still shocked, but we also see a Norway which is really unified and | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
where people are standing together. We will be examining the killer's | :00:48. | :00:51. | |

Good evening. Hundreds of thousands of Norwegians have taken to the | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
streets this evening in a show of national unity after the weekend | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
massacre. In his court appearance, held behind closed doors, Anders | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Behring Breivik admitted carrying out the double attack but pleaded | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
not guilty to murder. He said that he wanted to send a sharp signal | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
about what he calls the Muslim takeover of Norway and Europe. He | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
claimed to have links with two other underground cells. First | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
tonight, Europe editor Gavin Hewitt reports from Oslo. | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
This was the moment when a man accused of Norway's mass killings | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
headed to court. Anders Behring Breivik, wearing a dark red top, | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
sat next to police officers. Outside the court house, crowds had | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
gathered, most of them fiercely opposed to Breivik being able to | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
use his court appearance as a platform for his views, as he | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
himself had wanted. Do not give him attention, keep the doors closed. | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
It should not be an open hearing, this is what he wants, and I do not | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
see why we should let him have his way. Breivik had actually asked | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
police if he could wear a black uniform to court, but they said no. | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
Lines formed to go inside the courtroom, but the police opposed | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
an open hearing, fearful that Breivik might use it to send | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
signals to others, and the judge agreed that it should be a closed | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
session. In court, Breivik was told he would be held in solitary | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
confinement for four weeks, no visitors, no letters, no newspapers. | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
His next court appearance will be in eight weeks' time. Later, the | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
judge revealed what Breivik himself had told the court. He said the | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
goal of his attack was to send a strong signal to the people. Also, | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
he said, he wanted to save Western Europe from a Muslim takeover, and | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
he wanted to prevent future recruitment to the Labour Party, | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
which he said had betrayed the country. | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
As to his mood in a court, this is what his lawyer told me. | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
How was your client in court today? Calm. Calm? | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
As he was driven away from the court, Breivik left the police that | :04:01. | :04:09. | |
a major you are on investigation. - - with a major you are or of | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
investigation. He claimed to belong to an organisation with two active | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
cells. The police say they cannot rule out others being involved. | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
It has emerged that Breivik's name was in the intelligence services' | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
files. TRANSLATION: Was not on a list of right-wing extremists, but | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
we have looked into archives, where we have an enormous amount of | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
information, and we found his name was. They have records of them by | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
chemicals in Poland, but they have not followed the information are. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
Close to the time of the court appearance, Norway held a minute's | :04:43. | :04:53. | |
Across the country, people stood quietly. Out on the lake, they are | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
still searching for the missing, although they have revised | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
downwards the number of those killed two 76. In the chaos, some | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
of the bodies were counted twice. But the Faces of some of the | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
missing still peer out from the newspapers, all of them young | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
people attending a summer camp. People on the streets today spoke | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
of innocence lost, of a shadow falling across the country. | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
people of Norway are in deep grief. They are still shocked. But we also | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
see a Norway which is very unified and where people are standing | :05:28. | :05:36. | |
Tonight, rescue workers walked through the capital. People lined | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
the streets and applauded them. Even as Oslo remembered these days | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
of tragedy, the police said that the man who has admitted the | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
killings was reported to be unaffected by events, clinging to | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
his distorted believe that he needed to shake up his country. | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
-- belief. The father of Anders Behring | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
Breivik has spoken for the first time since the attacks. He said it | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
would have been better if his son had killed and stopped. One by one, | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
his victims are being named. The first was a student from the city | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
of Lurgan. Tora Eikeland was 21. James Robbins reports from his home | :06:18. | :06:26. | |
In the shadow of mountains and rain cloud, it seems most of the people | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
of Birkenau have come out to share intense emotions. The glass but | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
also defies. Norway's second city is morning several of its children. | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
-- deeper loss but also defines. The only one named so far was 21 | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
years old. Tora Eikeland was a high-flyer, a youth leader in this | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
region of the governing Labour party. For one of his former | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
teachers, the death is hard to bear. If he died anyway close to the way | :06:58. | :07:07. | |
he lived, he would not be the first to run unless, you know, I think he | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
would have been one of those trying to make a difference. It is only | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
later that the teacher tells me he expects more by the news to come. | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
have got two of my pupils that are still missing. At their head of the | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
procession, government ministers were flown up from Oslo, the local | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
Labour leader grieving for the loss of so many of the party's next | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
generation. We will live, and we will be strong again, but right now | :07:41. | :07:49. | |
it feels like a huge loss to miss so many young people and so many | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
young leaders. Norwegians tells me that torchlight processions have a | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
special significance for them in winter, fighting against the almost | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
continuous darkness. Now they feel as if they are fighting a different | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
sort of darkness, one over which they say they will definitely | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
prevail. But no way's agony is far from over. Most victims have still | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
not been named. More dark days lie ahead. | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
Let's get a late is now from Gavin in Oslo. I can see the show of | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
unity going on behind you, but presumably at some point people are | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
going to start asking questions about how this happened. Absolutely, | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
George, and it has been another day of mourning, and there are still | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
thousands on the streets tonight holding vigil. It has also been the | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
day that Breivik appeared in court, but there are longer term, more | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
serious questions that have to be asked, although I do not think now | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
is the time to ask them. The mood is not quite right. But why, for | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
instance, did it take police so long to arrive on the island, | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
giving the gunman 90 minutes to continue his shooting spree? And | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
also, perhaps the most serious question that has to be asked, | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
where it is hatred that drove his gunmen, where did it spring from in | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
a society that is so prosperous? And how many other people may be | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
tempted to hold similar views? These will be questions that down | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
the road this society, so traumatised at the moment, will | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
have to try and answer. George. Gavin, thank you. Here it has | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
emerged that Anders Breivik may have had contact with British far | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
right groups. He says he met extremists here nine years ago and | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
claims to have had links with the English Defence League. Home | :09:41. | :09:48. | |
affairs correspondent Tom Symonds In the hours before the killing, it | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
is believed Anders Breivik posted this video on the internet. It | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
illustrates his apparent anger at Europe's multiculturalism, but did | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
he act alone, or did others help form and his hatred? This is the | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
written manifesto that Breivik left in his wake. For some reason, he | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
gave himself an English pen name and a London byline. The English | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
Defence League, which opposes Islamic extremism, but has | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
condemned the Norway attacks, is repeatedly mentioned. At one point, | :10:22. | :10:32. | |
:10:32. | :10:35. | ||
Although he also claimed he had ideological differences with that | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
organisation, tonight anti-fascist campaigners say they are preparing | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
to publish evidence of his involvement. He had direct contact | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
with people in the EDL. We should take these links seriously, because | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
what inspired him to do what he did in Norway is inspiring the EDL | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
supporters in the UK. The Prime Minister said the Norwegian | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
atrocities raised many questions. We are doing everything we possibly | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
can to understand who these people are, what the threat Levellers. | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
There is already an effective unit in the Metropolitan Police, but we | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
have come to build this up and do even more to make sure we keep | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
ourselves safe from these fanatics. Breivik's manifesto also suggests | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
he was a member of a more mysterious far-right group inspired | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
by the Knights Templar, 12th century Crusaders. In his own words, | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
it formed at a 2002 meeting in Britain at which those he calls | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
cell commanders were trained to take part in a cultural | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
conservative anti-jihad movement, a long-term struggle that would last | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
for generations with an attack every five to 12 years. It is | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
possible that meeting in this country nine years ago was where | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
the seeds of his atrocity were sown. Other news now, and a postmortem | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
carried out on the body of Amy Winehouse, who was found dead at | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
her home on Saturday, has failed to establish a cause of death. Further | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
toxicology tests are now being carried out. Earlier today, the | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
singer's parents visited her flat in north London. Her father told | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
people there that their presence had helped the family deal with | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
their loss. By Amy was about one thing, and that was love, | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
throughout her whole life, she was devoted to her family and her | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
friends and to you guys as well, so we are devastated and speechless. | :12:30. | :12:34. | |

Ethiopia and Somalia. There is a long-running conflict in Somalia | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
between pro-government forces and the Islamist rebels, Al-Shabab. | :13:03. | :13:13. | |

Africa correspondent Andrew Harding Clouds over Somalia but no rain. We | :13:13. | :13:23. | |
are heading to a region close to Gunmen on the grounds, but these | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
men work for Somalia's government, backed by the West. They control a | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
small pocket of territory here which has become a magnet for | :13:31. | :13:41. | |
:13:41. | :13:43. | ||
families desperate for food and First, we see some makeshift camps | :13:43. | :13:53. | |
:13:53. | :13:55. | ||
in the wilderness, then the latest arrivals. The Nour family got here | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
a few hours ago escaping from a town controlled by the militant | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
Islamist group Al-Shabab. They're exhausted but count themselves | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
lucky. TRANSLATION: They're killing people | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
at home. Al-Shabab are preventing aid from reaching our area. That's | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
why we had to flee. Those left behind will die. There is food here. | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
Foreign aid is starting to arrive inside Somalia itself. So what have | :14:27. | :14:35. | |
you been given here? Some sugar and sourgum. How long will that feed | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
your family? She says ten days. It's progress, but it's patchy. The | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
battle now is to stop more people fleeing their homes by getting aid | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
directly into the heart of Somalia's famine zone. That's not | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
impossible, but because of Al- Shabab, it's slow, complicated and | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
very dangerous. It's also imperative, with the | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
famine set to spread and the refugee camps overloaded. Western | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
aid officials are exploring every option. This idea that Al-Shabab | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
areas are no-go zones - it's not true? Categorically not true. We | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
already have evidence of organisations that have never left | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
Somalia that they're able to expand their operations, and I am | :15:20. | :15:30. | |
:15:30. | :15:30. | ||
confident that as long as we rely on experienced organisations and on | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
the way the chiefs are determined to help their communities, we can | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
help many people inside Somalia. a race has begun here to reach | :15:40. | :15:50. | |
:15:50. | :15:50. | ||
those unable to escape the famine, And coming up on tonight's | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
programme: The New York hotel maid who's | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn of rape speaks out. I want him to go | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
to jail. I want him to know, you cannot use your power when you do | :16:03. | :16:10. | |
something like this. With just a week to go before the | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
US Government hits its official debt ceiling, efforts to resolve | :16:12. | :16:20. | |
the crisis remain deadlocked. Tonight the Republican leadership | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
in Congress tabled its plan for spending cuts. President Obama says | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
spending cuts alone are not the way to reduce the deficit and he is to | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
make a television address to the nation later tonight. Our economics | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
editor Stephanie Flanders is here. People always say these things will | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
be all right on the night, but how serious has this standoff been? | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
People have been saying because it's so serious, because the | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
consequences could be so severe of the US reaching its debt limit | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
without a deal, we have always assumed they would do a deal, and | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
maybe that's still a safe-ish assumption, but we're well into | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
extra time, and the two sides are still far apart. In fact, you had | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
to have a bill put into Congress by the end of today to have it | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
legislated for next week in time for that debt limit. You do have | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
the Senate republicans - or the House Republicans have put a deal | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
on the table. They say they're going to vote on it Wednesday, but | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
it has two crucial features the President always said he'd oppose. | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
It doesn't include any new revenues from taxes, only spending cuts, and | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
it doesn't raise enough to get him into the election next year. They'd | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
have to do all of this again, which is something the Democrats don't | :17:28. | :17:35. | |
want to do. At the very least we're looking at a bumpy few days. I | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
think it's safe to say there are going to be enough tax revenues | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
coming in, even next week, for the Government to reach its debt. It's | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
not as if there will be a formal default, but I think there is | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
really important signal being sent about America's ability to get on | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
top of its massive deficit. That could be that even if there is a | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
deal, it could mean that the most important economy in the world and | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
the bedrock of the financial system uses its top credit rating as a | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
result of all of this. All right, Stephanie. Thank you. | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
Thank you. Energy companies should compensate | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
customers who have been mis-sold gas and electricity deals on the | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
doorstep, an committee of MPs has said. According to a report by the | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
Energy Committee, four out of every ten people who switch companies are | :18:21. | :18:29. | |
no better off. Here's our business correspondent, John Moylan. Just | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
under a third of consumers that switch suppliers do so on the | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
doorstep, but do they get a good deal? Not often enough, say MPs. | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
Whaley Wai-Lee Ho switched at the start of the year but he ended up | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
worse all. He says he was pressured into sign up. He got out direct | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
debit forms and started filling them in before I accepted anything. | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
I asked them if I could take them away, do some research, then | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
contact them if I did want to change. He told me no. | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
committee heard of those who switched suppliers on the doorstep, | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
up to 40% do not end up on a better deal. Vulnerable customers, in | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
particular, appeared to be targeted in this way. Scottish Power said | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
73% of its new pre-payment customers had been won on the | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
doorstep. Four of the big six energy firms are currently being | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
investigated by the industry regulator over mis-selling. One of | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
them, Scottish and Southern Energy, has recently suspended all doorstep | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
activity following a recent prosecution. It's little wonder | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
that consumer groups say enough is enough. What we want to see is a | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
change in the way in which energy companies try and engage with | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
consumers, an tend to cold calling. No just turning up on the toor step, | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
knocking on the door trying to make a sale. Plan it. Book it. Give | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
people the information they need. As for the suppliers, they say the | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
rules around doorstep selling are tighter than ever and that doorstep | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
sales can provide a useful way to find a new deal. But the committee | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
chairman says the industry should ditch the Del Boy sales tricks and | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
pay out compensation to those who have been wrongly persuaded to | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
switch. Strathclyde Police have begun a | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
murder investigation after an eight-year-old girl and her older | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
brother died in a house fire yesterday. Bridget and Thomas | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
Sharkey were at home in Helensburgh when the fire started. Their | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
parents suffered serious burns and are in a critical condition in | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
hospital. The Vatican has recalled its envoy | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
to Ireland after a damning report condemned the Catholic Church's | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
handling of child abuse cases in County Cork. The decision to recall | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
Archbishop Giuseppe Leanza to Rome follows fierce criticism from the | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
Irish Prime Minister. Enda Kenny said the Church's inability to deal | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
with sex abuse cases demonstrated a culture of "dysfunction, | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
disconnection, elitism and narcissism" at the Vatican. | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
The maid who's accused the former IMF chief of attempting to rape her | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
in his New York hotel suite has given her first interview. | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
Nafissatou Diallo said she wanted Dominique Strauss Kahn to know, | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
"There are some places you cannot use your power or your money." Our | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
New York correspondent Laura Trevelyan reports. | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
Nafissatou Diallo wants the world to hear her story. The West African | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
hotel maid at the centre of this extraordinary tale is waiving her | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
right to anonymity, insisting to ABC news she's telling the truth. | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
The former IMF boss did try to sexually assault her. I was like, | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
"I'm so sorry." I turned my head. He come to me and cupped my breasts, | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
"No. You don't have to be sorry." I said, "Stop. I don't want to lose | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
my job." This is the Manhattan hotel where the alleged rape took | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
place. DNA evidence shows there was a sexual encounter of some kind. | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
Dominique Strauss-Kahn's lawyers have hinted it was consensual. He | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
has been forced to resign as head of the IMF and seen his French | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
presidential ambitions recreed. But the former IMF boss was boosted | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
when the prosecution questioned the maid's credibility. The strength of | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
the case has been affected by the substantial credibility issues | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
relating to the complainant witness. Nafissatou Diallo changed her | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
account of what happened immediately after the attack and | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
didn't tell the truth on her asylum application and tax return. She | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
admits making mistakes, but is sticking to her story. I want | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
justice. I want him to go to jail. I want him to know you cannot use | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
your power when you do something like this. Mr Strauss-Kahn's | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
lawyers have dismissed the interview as an unseemly circus. | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
Now the prosecution must decide whether to drop the charges against | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
Mr Strauss-Kahn or continue their investigation. | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
Nafissatou Diallo has this plea: God is my witness. I'm telling the | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
truth, from my heart. By going public with her version of what | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
happened here, Nafissatou Diallo is trying to win public sympathy and | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
put pressure on the prosecution not to drop the charges against | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
Dominique Strauss-Kahn. But it's a high-risk strategy. The next court | :22:58. | :23:07. | |
Cricket now, and England have won the first Test against India after | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
taking nine wickets in an exciting final day at Lords. The match was | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
watched by a sell-out crowd, some of whom had queued overnight for | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
tickets. Our sports correspondent James Pearce reports. | :23:20. | :23:26. | |
Not a bad way to start the school holidays - free entry for under 16s. | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
Come on! Old and young had been queuing around Lords since early | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
morning. Yes, it had been a long wait, but what a day's cricket they | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
had in store. England needed an early breakthrough. And that's | :23:41. | :23:51. | |
:23:51. | :23:51. | ||
exactly what they got. Dravdi out for 26. Two more wickets were to | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
follow before lunch, Gautam Gambhir, LBW. | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
So not for the first time, Indian hopes rested with Sachin Tendulkar, | :24:03. | :24:12. | |
:24:13. | :24:13. | ||
dropped by the captain. How costly could that be? But two balls later, | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
English despair turned to joy. There was to be no-one00th | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
international century today, and India's chances of saboteuring a | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
draw were fast disappearing. England's bowling was accurate and | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
unstoppable. The question now wasn't if they'd win, but when. The | :24:37. | :24:45. | |
answer: shortly before 5.30pm. The umpire's finger signalled an | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
English victory that's taken them a giant stride closer to becoming the | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
world's top Test nation. performance of the guys today was | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
outstanding especially five down at tee. We had to work very hard to | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
open the one end up,ed a then when we did that, we finished it off | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
very clinically, so I'm very proud of what the guys did. So the | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
momentum England gained from series wins against Australia and Sri | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
Lanka has continued through to here. If they are to replace India at the | :25:12. | :25:16. |
