and welcome to bbc news. fears are growing for the tens of thousands of civilians trapped in iraq's second city of mosul as government forces try to recapture it from so—called islamic state. 50,000 people have fled the west of the city over the last fortnight alone. after five months of fighting and heavy casualties, iraqi forces control the east of the city, which is divided by the river tigris. now they're pushing deeper into the extremists‘ stronghold in the west of mosul where civilians are hemmed in by the street—to—street fighting. 0ur correspondent 0rla guerin and cameraman nico hameon have just sent this report from the latest areas to be taken back from is control. escaping the battleground and the terrors of the caliphate. fleeing western mosul on foot

during a lull in the battle. countless numbers are likely to follow, their life reduced to a few bundles. streets, now liberated, but deserted, many didn't leave until the fight came right to their door, like abdul razsack. at 76, forced to leave home for the first time in his life. he told us a mortar landed nearby, just moments before. his ten—year—old grandson, and name sake, clutching his school bag though his only lessons here were in war. "i'd like to go back to school right this minute", he said.

so—called islamic state stopped him going years ago. now back in iraqi hands, for what it's worth, several more neighbourhoods. troops remain watchful. the militants are about a mile away. explosion. they were driven from here just four days ago. this is the engineering department of mosul university. 0n the is curriculum here, only fanatism and death. well, this was a place of learning, it was a source of pride for the people of mosul, and you can see what's become of it. it was also a key strategic location for the so—called islamic state, it gave them high ground to dominate the area. it was heavily defended by uzbec fighters and this is just one of the areas that's going to have to be rebuilt when the battle for mosul is finally over. some uzbec militants

are still lying where they fell, no decent burial for those who terrorised a city. nearby, a suicide belt they didn't manage to use. at dusk, iraqi forces gather for the next advance. armoured vehicles give some protection against car bombs, but they won't fit in the narrow streets of the old city. troops move undercover of darkness and this time on foot. hunting the extremists, who once controlled almost a third of iraq. some of the hardest fighting may be ahead, going house to house and street to street beneath a sky lit only by embers of battle. in the pitch darkness few signs of life, but hundreds of thousands of civilians remain here,

running low on food and water. shagri abdullah and herfamily are sheltering in an abandoned house because theirs was destroyed. three of her loved ones are in hospital, victims of a mortar attack. she shows us how they hid when is fighters stormed in to use them as human shields. "0ne went to the roof", she says, "and he started to shoot. he attacked the army and we escaped from this store. he attacked the army and we escaped from this door. later we found another is still hiding here and they came and shot him in the head." shagri's neighbourhood has been reclaimed from the militants, but her life is changed utterly. "we got our freedom", she says,

"but it cost us a lot. i lost my house and my children were injured." her beloved mosul will never recover, she believes, not even in 30 years. what future for a broken city in a fractured nation even after the extremists are pushed out? there are fears that when iraqis finish fighting is, they may begin fighting each other. 0rla guerin, bbc news, mosul. dorset and wiltshire fire and rescue have confirmed they are currently dealing with an incident at guys marsh prison in shaftesbury. 18 fire crews from across dorset and wiltshire, and neighbouring devon and somerset are at the category c prison, which can house up to 578 offenders.

a drug addict who crashed a car into a family during a police chase in south london has been sentenced to 12 years in prison. last augustjoshua dobby lost control of a stolen car killing 34—year—old rosie cooper and her 10—year—old nephew, makayah mcdermott, and seriously injuring two other children. it emerged in courtjoshua dobby has 53 previous convictions dating back to when he was 13. tom symonds has more. it was a summer's day, the family on their way to the park for ice cream when this car came skidding off the road, hitting a bollard and lifting it into the air and down on top of three children and their aunt. the aftermath was horrific. little kids screaming, like. there were like 20 guys around this one car, they all lifting the car up and moved the car so everyone could come out. rozanne cooper and makayah mcdermott stood no chance. he loved sport and acting.

she was the mainstay of her family, the court was told. joshua dobby tried to run. the court heard a statement from yahla mcdermott, who'd been trapped under the car. dobby stepped over her in his rush to escape. "this stupid, ugly man", she said, "has shattered my life and crushed my confidence." she's 13 and her legs are badly scarred. her family was disappointed with the 12—year sentence. we came here today to see justice done, and in the hope that joshua dobby would show remorse and sorrow for killing our beautiful rosie and our wonderful makayah. but he has shown none. they were taken from us with still many years of their lives to live. five days before, kent police had chased dobby at up to 80 miles per hour on open roads, but it was so risky officers stopped the pursuit. that didn't happen in built—up

london, though he was driving at high speed, the wrong way down one—way streets. the independent police complaints commission is now investigating. but the judge said dobby, whose drug addicted life was as out of control as the car, deliberately drove dangerously, hoping the police would give up. it's rare for drivers who kill to be charged with manslaughter, with its maximum life sentence. dobby‘s sentence, 12 years, was reduced because he pleaded guilty. the family of his victims aren't happy, and thatjust shows how complex this area can be forjudges who have to decide the penalties when drivers kill on the roads. tom symonds, bbc news, at the old bailey. the education secretary, justine greening has been heckled by head teachers at their conference in birmingham, as she defended the government's plans for more grammar schools. her claim the policy would help disadvantaged children was jeered by some delegates. head teachers also warned that budget cuts were forcing schools in england to scrap gcse

and a level courses, as our education correspondent gillian hargreaves reports. give me an example of a receptor. peter woodman of the weald school might be a headteacher, but he still likes to work at the chalk face, teaching science, partly because he enjoys it, and partly because it saves money for his school. he's one of scores of teachers who wrote to parents, warning of the impacts of cuts. i started with a school of 11100 students with 95 teachers. next year in september i will have 1700 students and 95 teachers. i've been cutting for eight years as it is. we are at a cliff edge. a poll of more than 1,000 union members found 72% said they had to remove gcse options or vocational subjects from the syllabus, while 79% said they had reduced their a—level or vocational offering, and 82% say that class sizes have had to increase. heads here are warning that

creative subjects like music are under threat. headteachers are generally a professional bunch, but they did jeer the education secretary when she said there are plans for more grammar schools, at a time when headteachers say there is not enough cash for existing schools. such is the sensitivity around the issue, we were prevented from filming the speech. but it was caught on a mobile phone. we have an paper said cause and we are expected to continue delivering. they are having to make cuts to our curriculum. the education secretary turned down a request for an interview. the government said £40 billion has been spent on schools, the highest cash over and class sizes are the lowest for a decade by

teachers maintain rising tensions and other issues mean the money is not enough. a little bit more detail regard lee is the fire at guys marsh prison in a dorset, according to reports, it is a serious fire a p pa re ntly reports, it is a serious fire apparently begun when a a prisoner got onto the roof, set fire to something and it spread. 0ne got onto the roof, set fire to something and it spread. one report says 60 prisoners have had to be evacuated and are kept in the gymnasium. this is guys marsh prison in chak street, dorset. it can hold nearly 600 prisoners. 0ur correspondent is looking at it and we will keep you up—to—date with it. the former apprentice contestant and newspaper columnist katie hopkins has had to pay thousands of pounds in damages

after libelling a food blogger in a series of tweets. ms hopkins suggested that jack monroe approved of vandalising war memorials, when there was no evidence of it. after the verdict, ms monroe's lawyer said people need to understand that being defamatory on social media is permanent and you can be sued. david sillito reports. jack monroe is a food blogger and campaigner. throughout all of these tasks, i hope i have never trodden on anyone to get to where i've got. oh, you have, you have. oh, i hope i haven't. yes, you have. katie hopkins made her name as an outspoken contestant on the show the apprentice. and she's turned that outspokenness into a career as a columnist with the mail and the sun. this on refugees provoked outrage. and they met on twitter. this tweet in may 2015 from katie hopkins to jack monroe asked her about scrawling on and vandalising a war memorial. katie hopkins had sent the message to the wrong person. jack monroe asked for an apology and a £5,000 donation to charity. it didn't come.

today, jack monroe walked from court, having won her 21—month libel battle. it really struck a nerve and i knew there was going to be a tidal wave coming of hate and abuse and vitriol, and i was right. if it's a simple mistake, people apologise. i've made mistakes on twitter and put my hands up and i say, "i'm sorry, i was out of order, i hope we can move on". if she had done that two years ago we wouldn't be here today. jack monroe says she is relieved rather than pleased. for katie hopkins? two tweets on an evening in may two years ago have proved very expensive. £24,000 in damages and an extra £107,000 for katie hopkins in court costs. it's not the first time a tweet has led to legal action, but it certainly points out the risks. generally, people are unaware, i think, that they are exposed to libel laws if they do tweet. but this case and others will help make that clearer to people, that when they do post online they are subject to the law

like everybody else. a lesson then notjust for katie hopkins but anyone on social media. 0nline comments can be very costly. david sillito, bbc news.
