The first direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians for | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
three years. Washington says meetings will start tomorrow. | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
The break through came after the Israeli Cabinet agreed to release | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
over 100 Palestinian prisoners. We will be live in Jerusalem and in | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Washington. Also tonight - the Government's official statistics on | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
migration are dismissed as "not fit for purpose." The Home Office | :00:31. | :00:38. | |
insists the system is robust. In Egypt, Muslim Brotherhood | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
supporters defy the Government's call to abandon the tense standoff | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
at a Cairo mosque. The driver of the Spanish train that derailed at high | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
speed is questioned in court. The death toll now stands at 79. | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
It is a fourth win in Hungary... Lewis Hamilton is victorious in | :00:58. | :01:08. | |
:01:08. | :01:20. | ||
Hungary. His first win of the Good evening. Within the last hour, | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
there has been a major development in the Middle East peace process, | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
with Israeli and Palestinian negotiators to take part in the | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
first face -to-face talks for three years. The preliminary meetlings in | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
Washington are scheduled to begin tomorrow, after six months of | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
shuttle diplomacy by the US Secretary of State, John Kerry and | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
the decision earlier from the Israeli Cabinet to release more than | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
100 Palestinian prisoners. In a moment, we will speak to our | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
correspondent in Jerusalem, but first our correspondent is live for | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
us in Washington. How much of a coup is this for American diplomacy? | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
think it is certainly an achievement. It is too early to work | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
out what size of one it is. Bear in mind that, what six months ago, | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
probably six weeks ago no-one in this town would have thought they | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
would be hosting face-to-face talks between the Israelis and | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
Palestinians. The White House, President Obama seemed uninterested | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
in the problem. It has taken the commitment of John Kerry to really | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
get this going. At the same time, there are grave doubts a lot of | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
cynicism about how much common ground there is between the Israelis | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
and the Palestinians. It is worth noting these are talks about talks. | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
Simply getting them going at all is an achievement. So they will take | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
place in the same room with the negotiators in Washington? That is | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
what we understand. Tomorrow, we will see the beginning of what may | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
or may not be a relatively long dance. They will be discussions | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
about discussions. It is important to both sides to know where they are | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
coming from and where they might be going together. So these are, as I | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
say, talks about talks, but some talks are better than nothing. | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
Also with us, from Jerusalem, is our correspondent there. | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
There was an Israeli Cabinet meeting earlier on today. Part of the | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
process that made this announcement possible. | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
Yes. The Cabinet decided to release 104 Palestinian prisoners. Now, this | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
was a very difficult decision for the Cabinet. The vote was split, | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
13-7. The Israeli Prime Minister said that he understood this was a | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
difficult decision because these prisoners, some of them have been in | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
Israeli jails for up to 30 years for killing Israelis. He said this was | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
an important step to take to try and start talks again with the | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
Palestinians, especially given the challenges Israel face with the | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
wider Middle East at the moment. difficult decisions for the | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
Israelis. What about the Palestinians? What will be the key | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
issues for them? Well, the Palestinians are very concerned | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
about Jewish settlements being built in the West Bank. The Palestinians | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
also have to worry about the divisions among themselves. | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
President asbestos is -- President Abbas is emphatic in the West Bank. | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
Gaza is controlled by Hamas. They will have their own internal | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
divisions to get over with. And many Palestinians and many Israelis will | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
tell you that they are very, very sceptical about the prospect of | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
these talks making any progress t a all. | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
-- progress at all. Thank you. | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
Other news and the Government has insisted that its statistics on | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
migration are accurate, after criticism from an influential group | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
of MPs. The Public Administration Select Committee said the figures | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
were little more than a guess and unreliable because they were based | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
on too small a sample of cases. The Home Office has defended methods and | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
said net migration is coming down. How many people cross the border to | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
live in Britain, or to move abroad? Despite the technology and the | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
bureaucracy, politicians cannot be certain. Today, MPs say the figures | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
aren't accurate enough. They are asking questions about net | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
migration. That is the difference between the number of people coming | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
to live in the UK and those moving out, including people from inside | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
and outside of the EU and even returning British ex-pats. Net | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
migration was down by one-third, to 163,000, in the 12 months to June | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
last year. But, because that figure comes from a survey, not from | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
counting travellers, there's a margin of error, which means the | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
true figure could be higher or lower by as many as 35,000 people. | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
MPs say that is not good enough. The Conservative minister disagrees. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
office for Office for National Statistics, which is of course | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
independent from the Government, and which compiles the statistics say | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
they are fit for purpose and they produce robust estimates of the | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
migration coming to and from the UK. Tories like him want to get the net | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
migration figure down to below 100,000 - a goal that is opposed by | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
the Liberal Democrats. This idea that you are pursuing a net | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
immigration figure is very misleading. Among other things, the | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
largest number of people counted as immigrants are overseas students. | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
They are visitors. Labour admit they should have done | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
more on this when they were in office. They too oppose the Tory net | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
migration target. When the Government is then boosting that it | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
has cut net migration by one-third, when actually it might not have | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
fallen at all because it is within the margin of error, it just, I | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
think it feels wrong. As for dealing with illegal immigration, Labour and | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
the Lib Demes were united today, criticising these temporary mobile | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
adverts, designed to encourage illegal immigrants to leave the | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
country. Vince Cable said they were stupid and offensive. However they | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
approach this issue, all sides know voters care deeply about the topic | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
and expect the politicians to deliver results. | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
Egypt is braced for a new phase in the standoff between the Army and | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
supporters of the ousted President Mohamed Morsi w the interim | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
Government pledging to deal decisively with unrest. A day after | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
clashes at a mosque killed scores of people, the Muslim Brotherhood is | :07:45. | :07:54. | |
refusing to abandon its sit-in They have been chanting his name for | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
nearly a month, since their President Morsi was ousted. Their | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
vigil goes on but with no progress regaining the power over Egypt that | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
their man and the Muslim Brotherhood once held. | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
Just a few streets away yesterday they battled against the security | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
forces of the new Egypt. More than 70 of them died. The human rights | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
organisation said these deaths were likely targeted killings. Britain, | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
the United States and others have called on Egypt to stop the | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
killings. Today, the country's Foreign Minister responded. We need | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
to have a strong presence of the security forces, the police in | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
particular, on the ground, on the etheter being able to manage the | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
situation -- on the theatre being able to manage the situation you | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
need to defuse violence. If you have people shooting each other, you will | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
obviously have casualties. They lost control yesterday? It is difficult | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
to control a crowd using weapons if you are trying not to use weapons. | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
How will Egypt resolve these dark divisions? It seems the security | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
forces weren't trying to clear out the protestors, they were trying to | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
contain them. Now they say they will do just that. The protestors say | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
they will not budge. So, we have stalemate w the world looking on, | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
telling Egypt not to use violence. The millions who gathered in Tahrir | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Square want their revolution completed. Groups say it must happen | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
peacefully. We are worried they will interpret this as a blank cheque. | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
There are rules Governing how lethal force can be used. We are calling on | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
the authorities to abide by these rules, no matter how many go into | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
Tahrir Square and egg them on. Egypt is being built. The question | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
is whether it carries millions of Islamists with it. That will be | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
settled either with force or reason on these streets in the coming days | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
and weeks. The driver of a Spanish train that | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
derailed at high speed on Wednesday, killing 79 people, has appeared in | :10:01. | :10:10. | |
court. Garz garz garz, who has been a-- the driver was questioned by a | :10:10. | :10:20. | |
:10:20. | :10:20. | ||
Three days after his arrest 52-year-old Jose Garzon was escorted | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
to face a judge in the nearby courthouse. He is formally under | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
investigation for what has been termed negligent homicide. The judge | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
will decide whether the driver should remain in custody pending any | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
charges. Earlier in the day, I had met this | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
man and his wife, who live yards from the crash scene. A photographer | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
captured this image and the man and a neighbour helped Mr Garzon to a | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
clearing area. He recalled the same words spoken repeatedly. The driver | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
was saying he wanted to die. He would rather be dead than see the | :10:59. | :11:07. | |
damage he caused. He said he was going to fast. He said he oh -- he | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
was going too fast. He slowed down, but it was too late. The events hang | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
over this ancient religious centre, over those who pray for the the dead | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
and injured. For the pilgrims outside the great Cathedral. | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
Watching recovery work at the crash scene this woman told me she is | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
struggling to cope with what she witnessed. I cannot sleep. I want to | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
forget it, but I can't. I saw it happen in front of me, but I | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
couldn't do anything. It was horrible, horrible. | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
The physical evidence will soon be gone. The events of last week may | :11:45. | :11:53. | |
have left permanent scars on those touched by the tragedy. | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
The Foreign Secretary, William Hague, has called his Spanish | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
counterpart to express serious concerns about delays at the border | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
between Spain and Gibraltar. Motorists crossing between the two | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
have had to endure queues of up to six hours. The delays could be | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
linked to a harbour dispute between Spain and Gibraltar, over which the | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
UK holds sovereignty. A 21-year-old man busy an arrested on suspicion of | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
harassment over messages on twitter. Caroline Criado-Perez who organised | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
a campaign for a woman to be featured on the new �10 note, said | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
she subsequently received abusive messages, including threats of rape | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
and murder. Police investigating the death of Linzi Ashton in Greater | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
Manchester have charged her former boyfriend with murder, rape and | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
assault. 28-year-old Michael Cope will appear in court tomorrow. The | :12:45. | :12:53. | |
mother of two was found dead at her home last month. Over three million | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
people gathered on Copacabana Beach today for the final mass of Pope | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
Francis's visit to Brazil. He greeted people around a three-mile | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
stretch of coast. This was one of the biggest | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
gatherings ever seen in Brazil. At least three million pilgrims waking | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
up after a night-long vigil on Copacabana Beach, inspired by a Pope | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
who communicates at their level. This papal visit may have been more | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
about style over substance, but in the words of one Vatican insider, | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
Pope Francis has electrified the Catholic Church and brought many | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
young people back home. For the leader of a church that is | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
trying to overcome so many internal problems the adulation has been | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
almost unconditional. The Church here in Latin America is | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
inclusively charismatic. For a moment, even the bishops forgot who | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
they were. The verse "go and make desip | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
approximates of all nations" has been a constant theme. | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
The Church needs you, your enthusiasm and your creativity, Pope | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
Francis told his young, attentive audience. | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
Repeatedly Catholic youth have told the Pope to tell them to get up, go | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
out and spread the word. As they joined together in pilgrimage they | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
said it was a church beginning to listen and modernise. | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
institution that does not deal with its young people die. That is the | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
way it works. The Church has to address the young people, nurture | :14:36. | :14:43. | |
their faith and spirituality, otherwise the Church will not exist. | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
There were other young people marching, unhappy with the Pope's | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
visit and the Church's stance on issues like abortion and gay rights. | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
I am against the fact they are spending money with the people, the | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
money from people, in this kind of event. It is bringing nothing for | :15:03. | :15:13. | |
:15:13. | :15:13. | ||
Sheer enthusiasm for Pope Francis diverted attention away from serious | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
organisational problems, hosting the World Cup next year will be a much | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
tougher challenge. ??FORCEWHITE Diamonds worth an | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
estimated �34 million have been stolen in an armed robbery in the | :15:26. | :15:34. | |
south of France. The jewels were stolen by a man arnled with a pistol | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
from the char on the hotel in Cannes. | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
-- from the Karl on the hotel in Cannes. Lewis Hamilton won the | :15:44. | :15:51. | |
hundred gr Ryan Grand Prix today. -- Hungarian Grand Prix today. | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
Lewis Hamilton said he needed a miracle to win the Hungarian Grand | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
Prix. That is because although he was starting from pole for the | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
fourth time this season he was yet to win a race. Beating Sebastian | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
Vettel was vital and his prayers were answered while he did that | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
while the German struggled to fend off Romain Grosjean. Hamilton | :16:14. | :16:23. | |
stopped for new tyres. Vettel's hopes evaporated. He slowed to | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
seventh behind Button. He did Hamilton a favour, holding up | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
Vettel for 12 frustrating laps. There were no such problems for | :16:34. | :16:41. | |
Mercedes. With the Australian out of the way, there was nothing to stop | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
Hamilton cruising to the chequered flag. A brilliant job!Hamilton says | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
it is one of the most important wins of his career and now anything is | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
possible. He will need another miracle to | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
catch Vettel in the driver Drivers' Championship. Tom Daley had to | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
settle for sixth place in the ten-metre platform final at the | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
World Championships. He was struggling with atry accept injury | :17:08. | :17:17. | |
and re-- a tricep injury. Qui Bo retained his world title. There was | :17:17. | :17:24. | |
an international Paralympic meeting, as some of the stars of last summer | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
made a return to the Olympic Stadium. For the fans, one final | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
trip down memory lane, as the Olympic Stadium welcomed back its | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
Paralympic heroes. Among them the poster boy, Jonnie Peacock. Could he | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
once again sprint to 100 metres glory? What followed was the most | :17:44. | :17:53. | |
staggering race the sport has seen. Peacock could only watch. Olivara | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
knocked two tenths of a second off the world record. | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
This was a day when once again Britain's passion for Paralympic | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
sport was plain to see. Whitehead with another stunning surge to take | :18:10. | :18:18. | |
the 200 metres. It was the greatest hits of 2012 all over again. Rounded | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
off by David Weir. His victory - the perfect ending to an unforgettable | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
three days. So the end of the anniversary games and for this | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
stadium the end of an era. It will be closed now until 2015. It is for | :18:34. | :18:44. | |
:18:44. | :18:46. | ||
2012 it will always be remembered. Germany's women are champion after | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
beating Norway 1-0. It was their goalkeeper, Nadine Angerer, who | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
proved the real hero, saving two penalties. Germany have won six | :18:57. | :19:01. |
