Iraqi forces say they've taken control of the main | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
base of the so-called Islamic State in Mosul. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
The remaining IS militants have been driven here but at what cost. This | :00:20. | :00:32. | |
hospital complex which was a place of healing now lies in ruins like | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
many other parts of Mosul. Scuffles in Hong Kong | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
as its newly appointed China warns against any | :00:41. | :00:42. | |

to Helmut Kohl, uniter of Germany and architect | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
of the European Union's expansion. Helmut Kohl gave us the chance to be | :00:49. | :01:04. | |
involved in something bigger than ourselves, bigger than our terms of | :01:05. | :01:05. | |
office. Canada marks the 150th anniversary | :01:06. | :01:09. | |

to World News Today. We begin in Mosul, where | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
after intense fighting, Iraqi forces say they've taken | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
control of the so-called The militants have also been driven | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
from a hospital compound, where several senior IS leaders | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
were thought to have been hiding. But fighting is continuing around | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
part of the Old City. Commanders say they are confident | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
a final victory is in sight. Our correspondent Orla Guerin | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
reports from Mosul. A symbol of victory, | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
planted this morning in what was the main base | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
of IS in Mosul. Troops weary after driving | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
the militants from this vast medical complex but vowing to hunt down | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
every last one of them. We will keep chasing them and those | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
who support them, says this man. Commanders say they have removed | :02:29. | :02:33. | |

is not only an Iraqi problem, says the colonel, | :02:45. | :02:53. | |
it is international. He was interrupted by a booby | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
trapped bomb, the militants may have gone from here but they left plenty | :02:59. | :03:08. | |
of threats behind. And plenty of wreckage in Iraq's | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
second largest city. This is what victory looks | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
like in Mosul after more The remaining IS militants have been | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
driven from here but at what cost? This hospital complex | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
which was a place of healing now lies in ruins, like many other | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
parts of Mosul. The city may be regaining | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
its freedom but there will be This territory has now been | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
reclaimed but not before Commanders admit that even | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
when it is, there's a real There have been scuffles | :03:47. | :03:59. | |
between pro-democracy demonstrators and police in Hong Kong just hours | :04:00. | :04:19. | |
after new Chief Executive It's 20 years since Britain handed | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
over Hong Kong to China. Activists have accused Beijing | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
of clamping down on free speech. But the visiting President Xi has | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
warned against any challenge Not the images China wanted for the | :04:39. | :04:50. | |
20th anniversary of the Hong Kong handover. Democracy activists trying | :04:51. | :05:00. | |
to gate-crash the party. Xi Jinping was safely inside, swearing in a new | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
government and delivering staring words about Hong Kong's future. | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
TRANSLATION: Any attempt to endanger china boss on sovereignty and | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
security challenging the power of central government is an act that | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
crosses the red line and is absolutely impermissible. Tough Love | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
was the message throughout his tour of Hong Kong. Greetings, Comrade | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
scum he shouted. Hong Kong may be special but it must learn to love -- | :05:31. | :05:40. | |
greetings, comrades, he shouted. Hong Kong may be special but it must | :05:41. | :05:50. | |
learn to love the motherland. No sooner had President Xi left, than | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
the streets filled with protesters, marking the anniversary of the | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
handover in their usual style. Shouting at China patriots to go | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
back to the mainland. Taiwan's flags among countless ways to defy 1-party | :06:06. | :06:14. | |
China. China controls the hard power in Hong Kong, but this illustrates | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
the problem it has with soft power. They did not come out to welcome | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
president Xi, they did not come out to celebrate 20 years since the | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
handover of Hong Kong. They are here on the street to demand democracy | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
and cherish their right to protest. 20 years since the handover, and | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
tacking between two Masters is getting harder all the time. The | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
Hong Kong public want more say in their lives, and so does Beijing. | :06:44. | :06:52. | |
Tonight is China show, but this city is profoundly uncertain about what | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
the next 20 years of Chinese rule might bring. | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
Let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
Ukraine says Russian security services were involved in the cyber | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
attack on the country earlier this week. The authorities in Kiev say | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
they believe the attacks to have been carried out by the same hackers | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
who targeted Ukraine late last year. The Kremlin dismissed the | :07:22. | :07:22. | |
allegations as an founded. Qatar has rejected the list of | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
demands by several Gulf states led by Saudi Arabia. But it says it is | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
ready to engage in dialogue under the right conditions. The Qatari | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
Foreign Minister spoke two days before an ultimatum set by those | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
countries runs out. Efforts involving Russia are continuing to | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
evolve the worst crisis in the Gulf for many years. Large numbers of | :07:48. | :08:00. | |
migrants arrive in Italy. Nearly 11,000 migrants arrived on Italian | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
shores in just five days last month. The EU commissioner said he | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
understood why the situation was untenable. | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
Helmut Kohl - the father of German reunification and the country's | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
longest serving Chancellor in modern time - | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
The service took place in Speyer Cathedral. | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
His coffin was then taken away by an honour guard | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
Earlier, world leaders, old and new, paid tribute at a ceremony | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
in the European Parliament in Strasbourg. | :08:37. | :08:37. | |
Helmut Kohl's Coffin brought into the parliament as world leaders came | :08:38. | :08:58. | |
to pay tribute. This was a man who could do what many thought was | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
impossible, making Germany one nation again but within Europe and | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
without awaking the dark memories of the past. In speeches, they pay | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
tribute to Helmut Kohl's achievement and his generous large personality. | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
Friends from the past but the former Spanish Prime Minister and Bill | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
Clinton who delivered a rhetorical toured a toured a force. Helmut Kohl | :09:24. | :09:31. | |
gave us the chance to be involved in something bigger than ourselves, | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
bigger than our terms of office, bigger than our fleeting careers, | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
because all of us sooner or later will be in a coffin like that. And | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
the only gift we can leave behind is a better future for our children, | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
and the freedom to make their own choices, including their own | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
mistakes. Angela Merkel, who had a note or is he difficult relationship | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
with Helmut Kohl in recent years, said all that was now forgotten and | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Europe would be forever grateful for whatever predecessor had done. | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
TRANSLATION: Thank you to the opportunities and chances you gave | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
me, thank you for the chances you gave to many others as well. Thank | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
you very much for the chances that we as Germans and Europeans have | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
received. Thanks to you, you have achieved a huge amount, may you rest | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
in peace. Now it is up to us to actually preserve and guard your | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
legacy. I bow before you and your memory in gratitude and humility. It | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
has of course been a sad occasion. The presidents of Helmut Kohl's | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
without a reminder that this was the death of a man, not just a | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
politician. But it is more than that. This has in effect being the | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
European Union's first-ever state funeral, and if it has been | :10:53. | :11:03. | |
conducted with such a sense of ceremony, it is because Europe's new | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
leaders, especially Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel want to capture | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
and distilled something of the spirit of Helmut Kohl which worked | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
to such effect a quarter of a century ago. After the European fair | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
wells, the German. Helmut Kohl's body was transported to his hometown | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
where he was born and died, and then transferred by riverboat to the | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
Cathedral of Speyer, a thousand -year-old building which he loved | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
and which is said symbolised the essence of the European Union. | :11:32. | :11:36. | |

As Canada celebrates its anniversary of independence - | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
we explore the connection with a popular British TV drama. | :11:41. | :12:04. | |
China marked its first day of rule in Hong Kong with spectacular | :12:05. | :12:13. | |
celebrations. The Prime Minister said it was a new era for Hong Kong. | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
The first clone has been produced of an adult mammal. Scientists in | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
Scotland have produced a sheep called Dolly which was cloned in | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
aiming laboratory. For the first time in 20 years, | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
Russian and American spacecraft docked in orbit in an era of in | :12:34. | :12:44. | |
space. Challenger powered past the Bishop | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
Rod lighthouse at almost 50 knots, shattering a record which had stood | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
for almost 54 years. There was no hiding the sheer elation of Richard | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
Branson and his crew. The latest headlines: Iraqi forces | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
say they've taken control of the main base of the so-called | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
Islamic State in Mosul. Thousands have been demonstrating | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
in Hong Kong, calling for greater democracy 20 years | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
after the territory's President Trump has attacked US | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
states refusing to hand over personal information - | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
to a commission he created More than 20 states have | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
declined the requests, saying they are unnecessary | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
and violated privacy. Let's go to Washington - | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
where we can join Laura Bicker. Laura, what do you think the | :13:44. | :13:56. | |
president will do next, given that these 20 states have refused to hand | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
over this information? His tweet kind of says, what are you doing? | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
What are you trying to hide by not giving us this information? But the | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
states that have been asked, more than 20 of them are refusing to | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
comply. Let's go back a bit. He set up this election integrity | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
commission back in May, because Donald Trump believes that millions | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
of voters committed fraud, during the presidential election. One of | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
the reasons he believes this is because it is said that Hillary | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
Clinton won the popular vote, he won the electoral college vote so that a | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
discounted state-by-state. He believes that there are millions of | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
votes which have been cast wrongly or there has been widespread voter | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
fraud. This commission was set up and on Wednesday, all states were | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
sent a letter asking them to give the birth date, the addresses, the | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
Social Security numbers and any felony is, Mr mean is that these | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
voters may have committed in the past, hand over all this information | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
within two weeks. Some of the states are simply refusing. They say that | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
it is unnecessary. California has sent its reply. This is a democratic | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
state. This would only serve to legitimise the false and already | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
debunked claims of mass voter fraud by the President. It is not just | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
democratic statehood rubbishing back. Mississippi for instance. The | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
Republican secretary of state says they have rejected it on privacy | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
grounds. They believe this information could be hacked by cyber | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
security hackers. They have said Mississippi residents should | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
celebrate Independence Day, it is a big holiday this weekend, and our | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
state's right to privacy. They say they can go jump in the gulf of | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
Mexico and Mississippi is a good place to jump from. Quite clear from | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
Mississippi there. What Donald Trump does now, we will have to wait and | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
see. It is an extraordinary row. What you think will happen next, | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
given that the states have refused to give this information. Why do you | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
think the president is so disgusted with this issue, given that he won | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
the election? His claims have no evidence to back up this claim that | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
there has been widespread voter fraud. There are some examples in | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
some states where 100 votes have been found to perhaps not contain | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
the name and address of voter. Part of the problem is registration of | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
voters, 200 million voters right across the United States. He | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
believes that some people who have died, have then stayed on the voter | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
registration lists, and then someone has gone and voted on their behalf. | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
One of the reasons he believes this is because of the popular vote, | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote, and he believes there has been | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
widespread voter fraud and that many people did not vote for him, because | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
they were registered Republicans and they may have voted Democrat. He is | :17:10. | :17:17. | |
looking to see who voted when and where and how they voted in the | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
past. The idea is to trace perhaps any voter fraud they may find. But | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
as you have heard, so far, no evidence has been put forward to | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
back this up, and state say to give all this information into weeks, | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
over 20 states are saying they simply cannot do it. Laura Bicker | :17:37. | :17:38. | |
from Washington, thank very much. Celebrations are taking place across | :17:39. | :17:49. | |
Canada and hundreds and thousands are gathering in the capital to mark | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
the 150th anniversary of Confederation. But some indigenous | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
groups complain their treatment has been overlooked, something the Prime | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
Minister addressed in a TV statement ahead of the celebrations. | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
Meanwhile, Prince Charles, air to Queen Elizabeth who is Canada's head | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
of state, has just received the order of Canada, the country's | :18:14. | :18:15. | |
second-highest honour, to recognise service to the community. | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
Our correspondent Gavin Hewitt is there on a busy Parliament Hill | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
Tens of thousands of Canadians have gathered here on Parliament Hill in | :18:21. | :18:29. | |
Ottawa. But then this is an important moment, to celebrate 150 | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
years of their identity, of their history, of their culture. There has | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
been torrential rain that it has not deterred people. They come in | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
ponchos. Some of them decorated with Maple Leafs. There is also a | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
question about whether indigenous Canadians will be celebrating this | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
last 150 years. Many of them have spoken of mistreatment, of broken | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
promises, and of some violence against them during that period. | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
Yesterday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went into a teepee for 40 | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
minutes to try and reassure them that they too could enjoy | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
reconciliation in a modern culture which emphasised multilateralism and | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
diversity. It may come as a surprise that part | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
of Canada's Declaration of Independence was drafted - | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
not in North America - The venue - Highclere Castle, | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
where the British TV series The libraries of England's grand | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
houses harbour many secrets. But amongst the 8,000 books | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
at Highclere, better known to billions as Downton | :19:36. | :19:43. | |
Abbey, was a corker. At the bottom of this | :19:44. | :19:45. | |
page are three names, John Macdonald, GE | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
Cartier, and Galt. So I did a bit of research, | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
and within one second realised John A Macdonald became the first | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
Prime Minister of Canada, and led this delegation | :20:02. | :20:10. | |
hosted by the fourth earl. Over the year, they drafted | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
the British North America Act. Actually, quite a bit | :20:14. | :20:15. | |
of the constitution was written Perhaps they discussed it around | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
this dining room table, perhaps they stood by the saloon | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
fire on a cold, wintry day. With the government now modelled | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
on the British Parliament, modern Canada was born | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
on the 1 July 1867. I certainly was not aware of it, | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
and I don't think enough The setting is hugely important, | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
but it is also the important role I look forward to actually having | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
the chance to make sure that it Diaries, telegrams and letters | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
have been uncovered, adding real colour | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
to these negotiations. UK-based Canadians invited | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
to the castle were certainly moved. England is home to me, | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
even though we have lived It wasn't just the constitution | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
of Canada that was drafted The name of this new territory | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
was decided here, as well, although there were | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
other suggestions. Franklin was one, quickly | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
followed by Guefeleland, before Lord Canarvon had his way, | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
and Canada was chosen. For his work, the fourth Earl had a | :21:27. | :21:45. | |
town named after him in Canada but left a legacy for both countries. | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
The British and Irish Lions have produced one of their great | :21:54. | :22:05. | |
performances to level the series against New Zealand and set up | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
The Lions only clinched victory with a penalty | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
Our sports correspondent Katie Gornall was at the match. | :22:13. | :22:43. | |
Hope was beginning to fade but the Lions sprang into life. First | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
through Toby Faletau and then a converted Conor Murray try brought | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
the Lions level. With minutes remaining, Owen Farrell held his | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
nerve to kick the Lions to a famous victory, and one which keeps the | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
dream alive. I genuinely would only be happy if we got that Test series | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
win next week. I am glad that we've got one game, I guessed, regards | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
whatever happens, we will come back with some credibility and the Lions | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
moving forward, and keeping the reputation of that. I will only be | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
happy if there is a series win for us on the line. | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
I am extremely proud of our legs. We said they were a good side right | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
from the day they were selected -- I am extremely proud of our blokes. | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
There are good side. Congratulations to the Lions. They worked their way | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
back into the game and finally came back over the top of us in the last | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
five minutes to get in front. Congratulations to them. Now we have | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
got to go to Auckland and it is one each. We will all get excited that. | :23:52. | :24:03. | |
Geraint Thomas has become the first Welshman in history to wear | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
the yellow jersey of the Tour de France. | :24:07. | :24:07. | |
He won this year's first stage in Germany, a 14 kilometre | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
time trial through Dusseldorf, after completing it in an impressive | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
Thomas's Sky team mate and defending champion Chris Froome | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
came through the day unscathed, finishing in sixth overall. | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
Thomas is the first Welshman to wear the yellow jersey. And maize in, the | :24:22. | :24:30. | |
stuff of dreams. The tour is what got me into cycling. I remember | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
rushing home from school to watch it. To be the other side of the | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
camera and taking the jersey is incredible. It is my eighth grand | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
tour. To finally win the stage and then the jersey is a massive bonus. | :24:44. | :24:55. | |
Novak Djokovic has completed the ideal warm-up for Wimbledon | :24:56. | :24:57. | |
by winning his first title since January. | :24:58. | :24:59. | |
He beat Gael Monfils in straight sets at Eastbourne. | :25:00. | :25:01. | |
Djokovic accepted a wildcard to play on the South Coast after his early | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
It is always incredible winning on grass. This used to be the most | :25:05. | :25:17. | |
common surface. Now we only have a few weeks in the entire season | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
played on grass. This is the best possible build-up for me in | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
preparation for what is coming up next week, and hopefully I will be | :25:25. | :25:26. | |
able to take it from here. The world number three | :25:27. | :25:34. | |
Karolina Pliskova could be a good bet for the women's | :25:35. | :25:36. | |
title at Wimbledon. She had a walkover in her semi-final | :25:37. | :25:38. | |
after Johanna Konta's withdrawal through injury, | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
and she beat former World Number One | :25:42. | :25:42. | |
Caroline Wozniacki in straight sets. Congratulations to her and that is | :25:43. | :25:52. | |
all the sport for now. James, thank you. A busy programme. | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
That is it from me and the team. Bye-bye for now. | :25:57. | :26:02. |
