In iraq alone this weekend, at least 157 people were killed in baghdads deadliest bombing since 2003. More than 24 hours after the attack, makeshift teams were still pulling bodies out of charred buildings. It was one of baghdads bloodiest days in over a decade. Officials say they expect the death toll to climb. It left residents visibly shaken. translated may god punish those who were responsible for such a bombing. So many people are still under the debris. translated this street is one of the most beautiful streets in baghdad. Its like the champselysees in france. We were smelling flowers from a distance out of this street, now we are smelling dead bodies. Yang the Islamic State quickly claimed responsibility for the suicide truck bombing in a largely shiite neighborhood. Many of the victims were young, gathering to break the days fast, part of the islamic holy month of ramadan. Sundays bombing capped a week of isislinked attacks spanning the globe. Last tuesday, three suicide bombers stormed turkeys ataturk airport in istanbul, killing at least 45 people. Turkish officials blamed isis, although there was no direct claim of responsibility. Most were foreigners, one was american. translated two people opened fire in the air. Then i shouted and ran to a safe area. They closed the gate chanting allahu akbar and opened fire. Yang isis claimed responsibility for that attack as well. All this comes as isis has lost significant territory in places that were once its strongholds, iraq and syria. Last week, iraqi forces fully liberated the city of fallujah, which isis had controlled since 2014. Iraqi officials attribute the uptick in suicide bombings to isis losses on the battlefield. Yang well have more on the threat of the Islamic State right after the news summary. In saudi arabia, suicide bombings rocked three different cities. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. The attacks struck just before the end of ramadan. They detonated near the prophet Muhammads Mosque in medina, one of islams holiest sites, as well as a shiite mosque in qatif, and outside the u. S. Consulate in jeddah. Besides the bombers, two four Security Officers in medina were the only reported deaths. The leader of the united kingdoms rightwing, Anti European Union party, said today hes resigning. Nigel farage, the head of the u. K. Independence party, is the latest politician to step aside, after the country voted to leave the e. U. Today in london, the 52yearold said he never wanted to be a career politician, and pledged support for the partys next leader. My aim for being in politics was to get britain out of the european union. That is what we voted for in that referendum two weeks ago. And that is why i now feel ive done my bit, that i couldnt possibly achieve more than we managed to get in that referendum, and so i feel its right that i should now stand aside. Yang farage now joins conservative Party Prime MinisterDavid Cameron who plans to step down by fall, and let a successor deal with the process of britains exit from the e. U. More than 180 people have died in flooding across central and southern china. Torrential rains from summer monsoons triggered a landslide, washed away railroad lines, and shut down roads. The downpour is expected to continue until wednesday. 33 million residents have been affected by the deluge. Back in this country, it was a fourth of july marked by festive parades, fireworks, and increased security. Under gloomy skies in the nations capital, police were on guard as visitors made their way through checkpoints near the national mall. And in philadelphia, people watched a starstudded reading of the declaration of independence, before that citys parade got underway. And, some big news out of the National Basketball association today. Superstar kevin durant announced hes joining the golden state warriors. The move will bring even more talent to a team that won a record 73 games last season. The former m. V. P. And seventime allstar is reportedly expected to sign a twoyear, 54. 3 million contract. Still to come on the newshour how isis is inspiring attacks around the world. More Campaign Controversies for both Hillary Clinton and donald trump. Could medical marijuana help n. F. L. Players ease their pain . And much more. Yang we take a closer look at the increase in attacks by isis around the globe with two reporters who have covered the insurgency very closely. Joby warrick covers National Security for the washington post. His book black flags the rise of isis won this years Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction. And Rukmini Callimachi is a correspondent with the New York Times and joins us in paris. Welcome to you both. Rukmini id like to start with you. The spasm of violence weve seen over the last two weeks, three attacks, three countries. What do you make of this, are they sending a message, is this a coincident, were they planning it this way . Judge. Like all groups considered ramadan a sacred time for doing jihad. Before the month ever ramadan which began roughly three weeks ago, the spokesman issued a call for violence. The way i see this is these attacks and the heightening during this period, is a response to this call. Yang jobbie joby, how do y get these done . Are they inspired by i. S. I. S . Like rukmini said, it is the issue of call to do something during ram dan. Dont wait for orders, dont wait for instructions. If you have an opportunity to do something, do it. You see loan wolf attacks, not very coordinated but very effective. Yang and rukmini, are these attacks, you said they sent the word out that they wanted this to happen. But just that the opportunities came up in this cluster . If you are an adherent to this group you know the rhythm and you know that ramadan is a period when these attacks almost like a prayer are supposed to be viewed more holy than at other times of the year. And so i think its reasonable to expect that the attacks we have seen have been in the planning stages for some time and that they use ramadan as the time to hit. And adding to it joby said, we had omar mateen in florida and someone here in france who stabbed to death a policeman in the name of i. S. I. S. And attacks they carried out themselves, like baghdad, yesterday, and then bangladesh, which are being carried out basically by their territories abroad. Bangladesh has been one of their territories that they have spent a lot of time hiepg ahyping in their plirvetion and the attack in the cafe was the 19th attack in bangladesh claimed by i. S. I. S. In less than nine months. Is there a danger joby that there is going to be an attack, turkey has never taken a lot of against i. S. I. S. Now its obviously a full scale war so you have to see what theyll do different from what they will be doing. Shares resourced to using their attacks against the sal fate but since there is blowback there will be a price exacted for doing these attacks against i. S. I. S. The whole world is rallying in a way that is unprecedented against the organization. Yang and rukmini, a lot has been made by the fact that these attacks were carried out by groups rather than individuals, coordination amongst the people, is this new taking this to the next stage . Not really. You have to look back to the november 13th attack which was carried out by ten i. S. I. S. Attackers, nine from syria to carry out the killings. And then other locals they joined up there. Turkey were still in the far group, we dont exactly know how these people enter turkey, do they come from syria, do they come from somewhere else . But the indication they were most likely sent by i. S. I. S. Central. And then bangladesh you have a growing network that i think has gone unnoticed because until a couple of days ago they havent had a catastrophic attack like now. But if you are watching their propaganda, bangladesh was a place very much in their cross hairs, they have been amping up their rhetoric there. Yang and joby this comes as they have been losing ground in iraq, in syria. They just lost fallujah this past week. Is this in any sense i. S. I. S. Saying it doesnt matter, theyre going to project their source outside that territory in a way . It is interesting that the weaker they get in their caliphate, their home territory, the more they seem the lash out. Whether this is really them to still be relevant, or moving the a new phase, yet to be seen. Although they are losing personnel in the caliphate, they are growing if you see these inspired groups, cells, reorganized, i. S. I. S. Organizations in other places and some of those are getting big are instead of smaller so this campaign is not over by any strej. Yang joby warrick, Rukmini Callimachi, a very sobering note to end with. Yang and now, to politics monday Independence Day edition. For that, im joined now by stu rothenberg of the rothenberg and gonzalez political report and tamara keith, npr white house correspondent. Stu, tamara, welcome. This is a holiday but not from Donald Trumps tweets or controversy. He referred to Hillary Clinton as the most corrupt candidate ever, no surprise. But the words were on a sixpointed star over asea of cash. People quickly pointed it out on social media, said it was a and Hillary Clinton took it up immediately, said it was an antisemitism. Rather than a sheriffs star or a plain star. Stu. I carry sheriffs stars all the time and use them in my tweets. Good point. Look jorch, its another day of donald trump, another controversy, another instance. If we hadnt done this six, eight, ten, 20 times before, maybe you could say this was a mistake or this was misinterpreted, there are a whole series of these and this is who the man is. The campaign isnt Field Organization or tv ads. Its tweets and controversial tweets. Yang do you think he knows what the connotation is to these things or does he not notice them or i would certainly hope he is an adult, he ought to know. He is a 70yearold man who claims to be knowledgeable, knows history, of course he should know. I dont understand, the campaign doesnt explain does it . They dont tell you how this happens. Theres reporting out here from News Organization mike that this image was not generated from the campaign, but from a dark place in the internet where you have seen dark things like this. My colleagues at npr, we have discussed all weekend long, where did this image come from, how the this happen, why did you take it down . What do you have to say for this . There has been no response. If it werent a pattern, trump has been slow to disavow, to say oh gosh fire that intern and this tweet that he sent out was really justifying it rather than disavowing it. Yang and tamara, the candidate you have been following most closely secretary Hillary Clinton, meeting the tarmac and Loretta Lynch and her husband the former president bill clinton, this also blew up also. How did she handle it and do you think she handled it well . I just want to talk about one other thing, which is she had an intruch with the fbi. That should have been interview with the fbi. That should have been the news all weekend long. Because donald trump tweeted that out, some of the information was taken away from what was a very bad day. The partys presumptive nominee is iting down for a three and a half hour interview with the fbi about an issue that has been dogging her the entire campaign. This comes on the heels of the tarmac situation which both former president clinton and attorney general Loretta Lynch say they wouldnt do again. That cast a pal over the entire investigation. Donald trump could easily say its rigged, they had a chat on an airplane. And there is not going to be a good answer to that reasonable doubt that hes raising. Stu, these investigations, they earned usually they never they never will. If they end with an indictment we know about it. If they end without an indictment the fbi policy is to not say anything. This is a bad day for the form esh secretary of state, lot of news, a big news day, big news event but i think in the long term in terms of the election itself, the campaign and then the election, less of an event, for this creenl were either going to get an indictment or not going to get an indictment. If we get to the convention and we dont get an indictment, maybe well hear that the investigation has concluded and there are some reports or whatever. But in any case well go for another phase of the campaign. This is bad for her today. I agree totally. The idea of donald trump stepping on Hillary Clintons terrible news is ridiculous from a political point of view, she had a bad few days and i think this will pass. Big news event not the impact on the campaign. And Law Enforcement force he tell nprs Carrie Johnson they do not anticipate an indictment in this case. The fact that Hillary Clinton sat down for the interview, that mean it is typically at a end, when the focus sits down for an interview. President obama sitting down with the candidate who wants to replace him. Yes and he wants her to replace eplace him. They will compare in North Carolina, one that president obama won narrowly in 2008, lost narrowly in 2012. The Clinton Campaign sees it as a target state. Theyve been running ads there. Then donald trump has scheduled an event in the evening also in North Carolina. Yang counterprogramming. Does the president have coat tails that could help hillary . I think in enthusiasm, generating turnout for african american, sure. Poll numbers are up, well see if that continues. Certainly, North Carolina is absolutely an important state, it is bigger than wisconsin in terms of electoral votes. Wisconsin, North Carolina is a big deal. Stu rothenberg, tamara keith acknowledge, thank you very much. Speaking of politics, Hari Sreenivasan has a historical perfect. Campaign trail can sreenivasan candidates speeches on the campaign trail can at times get inflammatory with little regard for accuracy. Thats not new. But this election season has been marked by divisive language that some find hateful. So what is the line to be looking for . And what lessons of the past can help guide us . Joining me now to dissect the rhetoric on the campaign trail is president ial historian, Michael Beschloss and beverly gage, professor of American History at yale. Thank you both for joining us. I want to ask i fess the first question is, when free speech intersects with fear mongering, Michael Beschloss, how much is too much, how do you figure out where that line is . Well, i think one certain line when you have a president ial candidate criticizing groups within American Society, that has happened in history. You had for instance the candidate of the knownothings, 1856, millard fillmore, if you let people of irish origin and others run rampant in society, who was also anticatholic, was damaging to american. Through most modern history realize that this is a country that depends on all sorts of People Living together under one umbrella and they also realize that if you want to win, usually that happens by not alienate being groups by trying to bring them together. Sreenivasan beverly gage is it easy to find that line . I dont think its always that easy to find it but people tend to know it when they see it and the basic measure when someone is telling the factual truth, we would like to think that is sort of a baseline. People dont of coursalities adhere to that. But i agree with michael that one of the other lines that we are really talking about is vil fieg whole swaths of people creating a kind of conspiratorial language, a discourse that is about guilt by association, those could be verve Dangerous Things though theyve been around for some time. Sreenivasan here is a line that republican president ial candidate donald trump has said. This judge is of mechanism casino heritage. A total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the United States, until our countrys representative can figure out what the hell is going on sreenivasan michael you gave some good examples of how this kind of speech has happened in the past. Is there Something Different about this campaign . Is it just the times we live in, the times that change things so quickly . Youve got twitter, the internet, there are charges that can be heard very quickly. But earlier in the history, you have had things like this, strom thurmond, what was the danger, his word, to American Society of integration of the races. George wallace slightly more muted than that in 1968. They were never able to get nominated by a major party. Thats what makes Donald Trumps situation so interesting and novel. Sreenivasan beverly gage, one of the things that came up at least hi
