:00:05. > :00:12.Signed, sealed and delivered. America avoids a national default

:00:12. > :00:16.with an eleventh hour vote in the Senate. The deal is done. America's

:00:16. > :00:19.debt limit goes up by more than $2 trillion.

:00:19. > :00:24.President Obama says the budget cutting deal is only a first step.

:00:24. > :00:30.He still wants tax rises for the wealthy.

:00:30. > :00:32.You can't close the deficit with just spending cuts. We'll need a

:00:32. > :00:35.balanced approach where everything is on the table.

:00:35. > :00:37.We'll be looking at the global impact of America's divisive battle

:00:37. > :00:39.over debt. Also tonight:

:00:39. > :00:47.Somalia's famine - hundreds of thousands go hungry, caught behind

:00:47. > :00:50.the front-line. The real battle now is to find a

:00:50. > :00:53.way to move across the nearby front-lines and get the aid to

:00:53. > :00:56.where it is needed most. Another former News of the World

:00:56. > :01:01.executive is arrested as police investigate the phone hacking

:01:01. > :01:11.scandal. The man with a mechanical heart. A

:01:11. > :01:14.UK first as Matthew Green prepares Before I couldn't walk anywhere. I

:01:14. > :01:23.could hardly climb a flight of stairs and now I have been up and I

:01:23. > :01:26.have I have been walking out and There is no honeymoon for Mike

:01:26. > :01:36.Tindall, just three days after his wedding he is back in training with

:01:36. > :01:46.

:01:47. > :01:49.Good evening. With just hours to spare, America

:01:49. > :01:54.has avoided the national humiliation of not being able to

:01:54. > :01:56.pay its bills. A vote in the Senate this afternoon means that the

:01:56. > :02:06.Federal Government's debt limit has been increased by just under $2.5

:02:06. > :02:08.

:02:08. > :02:13.trillion. The deal comes after some of the most divisive battles in

:02:13. > :02:22.congress history. Democrats failed to get the tax rises they had once

:02:22. > :02:27.There has been little to smile about in the last few weeks as the

:02:27. > :02:30.President and his opponents deeply divide over the economy try to

:02:30. > :02:34.cobble together a deal, failure followed failure, but now it is

:02:34. > :02:39.done. Disaster has been averted, but a President who came to power

:02:39. > :02:44.promising hope and change has been pushed into presiding over cuts. He

:02:44. > :02:48.sounds cross. It is pretty likely that the

:02:48. > :02:55.uncertainty surrounding the raising of the debt ceiling for businesses

:02:55. > :02:58.and consumers has been unsettling and one more impediment to the full

:02:58. > :03:08.recovery we need. It has come to this because America

:03:08. > :03:10.

:03:10. > :03:15.is deep in the red. Of every every $1, $1 is borrowed. The Government

:03:15. > :03:21.will hit the debt ceiling today, but the deal raises it by $2.4

:03:21. > :03:25.trillion in in return for spending cuts of $2.1 trillion.

:03:25. > :03:32.This is a victory for Republicans. They turned what has been a routine

:03:32. > :03:37.vote into a crisis by insisting there would be no more borrowing.

:03:37. > :03:43.This Is a welcome change in behaviour and I support it. Make no

:03:43. > :03:47.mistake. This is a change in behaviour. From spend, spend, spend

:03:47. > :03:52.to cut, cut, cut. Now listen to the Democrats

:03:52. > :03:58.reaction. To be frank almost everything else about this deal

:03:58. > :04:02.stinks. It stinks to high heaven. The left of Obama's party is

:04:02. > :04:06.distraught. I think it will be a real blow. A

:04:06. > :04:10.weak economy makes it hard for people to get excited about this

:04:10. > :04:16.President. They see him following public opinion rather than leading

:04:16. > :04:19.This is a victory for the Tea Party Movement. What started as a series

:04:19. > :04:23.of local protest has become a force that dominates the Republican Party,

:04:24. > :04:27.helping them win last year's elections, ensuring their main

:04:27. > :04:31.demand, a a dramatic reduction in Government spending rocketed to the

:04:31. > :04:35.top of the political agenda. They got a lot of what they wanted,

:04:35. > :04:41.but all the Tea Party organisations were against the deal. All the Tea

:04:41. > :04:44.Party members members in the Congress voted against it. While

:04:44. > :04:48.they pushed the debate, they weren't smart enough to declare

:04:48. > :04:52.victory. They pulled back from the brink in

:04:52. > :04:56.time. The basic problem remains, two parties with very different

:04:56. > :05:06.visions of America and a system that forces them to agree. The

:05:06. > :05:09.

:05:09. > :05:11.crisis is over, their struggle The last minute agreement in

:05:11. > :05:14.America comes on a day of increasing market jitters in the

:05:14. > :05:17.eurozone. Borrowing costs for the Spanish and Italian governments hit

:05:17. > :05:20.new highs, signalling a loss of confidence in those economies. Our

:05:20. > :05:27.economics editor looks at the likely impact of the US deal both

:05:27. > :05:31.Even with this agreement, many still expect the US to it lose its

:05:31. > :05:37.top credit rating by the end of the year, but for the moment investors

:05:37. > :05:40.seem to be more worried about the state of America's recovery. The US

:05:40. > :05:42.accounts for more than 20% of the world economy, roughly as much as

:05:42. > :05:46.world economy, roughly as much as all the countries in the EU added

:05:46. > :05:49.together. The latest figures show the US economy growing by just 0.4%

:05:49. > :05:57.in the first six months of 2011, even slower than the UK which has

:05:57. > :06:00.grown by 0.7% in that time. And that's in a year when the US

:06:00. > :06:01.Government will borrow nearly as much as it did last year. Some fear

:06:01. > :06:04.much as it did last year. Some fear that steep budget cuts next year

:06:04. > :06:07.will make a weak recovery even worse. If you don't have that

:06:07. > :06:10.response of the exchange rate for lower interest rates, fiscal

:06:10. > :06:14.tightening can be damaging to growth. Our fear is given the

:06:14. > :06:18.environment we live in. Lots of debt in the private sector in the

:06:18. > :06:22.West, monetary policy not being able to gain much traction, our

:06:22. > :06:26.fear is growth will be hit hard next year.

:06:26. > :06:31.For gooUn the US deal is proof that everyone sees the need to get

:06:31. > :06:37.deficits under control. If we needed anymore, Italian and Spanish

:06:37. > :06:42.borrowing costs hit new highs today. Spain's Prime Minister was even

:06:42. > :06:45.forced to delay his holiday. In Britain, Mr Osbourne could briefly

:06:45. > :06:48.enjoy the lowest cost of borrowing for any British Government since

:06:48. > :06:52.1946. The UK has been ahead of other

:06:52. > :06:58.countries in the speed of its budget cuts. The IMF reckons that

:06:58. > :07:07.we'll cut our structural budget deficit by 1.5% of GDP this year.

:07:07. > :07:11.That compares with an average cut of 0en 5% -- 0.5%.

:07:11. > :07:16.America's long-term budget gap has barely fallen this year. Next year,

:07:16. > :07:21.we in the UK are looking at roughly the same again. But other countries

:07:21. > :07:26.will now be squeezing too with cuts of nearly 1% of GDP in the rich

:07:26. > :07:31.countries as a group and a much larger 2% of GDP tightening in the

:07:31. > :07:36.US. That sounds like a big shift, but most in Washington expect the

:07:36. > :07:40.cut will be smaller and some would say the story of the world recovery

:07:40. > :07:45.these days doesn't start and end with Europe and America.

:07:46. > :07:52.I think it is not just the US, it is the the G7 and Japan is stuck

:07:52. > :07:57.with lots of difficulties. China, India, Brazil, Russia, they are the

:07:57. > :08:01.drivers of the world economy and we are going to have to look more and

:08:01. > :08:06.more for beneficial impact on what is going on there for us. We are

:08:06. > :08:09.not going to get a lot of it from inside the G7.

:08:09. > :08:12.The IMF said today that Britain's recovery would be weaker than the

:08:12. > :08:20.Government hopes in part due to the pace of budget cuts, but the fund

:08:20. > :08:23.does not think there any better alternatives out there. The

:08:23. > :08:30.question is whether the same gloomy prognosis applies to America and

:08:30. > :08:33.Thank you. There are fears tonne for the

:08:33. > :08:38.hundreds of thousands of famine victims caught in parts of Somalia

:08:38. > :08:42.controlled by the rebel Islamist group, Al-Shabab. Food deliveries

:08:42. > :08:48.to the country have begun. Aid agencies face challenges getting it

:08:48. > :08:52.across the front-line. In all A quarter of Somalia's population has

:08:52. > :08:58.been displaced by famine. 1.2 million children are going hungry.

:08:58. > :09:03.About half of them are malnourished and are likely to die without

:09:03. > :09:07.urgent help. Andrew Harding joins us now from Mogadishu.

:09:07. > :09:12.Yes, George, the situation here is deteriorating even though more raid

:09:12. > :09:16.is starting to trickle in. The famine itself seems to be spreading

:09:16. > :09:20.and Al-Shabab, the militant group that controls much of this country

:09:20. > :09:26.is not only blocking aid, it is preventing many hungry families

:09:26. > :09:36.from escaping to Kenya, to Ethiopia and here to Somalia's car torn

:09:36. > :09:37.

:09:37. > :09:42.capital. Visiting Mogadishu, it is best to

:09:42. > :09:48.be prepared. We're heading into a city that has

:09:48. > :09:54.forgotten the meaning of safety. It is our gunmen against the rest.

:09:54. > :09:58.Near the front-lines, we find the famine's latest fugitives. Tens of

:09:58. > :10:07.thousands have come here seeking food and hoping for security. They

:10:07. > :10:12.are in bad shape. The familiar images as shocking as ever. Twins

:10:13. > :10:22.here, both fighting for life. Their mothers, indeed all the mothers

:10:22. > :10:27.fled from territory controlled by Al-Shabab. Binto Hassan says the

:10:27. > :10:32.militants killed her son. They tied up and then shot him, she says,

:10:32. > :10:37.because he was carrying a bag of food aid and they said it came from

:10:37. > :10:42.the infidels. The world is getting more supplies into Mogadishu now.

:10:42. > :10:48.Soup kitchens in every district, but it is not here that Somalia's

:10:48. > :10:51.famine must be defeated. This is an almost impossible bli difficult,

:10:51. > :10:54.dangerous place for foreigners to operate. You can see how much

:10:55. > :10:58.security we need to move around the centre of Mogadishu. Of course, the

:10:58. > :11:05.real battle is is to find a way to move across the nearby front-lines

:11:05. > :11:10.and get the aid to where it is needed most. Here is one way. UN

:11:10. > :11:19.food blocked by Al-Shabab is handed over to trusted local charities

:11:19. > :11:22.that do have access throughout Somalia. Everybody knows. We are

:11:22. > :11:24.confident that we can deliver anywhere in the country.

:11:24. > :11:28.REPORTER: This could be the solution to end the famine? This

:11:28. > :11:31.could be the solution to end the famine in a way.

:11:31. > :11:36.REPORTER: One of them anyway? one of them.

:11:36. > :11:43.The needs are certainly overwhelming here. The politics are

:11:43. > :11:46.messy. Somalia is not an easy place to help. Now for the many

:11:46. > :11:51.organisations trying to help this region, money is still an issue,

:11:51. > :11:57.but the donations are coming in. The real problems are first, a lack

:11:57. > :12:02.of time to get to those who are already starving and secondly, this

:12:02. > :12:07.crucial issue of a lack of access to the heart, the growing heart, of

:12:07. > :12:10.Andrew, thank you. The former manager editor of the

:12:10. > :12:14.News of the World, Stuart Kuttner, has been arrested by police looking

:12:14. > :12:18.into allegations of phone hacking and corruption. His

:12:18. > :12:21.responsibilities at the paper, which he left in 2009, included

:12:21. > :12:27.authorising payments. He is the eleventh person to be arrested

:12:27. > :12:32.since police began their latest investigation in January. Here is

:12:32. > :12:35.Matt Prodger. Ten years ago and the parents of

:12:35. > :12:39.murdered schoolgirl Sarah Payne launching a campaign with the News

:12:39. > :12:42.of the World to to name and shame paedophiles. At the forefront was

:12:42. > :12:47.the paper's, Stuart Kuttner. Today arrested by detectives

:12:47. > :12:54.investigating phone hacking and allegations of bribes to the police.

:12:54. > :12:57.To years ago, Mr Kuttner told MPs as manager editor he may have

:12:57. > :13:06.unknowingly authorised payments for phone hacking.

:13:06. > :13:13.A relatively small, but regrettable number of cash payments were

:13:13. > :13:16.created and were approved by the whole, not always, but generally by

:13:16. > :13:20.me unknowing. He told them his job as managing

:13:20. > :13:23.editor was to bridge the gap between journalists and and

:13:23. > :13:28.management at the News of the World. He was once described as the person

:13:28. > :13:32.who came closest to be the DNA of the organisation. He appeared in

:13:32. > :13:36.public frequently representing the organisation in the case of Sarah's

:13:36. > :13:39.Law, he did that. As the managing editor that's where the money goes

:13:39. > :13:42.through. Day by day the number of people

:13:42. > :13:46.arrested in connection with phone hacking increased. Among them Andy

:13:46. > :13:50.Coulson, who resigned as News of the World editor and as the Prime

:13:50. > :13:55.Minister's Director of Communications. Rebekah Brooks as

:13:55. > :14:00.editor. Neil Wallace a former deputy editor and three journalist

:14:00. > :14:03.who worked there. Only Clive Goodman and private

:14:03. > :14:07.investigator Glenn Mulcaire have been charged and convicted.

:14:07. > :14:11.Stuart Kuttner is of great interest to those like the detectives here

:14:11. > :14:15.at Scotland Yard who are trying to work out how far the criminality at

:14:15. > :14:18.the News of the World went. Few people worked at the newspaper so

:14:18. > :14:22.long and in such an important position.

:14:22. > :14:32.Stuart Kuttner was released this evening and returned to his North

:14:40. > :14:43.Rupert Murdoch immediately launched an appeal today after he was jailed

:14:43. > :14:45.for six weeks. Jonathan May-Bowles, also known by his stage name Jonnie

:14:45. > :14:47.Marbles, insisted the assault was designed to voice "widespread

:14:48. > :14:50.revulsion" over the phone-hacking scandal. He launched a paper plate

:15:05. > :15:08.Hama suggest residents are fleeing the continued onslaught by

:15:08. > :15:11.government forces. More than 100 people are said to have been killed

:15:11. > :15:13.in the last three days of violence. There's growing diplomatic concern

:15:13. > :15:16.around the world, with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon

:15:16. > :15:26.saying President Bashar al Assad had "lost all sense of humanity".

:15:28. > :15:38.Our diplomatic correspondent The crowd on the streets of Hama

:15:38. > :15:41.last night after prayers on the first day of Ramadan. Undeterred by

:15:41. > :15:48.days of bloodshed and clashes with government forces, pictures we

:15:48. > :15:55.can't verify, but clearly, there are thousands of them. "Down with

:15:55. > :15:59.the regime", they shout, "and with the Bath Party." And from today,

:15:59. > :16:06.more amateur footage, newly-dug graves of some of those they say

:16:06. > :16:12.have died in the past few days. But on Syrian TV, it's an entirely

:16:12. > :16:17.different story - no mention of the scores of civilians killed. Instead,

:16:17. > :16:23.President Assad visiting injured soldiers at a military hospital.

:16:23. > :16:27.This soldier tells the President he was ambushed when manning a

:16:27. > :16:33.checkpoint. The government insists it's their soldiers who were taked

:16:33. > :16:37.by armed gangs and saboteurs. In one TV report on Sunday's clashes

:16:37. > :16:43.in Hama, the focus was on protesters' weapons, every gun

:16:43. > :16:50.circled in red, even a man carrying a sickle noted, disputing the claim

:16:50. > :16:54.that this is an unarmed, peaceful uprising.

:16:54. > :16:58.Yet matched against the protesters are government tanks and other

:16:58. > :17:02.heavy weaponry, as they're preparing to wage war. Whatever

:17:02. > :17:07.blood is shed, though, the outside world is clear - this time, they

:17:07. > :17:13.don't want to intervene. Looking at Arab uprisings across the region,

:17:13. > :17:17.why has the international reaction to Syria been so different? The

:17:17. > :17:20.speed of Egypt's revolution caught many countries by surprise when the

:17:20. > :17:25.crowds swelled in Tahrir Square, President Obama and other leaders

:17:25. > :17:31.took ages to ditch President Mubarak. Libya was a different

:17:31. > :17:37.story. Europe and the US got behind the rebels early. NATO's strikes

:17:37. > :17:42.had UN and Arab support to stop a massacre, and let's face it,

:17:42. > :17:48.because Colonel Gaddafi has few real friends, but when it came to

:17:48. > :17:53.Syria the lessons of Libya reduced the and at a time for military

:17:54. > :17:59.action. The Arab world fears a wider conglagration. Syria's future,

:18:00. > :18:03.it seems, is in the hands of its own people.

:18:14. > :18:17.A 40-year-old who was dying from heart failure has become the first

:18:17. > :18:20.person in Britain to leave hospital after being given a completely

:18:20. > :18:28.artificial heart. Matthew Green has been fitted with a device powered

:18:28. > :18:31.by a battery unit in a backpack. It means he'll be able to live a more

:18:31. > :18:36.normal life while waiting for a human heart from a suitable donor.

:18:36. > :18:40.Our science correspondent David Shukman reports.

:18:40. > :18:45.Meet the first man in Britain walking with a plastic heart.

:18:45. > :18:48.Matthew Green with his wife Jill and son Dylan and a bag that's

:18:48. > :18:55.become a new and essential member of the family - the device that's

:18:55. > :18:58.keeping Matthew alive with a loud, rhythmic beat.

:18:58. > :19:02.Just tell me a little bit about how this extraordinary device is going

:19:02. > :19:07.to change your life? It's going to just revolutionilise my life.

:19:07. > :19:11.Before, I couldn't walk anywhere. I could hardly climb a flight of

:19:11. > :19:15.stairs. Now I went out for a pub lunch over the weekend, and that

:19:15. > :19:19.just felt fantastic to be with normal people again. That just is

:19:19. > :19:23.the alarm that shows your pressure is a little high. We'll leave it

:19:23. > :19:29.for now. This is the kind of plastic heart with four valves and

:19:29. > :19:33.two pumping cham bers fitted inside his chest. The blood flows through

:19:33. > :19:37.these tubes under his skin, out below the ribcage. Normally this

:19:37. > :19:42.would have to be driven by a huge pump in hospital. What's new is a

:19:42. > :19:46.that Matthew has been given one of these, a portable pump. It's not

:19:47. > :19:49.light, seven kilos, but it does mean he can get out and about. This

:19:49. > :19:54.animation shows the plastic heart, here beating in slow motion, doing

:19:54. > :19:59.the job of a real one, but it's not meant to be permanent. It took us

:19:59. > :20:03.about six hours to do the operation. The surgon who fitted the heart

:20:03. > :20:08.here at Papworth Hospital says the aim is to buy time for Matthew

:20:08. > :20:11.while he waits for a human heart to be transplanted. The longest a

:20:11. > :20:16.patient has received and supported by one of these machines has been

:20:16. > :20:22.over three years, so it does provide medium to longer term

:20:22. > :20:27.support, and this is very important because it buys us more time to

:20:27. > :20:31.find a suitable heart for Matthew. The latest figures show that 132

:20:31. > :20:36.people in Britain are hoping for a heart transplant, but on average

:20:36. > :20:40.they're waiting six months, and while they do, 15% of them die, so

:20:40. > :20:43.the option of fitting an artificial heart may be critical, but there

:20:43. > :20:47.are risks. They're almost certainly safer than the heart they're

:20:47. > :20:51.replacing, but they do have problems. There are risks of blood

:20:51. > :20:55.clots and there are risks of infection, but we know ways of

:21:00. > :21:06.bag powering his new heart offers a new lease of life. His big hope: to

:21:06. > :21:09.go for a bike ride. The former Egyptian President Hosni

:21:09. > :21:12.Mubarak is due to go on trial tomorrow over the killing of

:21:12. > :21:15.protesters during the uprising in February. It's thought the 83-year-

:21:15. > :21:25.old, who's been in hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh,

:21:25. > :21:28.will be flown to the capital in the morning. As our world affairs

:21:28. > :21:32.editor John Simpson reports from Cairo, the trial is being seen as a

:21:32. > :21:35.test of the military council's commitment to change in the country.

:21:35. > :21:40.The long-running demonstration that brought down a President is over.

:21:40. > :21:43.The police and Army moved in yesterday to get rid of the tent

:21:43. > :21:50.city in Tahrir Square, and they didn't do it particularly gently

:21:50. > :21:54.either. A television reporter for Egypt's Channel 25 managed to keep

:21:54. > :22:01.on filming as he was bundled into an Army vehicle. Together with a

:22:01. > :22:07.bunch of others who had been arrested and sometimes beaten up. A

:22:07. > :22:11.BBC producer, Shaimaa Khalil, managed to take some photos of the

:22:11. > :22:14.police and Army operation until she was picked up too. She was held for

:22:14. > :22:21.20 hours before being released unharmed. By this morning, around

:22:21. > :22:26.Tahrir Square the familiar Cairo gridlock here was back, just like

:22:26. > :22:31.the old days. The riot police were completely in charge, and no-one

:22:31. > :22:36.stopped us filming. There were no demonstrators, and nothing much was

:22:36. > :22:41.left of the protest banners that used to hang from the traffic

:22:41. > :22:45.lights and lampposts. When President mubar ab went, the

:22:45. > :22:49.military government, made of his former colleagues, promised a new

:22:49. > :22:55.Congress and President within six months, but that was now six months

:22:55. > :22:59.ago, and there is still no sign of any elections. People are deeply

:22:59. > :23:07.divided about the future of the Arab spring in Egypt. This man, who

:23:07. > :23:13.used to demonstrate here in the Square, is an optimist. Under the

:23:13. > :23:17.soil to give us a beautiful flower, so we have to wait. And what will

:23:17. > :23:21.happen? Where there is a will, there is a way. Now that President

:23:21. > :23:27.Mubarak is about to go on trial, attitudes to him have changed. For

:23:27. > :23:31.30 years, President Mubarak was one of the fixed points in world

:23:31. > :23:35.affairs. Foreign leaders never questioned the basis of his power.

:23:36. > :23:40.Now they'd prefer to forget him. And this is the hospital in Sharm

:23:41. > :23:44.El-Sheikh where he's being treated. In the next few hours, he's

:23:44. > :23:49.scheduled to be brought to Cairo for the start of his trial. Until

:23:49. > :23:55.late last night, this whole area was full of demonstrators. Now you

:23:55. > :24:00.can see who is in charge. The fact is there hasn't really been much of

:24:00. > :24:06.a revolution in Egypt at all. The former President may be coming up

:24:06. > :24:14.for trial tomorrow morning, but in every other way, the system that he

:24:14. > :24:16.created is still just as much in force as it ever was.

:24:16. > :24:21.It's been described as "Britain's biggest secret garden. Now for the

:24:21. > :24:26.first time in over half a century Wrest Park in Bedfordshire has

:24:26. > :24:30.reopened to the public. Designed over 300 years ago, it's suffered

:24:30. > :24:36.decades of neglect, but now it's been restored to its former glory.

:24:36. > :24:42.From an orangery, a Chinese bridge and temple to ponds and canals -

:24:42. > :24:47.Wrest Park's designers were the best in their day. To help them, as

:24:47. > :24:53.this photo from around 1890 shows, there was a garden workforce of

:24:53. > :24:58.around 40 men but change in workforce left the park in a state

:24:58. > :25:03.of neglect. At one point there were only four gardeners. When English

:25:03. > :25:07.Heritage took on the park five years ago they embarked on an

:25:07. > :25:11.ambitious restoration project - their aim, for Wrest Park to once

:25:11. > :25:15.again claim its place as one of the most important British gardens.

:25:15. > :25:19.What makes it important is you can walk through 300 years of garden

:25:19. > :25:23.history at Wrest Park. And there is elements of each of those major

:25:23. > :25:28.centurys that you can still see in their original form. Gardeners

:25:28. > :25:33.spent weeks over winter digging up this lawn, which should never have

:25:33. > :25:37.been there, to revert the rose garden to exactly that. The Italian

:25:37. > :25:43.garden which had been planted with low-maintenance plants now looks

:25:43. > :25:47.like this, transformed to its original 1882 design and the lake,

:25:47. > :25:50.the main vista to the pavilion, has been restored to its original

:25:50. > :25:55.appearance with gravel paths. Gardener and broadcaster Matthew

:25:55. > :26:00.Biggs believes the work being done will return the gardens to how the

:26:00. > :26:03.original owners had envisaged them. The de Greys wanted to make this

:26:03. > :26:07.original balanced landscape, and we're going to see it again. How

:26:07. > :26:11.exciting is that? That's why I think everybody should just come

:26:11. > :26:14.along and have a glimpse, and gardening and gardens are for

:26:14. > :26:17.everyone. Year one of the restoration project is complete at

:26:17. > :26:26.the cost of �4 million, �1 million of which was a grant from the
