:00:56. > :00:57.Hello and welcome to World News Today.
:00:58. > :01:00.We start with an update on the attack on the Israeli embassy
:01:01. > :01:01.in the Jordanian capital, Amman.
:01:02. > :01:05.A short while ago, local police confirmed one Jordanian citizen
:01:06. > :01:09.was killed and two people wounded - including one Israeli.
:01:10. > :01:11.Security forces have sealed off the embassy
:01:12. > :01:14.which is in an affluent part of Amman.
:01:15. > :01:16.The Israeli authorities are not commenting on the incident,
:01:17. > :01:18.and for the moment have imposed reporting restrictions.
:01:19. > :01:28.Our Middle East Editor Alan Johnson has more.
:01:29. > :01:34.The Israelis are saying nothing about whatever has gone on at the
:01:35. > :01:39.embassy in demand. In fact they have imposed restrictions on reporting.
:01:40. > :01:44.What little we know has come from Jordanian sources. They say there
:01:45. > :01:48.is, as you said, one local person, a Jordanian man, killed in a shooting
:01:49. > :01:56.incident will stop an Israeli was wounded. The area around the embassy
:01:57. > :02:02.is now a subject of a major security operation. We have no idea exactly
:02:03. > :02:06.what motivated this attack. What sparked this. But in the absence of
:02:07. > :02:10.more information, there's bound to be speculation in the region and
:02:11. > :02:15.beyond. That this incident was linked to the current tensions in
:02:16. > :02:21.Jerusalem, and as you know, there are some very strong feelings there
:02:22. > :02:27.regarding Israel's position of new security measures at the holy site
:02:28. > :02:33.known to Muslims as the Ron and to dues as the Temple Mount. There is
:02:34. > :02:37.strong feeling that in Jordan. There have been a series of demonstrations
:02:38. > :02:40.during the day. There is speculation that this attack on the embassy may
:02:41. > :02:43.have been linked to the tension surrounding Jerusalem.
:02:44. > :02:46.Eight suspected illegal immigrants have been found dead at a car
:02:47. > :02:50.The were found inside a truck parked outside a Walmart store.
:02:51. > :02:52.20 others, also believed to be illegal immigrants
:02:53. > :02:54.were found in the truck alive but in a critical condition,
:02:55. > :02:56.some are suffering from heatstroke or dehydration.
:02:57. > :02:58.Police say the driver has been arrested and charged -
:02:59. > :03:06.and they described the incident as a human trafficking case.
:03:07. > :03:08.Earlier I spoke to our Washington correspondent Laura Bicker -
:03:09. > :03:17.I began by asking her what we knew about the victims.
:03:18. > :03:25.Police say that at least two of them were school-aged children, the rest
:03:26. > :03:30.seem to be ages between 20 and 30. As you have just mentioned, they are
:03:31. > :03:34.certainly treating this as a smuggling, human trafficking
:03:35. > :03:42.incident. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. In this part
:03:43. > :03:46.of the US. San Antonio is about 150 miles, 240 kilometres from the
:03:47. > :03:51.Mexican border, and border patrols have reported within the last month
:03:52. > :03:57.finding at least two such tractor-trailers nearby, one with
:03:58. > :04:02.over 70 migrants, one with over 40. When it comes to trying to prevent
:04:03. > :04:08.this kind of incident, Donald Trump has obviously proposed his border
:04:09. > :04:12.wall, which would cost $20 billion. But the number of border control
:04:13. > :04:17.officers has been stepped up over recent months, and there have been a
:04:18. > :04:21.number of raids to try to round up illegal immigrants and send them
:04:22. > :04:25.back. But experts say that by hardening the border patrols and by
:04:26. > :04:29.hardening the Borders, what it does mean is that more people will turn
:04:30. > :04:31.to the likes of smugglers and pay them to try to get a new life in the
:04:32. > :04:32.United States. Let's take a look at some of
:04:33. > :04:35.the other stories making the news: The new White House communications
:04:36. > :04:37.director, Anthony Scaramucci, has appeared on Sunday shows
:04:38. > :04:39.in the US. He said on FOX that a top priority
:04:40. > :04:42.is to stop damaging leaks from within the White House -
:04:43. > :04:45.and that he will take "drastic Earlier, Scaramucci deleted his
:04:46. > :04:51.old tweets in which he shared views contradicting those of President
:04:52. > :05:05.Trump. More protests have taken place in
:05:06. > :05:08.Poland's capital Warsaw, over government plans to reform the
:05:09. > :05:12.Supreme Court. Critics say the measures would undermine the powers
:05:13. > :05:13.of the judiciary. Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets
:05:14. > :05:14.in recent weeks to oppose the bill. Israel has installed cameras
:05:15. > :05:17.at an entrance to the al-Aqsa mosque This comes amid extreme tension
:05:18. > :05:20.surrounding security Palestinian worshippers have
:05:21. > :05:23.vehemently objected to Israel's setting up of metal detectors
:05:24. > :05:25.in the area. That follows the killing
:05:26. > :05:32.there of two Israeli policemen. Hundreds of people marched
:05:33. > :05:35.on the streets of Moscow today to The rally, which was monitored
:05:36. > :05:39.by city authorities, comes amid increasing government
:05:40. > :05:43.control over online activities. Demonstrators also demanded
:05:44. > :05:45.the resignation of the head Earlier, I spoke to
:05:46. > :05:49.Roman Dobrokhotov, editor in chief of The Insider,
:05:50. > :05:51.a Moscow-based I asked him what impact
:05:52. > :05:54.the government's proposed legislation would have on websites
:05:55. > :06:14.like his own. I'm not sure for now, because all of
:06:15. > :06:19.this suppression of the Internet is continuing very quickly. I think
:06:20. > :06:22.this is the result of the latest protests of the opposition, because
:06:23. > :06:28.as we have seen, there are lots of young people who don't watch TV any
:06:29. > :06:33.more. They use mostly the Internet to get information. So, it is more
:06:34. > :06:38.and more difficult for the government to control the thoughts
:06:39. > :06:42.of its people to enforce propaganda. I think this is the main reason of
:06:43. > :06:50.the restrictions. We see more and more Internet websites like ours
:06:51. > :06:56.being closed or put under control of the government. It's actually very
:06:57. > :07:03.likely that our website also will face some problems, not because of
:07:04. > :07:07.this law, because it is more about Internet messages, but still. We see
:07:08. > :07:12.the atmosphere is changing. That is why people are protesting. I suppose
:07:13. > :07:17.the argument the Russian government would make is that the controls they
:07:18. > :07:20.have introduced are designed to tackle extremist content, to deal
:07:21. > :07:30.with terrorist threats and that they are necessary. A lot of examples of
:07:31. > :07:34.terrorism terrorists being caught, because of laws about the Internet,
:07:35. > :07:40.but we see dozens or maybe even hundreds of examples of protesters,
:07:41. > :07:46.opposition party members, who had some problems with the government.
:07:47. > :07:52.Because of these new laws. Some of them were arrested or even
:07:53. > :07:57.imprisoned. Especially in this context, as we already spoke about,
:07:58. > :08:00.when we see that the Internet is now the main challenge for the
:08:01. > :08:08.propaganda, I think it is the real reason of this restriction. My
:08:09. > :08:10.understanding is that there was new legislation passed by the lower
:08:11. > :08:14.Houses of Parliament the use of Virtual Private networks, and
:08:15. > :08:23.anonymous messaging apps like telegram. Just explain why those
:08:24. > :08:34.steps of such concern to you. That is very easy. We already have some
:08:35. > :08:38.blacklisted websites, which are like oppositional Internet newspapers.
:08:39. > :08:44.People use VPNs to reach these websites. We see more and more of
:08:45. > :08:50.this blacklisted oppositional or just Internet newspaper websites,
:08:51. > :08:59.and of course the government want to prevent people seeing this content.
:09:00. > :09:02.Seeing this text. That is why they impose these new restrictions, and
:09:03. > :09:09.of course we also can suffer from that, because if they blacklist our
:09:10. > :09:12.website, not only like Facebook and other social networks, but also VPNs
:09:13. > :09:14.will be very important to read our content.

:09:17. > :09:18.recognisable women - and we've now had a glimpse

:09:37. > :09:39.To the watching world, she was the princess whose image
:09:40. > :09:43.It was a glamorous but necessarily limited
:09:44. > :09:49.Now nearly 20 years after Diana's death in the car accident in Paris,
:09:50. > :09:52.her sons William and Harry have spoken in an ITV documentary
:09:53. > :09:58.about Diana, the mother who did so much to shape their childhood.
:09:59. > :10:01.We felt, you know, incredibly loved, Harry and I.
:10:02. > :10:08.And I'm very grateful that that love still feels there.
:10:09. > :10:11.It was that love that even if she was on the other side
:10:12. > :10:18.of the room, as a son you could feel it.
:10:19. > :10:20.The person who emerges from William and Harry's description is a woman
:10:21. > :10:26.When everybody says to me, you know, "So, she was fun,
:10:27. > :10:32.All I can hear is her laugh in my head.
:10:33. > :10:34.And that sort of crazy laugh where there was just pure
:10:35. > :10:48.One of her mottos to me was that you can be as naughty as you want,
:10:49. > :10:53.And they talk about their mother's death.

:15:06. > :15:08.Tony Hall, has said work is already happening to address the gap
:15:09. > :15:11.between the pay of men The difference in salaries became
:15:12. > :15:14.clear after the corporation published a list of broadcasters
:15:15. > :15:16.and entertainers paid more Earlier today, some of the BBC's
:15:17. > :15:21.most prominent female broadcasters wrote an open letter
:15:22. > :15:23.demanding 'immediate action'. Our media correspondent
:15:24. > :15:30.David Sillito reports. Alex Jones of The One Show,
:15:31. > :15:33.Mishal Husain and Sue Barker, more than 40 of the most famous
:15:34. > :15:39.female presenters at the BBC, calling on the corporation to act
:15:40. > :15:47.now to end its gender pay gap. Good morning, friends,
:15:48. > :15:49.thanks for tuning in... That list was the trigger
:15:50. > :15:51.for the letter today, publishing In the top 20 names
:15:52. > :15:59.was only one woman. The best paid men were being paid
:16:00. > :16:02.more than twice what the top This open letter to the papers said
:16:03. > :16:07.that this week's annual report confirmed what many have long
:16:08. > :16:11.suspected, that women were being paid less
:16:12. > :16:15.than men for the same work. On the whole, I think
:16:16. > :16:18.it is fantastic that so many wonderful women have been prepared
:16:19. > :16:22.to put their head above the parapet. We got stick, we knew
:16:23. > :16:24.we would get stick, But it isn't just about, in fact
:16:25. > :16:34.it is not about getting whacking great pay rises for women
:16:35. > :16:36.who are already well paid. It is about pay parity and getting
:16:37. > :16:38.fairness for everybody. The letter today says that the BBC
:16:39. > :16:41.has known about the pay disparity for years,
:16:42. > :16:44.we want to go on record to call When programmes such as Women's Hour
:16:45. > :16:53.went on air 60 years ago, equal pay for equal work
:16:54. > :16:57.was a pressing issue. The fact it remains an issue
:16:58. > :17:00.despite law changes in the 1960s and 70s after pressures
:17:01. > :17:02.from the women's movement is a sign of how tough
:17:03. > :17:07.it is to find quick solutions. Attitudes about age
:17:08. > :17:09.and experience and authority affect the pay divide,
:17:10. > :17:12.but it is also worth noting that in the top 20 there is not a single
:17:13. > :17:18.black or Asian presenter. It comes at a time where the BBC
:17:19. > :17:21.is facing opposition over plans to change terms and conditions
:17:22. > :17:24.for the rest of staff, who are paid The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says
:17:25. > :17:32.this taps into a wider issue This gender pay gap is appalling,
:17:33. > :17:38.we would insist on a strong gender pay audit of every organisation,
:17:39. > :17:42.and we would also look at a 20-1 ratio between the chief executive
:17:43. > :17:45.and lowest paid staff in every In response, the BBC said today
:17:46. > :17:55.the overall pay gap is 10%, less than the national average
:17:56. > :17:58.of 18% but it needed to go further The director-general said
:17:59. > :18:05.he is confident that next year's Jordan Spieth has won
:18:06. > :18:21.the Open at Royal Birkdale. He was in stunning form
:18:22. > :18:24.on the back nine of his final round to finish on 12 under,
:18:25. > :18:26.three ahead of fellow China's Li Haotong
:18:27. > :18:31.was third on six under, with Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy
:18:32. > :18:34.tied for fourth a shot further back. He started the day leading,
:18:35. > :18:42.finished it winning, Jordan Spieth's three shot lead had
:18:43. > :18:49.evaporated by the time he reached the 13th,
:18:50. > :19:00.that is his ball in the shrubbery. Miraculously he walked away
:19:01. > :19:03.with a bogey, out of the lead. Arnold Palmer once said,
:19:04. > :19:06.success depends less on strength of body and more
:19:07. > :19:08.on strength of mind. When many minds might have been
:19:09. > :19:10.melted, Spieth unscrambled His tee shot at the next
:19:11. > :19:17.hole nearly went in. After that, that never
:19:18. > :19:19.looked like missing. Birdie, eagle, two more birdies

:20:24. > :20:35.Richard Conway. This was a very closely fought Tour
:20:36. > :20:39.de France but in the end Chris Froome showed his dominance with an
:20:40. > :20:44.emphatic ride in Marseille in that time trial on Saturday. The 14 mile
:20:45. > :20:48.22 and a half kilometres, he showed he was the rider of his generation.
:20:49. > :20:56.This is his fourth Tour de France victory and it is perhaps the
:20:57. > :21:03.sweetest, given that the French rider pushed him all the way until
:21:04. > :21:07.the penultimate stage. In today's stage, the final stage, this was a
:21:08. > :21:13.ceremonial ride. A chance for Chris Froome and his team, sky, to sip
:21:14. > :21:17.champagne as they rode in to Paris. A chance to reflect on what they
:21:18. > :21:24.have achieved over the past three weeks. They can now celebrate this
:21:25. > :21:28.victory, celebrate the fact this is the fourth Tour de France title for
:21:29. > :21:32.Chris Froome, but also perhaps look at the British dominance in this
:21:33. > :21:36.race. Over the past few years, this is the fifth time in six years that
:21:37. > :21:43.teams guy have won the race, showing how they have dominated and really
:21:44. > :21:47.come to the fore of road cycling. As for Chris Froome himself, at the age
:21:48. > :21:51.of 32 or so titles now under his belt, questions are posed about
:21:52. > :21:55.where he can go from here. Any comeback next year for a fifth
:21:56. > :21:59.title, maybe even the sixth in years to come? That would put him up there
:22:00. > :22:03.among the very best riders who have ever competed in the Tour de France.
:22:04. > :22:07.That is something he wants, that is something that I think we will be
:22:08. > :22:10.talking about when he returns in July next year.
