:01:53. > :01:57.Ministers have been defending their handling of security arrangements
:01:57. > :02:01.for the Olympics after it emerged that they became fully aware
:02:02. > :02:07.yesterday that the firm, G4S, could not guarantee enough trained staff.
:02:07. > :02:11.Labour has called it a shambles, but the Home Secretary, Theresa May
:02:11. > :02:14.insisted that the overall security of London 2012 could not be com
:02:14. > :02:19.priced and confirmed that thousands more military personnel would be
:02:19. > :02:22.deployed to help. Here is our Security Correspondent,
:02:22. > :02:27.Gordon Corera. In uniform, on duty and at the
:02:27. > :02:31.Games. The British military called on it fill a crucial security gap
:02:31. > :02:36.because a private contractor cannot deliver.
:02:36. > :02:38.G4S has let the country down. We have literally had to send in
:02:38. > :02:42.the troops. When the Government identified that
:02:42. > :02:47.a need was there, we acted to ensure that we covered that
:02:47. > :02:50.requirement, so that we can assure that we have the venue security and
:02:50. > :02:54.the general security for the Games that we want.
:02:54. > :02:57.The extent of the problem became clear in the last two weeks, when
:02:57. > :03:02.venues like the Aquatics Centre were locked down. Meaning that
:03:02. > :03:07.anyone entering had to be checked. G4S failed to deploy the staff to
:03:07. > :03:10.support that process. Last December, organisers realised
:03:10. > :03:14.that they had underestimated the number of guards that they needed.
:03:14. > :03:19.More than doubling the total to 23,000.
:03:19. > :03:23.G4S took on a contract to supply more than 10,000 of those. While
:03:23. > :03:27.the military agreed to provide 7,500 personnel.
:03:27. > :03:32.Yesterday, G4S told the Government it could no longer guarantee its
:03:32. > :03:36.numbers, meaning that the military's contribution is rising
:03:36. > :03:40.to 11,000. Here G4S is till recruiting and training thousands
:03:40. > :03:45.of staff on a tight timeline. Critics have questioned whether it
:03:45. > :03:49.tried to do too much, too late in the day based on a business model
:03:49. > :03:54.designed to keep the costs down. Recruits may be arriving here, but
:03:54. > :03:59.the chief executive of G4S has been summoned to appear before MPs next
:03:59. > :04:04.week to explain what went wrong with the �284 million contract.
:04:04. > :04:08.Applicants have described a chaotic process, telling the BBC that after
:04:08. > :04:12.being trained over months, he was not being used.
:04:12. > :04:17.I was told so many time, yes, I have a job. I'm at the Olympics.
:04:17. > :04:21.Then I call them up, two or three days later to ask what is happening,
:04:21. > :04:25.they don't know. No-one does. They can't get a manager.
:04:25. > :04:30.In a statement, G4S, whose contract includes financial penalties said
:04:30. > :04:34.that they encountered delays in getting applicants in the final
:04:34. > :04:38.stages, but they are working hard to process them as swiftly as
:04:38. > :04:43.possible. Some of the troops deployed have returned from
:04:43. > :04:47.Afghanistan, others will have to cancel holidays. Some come from
:04:47. > :04:50.battalions due to be cut. You could argue rather not do it,
:04:50. > :04:54.but not everyone takes that attitude. I was there a week ago,
:04:54. > :04:57.they see it as a great national event. They want to do the right
:04:57. > :05:04.thing in order to ensure the security.
:05:04. > :05:08.Today, missiles arrived in London, another sign of a security
:05:08. > :05:11.operation unprecedented in peacetime. Officials are adamant
:05:11. > :05:15.that this will not compromise security, but it will not prevent
:05:15. > :05:20.questions being asked about the last-minute call-up.
:05:20. > :05:25.As well as the security concerns, there are fresh worries about the
:05:25. > :05:30.transport for the Games. The independent Chief Inspector of
:05:30. > :05:34.borders, John Vine said that the staff brought into to ease
:05:34. > :05:38.congestion at Heathrow Airport had only basic training and the M4 into
:05:38. > :05:42.London is closed for repair. We look at how the organisers are
:05:42. > :05:48.responding to the challenges. It is hardly the welcome that
:05:48. > :05:53.London wants to extend to Olympic visitors. This is passport control
:05:53. > :05:56.at Terminal 5 early this morning. More queues and apparently empty
:05:56. > :06:01.desks. Ministers say that they are drafting in staff to deal with the
:06:01. > :06:07.rush, but the author of a report on Britain's border controls had this
:06:07. > :06:10.warning: The agency has to ensure it has enough staff on the duty at
:06:10. > :06:14.the times that matter most in the Olympic period. What I have said is
:06:14. > :06:19.that they should have staff trained to ensure that they can do that,
:06:19. > :06:21.but also, importantly, to ensure that proper checks are carried out
:06:21. > :06:26.on all passengers arrive flooing the UK.
:06:26. > :06:31.Even if you can get through the airports, smoothly, the M4 into the
:06:31. > :06:38.London is closed. It will be shut until Monday while the engineers
:06:38. > :06:42.race to fix the overpass. Don't mention the weather. Today's day in
:06:42. > :06:47.way moth was almost wiped out by the great British summer. The
:06:47. > :06:49.forecast for the Games are not good. With the venues exposed to the
:06:49. > :06:53.elements, the fans are told to prepare.
:06:53. > :06:57.This is what we deal with. People should be ready to get wet?
:06:57. > :07:01.I hope not, but the chances are that they will do. It has been a
:07:01. > :07:04.tricky British summer. I don't have a hotline.
:07:04. > :07:08.Organisers say that the successful delivery of the Olympic Park is
:07:08. > :07:11.evidence that the preparation for the Games is going well, but with
:07:11. > :07:15.over a fortnight to go until the opening ceremony, the terror is
:07:15. > :07:21.starting to build. Even the smallest problem is certain to take
:07:21. > :07:23.on huge significance. Today touring the park, the Lord
:07:23. > :07:28.Mayor dismissed talk of an Olympic crisis.
:07:28. > :07:33.Well, it is always in the final furlong where the horses change
:07:33. > :07:37.places. It makes the difference between a good Olympic Games games
:07:37. > :07:41.and a great one. What you are seeing now is the last-minute final
:07:41. > :07:45.work that you would expect in any huge operation like this.
:07:45. > :07:49.Belt and braces stuff. Put the final nails in place.
:07:49. > :07:52.The Olympics brings with it a level of international attention which is
:07:52. > :07:57.without comparison. After the last few days, organisers will be
:07:57. > :08:01.desperate for the sport to take the focus away from some of London's
:08:01. > :08:05.problems. David is with me now. David,
:08:05. > :08:09.security, Heathrow, the M4? A lot of worries with a couple of weeks
:08:09. > :08:14.to go. It does not look good. This is a
:08:14. > :08:20.whole coming together of issues. When you add what one official
:08:20. > :08:24.described as the Olympic amply if Ication effect, it takes on a whole
:08:24. > :08:28.different complex. B and that will increase in the days before the
:08:28. > :08:31.Games, but on the big ticket items, the ministers and the organisers
:08:31. > :08:37.are confident that the park, the venues, even the team are doing
:08:37. > :08:42.well. If you look at past hosts, going back to ath insurance 2004,
:08:42. > :08:46.they were scrambling to get the parks ready, Beijing, the talk was
:08:46. > :08:51.of pollution and human rights problems, some of the problems that
:08:51. > :08:56.London are experiencing are not that significant, but over the next
:08:56. > :09:01.11 days, expect to see more tests for the organisers.
:09:01. > :09:06.Thank you. Three British climbers have died after they were hit by an
:09:06. > :09:10.avalanche in the French Alps. One of the victims is Roger Payne.
:09:10. > :09:14.The six other climbers were also killed in the accident. They were
:09:14. > :09:17.caught by a huge slab of ice, on a mountain near the resort of
:09:18. > :09:21.Chamonix. The French authorities say it may have been dislodged by
:09:21. > :09:25.another climber. We have this report.
:09:25. > :09:31.High in the mountains in the early hours of the morning. This is where
:09:31. > :09:34.a large slab of ice broke, sending it wall of snow and debris hurtling
:09:34. > :09:38.suddenly down the steep Alpine slopes.
:09:38. > :09:42.Alarge group of climbers were trapped in its path. Unlucky to be
:09:42. > :09:46.caught in the wrong place. Nine climbers were killed, three of them
:09:46. > :09:50.were British. These pictures were taken shortly
:09:50. > :09:58.after the avalanche struck. The next group of climbers helping in
:09:58. > :10:01.any way that they could as rescue teams began to arrive to evacuate
:10:01. > :10:05.the injured and search for the missing.
:10:05. > :10:08.We saw the air launch and the injured climbers, those that
:10:08. > :10:13.managed to escape. They were walking up.
:10:13. > :10:18.In my group there were two doctors. I went there with them. I tried the
:10:18. > :10:22.best as we could. It happened in the French Alps Alps,
:10:22. > :10:28.close to the popular skiing resort of Chamonix. The climbers were
:10:28. > :10:34.trying to ascend Europe's highest peak, Mont Blanc on the second most
:10:34. > :10:41.popular route by Mont Maudit. The name in French means cursed. It has
:10:41. > :10:48.been confirmed that one of the dead was Roger Payne. The former head of
:10:49. > :10:53.the British Mountaineering Council. This footage was taken two weeks
:10:53. > :10:58.ago, close to where the avalanche took place. Treacherous conditions
:10:58. > :11:02.after heavy rains and high winds. Two British climbers, originally
:11:02. > :11:07.thought to be missing had turned back and arrived safely in Chamonix.
:11:07. > :11:10.Others had had second thoughts before deciding to tackle the
:11:10. > :11:15.mountain, fearing that an avalanche could happen.
:11:15. > :11:19.You could see where there had been an avalanche on the Saturday.
:11:19. > :11:25.Literally, the conditions were not great due to the high temperatures
:11:25. > :11:30.in the daytime and heavy rainfall in the evening with the storms at
:11:30. > :11:34.night it looked like it was going to happen at any time.
:11:34. > :11:38.This beautiful area around Mont Blanc is popular with casual
:11:38. > :11:42.tourists and serious climbers alike. High up on the slopes it is
:11:42. > :11:47.dangerous, but this is the deadliest avalanche in the French
:11:47. > :11:53.Alps Alps in more than ten years. The climbers who died today knew
:11:53. > :11:58.the risks that they were taking. And the rescue teams knew how hard
:11:58. > :12:03.it is for to survive for long, buried beneath the snow on one of
:12:03. > :12:07.Europe's highest peaks. A husband and wife who were
:12:07. > :12:12.convicted of exploiting and abusing men at a caravan site in
:12:12. > :12:17.Bedfordshire and using them as forced labour have been jailed for
:12:17. > :12:23.11 and four years respectively. The judge said that James John Connors
:12:23. > :12:27.and his wife, were violent, cold- hearted exploitives whose crimes
:12:27. > :12:36.were evil. Two former hotel workers have been
:12:36. > :12:39.found not guilty for murdering a woman from Northern Ireland while
:12:39. > :12:45.on honeymoon. Michaela McAreavey was murdered at a luxury resort in
:12:45. > :12:48.January of last year. A corner in has ruled that neglect
:12:48. > :12:54.by medical staff at a London hospital, partly contributed to the
:12:54. > :12:57.death and the dehydration of a 22- year-old man as he recovered from
:12:57. > :13:01.surgery. Kane Gorny called the police from his bed at St George's
:13:01. > :13:05.Hospital in tooting. When the officers arrived he claimed he was
:13:05. > :13:11.refused water. He had been the picture of health,
:13:11. > :13:14.but Kane Gorny died desperate for a drink of water N of all places, a
:13:14. > :13:20.hospital. The 22-year-old had suffered a
:13:20. > :13:23.brain tumour in 2008. He recovered but after, his body had problems
:13:23. > :13:26.retaining fluid and his bones were weak.
:13:26. > :13:30.He returned to St George's Hospital the following year for a hip
:13:30. > :13:35.replacement. Today his mother was in court to hear a coroner say that
:13:35. > :13:44.the neglect her son suffered at St George's Hospital contributed to
:13:44. > :13:48.We as a family have been devastated to hear of the number of missed
:13:48. > :13:53.opportunities to avert our son's tragic death. Mr Gorny underwent
:13:53. > :13:58.with a was a routine operation on May 26th. The following afternoon,
:13:58. > :14:03.because of his symptoms, he became aggressive and called 99. He told
:14:03. > :14:09.police officers he was being denied water. He was later sedated. The
:14:09. > :14:15.alarm was raised at 9.00 am the following morning when he was found
:14:15. > :14:20.in a critical condition. He died at 11.20. The coroner said there had
:14:20. > :14:25.been a cascade of individual errors which had led to a tragic outcome.
:14:25. > :14:29.There lpbt been any reckless conduct, she said, it was simply
:14:29. > :14:36.incompetence. The inquest was told the hospital's failings included
:14:36. > :14:41.some of the nurses being out of their depth. Mr Gorny's vital signs
:14:41. > :14:47.weren't checked for 24-hours. Observation charts weren't fit for
:14:47. > :14:51.purpose. It is clear that in this occasion our services fell short of
:14:51. > :14:56.expectation in a number of respects and, for this, we are profoundly
:14:56. > :15:05.sorry. The Crown Prosecution Service say it is will wait to hear
:15:05. > :15:14.from the police before deciding whether to review his case. Coming

:15:32. > :15:37.provider, O2, ahas apologised for a systems failure which left a third
:15:37. > :15:42.of its customers, up to 7 million people, unable to make calls, text
:15:42. > :15:49.or access the internet. O2 says all services have now been restored.
:15:49. > :15:52.Here is Rory Cellan-Jones. It was 24-hours in which millions of O2
:15:52. > :15:59.customers found out what life was like without a functioning mobile
:15:59. > :16:03.phone. They didn't like it. Verity Price, who we reached via an
:16:03. > :16:08.internet call, was out of contact with her husband and other members
:16:08. > :16:12.of the family, who were all on O2 phones. Frightening that I can't
:16:12. > :16:16.contact anybody. Frightening that I haven't been able to contact my
:16:16. > :16:21.family. I don't know if they are OK. I don't know if my husband is OK.
:16:21. > :16:26.It has been quite worrying. This small business found out that
:16:26. > :16:30.losing a mobile phone connection also meant losing customers. It was
:16:30. > :16:33.really bad for us yesterday. We didn't have any orders. Deliveries
:16:33. > :16:37.weren't getting to where they were meant to go because they didn't
:16:37. > :16:42.have our phone number. This sort much issue affects a particular
:16:42. > :16:48.location. What was different this time was that someone on one O2
:16:48. > :16:50.phone could find it working well, but someone sitting next to them on
:16:50. > :16:56.the same network couldn't do anything with their phone. The
:16:56. > :17:01.problem was the network was unable to recognise certain customers.
:17:01. > :17:07.After repairing a fault, which inconvenienced up to a third of it
:17:07. > :17:11.is customers, O2 has to mend fences quickly. I completely understand
:17:11. > :17:15.why people are frustrated. The service of your mobile phone is
:17:15. > :17:20.essential to customers. We completely get. That I get that as

:17:24. > :17:27.will redouble my efforts to make sure it can't happen again. O2's
:17:28. > :17:36.customers can connect again, but with the Olympics expected to put a

:18:07. > :18:09.following a disputed Orange Order parade. Petrol bombs have been
:18:10. > :18:13.thrown in Londonderry and there has been some disorder in Craigavon.
:18:13. > :18:18.Police say the situation is under control and political leaders have
:18:18. > :18:23.appealled for calm. It had been peaceful in Belfast, but the longer
:18:23. > :18:33.the day went on, in this part of the city, the more violent it
:18:33. > :18:34.
:18:34. > :18:38.became. The trouble broke out after a march by the Orange Order. The
:18:38. > :18:45.parade went past the Ardoyne district. Local residents protested
:18:45. > :18:50.peacefully, then the trouble broke out. The MP for North Belfast
:18:50. > :18:53.blamed dissident republicans. want to attack the police and their
:18:53. > :18:57.Protestant neighbours to bring about violence and derail the peace
:18:57. > :19:04.process. That is what they are about, nothing else. All roads in
:19:04. > :19:07.and out of the area were closed. The majority of the people here are,
:19:07. > :19:12.basically, sick to the stomach of this. I mean, they have seen it
:19:12. > :19:16.down through the years. They don't want it. Most of the parades across
:19:16. > :19:21.Northern Ireland passed off peacefully. The marching season so
:19:21. > :19:25.far this year has been relatively calm. The recent handshake between
:19:25. > :19:29.the Queen and Sinn Fein's mart anyone mg Guinness demonstrated how
:19:30. > :19:33.Northern Ireland is changing. The trouble in North Belfast tonight
:19:33. > :19:37.showed there is a long way to go. It is a very difficult night for
:19:37. > :19:42.the police in Northern Ireland. There is a large loyalist crowd on
:19:42. > :19:46.one side of the road, and a large republican crowd behind the
:19:46. > :19:50.buildings on the other side. They do have extra resources. As often
:19:50. > :19:53.happens in Northern Ireland, the police are stuck in the middle.
:19:53. > :20:02.Thousands of officers are still on duty. It has been a long day for
:20:02. > :20:05.them, and it's not over yet. 50 years ago, when they walked on

:22:20. > :22:26.again, do you think? We're playing around with the idea. We've had a
:22:26. > :22:34.couple of rehearsals. We got together lately. It feels so good.
:22:34. > :22:39.I think soon. What can I say? everybody liked the Rolling Stones.
:22:39. > :22:43.Some of those that did don't think they are quite what they were in
