And one of the most eagerly anticipated football matches, the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Champions League final, reaches its climax. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Hello and welcome to World News Today. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Reports from the Iraqi city of Mosul say dozens of civilians have been | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
killed while fleeing a neighbourhood held by Islamic State fighters. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Exactly how they died is not yet clear. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
But there have been reports of the militants targeting civilians | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
Iraqi government forces retook eastern Mosul back in January. | :00:28. | :00:39. | |
They began a new push this week to capture the remaining | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
part held by Islamic State in the west. | :00:43. | :00:52. | |
The latest fighting is focused on Al Zanjili | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
They are escaping. They decided to gather their children and take their | :00:55. | :01:04. | |
chances in the streets of this war zone, fleeing neighbourhoods | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
controlled by the militants. There was danger all around, from the | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
militants and the attacking Government forces and their US | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
allies in aircraft overhead. TRANSLATION: I went out to bring | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
water from a nearby place. We were about 200 or 250 people, and a | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
member of Islamic State walked amongst us. Minutes later, a plane | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
struck the crowd. He managed to escape and we were hurt. In amongst | :01:35. | :01:44. | |
the families came the casualties. In one place, many did not survive, | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
their bodies were left lying where they fell. There is this account of | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
what happened. How the slaughter here unfolded. In the last two days, | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
IS has been shooting people escaping from this area in the street. I saw | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
over 50 dead bodies yesterday. We work with the Americans to give | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
smoke and Iraqi tank, and we followed behind them and rescued one | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
little girl and one man. While the civilians tried to flee, the battle | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
for Mosul rages on. There has been a month after month of intense street | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
fighting. Every house is being fought for. But the soldiers are now | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
closing in on the militants' last Bastian, Mosul's historic old city | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
and the few areas around it. For some, those who made it through the | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
front lines, there is relief, a sudden sense that, at least for now, | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
the worst is over. Alan Johnston, BBC News. | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
Days after President Trump pulled the United States out | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
of the Paris climate deal, France and India have reaffirmed | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
At a meeting in Paris, Mr Macron said they stood | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
India is the third-largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world. | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
Mr Modi said the Paris climate agreement was part | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
TRANSLATION: We are in favour of this Paris agreement and we will | :03:07. | :03:17. | |
Even if this agreement did not exist, we will ensure that | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
future generations receive something good from ours. | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
-- future generations receive something good from us. | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
Actually, it's about something that can protect future | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
generations, that can give rise to a new Hope. | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
It's not simply just about the protection | :03:39. | :03:39. | |
of the environment, it's about our common responsibility | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
The deputy leader of Afghanistan has survived a bomb attack at a funeral | :03:42. | :03:54. | |
in the capital, Kabul. That the seven people were cold and over 100 | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
injured in the explosions. The funeral was taking place of the son | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
of a prominent politician. He was killed yesterday during clashes | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
between demonstrators and police. From Kabul, we were sent this | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
report, which contains images find upsetting. Bloodshed in a | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
graveyard. Mourners were targeted in the cemetery as they were burying... | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
Survivors describe the carnage they had witnessed. TRANSLATION: There | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
were explosions everywhere, and I saw my hands and face were burning. | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
There were parts of human bodies lying all around me. After that, I | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
had to get to hospital. This is the third time in four days that dead | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
and injured Afghans have been brought to emergency hospitals | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
across the city. Kabul used to be one of the most secure places in the | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
country, now it seems it is one of the most dangerous. Relatives | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
gathered, anxious for news of their loved ones. This man was describing | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
how the suicide bombers blew themselves up one after another, | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
when suddenly gunfire rang out. It turned out to be warning shots from | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
the police, but it's a measure of how tense the city is. Kabul is | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
still reeling from a blast on Wednesday which killed 90 people. | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
Many residents are furious with the authorities for not providing better | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
security. One of the leaders of the unity Government was at the funeral | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
today, and I asked him why so many attacks seemed to be succeeding. I | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
would say that we will raise this issue very seriously within our own | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
system. You are not resigning? If that would have been the solution, | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
that would have been the first thing I would have resorted to. Them is | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
real anger here at the rising tide of violence, but it seems no one, | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
not the Government and not the international community, knows how | :06:00. | :06:00. | |
to stop it. He's a fellow with the Atlantic | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
Council's South Asia Center. He joins me live from Washington. A | :06:07. | :06:18. | |
tragic few days in Afghanistan. As the Government lost control of the | :06:19. | :06:29. | |
country? They have been fighting the insurgency on multiple fronts. It is | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
not just the Taliban that are active in Afghanistan, but according to the | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
top US commander in the country, there are at least 20 other militant | :06:40. | :06:49. | |
terrorist groups active in Afghanistan and Pakistan in the last | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
couple of years. At least 20 of them are involved in breast activities in | :06:54. | :07:04. | |
the country, including an affiliate of Islamic State. Their results of a | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
Pakistan -based network which Afghan intelligence has said was behind the | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
recent truck bombing in central Kabul on Wednesday. Needless to say | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
that this year and last have been the years of survival for the Afghan | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
Government. Often times, their ability to take on each of the | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
insurgent groups that operate in the country and be effective at it is | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
overstretched, but it does not mean they are losing control over their | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
security situation. We saw in our report that | :07:48. | :08:05. | |
The Government controls much of the territory, but occasional attacks in | :08:06. | :08:32. | |
places like Kabul and other urban areas do happen. The reasons behind | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
it is attributed to a failure of intelligence on the Afghan part. The | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
Afghan security forces are also on the front line and they are fighting | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
very bravely, which has also led to an alarming number of casualties. | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
The Afghan Government has ruled out a new security plan to work on the | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
effectiveness of the Afghan security forces, including building the | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
offensive capabilities of the force and improving its leadership, which | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
I think will prove very useful in the months ahead in the fight | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
against the Taliban. This year will be a challenging one nonetheless, | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
for both the the goverment and security forces, with setbacks in | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
like Kabul. Unfortunately, it seems that before the situation gets | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
better, it is likely to get worse. Thank you very much for being with | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
BBC World. Let's take a look at some of | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
the other stories making the news. The US Defence Secretary, | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
James Mattis, says China's actions in the South China Sea show | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
a 'blatant disregard to the militarisation | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
of international waters and contribute | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
to instability in the region. A worldwide clinical trial has | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
reduced the risk of dying from prostate cancer | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
by nearly forty percent. The trial is believed to be | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
the largest of its kind. And uses a drug to stop more | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
testosterone reaching the prostate An outdoor music festival in Germany | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
has resumed after a terror threat Organisers say they were given | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
the go-ahead after an intensive search of the area found no evidence | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
of a concrete threat. It's less than a week before the UK | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
general election and the ruling Conservatives are coming under | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
pressure over their tax plans. The opposition Labour Party - | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
gaining in the polls - says the wealthy are being protected | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
from tax rises at the expense of the poor, a charge | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
the Government strongly denies. Senior Conservatives, including | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
the Defence Secretary and Foreign Secretary, have been sending | :10:47. | :10:59. | |
out a strong message If you are worried that income tax | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
might rise if we are elected, don't The Conservative manifesto | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
is nowhere near as explicit. What people will know | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
when they've vote on Thursday, it is the Conservative Party who | :11:11. | :11:19. | |
always has and is a low tax party. It is our intention to reduce taxes | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
for ordinary working families. What does the Conservative | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
manifesto say on tax question at the last election | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
David Cameron promise not to increase income tax, | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
national insurance or VAT. The 2017 manifesto, | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
only the Pledge on VAT Promising to raise the level | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
at which people pay the standard and higher amount of tax | :11:42. | :11:52. | |
would also amount to a reduction. Theresa May could have | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
tough Brexit talks ahead. There is no pledge not to increase | :11:56. | :11:56. | |
income tax was that she and her colleagues are talking | :11:57. | :12:08. | |
about tax today because they want to refocus attention in this campaign | :12:09. | :12:17. | |
about what would happen if a Labour Chancellor moves into | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
number 11 Downing Street. Labour says the policy of making | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
the better off and big businesses pay more is popular | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
and the There is chaos going | :12:30. | :12:30. | |
on at the top of the What Labour is offering | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
is no tax rises or An increase in | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
corporation tax and some other tax increases at the top end | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
to pay for social care. Theresa May could be | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
finding it is more convivial to talk about | :12:51. | :13:07. | |
tax than social care. colleagues are trying | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
to stir the enthusiasm of traditional voters | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
by saying instincts on | :13:13. | :13:12. | |
taxation are the same. Ariana Grande has made a surprise | :13:13. | :13:19. | |

beyond and cut its pledged under the Paris climate accord following the | :15:02. | :15:04. | |

Is Russia interfering with US politics? | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
It's the question hanging over Washington ever | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
Moscow has always denied involvement. | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
Those Russians whose names have emerged usually | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
But this week some were at the annual St Petersburg Economic Forum. | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
Our correspondent Sarah Rainsford was there, attempting | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
Can I just ask what it is you would like | :15:25. | :16:03. | |
Sarah Rainsford on the alleged Russian links to the Trump campaign. | :16:04. | :16:34. | |
So, over in America, where has the investigation | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
I asked our correspondent David Willis. | :16:38. | :16:45. | |
Next Thursday, the former director of the FBI, James Comey, is due to | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
give evidence to a Senate committee. This is the man who was leading the | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
investigation into links between the Trump administration and the | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
Russians before he was dismissed last month by Donald Trump. Now, any | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
evidence from his testimony that Donald Trump has sought to impede | :17:10. | :17:17. | |
that enquiry will be seized upon by opponents of the president. It had | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
been thought that perhaps the White House might seek executive privilege | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
to prevent James Comey from testifying. They can do that if a | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
Government official is threatening to reveal secrets, but the downside | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
of that, of course, is that the White House then looks as though it | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
has something to hide, so no indication at the moment that it is | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
going to do that. Meanwhile, a lot of speculation about the possible | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
role played by the President's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, in this | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
whole ongoing Russian investigation. Tell us more about Jared Kushner. He | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
is a person of interest. That's right. Yes, and he is a man who is | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
very close to the president, of course, the son-in-law of President | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
Trump, but also a special adviser to Mr Trump. It has been reported here | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
that he had meetings with the Russian ambassador to the US, and to | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
a Russian banker with close ties to the Russian president, Vladimir | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
Putin. There are also suggestions that Mr Kushner explore the | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
possibility of setting up a secure communications channel using a | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
Russian diplomatic facility to enable discussions between the Trump | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
Administration and Moscow, the suggestion being as well that these | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
meetings between the Russians and Mr Kushner took place in December of | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
last year, after Donald Trump add won the election but before his | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
administration had actually taken office. | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
The singer Ariana Grande has made a surprise visit to fans | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
still in hospital after last month's terror attack. | :19:13. | :19:13. | |
On Sunday she'll be joined by other music stars, | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
in a charity concert to raise money for the victims and their families. | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
From Manchester, Philip Norton reports. | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
Helping to mend broken hearts and shattered lives. | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
Pop star Ariana Grande visiting young fans who were injured | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
in the suicide bomb attack at her concert less | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
She posted a photo of her visit to Royal Manchester Children's Hospital | :19:32. | :19:40. | |
Among those she visited, eight-year-old fan Lily Harrison. | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
She suffered spinal injuries in the blast at Manchester Arena. | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
Our room was the last room on the ward of the corridor. | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
I think I was probably just as nervous as Lily. | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
She said, I think I might need to go to the toilet. | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
And then, yeah, she just came skipping onto our ward. | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
There's been an outpouring of love for the 22 victims who died | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
Ariana Grande has returned to the UK for a benefit concert in Manchester | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
tomorrow night and many of those injured, including Lily, | :20:22. | :20:23. | |
We said, if you want to go, we'll make sure you've got tickets. | :20:24. | :20:34. | |
If we get to the venue, or are on the way to the venue, | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
and you say you don't want to go, we're more than happy | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
Proceeds from the concert will go towards that We Love | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
Manchester Emergency Fund, set up by Manchester City Council | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
and the British Red Cross to support grieving families | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
A huge stage and tight security is in place. | :20:50. | :21:00. | |
An effort that would normally take months of planning | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
This is where the eyes of the world will be focused tomorrow night. | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
Millions of people will watch as Ariana Grande is joined on stage | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
by the likes of Coldplay, Take That and Katy Perry. | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
This concert will be broadcast tomorrow in 50 countries | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
A night of unity, remembrance and a shared love of music. | :21:19. | :21:37. | |
Lets get some sport with Hugh. A big match in Cardiff? | :21:38. | :21:46. | |
That's right the first man to score in three Champions League finals has | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
set his team on the road to history, and he has done it twice for Real | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
Madrid in Cardiff. Cristiano Ronaldo struck his first for Real Madrid in | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
the 20th minute, his side helping to be the first team to win the | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
Champions League twice in a row. Then the Juventus equalised with a | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
brilliant overhead kick, a stunning goal that may well have been the | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
headline if it wasn't for what happened subsequently. It brought | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
Juventus level at the time but then to goals in a few minutes change | :22:17. | :22:33. | |
things. There are about 30 minutes of normal time left, and a lot for | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
Juventus to do. They are trailing 3-1 in Cardiff. | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
The world number one is safely into the second week at the French Open | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
tennis after beating Juan Martin del Potro in the third round at Roland | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
Garros, getting the better of two fiercely contested opening sets. | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
Murray won the first on a tie-break, then the second 7-5, then he | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
clinched his place in the last 16 in impressive style, taking the third | :23:01. | :23:11. | |
set without dropping a game. It is a big win for the eve. It was | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
never going to be easy today. He is a tough guy to play against, | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
especially this early in a major. He came out playing very aggressive, | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
serving really well at the beginning and it was tough, but I managed to | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
turn it around and play some really good stuff at the end, so it was a | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
very positive win for me. South Africa have beating Sri Lanka by 96 | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
runs in the opening match in group B. South Africa made 299-6, Hashim | :23:43. | :23:53. | |
Amla scoring a 25th ODI century in his career. The Sri Lankan batting | :23:54. | :24:05. | |
was all-out for 203. The British and Irish Lion started their tour of New | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
Zealand with a 17-13 victory over the Barbarians. It was expected to | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
be straightforward with a side made up of fringe players. The barbarians | :24:17. | :24:25. | |
had a 7-3 lead at the break. The lions edged ahead on 53 minutes, | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
then the conversion gave them a little bit of breathing space. They | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
held on in the end for a scrappy victory. | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
Britain's richest horse race, the Epsom Derby, has been won by the | :24:38. | :24:46. | |
40-1 outsider Wings Of Eagles, who came from behind, passing several | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
horses in the last 100 metres to win. It was the first win for the | :24:50. | :24:58. | |
Irish jockey, and the sixth for his trainer, Aidan O'Brien. That is all | :24:59. | :25:00. | |
the sport for now. Don't forget you can get | :25:01. | :25:09. | |
in touch with me and some | :25:10. | :25:13. |
