Also tonight: A frantic scramble for university | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
places ahead of the rise in tuition fees. | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
It is a useless system. I should have known that a lot of | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
people have planned this year and done something about it. | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
Libya's rebels edge closer to the capital, we report from the front | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
line. These guys are in control of the | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
street. The rebels in control of the town, that means that Tripoli | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
is cut off from the outside world. Global markets slump again, the Dow | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
Jones is down and the FTSE reports its biggest fall in throw years. | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
Why part of England's most successful club is being sold | :01:28. | :01:37. | |
abroad to pay its debts. I'm her with Sports Day. Tottenham | :01:37. | :01:47. | |
:01:47. | :01:59. | ||
enjoy their night out at Tynecastle. Good evening. For the first time, | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
America, France, Germany Britain and the EU have called on Syria's | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
President Bashar al-Assad barb to call down. | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
America has also announced it is imposing more sanctions on Damascus, | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
the news came as the United Nations said that it believed that more | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
than 2,000 people have been killed since the violence began five | :02:22. | :02:32. | |
:02:32. | :02:32. | ||
months ago. The martyr's blood will not go to | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
waste, the crowd chants. This video taken in Homs today, shows one of | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
the latest funerals of the civilians killed against this | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
regime over the past five months. Finally, the Obama administration | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
is calling directly for him to go. The transition into democracy has | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
begun. It is time for Assad to get out of the way. It is up to the | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
Syrian people to choose their own leaders, in a democratic system, | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
based on the rule of law and dedicated to protecting the rights | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
of all citizens, regardless of ethnicicity, religion, sector | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
gender. For months, Washington resisted | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
spelling this out, fearing that President Bashar al-Assad could | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
cling on, but now that the rest of the Arab world openly condemns his | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
regime, this is the next part of the uprising. | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
Today, Europe's leaders coordinated that I new tauing talk with | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
Washington. The leaders of Britain, France, Germany, telling President | :03:44. | :03:54. | |
:03:54. | :03:58. | ||
The United Nations now believes that over 2,000 people have been | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
killed in the uprising. It judges that the regime's actions may | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
amount to crimes against humanity. That is partly as regime violence | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
is used against protest wherever it has spread and it is spreading, | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
bringing public rejection close to the centres of power. President | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
Obama is now introducing new, stronger sanctions against Syria, | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
at the risk of hurting ordinary Syrians. So American investment is | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
banned, no more exports or imports of oil and gas, something that | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
Europe too will consider, but Washington is not expecting | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
immediate ruments. In Syria -- immediate results. | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
In Syria, President Bashar al-Assad still has the loyalty of the | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
security services. He maid be morally wounded but it will take | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
time from a political stand point that he is over. | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
So, as Syrians cry out to the world for help, President Assad is under | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
new pressure, but so far, the regime has always judged that its | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
survival is paramount, whatever the cost. | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
Our correspondent Adam Brookes is in Washington for us now. So, | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
finally, international pressure, is it going to have any effect? Well, | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
Sophie, nobody in Washington is pretending that demanding President | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
Bashar al-Assad depart will make it so, but it has been said that the | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
Americans believe that President Bashar al-Assad is finished as the | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
political balance inside Syria has shifted against him and outside of | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Syria in the international community it has too. So, the | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
Americans are hoping they are not acting alone. They are coordinating | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
carefully with other countries, expecting Europe a and other | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
powerful players like Turkey and Saudi Arabia, to bring on more | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
sanctions. They are signalling clearly, that | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
they expect Europe to put a stop to help. The Americans are saying that | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
they see this as a process, possibly a protracted one, but one | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
that will not end in military action. This is not Libya, these | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
officials were saying, that military action is not on the cards. | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
Tens of thousands of students have been scrambling to get a university | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
place after a record year of A level passes in England and Wales | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
and Wales and Northern Ireland. There is an intense battle as the | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
students try to get to university before the increase in the tuition | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
fees next year. At one point, there were 400 students per second | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
phoning the UCAS system in the hope of finding a place. | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
Did you get?! How did they do that! Not delighted by the results, but | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
by the fact that they are through to university clearing. It helps | :06:57. | :07:06. | |
the people to find places in the universities. The phonelines were | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
recording 400 calls a second. I apoll guise to anyone who has had | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
added anxiety. This is a tough day. UCAS is 100% dedicated to providing | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
the service to apgants and universities and colleges. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
This young man is now in the clearing system. He spent a | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
frustrating morning struggling to get advice. | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
It is a useless system. They should have known that a lot of people are | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
applying this year and done something about it. | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
Here at the University of West London they have taken twice as | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
many calls as last year, but there are only a quarter of the number of | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
places. That picture is the same nationally, with more pupils | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
eligible for clearing but with fewer vacancies. Tens of thousands | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
could fail to fulfil their dream of going to university. This year, | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
there has been a record 673,000 applications, with the numbers of | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
clearing standing at 192,000. Defered applications, those wishing | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
to take a gap year are down by 37%. Elizabeth at kin is a grade A | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
student, but she is scrapping the gap year she wanted because of the | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
tuition fees rise. I wanted time to work to make money | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
for university, but when I found out about the fees changing we were | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
not sure if it was worth having a gap year. | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
I am not sure how it works but it doesn't sound like the best | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
situation. Rose Dyson in Cardiff has decided | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
on an apprentice scheme and training to be a plumber. | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
The unifees, the payment, the food, that is another one, the food. I | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
don't think that I could afford it all. I need help from my mum and | :08:58. | :09:06. | |
parents, they are not around for me. I would rather have my own money. | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
This young man was finally accepted into clearing and offered a | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
different University of His choice, but there is uncertainty still for | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
thousands of others. In Libya, rebel fighters say that | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
they have taken control of an oil refinery in an important town of | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
Zawiya, but Colonel Gaddafi's regime claim it is is still in | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
government hands. The rebels are continuing it their advance in | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
Tripoli, saying that they occupy the town of Gharyan, 50 miles south | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
of the capital. From Libya's western mountains we | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
push towards the coast, not sure what we will find last week this | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
road was controlled by Colonel Gaddafi's forces, now we pass bands | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
of rebel fighters, flicking the victory sign. As we entire into | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
Zawiya, one of Colonel Gaddafi's tanks is abandoned. | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
On street coners groups of rebel fighters are in control and | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
euphoric. Is it near the end now? Yes. Yes. | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
Why? Because we know that. This is Zawiya. These are strong people. It | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
is close to Tripoli. He knows. We are on the edge of the city of | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
Zawiya, the western edge. Behind me, the ridge there is the highway | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
between Tripoli and the Tunisian border. The guys here are in | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
control of the streets, the rebels in control of the highway, that | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
means that Tripoli is cut off from the outside world. There is smoke | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
from a rocket that landed here ten minutes ago. We were told that this | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
place is safe, but clearly it is still under attack from Colonel | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
Gaddafi's forces. The battle is for control of this | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
vital highway. This was Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's last link to the | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
outside world. Six weeks ago I drove down here on my way to | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
Tripoli, then it was crammed with cars and lorries, ladened with food | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
and supplies, but look at it now. On the edge of Zawiya, a group of | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
rebels take me to their latest prize, the city's oil refinery. | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
They grove Colonel Gaddafi's last troops out of here yesterday. In | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
Tripoli there is a desperate shortage of fuel, now it will be | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
worse. In Zawiya's city centre this | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
afternoon, intense street fighting continued. Colonel Gaddafi knows he | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
cannot afford to lose this vital town. The rebels know if they can | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
hold on here, they will have Colonel Gaddafi cut off and | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
surrounded. The funerals have been held for the | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
three men knocked down and killed during last week's riots in | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
Birmingham. Haroon Jahan, Abdul Musavir and Shazad Ali were killed | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
twiel protecting their property from the looters. 20,000 people | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
lined the streets to pay their respects. | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
Prince Harry was the latest member of the Royal Family to witness for | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
himself the damage caused by last week's riots. He visited Salford | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
where he meat merge workers and local people. In London, the police | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
have released CCTV pictures of the looting of a shop in Clapham | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
junction it shows a picture of a man who is attacked with a fire- | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
extinguisher before the looters enter into the shop. The detectives | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
are trying to trace the victim or anyone who saw the incident. | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
It's been a turbulent day on the markets. The FTSE recording its | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
biggest fall since November, 2008, it ended the day down to 4.5 Mersey. | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
In America, the Dow Jones fell by more than 3.5%. Robert Peston is | :13:07. | :13:17. | |
:13:17. | :13:17. | ||
here, is this down to fears of Investors have been shunning | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
anything seen as risky. Wherever you went, you saw falls of between | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
four and 6% in share prices. But at the same time, the price of | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
investments perceived as safes such as gold has gone well over $1,800 | :13:36. | :13:46. | |
:13:46. | :13:48. | ||
an ounce. We have not seen that level since the 1950s. What does it | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
mean when investors do not want to take risks? As you said, they fear | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
that the world is heading back to recession and they fear that the | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
banking system is fragile again. Investors are not always right, but | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
the lesson of history is that it is foolish to ignore what they are | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
saying about those risks. Coming up on tonight's programme: 20 years | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
since the Moscow coup which nearly toppled him, we hear from Mikhail | :14:12. | :14:22. | |
Gorbachev about the end of the Israel says an air strike on the | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
Gaza Strip has killed the militants who were behind a series of attacks | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
near the southern city of Eilat. Eight Israelis died when gunmen | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
opened fire on vehicles, including two buses. The Israeli military | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
said its soldiers killed seven of the attackers. It claims they had | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
crossed from Egypt, having travelled south from the Gaza Strip. | :14:40. | :14:50. | |
:14:50. | :14:53. | ||
Hours later, Israel retaliated with an air strike on the town of Rafah. | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
This was the most deadly attacking side Israel since 2008. Worryingly | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
for the Israelis, the casualties were inflicted by gunmen who seemed | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
to have come out of Egypt's Sinai desert, which has been increasingly | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
lawless since the revolution. A bus was attacked first by well-armed | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
and seemingly well organised gunmen. Other attacks hit a private car and | :15:16. | :15:24. | |
a military patrol. It went on for much of the afternoon. Ehud Barak, | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
Israel's Defence Minister, said Egypt's hold on the Sinai desert | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
was weakening. After the ambulances had passed, the generals with them | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
were told more shooting was happening and abruptly ended the | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
news conference. As Israeli troops conducted a manhunt along the | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
border, the government here said it would retaliate against gunmen it | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
said were Palestinians who had travelled through the Sinai desert | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
from Gaza. An air strike in Rafah in Gaza killed a small boy and five | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
members of an armed group, the Popular Resistance Committee, | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
including its top two commanders. The group denied it carried out the | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
attack, but promised what it called double revenge. Israel's Prime | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went on TV. He said Israel would react | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
immediately and with force if its citizens were hurt, and said people | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
who gave the orders to kill Israelis were "no longer among the | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
living". The Israelis have had a sharp reminder that their enemies | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
can take advantage of the confusion caused by the seismic changes going | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
on in the Arab world. Political tensions were already rising ahead | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
of a Palestinian plan next month to ask the UN for membership and | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
recognition of their independence and borders. But before any of that, | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
there is now a strong chance of more violence in and around Gaza. | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
One of Britain's most successful software companies, Autonomy, could | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
be bought by the American technology firm Hewlett Packard for | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
�6 billion. If the deal goes through, HP's takeover is likely to | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
be controversial in the wake of other foreign purchases of British | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
companies such as Kraft's takeover of Cadbury last year. Autonomy's | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
software searches data in e-mails and documents, and is used by | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
companies around the world. Two teenagers have been arrested on | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
suspicion of murdering a 14-year- old boy who died in a pool of blood | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
near a playground. Leroy James was found slumped against a park wall | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
after the incident in Enfield, in north London, yesterday as young | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
children played nearby. The former Soviet President, | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
Mikhail Gorbachev, has accused Vladimir Putin of castrating | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
Russia's electoral system, and said he should not stand in next year's | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
presidential elections. Mr Gorbachev's comments come on the | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
eve of the 20th anniversary of the Moscow coup which led to the | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
collapse of the Soviet Union. Our diplomatic correspondent met up | :17:49. | :17:59. | |
:17:59. | :18:02. | ||
with the former President. At a private dinner in Moscow, the | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev mulls over what happened | :18:05. | :18:13. | |
20 years ago with old colleagues. It all snowballed, he says, | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
starting from my opponents' anger at the elections I brought in, and | :18:17. | :18:26. | |
that led to the coup against me. A dramatic showdown in the heart of | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
Moscow, with the future of the world at stake. I witnessed at | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
first hand as BBC Moscow correspondent. It was here exactly | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
20 years ago in central Moscow that the two leaders made their move on | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
the orders of the vice-president, the KGB chief and others, tanks | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
rolled down this central thoroughfare towards the Kremlin, | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
past astonished shoppers. The two leaders are said Gorbachev was too | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
sick to rule, and they were taking over power. It looked like a | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
classic Soviet military crackdown to roll back Gorbachev's | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
perestroika reforms and reimpose hardline control over the whole | :19:07. | :19:14. | |
country. Quarter of was on holiday by the Black Sea when he refused to | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
join the coup plotters, he found himself under house arrest. | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
TRANSLATION: They surrounded us with the cars down by the seashore | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
and everywhere. At the entrance, they parked cars | :19:27. | :19:35. | |
so nobody could drive past. They would not let anyone through. | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
in Moscow, the Russian peasant Boris Yeltsin declared the coup | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
illegal and urged people to protest against it. He also sought help | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
from outside, fearing he would get arrested. We managed to get through | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
to him on the telephone, and he said, I am in the White House, the | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
Russian White House. And the Communists are coming to get me. I | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
have about 20 minutes. Will you tell people what is happening? And | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
I did. In Moscow, crowds flocked to protect Russia's fledgling | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
democracy. The two leaders panicked, and their plot crumbled. But in its | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
aftermath, the Soviet Union soon collapsed and swept Gorbachev from | :20:21. | :20:29. | |
office. Today in Berlin, Gorbachev is greeted as a hero for helping | :20:29. | :20:37. | |
end the Cold War. He visits regularly, a chance for me to catch | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
up with him. The old Communist leaders of the Soviet empire | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
emblazoned on the mural on the Berlin Wall. But Gorbachev's | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
concern is Russia's current Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. He likens | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
his rule to the stagnant days of Brezhnev. | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
TRANSLATION: Put-in and his team offer stability, but stability | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
kills development and results in stagnation. | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
The electoral system we had was nothing remarkable, but they have | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
simply castrated it. I apologise for my choice of words, but they | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
really have circumcised it. With less than a year to go before the | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
new Russian elections, Gorbachev says Putin should not stand again | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
as President. He says Russia needs to get back on the path to | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
democracy, and putting is not the leader to do it. | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
Heavy rain has caused flash flooding along the south coast of | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
England today. Portland in Dorset was hardest hit as a month's worth | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
of rain fell in just nine hours. In Bournemouth, there was chaos as | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
roads became submerged under several feet of water and the | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
central pleasure gardens were transformed into a lake. Its speed | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
even caught the emergency services off guard. The waters had such | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
force, they burst a gas pipe and tore up the surface of some roads. | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
Rain also affected the first day's play in the fourth Test between | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
England and India at The Oval. Having won the toss and elected to | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
bat, England openers Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook took the home | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
team to 75 without loss at lunch. After that, the rain started to | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
fall and play was eventually abandoned for the day. | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
It's the most famous football club in the world. But now the owners of | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
Manchester United are having to sell part of the club abroad in | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
order to pay off some of their mounting debts. The Glazer family, | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
who took control six years ago, hope to clear much of their �500 | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
million debt by floating on the Singapore Stock Exchange. The deal | :22:39. | :22:49. | |
:22:49. | :22:49. | ||
could be completed by the end of the year. | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
Champions on the pitch again last season, Manchester United have | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
three years led the way when it comes to generating cash. Despite | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
all that success, the club's American owners, the Glazer family, | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
remain unpopular with fans after borrowing hundreds of millions of | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
pounds to purchase the team in 2005. Now they have come up with a new | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
plan to start paying off those loans. Manchester United are the | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
richest sports team in the world, with an estimated valuation of just | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
over �1 billion. But United have debts of �500 million, which | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
incurred huge annual interest payments of �45 million. The | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
Glazers believe the club are worth even more money, and hope that by | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
selling off a large stake, they could raise as much as �600 million | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
to reduce debts and make it even harder for their rivals to keep up. | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
It is here in Singapore that United hope to raise that money, by | :23:50. | :23:57. | |
selling around a quarter of the club's shares on the stock market. | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
With 192 million fans based in Asia, they hope to exploit the popularity | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
of their brand. Supporters this evening welcomed the opportunity to | :24:05. | :24:13. | |
invest. It is a way for Singapore United fans to put money where | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
their parties, which is to own part of the club, to know that part of | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
the money goes to purchase the Rooneys of the future. The Glazers | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
have always said Manchester United are not for sale. But their | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
decision to float the club in Singapore will inevitably raise | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
questions over their long-term commitment. Critics are also asking | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
how the Glazers intend to spend all the money raised by the share issue. | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
The fans will be disappointed that the club has not chosen to list | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
here in the UK. They will be sceptical of the Glazers' | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
motivations until they see the details. It was business as usual | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
on the pitch for United's stars last weekend. The question now is, | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
will the owners' latest financial plan help remove the doubts over | :25:05. | :25:07. |
