you're watching the bbc news channel. the main news at ten past one. as we've been hearing, the iraqi army has begun an offensive to retake tal afar, the last major city in the country held by so—called islamic state. afzal ashraf from nottingham university's centre for conflict, security and terrorism said the offensive by iraqi forces would be a blow to the militant group. with hal far with halfar gone after with hal far gone after mosul gone, there will be no major city that they will control of all the small towns and villages around the euphrates river valley that they have already begun to disperse around and again, in the next few weeks, we would expect that raqqa in syria will also fall. after that, this myth of an islamic state, this

myth of a caliphate, effectively evaporates. the organisation that it follows will still be around in small pockets. they will become what they started off as which is desperate cells of terrorists conducting operations throughout the region, iraq and syria particularly, but this idea of a caliphate, which is inspiring a lot of attacks across the world, not just is inspiring a lot of attacks across the world, notjust in europe, that becomes unsustainable. i would expect that if things are managed properly, we will see this recent burst of terrorist activity in europe and across the world to begin to subside. it won't disappear, but that motivating factor that has caused many of these people to think they can change the world through this mythical caliphate, i think that will begin to go. a british man has been charged with

the situation in late at night, what happened? to be fair, we haven't had any trouble actually in the pub, but they did turn up yesterday. they we re they did turn up yesterday. they were rather rowdy. there were about 16 of them. after a few hours, that number rose to about 30. obviously, as you can imagine, when you have a massive group like that, they can be very intimidating and they were asked to leave, they tried to grab my manager across the bar. and also, they told him he had to give them some money to leave, and that was where we decided we would call the police. the police turned up and that's when we decided we would just shut the doors completely. we have been hearing that norfolk police are sending out extra officers. they are on patrol so that feeling be assured? well, we need them. i mean,

obviously with social media and text messaging, i have been told that a p pa re ntly messaging, i have been told that apparently this group were in the lowestoft a nd apparently this group were in the lowestoft and they were doing exactly the same kind of thing, so i don't really know why they weren't being watched, where they were going and why cromer wasn't kind of... we weren't told that they were on there way. i mean, yesterday to be fair, i don't think there was adequate policing. i mean, they were going round and stealing out of the shops, they were being in the street. my niece this morning has already seen someone niece this morning has already seen someonejust niece this morning has already seen someone just urinating right in the middle of town and i have already been told that they have already been told that they have already been causing trouble in the town this morning. the co-owner of the wellington pub there giving her description. the headlines on bbc news: spain's king and queen attend special mass in barcelona to honour those killed in the catalonia attacks. police say they do not know

with the last premier league champion always is massive motivation for us. i respect chelsea. about the play now and try to show that we are better than them and it's always a challenge to play with a champion and try to be better. in yesterday's premier league games, manchester united fans celebrated a 4—0 win for the second week running. romelu lukaku among the scorers against swansea. elsewhere, watford 12—0 at bournemouth, brighton lost 2—0 to leicester. in the scottish premiership, celtic‘s 2—0 win at kilmartin and take their unbeaten domestic run to an amazing 52 games. stjohnstone and aberdeen remain hot on celtic‘s yield at the top. they also have a perfectly good record with three wins out of three. rangers could only dropped it is amazing— zero with hearts. in the's creditors took 19 wickets in a day to beat west indies by a record

margin, an innings and still has nine runs in the first test at edgbaston. stuart broad took three for 34 in their second innings, as west indies crumbled to 137 all out. it means broad moves up to second in the all—time list of england's leading test wicket takers, above sir ian botham, which broad describes as a special day. he's obviously been a hero of mine, watching him bowl and play throughout my younger years, obviously playing with my dad and the influence he has had on me, his performances against australia is inspirational. so it's great to chat to him now. you can see how happy he is for me and, look, it's a special day but as i say, a wonderful team performance. a very powerful team performance but it was lovely to get that three wickets spell towards the end of the day to see us home, really. england's men have opened their eurohockey campaign with a 6—0 win over poland two goals each from mark gleghorne and sam ward alongside strikes from chris griffiths and david condon made for a comfortable victory in amsterdam.

they next play germany tomorrow afternoon, probably the pick of the games in pool b. and despite their win, england know they will need to improve. sloppy all over the place really. you know, too many wobbly passes, too many passes just out of reach, just real basics that we need to make sure we get right all the time and get where we want to in world hockey. it doesn't matter who were playing against, we got away with it today against lesser opposition, but we need to be bringing that everyday. and england's women play germany later this afternoon while scotland's game against ireland is currently 0—0. sir mo farah will run his last track race on home soil later today. he won world championship gold and silver in the 10,000

and 5,000 metres in london earlier this month, he'll race over 3,000 metres in the birmingham grand prix. but he's already looking forward to his next challenge — racing in marathons. it's about learning about the event, understanding the event and going in fresh minded and with no pressure and going in there and seeing what i can do on the road. i think it will take me a couple of times at least to get it right. go and run 2.5, straightaway. it will take a little while. that's all sport for now. it's almost three months since a bomb struck the manchester arena killing 22 people. in the days after the attack on a memorial of flowers and candles grew in manchester's sink and's square, but now thoughts are turning to a permanent memorial to remember those who died. clare fallon reports. in the days and weeks after the

bomb, this is how thousands of people chose to respond. now, almost three months on, attention is turning to a palin is memorial. three months on, attention is turning to a palin is memoriallj had turning to a palin is memorial.” had 22 shrapnel wounds. martin hibbert is one of many whose lives we re hibbert is one of many whose lives were changed forever that night. he has been told he will never walk again. to my neck, severed one of my main arteries. his injuries and the manchester beta two are his own personal reminders of what happened. but he wants a public memorial and hopes those who survived and the families of those killed will be able to be involved in the process. i think it would have to be something at the arena, whether a plaque or something to say that that act of terrorism of violence, however you want a word it, happened there. and then i think something in there. and then i think something in the city centre, again just because of how everybody in manchester team

together, the amount of people, the amount of donations to the manchester fund. you know, amount of donations to the manchesterfund. you know, ithink something just to celebrate being manchester. i get the sense that it feels important to you that you feel listened to. for sure, yeah. everyone has an opinion on this, so they will have to be sensitive on it. i don't think it can just be one thing. i think maybe a remembrance concert or something like that where the medical profession, the police, the medical profession, the police, the fire brigade, the survivors, the families of the bereaved can come and we can all kind ofjoin hands and we can all kind ofjoin hands and kind of remember. getting it right will be tough. capturing the feelings of grief and remembrance, but also pride and defiance. and while it will be difficult, and you just have to listen to martin to realise how important it is. there are days i have not wanted to get out of bed and days where i have had a cry and a wobble, i think it is coming back to friends and families and strangers and thinking, you know

what? i am and strangers and thinking, you know what? iam not letting and strangers and thinking, you know what? i am not letting myself down, iam what? i am not letting myself down, i am letting a lot of people down, so i am letting a lot of people down, so honestly, the love and the attention we have had, it has been amazing. firefighters in essex who've been battling a huge fire at a packaging warehouse have managed to bring it under control. around 100 firefighters were called to the fire at the building on festival way in basildon. the warehouse was completely engulfed by the flames and an industrial unit next door was also affected. police say they don't think there are any casualties. the clipper round the world yacht race has just got under way. the 12 teams involved will spend a year sailing the globe in a 40,000 nautical mile race, featuring 700 participants over eight stages. 0ur correspondent andy gill is at the albert dock in liverpool for us now. they're off, they have gone? i'm afraid they have gone. they have sailed up river on the mersey to go

around the boy and then out river that way together quite. about a month's journey away, the longest first leg of one of these races they have ever had. just under half of the people have never sailed on oceangoing yachts before. that is kind of the point, that people who wa nt kind of the point, that people who want a challenge can get some training and go on these boats which, of course, are skippered by professional sailors. they will then face everything the seven seas can throw at them along with the confines of living with 21 other people on a yacht or maybe most of the year, going around the world, maybe just a few legs of the journey. the can decide what they wa nt to journey. the can decide what they want to do. i have with me and former crewmember, stephen 0'connor. you were in the last race and you did thejourney you were in the last race and you did the journey after recovering from the —— retiring from the london fire brigade. why do you want to do it? after leaving the fire service, a very interesting career, i want a device that would challenge me

mentally, physically, emotionally. i could go back into employment, but i wa nted could go back into employment, but i wanted something that would really test me in those three areas. the clipper ticked all those boxes. it was something i thought i am only going to do once, but i will do the whole thing, not just going to do once, but i will do the whole thing, notjust one like but the whole round the world. it was the whole round the world. it was the single greatest adventure and year of my life, actually. to detest you? it did, physically, mentally and emotionally. getting up in the middle of the night when you are incredibly cold, tired, fatigue, going on deck at 4am until 8am in all sorts of horrible conditions where you couldn't take a life jacket off because your fingers were so jacket off because your fingers were so cold and the gloves did not work, your socks were damp, getting into and out of bed. those things would test you, because you had to get out of bed and you had to go on deck, had to do your watch and sometimes you would be doing it in the most extreme conditions when you really, physically did not want to do it. put yourself in the minds of those people who have just set off on the clipper race, what is going through

their minds? at this moment now, less tha n their minds? at this moment now, less than an hour after the race has started, the emulsion will still be incredibly high. they will have helped the love from their family and friends here at albert dock wishing them good luck and bon voyage, and now they are suddenly surrounded by their friends and the irish sea. they will be beginning to dawn that it is real now. the next piece of land may see will be south america. they may pass a couple of islands going around the tip of france, but they want generally see any land from now until that is real now. the next piece of land may see will be south america. they may pass a couple of islands going around the tip of france, but they want generally see any land from now until that massive, massive crossing to sell at america. i imagine they will be fearful, they will make sure they haven't forgotten anything, but they haven't forgotten anything, but they will also now be getting into they will also now be getting into the routine. the watchers will be set, the aberdare on deck and their standing time will be set and people will be getting familiar with each other and making sure they have the right kit ready. they need all that stuff to hand, not hidden in the

book somewhere. what is it like when you have been on the wrong part of the voyage, do finally, after weeks as you land in? what is it like?m is exhilarating. we landed in rio de janeiro and to cede the statue of christ the redeemer, an exquisite landmark in south america and thinking i had crossed the whole of the north atlantic and across the equator and now was in south america and the these guys to go even further to uruguay, that is 1000 miles further than wii sales and thatis miles further than wii sales and that is fantastic. a true test of character and the board. thank you very much. we will see you back in liverpool in july very much. we will see you back in liverpool injuly next very much. we will see you back in liverpool in july next year which very much. we will see you back in liverpool injuly next year which is when the boats will return. an extraordinary adventure. thank you very much. andy gill at the dog in liverpool. let's find out sun xiang for some today and rain for others but over the next coming days, that amateur starts to rise
