Tonight at Ten - Egypt has a new interim leader, a day after the

President was ousted. A show of strength by the military, but the

former President's supporters say what's happened is an affront to

democracy. As the caretaker President is sworn in, the

international community urges an early return to the ballot box.

we need to happen now in Egypt is for democracy to flourish and for a

genuine democratic transition to take place. We'll have the latest

from Cairo, where the former President is under arrest.

Also tonight: Six years after Madeleine McCann disappeared in

Portugal, the Metropolitan Police says it has new evidence and new

theories. Jon Venables, one of the killers of

James Bulger, is to be released from prison a second time.

Labour's Tom Watson resigns as the party's election co-ordinator amid

the continuing row over union influence.

And another dramatic showdown at Wimbledon sets up Germany versus

caretaker leader, a day after President Morsi was deposed by the

armed forces. Adly Mansour pledged to stay in power only until a

replacement had been elected. But there's no hint of when that might

be, and leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood, including Mr Morsi, are

in detention. Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen reports from Cairo.

They put on an airshow as the sun went down over Tahrir Square on the

first full day of military control. It was a celebration of a take-over

that went so smoothly that some Egyptians believed the generals must

have started working on the details not long after the ousted President

took office a year ago. There was another display in the morning, just

in case anyone didn't know who is in charge now, time to coincide with

the public revival of an old alliance. The security forces ringed

Cairo's Constitutional Court for the swearing in of the new interim

President. Adly Mansour was picked to be interim President by the

generals, presumably because he will be co-operative. The court was the

Muslim Brotherhood's most obstructive enemy. Last year as a

judge Mr Mansour scrapped a law that stopped former members of the must

be ram regime standing in elections. -- of the Mubarak regime standing in

elections. The Egyptian Army have if anything an even worse inheritance

than the one that made President Morsi's job so hard. Egyptians are

impatient for better lives. The top priorities are keeping the peace and

the economy. The generals and the new President need to come up with

results quickly. Political honeymoons here are short. Many

Egyptians who support democracy will not call what's happened a military

coup, even though soldiers took power from an elected President, and

they include Egypt's most internationally prominent opposition

leader, Mohamed ElBaradai. I am pretty confident they know they've

been called by the people to avert a civil war. It is a painful measure,

nobody wanted that, but Mr Morsi declared himself as a Farrow and --

as a pharoah, and then we got goo a fist fight. Isn't the whole point of

democracy that if you want to change you wait until the next election,

you don't go to the street? You have to put troops on the street if you

want to avoid what's happening in Somalia. Is 2345 a real risk here?

Of course. Across Cairo dozens of top Madeleine McCann have been

detained. Many of them have been given travel bans We acknowledge

that we have mistakes, our country was broken. You know the story of

the economy under Mubarak's regime. Everybody knows the story. Do you

think that one year is enough to repair everything? To heal all the

wounds? But among the lines of Morsi supporters guarding the area they

are still occupying near the presidential Palace, there is much

more public anger and impatience leaders here now are restraining us.

The angry people here they have a lot of energy. They are against what

happened. We are against this, we accepted the democracy. Two Egypt

exist now. One is made up of supporters of the former President,

raging and waiting. The other is centred on Tahrir Square and on all

the Egyptians who believe that their country and their revolution has

another chance. Someone needs to bridge the gap

between them or Egypt won't be able to solve its enormous problems.

David Cameron says he hopes there will be genuine change in Egypt,

with a swift return to democracy and free elections. But satisfying the

demands of all sides in a heavily polarised country seems an almost

impossible task. Our diplomatic correspondent James Robbins

considers the road ahead. There is no doubting who won the contest on

Cairo's streets, who is celebrating. The Army gave the anti-Morsi

protesters exactly what they wanted - he's gone. But the day after, as

people drift back to something like routine, how does Egypt recover from

this coup, how does it build stable democracy after the failure of the

first experiment? We never support in countries the intervention by the

military, but what now needs to happen, what we need to happen now

in Egypt, is for democracy to flourish and for a genuine

democratic transition to take place and all parties need to be involved

in that. That's what Britain and our allies will be saying to Egyptians.

The timetable is vague. The military say that a return to democracy and

free elections are the destination. For now there is an interim

administration acting as care takers and there'll be a national reckon

reconciliation committee, including young people, who have played such a

huge role in the protests. Drawing up a constitution will be the most

challenging task. Will it try to prohibit the establishment of an

Islamic state in Egypt? Will the Army now take more of a back seat?

If they do try to limit religion in politics, they risk ayenating all

those who support the Muslim Brotherhood. They are putting a

tough rhetoric, a resistance rhetoric that they will not accept

this, that President Morsi is the legitimate elected President in the

country and they will resist this kind of coup. As soldiers keep watch

on the streets, Egypt's top general is promising not to exclude any one

or any movement from Egyptian politics, but the Army's political

dominance does pose a dilemma for its principal paymaster, the United

States. President Obama says he is deeply concerned. He won't use the

word coup. That would trigger an automatic end to American funding

for Egypt's military, seen in Washington as vital to the country's

stability. Egypt is entering another dangerous period in its stumbling

search for democracy. So far it has proved impossible to unite the vast

majority of the people behind the vision they can share.

Live to Cairo and our Middle East editor. Jeremy, what can you tell us

about the latest phase, the latest intentions of the Muslim Brotherhood

in responding to what's happened? Don't forget a lot of the leadership

is now in jail or detained in different ways, including President

Morsi. Tomorrow of course, Friday, traditionally potentially a

flashpoint, after the noon prayer, but there are reports this evening

that Muslim Brotherhood or at least Morsi supporters were set upon in a

town north of Cairo and that they were badly beaten, even reports

perhaps of people being killed. It is unclear at the moment. It is an

illustration of the potential for danger, of the difficulties of

what's going on at the moment. The Army is taking a gamble. It

calculates it can contain any rage that arises because of what's

happened to the Muslim Brotherhood and to its position of leadership in

this country. But that is by no means certain. That's why so many

Egyptians, even though down here in Tahrir Square they are celebrating,

that's why so many Egyptians are worried about the immediate future

and what it might bring. Thank you. And for more detail on the interim

government in Egypt, go to the BBC Scotland Yard has started its own

investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in Portugal six

years ago. Officers say they have "genuinely new lines of inquiry" and

"new evidence" following a two-year review of the case. They have

identified 38 people of interest across Europe, including 12 from the

UK. Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, have welcomed the

development, as Richard Bilton reports. It is a grim mystery that

still holds a nation, what happened to Madeleine McCann? Since the night

she disappeared more than six years ago there've been precious few

clues. But a British police review of the evidence thinks there is a

chance to solve the case. This is an important moment for Madeleine.

Everything we are doing is focused towards trying to find Madeleine

McCann. There are no guarantees of any outcome but I can assure you of

our absolute determination to try to establish what's happened to her.

Madeleine McCann was nearly four when she vanished from a holiday

apartment in Praia da Luz in May 2007. Four months after she

disappeared her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, were named as suspects

or arguidos. That status was later dropped and Portuguese police said

they had no case to answer. The family campaigned for a British

review of the evidence. The Prime Minister David Cameron asked the

Metropolitan Police to get involved. The review has involved 37 officers

for two years. It has generated nearly 4,000 new lines of inquiry

and crucially identified 38 so-called persons of interest. The

38 individuals on the list are spread across five countries - the

UK, Portugal and three other unnamed locations. 12 of them are British.

Madeleine McCann's parents are not on the list. Nor is anyone who knew

Madeleine before she disappeared. This is an unusual and controversial

investigation prompted by the Prime Minister, costing millions already,

and funded directly by the Home Office. It is a unique case in every

sense. It was such a high profile case at the start. It has remained

high profile. It is not going to go away unless the money is spent to

investigate it properly. Today Madeleine McCann's parents said they

welcomed the shift from review to investigation, which they hoped with

be a step towards justice. The start of an investigation is a significant

development, but this involves police forces from across Europe and

there's a long way to go yet in the case of Madeleine McCann. Labour MP

Tom Watson has resigned as the party's election coordinator, over

the continuing row over union influence in the selection of a

candidate in Falkirk. Nick Robinson is with me in the studio. What is

going on? It is about much more than the fall of one member of Ed

Miliband's Shadow Cabinet or the selection of one individual to

represent Falkirk. It is, if you like, a battle for the future of the

Labour Party. Tom Watson, now gone as election coordinator, he says he

has resigned. Ed Miliband's people seem to imply he was sacked. He was

long accused by his detractors in the party of trying to reshape the

future of the party, to ensure the sorts of people that become the next

generation of MPs are people like him. Tough, working class, not

Blairite. He once complained about the arid desert of pragmatism, the

lack of belief in the Labour Party. In Falkirk, the suggestion was that

Unite signed up and paid for more than 100 people to be members of the

Labour Party just before they would have a vote on who their next

candidate would probably be. The leader of the union, after Labour

have intervened to suspend individuals, to suspend that

membership scheme, the leader, Len McCluskey, has called this a

disgrace, what is being said about his union, and a smear. People are

saying on Ed Miliband's behalf that he will not be pushed around. When

Tom Watson resigned, he said that it is time that the Labour Leader

relaxed and listened to his favourite band. One of the tracks is

called Blood sport. The other is called I Want To Break You In Half.

Not particularly helpful. Jon Venables, one of the killers of

two-year-old James Bulger, is to be freed from prison. The parole board

has confirmed that approved the release following a hearing last

month. He was sent back to prison in 2010 after admitting downloading and

distributing indecent images of children.

At the age of ten, Jon Venables became one of the two youngest

convicted murderers in British modern history. He abducted

two-year-old James Bulger from a shopping centre. He and schoolmate

Robert Thomson took the toddler away, tortured and murdered him.

Tonight, lawyers for the toddler's family reacted to the news that

Venables is to be released again. The biggest fear is that an innocent

person is going to be injured or killed as a result of what appears

to be a further experiment that has not been thought through.

November 1993, Venables and Thomson were jailed for murder. They were

both freed in 2001. In 2010, Venables returned to jail, having

been given a two year sentence for uploading and distributing images of

child sex abuse. In 2011, he was denied parole. The reasons were not

given. Now, parole has been granted, again, without explanation.

Ever since the little boy's battered body was discovered on a railway

line, the horror of his death has haunted this town. James Bulger's

mother, Denise Fergus, has said she still feels raw about the moment to

20 years ago when she came shopping here with her son and let go of his

hand. Tonight, she said she still feels that John Venables cannot be

trusted and that he remains a danger to the public. Both Thompson and

Venables are on licence. Tonight, the Ministry of Justice explained

the term, saying that the life licence last for the rest of their

lives and they may be recalled to prison at any time for breaching

licence conditions. Additionally, they will be subject to strict

controls and restrictions for as long as their risk requires them.

Venables was originally barred from returning here, to Merseyside. It is

not known when he will be released or if he will be given another new

identity. Now, the pound has fallen sharply

against the dollar after the Bank of England warned the financial markets

they were wrong to assume that interest rates were likely to rise

any time soon. The monetary policy committee took the unusual step of

issuing a statement about interest rates after it announced the cost of

borrowing would stay up 0.5%, the record low level which was set more

than four years ago. The committee was the first attended by the new

governor Mark Carney. Two Central bank bosses, one

message. Mark Carney of the Bank of England and Mario druggie of the

ECB, both come in effect, said the same thing to their audiences. --

Draggie. Mark Carney's first week in the job, the bank made an unusual

intervention after markets started assuming that the first rate rise

since record lows was getting closer. The Bank of England said

that this was wrong, that market rates should not be reflecting

tighter monetary policy, higher rates, because the Bank of

tightening monetary policy is for quite a time to come. There is

evidence that the economy is gathering momentum. Figures on car

sales show a sharp rise. And this Birmingham factory that makes

components is happy with the way things are going. Export orders are

up, and so our sales to British car-makers. There is definitely a

recovery. The orders we have won over the last three years are more

than �32 million worth of business. It is a very busy and exciting time.

For house prices, the Halifax reported the biggest annual increase

for three years. They were up 3.7% on a year earlier. The average price

is �168,000, although there are big regional variations. Kerry and Mark

have every reason to celebrate. 18 months ago they tried to sell their

Bristol home, but there were no offers. When the house went back on

the market recently, it was a different story. It was valued at

�10,000 more this time, the first people that viewed it offered the

asking price. What was your reaction? Shock and overjoyed.The

construction industry had a tough time in the last year or so, partly

due to public sector cutbacks. That is one reason why economic growth

overall has been held back. In some parts of the sector that are signs

of a turnaround. The developer at this site west of London has sold 30

flats before they are even finished. The boss says prospects

for residential and commercial property are looking stronger.

still think that the secretaries finding it very tough. -- the sector

is finding it very tough. The headwinds continue, but we can see

signs of light at the end of the tunnel. The Bank of England would

not disagree with that. The foundations may be in place, but it

could be some time before the recovery is firmly established

across the UK economy. In South Africa, there have been

more recriminations among the Mandela family. Nelson Mandela's

grandson, Mandla, has accused some relatives of seeking revenge against

him. Yesterday, the bodies of three of Nelson Mandela's children were

exhumed at the home and have been reburied in original graves. There

has also been a dispute about Nelson Mandela's health. There is flash

photography in this report. A gloomy stage for the next act in a

venomous family feud. Three of Nelson Mandela's children were

reburied here today, brought back to the private cemetery where the

former president will one day be laid to rest. The graves had been

moved by one of Mandela's grandson 's, prompting other relatives to go

to court and, yesterday, the police to break into the grandson's home to

exhume the bodies. Today, the same grandson utterly condemned his

relatives for challenging his authority. Individuals have

abandoned their own families and heritage, and decided to jump on the

Mandela wagon. Wellwishers outside Mandela's hospital today. But the

infighting has reached here as well. Relatives have claimed in court

documents that the 94-year-old is in a vegetative state. A close friend

who has seen him told us today that simply was not true. He was not

speaking. He has a chew into his lungs, so he cannot speak. Dashed

Shoop. But he is moving his mouth, as though he's trying to speak. And

I am quite satisfied that he is responsive to what I was saying.

Today, Nelson Mandela's wife was also sounding relatively up beat.

Although he may sometimes be uncomfortable, very few times he is

in pain. But he is fine. I think the best gift that he has given to this

nation again is the gift of unity. That unity may not extend to

Norseman della... -- Nelson Mandela's relatives. But there was a

strong desire to focus on his achievement and legacy, and not the

squabbles of his relatives. Tonight, another candlelit vigil for

semifinals day, with much at stake for all four players, none of whom

has won a grand slam title. She is the new, smiling star of

Centre Court. Sabine Lisicki, crowd favourite and now Wimbledon

finalist. With Agnieszka Radwanska, she produced one of the matches of

the championships. Lisicki, who knocked out Serena Williams,

ultimately edged an epic deciding set, 9-7. For her fans, her family

and, above all, Lisicki herself, the most emotional of victories. Ella

Wimbledon is my favourite tournament, I love it so much. I

don't know, it is just my favourite tournament and I can't believe that

I am in the final. Earlier, Kirsten Flipkens's fairy

tale came to an end at Wimbledon. A year ago she was diagnosed with a

life-threatening blood clot. But she could not continue her remarkable

progress, thrashed by Marion Bartoli. Tomorrow, all eyes will

once again turned to this man. Andy Murray has been on the practice

courts, preparing for his fifth Wimbledon final. Surely, never have

expectations been so high. Murray, who faces JG analects, seemed

relaxed as he signed autographs. A lot of hopes will rest on his right

hand. Sir Walter Scott, creator of Ivanhoe

and Rob Roy, has been described as the world's first bestselling

author. His home, Abbotsford House, has undergone a �12 million

restoration programme and has been officially reopened by the Queen.

He called it his conundrum castle. Others call it a neo-Gothic baronial

mansion. It is Abbotsford, the grand home that Sir Walter Scott built for

himself in the Scottish Borders. It is where he lived, worked and wrote

novels including Ivanhoe, that made him and Scotland world famous. His

influence on both sides of the border was profound and

far-reaching. He personally orchestrated George IV's historic

trip to Edinburgh, in which the king wore a tartan kilt, a form of

national dress that Scott helped popularise. Sir Walter Scott was

fiercely proud of his native country, as can be seen by the coats

of arms representing the families that protected the borders against

the English. But he was also a fully signed up member of the British

establishment. Some say that in his heart he was a nationalist, in his

head a unionist. But that was the politics of around 200 years ago. I

wonder if he were alive today what side he might take on autumn's

independence referendum. The key importance of Robert Scott and his

contemporaries, they lived at a time when they could envisage the effect

of annihilation of Scottish history and the extension of Scotland as an

entity, as a nation, and, from a different perspective, to do

something about it. In terms of a modern age, he would certainly have

been for the parliament and monarchy. I would like to have

thought that he would like to move towards independence. There is no

doubt that he fought his country's corner. His home is full of objects

each collected celebrating its past. In the opinion of one of the current

leading novelist 's in the country, Scott would always have wished to

have remained part of the union. referred to England as our sister

and ally. I think that is consistent position. He would certainly deplore

any Anglophobia in a referendum debate. I suspect he would be happy

with further devolution, but he would not like to see the United

Kingdom broken up. Scott was one of the great figures of the Romantic

period. The vision of Scotland as a country of tartan warriors remains
