their lives are still on hold. we meet this couple at the door to the cramped two—room cabin, they have agreed to take us back to qaraqosh to see why it is so hard to return. the area was liberated in october, isis have gone. but it is a ghost town. nazi's father is almost the only person here, this is where the whole family once lived, 30 people. when they came back last year, they found a burned—out, looted wreck. translation: if no one cares about us, or replaces what we lost, how can i come back? it's a disaster. six months after liberation, there is no water or electricity and no plans to repair the damage. as the battle rages on in nearby mosul, the people of qaraqosh feel ignored and vulnerable. translation: we are christians,

the original people of this place. we want our own christian province on the nineveh plain, to run our own affairs by ourselves, to guarantee the future for ourselves and our children. they were married in the church of saint mary, one of the biggest in the middle east, defaced and burned by is fighters. in the courtyard, signs of target practice. and from the roof, a lifeless panorama. this really does bring it home. up here on the roof of the church, you look around in every direction, there is no sign of movement. no one hanging out the washing, no one walking in the street. before isis arrived, there were at least 50,000 people in qaraqosh, now there is almost no one. 0n the edge of town,

a small unit of mostly christian troops guards the entrance to qaraqosh but people remember how quickly isis swept in before, could it happen again? wisam runs the only cafe in town. translation: it's up to the iraqi government whether is comes back or not. it's all about security. we hope they will not come back. but if the security forces withdraw, there is a chance is will return, maybe even stronger than before. qaraqosh is an overgrown, haunted place. the christians who lived here have scattered. some are living abroad, it is hard to see them coming back any time soon. paul adams, bbc news, northern iraq. japan has

sent its largest naval ship to escort a us military vehicle through japanese waters. the deployment of the helicopter carrier is the first such operation forjapan since it passed controversial laws two years ago expanding the role of its military. it is seen by some as a decisive shift away from decades of pacifism. this departure is hugely symbolic. this departure is hugely symbolic. this navy supply ship will be escorted and will respond with force if it comes under attack. for the japanese military, this is a big step away from pacifism. just across the sea of japan, step away from pacifism. just across the sea ofjapan, satellite step away from pacifism. just across the sea of japan, satellite photos show north korea is preparing for

another underground nuclear test. speaking on sunday, donald trump again warned pyongyang not to go ahead. i would not be happy if he does a nuclear test. i will not be happy. does a nuclear test. i will not be happy- i does a nuclear test. i will not be happy. i can tell you also that the president of china, he is a very respected man, will be happy. president of china, he is a very respected man, will be happym john young is worried, it is not showing it. today it vowed to go ahead with the nuclear test at any time and at a location. this comes two days after north korea test fired another of its growing family of ballistic missiles. the fifth test this year. meanwhile, the uss carl vinson carrier battle group has arrived in waters of the korean peninsulas. the huge ship and its escorts are a very potent symbol of american military might. but what are they here to do? president trump is not giving many clues. are they here to do? president trump is not giving many clueslj are they here to do? president trump is not giving many clues. i don't wa nt is not giving many clues. i don't

want people to know what my thinking is. eventually he will have a better delivery system and if that happens, we cannot allow it. the first time the us president has acknowledged the us president has acknowledged the terrible consequences that could result from a military strike. massive warfare with millions of people being killed, that, as we would say, trumps trade. tensions are now higher than at any time since the north korean dictator, kim jong un, came to power in 2011. despite the heated rhetoric, neither side wants conflict but when tensions are high, some of the dangers of miscalculation. the testing of primary school children, is affecting their learning and mental health according to an influential group of mps. the cross—party education select committee says the way sats results are used to judge schools, causes a negative impact on teachers and pupils. here's our education correspondent, marc ashdown. joining me via webcam isjo garton,

a former head teacher of bridlewood primary school in swindon. she resigned last year in part over new assessment methods for 11—year—olds. she was also chair of the swindon primary heads group, which represents nearly 80 schools in the area. thank you forjoining us. tell us more about what your concerns were to the extent that you resigned. more about what your concerns were to the extent that you resignedlj felt to the extent that you resigned.” felt the testing was detrimental to the children's progress. it was not assessing them in educational terms. it had become training, especially with the 11—year—olds. especially the grammarand with the 11—year—olds. especially the grammar and spelling which had a disproportionate weighting compare to what it used to have. as a head teacher, is it not in your controller to decide how a school treats the tests and how the pupils are guided as they headed towards

them? to an extent it is, but last year it was a mess of chaos and confusion and the guidance on the test was dripping out from the department for education very close to when the children were doing protests, especially the tests for seven—year—olds. there were also lea ks, seven—year—olds. there were also leaks, so we expected seven—year—olds to do a compulsory grammarand seven—year—olds to do a compulsory grammar and spelling test and they didn't because it was leaked of the week before. the 11—year—old grammar and spelling test was also leaked. it was complete chaos. the truth of the matter is, as the head teacher, you arejudged on the matter is, as the head teacher, you are judged on that data. what 0fsted co m es you are judged on that data. what 0fsted comes to you, and i have no problem that we have a mechanism judging schools, it looks at your data above all else. if you do not focus on those tests then, essentially, the football manager

syndrome means head teachers are out, which is clearly an issue. also, it narrows the curriculum, because you have the focus on that english and maths to the exclusion of all else and that is a problem for children because we need children for the future, for the 21st century, who have a broad understanding of the world, notjust of semicolon is and the past progressive tense. give us examples of how and why it narrows the curriculum? how was it working in your school? i don't think my scoop was any different to other schools. the test for seven—year—olds, they have announced recently that are thinking of taking it out and i am pleased to hear that. we always, in my scoop, did tests first it is not that i am objecting to testing per se, it is that these tests are ill

thought out. they narrowed the curriculum. we used to have tests on science, they have been dropped. now it is just science, they have been dropped. now it isjust english science, they have been dropped. now it is just english and maths. the mode of grammar you have to get through takes away the creativity of writing, the rating criteria was very much on grammar and spelling and not at all on creativity. i have got to english degrees, i am a grammar nazi. i blanch at some grammar nazi. i blanch at some grammar mistakes, but that is too much. you think children are just too young to take that on board, is that it? it is not bad, but ifi give you an example, david cameron was asked last year about one test question from the grammar and spelling test and he couldn't do it. eton and oxford could and did, but every 11—year—old was expected to do it. i gave those tests that the

children took to secondary teachers and they really struggled. nobody needs that level of knowledge. of course spelling is important, of course. sorry important, but does every child need to note the past progressive test at 11? 0f every child need to note the past progressive test at 11? of course they do not. thank you forjoining us. the headlines on bbc news: three teenage women are arrested on suspicion of terror offences in raids linked to a police operation in north london on thursday in which a woman was shot and injured. a committee of mps says the failure of some of the biggest social media companies to remove illegal online content is a disgrace . the government says it doesn't recognise an account of theresa may's dinner with the european commission president, as portrayed by the german media. cornelia parker is the first woman

to ta ke cornelia parker is the first woman to take on the role of official sculptor for the election. shall observe the campaign and produce a piece in response. the politics in my art is quite under the radar and not so overt, but increasingly i find it harder and harder to not be more political, because we live in a very interesting moment in history. you are always making work in response to what is happening around you. i have just response to what is happening around you. i havejust been in america last year. i was working on a piece for the met museum, for the roof, with the backdrop of the american election which can simply and consumed everybody else.” election which can simply and consumed everybody else. i think we can see a picture of it. it is the bates motel, is that right?m can see a picture of it. it is the bates motel, is that right? it is based on the house by the railroad,

recreated the set, which is only two flats propped up from behind, so in america they like doing the hustings in front of red barns because it symbolises how some america. both sides of it. the cycle house obviously has the opposite connotations, it is like good and evil merged. the cycle barn was sitting on top of the met so people could live and said. in terms of your thinking now on this election, what you knew last week, but you now have two really properly engage and produce a piece of sculpture to reflect this election. it can be in any form and

i work election. it can be in any form and iwork in election. it can be in any form and i work in all kinds of ways. i have just opened a show which was more about the american election, which isa about the american election, which is a video piece. i don't know. what i think is a video piece. i don't know. what ithinki is a video piece. i don't know. what i think i will do, as i always do, is absorbed myself in the material and ideas will emerge. we have had lots of ideas, but i will but those away because being on the trail, i am sure others will up. can you give us am sure others will up. can you give us examples of the sort of thing you are thinking of? i take lots of photographs, but since i have known about being the election artist, everything at take photographs of you can read in a political way if you can read in a political way if you put the red caption decided. i think i am just going to correct my prism of looking and see it as a metaphorfor what is prism of looking and see it as a metaphor for what is going prism of looking and see it as a metaphorfor what is going on. it is quite overwhelming what is going on. especially what is happening in

france. before our election we have the french election and that might have a profound impact on ours. it is not just have a profound impact on ours. it is notjust what is happening in britain, it is happening globally. are you bound to be apolitical in what you produce? not party political. by its very nature it would be political, but i am not allowed to make a piece about the labour party. it has to be looking at the whole thing. how are you observing? is it watching the television or argue out and about? they have just announced me, so this is my official starting point, so i should be out on the trail. i found myself watching andrew marr and robert heston and found myself videoing the tv and slung it down. the idea of having an artist to engage with an election is a way of almost reaching out to a different audience and engaging people in a

different way. what do you think about the level of engagement with voters in politics? i think 16—year—olds, i have a 15—year—old, she wants to vote and i think we should lower the age and engage a whole new generation, because i think ourfuture, what whole new generation, because i think our future, what is whole new generation, because i think ourfuture, what is happening now will affect their future. i am aware from a teenage point of view what this means. when will we see the piece of work you produce?m mid—september. it will be shown at portcullis house. it will become pa rt portcullis house. it will become part of the parliament collection. if you're eating out, and you're so full you just can't fit it all in. would you ever ask for a doggy bag? a lot of us wouldn't. a survey suggests two fifths of people are reluctant to ask for our leftovers. this is contributing to millions of tonnes of food waste each year.

now restaurants in scotland are taking part in a scheme to get people to take their unfinished meals home. holly hamilton has been to find out more. when it comes to dining out, we're spoilt for choice. and in an all—you—can—eat, super—sized era, portion sizes are getting bigger too. and yet even if we can't manage to finish everything on our plate, most of us are quite reluctant to ask for it to be boxed up and taken home with us, in other words a doggy bag. adam, do you mind if i get the rest to go? i'll be right back. thanks very much. in fact, one survey found that while 75% of people said they'd like a doggy bag, 42% said they'd be too embarrassed to ask for one. makes you feel a bit conscious of the fact that you might be looked upon differently if you ask for the food. if they give you too big a helping and you can't finish it you've paid for it, so you got a choice of taking it home and having it for your tea the next day... 0r feeding it to your dog. that's sensible as far as i'm concerned. i have on numerous occasions

and i don't have any problem about doing it. it's so much waste, i have a small appetite, i enjoy good food but i would like to take it home with me. i never ask for a doggy bag because look at my plate, it's always empty and i can't! in scotland it could soon be the norm with plans to introduce doggy bags to all restaurants as part of a plan to cut food waste. excuse me, sir, would you like that wrapped in a doggy bag? yeah, that would be great. thank you. well, a lot of restaurants offer doggy bags already, which is fantastic. what good to go does is that extra bit of promotion, so you're actively offering a doggy bag. we did a pilot and pleased to say it was really positive and something that restaurants told us they wanted, and customers too said they wanted. and this is the problem. across the uk food waste costs the restaurant sector more than £600 million a year, with eateries producing nearly 200,000 tonnes. more than a third of that waste comes straight from the customers' plates.

but it doesn't have to be this way. campaigners here say if restaurants routinely offered doggy bags it would save the equivalent of 800,000 meals going in the bin every year. i do think that it's our responsibility to make sure people are aware of the fact it's ok to take food home, it's ok to reheat it and it is fit for purpose. we're talking about a world that has a food crisis in it and we're wasting food. so people taking food home, we're just giving them that opportunity and actually intervening rather than waiting for them to ask i think makes a huge difference. doggy bags are common practice in the us and even in france restaurants are now legally obliged now to provide one if requested by diners. but here in the uk, old habits die hard. as a nation we don't like to make a fuss, but with ambitious targets to cut food waste by 20% within the next ten years, maybe it's time to start thinking inside the box. holly hamilton, bbc news, glasgow. three large eggs were found

in a sawdust bucket next to a compost toilet at a forest school near winchester. at first, they weren't quite sure what type of bird it was until they saw this fly from the outdoor loo. the school set up a camera and caught the father owl feeding the mother while she sat on the eggs and then two baby owls hatched. they are now a month old and doing well. the pair have been called twit and twoo. now, a potential ‘cat—astrophe' averted after a cat falls into the water at london docks. after scrapping with another cat, felix fell into the water. luckily for him, he must have had some of his nine lives remaining as dock worker scott derben came to his rescue. the engineering and operations manager at the london dockyards hung off the side of the dock, pulling the cat to safety. afterwards though, no ‘purrsonal‘

relationship was struck up, as both went their separate ways. time for a look at the weather with ben rich. good afternoon. i can follow that with something is exciting because the weather is of this over the next few days. however, there are some showers, not for all of. some enjoying beautiful views views like this. further south, some of the cloud is looking decidedly ominous and if one of these terms of where could well be in for a shower. you can see the current of cloud on sa ivet can see the current of cloud on saivet picture. in the centre is where we will see hefty showers this afternoon in central and southern pa rt afternoon in central and southern part of image. further north, for some there will be good spells of sunshine. for the end of the afternoon, this is five o'clock

through cornwall into the channel islands, some old breaks of rain. the channel islands in particular will be windy. in central and southern england, the bumblebee light. if you shower turns up, it could be with you for quite some time. heavy rain and thunder but through much of wales, england and northern ireland, not too many showers. temperatures getting to 20 degrees across western scotland. further east more in the wake of cultivating its way in and it was in chilly. through this evening and overnight and will be called for eastern scotland, north—east england, some misty and murky conditions. most of the showers were feared to leave dry weather and clear spells and work you have clear is that guys will be a chilly night. into tomorrow, this is the weather setup we will have for much of the week ahead. i pressure to the north, no pressure to the south and east and that brings us an easterly wind feeding more cloud in across eastern areas. some showers to the

south—east and along the east coast, temperatures will struggle. elsewhere, especially the further west, more sunshine and temperatures up west, more sunshine and temperatures up into the high teens. the reason for the chilly feet in eastern areas, this easterly wind is flown over what is a pretty cold north sea. if you are exposed to the easterly wind, it was the chilly. if you might have called for eastern parts of england. not much culture eastern scotland and further west more in the wake of sunshine. it is more in the wake of sunshine. it is more of the same for the end of the week. a quiet week. i pressure to the north, still this easterly wind. it will be mostly dry. not much rain for the gardens which could do with that. eastern areas on the true side. further west we will see more in the wake of warm weather. that is it for now. more weather to the afternoon or whatever you want it if you log on to our website. this is bbc news.

the headlines at two. downing street is disputing claims in the german media of a fractious dinner last week with european commission president, jean claude juncker, and theresa may. three teenage women are arrested on suspicion of terror offences in raids linked to a police operation in north london on thursday in which a woman was shot and injured. leading social media firms are "shamefully far" from tackling illegal and dangerous online content, according to a report by mps. these social media companies have been asked repeatedly to sort this out and repeatedly they have failed to do so. so i think it is time that the government should be putting new systems in place which involve fines. dorset police say they're looking for "at least two" suspects, after guy hedger was shot dead at his home during a suspected burglary.
