Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. The official number | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
of people killed in the political violence in Egypt yesterday has | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
risen to at least 525 with 4000 people injured. The Muslim | :01:48. | :01:50. | |

yesterday when the Egyptian security weeks by supporters of ousted | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
President Morsi. It turned into the bloodiest day in Egypt since the | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
pro-democracy uprising two years ago. Our Middle East correspondent | :02:12. | :02:20. | |
James Reynolds reports from Cairo. This country is now beginning to | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
learn the cost of yesterday's raid. These are the bodies of Morisi | :02:25. | :02:34. | |
supporters. Laid in a mosque. Their families. I have lost my brother but | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
I swear to God that I am happy that he has become a martyr. The minute | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
he left home with the Koran in his hand, I knew he could become a | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
martyr. Protesters say that this is evidence that what happened here was | :02:51. | :02:59. | |
a massacre. This is what is left of the mosque incumbent. For six weeks, | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
this was a refuge and a stronghold for supporters of the deposed | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
president Mohamed Morsi. But the security forces have taken it back | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
for the state. TRANSLATION: | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
I pray to God Almighty to stop the TRANSLATION: | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
bloodshed. We don't want anything more than what we have seen here. We | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
want Egypt to live in security and stability. This is where protesters | :03:24. | :03:34. | |
used to sleep. Workers are now getting rid of all signs of the | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
six-week application. -- occupation. Official figures show | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
that yesterday's raid was one of the most violent days in Egypt's Grecian | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
history. -- recent history. The government insists the police | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
history. -- recent history. The military acted with restraint. It | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
has called the loss of life regrettable that it has not | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
apologised. The new month-long state of emergency gives the government | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
extra powers. These will make it harder for the Muslim Brotherhood to | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
get back together. But the organisation promises that it will | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
continue to protest. Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
is in Cairo now. You have been out and about the streets of Cairo this | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
morning. Tell us what you seen. I have been to the remains of the | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
mosque, completely gutted by fire. Very much under the control of the | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
military. Around there as well a lot of supporters of the military say | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
basically the Muslim Brotherhood had it coming and some of them actually | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
celebrated what had happened there. A very different scene at another | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
mosque. A couple of miles from there, a place where a lot of bodies | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
of the dead have been taken and I think you saw some pictures of fat | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
in the report just now from James Reynolds and their thereof several | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
hundred bodies. They are putting ice on them to try to cool them down, to | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
stop the process of decomposition and in a place like that the people | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
there, the families, don't want to discuss things like political | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
protest, the chances of mediation or anything like that. They are talking | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
about justice for the dead and they are talking about their | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
determination to keep on resisting what they say is an illegitimate, | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
murdering military government. So Egypt is more divided than ever at | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
the moment and no sign of a political way out of this right now. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
Jeremy Bowen in Cairo. With me political way out of this right now. | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
our diplomatic correspondent James Robbins. The violence yesterday has | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
been condemned around the world, ambassadors being called in by | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
governments around the world and urged for restraint in Egypt. First | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
what has been said and then whether urged for restraint in Egypt. First | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
it will make any difference, you are right. Many Egyptian ambassadors in | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
Europe have been summoned by the foreign ministries, so the Foreign | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
Minister -- the Foreign Office summoned the ambassador in London | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
and was told that Britain and end the use of force to clear the | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
protests and urged the authorities to act with most -- to act with | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
restraint. The United States, slightly more cautious, urging | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
restraint on all sides but slightly less strong in its language against | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
the military led interim government. France warning of the possibility of | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
the Civil War, Turkey, a friend of President Morsi, saying there should | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
be an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council. Will any of this | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
make any difference? I am not sure it will. It is clear the military | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
think they have achieved a large part of their object, showing that | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
they rule the whole of Egypt and it does seem that part of their motives | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
is to drive the Muslim brotherhood further if you like to the | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
parameters of politics, rather than to absolute and total involvement | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
which is what the rest of the world seems to want. | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
You can keep up-to-date with the seems to want. | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
events in Egypt throughout the afternoon on the BBC News Channel. | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
The waiting is finally over for around 300,000 A-level students in | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
England, Wales and Northern around 300,000 A-level students in | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
and their results show that the overall pass rate was up slightly | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
but the number of a macro or a macro star grades was down by not .3% of | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
the second biggest fall in the history of the exams and it seems | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
the second biggest fall in the that more students are taking | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
A-levels in the sciences, maths and economics. Our education | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
correspondent Reeta Chakrabarti has been at Arthur Terry School in | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
Birmingham this morning and sent us this report. | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
It is the day of high emotion for girls and boys alike. Tears of | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
happiness were on display but there will have been private tears of | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
disappointment as well. But here at Arthur Terry School in the West | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
Midlands the overall atmosphere was very upbeat. I have got B in English | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
literacy, as the and one in fine art. I did not do as well as I | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
wanted to but I am happy with it. I have done really well, I have got | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
into university so I am happy. I did not expect it but I got in. Their | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
own destinies being decided here and all of the country and | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
own destinies being decided here and people with good grades wanting | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
higher education, this year it is a bias' market. That is because | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
universities can this year recruit bias' market. That is because | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
in limited numbers of students who get an a macro or two Bs or above. | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
It means AJ, who has done better than expected, can trade up. I | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
applied to Aston but I have got better grades so I will upgrade to a | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
better course, optometry at Aston University. Anyone who wants to | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
better course, optometry at Aston trade up or who has failed to get | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
the grades they need for university can get in touch with the call | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
centre at UCAS to find vacancies elsewhere. UCAS says numbers being | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
centre at UCAS to find vacancies accepted by university were this | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
morning up by 9% on last year. This is the biggest number that we | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
morning up by 9% on last year. This ever managed to confirm on A-level | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
results day ever before. That is partly much more efficient | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
processing here at UCAS and in admissions offices but it also means | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
there is lots of people out there admissions offices but it also means | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
who have got the results, got their confirmed place and this is a great | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
day for celebration for them. Around the UK teenagers in Northern Ireland | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
continue to do the best, with pupils in Wales coming behind those in | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
England. For the second year running in Wales coming behind those in | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
those getting the very top grades overall dipped slightly. Why? It | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
does look as if perhaps some students have been opting for the | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
more difficult A-level subjects, where it is a bit harder to get an a | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
macro or a macro star but ultimately this is down to the integrity or the | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
exam system, which we have complete confidence in. The system has | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
exam system, which we have complete smoothly so far this year of the | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
hundreds of thousands of teenagers it is the day they will never | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
forget. The number of people from Romania | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
and Bulgaria working in the UK has risen by one quarter in three | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
months, 141,000 migrants from the two countries were employed here | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
between April and June this year. Next year the laws restricting the | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
between April and June this year. type of jobs that Bulgarian and | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
Romanian is can do will be relaxed, raising concerns that thousands more | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
will come to Britain. Our home affairs correspondent Alex Forsyth | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
reports. Fruit picking and farm work, | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
seasonal jobs often taken up by temporary workers including those | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
from Romania and Bulgaria. Currently people from these EU countries face | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
restrictions when it comes towards working in the UK. They must have | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
permits all be part of agreed schemes but those restrictions will | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
be lifted at the end of the year. At this construction site in London it | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
is a welcome move. They already employ Romanians and Bulgarians and | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
plan to hire more. They are willing to turn up every day during the week | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
plan to hire more. They are willing and work at weekends and work | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
continuously for months on end. Unfortunately young British people, | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
they do tend to tail off within a couple of weeks and leave site | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
because they find it is really not per for them. Figures for recent | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
months show overall employment levels for the UK have increased but | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
the number of Romanians and Bulgarians employed here, while | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
still relatively small, has risen at a greater rate than the number of | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
workers from any other country. There were 141,000 employed from | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
April to June, a rise of 35% compared to the same three months | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
last year. Meanwhile the number of workers from across the whole of the | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
EU rose by just 5.7% for the same period. We already have a rapidly | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
growing population. Our population increased by about 400,000 last | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
growing population. Our population year. That is a new city the size of | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
Birmingham every two and a half years. An added influx from Romania | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
and Bulgaria will add to the years. An added influx from Romania | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
population increase. Some say there is like -- unlikely to be an influx | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
because this time eight other countries are relaxing their rules | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
at the same time as Britain. The government has so far refused to put | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
a figure on the number of people it government has so far refused to put | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
expects to come to the UK when the government has so far refused to put | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
labour market becomes fully open. But it is currently consulting on | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
plans to restrict migrant access to some public services, in part to | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
address fears over the impact of immigration. | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
The heat wave in July gave a big boost to retail sales figures. They | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
jumped by 1.1% compared with an increase of 0.2% the month before. | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
The sweltering temperatures prompted shoppers to stock up on barbecues, | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
food, summer clothes and alcohol, meaning the rise in sales figures | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
was far larger than expected. Compared with this time last year, | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
the figures are up by 3%, the Compared with this time last year, | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
fastest annual rise since January 2011. | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
The number of new homes being built 2011. | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
in England has gone up in the past 2011. | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
three months. Official figures show that work was started on almost | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
30,000 new homes between April and June this year, a 6% increase on the | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
previous quarter. Our chief economic correspondent Hugh Pym reports. | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
There is forward momentum in the house-building industry. Today's | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
figures for England show the number of new homes being started is on the | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
increase and after a period in the doldrums the industry is feeling | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
more confident about the future. The last three or four macro months have | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
really seen an increase in the uptake of our properties, allowing | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
some increases in price and a high level of visitors coming each | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
weekend to the development. Building companies say the government scheme | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
offering loans to buyers of new homes has helped, encouraging them | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
to launch new projects. Today's figures show the number of housing | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
starts in England was up 6% in the second quarter compared to the | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
previous three months. That means more than 110,000 was started over | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
the last year. At every year an extra 221,000 households are formed | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
partly because of population growth. One key area of the housing | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
debate is planning and the need to juggle the requirement of many | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
communities to build new homes as their economies grow and the desire | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
of some to preserve -- to preserve the green belt and stop to the | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
development. A row in Saint Albans highlights the problem. It is a town | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
with a long history and it is within commuting distance of London. House | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
prices have rocketed as buyers chased after the available housing | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
supply. The council has been taken to court by developers, who claim | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
it's falling well short of housing targets. The case has been closely | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
watched by local authorities and builders around the country. This | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
site is the battle ground. Developers say it is an obvious | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
place to build but local campaigners argue that more building will add to | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
what brought that is threatening the identities of Saint Albans and | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
neighbouring towns. I would fear the character of the town would change | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
if we saw significant developments in the green belt. If we start to | :14:55. | :15:04. | |
meld in with Watford, with Hatfield, with Radcliffe and the like, we | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
start to lose the historic significance of what the town is | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
about. Everyone wants a roof over their head but the big challenge has | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
not gone away. Finding where to build the new homes which will | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
satisfy demand and help keep a lid on prices. | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
The official death toll after the crackdown by security forces in | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
Egypt continues to rise. It stand at 525 but protestors claim the true | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
death toll runs into the thousands. And copping up, we are live on the | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
Gibraltar-Spain border. People have been waiting for up to four hours | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
this morning, just to cross the short distance into Gibraltar. | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
Later in the hour, I will have all the sport on BBC News with the | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
Wimbledon champion Bart announcing her retirement P | :16:01. | :16:13. | |
it is one of the last great gleefuld churches of England but Bath Abbey | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
has a problem, for more than 300 years thousands of people have been | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
buried just below the stone flooring in the 500-year-old building but the | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
floor has started to collapse. Revealing huge voids underneath. | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
We went to Bath Abbey to find out why. | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
Bath's magnificent Abbey looks as strong and stable as it could | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
possibly be, but over the last few years, the staff here have been wear | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
of a problem. Over the centuries, thousands of bodies have been buried | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
down there, and as they have decomposed and turned to dust, it | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
has created gaps in the floor which means that part of the floor is | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
becoming unstable, and has started to sag. | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
So, area by area, they are beginning the process of digging down | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
So, area by area, they are beginning stabilising the floor of the Abbey. | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
Charles is overseeing it as project manager. Explain what state is this | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
ground in? Under the floor here it was like a cheese, honey comb. Holes | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
ground in? Under the floor here it a metre or so across, what we are | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
doing is to stabilise the floor to provide a level floor that will be | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
doing is to stabilise the floor to good for the next 200 years. 6,000 | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
bodies in here, some people might find it disrespectful the idea of | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
digging them up What we are doing is carefully removing any bone, putting | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
them to one side and as we rebuild the floor, we will reinterthe bones | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
and say a prayer over them, and then build the floor back up. What is | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
more exciting is what we are finding by happen chance n the side wall of | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
the Abbey, when they built this building, they, in the 1480s, they | :17:57. | :18:04. | |
reused the Norman and Roman stone. We are fining beautiful carvings | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
which we had no idea was there and we will do all we can do to enable | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
the public to see in the future. Thank you. Once it is stabilised, | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
they will put in underfloor heating but this will be different. It will | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
be using the natural hot but this will be different. It will | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
water that this city of Bath is famous for. | :18:21. | :18:28. | |
Now, the number of organ transplants carried out in the UK has reached a | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
record high. There were over 4200 operations last year. 6% more than | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
record high. There were over 4200 the year before. Our health | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
correspondent is in Liverpool for the year before. Our health | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
now. Do we know what is behind the increase? We do. Welcome to the | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
royal Liverpool University Hospital transplant unit, here they | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
specialise in kidney transplant, over the last year or so, they | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
carried out nearly 100 operation, and they have seen a steady growth | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
over the recent years, in the number of transplants they are carrying | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
out. That is a trend that has been seen across the United Kingdom, so | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
4212 transplants carried out in the last year, 6% more than the previous | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
year. Of course, you can't have transplants without donors and we | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
found out in April they there has been a 50 pierce increase in the | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
number compared to 2008. That is down to the work of specialist | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
nurses who work with bereaved families in hospitals. But the NHS | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
is warning there are still more than 7,000 people waiting for a | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
transplant, there is a lot more work to do, and they point out more than | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
400 people died while waiting for a transplant last year. So they say | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
400 people died while waiting for a more donors are still needed, but | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
this is a good news story. Thank you. | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
UKIP's party treasurer has said that women's failure to beat men in | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
sports where they are not physically disadvantaged suggests that | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
companies should not be forced to hand them places on boards. His | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
comments were made when discussing when quota quotas to be issued to | :20:05. | :20:12. | |
force businesses to employ more women. Motorists in Spain have been | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
force businesses to employ more queueing for up to four hours this | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
morning, to cross the border into Gibraltar, because of police check, | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
normally it takes just 20 minutes. The Spanish foreign ministry says it | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
is completely necessary in the wake of increased smuggling of to be deat | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
the border but it comes at a time of diplomatic tension between the | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
Spanish and British Governments over the territory. Our Madrid | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
correspondent is there now. No sign this dispute is going to be | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
resolved soon. Lets us show you the border between southern Spain and | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
Gibraltar. The police there this morning have been putting rigorous | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
checks into place, the most rigorous I I have seen since I have been | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
checks into place, the most rigorous here, we will show you the queue. It | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
starts here at the point, and if you just turn round here, you go round | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
the corner, you can see tourist bus, so that contributes to the traffic, | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
but if we just keep back here and we might be able to zoom down and begin | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
to show you how far it goes back, now, I am not sure now, where the | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
to show you how far it goes back, queue finishes but people have been | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
telling us they have been waiting up to four hours this morning, I have | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
spoken to the Spanish Government, they say the checks are necessary | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
spoken to the Spanish Government, because of the amount of tobacco | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
that is smuggled over from the border from Spain, into jiby and | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
sorry Gibraltar into Spain -- Gibraltar, we were going to see if | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
we can speak to one of these people. How long have you waited? This man | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
had only waited for an hour. Not saying he has but some people have | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
been jumping the queue. Tempers have frayed. We have had reports of | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
violence back in the queue. People have been getting fed up and angry. | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
violence back in the queue. People There is no sign this dispute | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
between Spain and Gibraltar is anywhere near being resolved. | :21:58. | :22:07. | |

By skydiving above the Olympic Stadium, Mark Sutton gave us one of | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
the most thrilling moments of the London 2012 Opening Ceremony. | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
Alongside fellow stunt manned Gary Connery dresses a the Queen, the | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
pair demonstrated exceptional skill. But yesterday, just over a year on, | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
Mark Sutton died in Switzerland. Another crazy edge. Mark, seen here | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
in red, hiking with Gary on a previous expedition was described by | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
his friend as smart, articulate and funny. The 42-year-old was taking | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
part in a jump similar to this in the Swiss Alps. He was wearing an | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
aerodynamic wing suit, designed to the Swiss Alps. He was wearing an | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
help his glide at high speed. It is thought he crashed into a ridge. | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
Swiss police described him as one of thought he crashed into a ridge. | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
the 20 best wing suit specialists in the world. His family is said to be | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
devastated by their loss. Now, less than six weeks' ago she | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
was the toast of Wimbledon, after becoming the new ladies champion, | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
but now Marion Bartoli says she is quitting professional tennis with | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
immediate effect. The 28-year-old who is ranked in the world was in | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
tears as she announced her shock decision at a tournament in America, | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
but she said being plagued by injuries meant she was in constant | :23:54. | :24:02. | |
pain when she played. Only last month she was on top of the world. | :24:02. | :24:11. | |
She is unique. She is Wimbledon champion as well. | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
But Marion Bartoli, the surprise story at the All England Club has | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
shocked tennis again by emotionally announcing her retirement after the | :24:20. | :24:32. | |
French player lost in America. It is time for me to retire, and it | :24:32. | :24:50. | |
is time for me to... Aged 28, Marion Bartoli decided to call it a day | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
after struggling with a succession of injuries that have become | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
increasingly obvious. I have been doing this for so long, | :24:58. | :25:06. | |
and it just, I just can't do it any more. | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
and it just, I just can't do it any Marion Bartoli's tears of joy, | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
having won Wimbledon charmed tennis fans across the world. You know, I | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
having won Wimbledon charmed tennis said it is all good. I dreamed about | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
this moment for so long. Having such a record by winning her first Grand | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
Slam at the attempt she won't have the opportunity to defend the title | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
she waited so long to claim. Time for a look at the weather. | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
We have a fairly humid feel to the Time for a look at the weather. | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
weather today. For most we started off cloudy. There will be rain | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
working into western parts, but elsewhere, the skies gradually | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
brightening up a bit as we head through. Take a look at the | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
satellite picture. It is moving into the west that will bring the wet | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
weather but in the Atlantic, to the east coast of Canada, there is an | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
area of low pressure that will deepen and bring wetteth we -- | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
weather to pars of the British Isles. | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
There could be sharp showers for the North East of the country. | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
Heavy outbreaks of rain and that rain will sweep across the Irish | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
Sea, to bring wet weather to north-west England, to western Wales | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
and we will probably start to see a few showers developing in a line | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
from Devon, across the high ground of Wiltshire, the Cotswolds on to | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
the Chilterns and running up to parts of the Wash. Elsewhere in | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
England the weather stays parts of the Wash. Elsewhere in | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
dry with more sunshine. Overnight the weather front continues to slide | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
south and eastwards, bringing hefty falls of rain to Cumbria and West | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
Wales and it will feel humid. Temperatures 16, 17 degrees but | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
fresher weather getting into Scotland and Northern Ireland. Here | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
it should be a fine start to the day with sunny spells, and a few showers | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
on a brisk wind. The remains of the weather front in East Anglia and | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
south-east England, bringing damp weather in, the rain probably | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
turning showerry, elsewhere we will start to see sunny spells. It will | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
feel fresher, temperatures into the low 20s. The weekend, this weather | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
chart would be more what we would see in autumn, rather than August, | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
deep area of low pressure heading into the north-west of Scotland, | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
bringing in prolonged spells of rain to the north-west and near gale | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
force winds as well. The rain band as it swings there will last round | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
three or four hours, that is all the rain you can expect, so it is not a | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
wash out. In East Anglia and the south-east the weathershould | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
brighten up for a time. Temperatures again into the low 20, 22 or so | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
where we see the brightest of the weather. The Premier League starts | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
this Saturday. It doesn't take long to come round. A bit of cloud round | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
in England but at least it stays dry and Arsenal take on Aston Villa. But | :27:47. | :27:52. | |
there will be evening rain. That rain will swing through overnight | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
and leave us with a reasonable day on Sunday. A few showers blowing in | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
on a bris wind, with temperatures into the upper teens or low 20s. It | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
is not looking too bad. If you want a full five day weather forecast, | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
you can find out more on line. Thank you. P A reminder of the main | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
story this lunchtime. The official death toll after | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
yesterday's crackdown by security forces in Egypt now stands at 525. | :28:18. | :28:24. | |

Still to come, more on events in Cairo, including reports since we | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
have been on air that hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood supporters have | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
