Army ousts the country's President. In Cairo's Tahrir Square, jubilation | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
from the thousands of protesters whose presence here piled so much | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
pressure on a president just one year in the job The Army went on | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
national television to say Egypt's democratically elected leader had | :00:20. | :00:30. | |
:00:30. | :00:34. | ||
failed to meet the people's demands. President Morsi has called it a full | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
military coup - raising fears of how his supporters will react. The big | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
question for Egypt now is how much violence will accompany these | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
events. The country's experiment with democracy over the last 12 | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
months has been disastrous. As troops secure key locations in | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
Cairo and elsewhere, we'll be exploring what tonight's dramatic | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
developments mean for Egypt. Also tonight: The Greater Manchester | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
hospital under fire after two highly critical reports. The chief | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
executive of Tameside has resigned. In South Africa, the remains of | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
three of Nelson Mandela's children are exhumed from the home of his | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
grandson after a court order in a bitter family dispute. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
A crackdown on so-called "health tourism" - plans for a new levy on | :01:20. | :01:29. | |
non-Europeans using the Health Service are unveiled. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
It was a tough fight, but he made it - Andy Murray is through to the | :01:33. | :01:43. | |

Good evening. There are extraordinary scenes in Egypt | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
tonight after the Army ousted the country's embattled President, | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
saying he had failed to meet the demands of the people. Mohammed | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
Morsi, an Islamist candidate, had only been in power for a year, the | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
first leader freely elected since Egypt's revolution two years ago. | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Tonight, his supporters have held a mass rally in Cairo, calling this a | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
military coup. But in Tahrir Square, many thousands of his opponents have | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
celebrated news of his downfall with fireworks. Jeremy Bowen is in Tahrir | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
Square. A remarkable night Jeremy. It is an extraordinary night here. | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
The noise level is even higher than on the previous nights. I've just | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
walked to this balcony through streets that are far too teeming | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
with people shouting, yelling, letting off fireworks to bring a car | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
down them. We had to walk the best part of a mile down here through | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
streets that crowded. The thing is this is an enormous city. More than | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
20 million people. Even though there are vast numbers of people on the | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
streets celebrating, it is a safe bet that there are people elsewhere | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
who think that what's happened has been disastrous. These people, | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood, people who believe that | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
their President was legitimately elected and who are receiving | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
messages now saying they should protest, they should stay on the | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
streets, nonviolently but they should continue to protest. But the | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
risk of violence is what makes this continuing crisis such a serious | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
business for the Egyptians. In Tahrir Square it was the moment | :03:48. | :03:58. | |
:03:58. | :03:58. | ||
they had dreamed about. In 2011 it took 18 days of protest to remove | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
President Mubarak. It has taken three days to oust President Morsi. | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Since Sunday they've been here and outside the presidential Palace in | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
huge numbers, against a leader they blame for Egypt's near economic | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
collapse and political turmoil. is the moment we've been waitling | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
for two years-and-a-half. For every single blood that's been shed in | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
this country, we've been waiting for this moment. But it is difficulty to | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
when Mubarak went. Then expectations were sky high. Now, behind all the | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
joy, there is considerable anxiety. General Abdul Al-Sisi, the head of | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
the Army and Minister of defence, went on TV to announce a move that's | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
bitterly resented by the Muslim Brotherhood. He called for calm and | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
warned that the military would confront any forces that used | :04:53. | :05:02. | |
violence. In the hours before he spoke, he men fanned out across the | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
city. The Army denies this is a coup but they are still seizing power | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
from a freely elected President, which fits most definitions of the | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
word. The General said his men would keep the peace while a man ran the | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
country, until new elections. He said they didn't want to intervene, | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
but now he is suspending President Morsi's constitution, condemned by | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
many Egyptians as too religious. main threat is falling into civil | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
war. I'm afraid of those stubborn insistent Muslim fundamentalists are | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
going to clash and fight the Army. This would be very dangerous. | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
Army struggled to separate supporters and opponents of the | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
President in the streets around Cairo University. The tension shows | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
the danger that Egypt faces. At least 18 people were killed in | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
street battles here last night. Local people, opponents of the | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
brotherhood, built barricades. And showed off blood stains where they | :06:09. | :06:18. | |
said a boy had been killed. This is Amin Street, across Egypt many other | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
local communities, supporters as well as opponents of Mr Morsi will | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
be just as nervous. Supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood said the risk | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
came not from them but their opponents. They said the | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
brotherhood, which Helmand power for one year, after working for it since | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
1928, would never give up. This is my President, my democracy, that I | :06:42. | :06:51. | |
fought about, 80 years. Now I live it and go home? No. It is my chance. | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
Waiting for a fight in which many said they were prepared to die. The | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
big question for Egypt now is how much violence will accompany these | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
events. The country's experiment with democracy over the last 12 | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
months has been disastrous. At best the Army can enforce a period of | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
calm. At worst, Egypt's long-running crisis is about to gets much more | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
serious. The celebrations in Tahrir Square | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
will go on for hours, but elsewhere in Cairo there are already reports | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
of clashes and gunfire. The Army's move against the Muslim Brotherhood | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
will reverberate across the maoephd. The -- across the Middle East. The | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
Muslim Brotherhood had looked to be the big winner the Arab uprisings. | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
Not any more. The elections that brought froz power a year ago was | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
the first democratic vote. But the increasingly Islamist tone of the | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
Morsi Government and the failure to tackle economic problems led to huge | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
protests. James Robbins looks now at what went wrong and where Morsi's | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
sudden departure leaves Egypt. The spectacular rise and fall of | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
Mohammed Morsi is hugely important. The leader of the world's largest | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
Arab population play as key role across the Middle East. But the man | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
who met world leaders as Egypt's first freely legislated President | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
divided his own people and lost the crucial support of his military. | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
the long term the Egyptian people have made their choice clear. They | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
want a democratic system. They were upset with Mohammed Morsi because | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
they felt that was not what he was bringing them, that he was going to | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
bring them another one-party system, and they rejected that. Of course, | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
the cure of the military forcing him from power may end up being worse | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
than the disease. There is no doubting the scale of the dangerous | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
divide across Egypt. These running battles in Alexandria, the country's | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
second city, are a stark reminder that President Morsi's popularity | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
had plummeted recently, partly because he put religion ahead of a | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
failing economy. We don't think that God should be involved in this | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
political dispute. We want to run our country for the sake of our | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
people, for social justice. For me their basics needs - education, | :09:19. | :09:27. | |
housing, are not a religious war between the leaders and | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
nop-believers. Mohammed Morsi is now the casualty of the Army's judgment | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
that he failed the state. The military sided with protesters who | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
accused the President of ignoring all opposition, of pushing an | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
Islamist agenda, and of neglecting essential economic reforms. It | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
leaves his Muslim Brotherhood angry and potentially dangerous, | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
infuriated that their man was given only a year, and arguing that it | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
makes a sham of democracy if the generals can veto leaders they don't | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
like. Whatever else you say about President Morsi he was lengthed in a | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
fair election, and there is a great danger that if the Army can take the | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
view that you can depose a President because of a big popular uprising, | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
in this case, why can it not happen to other presidents who are | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
democratically elected in the future. So after a year of what | :10:22. | :10:31. | |
looked like a democracy in Egypt, the victor has been forced out. | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
President Morsi's downfall will have consequences far beyond Egypt's | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
borders. Back to Cairo and our Middle East | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
editor Jeremy Bowen. You were talking in your report about the | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
risk of violence. How great is that risk, given that Mrs Morsi's | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
supporters have seen him unsear moansly removed? -- unceremoniously | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
removed? There's been violence, gunfire tonight and people killed in | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
the last 24 hours or so. The Muslim Brotherhood over the years, and it | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
is a very well organised and established organisation at street | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
level, has been conservative and it hat had a code which is respected | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
for several generations of nonviolence. Now, the question is | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
whether younger perhaps more hot-headed people might want to | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
change that. There's also a question of violence started as a result of | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
two groups of heated supporters coming together and just events | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
happening. But there is probably the risk that people are most worried | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
about is that it is not from the Muslim Brotherhood itself, but from | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
jihadist groups, who might want to do something bad to mark their | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
displeasure about what's happening, and to hit back. In the 1990s there | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
was virtually a war between jihadist groups and the must be ram | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
Government. The big fear in this country is that something like that | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
might be a risk in the immediate future. | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
Jeremy, thank you. We'll have more from Jeremy later in the programme. | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
And there's lots more on the unfolding situation in Egypt on the | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
BBC News website - bbc.co.uk/news. The chief executive of Tameside | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
Hospital in Greater Manchester has resigned, after two damning reports | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
into its care of patients. The reviews highlighted long delays and | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
overcrowding in the Accident & Emergency department. The hospital | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
was also investigated in February by the NHS watchdog, the Care Quality | :12:30. | :12:39. | |
Commission, but was given a clean bill of health. Dominic Hughes | :12:39. | :12:49. | |
:12:49. | :12:51. | ||
reports. Thameside Hospitaled is struggling, financially and | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
clinically. It is already being invested for above-average death | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
rates. Now two critical reports paint a chaotic picture of the way | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
the hospital is run and two senior executives have quit. Christine | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
Green has been Chief Executive at Tameside for 15 years. A few months | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
ago, her medical direct director stepped down. Now, she too has left, | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
amid reports of an overcrowded A&E. Staff shortages and long waits. GPs | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
say patients are worried about the problems of their local hospital | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
When patients want to see you, they are worried about the hospital. | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
Everybody wants a quality hospital. They are asking us - for God sake, | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
don't send us here, send us somewhere else. Heather Collins sees | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
what happened at Tameside first hand when she takes her elderly father | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
for treatment. The medical care is very good. The doctors and nurses, I | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
can't fault. It just seems the organisation is not very good. | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
said the management had to change That is something I support and | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
something I called for three years ago and, sadly, it is three years | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
too late. And the Prime Minister Saud the NHS had to be honest when | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
there were problems. -- the Prime Minister said. Clearly there were in | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
Stafford and there were in Morcambe Bay and we read today there are in | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
the Tameside Hospital too. That's why the reform of the CQC is so | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
important. The Care Quality Commission has faced criticism to | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
spot failures in other hospitals. Has it made similar mistakes at | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
Tameside? The Care Quality Commission inspected this hospital | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
in February this year and gave it a clean bill of health but after | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
concerns were raised by junior doctors, they inspected it again and | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
found it was failing to meet standards in Accident & Emergency. | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
That will raise questions again in how much faith we can put in the | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
inspection regime of the Care Quality Commission. The Health | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, said substandard care is completely | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
unacceptable. Meanwhile, the review of 14 hospitals, with higher than | :14:58. | :15:06. | |
average death rates, including Thameside, will report in two weeks. | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
People from outside the European Union could be charged to use the | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
NHS in a bid to tackle so-called health tourism. The Government wants | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
those with visas of six months or more to pay a health service fee of | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
around �200 per year. Doctors have described the plans as "unfair." | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
Mark Easton has been to Luton to gauge reaction. Luton is a diverse | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
town. One-third of the population is nonwhite. Most children from ethnic | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
minorities. What reaction is there to the Government's crackdown on | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
to the Government's crackdown on immigration here? At this GPs' | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
surgery, what do they make of plans to charge most non-European migrants | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
for using the NHS. Until recently reception did ask new patients for | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
proof of residency, a gas bill or something, before they saw a doctor. | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
The new proposal would require them to check immigration status, rather | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
than just an address. We did upset some people, who accused us of being | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
racist because we felt - they felt we were targeting them. So, it will | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
ruffle a few feathers and it did make some staff feel uncomfortable | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
within the surgery. At the moment, the NHS provides free care to anyone | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
who has ordinary residence here. Under the proposals, that will only | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
apply to non-EU nationals who have been granted indefinite leave to | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
remain, otherwise they will be obliged to pay �200 before they come | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
for each year on their visa. In the centre of Luton today, there | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
was broad agreement for the ideas. Nothing is for free, is it? Why | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
should someone coming from abroad - unless it is within Europe - come in | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
and get all the benefits we've had to pay for? In my country you have | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
to pay for everything. For prescription, for health care, | :16:55. | :17:05. | |
:17:05. | :17:06. | ||
everything. In Poland? ? Yes. I think every where must pay. I'm in | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
the being horrible. I think we have too many people. I think you have to | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
look after your own before you can look after others. -- I'm not being | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
horrible. The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt says there is a | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
principle here, foreigners should not be allowed to abuse our public | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
services. The problem with that simple aim, though s that it may | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
result in unintended and negative consequences. -- is that it may | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
result. Ruth came to Britain from Jamaica and employs African student | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
nurses to provide residential care services. She supports the | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
immigration crackdown but fears the health levy will stem her supply of | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
labour. With that, it'll impact hugely on health care. You won't | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
have the people to look after our elderly. If we don't get people from | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
outside, I don't know who is going to do it. Private sector landlord, | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
Richard, also worries about unintended consequences, from new | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
rules which would oblige him to check his tennants are not illegal | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
immigrants Obviously adding to the red tape being imposed on us by | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
Government. Although they've said they wanted to cut down on the | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
amount they are doing, it doesn't seem this is the way to do it, by | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
imposing something further on us. Luton reflects the balancing act | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
facing ministers. People generally support the immigration crackdown | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
but don't want bureaucracy or extra cost. | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
In South Africa, the bitter dispute within the family of Nelson Mandela, | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
over the burial place of three of his children, intensified today. | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
Police broke into a compound broke belonging to his grandson to enforce | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
a court order, orderering the remains to be exhumed. Other members | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
of the family argued the bodies were moved two years ago, against their | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
wishes. South African police on the | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
South African police on the strangest of missions. They come to | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
find and dig up the graves of three of Nelson Mandela's children. Hears | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
at the ready. The bodies were bought to this compound by Mandela's | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
grandson, Mandala, two years ago, against the wishes of the family. | :19:08. | :19:17. | |
The gates were locked today to try The gates were locked today to try | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
to keep the police out. Inside the search begins. It's alleged that | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
Mandala, seen here, moved the graves in order to ensure that his | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
grandfather is also buried with them, instead of at his home village | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
a few miles away. In court earlier today, the rest of the Mandela | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
family implied that Mandala was looking to make money from tourists. | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
They asked for a quick decision saying that Nelson Mandela's health | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
is perilous and that he is or has been on a life support machine. The | :19:46. | :19:56. | |
:19:56. | :19:56. | ||
judge ruled that the bodies should be returned to this de Villepinage | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
-- -- this village where Nelson Mandela has always said he wanted to | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
be buried alongside his children. The intentions of the Mandela family | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
have been a secret for years. Now it is coming to the surface and the | :20:09. | :20:17. | |
South African public can hard hard bear to watch. What example are they | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
set setting to the children, it is hard to watch. Not very good. | :20:23. | :20:33. | |
:20:33. | :20:34. | ||
very good for Mandela? ? No.Tonight the remains of three of the children | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
of Mandela have been removed. Scientists have declared the fist | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
ten years of this century were the hottest since records began. They | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
say the average global temperature recorded between 20012007 was 1. 47 | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
Celsius, nearly half a degree hotter than the average in the previous | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
three decades. 14.47. 56 countries set new temperature records and | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
there is evidence that some of the world's hottest places are seeing | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
new extremes. Death Valley in California, for instance, the | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
current heatwave there has seen temperatures of 53 Celsius and could | :21:11. | :21:19. | |
seen rise to a record-breaking high. David Shukman has travelled to Death | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
Valley for this assessment. Dawn in Death Valley. The air | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
baking, even as the sun rises. No part of the planet has ever recorded | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
greater heat and there is a heatwave right now, with the chance of a new | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
record. At the Death Valley weather station, a check on the latest | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
maximum temperature. 52 degrees Celsius. The worry here is about | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
life, if it gets even hotter. would be pretty tough. If systems | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
start failing. We're already having some electrical problems with our IT | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
management, in that those rooms get hot. We have to keep fans on them. | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
When we get a hot stretch like this, it is pretty tough to manage. | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
part of Death Valley is known as Furnace Creek, for good reason. It's | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
like a furnace. It holds the record for the hottest temperature on | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
Earth. That was set nearly a century ago. But United Nations' weather | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
experts are now saying more and more places around the world are | :22:21. | :22:29. | |
experiencing new ex-streams of heat. This new assessment -- extremes. | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
This shows the temperatures over decades. The most recent was the | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
hottest. Today it has been called a decade of extremes. It is not just | :22:38. | :22:46. | |
isolated. 94% of the countries experienced their warmest decade in | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
2001-2010 period. The report says heat waves like the | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
one that gripped Russia three years ago, are now killing more people. | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
But it also says flooding, such as in Pakistan in 2010, is claiming | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
fewer lives, because of better fewer lives, because of better | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
easterly morning. -- early warning. Still, scientists say the climate is | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
changing. Whatever the cause of the changes, we are living in a | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
different world. Consequently we have to take actions and develop | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
policies that will address being in this different world, than what we | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
had in place, say, 100 years ago. The notorious heat draws tourists | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
from all over the world. Globally, the rise in average temperatures has | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
stalled. But it's extremes that matter, and this place may soon | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
experience a new one. David Cameron has accused the Labour | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
Leader, Ed Miliband of being too weak to stand up to the Unite union, | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
which is at the centre of a row over the election of the parliamentary | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
candidate. At Prime Minister's Questions Todd, Mr Cameron | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
repeatedly referred to Labour's links with Unite, which is its | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
biggest donor. It began as a question of who should | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
be a Labour candidate here in the Scottish lowlands. But it's become a | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
question about who runs Labour in the country. This trade union, | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
Unite, is the biggest in Britain. It's also the biggest donor to | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
Labour, giving more than �3 million last year. And today it stands | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
accused of trying to rig the election of Labour's candidate in | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
Falkirk. An allegation, the Prime Minister said, showed that Unite had | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
taken control of Labour. I have the press release. How Unite plans to | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
change the Labour Party. I know you are paid to shout by Unite, but calm | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
down a bit. This is what it says. give millions of pounds to the | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
party. The relationship has to change. We want to firm firmly class | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
-- a firmly class-based election campaign. Tories MPs liked that, but | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
didn't like this. This is a Prime Minister who had dinners for donors | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
in Downing Street. He gave a tax cut to his Christmas card list and he | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
brought Andy Coulson into the heart of Downing Street. The idea that | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
he's lecturing us about ethics takes double standards to a whole new | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
level. Here in Falkirk, the Unite union is | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
accused of paying for some of its members to join Labour, without | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
their knowledge, to try to get a favoured candidate selected. Labour | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
says there is sufficient evidence that pruls broken and has taken | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
control of the process. -- that rules were broken. Trade unions | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
represent their workers in the work place and are important in society | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
but they can't bully to get their way in the Labour Party. They have | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
overstepped their mark. They should remember that Ed Miliband runs the | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
Labour Party, not Unite. Officials at Unite headquarters had accused | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
Labour of an extreme overreaction and insisted they acted within the | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
rules. But tonight their leader said although there were issues he | :25:56. | :26:06. | |
:26:06. | :26:06. | ||
disagreed on, he and his union support Labour. The Tories say this | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
shows that Mr Miliband is too weak to stand up to the union. He has to | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
show that he can, while keeping its money and support. That's no easy | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
task. Wimbledon was a five-set thriller for Andy Murray in the | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
quarter-final match against Fernando Verdasco. Murray lost the first two | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
sets but fought back in front of a delighted Centre Court crowd. | :26:30. | :26:36. | |
So much hope. So much optimism. So much drama. The famous hill awash | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
with Britain fans, expecting another Andy Murray win. After breezing to | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
the quarter-finals, what could the quarter-finals, what could | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
possibly go wrong? Well are pretty much everything at first. In | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
Fernando Verdasco, he faced a man with a truly clobbering forehand. | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
Murray was Maughanly clobbering the net. | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
-- was mainly. It seemed he could do nothing right, | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
Verdasco nothing wrong. In a flash, the Spaniard was two | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
sets up. Murray in meltdown. His Wimbledon dream vanishing before his | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
girlfriend's eyes. But in the nick of time, he relocated his form and | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
from the brink of defeat, the comeback was on. Boldly, and | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
sometimes brilliantly, he clawed his way back. | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
Two sets all, but now Murray had the moment. And after nearly | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
three-and-a-half hours of nerve-shredding tension, at last. | :27:36. | :27:44. | |
Rarely has relief been quite so deafening. Sir Alex Ferguson and an | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
entire nation, could breathe again. COMMENTATOR: Listen do what it means | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
to these fans. They thought Andy Murray was heading for the exit. | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
Instead he is through to the semifinals in extraordinary style. | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
There has been a lot of matches where I have been behind and managed | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
to turn them around. There have been some where I have been ahead and | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
it's gone the other way. I don't know if it is the most emotional | :28:08. | :28:14. | |
match I played in. But towards the end, an unbelievable atmosphere. | :28:14. | :28:24. | |
:28:24. | :28:29. | ||
next opponent is 6'8" '8"ian Viv. -- Yanovicz. | :28:29. | :28:34. | |
Novak Djokovic beat Kubot. Another remarkable performance. | :28:34. | :28:38. | |
P Back to our main story, the ousting of Egypt's President Morsi | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
tonight by the country's military. We can return to Jeremy Bowen who is | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
at a very noisy Tahrir Square. The Egyptian revolution was such a key | :28:46. | :28:54. | |
moment in the Arab uprisings. Where does tonight leave the Arab Spring? | :28:54. | :28:58. | |
Well one of the leaders of the opposition here says it is a chance | :28:58. | :29:02. | |
to relaunch the Egyptian revolution. Now, right around the region Arabs | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
will be looking at what is happening here. Egypt is such an important | :29:06. | :29:11. | |
country. If the power of the Muslim Brotherhood is broken long term, and | :29:11. | :29:19. | |
this is possible, then that will have a knock-on effect on all its | :29:19. | :29:23. | |
off-shoots around the region who are all big players. If, however, there | :29:23. | :29:27. | |
is prolonged violence here and if there is a big fracture between | :29:27. | :29:32. | |
secular and Islamist parties, I think that there will be even more | :29:32. | :29:35. | |
instability injected into the region. The fact is that this was | :29:35. | :29:38. | |
always going to be a very long, hard slog and once again, there are more | :29:38. | :29:44. |
