bringing the near nine—month battle for the city to an end. the iraqi military was made to fight for every street. haider al—abadi has been seen walking through mosul‘s streets, congratulating the troops alongside him. he was expected to make a speech, formally declaring victory, but that has not yet happened. a few hours ago, mr al—abadi took to twitter to deliver the news. iraqi security forces have been celebrating on the streets of mosul. it's three years since the group calling itself islamic state seized control of iraq's second largest city. it still holds territory to the west and south of mosul. these images from the old city show the scale of the destruction. earlier there were reports of continuing clashes, the so—called islamic state group still holds territory to the west and south of mosul. our correspondentjonathan beale reports from the front line. what was once a beautiful old city is now mostly rubble. every building deeply scarred, or destroyed by months of war. we joined the search and rescue teams looking for survivors, but more often they're just recovering bodies. with the heat, there's also the strong smell of decay. this man is hoping against hope that his brother and his family are still alive. their house was hit in an air strike just a few weeks ago. it was being used by islamic state fighters. he says he spoke to his brother on this phone, while he was trapped somewhere under the rubble. and then he stopped answering. all they find here is decaying corpses. it's a similar story everywhere they go. while that was happening, the iraqi prime minister was en route to mosul to declare the liberation of the city. he arrived draped with an iraqi flag and surrounded by troops, who spent the last nine months trying to wrestle the city from is control in the toughest of battles. even this morning, there was still the sound of gunfire. the children so used it they don't even flinch. this territoryjust up there still under is control, just a small parcel of land. families are making their way through any way they can, to safety. and as you can see, they are pretty desperate. it's hard to celebrate freedom from is when you've just been fighting to survive. these families said they had little food or water. they have left behind loved ones under rubble. many will carry the scars of this battle for the rest of their lives. these children have been prisoners of is for much of their short lives. now, after three years, iraq's prime minister has declared their city liberated. but for these families, it's come at a huge price. jonathan beale, bbc news, mosul. over 900,000 people have been displaced from mosul since 2014. many of them depend on the help provided by local and international aid organisations. melany markham from the norwegian refugee council told me how dire the humanitarian situation is. the city has been under siege for months. years, in some areas. the report is that we are getting are of almost total devastation. in western mosul. 90% of the population have returned to east mosul, it is quite a different story there. in west mosul, entire buildings have been flattened, and for us, going back in there and providing humanitarian assistance, it is incredibly difficult. not only are the small pockets of violence which continue to exist but there are unexploded mines and bombs which we have two navigate in helping those who are still there. what are the biggest challenges? you described a situation which is more complicated than just situation which is more complicated thanjust providing situation which is more complicated than just providing aid? there are a number of camps to provide support, there is one home to 50,000 people. when people are in a camp like that, sometimes it is easier to provide them with aid, as they stay in one place but most of they stay in one place but most of the people who fled recently are in eastern mosul. they are dispersed throughout the city and their needs are very different. we have been distributing cash, we've been tracking in water. we are trying to prepare schools there. but, when they are dispersed throughout the city in this way, this can be very difficult to reach people with what they need. you mentioned that you we re they need. you mentioned that you were tracking in water, what has happened to the mosul water supply? —— truck in. happened to the mosul water supply? -- truck in. it had been almost com pletely -- truck in. it had been almost completely knocked out, people were relying on local wells. the water quality in those wells was not guaranteed. so we have been bringing in clean drinking water. what we are also working on is rehabilitating the water plant which will supply water to around 100,000 people. but, that has really become a matter of urgency as temperatures in iraq top 45 degrees now. so the demand for clea n 45 degrees now. so the demand for clean water, especially for people to quench their thirst, is going up and we are racing against time and the threat of disease, which will increase as temperatures rise. and those people who have left their homes, how much do they want to return? given the news that we have heard that mosul has been recaptured by the iraqi army, is there a sense of hope that they can do this? there is incredible resilience of iraq is to try and return to their homes and rebuild, that is why we have seen in eastern mosul already but you cannot go back to a pile of rubble, you cannot go back to a place that has no water. where you cannot earn a living because the city has been flattened. so, it is really difficult to work with people who have lost everything. and, to have almost lost hope as well. a huge anti—government protest, said to be the biggest in years, has been taking place in the turkish city of istanbul. demonstrators voiced their anger at president erdogan, after a year which has seen thousands of arrests and mass sackings of civil servants, judges and journalists in the wake of a failed coup attempt. mark lowen reports. it's hard to speak out in turkey now. but not today. an unprecedented act of defiance against president erdogan, hundreds of thousands streaming into istanbul and the word adalet, justice. some, walking the 280 miles from ankara. if you belong to the government or state, you're treated well. but if you are thinking differently, asking for some benefit, some rights, then you are treated as terrorists. recep tayyip erdogan is a very tough leader. he doesn't like us, he doesn't like modern people. it began when an opposition mp was jailed, but grew fast. tens of thousands, marching in the heat, headed by the sprightly 68—year—old opposition leader. they are fighting repression — 50,000 people arrested since last year's failed coup. 140,000 sacked or suspended. he arrived to cheers of "rights, law, justice", and he vowed to fight what he called a dictatorship. translation: we will rise up against injustice, oppression and persecution. i want peace and fraternity. i call on all of us to live together. let's not fight any more. let our differences be our richness. this has shaken president erdogan, who slammed the march for "supporting terrorism". he has huge support in half the country, but the spirit of resistance has been awoken. the more secular, liberal side of turkey has found its voice with this movement. anti—erdogan feeling and demand for the rule of law, uniting a fragmented opposition. the question now is whether they can sustain this momentum and challenge the erdogan government at the next election in 2019. thejustice march has drawn support here and abroad, including from jeremy corbyn. but channelling this energy into a credible political movement will be a far tougher task. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news... 0pposition demonstrators across venezuela have taken part in marches to mark 100 days since the current wave of protests against the government of nicolas maduro began. the protests come a day after the release of one of the country's main opposition leaders, leopoldo lopez. he was moved to house arrest after spending more than three years in a militaryjail. officials in the canadian province of british columbia say they may have to call in the military to help fight forest fires which have forced more

has taken to twitter, saying he's discussed forming a cyber security unit with russia. but his plans to work more constructively with president putin have faced backlash from fellow republicans. he posted that he and mr putin had discussed forming an impenetrable cyber security unit, so that election hacking amongst other negative things, will be prevented. david willis is in washington with the latest. ina in a tweet, donald trump said that he and vladimir putin had discussed forming what he called a cyber security unit. to prevent such things as election hacking. now, russia is of course widely thought to have attempted to influence the outcome of the presidential election here last year, hence the suggestion ofa here last year, hence the suggestion of a cyber security unit, and an agreement to form it with russia, has been met with criticism here, even by members of donald trump's own party. two hours and 15 minutes of meetings, rex tillerson and donald trump are ready to forgive and forget when it comes to cyber attacks on the american election 2016, nobody is saying mr president that the russians changed the outcome, you won fair and square, but they did try and attack our election system, they were successful in many ways, and the more you do this, the more people are suspicious about you and russia. now vladimir putin denied during his meeting with donald trump on the sidelines of the g20 having anything to do with attempts to meddle in the outcome of the us presidential election, and the russians say that donald trump accepted that assertion, but nonetheless, the president's willingness to draw a line under the whole affair and move on has raised eyebrows here in the united states, not least because of the myriad of enquiries that are still under way into the whole affair, and the feeling on the part of many lawmakers here that russia is simply not to be trusted. david willis in washington. stay with us on bbc world news, still to

stories... iraq's prime minister says mosul has been liberated from the islamic state group, bringing an end to almost nine months of fighting in the city. kamran bokhari is an expert on counter—extremism. i asked him what he made of the iraqi declaration of victory in mosul: the iraqi government has to do this. it has been at it for about eight or nine months. it is expected that the iraqi government will play this up, and indeed, it's a major achievement. but, we arejust beginning to roll back isis. it does not mean the end of isis, this is the easy part, relatively speaking. the harder part comes next, which is to be able to hold the city and undo the conditions which allowed isis to grow. what do you rate the prospects of that happening as?” grow. what do you rate the prospects of that happening as? i am not holding my breath, i'm not very optimistic because we have a very polarised ethnic and sectarian reality on the ground. the kurds are encroaching on what the sunnis see as their territory from the north. we have a shi'ite force in control of mosul, which is a sunni city, this does not bode well for future security and stability. a partial ceasefire has come into effect in south—west syria. the deal is the result of weeks of talks between the united states, russia and jordan. the ceasefire is believed to cover the regions of deraa, quneitra and sweida. so far this fresh attempt for peace has held, despite several ceasefires in the past crumbling since the start of the six year conflict. our correspondent sophie long is in beirut. well, so far, this truce does appear to be holding. there have been no reports of any air strikes or clashes in the areas concerned since the deal took effect at midday local time. but there are plenty of reasons to be sceptical. there have been several ceasefires announced in the past, none of which upheld. the deal was brokered by the united states, russia and jordan, and announced at the end of the g20 summit on friday. the us secretary of state, rex tillerson, said this was the first indication the united states and russia can work together in syria. the timing of the deal is also significant. it comes on the even of fresh peace talks that are due to start in geneva. expectations for what will be the seventh round of un sponsored talks are low, but it is hoped that if the ceasefire holds, it will at least create a conducive atmosphere as those talks get underway. the us secretary of state has made a brief visit to ukraine. rex tillerson is the first senior member of the trump administration to visit ukraine, which feels vulnerable to any improvement in relations between the us and russia. speaking alongside ukrainian president petro poroshenko, mr tillerson said russia must take the first steps to de—escalate the conflict in the east of the country. i've been very clear in my discussions with russian leadership on more than one occasion, that it is necessary for russia to take the first steps to de—escalate the situation in the east part of ukraine, in particular by respecting the ceasefire by pulling back the heavy weapons and allowing the osce observers to carry out their responsibilities. this is necessary for us to make any movement in particular. the parents of charlie gard — the 11—month old british baby with a fatal genetic disorder — handed a

together its story. lying at a depth of around 100 feet, and among the many artefacts they discovered, the telegraph, a main anchor, cutlery lying half buried in the sand around the wreckage. as part of the commemorations, vanguard's white ensign was recently replaced by divers. a century on, honouring the many lives lost in what was a catastrophic accident. dog ownership is very popular in
