In Egypt, more violence as the official death toll from fighting

between the security forces and Islamist protesters climbs. The

authorities now say more than 500 Islamist protesters climbs. The

people work building yesterday's lashes. The Muslim Brotherhood says

the figure was much higher. Demonstrators stormed a government

building amid international condemnation of the Egyptian

authorities. Our traditional cooperation cannot continue as usual

when civilians are cooperation cannot continue as usual

when civilians being killed in the streets.

Also tonight, Dave Lee Travis, the former radio one DJ, is charged with

sexual offences. The charges cover a 30 year period, with allegations

sexual offences. The charges cover a that the youngest victim was 15.

A-level results are out. The proportion of students getting the

top grades falls again, but the overall pass rate is up.

The number of Romanians and Bulgarians working in Britain jumps

by a third compared to last year. The multi-billion pound Premier

League takes off again this weekend, but is all that cash good for the

game? Coming up in sport on BBC News,

Olympic bronze medallist Robbie Grabarz goes for gold in the high

jump at the World Championships. We will round up all today's action on

day six. Good evening from Cairo, where there

has been a sharp rise in the official death toll from

yesterday's clashes between the security forces and supporters of

the ousted Islamist president. At least 525 people are now known to

have been killed and more than 3000 least 525 people are now known to

were injured. Today, there was more violence as some demonstrators vowed

to continue their fight. Every few minutes at Cairo's mosque

here, mourners bring out another body. They believe that their dead

are proof of a massacre. First of all, all the people inside are ours.

I am not from the Muslim Brotherhood, I am one of the

Muslims. I lost my friend, 23 years old. He had three kids. He was a

very good guy. The martyrs died for religion and their rights, they

chant. This is the entrance to the makeshift morgue, and people here

are desperately trying to get inside to identify the bodies of their

relatives. Some of them have documentation to prove who they are,

and they are desperate to get in. This man tries to clear a path for a

body to be taken out. At another door, this group tries to get inside

the mosque with an empty coffin. Here, dozens of bodies have been

laid out on the carpets. We will not show you the details. Family members

keep watch by the bodies. TRANSLATION: My son was in a

peaceful sit in, defending his cause, defending his vote, defending

freedom, and they shot him with a bullet in his heart. The military

and the police station snipers on the roofs of buildings, and they

shot him in the heart. Many are still stunned by what has happened.

This man lost his brother. In another part of Cairo, the police

have very their own dead -- they have buried their own dead. These

have very their own dead -- they mourners represent Egypt's other

side. They are those who believe the military has saved the country from

dictatorial Islamic rule. Some Islamists who have lost power have

decided to fight back. In Cairo's suburb of Giza, supporters of the

deposed president attacked local buildings. They promise further

demonstrations. Today Barack Obama condemned the

steps taken by the Egyptian authorities and cancelled military

exercises with Egypt. There are concerns tonight around the world

that the country is sliding into concerns tonight around the world

even greater violence. Our diplomatic correspondent reports on

what comes next for the international community, the

military and the Islamists. As the scale of the budget in Egypt

becomes clearer, earlier dreams of a country on a road to democracy waste

of consensus are in ruins. Governments around the world have

wrestled with their own dilemmas, how to react and whose side they are

on. So international pressure on Egypt's military has been carefully

considered. President Obama condemned the violence against

civilians and cancelled joint US - Egyptian military exercises June

next month. We have sustained our commitment to Egypt and its people,

but while we want to sustain our relationship with Egypt, our

traditional cooperation cannot continue as usual when civilians are

being killed in the streets and rights are being rolled back. But

that does not mean the United States will stop long-term funding for

Egypt's military. America wants to keep Egypt as an ally, especially in

the Middle East peace process. Here at the Foreign Office, Egypt's

ambassador was summoned to be told Britain condemned the use of force

to clear the protests. Similar messages were delivered by many

European governments, but the harder part is deciding whether any active

sanctions should be applied, perhaps suspending EU aid and trade deals

with Egypt. Would that make a difference? Egypt's military defied

all the international pressure piled on over recent weeks not to use

overwhelming force against the protesters hacking former President

Morsi. It is clear that the interim government in Egypt is going to

tough it out and defend their tactics around the world. What the

Egyptian government and the police did is an obligation from

Egyptian government and the police towards its people to defend their

interests and protect them. Where does this leave the Muslim

Brotherhood, the main victims of the violence? Six weeks ago, when their

President Morsi was deposed by the military, they were allowed to rally

and demand his reinstatement. Now they have been driven off the

streets, and a spokesman is warning that the bloodshed means that anger

is beyond control. Let's turn now to our Middle East

editor Jeremy Bowen, who is also here in Cairo. What is your sense of

the effect of the events of the last day and a half on public opinion in

Egypt? There shock on the side of people who support the Muslim

Brotherhood, anger as well. On the side of those who sympathise with

Brotherhood, anger as well. On the the security forces, there is quite

a bit of satisfaction. I saw people celebrating. This country is more

divided than ever. But neither side is monolithic. There is a spectrum

of opinion. The people towards the middle are concerned about the

killing of civilians. I met a man at the ruins of the gutted, burnt out

ruins of the Rabaa mosque, where the Muslim Brotherhood have been holding

their sit in, and he said, I saw civilians being killed on the

streets by security forces. He said, I don't support resident Morsi or

the Muslim Brotherhood, but that is no way to build a country, a country

which wanted to stop these kinds of things. There is a fear of the

security state coming back, and if the violence continues, fear that

the civil conflict may eventually turn into some kind of civil war.

I will have more from Cairo later in the programme.

The former Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis has been charged with 11

counts of indecent assault and one Travis has been charged with 11

count of sexual assault. It follows an investigation by detectives from

Operation Yewtree, the enquiry set up a Scotland Yard after the Jimmy

Savile scandal. The alleged offences cover a period of 30 years, ending

in 2007. Dave Lee Travis, leaving home this

morning, ready to learn his fate. After months on bail, he was heading

to a police station in London to be told he was being charged with sex

offences which allegedly happened over a 30 year period. He was

charged under his real name, David Griffin.

When he was first arrested last November, he was emphatic that the

allegations concerned adult women. So you have a categorical denial

about children. That is set in concrete. He was rearrested after

new claims surfaced. The youngest of his nine accusers was 15 when it is

claimed he twice indecently assaulted her. He was one of the

stalwarts of Radio 1, a generation grew up listening to his shows. He

had been at the station from its earliest days, here standing next to

Jimmy Savile. It was saddled's years of sex offending which led to the

Jimmy Savile. It was saddled's years setting up of the police Operation

Yewtree under which Dave Lee Travis was detained. His arrest was not

linked to Savile. Welcome to Top Of The Pops. Presenting shows like

this, DLT, as he was known, became a familiar TV face. Last summer, he

was back at the BBC for a visit at the Burmese opposition leader and

son Suji. She had been a fan of his World Service radio show when under

house arrest. Tonight the DJ's lawyer said he was disappointed and

surprised to be charged, and he denied the allegations.

A-level students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland got their

results today. Overall, the pass rate is up. But for the second year

in a row, there has been a slight fall in the proportion of students

getting the very top grades of A or A*.

It is a day of high emotion for girls and boys alike. Tears of

happiness were on display, but there will have in private tears of

disappointment as well. Here at Arthur Terry School in the Midlands,

the overall atmosphere was up beat. I got a B in English literature, a C

in history and a B in fine art. I did not do as well as I wanted, but

I got in, so every cloud has a silver lining. The results

nationally show a mixed bit. The overall pass rate rose slightly to

98.1%, but the proportion of top A and A* grades went down by 0.3%.

Meanwhile, more pupils are taking A-levels in the sciences, maths and

economics. Destinies are being decided here and all over the

country, but this year it is a higher's market for young people

with good grades who want higher education. That is because

universities this year can recruit unlimited numbers of students who

get an A and two Bs or above. It means AJ, who did better than

expected, can trade up. I initially applied for biomed at Aston, but

because I got better grades, I will upgrade to a better course in

because I got better grades, I will optometry at Aston University. And

universities are actively chasing good applicants like AJ. That is why

a sought-after university like Birmingham has gone into clearing,

which is traditionally for those who have missed their grades. With this

letter macro B B threshold, there is the fix ability to recruit as many

students as we wish. That means a number of universities, knowing

there are many well-qualified applicants out there, have gone into

clearing to give them your virginity to study at an outstanding

university. Around the UK, teenagers -- they have gone into clearing to

give them the opportunity to study at an outstanding University. But

pass rates have slightly. Why? It does look as if perhaps, some

students have been opting for the more difficult A-level subjects. But

ultimately, this is down to the integrity of the exam system. The

system has so far worked smoothly, and for thousands of teenagers, it

is a day they will never forget. The stuntman who parachuted into the

London 2012 London openings are many as James Bond has been killed in an

accident. Mark Sutton died while wingsuit flying near Switzerland

yesterday. He doubled for Daniel Craig was my James Bond as he and a

stuntman playing the Queen job from a helicopter over the Olympic

Stadium last summer. Motorists trying to cross the border

from Spain into Gibraltar have faced queues as long as four hours at one

point today. The Spanish Foreign Ministry says the checks are

necessary in the wake of increased smuggling across the border, but it

comes at a time of increasing diplomatic tension between the

Spanish and British governance. There has been a significant jump in

the number of Romanians and Bulgarians working in the UK in the

last month, up by a third. Migration Watch, which calls for controls on

immigrants, said numbers are not sustainable. As Alex Forsyth

reports, the laws restricting the type of jobs that Bulgarians and

Romanians can take when they come here will be relaxed next year.

It is a way to earn a living for Romanians and Borg Aryans, such as

these at a farm near York -- Bulgarians. Fruit picking in the UK

pays better than work at home. In Romania, we get 80p per hour. In

England, it is £6. It is a huge difference. And it is not just

seasonal jobs. Speak many construction workers have come here

permanently to build a life. I came here because I know London is full

of opportunities for young generations. Figures show overall

employment levels for the UK have increased but the number of

Romanians and Borg Aryans employed here, while still relatively small,

has risen at a greater rate than workers from any other country --

Bulgarians. There were 141,000 Romanians and Bulgarians employed in

the UK between April and June this year, a 35% increase from the same

time last year. Bulgarians and Romanians have had the right to Visa

free travel to the UK since 2007, when their countries joined the EU,

but they have to have a permit to work or be part of a government

approved scheme. These restrictions will be lifted at the end of the

year in accordance with EU rules, raising concerns that thousands more

will come to Britain. We already have a rapidly growing population,

it increased by around 400,000 last year, a new city the size of

Birmingham every two and a half years and an added influx will only

add to that increase. It is not just Britain relaxing its rules. Eight

other countries are also lifting restrictions on Romanian and

Bulgarian workers. Some say it is a different picture now than when ten

countries, including Poland, joined the EU in 2004. There is going to be

a big migration from Romania and Bulgaria, particularly with the

large economic differences between the countries, but on the other

hand, they have had access to the UK market for 70 years, so in that case

it is not so big. The Home Office is planning to restrict migrant access

to some services, to address concerns over the wider impact of

all immigration. Despite calls from Labour, the Government will not

predict how many Romanians and Bulgarians will come to the UK when

the labour market is fully opened. It says it is too speculative and

they will only know for sure once the rules changed in January.

And the time is nearly 6:18pm. The top story. More violence in

Egypt as the official death toll between -- after fighting between

protesters and the Army client. And coming up, we hear from Hannah

Smith, her father and the row about cyber bullying.

Coming up on BBC News, just 40 days after winning at Wimbledon and her

first Grand Slams success, Marion Bartoli announces her retirement

from tennis due to injury. Believe it or not, the new season of

the English Premier League gets underway on Saturday. And thanks to

increased revenues from the sale of television broadcasting rights - as

much as £5.5 billion - there's more money in the game than ever before.

But is all that cash good for the game? Natalie Pirks reports.

Here at Old Trafford, the home of game? Natalie Pirks reports.

last year's Premier League champions, they are getting ready

for another instalment of the richest football competition in the

world, but this year, as the Premier League brand reaches further across

the globe, it has got even richer. It is mostly down to what the

broadcasters are willing to spend to It is mostly down to what the

show the action. For the next three seasons, the new domestic

broadcasting deal is worth over £3 billion, up on the old deal by an

astonishing 1.2 5 billion. And if you add in the international media

rights, that shows it passed an eye watering by 5p. -- £5.5 billion.

Today, the chief executive argued the additional money gave the

English clubs an advantage over international rivals. What stands

aside from the rest is the competitiveness, our clubs can beat

any other club. Economically, these 20 clubs will be the top in the

world in terms of income, in the top 35, which allows them to put our

teams which can beat any other team. The club finishing last this season

can expect their earnings to go up to around £40 million, which is what

Queens Park Rangers earned when they were relegated, to around £63

million, more than Manchester United earned from winning the league.

Whoever is crowned champions next season, their earnings will go up to

around £100 million, but the exact amount is dependent on how many of

their matches are actually televised. So is all this extra cash

actually good for the game? Some fans argue that despite the extra

income, ticket prices are still going up. If you look at the average

lowest priced adult season ticket is coming season for the Premier

League, it is over £,500. That is an increase on last year. Watching the

Premier League in action is pricier than ever. He looks for van Persie.

And van Persie thrashes it home. Also, there is an argument that it

is creating a gulf between the teams in the Premier League and the rest

of English football. The TV deal for the football league is worth just

3.5% of the Premier League's new deal. Football league teams also

received £240 million in solidarity payments, but are back, 177 million

will be reserved for relegated clubs in the form of so-called parachute

payments. Many of those in the lower divisions argue that this has made

it difficult for them to compete with former Premier League clubs.

Whatever the consequences of the Premier League's growing wealth, you

can be certain that when the season kicks off at the weekend, the

balance sheet will be at least as important as the team sheet.

The father of Hannah Smith, who was found dead two weeks ago after

alleged cyber bullying, has told the BBC the law needs to be changed to

prevent online abuse. David Smith says online chat sites shouldn't be

allowed to operate if they don't have the correct safety measures in

place. David Cameron, who says there is already legislation to deal with

internet bullying, has written to Mr is already legislation to deal with

Smith, promising the Government is taking the issue very seriously.

Sian Lloyd reports. Hannah Smith was a bubbly, bright

14-year-old. In the fortnight since she died, her name has rarely been

out of the headlines. Her father claims cyber bullies had driven his

daughter to take her own life. Reports followed in the press that

daughter to take her own life. she may have sent some of the

messages herself. I think somebody was abusing her online, and abusing

her quite a lot. And I think that Thursday night, somebody had just

pushed her over the edge. There were no signs to say that Hannah was

going to do this. She was happy, she used to sit down here for her tea

every night, always smiling. There were absolutely no signs whatsoever

that Hannah was going to commit suicide. Could you even foresee that

she would send any messages like that herself? No. No, I couldn't.

Hannah used the Latvian -based social media site Ask.fm, where

members can remain anonymous. The company said it is committed to

ensuring a safe environment and has asked the firm of solicitors to look

at its safety features. The laws are not good enough in this country to

protect our teenagers. And if the laws do not change, we are going to

end up with a lot more teenagers being buried. I think Ask.fm need to

get their finger out and sort this out or disappear. I would prefer

them to just disappear after the grief they have caused me. Tonight,

Hannah's family are preparing to say goodbye to a daughter and sister.

Hannah's family are preparing to say Her funeral will be held tomorrow.

14 people are reported dead and more than 200 injured in a large

explosion in the Lebanese capital Beirut. The blast occurred in a

southern suburb of the city which contains stronghold of the movement

Hezbollah. It comes as a conflict in neighbouring Syria has raised

tensions between Shia and Sunni Muslims.

The Treasurer of UKIP has denied being sexist by saying women were

"nowhere near as good as men" at being sexist by saying women were

games like chess, bridge and poker. Stuart Wheeler made the comment

during a debate on EU proposals for gender quotas in the boardroom. Mr

Wheeler said he had been explaining why companies should not be forced

to appoint more women to their boards. He has denied suggesting men

were more intelligent than women. The heatwave in July gave a big

boost to retail sales figures. They jumped by 1.1%, compared with an

increase of 0.2% the month before. Shoppers stocked up on barbeques,

food, summer clothes and alcohol. Compared with this time last year

the figures are up by 3%, the fastest annual rise since January

2011. More now on our main news, the

continuing violence in Egypt. Today, the official death toll climbed to

525, as some of the protesters vowed to continue their fight. While we

have been on air, supporters of the deposed President Mohamed Morsi have

again taken to the streets in protest in the Egyptian city of

Alexandria, as a curfew is about to protest in the Egyptian city of

be imposed. Let's talk again to Mishal Husain, who is in Cairo. What

is the overriding sense you get when you talk to ordinary people on the

street there in Cairo? You know, when I arrived here, I was

very struck by the gulf between all about international condemnation and

the headlines in Egypt, where there was an almost unanimous view

expressed that the army had done the right thing. But I spent the day

outside that Cairo mosque where the worst of the bloodshed

outside that Cairo mosque where the and people are coming forward to

express disquiet and anger about what happened there. One woman came

up to me and said she was not a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood

but she was here at the camp, and even if they had been camped here

for two years rather than six weeks, they didn't deserve to die.

for two years rather than six For Egyptians, this is a painful

time, a volatile time and a fee broil time, but also an emotional

one, because there is a lot of fear about what the future holds --

afebrile. Time for a look at the weather.

Here's John Hammond. We are going to have to take the

rough with the smooth over the next few days. First the rub, in the form

of some rain, because it is turning wet across western part of the UK,

rain coming across Northern Ireland, pushing into southern Scotland. This

rain is causing some problems, particularly as it gets into parts

of north-west England and north-west Wales. Cumbria and Snowdonia could

see a lot of rain, causing some minor impacts through the night.

This rain will then slump its way down towards the south-east but will

tend to fragment, so not as heavy by the time it reaches parts of

southern England. Behind that, it clears up and as we reached dawn, it

will feel fresher across northern parts of the UK. Muddy across the

south. This will linger across parts of southern parts of England and

East Anglia across the bay. It will break into showers but a lot of

cloud compared to other areas. At four o'clock in the afternoon, it

should brighten up across south-west England but its stays rather cloudy

across the far south-east, keeping the temperatures down. But

temperatures will bounce back across the Midlands, as the sun comes out

through the afternoon, mostly the Midlands, as the sun comes out

and bright but showers will crop up in the north, particularly Northern

Ireland and Scotland. But even then, there will be some sunshine to enjoy

and enjoy it you should, because look at the picture of a Saturday.

Wet and windy in Northern Ireland and Scotland and that pushes

steadily eastwards and will take much of the date for the rain to

arrive in East Anglia. And it doesn't arrive, the system will

clear through -- it doesn't hang around. A brisk north and north and

north-westerly wind. We'll see some sunshine on Sunday, but many places

bright and breezy and some showers scattered around the north and

west. So up and then, rough and smooth.

John, thanks very much. A reminder of our main story:

A reminder of our More violence in Egypt, as the

official death toll from fighting between the security forces and

protesters climbs. That's all from the BBC News at Six.

It's goodbye from me and on BBC One, we now join the
