards African Americans and sparked the worst protests seen

:13:17. > :13:22.Former French Foreign Minister Michel Barnier has been appointed

:13:23. > :13:24.by the European Commission to negotiate with

:13:25. > :13:29.In a tweet, Mr Barnier said he was honoured to be

:13:30. > :13:32.The European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said he "wanted

:13:33. > :13:39.an experienced politician for this difficult job".

:13:40. > :13:42.In November, American voters are going to make a choice.

:13:43. > :13:44.Some are choosing between Republican and Democratic.

:13:45. > :13:46.Others are choosing between what they've described

:13:47. > :13:51.Hillary Clinton may have made history as the first woman to be

:13:52. > :13:53.the presidential nominee for a major party, but many Democrats backing

:13:54. > :13:56.Bernie Sanders have told us they think Clinton is part

:13:57. > :14:02.On the Republican side some have told us they want anyone but Trump.

:14:03. > :14:05.It's left a large share of American voters feeling disappointed,

:14:06. > :14:17.if not angry, at the options for their next leader.

:14:18. > :14:19.I'm probably going to vote for Hillary,

:14:20. > :14:20.but I'd rather not have to

:14:21. > :14:24.because I want more optionsthat are actually more representative

:14:25. > :14:26.of what people want and not a lesser than

:14:27. > :14:34.If the best that we can do for people that are

:14:35. > :14:36.going to represent usis Donald J Trump

:14:37. > :14:38.and Hillary Rodham Clinton, I

:14:39. > :14:42.Maybe being involved within the Washington world

:14:43. > :14:45.for so long I think that can kind of have a bit of a

:14:46. > :14:49.dehumanising effect after a while in that it doesn't

:14:50. > :14:54.seem like she really has the ability or feels like she

:14:55. > :14:56.has the ability to think for herself as a person

:14:57. > :15:04.and so I think that when

:15:05. > :15:06.she's trying to cater to what can and cannot be

:15:07. > :15:07.done that there isn't going

:15:08. > :15:10.to be any of the real change that we need

:15:11. > :15:16.I guess she's really the only person to vote

:15:17. > :15:20.I mean, once the Republican Party chose Trump, I mean who else

:15:21. > :15:25.I mean, as a woman, it's definitely a step

:15:26. > :15:30.I truly believe it's anything but Trump, but

:15:31. > :15:41.I think Hillary Clinton is a better choice, for sure.

:15:42. > :16:00.The Democrats convention in Philadelphia is about to

:16:01. > :16:03.I'm joined now by Michael Scherer, the Washington

:16:04. > :16:15.I hope you can hear me. I hear it is quite noisy there. I just wanted to

:16:16. > :16:19.ask you how much of a problem for Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are

:16:20. > :16:24.these people who do not see anything they particularly want to vote for

:16:25. > :16:29.in either of these candidates? It could be a big problem but polls

:16:30. > :16:33.show that about 90% of Bernie Sanders voters in the primary

:16:34. > :16:36.support Hillary. What is different about this primary is that the real

:16:37. > :16:41.die-hard activists, the people who work all year to get Bernie Sanders

:16:42. > :16:45.elected, our year and it is not even representatives. That said, if this

:16:46. > :16:48.sort of anger at Hillary Clinton continues, it will be really

:16:49. > :16:51.problematic, not just the people who voted for Bernie Sanders, but for

:16:52. > :16:59.young people and minority people who Hillary has to find a way to

:17:00. > :17:02.motivate and she has not been able to so far. How unified or otherwise

:17:03. > :17:05.would you say the Democratic party is right now? We heard jeers at the

:17:06. > :17:10.name of Hillary Clinton in this convention. That is right. Both

:17:11. > :17:15.parties are not very unified. But been surprised by how un-unified the

:17:16. > :17:19.Democratic party is. It is too soon to know what consequences that will

:17:20. > :17:22.have. If you're watching the Republicans in Cleveland, you would

:17:23. > :17:27.see a similar disunity so it is bubbly going to hurt both candidates

:17:28. > :17:30.and we have a long way to go before we know who will turn up at the

:17:31. > :17:33.polls. But what this will come down to is turnout. It is about

:17:34. > :17:36.motivating people who are not your regular voters and a lot of young

:17:37. > :17:38.people are listening to their friends and they are saying that

:17:39. > :17:44.Hillary is just part of some giant machine of corruption, even if they

:17:45. > :17:48.are progressives, that will be a big problem for her. I want to ask you

:17:49. > :17:53.about a story that is beginning to really get some traction now. This

:17:54. > :17:56.row breaking out Clinton's campaign spokesman saying it is the first

:17:57. > :17:59.time a major presidential candidate had encouraged a foreign power to

:18:00. > :18:02.conduct espionage against a political opponent. I am talking

:18:03. > :18:08.about Donald Trump and what he has apparently said about Russia. Yeah.

:18:09. > :18:12.It was a remarkable press conference this morning. I think it is not as

:18:13. > :18:15.the Clinton campaign. I think a lot of Republicans and political

:18:16. > :18:19.observers are sort of still getting their bearings after he said it.

:18:20. > :18:23.What he said was that he has nothing to do with the hack of the

:18:24. > :18:26.Democratic National committee and does not know if Russia was behind

:18:27. > :18:29.it but then he added that if Russian hackers could find the 30,000

:18:30. > :18:33.e-mails that Hillary Clinton says she deleted because they were

:18:34. > :18:37.personal correspondence not work correspondence, they should put them

:18:38. > :18:43.out quick. It was essentially the Republican nominee for president

:18:44. > :18:47.asking for a crime to be committed by a foreign power against the US.

:18:48. > :18:51.It was quite a remarkable statement. And reduce the damaging? You know,

:18:52. > :18:58.Donald Trump has been making remarkable statements for six months

:18:59. > :19:02.now. -- who do you see a damaging? And in a lot of cases this has not

:19:03. > :19:06.damaged him. I do not know if it will change the race dramatically. I

:19:07. > :19:10.think it will remind people who are not yet on board list on why they

:19:11. > :19:12.have concerns and it will play into Hillary Clinton's message on trumpet

:19:13. > :19:15.which is that he is just not prepared for the job. At the same

:19:16. > :19:19.time, I think that Trump has shown that there is an anger, a

:19:20. > :19:22.frustration, a fury with the way the rules and politics are set up in

:19:23. > :19:26.this country and that breaking them helps him. It motivates his

:19:27. > :19:29.supporters and then again he may be able to pull other people into the

:19:30. > :19:32.process by speaking like this that he has not been able to before. The

:19:33. > :19:35.other thing to mention is that Trump often says the things we're sort of

:19:36. > :19:39.a glint in his height, almost as if he's kidding when he says that. It

:19:40. > :19:42.is interesting because with the whole campaign he has gotten away

:19:43. > :19:45.with a lot of things that other candidates would never be able to

:19:46. > :19:55.get away with. He said a day after the Republican convention to the

:19:56. > :19:58.National Enquirer that John McCain, the former Republican nominee, is

:19:59. > :20:01.not the kind of war hero he likes because he got captured. These are

:20:02. > :20:05.things that just would not be acceptable in any other year but

:20:06. > :20:09.this is not any other year. It certainly isn't. Only a day after

:20:10. > :20:12.history was made, we have the first female President candidate, it is

:20:13. > :20:19.not even really top of the agenda. Where are we? What is going on? You

:20:20. > :20:22.was asked about Hillary been the first female nominee in his press

:20:23. > :20:27.conference today and we will hear a lot more about that tonight with

:20:28. > :20:31.President Obama and Joe Biden and her vice presidential pick Tim Kane

:20:32. > :20:33.speeding so I do not think that will go away but it is certainly a

:20:34. > :20:43.strange time. Thank you. As we mentioned there Barack Obama,

:20:44. > :20:45.Vice President Joe Biden and Clinton's running mate Tim Kaine

:20:46. > :20:48.will speak in the coming hours. As always we will have live

:20:49. > :20:50.updates and analysis There will also be plenty of content

:20:51. > :21:00.on our smart phone app. The Russian Olympic Committee chief,

:21:01. > :21:04.Alexander Zhukov, says international federations have approved more

:21:05. > :21:06.than 250 Russian competitors to take This comes after a report

:21:07. > :21:12.into state sponsored doping. 108 Russians have been banned so far

:21:13. > :21:15.- including all but one The Russian President Vladimir Putin

:21:16. > :21:20.has once again criticised the decision to barr

:21:21. > :21:21.some competitors, saying medals won at Rio 2016

:21:22. > :21:24.will be devalued and that the Games He made the comments at an event

:21:25. > :21:28.with Russian athletes, Here's some of what President Putin

:21:29. > :21:41.had to say. TRANSLATION: I think that your

:21:42. > :21:44.colleagues would understand that the quality of their medals will be

:21:45. > :21:47.different now because it is one thing to win against strong, equal

:21:48. > :21:51.competitors and it is a different thing when you compete with someone

:21:52. > :21:52.so obviously lower in class. Such a victory has a completely different

:21:53. > :21:57.taste, if any. Meanwhile, the man in charge

:21:58. > :22:00.of security at the Rio Olympics has told the BBC the threat

:22:01. > :22:02.of a terrorist attack An extra 80,000 security personnel

:22:03. > :22:06.have been brought in to patrol the streets of Rio de Janeiro

:22:07. > :22:08.and the Olympic venues. As our Brazil Correspondent,

:22:09. > :22:10.Wyre Davies reports, there's concern the country

:22:11. > :22:16.is a soft target for criminals. Rio has a reputation

:22:17. > :22:18.as one of the world's Within sight of the beaches where

:22:19. > :22:22.Olympic volleyball and triathlon events will take place, armed police

:22:23. > :22:30.patrol narrow alleyways which by night revert to the control

:22:31. > :22:33.of violent drugs gangs. They let off fireworks to let us

:22:34. > :22:36.know they're watching. After a quiet couple of years,

:22:37. > :22:38.violence has returned to many Rio is a much safer

:22:39. > :22:43.place today than it was 20 years ago, but even in the last

:22:44. > :22:46.year or so, in these pacified favelas, the drugs gangs

:22:47. > :22:50.have moved back in. There have been more

:22:51. > :22:52.murders and more attacks. And with the Olympic games taking

:22:53. > :22:54.place down in the tourist areas

:22:55. > :22:56.on Copacabana beach, there is a real concern

:22:57. > :22:59.that some of this violence could spill

:23:00. > :23:02.over during the games themselves. In this Olympic city,

:23:03. > :23:03.shocking numbers of innocent victims are killed

:23:04. > :23:09.in crossfire, often by police. Children are taught to dive

:23:10. > :23:11.for cover at the And petty crime invades

:23:12. > :23:23.the tourist beaches below. Police officers warned

:23:24. > :23:26.they might not be able to guarantee Welcome to hell,

:23:27. > :23:29.their stark message to visitors at Rio's

:23:30. > :23:33.International Airport. We police officers are hiding our

:23:34. > :23:38.badges, our wallets, our guns because they

:23:39. > :23:44.are being hunted. But city and state officials say

:23:45. > :23:47.that with an extra 80,000 security personnel on the streets,

:23:48. > :23:52.Rio will be safe during the games. But says Rio's security chief,

:23:53. > :23:56.there is one overriding concern. TRANSLATION: For me,

:23:57. > :24:00.the biggest threat is terrorism. Brazil is not an obvious

:24:01. > :24:05.target, but we have a weakness and it is

:24:06. > :24:07.our immense borders. The BBC recently saw evidence

:24:08. > :24:15.showing just how easy it More than 70 Syrian nationals were

:24:16. > :24:22.able to acquire genuine Brazilian passports from crime gangs

:24:23. > :24:28.and corrupt officials. Training exercises are designed

:24:29. > :24:29.to ease concerns, but with 10,000 miles

:24:30. > :24:34.of often porous land borders, Brazil would be a soft target for anyone

:24:35. > :24:40.seeking to disrupt the games. Rio de Janeiro is still

:24:41. > :24:42.one of the world's most beguiling cities

:24:43. > :24:43.and will provide a stunning backdrop

:24:44. > :24:45.for the Olympics, but it has

:24:46. > :24:56.an ominously dark side too. Stunning aerial video has

:24:57. > :24:58.been released showing what is believed to be the world's

:24:59. > :25:01.deepest underwater sinkhole. Researchers in China studying

:25:02. > :25:03.the so-called Blue Hole - in the South China Sea -

:25:04. > :25:06.believe that it's 300 metres deep. The team says it looked at things

:25:07. > :25:09.like tidal water levels and temperature to

:25:10. > :25:12.work out the depth. Until now, the deepest known

:25:13. > :25:16.Blue Hole was Dean's Blue Hole, which is two hundred

:25:17. > :25:19.and two metres deep, We end on an object lesson on how

:25:20. > :25:25.not to invest your money. A man from Georgia in

:25:26. > :25:28.the United States who won three million dollars in a lottery

:25:29. > :25:30.has pleaded guilty to using the money to invest

:25:31. > :25:33.in a crystal meth ring. 45-year-old Ronnie Music Junior

:25:34. > :25:37.used his windfall to buy the drugs, then supply them

:25:38. > :25:39.to others who could The local Attorney described it

:25:40. > :25:45.as an "unsound investment strategy". Mr Music is expected to serve years

:25:46. > :25:49.in a federal prison. If you want to get in touch with us

:25:50. > :25:52.here at BBC World News, But for now from me and the rest

:25:53. > :26:11.of the team, goodbye. Hello there. If your gardens didn't

:26:12. > :26:13.get enough rain today, you could be in luck tomorrow, when the next
