This is BBC World News Today, broadcasting in the UK | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Canada abandons efforts to secure a massive free trade deal | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
It says the EU is "not capable" of signing such a deal, | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
after it was blocked by a region of Belgium with a population | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Remembering the victims of one of the worst disasters in British | :00:24. | :00:38. | |
modern history. It is 50 years since a village in Wales was engulfed by | :00:39. | :00:48. | |
coal waste, killing over a hundred children. | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
In Iraq - Islamic state suicide bombers launch | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
a surprise attack on Kirkuk - the city is now under curfew. | :00:59. | :01:13. | |
And Wonder woman's new turn - she is to become a UN Ambasssador | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
for women and girls - but not everyone is happy. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
It's taken seven years, but now a trade deal between Canada | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
and the European Union appears to be on the verge of collapse. | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
The deal is called CETA, but it's run into trouble | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
To be specific, it is in fact because | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
of a region in Belgium called Wallonia. | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
It's important to say that Belgium is the only country out | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
of the EU block of 28 opposed to the deal | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Well, the region of 3.6 million people says the deal threatens | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
They fear increased competition from North American multi-nationals | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
Here's our business correspondent Samira Hussain with more. | :01:46. | :02:01. | |
They were in negotiations for seven years and this | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
This was really, you know, what they would say - | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
they were just putting the bow on the finishing touches. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Canada's prime minister Justin Trudeau is due to go | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
to Brussels next week to sign the deal, so it seems | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
it was almost there, and now it seems that it is not, | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
but it is also significant for other possible trade deals. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
The United States is negotiating, or is looking to negotiate, a trade | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
If this trade deal with Canada ends up falling apart, it also puts | :02:24. | :02:35. | |
a potential trade deal between the United States | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
and the European Union in jeopardy, and it comes at a very interesting | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
And the trade rhetoric has grown quite significantly, | :02:41. | :02:53. | |
especially in this heated US presidential campaign. | :02:54. | :02:54. | |
There is a lot of talk of trade deals and the kind of negative | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
impact it has had on some parts of the United States, | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
so to be negotiating a new trade deal in this kind of era | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
In the last hour Christophe Bondy, a former Canadian trade | :03:05. | :03:18. | |
negotiator on the CETA deal, spoke to the BBC's Tanya Beckett. | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
He said the deal was blocked in the 11th hour. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
We were getting close to a signing ceremony that was to take place | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
on the 27th and here we found out one of the subnational | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
governments in Belgium is able to hold up the entire deal, | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
so the ball is really in Europe's court right now | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
Do you see this as a failing of Europe? | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
I think it shows the complexities of dealing with... | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
Trying to proceed with a trade agreement with Europe, | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
given the multiplicity of political issues that can be going on that may | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
My understanding is this has more to do with internal Belgian politics | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
than it has to do with this international trade deal. | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
That may be the case but it is true that in the West we also are seeing | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
a general reluctance to believe in trade deals and their ability | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
Certainly the context is challenging for anyone pursuing | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
international trade negotiations, and I think that is why Canada has | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
tried to approach these negotiations and its entire trade policy to blend | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
both trade and the social aspects, so this is a bit | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
This deal is one of the most progressive trade deals that has | :04:15. | :04:24. | |
It has protection for the environment built in, | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
protection for labour, for small and medium enterprises. | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
So it is really a gold standard agreement, and if that | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
agreement can't make it through in the European | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
Meanwhile the other major topic of discussion at this summit | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
in Brussels was Britain's departure from the EU. | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
Theresa May said she is optimistic she can get a deal | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
Well, my colleague Ros Atkins is in Brussels. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
He explains just how much people are talking about Brexit. | :04:45. | :05:08. | |
We knew this wasn't on the agenda formerly. | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
Theresa May was due to give a briefing to the other 27 leaders. | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
She did that, it lasted five minutes, and I interviewed a number | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
They all said it was as they expected - | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
she confirmed that Britain intends to exit the European Union and it | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
intends to trigger Article 50 by the end of March, | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
but really this was never about policy detail. | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
It was about tone and about developing relationships. | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
This was the UK Prime Minister Theresa May's first EU summit, | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
and it was invaluable time that she had got meeting the other | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
27 leaders and starting to develop those relationships which will be | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
crucial when the Brexit negotiations carry on. | :05:39. | :05:47. | |
Speaking to those leaders who met her for dinner last night, | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
the all emphasise how they want a good working relationship, | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
they want the process of Brexit to be as smooth as possible | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
and to serve the interests of the EU and UK, so it's so far, | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
But of course they will be put under huge pressure once | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
It was one of the worst disasters in modern British history. | :06:03. | :06:12. | |
This morning a minute's silence was held in the village | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
of Aberfan at 9.15 - the exact moment 50 years ago | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
when 116 children and 28 adults were killed. | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
They died when an avalanche of coal waste - 150,000 tonnes of it - | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
slid down the hillside and engulfed the village primary school | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
Around half the children at the school were killed. | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
Sian Lloyd has spent the day in Aberfan and sent us this report. | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
Early morning in Aberfan, and a community coming together | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
to remember the disaster 50 years ago. | :06:35. | :06:35. | |
The site of Pantglas School is now a memorial garden. | :06:36. | :06:44. | |
At 9:15, the moment classrooms were engulfed, silence fell. | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
And at the cemetery, high on the hillside. | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
This was a time to remember the 144 people who died in a man-made | :06:49. | :07:18. | |
disaster, when liquefied coal waste slid down the mountainside. | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
Eight-year-old Gerald Kirwan was in the second year juniors. | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
He was one of the lucky ones, but his memories | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
I could hear like, a rumbling, like a thunder. | :07:26. | :07:37. | |
A hell of a noise, didn't know what it was | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
and we looked up to the window and we see, like, | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
I'd been pushed across the classroom to the back wall, | :07:48. | :08:07. | |
We were just waiting, wondering what had happened | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
to cause the devastation we were trapped in. | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
Where classrooms once stood, today the Prince of Wales planted a tree, | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
No-one should have to bear the losses you suffered, but | :08:16. | :08:39. | |
no-one could have borne those losses with greater strength | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
A balloon for each of the victims and a moment for Gerald Kirwan to | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
share with his granddaughter, after keeping his emotions bottled up | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
We never, ever spoke about it, to my mother and father, | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
Even the children, there were only a few of us | :08:52. | :09:04. | |
But it had been a disaster that was waiting to happen. | :09:05. | :09:27. | |
Coal waste had been dumped in huge tips on top of streams and | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
Local people were joined by miners in the search for survivors. | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
But as the hours passed, rescuers realised that | :09:36. | :09:36. | |
the children they were now finding had all died. | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
Many were looking for their own own sons and daughters. | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
David Goldsworthy lost his ten-year-old | :09:45. | :09:45. | |
This is the first time he has returned to Aberfan | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
on the anniversary itself from Canada, where he emigrated | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
He would have been 60 this year, in August. | :09:55. | :10:11. | |
No-one was ever prosecuted for the lives that were lost, | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
although the National Coal Board was found to be to blame. | :10:20. | :10:34. | |
I can go back to that class in seconds. | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
And I don't imagine that will ever go away. | :10:37. | :10:57. | |
That was the report on the Aberfan disaster which happened 50 years ago | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
today. Let's go to Iraq and the fight | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
to retake the city of Mosul Government troops backed by Kurdish | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
forces are inching forward. With Iraqi troops pushing | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
in from the south and Kurdish But today IS militants struck back - | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
launching an attack in Kirkuk, about 200 kilometres | :11:15. | :11:23. | |
south-east of Mosul. Our Middle East correspondent | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
Orla Guerin sent this report Savouring freedom - | :11:26. | :11:27. | |

of so-called Islamic State, and the dangers of | :11:31. | :11:49. | |
coalition air strikes. IS targets north of Mosul | :11:50. | :11:50. | |
being pounded again today, This is the scene in | :11:51. | :11:53. | |

control, after a daring They hit multiple targets | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
in and around the oil-rich city, which is 100 miles from Mosul | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
and had been considered secure. Troops hunting for the militants | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
who proved they can still strike Back at the front line, | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
bomb disposal experts arrived They've already cleared 300 | :12:11. | :12:20. | |
landmines along a stretch Troops are getting into position | :12:21. | :12:29. | |
now for mine clearance. This is absolutely crucial | :12:30. | :12:57. | |
for the Peshmerga The mines are slowing progress | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
and they're claiming lives, but the work has | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
to be done with care. Islamic State has laid mines | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
in this area like a carpet. There were fears it | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
was a suicide bomber. Nearby, civilians who had just fled, | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
now safe from IS, but being screened by Kurdish intelligence, | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
they're trying to prevent militants This man tells us they were forced | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
to grow beards, and if IS caught someone with a phone, | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
they were beheaded. He's rushed away before | :13:24. | :13:24. | |
he can say more. A new camp is now being raised | :13:25. | :13:42. | |

Commemorations have been held on the 50th anniversary of one | :15:30. | :15:42. | |
of the worst disasters in modern British history - when a village | :15:43. | :15:57. | |
in Wales was engulfed by coal waste, killing over 100 children. | :15:58. | :15:59. | |
A flotilla of Russian warships have passed | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
through the English channel today - on its way to Syria. | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
The vessels included the aircraft carrier - | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
The flotilla, which is being viewed as a show of strength | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
from Moscow, was shadowed - all the way - by the Royal Navy. | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
Our correspondent Daniel Sandford watched as they passed | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
Cruising past Dover Harbour, beneath the iconic White Cliffs of Dover | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
and into the English Channel, Russia's only aircraft carrier | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
the Admiral Kuznetsov, a 30-year-old survivor | :16:21. | :16:21. | |
On its decks, the planes that will reinforce the Russian | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
Also in the flotilla, the battle cruiser, Peter the Great, | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
and the Russian ships were man marked as the Defence Secretary put | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
The type 45 destroyer HMS Duncan had sailed from Portsmouth to do | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
The type 23 frigate, the HMS Richmond has been | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
tracking the Russians all the way from Norway. | :16:39. | :16:40. | |
As we watched, all the ships were sailing west, straight down | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
It's been an extraordinary display of Russian military power, | :16:44. | :17:15. | |
just a few miles off the British coast. | :17:16. | :17:16. | |
One Moscow newspaper called it 'an armada', | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
and its chosen route, straight down the English Channel, | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
is likely to have been chosen deliberately. | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
The warships could have gone round the north coast of Scotland, | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
but this was the route that sent a message. | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
The deployment itself is clearly directed, | :17:28. | :17:28. | |
in the immediate sense, toward Syria, but it has a side | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
benefit to the mentality of the present-day leaders | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
of Russia, of showing that they still have a navy | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
And the message to this country, in particular, is probably | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
that their navy is more extensive than ours now. | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
For ten years now Russia's been directing displays | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
This was an encounter off the coast of Scotland, | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
filmed by the crew of a Russian bomber as it was challenged | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
But today's Russian drive-by, on the way to prop up | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
President Assad in Syria, was one of the more | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
dramatic displays, so close that the warships | :17:58. | :17:58. | |
could be clearly seen from the White Cliffs of Dover. | :17:59. | :18:04. | |

Let's take a look at some other stories now: | :18:13. | :18:21. | |
At least 53 people have died in a train crash in Cameroon. | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
The state rail company of Cameroon says a train has derailed | :18:26. | :18:27. | |
between the country's two main cities, Yaounde and Douala. | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
Witnesses say ten carriages overturned, trapping passengers | :18:31. | :18:31. | |
Extra coaches had been added to the train | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
because the highway between the two cities was closed due | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
European space officials have acknowledged a craft sent to Mars | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
crashed when touching down on the surface on the | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
The mission had been designed to usher in a new era | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
Officials estimate the impact could have happened | :18:47. | :18:48. | |
at a speed greater than 300 kilometres an hour. | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
Thailand and Australia have asked fans attending next month's | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
World Cup qualifying match to refrain from chanting, | :18:54. | :18:55. | |
out of respect for the mourning of the Thai king. | :18:56. | :18:57. | |
Both teams have also asked fans to wear clothing which is black, | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
white or grey, preferably without any designs. | :19:01. | :19:13. | |
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says two | :19:14. | :19:21. | |
of the Club's star players - striker Sergio Aguero | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
and defender Vincent Kompany - both "have a future". | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
Neither started the Champions League defeat against Barcelona | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
on Wednesday and Kompany wasn't even on the bench, leading | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
to reports they are not in the manager's plans. | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
Vincent Kompany and Sergio Aguero, their future at Manchester city... | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
Vincent Kompany was not fit, he was not perfectly fit, and that is why | :19:47. | :19:56. | |
we took that decision. Between them it would normally be Vincent Kompany | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
on the bench, but he was not fit. With respect to Sergio Aguero, it | :20:01. | :20:09. | |
was a tactical decision about the game. | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
Lauren Holiday, the US football star famous for helping her team win | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
the 2015 Women's World Cup, has had a brain tumour removed. | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
She was diagnosed just six weeks before she was due to give birth. | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
The two-time Olympic gold medallist decided to have her baby first | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
before surgery to take out the benign growth. | :20:25. | :20:26. | |
Her husband, NBA basketball star Drew Holiday, has taken indefinite | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
leave from the game to help care for her. | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
Her former USA team-mates were in action on Thursday night - | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
and took to social media to support her. | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
Morgan Brian posted this picture of them wearing wrist | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
bands labelled, "LH12," her initials and shirt number. | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
She also said, "Last night we played for you." | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
Bangladesh have moved to within 72 runs of England after two days | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
The visitors were bowled out for 293 in the morning, | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
Moeen Ali made a breakthrough just before lunch, taking two | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
Opening batsman Tamim Iqbal was 55 not out | :21:04. | :21:11. | |
as Bangladesh made 119-3 by tea - he eventually went for 78. | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
Bangladesh finished the day on 221 for five trailing | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
England by those 72 runs. | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
One baseball line for you - the Chicago Cubs are just one | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
win away from their first World Series appearance since 1945, | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
after beating the Dodgers 8-4 in Los Angeles on Thursday. | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
The win means the Cubs are 3-2 up in their seven-match | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
Obviously it feels good. I would much rather go home under those | :21:36. | :21:46. | |
circumstances than the other. You want to get it done as quickly as | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
possible so it will be a formidable event. Our guys will absolutely be | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
ready for the moment, I promise you that. It is great. The city of | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
Chicago will be buzzing right now. I expect it to sell out. It will be a | :22:00. | :22:00. | |
lot of fun. The NFL says it will | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
reopen its investigation into this man, New York Giants | :22:05. | :22:12. | |
kicker Josh Brown, after police documents | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
revealed the player admitted Brown was arrested last year but no | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
charges were brought. A separate NFL investigation | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
led to a one-game ban. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
they were not given access to all the information at the time | :22:23. | :22:24. | |
but will now look at the case again. We take this issue incredibly | :22:25. | :22:32. | |
seriously. This is something we have been working on through policy | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
changes, to educating our players to make sure they understand how to | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
deal with issues with their families, give the resources to be | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
able to deal with this. But when it happens we are not going to tolerate | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
it. So we have some new information here. We will evaluate that in the | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
context of our policy, and we will take it from there. | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
She's a comic book super hero - who became a TV star | :22:56. | :23:08. | |
in the 1970s watched by millions here and around the world. | :23:09. | :23:18. | |
But now, in a story twist, the United Nations is making wonder | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
woman a UN Ambassador for Women and Girls. | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
It is a decision that has bewildered some and sparked | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
protest from others - as Nick Bryant reports | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
She can leap from tall buildings, she can also bend steel, but the | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
transformation of Wonder Woman into a UN Ambassador for Female | :23:34. | :23:35. | |
Empowerment has plunged this world body into the kind of storm that | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
would test even her superhuman powers. | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
This is the modern-day face of Wonder Woman, and the actress | :23:43. | :23:44. | |
Lynda Carter who brought her to life in the television series was also at | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
With a new film about to be launched, UN officials | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
hope the hero will help to reach younger audiences around the world. | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
So Wonder Woman lives - do not doubt it. | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
Wonder Woman helps bring out the inner | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
But staff at the UN today mounted a silent protest. | :24:01. | :24:12. | |
"Real women deserve a real ambassador", read their signs. | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
There is also a real annoyance that the | :24:15. | :24:16. | |
superhero's leather boots might trample on cultural, religious and | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
Hundreds of UN staff have added their names | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
to an online petition, complaining, and I quote, | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
"That a large breasted white woman of impossible | :24:30. | :24:31. | |
proportions, scantily clad in a shimmery, thigh-baring body suit | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
with an American motif and knee-high boots is not an appropriate | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
So what's been the reaction outside the UN? | :24:36. | :24:48. | |
I like what she stands for, I don't really | :24:49. | :24:50. | |
Although Wonder Woman is a great character, I think we can find | :24:51. | :25:09. | |
someone better to represent women, someone who is not | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
The UN hoped this collaboration would be a PR coup, | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
but there are many senior figures here who view it | :25:16. | :25:17. | |
Wonder Woman raising eyebrows in New York. Now there is just time to | :25:18. | :25:34. | |
bring you these pictures... A Russian Soyuz spacecraft | :25:35. | :25:36. | |
has succesfully docked with the International Space | :25:37. | :25:38. | |
Station. The Soyuz craft, with two Russians | :25:39. | :25:39. | |
and one American on board, completed the docking | :25:40. | :25:41. | |
manoeuvre on Friday morning, after blasting off from | :25:42. | :25:43. | |
Kazakhstan two days earlier. The three men will spend five months | :25:44. | :25:45. | |
on the station before Don't they look very happy to be | :25:46. | :26:03. | |
there? Don't forget you can get in touch with me on Twitter. I am Alpa | :26:04. | :26:05. |
