[02:59.84]At least 12 people are reported to have been killed and ten injured in a bomb attack in northern Iraq.
[03:05.82]Reports from the town of Tuz Khurmato, north of the capital Baghdad, say that the bomb exploded in a largely Kurdish part of the ethnically mixed town.
[03:14.30]The police chief in the town said the explosion was preceded by a loud bang, which he believed was designed to attract a crowd.
[03:20.97]A senior British intelligence advisor has said in a court statement that 58,000 secret documents seized under anti-terrorism laws
[03:29.95] from a Brazilian man at a London airport earlier this month would harm British national security if disclosed.
[03:36.25]The Brazilian, David Miranda, is the partner of the journalist who helped fugitive contractor Edward Snowden leak American and British intelligence documents.
[03:45.08]Jane Peel was in court.
[03:46.83]A witness statement said Mr Miranda’s computer hard-drive contained 58,000 highly classified UK intelligence documents.
[03:55.99]The statement said the material included personal information that could identify intelligence officers overseas and it was possible it was already in the hands of foreign states.
[04:08.01]David Miranda’s solicitor described the government’s assessment as sweeping and vague and claimed the assertions were unfounded.
[04:16.09]Demonstrations organised by national unions in Brazil have left millions of people without public transport in several cities across the country.
