:01:04. > :01:06.The funeral has taken place of the French priest

:01:07. > :01:08.killed in his church by Islamist extremists.

:01:09. > :01:11.Father Jacques Hamel, who was aged 85, was killed by two

:01:12. > :01:16.French teenagers as he led a service in Rouen in Normandy.

:01:17. > :01:18.The attackers pledged allegiance to the group known as Islamic State.

:01:19. > :01:20.The attack was described by the French prime

:01:21. > :01:24.Our correspondent James Reynolds reports from Rouen

:01:25. > :01:32.The city of Rouen came to its gothic Cathedral to bury

:01:33. > :01:41.The body of 85-year-old Father Jacques Hamel was borne inside.

:01:42. > :01:46."No-one deserves to die like he did", said Nicol Poplan,

:01:47. > :01:51."we knew the Father so well, it hurts us so very badly."

:01:52. > :01:54.More than 1,500 mourners heard tributes paid

:01:55. > :02:03."I love you, uncle", said his niece, Jessica.

:02:04. > :02:09.The Archbishop spoke directly to the assailants

:02:10. > :02:18.TRANSLATION: You who are tormented by diabolical violence, pray that

:02:19. > :02:20.God frees you from the clutches of the demon.

:02:21. > :02:28.The mourners here at the Cathedral will have many questions.

:02:29. > :02:32.Could the French authorities have done more to stop the two attackers

:02:33. > :02:35.from getting to the priest in his church?

:02:36. > :02:37.And, more broadly, what can this country do

:02:38. > :02:47.For some here, the answer is obvious.

:02:48. > :02:49.TRANSLATION: The government must check the prisons, it

:02:50. > :02:57.It must not allow people who try to go and fight

:02:58. > :03:04.Decades ago, Jacques Hamel also left his own country to go to war.

:03:05. > :03:07.He did his military service in Algeria, where the family of one

:03:08. > :03:14.Kareem Beniash's family is also from Algeria,

:03:15. > :03:16.he came here to share the city's grief.

:03:17. > :03:19.We Muslims of France, we have to be with our French

:03:20. > :03:24.We have to be with them and with Christians,

:03:25. > :03:26.especially Christians, because they believe in the same

:03:27. > :03:36.France is a secular state, but this afternoon the old rituals

:03:37. > :03:40.of the Catholic Church had their place.

:03:41. > :03:43.In the 15th Century in Rouen, Joan of Arc was burnt at the stake.

:03:44. > :03:46.This city knows how to grieve for those who died for their faith.

:03:47. > :04:09.In a few minutes I will be speaking to a bikini -- an expert in teenage

:04:10. > :04:12.radicalisation. In Syria, it's been another day

:04:13. > :04:15.of violence in the northern city of Aleppo as rebel fighters have

:04:16. > :04:18.continued their offensive to try and break the siege imposed

:04:19. > :04:20.by government forces. In Idlib province, there have been

:04:21. > :04:29.reports of a gas attack that has Idlib is a Syrian province close to

:04:30. > :04:33.the order of Turkey and it has seen increasing attacks in the past few

:04:34. > :04:38.days. These are people being treated at a local hospital after inhaling

:04:39. > :04:44.toxic smoke. The video is filmed by medical staff where they say

:04:45. > :04:49.poisonous gas was dropped by an aircraft late Monday night. Dozens

:04:50. > :04:53.were treated and later discharged. The town is 20 kilometres east of

:04:54. > :04:57.the area where a Russian military helicopter went down a day earlier.

:04:58. > :05:02.No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. In

:05:03. > :05:06.Aleppo it has been another day of violence. These are streets of the

:05:07. > :05:12.eastern part of the city held by rebel groups. It has been under

:05:13. > :05:15.siege by government led forces. Rebel fighters launched a major

:05:16. > :05:20.offensive on Sunday night to break the siege and the battle has

:05:21. > :05:25.continued. Rebel groups say they are making quick progress. The Syrian

:05:26. > :05:32.monetary has released this video and says its forces have been fighting

:05:33. > :05:35.back. The Government has denied rebel claims that Kerry is

:05:43. > :05:47.This town is held by so-called Islamic State but a major operation

:05:48. > :05:52.has been underway by a US backed coalition to take control of it from

:05:53. > :05:57.IS. Kurdish fighters are leading the battle and they now claim to have

:05:58. > :06:02.taken over large parts of the town. For Islamic State the town is an

:06:03. > :06:04.important link leading proud of its stronghold rack. And losing it would

:06:05. > :06:08.be a big blow. Prep is a drug that has been

:06:09. > :06:11.labelled a "game-changer" Preexposure prophylaxis is what it

:06:12. > :06:16.actually stands for. But who should be responsible

:06:17. > :06:19.for paying for it? Here in the UK, the High Court has

:06:20. > :06:22.just ruled that the National Health Previously, they said it should be

:06:23. > :06:27.funded by local authorities. Let's look at why campaigners say

:06:28. > :06:30.access to Prep is such Prep has been shown

:06:31. > :06:35.to reduce the risk of HIV A handful of countries use it,

:06:36. > :06:40.including the US and France, to help protect the most

:06:41. > :06:49.at-risk gay men. The once-a-day pill

:06:50. > :06:50.can cost up to ?400- or around 500 US dollars -

:06:51. > :06:53.a month per person and works by disabling the virus

:06:54. > :07:09.and preventing it from multiplying. His life was put on hold when he was

:07:10. > :07:14.diagnosed HIV positive. He thought he had been chosen for a trial of

:07:15. > :07:18.the drug now known to prevent infection but he missed out. Years

:07:19. > :07:22.back now to his training as a circus performer and says the argument in

:07:23. > :07:29.favour of the drug known as Prep is clear. That is one of the things, it

:07:30. > :07:33.stops the transmission of the fact but also the psychological effects

:07:34. > :07:39.of being diagnosed with HIV which destroys peoples lives. Trials have

:07:40. > :07:44.shown is Prep to be highly effective for those most at risk from HIV. The

:07:45. > :07:47.NHS argument was that the England local authorities are responsible

:07:48. > :07:53.for sexual health and prevention survey should pay for it. That was

:07:54. > :07:56.rejected by a High Court judge. If you ignore AIDS it could be the

:07:57. > :08:00.death of use of both die of ignorance. AIDS is no longer on the

:08:01. > :08:07.threat it was at the time of this advert in the 1990s. Thanks to new

:08:08. > :08:11.drugs, HIV patients are much less likely to develop AIDS but

:08:12. > :08:15.campaigners say reducing the HIV infection rate is a priority and the

:08:16. > :08:20.ruling is significant. We are delighted. It is such an important

:08:21. > :08:26.decision which could have a great impact for people at risk of HIV.

:08:27. > :08:31.Why do you say the NHS should pay to protect people when they look after

:08:32. > :08:35.themselves by having protected sex? The majority of gay men to protect

:08:36. > :08:40.themselves by using a condom is and we know from studies that it condom

:08:41. > :08:45.use is much higher than with the general population. As with the

:08:46. > :08:48.general population, a lot of people are not successfully able to use

:08:49. > :08:53.them every single time. NHS England says it will appeal against the High

:08:54. > :09:00.Court ruling and even if it fails they are no -- under no obligation

:09:01. > :09:07.to fund the drug or consider the effectiveness alongside other health

:09:08. > :09:11.conditions. Prep will be seen and considered alongside 13 other

:09:12. > :09:18.treatments including children with cystic fibrosis, prosthetic limbs

:09:19. > :09:21.and certain types of implants. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

:09:22. > :09:27.are facing the same dilemma as they try to come to a decision on Prep.

:09:28. > :09:32.As far as Siddique is concerned, the new drug deserves a fair hearing. I

:09:33. > :09:36.missed a chance and that is why an advocate for Prep. Other people in

:09:37. > :09:42.my position on the right knowledge that can be provided. Themselves

:09:43. > :09:47.from contracting HIV. Even though I am fit, it is still hitting me every

:09:48. > :09:51.time I think about it. For more I'm joined by Yusef Azad

:09:52. > :09:54.from the National Aids Trust, who led the legal challenge

:09:55. > :09:56.against the National Health Service. Why is Prep so important,

:09:57. > :10:06.given the range of other precautions Why should the National Health

:10:07. > :10:11.Service pay for a drug when people can take action and practice safe

:10:12. > :10:16.sex themselves and protect themselves? Prevention is always

:10:17. > :10:22.cheaper and better than treatment. Spending money on Prep is cheaper

:10:23. > :10:27.than spending money on a lifetime of treatment for someone who could have

:10:28. > :10:30.not got HIV if they were on Prep. It is still more expensive than

:10:31. > :10:36.spending money on someone who has protected themselves through taking

:10:37. > :10:41.responsibilities. Asking for Prep is responsible and we need to push back

:10:42. > :10:44.on the idea that they are possibly being irresponsible. They want to

:10:45. > :10:49.protect themselves and their sexual partners from the risk of HIV coming

:10:50. > :10:56.to your important point, condom is, apart from anything else, Prep

:10:57. > :11:02.doesn't protect from other sexually transmitted infections. No one is

:11:03. > :11:09.proposing that Prep replaces condom use. Studies in the real world, Prep

:11:10. > :11:13.doesn't replace condom use. We have been promoting condom use for 30

:11:14. > :11:17.years. If we were able to get 100% of people to use them all the time

:11:18. > :11:23.we would have done it by now. Even with all the proportion -- promotion

:11:24. > :11:29.we do now, daybreak and people are not in the Right Reverend find at

:11:30. > :11:34.the right time. In some ways they are not always wearing it. We need

:11:35. > :11:38.to add to condom use with a further prevention option which will do

:11:39. > :11:43.something to reduce the still high rate of HIV transmission in this

:11:44. > :11:47.country. The message that you mentioned, 30 years of campaigning

:11:48. > :11:50.for condom use, it hasn't worked 100%, but don't you feel the

:11:51. > :11:56.availability for something like Prep could undermine the message even

:11:57. > :12:01.further? No, because we would be advocating, as would the NHS, if it

:12:02. > :12:05.is provided through them, a combination of prevention options.

:12:06. > :12:09.The study that has taken place, people did not migrate from condoms

:12:10. > :12:16.when they started ticking Prep. They used both. There was no different in

:12:17. > :12:20.STI rates between those on Prep and not on Prep. They will go every

:12:21. > :12:25.three months to pick up the drugs and have a full checkup and also be

:12:26. > :12:29.offered condom is talk through issues they would have over safer

:12:30. > :12:34.sex. This is about belt and braces and about strengthening further our

:12:35. > :12:39.response to sexual health risk. It isn't encouraging people to move

:12:40. > :12:43.from one option to another. NHS England has said it will appeal

:12:44. > :12:50.this. Where do you see this going next? We are disappointed, because I

:12:51. > :12:54.have never read a judgment which soak come principally comes out in

:12:55. > :12:58.favour of every point that we made, that process will go on. We are

:12:59. > :13:05.disappointed because it could delay things even further. It is kicking

:13:06. > :13:10.he can down the road while everyday, eight gay men acquire HIV, many of

:13:11. > :13:14.them could benefit from Prep. NHS England have said they will now

:13:15. > :13:19.restart the decision-making process that they to everyone's astonishment

:13:20. > :13:25.abandoned in March, so they will be ready with a view on Prep, depending

:13:26. > :13:30.on the outcome of the appeal. But our message to NHS England is, you

:13:31. > :13:34.say you prioritise prevention, this is a fabulous prevention option. It

:13:35. > :13:37.is a much cheaper than lifelong treatment. Provided as soon as

:13:38. > :13:40.possible. Thank you very much. Now a look at some of

:13:41. > :13:45.the day's other news. The president of the International

:13:46. > :13:47.Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, has called for a complete overhaul

:13:48. > :13:50.of sport's anti-doping system. At a meeting of the IOC in Rio ahead

:13:51. > :13:53.of the opening of the Olympics on Friday, Mr Bach said he wanted

:13:54. > :13:56.a more robust, efficient system The newly elected governor of Tokyo

:13:57. > :14:00.has promised a formal review of the city's preparations

:14:01. > :14:03.for the 2020 Olympic Games. In her second day in office,

:14:04. > :14:06.Yuriko Koike said an independent panel would assess whether tax money

:14:07. > :14:13.had been used appropriately. The Tokyo Games have been plagued

:14:14. > :14:16.with setbacks over the cost and The Rio Olympics opens on Friday,

:14:17. > :14:27.and one of the likely stars could be The 24-year-old will

:14:28. > :14:30.compete in the 100 and 200 Which brings to mind another Dutch

:14:31. > :14:35.woman who changed the way the world For our Greats of the Games series,

:14:36. > :14:40.David Eades looks back at the 1948 Olympics when Fanny Blankers Koen,

:14:41. > :14:42.a 30-year-old mother-of-two, demolished records,

:14:43. > :14:53.rivals and prejudices. Postwar Wembley and the unveiling

:14:54. > :15:02.of the role of honour after the first Olympics

:15:03. > :15:09.since the Berlin games in 1936. The 14th Olympiad took place

:15:10. > :15:11.in London, the first It was a huge relief

:15:12. > :15:21.that it happened at all. It was also the first time that

:15:22. > :15:24.a female athlete emerged as arguably In the 100 metre dash,

:15:25. > :15:37.everyone else seems to be standing still as The Flying Dutchwoman turns

:15:38. > :15:39.on the power. In the late 40s, her dominance

:15:40. > :15:49.was as complete as any athlete. In London, it translated into gold

:15:50. > :15:52.medals in the 100 metres, Women doing sport at all

:15:53. > :16:02.was kind of frowned on, let alone a 30-year-old

:16:03. > :16:05.with two small children. She was kind of beyond her time

:16:06. > :16:13.in the 30s and 40s. She may have won the high jump

:16:14. > :16:21.and long jump, but was only allowed to compete in three

:16:22. > :16:26.individual events. Make no mistake, her nickname

:16:27. > :16:30.of the Flying Housewife hinted She was single-minded

:16:31. > :16:36.and determined, nothing interested It seems like she was not just one

:16:37. > :16:42.hell of an athlete but also No hiding the esteem

:16:43. > :16:49.in which she was held But for that war, she might have

:16:50. > :16:58.competed in five Olympics. In 1948, her place in Olympic

:16:59. > :17:17.history was sealed. Let's go back to our top story, the

:17:18. > :17:21.funeral in France of the Catholic priest killed in an Islamist attack

:17:22. > :17:26.last week. I have been speaking to Farhad Khosrokhavar via webcam from

:17:27. > :17:29.Paris. He is and Iranians born sociologist and author specialising

:17:30. > :17:35.in teenage radicalisation. I asked him how the issue of radicalisation

:17:36. > :17:38.may change France in the future. My guess is that European society has

:17:39. > :17:45.to get used to it, other they will have lots of anger, anxiety, anguish

:17:46. > :17:54.and so on. This phenomenon will last at least another decade. The next

:17:55. > :18:02.ten years to come, Europe will be the theatre of this sort of

:18:03. > :18:07.terrorist attack by Daesh, the self-proclaimed Islamic State in

:18:08. > :18:15.Syria in Syria and Iraq. One way is to accept the risks and to behave

:18:16. > :18:21.not in an anguished way. Is it always right, the sense that whoever

:18:22. > :18:24.carries out this attack or kind of attack, feels isolated and

:18:25. > :18:28.segregated to some extent, because even last week one of the teenagers

:18:29. > :18:31.who carry out the attack on the priest was a very integrated part of

:18:32. > :18:39.the community from a very normal family. Yes, you are right. There is

:18:40. > :18:46.a kind of copycat effect. There are lots of people who have mental

:18:47. > :18:49.problems, psychological problems, who get involved in this sort of

:18:50. > :18:57.thing. The problem is the more you make noise about that, the more you

:18:58. > :19:01.show some sort of anger, the more they are encouraged to act, those

:19:02. > :19:08.people who are mentally disturbed. That is one of the major problems.

:19:09. > :19:14.They should be treated as being vulgar, non-existent people rather

:19:15. > :19:19.than negative heroes, that means that by giving them the sort of

:19:20. > :19:24.importance through the media and so on, you treat them as being super

:19:25. > :19:27.heroes. You have written extensively about the problems with

:19:28. > :19:33.radicalisation in prison, give us a sense of how big a problem that is.

:19:34. > :19:37.The problem of radicalisation in prison is very complex. You cannot

:19:38. > :19:42.do it in three minutes. There is one side of it which is based on the

:19:43. > :19:49.fact that imprisons you have most half of the inmates who are Muslims.

:19:50. > :19:57.But necessarily practising, but they feel humiliated. -- not necessarily.

:19:58. > :20:00.At the same time, there are short-term prisons in which you have

:20:01. > :20:07.huge numbers of young people in small cells and sometimes two or

:20:08. > :20:13.three in a nine square metres sell without any kind of facility so that

:20:14. > :20:17.they feel they are humiliated and they developed this sort of hatred

:20:18. > :20:27.towards society. And they build some kind of type with the others, self

:20:28. > :20:33.proclaiming, and in French prisons it is another contributing factor to

:20:34. > :20:34.worst this situation. Farhad Khosrokhavar, a sociologist there in

:20:35. > :20:35.Paris. President Obama has weighed

:20:36. > :20:38.in on the row between Donald Trump and the parents of a Muslim soldier

:20:39. > :20:50.who died serving He said this shows the extent to

:20:51. > :20:53.which Mr Trump is unfit to serve as president. He also criticised

:20:54. > :20:56.republican leaders for continuing south to support him despite having

:20:57. > :21:03.to distance themselves from his remarks. I think you republican

:21:04. > :21:09.nominee is unfit to serve as president. I said so last week. He

:21:10. > :21:21.keeps on proving it. I think what has been interesting is the repeated

:21:22. > :21:29.enunciation is of his statements -- Annunciation is, by leading

:21:30. > :21:33.republicans including the Speaker of the house and the Senate Majority

:21:34. > :21:39.Leader and prominent republicans like John McCain. The question I

:21:40. > :21:48.think that they have to ask themselves is, if you are repeatedly

:21:49. > :21:53.having to say, in very strong terms, that what he has said is

:21:54. > :22:01.unacceptable, why are you still endorsing him? Donald Trump has

:22:02. > :22:05.released a statement saying Hillary Clinton is unfit for government.

:22:06. > :22:08.Earlier he also compared his Democratic rival to the devil during

:22:09. > :22:13.a campaign speech in Pennsylvania. He made the remark while criticising

:22:14. > :22:15.her former party rival Bernie Sanders for backing Hillary Clinton

:22:16. > :22:22.during the recent Democratic National Convention. Then when they

:22:23. > :22:27.showed Bernie very angry, he made a bad deal. He should have not made

:22:28. > :22:30.that deal. He would have gone down as doing something really important.

:22:31. > :22:35.Once he made that deal, and believe me he has buyers remorse, this guy

:22:36. > :22:39.has buyers remorse. He looked at that and he was so angry when they

:22:40. > :22:43.were talking about him and his people were angry and they should

:22:44. > :22:47.be. If he had just not done anything, go home, go to sleep,

:22:48. > :22:53.relax, he would have been a hero but he made a deal with the devil. She

:22:54. > :22:59.is the devil. And it is only just the beginning.

:23:00. > :23:03.Beautiful beaches, an abundance of wildlife, extraordinary scenery

:23:04. > :23:05.and a school where the class has just a handful of pupils.

:23:06. > :23:08.But the tiny Scottish island of Muck is having trouble

:23:09. > :23:10.recruiting a teacher for the start of the new term.

:23:11. > :23:12.Parents have launched their own, online, search for someone

:23:13. > :23:15.with a love of the outdoors who can cope with the unique
