And we can speak to Tim Franks in Paris now. There was still 80 miles | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
for Bradley wig twoeug ride today on his freshly sprayed yellow bike | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
but the tradition is for the leader to remain unchallenged on the final | :01:02. | :01:12. | |
day. It's a day, this being France, for Bon amie and strange customs | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
involving livestock. The sense of expectation was anything but flat. | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
After three weeks, 2000 miles, 22 mountain passes, the end was in | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
sight and the prospect of a unique achievement for Britain. | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
There are moments in sport, perhaps just a few each century, when a | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
nation asks where were you when? Well, this is one of them, | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
certainly for these fans. Bradley Wiggins is doing what no Briton has | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
done before. First, though, the sight of a | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
Briton doing what's become astonishingly familiar. Mark Cavan | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
tkaeurb may be the best road sprinter the world has seen. With | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
his team-mate Bradley Wiggins leading the peloton, Cavendish | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
swung out for his fourth consecutive win of the most | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
tkphrapl rows -- glamorous tour stage of them all. Britain for so | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
long not a road cycling nation is flexing its leg muscles. This thing | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
happens to other people, you never imagine it happens to you. So, it's | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
incredible. It's not the sort of thing you soak in at the time and | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
think God, this is amazing, what a wonderful occasion. I bet you look | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
back in years to come and think that was special. There's more, | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
after waiting more than 100 years for a man on the podium, Britain | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
now has two. Standing on the left of the picture, Bradley Wiggins | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
team-mate, Chris Froome who came in second in the Tour. It's the start, | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
isn't it? We have been working very hard, ten years now, and on a | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
personal level I am as hungry as ever and ambitious and I have a lot | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
to give to the sport yet and this is just the start hopefully of a | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
period where we can dominate for a while. In a few days' time, we will | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
turn to the hunt for Olympic colds, but this -- golds, but this summer | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
it may be yellow that gleams the brightest. | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
Let's talk to Tim now. As you suggested, what a boost for British | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
sport, for the British mood a few days before the Olympics. It's | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
extraordinary. I am standing in the land of culinary delights but what | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
a selection we have in store for us now. Mark Cavendish will be back in | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
London in a few days time to compete for Britain's first gold in | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
the Olympics in the road race. You wouldn't bet against him at the | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
moment. Bradley Wiggins a week later, assuming he is not too | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
exhausted from that and here, he will be going for his fourth gold | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
in the time trial. He is the world's best time triallist. It's | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
about trying to get people involved this summer, it's about | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
participation and cycling is one of those sports that's been bucking | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
the trend, more people getting involved and as you heard from the | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
boss of British cycling there, look, it's not just about today, it's | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
about dominance year after year after year. These are giddy times. | :04:03. | :04:12. | |
Thank you. President Obama will arrive in | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
Colorado later this evening to meet the families of people killed and | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
injured when a gunman went on the rampage at a cinema on Friday. 12 | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
people died and more than 50 were injured in the town of Aurora. The | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
flat lived in by the man believed to have carried out the attack, has | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
now been cleared of booby-traps. From Aurora, Alistair Leithead sent | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
this report. We will rise from this... The dead | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
and the injured were remembered at Sunday Church services across this | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
city. Everyone has felt this tragedy, wondering what would drive | :04:45. | :04:54. | |
a young man to take so many lives. My mentor who works is a... This | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
was the suspect, James Holmes, six years ago, at a science camp in San | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
Diego, aged 18. He said he wanted to be a researcher, to make | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
scientific discoveries. At his flat today, the police were | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
continuing to collect evidence, of the weapons and ammunition he | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
bought, and the chemicals he used to make a booby-trap bomb in his | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
apartment. It took police two days to get into his flat. The home-made | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
explosives were removed safely and taken out into the desert to be | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
destroyed. The 12 people who were killed have | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
now all been named by the coroner. Some who died shielding their loved | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
ones from the bullets. The eldest was 51, the youngest just six years | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
old. She just wanted to have fun. She | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
was what you would want your six- year-old to be. Those who survived | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
are still haunted by what happened in cinema 9. I beat you, I made it. | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
He didn't take my life. He didn't take my friend's life either. But I | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
pray and I feel so sorry for the other families and all the other | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
men and women that didn't make it. President Obama will arrive here in | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
the next few hours to meet survivors and members of the | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
emergency services whose quick actions saved so many lives. But a | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
few months before the election it seems unlikely that he will tackle | :06:25. | :06:35. | |
:06:35. | :06:36. | ||
the controversial issue of America's gun control laws. | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
Syrian government troops have launched a major offensive to | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
regain control of parts of the capital, Damascus. Activists say | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
three areas of the city are being attacked by tanks and heavy weapons. | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
In the second city, Aleppo, rebel fighters are reported to have | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
gained control of several areas. Jim Muir has been monitoring the | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
situation from Beirut. The Damascus skyline, wreathed in | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
smoke from heavy bombardments. This district in the west of the city is | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
one of several where regime forces are battling to drive the rebels | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
out. They succeeded in the north-east of | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
the capital, at the cost of huge destruction. These troops are | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
believed to be from the much feared Fourth Division, commanded by | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
President Assad's brother. Mr Assad himself was meanwhile receiving his | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
army Chief of Staff and giving him his orders. Presumably, they were | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
to restore control in the capital and the second City Aleppo, at all | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
costs. Like Damascus, Aleppo newspaper the | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
north, had been relatively untouched by trouble until last | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
week. Now Government forces are battling to dislodge rebels from | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
several quarters they've taken over. In a straight fight, the lightly | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
armed opposition fighters are little match for the regime's | :07:49. | :07:58. | |
massive firepower, but they believe they're on the path of victory. | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
The Free Syrian Army has succeeded in liberating most of the areas of | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
the suburbs and the way is open to liberate the city of Aleppo and | :08:06. | :08:15. | |
from there to liberate the rest of Syrian soil with God's will. | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
Certainly the regime is not having it all its own way, as fighting | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
rages in many parts of the country. Refugees are spilling over the | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
nearby border into Turkey, joining thousands already there. None of | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
them knows when it will be safe to go home, and who will be in charge | :08:32. | :08:41. | |
when they do. Sport, and there was late drama at | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
golf's Open Championship at Royal Lytham, with Ernie Els winning by | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
just one shot. Australia's Adam Scott seemed to be cruising to | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
victory, but bogeyed the last four holes - including this one on the | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
18th - to hand victory to the South African, who lifted the Claret Jug | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
for the second time in his career. In Formula One, Ferrari's Fernando | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
Alonso has stretched his lead at the top of the drivers' | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
championship, by winning the German Grand Prix. The Spaniard became the | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
first man to win three races this season. Jenson Button was moved up | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
to second, after Sebastian Vettel was demoted for overtaking him off | :09:12. | :09:22. | |
:09:22. | :09:22. | ||
the track. Lewis Hamilton retired, nine laps from the finish. | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
The stage and screen actor, Simon Ward, has died, following a long | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
illness. He was 70. His agent said his wife and three daughters were | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
at his side when he died. Simon Ward became an international star | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
in 1972 after Richard Attenborough directed him in Young Winston - a | :09:37. | :09:40. |
