for two-days from tomorrow after it intercepted Al-Qaeda messages | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
discussing attacks. The US Embassy in Yemen today, heavily guarded. | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
America is taking no chances in the face of what it calls a, | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
"significant threat." Around the Middle East and North Africa two | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
dozen US missions will close tomorrow. It's America's response to | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
new intelligence. It is an Al-Qaeda affiliated threat, yes. It is of the | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
Al-Qaeda branch. Is the threat to blow up an embassy, consulate or | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
something else? That part is unspecify -- unspecified. The intent | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
seems clear. The intent is to attack western not just US interests. | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
that in mind, Britain, France and Germany are closing their embassies | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
in Yemen, France for tomorrow, Germany and the UK on Monday also. | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
The British government hasn't gone as far as the Americans. If hasn't | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
issued a region-wide travel alert. It says that one embassy in Yemen | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
will be closed. It said staff at that embassy have been withdrawn due | :01:52. | :02:02. | |
:02:02. | :02:09. | ||
to what it calls, "security concerns." The In 2009 the group Was | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
expected of blowing up a plane, a year later an attempt to kill a | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
British Ambassador. A drone attack killed an extremist preacher and key | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
figure in the group. The US Embassy stood as it was in Cairo today, | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
hidden behind concrete. It's clear America thinks regular security | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
measures may not be enough for the current threat. The Electoral | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
Commission in Zimbabwe has declared that President Robert Mugabe has won | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
a seventh term in office. Mr Mugabe, who is 89 years old, won more than | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
60% of the vote. The main opposition party led by Prime Minister Morgan | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
Tsvangirai has already called the election a "sham" alleging there was | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
massive fraud and say it is won't accept the result. We can speak to | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
our correspondent who joins us from Harare. The The rule of Africa's | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
longest reigning leader continues then? It definite definitely | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
continues, President Robert Mugabe has won by nearly 62%, while Morgan | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
Tsvangirai has only 33 % of the vote which effectively takes away the | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
need of a run off election set for September. Prime Minister Morgan | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
Tsvangirai has declared the election a farce he will appear to the | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
African union and says he will go to Zimbabwe's courts which he says are | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
severely compromised. Thank you very much. The Managing Director of | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Twitter in the UK has issued a public apology to women who have | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
experienced abuse on the website, Tony Wang said the verbal attack, | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
which included threats of murder and rape, were simply not acceptable. He | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
also announced the company is adding a "report abuse" button to each | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
tweet displayed on its website. Some high profile women have had to | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
endure bomb threats like this one. Other tweets threatened violence, | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
rape and even death merely for having an opinion. Caroline | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
Criado-Perez received hundreds of threatening messages and pictures on | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
Twitter when she campaigned to have a woman on the back of the new �10. | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
She won that campaign. Her treatment in cyberspace highlighted a serious | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
issue for many. She still receives threats, other people are as well. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
It's important this week becomes the start of the process of change and | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
we change the culture that say it is's inevitable that women will is | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
just have to cope with them. It's not for us to cope, it's for society | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
to change it. An online petition urged Twitter to take action. The | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
company said it was hiring more staff to monitor abusive comments | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
and its UK general manager said he was sorry. Tony Wang said the abuse | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
some women had received was simply not acceptable. It wasn't acceptable | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
in the real world, and it's not acceptable on Twitter. If I'm using | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
Twitter with my smartphone and someone sends me what I believe to | :05:18. | :05:28. | |
:05:28. | :05:35. | ||
be an abusive message I can report the matter using this red | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
functionality here. I can't do it on my desk top. That will be corrected | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
next month. The real issue with Twitter, you can set up an account | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
easily, if you are an abuser you can set up and start again. Could | :05:46. | :05:54. | |
genuine debate be stifled people reporting as abusive what is a | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
passionate debate? Today's promise of action by Twitter is a small, but | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
significant step towards protecting those in a virtual world who are | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
already protected in the real world. The In Afghanistan at least nine | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
people have been killed and more than 20 wounded in an attack outside | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
the Indian consulate in Jalalabad. Officials said three suicide bombers | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
in a car approached a check point near the mission. Two leapt out and | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
began shooting, while the third detonated his explosives. An Indian | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
Foreign Ministry official said the victims included Afghan security | :06:27. | :06:35. | |
personnel and civilians. Iran's new President, Hassan Rouhani, has taken | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
office. He was officially endorsed by the country's Supreme Lead leader | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
Ayatollah Ali Khameini at a ceremony in Tehran. He has promised reform | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
and an end to Iran's international isolation. Kevin Pietersen and Ian | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
Bell have been leading the England fightback against a strong | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
Australian first innings in the Third Ashes Test. The Aussies have | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
to win to retain any hope for the series. Joe Wilson can bring us | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
up-to-date. How is it looking? running out for Australia really. | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
They have to win this Test match or England keep the Ashes. For | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
Australia to win the match they have to bowl England out twice. At the | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
moment, England are going along pretty well in their first innings | :07:23. | :07:30. | |
271-5. What will be frustrating for Australia is that the weather so far | :07:30. | :07:38. | |
has gone their way. Today, we have had no interuptions to play. | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
Manchester sky is a picture of ever changing moves, looks bright, looks | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
dark, could be rain, could be sun. Hard to predict. It's always best to | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
stay optimistic or just plain brave. England's prospects of batting | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
through the day sank with the departure of Jonathan Trott in the | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
first hour. Alastair Cook is dependable. England a long way | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
behind, the captain will nudge the team in the right direction 50. The | :08:01. | :08:11. | |
:08:11. | :08:14. | ||
Kevin Pietersen you are never serve. For him batting is risk-taking. It | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
looks great when it works. Cook's radar went awry bat guiding ball to | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
wicketkeeper. England four wickets down at lunch, over 400 behind. | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
Pressure, how do you lift it? The Pietersen approach, successive to | :08:25. | :08:34. | |
bring up his 50, spin bowl bowler Nathan Lion, Ian Bell belted them | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
sky wards. Seen anything more surprising than that? Yes, maybe. | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
Watson bowling, Pietersen given not out LBW. Australia not interested in | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
reviewing. If they had, Pietersen would have been given out as | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
Australia's dressing room passed on to the captain. It looked like Bell | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
was on his way to an Ashes 100 when Harris struck. Things need to keep | :08:59. | :09:08. | |
happening for Australia. Ian Bell gone for 60, Kevin Pietersen has | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
reached his century, 23rd 100 for England. The England are still over | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
250 runs behind. We have two-days left, the point is we are expecting | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
rain here. At some point! How exciting. Thank you very much. | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
Domestic football is back from its summer break. The Championship | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
season kicked off with a 1-1 draw between Burnley and Bolton. The | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
David wheater deflected the ball into his own net to put Burnley | :09:43. | :09:48. |
