The Turkish Military says it has this is bbc news. Captured the sister of abu bakr the headlines al baghdadi, leader of the Extremist Group the so called Islamic State, who died in an american raid turkey says its captured the sister in syria a week ago. Turkish Officials Say of the former Islamic State group they are interrogating her along leader abu bakr al baghdadi, with her husband and who died during an american daughter in law, detained with her. Raid last month. With more, here is michael pregent, the arrests being called former intelligence officer, an intelligence gold mine. Now a senior fellow indias top court has announced with the hudson institute. A series of measures intended to address the toxic smog there are not a lot of details, which is causing a Public Health emergency in delhi. It ordered Regional State but what is important governments to prevent power cuts until further notice, to limit the use of diesel generators. Is where she was captured, delhi authorities have responded in the town of azaz. By launching a car rationing system. And this is a smuggling route the us impeachment inquiry has moved into the next phase, for isis women since isis took the town in september of 2013. Releasing public transcripts from key interviews held so there was known intelligence, behind closed doors. A former Us Ambassador said she felt known information, that there were isis families in that area, threatened by a remark President Trump made and it was also under the control about her on a call. A federal court has also ruled of Turkish Forces that the president s tax returns can it is now under the control be turned over to prosecutors. Of Turkish Forces. It shows that this is a place that isis has been very comfortable with since 2013. And itll be interesting to find out what the turkish officials can glean from the captured documents with her, also the interrogations of her and herfamily members. Shes the 65 year old sister of abu bakr al baghdadi. She would know wed be able to ask her how how long has it been since you how often did you see baghdadi, how long has it been since youve seen him . And hopefully we can get american intelligence agents in to ask questions. I dont think shed be privy to any imminent attack plans, but she might know smuggling routes, people that baghdadi trusted, networks in iraq that helped herfacilitate her own travel and her familys travel. So this should be able to give Us Intelligence and other allied Intelligence Officers a view into the isis networks and how they moved family members, how they travelled, and who they trusted. But im not sure shes going to be able to tell us whether or not theres an imminent attack that was planned, but we should still ask the questions. Millions of people in the indian capital are still being urged to stay indoors because of toxic smog, and state governments have been accused of failing to take action to tackle delhis air pollution. Judges in the Supreme Court said authorities seemed interested only in gimmicks, rather than concrete measures. Here is our south asia correspondent rajini vaidyanathan. So our pollution meter has a reading of around 300 right now. Now, that is way lower than it was in the last 2a hours or so, but it is still staggeringly high, way above what is considered safe according to the world health organization. Now, as delhi continues to be in a state of Public Health emergency, the government here is trying to mitigate some of the high levels of pollution. It introduced on monday what is known as its odd even scheme. Now, that means that cars with an even licence plate can only drive on even dates, and the same for odd licence plates on odd days. The aim of that is to reduce the number of private vehicles on the roads, and therefore the emissions. Now, it isntjust vehicle emissions that contribute to these extraordinary levels of pollution. It is also unchecked pollution from industries and factories, but also crucially right now, farmers in nearby states burning crop stubble, which is contributing to those overall emissions. Just to put this all into context, i was talking to a doctor earlier today who said that every breath you take in delhi amounts to breathing in poison. Democratic members of the us congress have moved their impeachment inquiry into the next phase, releasing to the public transcripts from interviews held behind closed doors. The transcripts show former diplomats believed President Trumps personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani was in effect running a shadow Foreign Policy on ukraine. The former Us Ambassador to ukraine told the inquiry she had been advised to tweet remarks praising the president , to save herjob. We can now speak to casey michel, who is a political analyst and expert on post soviet russia and us relations. Welcome, russia and us relations. Thank you for your time. Some welcome, thank you for your time. Some of this, of course, has already been leaked. Even though the testimonies were actually given behind closed doors. What is new and what is most striking to you . Thats correct. Some of these revelations we had already seen coming out prior, both because of the open testimony we had seen earlier, as well as some of the on background conversations we had seen stuff however, the testimony in the transcript today confirmed many of those revelations and added even further, damning details, most especially as it pertains to the way in which ambassador marie yovanovitch, who was the former ambassadorfrom yovanovitch, who was the former ambassador from the us to yovanovitch, who was the former ambassadorfrom the us to kiev, was ousted as part of this shadow Foreign Policy campaign led by the president s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, as well as a number of others, all it appeared with the blessing of President Trump himself. They were striking testimony, shocking details, and on the whole it was quite a sad spectacle to see how this foreign ambassador was treated by the white house, and especially by the secretary of state himself. Yes, some of this does not reflect very well on mike pompeo. No, it doesnt. One of the things we learn today that was most striking was the amount of times, the sheer number of times, that both ambassador marie yovanovitch, as well as michael mckinley, who was at the time the special adviser to secretary pompeo, who has since resigned his position, went to secretary pompeo to ask him to back up secretary pompeo to ask him to back up the ambassador herself, something as simple as saying would you issue as simple as saying would you issue a statement in support of the embattled ambassador who been suffering from smears, from slings and from demeaning comments from Rudy Giuliani from folks like Sean Hennessey on fox news, even from donald trump junior himself. Hennessey on fox news, even from donald trumpjunior himself. But it appears according to the testimony that mike pompeo declined time and again to issue any statement hannity. Primarily, it seems, out of concern that he would not only upset the president , but that any statement would be potentially undercut by the president s tweeting. And yet you will have heard this argument. I have people in my timeline seeing you in the media should get off your high horse about this. You call it a shadow Foreign Policy. Every administration, in fact, functions with an eye to the next election. They want to stay in power. Well, thats an interesting tactic in terms of and an interesting take in terms of and an interesting take in terms of and an interesting take in terms of what prior president s have done. In fact, terms of what prior president s have done. Infact, no prioramerican president has ever pressured a Foreign Government to investigate a political rival. No less than what President Trump has already done against former Vice President biden in ukraine. We have never seen anything like this, we have never seen anything like this. Already, ambassador yovanovitch has been a casualty of this shadow Foreign Policy campaign that has been headed up policy campaign that has been headed up by policy campaign that has been headed up by Rudy Giuliani, who again is not somebody who has been vetted by the american government, is not somebody who has had any necessary background checks or ethics checks. We still dont know who is paying for him for his travels. This is something that is absolutely unprecedented in american history. Thank you very much. Lets get some of the days other news the Trump Administration has formally notified the United Nations that it intends to withdraw the us from the paris Climate Change agreement. It is the first formal step in a process that will take a year to effect. The Paris Agreement commits nearly 200 nations to reducing greenhouse emissions. It was signed by barack obama four years ago. Chinas president has said he has a high degree of trust in hong kongs leader. The two have been meeting in shanghai. There were reports that beijing planned to replace carrie lam after months of Anti Government protests. In a statement on chinas state news agency, xinhua, president xi xinping said ending violence and restoring order is still the most important task. In australia they call it the race that stops a nation, but much of the attention on this years melbourne cup will be for all the wrong reasons. The annual horse race, due to start in an hours time, is mired in an animal abuse scandal. Dr bidda jones, acting head of rspca australia, said recent revelations had left the nation in shock. Ive been speaking to dr bidda jones, acting head of rspca australia. So australians are reeling from an expose that came out a couple of weeks ago that showed appalling treatment of ex racehorses at an abattoir in queensland. It was exposed on an Abc Programme here. And just the amount of outrage thats come from the australian public, that horses that are worth, you know, so much money to their owners, in an industry where they talk about treating horses like kings, could end up as horsemeat, and that could end up at an abattoir that had such appalling practices, is just yeah, its really left a sour taste in the mouth of many people who would normally be celebrating today at the melbourne cup. I guess this may not be such a surprise to people who know much about the horseracing world. Do you think it will have much impact . It should have an impact. I think many of us whove worked in Animal Welfare have known for a long time that there are potentially thousands of horses exiting racing that might end up in an abattoir. I think what shocked us the most was that the standards at that particular abattoir were so bad. They are being investigated, but it is something the industry really has to acknowledge that theyve got responsibility, when were talking about a multibillion dollar industry here. Theyve got a responsibility to ensure the welfare of horses once theyve left racing, as well as while theyre in the racing industry. And the fact that it is centred on the melbourne cup might be significant, mightnt it . I think it is certainly australias biggest race. It is certainly the richest two mile handicap in the world, isnt it . It is, so there are 26 runners in the race today. Unfortunately, the cup itself has been mired in tragedy in the last few years too. Weve had, out of the past six years, five horses associated with the carnival itself have had to be killed either on the track or after running. Its really an industry thats got to face up now to the fact that Animal Welfare is clearly something australians care about, and the racing industry has got to do a lot better.

The latest headline turkey says it has captured the sister of abu bakr al baghdadi, the former Islamic State group leader, who died during an american raid last month. A Major Investigation in canada has found high levels of lead in drinking water. Hundreds of journalists and University Researchers spent a year studying 12,000 samples from cities across the country. They found that a third of those samples exceeded the National Safety guidelines. Patti sonntag is director and founder of the institute of investigativejournalism at Concordia University in montreal. She led the investigation. I know you lead the investigation. Just give us a sense here of how big this is. Well, its important to note that those samples, the 12,000 samples, were taken in older homes that were likely to have led service lines. So it was not representative of every home in canada. It was representative of older homes. That said, there are large populations affected. In montreal, the Public Health authority has assumed that 300,000 people may be exposed to lead levels over five ppb, 300,000 people may be exposed to lead levels overfive ppb, which is the maximum acceptable level recommended here. And i guess outside canada we tend to think of the country as a place that cares more than most about the environment. Was this a surprise, and what do you think can be done about it . It was a very big surprise. It was very obvious to all of us that canada is. Was lagging very much in this area in terms of open information. So its not really well known worldwide, but canada has very. Has been lagging in areas of providing residents and citizens with access to open government and open data. So if the canadian provincial and municipal governments we re provincial and municipal governments were more open about the levels that residents were experiencing, it seems quite likely, and resident experts recommended, that residents would be better able to take action and protect their health. Just briefly, patty, iguess and protect their health. Just briefly, patty, i guess a lot of people will be thinking about flint, michigan. How does what you find compare . In some cities it was. Levels were higher in canadian cities. Montreal, regina, saskatoon, moose jaw, and surprisingly a small town in British Columbia called Prince Rupert, had in some samples, in some ways, levels that were higher than in flint at the height of the crisis. However, Prince Rupert was on the border land there. Imean, it rupert was on the border land there. I mean, it is a different case. But certainly in the other cities, levels were sustained and elevated. Thank you for speaking to us. You are welcome, thanks for having me. British mps have elected a new speaker of the house of commons to replace the high profile former holder of the post, john bercow. The new speaker is sir Lindsay Hoyle hes been Deputy Speaker for nearly ten years. Hes regarded as a safe pair of hands and likely to be less controversial than his charismatic predecessor. After being dragged to the speakers chair, supposedly unwillingly, as tradition dictates, sir lindsay promised to be neutral and transparent and said the house of commons would change for the better. Parliament is going to be dissolved this week ahead of a general election on december 12th. All Political Parties have stepped up their campaigns on social media in recent days. Political advertising on platforms such as facebook has been the source of great controversy in the past few years, with concerns about personal data falling into the wrong hands. But as our media editor amol rajan reports, that hasnt stopped campaigners looking to Digital Channels as a powerful tool to reach voters. Election campaigns are ultimately a branch of the marketing industry. In the 21st century, that means theyve shifted online. This weekend saw a significant escalation of political ads in our facebook and other social media feeds, but tactics varied across the parties. Conservatives focused on brexit and targeted marginal constituencies such as colne valley with the message thatjust a few hundred votes could be decisive. Labour looked to policy beyond brexit, with an nhs add that linked to a guardian article. The lib dems tweaked their
