Tonight, a leaked report, details numerous problems of some schools in

Birmingham, after allegations of Islamist extremism. A draft document

from the education funding agency said there was inadequate governance

and boys and girls were segregated in some classes. Labour says Theresa

May broke the Ministerial Code in a row about how the Government should

respond to Islamist extremism. Tonight, Ofsted is preparing to

publish reports into 21 schools at the heart of the allegations. Also

in the programme - the former head of the Army in Egypt has been sworn

in as the country's new President. More sponsors voice their concerns

about allegations of corruption in Qatar's bid to host the World Cup.

And England's footballers touch down in Rio, ahead of the current World

Cup campaign. A very good evening to you. New

details have emerged a draft report into the Birmingham schools at the

heart of allegations of Islamist extremism. The findings by the

education funding agency concerning Park View Educational Trust say

there was inadequate governance and in one schoolboys and girls were

segregated. Ofsted is preparing to publish reports into 21 schools in

Birmingham. Labour is accusing the Home Secretary, Theresa May, of

breaking the Ministerial Code in a row surrounding the Government's

response. From Birmingham our political correspondent has the

story. These Birmingham schools are among

those at the heart of a contentious inquiry into an alleged takeover

plot by hardline Muslims. Tomorrow, Ofsted's chief inspector will give

his verdict on whether there's any truth in those claims and Ofsted

reports will be published. So far 21 schools have been inspected. Of

those, five will be placed in special measures. One already is.

There are several other investigations pending which

reflects the level of concern. It is grooming and that is significant.

There is a significant grooming going on in these schools, away from

the ethos and the parents of these children and away from what the

majority of the community is concerned about. The Ofsted report

for this school has already been leaked. It found too little was

being done to protect students from extremist views. They could be left

vulnerable to the risks of radicalisation. The governors reject

the report and say Ofsted tried to find failings. They were not there

to look at how good the school was doing. They were there to fail the

school. That is why myself as a governor, pupils work extremely

hard. We are so angry about it. If you are going to judge us, at least

for the right reason. The BBC has obtained a copy of a draft report

into the school's run by the Park View Educational Trust, which has

been at the centre of the allegations. It says:

The trust has rejected these suggestions and question the

accuracy of the report. All of this has caused a split right

at the heart of Government. Two senior ministers have publicly

criticised each other senior ministers have publicly

they have handled the issue. It has meant a day of negative headlines.

Labour wants to know about the role of Theresa May in leaking a letter,

raising questions about the Education Secretary. We so far heard

nothing from the Home Secretary, although it looks pretty clear she

has breached the Ministerial Code by writing and authorising the

publication of this letter. The Prime Minister is responsible for

enforcing the Ministerial Code. He needs to act. There's been a

disciplinary matter which the Prime Minister has dealt with in a firm,

clear way. There'll be discipline in the Government. The main thing, as

you said at the beginning the Government. The main thing, as

programme, is the issue itself. It is tackling extremism in schools. On

that, there's more to come. Tomorrow, following Ofsted's

official view, there'll be statements in Parliament about what

has happened in Birmingham and the Government's response to it. These

schools and therefore this Government's response to it. These

faces yet further scrutiny. And our education correspondent is

with me now. What is your assessment of the findings in this draft

report? We heard some of the details of this report there. There is a lot

of detail there. A lot makes a lot of very interesting and to some

people disturbing reading. It says, for example, at park view school,

there was insufficient evidence that they were making the school

attractive to all faiths. It is not a faith school. One teacher said

there was an Islamic focus that went too far. There was concern about the

vetting procedures for speakers coming in. One speaker known for his

extremist views addressed children at the school. It is not clear what

he said. In another group in the -- school in the group, staff said they

were banned from discussing sexual orientation. That affected English,

RE, art. The trust, as Alex said, has in the past denied claims of the

nature of the sort made here. We are going to get tomorrow afternoon the

reports from the other education watchdog, Ofsted and the list of

recommendations to Michael Gove. I think though there'll be a furious

debate about whether this amounts to extremism or radicalisation or

whether it is a form of religious conservatism, withsy a challenge to

liberal views, but is not political. We will get the reports out

tomorrow. There's no underestimating the anger there is in some quarters

in Birmingham and it may be that is not resolved tomorrow. Thank you.

The former chief of the Egyptian army, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, has been

sworn in as Egypt's new President. The retired field marshal overthrew

Mohamed Morsi last July and has been pursuing a crackdown against his

Muslim Brotherhood party ever since. We have this report from Cairo and

it does contain some flash photography. Touching down to take

control. Abdel Fattah el-Sisi arrived under

tight security. He has already been the target of two assassination

attempts. He took the Oath of Office almost a year after ousting Egypt's

first freely elected President, Mohamed Morsi.

A presiding official at the swearing in said that was not a coup, it with

us the will of the people. The new President has been embraced

by leaders from the Middle East. He needs their cash for his crumbling

economy. They need him to keep a tight grip on the Arab world's most

populist nation. President Sisi said this was a

unique moment in Egypt's history, the first peaceful democratic

transfer of power. His election victory was flawed,

according to some international observers, because of a climate of

fear and repression. Down town in Tahrir Square,

supporters were giving thanks for Egypt's new Pharaoh.

"Sisi, you are a Lord," this woman said. "You are good and respectable.

You are a symbol like the para mid-s." Supporters gathered here.

They believe that Sisi can deliver stability and growth after years of

turmoil. They see him as their save your. Experts -- saviour. Experts

warn this could fade fast if he cannot deliver.

And there are real concerns about what direction he will take.

Opponents believe Egypt's latest military strongman will follow the

well-trodded path of authoritarian rule.

Reports from Pakistan say Karachi International Airport has come under

attack. At least five people are thought to have been killed,

including security staff after gunmen opened fire and threw

grenades inside the old terminal building. The Army has sealed off

the area. Tens of thousands of Sikhs have marched through central London

to commemorate the storming of the golden temple at Amritsar, by the

Indian army 30 years ago. They are demanding the deaths of Sikhs in

rioting back in 1984 be recognised as genocide, saying what they say

was India's failure to prevent the killings.

Swords drawn and wearing the orange of what they call "the Sikh Nation,"

British Sikhs marched through London. Never before have they

gathered in such numbers to protest against the massacre of searchings.

They are calling it India's hidden genocide and demanding justice for

the thousands of Sikhs killed in 1984. The passion is unmistakable.

It is a hurt, that after 30 years, will not go away.

The spectacular golden temple in Amritsar is the holiest of Sikh

shrines. The Indian army used force to remove the militants occupying it

in days of bloody fighting. In revenge, the Prime Minister, Indira

Ghandi, was assassinated by two of her Sikh bodyguards. That sparked

riots, especially in Delhi, in which 3,000 Sikhs were killed.

This man was 12 when he witnessed his brother's death at the hands of

a mob. When they brought him out and they had an iron rod, so they, the

iron was on the head and he fell down and they three or four times

put the iron and he died. Sikh leaders say only a full, open

enquiry will give their community a sense of closure.

Women raped. Men burnt alive. How can anybody get over any of that

without there being a full inquiry into this. Those perpetrators are

still walking free on the streets of India today. India says its action

in Amritsar was a last resort to save the country from

destabilisation. British Sikhs insist the full story

of 1984 has yet to be told. In Nigeria there are reports of

continuing atrocities by the radical Islamist Group B oko Haram, who

kidnapped 200 schoolgirls. Their fighters dominate many parts of the

north-east, despite a year-long offensive by the Nigerian military T

latest reported attacks are in the Gwoza Hills. 200 people have been

killed in the last two weeks. Our correspondent spoke to one witness

of the aftermath of an attack and sent us this report.

Boko Haram on the ram paining in north-east Nigeria. For the past

week they have been terrorising villages near the border. There are

reports of hundreds dead. Those who could headed to these mountains.

Fighters chasing and shooting them as they fled. I got through to a man

who witnessed the recent attack on his village. From the mountain, he

told me homes were still on fire. What happened to the dead people?

Have they been buried? In shallow graves?

Yes. Can you see any soldiers?

Nigeria's military flying over the forest, where Boko Haram has bases.

It is where more than 200 schoolgirls were initially taken

after being abducted. This is what we mains of their boarding school.

The girls are still missing. These days this place too is a stronghold.

People get the latest information from their relatives back homes in

the villages. A lot of black and white flags

installed, with Arabic writing, indicating, this is our

headquarters, we are in control here. Other small villages, again,

around have one or two flags flying. As of now, what they believe is this

place... The military say it is doing its best. The Government

doesn't want to say much about the deadly attacks.

Reports came in from sources. What I know is whatever is, or should be

done by the Nigerian military and police and so forth is being done.

It is being done. When the President ordered the military offensive, he

caused shock by revealing that parts of the north-east were no longer

under control of the state. A year on and fighters are still holding

territory in Nigery ya as they -- Nigeria.

They continue their brutal campaign of violence.

An unprecedented meeting has taken place at the Vatican involving Pope

Francis, Shimon Peres and the Palestinian President, Mahmoud

Abbas. They came together at Palestinian President, Mahmoud

for peace in the Middle East. The pope says he will not become

directly involved in any negotiations, but hopes the meeting

may improve the atmosphere between the two sides.

Five of the football World Cup's six corporate sponsors have expressed

concern about claims of corruption in awarding the 2022 tournament to

Qatar. Our chief sports correspondent is in

Rio for us now. How serious is this becoming for the Governing body,

FIFA? Well, this feels like it could be a genuinely significant moment in

this saga. FIFA is expected to earn ?1 billion from its top backers,

this next World Cup cycle. When five go public with concerns over how the

right to stage the World Cup in eight years' time was won, the

Governing body tends to listen. Four more joined Sony, in not only

expressing their concern, but also saying there has to be a thorough

investigation, after the Sunday Times published further allegation

of wrong doing. Qatar's former top football official

stands accuses of holding deals to win the deal in eight years time.

FIFA are desperate to focus on the football. This feels real now. As

the top teams in the world arrive here, they are having to fend off

allegations of corruption. Well, when England arrived in Rio

today, the manager, Roy Hodgson, said the team spirit's was very,

very good. They have under a week to acclimatise.

Every four years, the routine is the same - blinking into the morning

sun, the men tasked with carrying a nation's footballing hopes finally

enter the World Cup. This time there is a calm about England. Despite

some robust challenges in the final warm-up, they have come away from

Miami's training camp with only one injury.

Their manager says they are ready. The most important thing is we are

here, all in one piece and our mood, our optimism has not been dented at

all. Now it is talking over and playing from here. The security

presence around the England team is high. The Government is clearly

taking no chances. The England team are making their way to their hotel

in Rio, where the FA hope it will be the perfect balance of privacy but

also simulation. The military were out in force for

the team's arrival, at the Royal Tulip Hotel. England fans' former

reputations perhaps preceding them. For the ones who have already

arrived, it was a journey worth making. The World Cup! Brazil!

Couldn't think of anything better than coming out here and spending

all my money. It is the dream. I wanted to go to a World Cup. As soon

as I knew it was in Brazil, I whatted to do it. Play -- I had to

do it. Players were quickly out on their balconies.

To their left, the less glamorous part of Rio - the biggest slum,

perched on the mountainside. To their right, there is this.

As England aim to be good tourists, this spot will be a good place for

the squad to take a stroll over the coming weeks and provide perfect

thinking time for a manager who has some big decisions to make.

That's it
