Good evening. Gunmen in Afghanistan Good evening. Gunmen in Afghanistan | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
have launched a sustained eight-hour attack on the British Council in | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
Kabul, killing at least 12 people. The assault came on the anniversary | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
of Afghanistan's independence from Britain in 1919. The Taliban said it | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
was a signal that invading forces are doomed to destruction. | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
The attackers set off a car bomb and fought a gun battle with police | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
security guards. Stunned staff took shelter in a panic room while the | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
assault was uppedway. The Prime Minister, David Cameron, condemned | :02:28. | :02:37. | |
the attack as vicious and cowardly. rocket-propelled grenades, the | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
Taliban came armed for a long fight. SIREN. | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
This was they wouldn't survive. Most of the | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
six attackers wore suicide vests. Using a car bomb, they blew a | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
in a wall and swarmed into the compound. But Gurkhas and Afghan | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
security guards kept the at bay. We heard more than three | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
explosions, strongly believing that two of them were suicide bombers. | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
They had blown themselves up but one of them is still hiding in | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
the areas in the building. It was New Zealand Special Forces and | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
Afghan commandos that finally the fight, killing all | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
insurgents. The assault came in the west of the | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
city, near the intercontinental Hotel. Dozens were killed there in | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
June. When it began, staff, including two female teachers, | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
headed to an underground safe room. There they stayed, terrified, as the | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
gun battle raged around them. The siege of the British Council lasted | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
eight hours. As the clear-up at the site began, | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
it emerged that the all-male attackers had disguised | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
in burqas, allowing them to evade checkpoints. The British | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
staff who were in the compound, who essentially were in the safe | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
for most of the day and we were in contact with them, have been | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
extracted safely. They are now in the Embassy, obviously shaken, but | :04:08. | :04:18. | |

example of soft power. The saw it as a soft target. This is a | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
particularly vicious and cowardly attack, but it's an attack that | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
This was an attack against British This was an attack against British | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
interests but it was also an attack against the Afghan government. | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
British and American troops are preparing to leave here. | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
Increasingly, the Afghans will have to take care of security on their | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
own. In the future, when they face attacks from the Taliban, they will | :04:51. | :04:57. | |

country. Tonight the city remains on high alert and in fear that there | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
may be more attacks to come. We can speak to Quentin who is in | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Kabul now. What questions does this raise about the security situation | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
there, with British Forces preparing to leave? Well, the question it | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
raises is who replaces those British Forces and American forces? The | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
answer according to NATO is Afghan security forces. They are clearly | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
not ready yet but NATO Generals tell us they still have a few years | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
before their troops leave and hopefully the Afghans will be ready | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
by then. The pressure that NATO is putting on the Taliban, pushing them | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
back in Kandahar and Helmand, NATO hopes that will force the Taliban to | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
the negotiating table, to seek a political settlement. So far though, | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
the Taliban haven't shown any indication that they want anything | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
other than a violent settlement this conflict. Thanks very much. | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
The prison population in England and The prison population in England and | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
Wales has reached a record high following last week's riots. Tonight | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
there are fewer than 1200 places left and the Prison Service says | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
it's drawing up contingency plans to deal with what it calls an | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
unprecedented situation. Our home affairs correspondent has | :06:15. | :06:21. | |

pair of looted shorts. So today she was freed on appeal. But | :06:33. | :06:39. | |

stealing doughnuts, to the pair sentenced to four years after | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
inciting a riot on Facebook. In general, the government wants | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
criminals rehabilitated, not incarcerated, but today it released | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
new figures showing 1375 people have now appeared in court, in | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
with the riots. and the result: the prison | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
population of England and Wales has reached a record high. Over 86,000. | :07:06. | :07:12. | |

We need a certain margin of spaces We need a certain margin of spaces | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
just to enable the Prison Service to work. Indeed that sort of slack in | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
the system to make things work. If we start eating into that, it | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
becomes more and more difficult for governors to manage the situation. | :07:26. | :07:31. | |

for unused space in the prisons it has, opening early a refurbished | :07:53. | :07:58. | |

campaigners continue to argue severe sentencing is to blame, a | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
they predict the courts will yet have to rectify. The court system | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
is already struggling the weight of cases, and in fact in a rush to | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
out hasty and perhaps overly punitive sentences we see these | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
cases rebounding back into the system on appeal, then we are | :08:24. | :08:30. | |

Gaddafi's forces from Zawiya began. High on adrenaline, the rebels | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
celebrate as if each shot is taking them a step closer to Tripoli. Up to | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
now, the rebels have been small arms, mortars | :09:29. | :09:34. | |

green flags show just how close we are to Gaddafi's positions. Even up | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
here, the threat from sniper fire is constant. Just as it is for the | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
fighters down on the streets below. REPORTER: What's the situation | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
there in the square? The situation is very dangerous for us because you | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
can't move free. There's many shooting, in the square, and the | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
Gunners are on the high roofs. Gaddafi's forces continued to return | :10:32. | :10:38. | |

to a field hospital near the front line. By mid-afternoon, the death | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
toll was more than 30. The rebels blamed their light weapons for their | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
heavy losses. But they vowed fight on, determined to | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
towards Tripoli. TRANSLATION: We will chase Gaddafi from one hole to | :11:19. | :11:24. | |

It has been another nerve-wracking It has been another nerve-wracking | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
day on world markets, prices plunging first thing and then | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
recovering some of the lost ground. The mood remains fragile. Nerves are | :16:21. | :16:26. | |

take flight. Markets have highly volatile. There hasn't always | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
been a lot of logic in what has been going on, but there is one | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
thread in recent days, and that is mounting concern amongst many | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
investors that the world's leading industrialised nations are heading | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
for another recession. So have the UK's leading shares fallen? | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
It looks like they've gone down lot but they are still well above | :17:08. | :17:11. | |

Experts say things aren't as bad now Experts say things aren't as bad now | :17:14. | :17:19. | |

toward that precipice again and absolutely we must not go there and | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
the question is: are the policy makers in charge now capable of | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
preventing that from happening and it's not clear to me that they are. | :17:30. | :17:33. | |

the end of the year world growth is going to be rather stronger than we | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
currently think and growth in advanced economies, including the | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
UK, will be picking up from are seeing at the moment. Some | :17:51. | :17:54. | |

machine. Put in get this. It's another sign of these | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
uncertain times. Shares may bounce back, but further falls next week | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
could see the London market clock up one of its worst months since the | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
As America struggles to control its As America struggles to control its | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
debt, no country is watching more closely than China. The Chinese | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
major investors in the economy and the single largest | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
holder of US Treasury debt. Today the US Vice-President Joe Biden, | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
is visiting the country, said Chinese had nothing to worry about, | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
but as we report there are fears that China may not be immune if | :18:42. | :18:51. | |
Like the giant ships that throng its Like the giant ships that throng its | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
ports, China seems to be steaming ever onwards, churning out its | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
exports. Selling to the world has swelled China's economy into | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
but also left it vulnerable to what happens overseas. So with Europe and | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
America mired in crisis, is China really unstoppable? This is the | :19:07. | :19:17. | |
workshop. We are being shown what was just wheat fields a decade ago. | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
Today 10% of the world's solar panels are made here. Governments in | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
the west have been subsidising switch to renewable energy. Now | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
sales are slipping but it is said to be well-placed to survive any new | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
downturn. Since the last crisis in 2008 we have | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
improving our products, becoming more efficient and improving our | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
service for our customers in Europe and America. This is how China | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
responded to that last crisis. Massive building programmes, new | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
railways and roads, spending billions | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
billions to keep the economy almost 10% a year, so now Chinese | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
economists feel confident enough lecture those in the West. They have | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
to wake up to the reality that today's world economy is | :20:05. | :20:14. | |
from what it was 20 years ago. Today you are facing newcomers in China | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
and Brazil so that your system has to be reformed. You | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
cannot simply rely upon your past experience, past success. | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
All across China, vast new cities All across China, vast new cities | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
are being built with stimulus money. This is a new town, complete with | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
opera house, art museum, 60-storey hotel. Space for 1.5 million people | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
but only 300,000 have moved in, so the traffic lights aren't even on | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
yet. The money spent on every new building like this adds just a | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
little bit more to China's GDP, so the economy is booming, but these | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
are also debts that must one day paid off, and if they can't be | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
filled and made profitable well then some fear China is storing up | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
The worst Chinese provinces may be The worst Chinese provinces may be | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
as indebted as Greece. Instead of relying on exports and building | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
booms, China needs to develop its domestic consumer economy. If it | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
can't, the Chinese miracle may turn out to be a mirage many | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
turn out to be a mirage turn out to be a mirage. | :21:24. | :21:26. | |

dying father in a Sussex hospital has been sent to prison for | :21:49. | :21:57. | |
a half years. Lewes Crown Court heard that Joseph Peachy, 49, was | :21:57. | :22:00. | |

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been in Birmingham today | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
thank those who helped restore following last week's riots. | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
William and Kate met emergency workers and local residents at a | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
community centre in Winson Green, close to where three men were killed | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
Meeting, greeting and thanking those Meeting, greeting and thanking those | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
who had been on the front line during Birmingham's nights of | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
rioting. They were happy to pose for family | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
snapshots with some of those affected and told many of the guests | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
how strongly they had felt about coming here. The Duke and Duchess | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
had begun by meeting the families of the three men who | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
died when they were hit by nearby. Haroon | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
and Abdul Musavir were yesterday. | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
came here to listen, to hear the stories of the bereaved families and | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
to learn more about the wider impact on Birmingham's local communities. | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
Some of those they left behind there's much more to be done to stop | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
further trouble. We, as on the ground, will have to harass - | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
and I use the term "harass" - central government and the local | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
authority to make sure they keep a lid on this. This footage is a | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
reminder of how bad it got. The owner of this shop dubbed it a | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
tsunami of looting. This afternoon, Ajay Bhatia got the chance to tell | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
his tale directly to William Kate. After having six or seven | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
sleepless nights, there's to cheer about today. I feel so | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
happy and delighted that they have chosen my shop and come here. A | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
sentiment echoed by those outside. I think the fact that they take time | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
out to come here show that is they actually do give a damn and it | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
should be appreciated. It was appreciated by those waving off the | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
royal couple. Their tour seen most people here as a welcome sign | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
Sport now and in cricket it was Sport now and in cricket it was | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
another dominant day for England on the second day of the | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
against India. Batsmen Kevin Pietersen and Ian Bell both hit | :24:16. | :24:23. | |
centuries. By the close England had reached 457-3. From the Oval here | :24:23. | :24:30. | |
Joe Wilson. Absurd as it may seem, India had a | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
brilliant morning at the Oval. Two wickets fell by midday. They only | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
had to wait 6.75 hours one. | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
Kevin Pietersen really started to enjoy himself. Ian Bell is more | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
classical in technique, a conventional nudge towards the | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
boundary and Sachin Tendulkar was in pursuit. Straightforward? Nothing is | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
anymore for India. The great with the very humble fumble. No one | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
really wants to see this, but course everyone wants to enjoy | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
England's vintage summer, a reshuffle in the stands for | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
Prime Minister who hoped no one would begrudge | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
the cricket. He arrived in Ian Bell's fifth century of the | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
year. The fans have rarely had it so good. Kevin Pietersen weighed in | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
with his 100 right after tea. India are currently expert at making | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
game look impossible. Next ball, Pietersen should have gone. | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
has dropped it! If it's painful to play like this, it's almost worse | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
watch and what could display England's dominance | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
classic Pietersen to take the total past 400? In passing, it should be | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
mentioned Pietersen was out for 175. Indian morale had been | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
