:00:11. > :00:15.into claims that police tried to discredit the family of Stephen

:00:15. > :00:20.Lawrence. 20 years after the teenager was murdered in south

:00:20. > :00:24.London, ministers seek to reassure the family. The house will agree

:00:24. > :00:27.with me about the seriousness of allegations concerning police

:00:27. > :00:33.corruption and wrongdoing. We must be ruthless in purging such

:00:33. > :00:39.behaviour from its ranks. We need a public inquiry led by a judge to try

:00:39. > :00:42.and sort out this mess. We will be asking how difficult it will be to

:00:42. > :00:45.uncover the truth about the latest claims.

:00:45. > :00:49.Also tonight, Nelson Mandela is still a critical condition in

:00:49. > :00:54.hospital, the president says doctors are doing they can.

:00:54. > :00:58.Nine months after the gun attack on a British family in the French Alps,

:00:58. > :01:02.a man is arrested in Surrey. A seven-year jail term for Silvio

:01:02. > :01:06.Berlusconi, the former Italian Prime Minister, for having sex with an

:01:06. > :01:11.underage prostitute. And Rafael Nadal is knocked out of the men's

:01:12. > :01:16.singles on the opening day of Wimbledon.

:01:16. > :01:20.Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News, more reaction to Rafael Nadal's

:01:20. > :01:30.exit, but Andy Murray is still on track, he beat Benjamin Becker in

:01:30. > :01:46.

:01:46. > :01:49.straight sets to progress to round will investigate claims that police

:01:49. > :01:53.tried to discredit the family of murdered black teenager Stephen

:01:53. > :01:57.Lawrence. David Cameron said that he wanted to get the full truth about

:01:57. > :02:01.the allegations, but Stephen's father says he has no confidence in

:02:01. > :02:05.the response and he wants a judge led public inquiry. Home affairs

:02:05. > :02:13.correspondent times on -- Tom Symonds reports.

:02:13. > :02:17.The repercussions of his racist murder go on and on. There is now

:02:17. > :02:21.growing evidence that in the heated atmosphere following Stephen

:02:21. > :02:23.Lawrence's death, as his family mourn their loss and angry

:02:23. > :02:25.protesters took to the streets, someone was watching them and

:02:25. > :02:30.reporting back. Today the row about undercover police officers reached

:02:30. > :02:33.Number Ten. These are absolutely dreadful allegations, and one can

:02:33. > :02:38.only think of the Lawrence family, we suffered so much from the loss of

:02:38. > :02:42.their son and now suffer again, hearing that potentially the police

:02:42. > :02:47.that were meant to be helping them were actually undermining them.

:02:47. > :02:52.the centre of the row is Peter Francis. They wanted any

:02:52. > :02:55.intelligence that could smear the campaign. He claims to have

:02:55. > :03:01.infiltrated at least one anti-racist group which supported the family,

:03:01. > :03:05.looking for information to discredit them. He did not find anything. The

:03:05. > :03:13.Home Secretary today said that two existing enquiries would now

:03:13. > :03:16.consider the claims that he has made. For obvious reasons, police

:03:16. > :03:21.cannot know details of undercover operations, but we must have

:03:21. > :03:25.assurances that the work is carried out properly and within ethical

:03:25. > :03:29.guidelines. The primary investigation is code-named

:03:29. > :03:32.Operation Herne. Set up to look at the actions of dozens of covert

:03:32. > :03:35.officers, it is led by the Derbyshire Chief Constable, Mick

:03:35. > :03:40.Creedon, and overseen by the Independent Police Complaints

:03:41. > :03:45.Commission. It may result in officers facing criminal charges. A

:03:45. > :03:49.separate ongoing review of police corruption in the Lawrence case,

:03:49. > :03:56.chaired by barrister Mark Ellison QC, will also be widened to take in

:03:56. > :04:01.the latest revelations. Yvette Cooper. Labour said the government

:04:01. > :04:06.should have created a single, new inquiry instead.

:04:06. > :04:10.The key question tonight is who approved any covert operations in

:04:10. > :04:15.the Lawrence case. So Paul Condon, the commissioner who took over four

:04:15. > :04:18.months before Stephen died, today firmly denied it was him. And the

:04:18. > :04:23.current commissioner said that answering that question would be a

:04:23. > :04:27.challenge. Going back over that long period of time causes problems for

:04:27. > :04:30.investigations. You have to find witnesses, many of whom have left

:04:30. > :04:35.the Metropolitan Police. You have provided documents and computer

:04:35. > :04:38.records, this takes a lot of time. And you have to correlated, making

:04:38. > :04:43.sure that what people say is consistent. Neville Lawrence lives

:04:43. > :04:48.in Jamaica. This afternoon he said two expanded enquiries would not be

:04:48. > :04:53.enough. We need a public inquiry led by a judge to try and sort out this

:04:53. > :04:58.mess. We don't want to go another ten years from now on something as

:04:58. > :05:01.happened. I don't even know if I am going to be alive for another ten

:05:01. > :05:07.years, I need to get this sorted out, done and dusted, so I can get

:05:07. > :05:13.on with my life. Sadly, for him, the long road that began with Stephen's

:05:13. > :05:17.death leads on. His son 's grave is in Jamaica, and the controversy

:05:17. > :05:20.surrounding the case guarantees that his name and face are unlikely to be

:05:20. > :05:24.forgotten for years to come. Live to Scotland Yard and Tom is

:05:24. > :05:27.there for us now. Given the complexity that you were underlining

:05:27. > :05:33.there and the overlapping nature of the enquiries, how difficult will it

:05:33. > :05:37.be to work out what happened? Huw, Operation Herne has been going

:05:37. > :05:41.on for some time, and the row about undercover officers has been going

:05:41. > :05:44.on for some time, and as a result it has built up a body of work it needs

:05:44. > :05:50.to get through. It is investigating dozens of officers, seemingly more

:05:50. > :05:55.everyday, and it has 22 police officers of its own to do that work.

:05:55. > :05:58.It is dealing with 55,000 documents, so you can see the scale of the

:05:58. > :06:02.task. But beyond that, these officers are accused of lots of

:06:02. > :06:07.things - for example, having relationships with activists, using

:06:07. > :06:11.the names of dead children as cover names. Also, potentially breaking

:06:11. > :06:14.the law themselves. After today, there is going to be a strand of

:06:14. > :06:21.whether the Metropolitan Police was using undercover officers to defend

:06:21. > :06:24.its own reputation, in a wide range potentially protest groups. So it

:06:24. > :06:31.could all get very complex, and I think, reading between the lines,

:06:31. > :06:33.Neville Lawrence's concern is that the concerns about this case might

:06:33. > :06:36.get lost in all that detail. But Mick Creedon, the Chief Constable of

:06:36. > :06:40.Derbyshire, leading this investigation, Operation Herne, has

:06:40. > :06:44.said very clearly today that if officers have been proven have

:06:44. > :06:50.broken the law, they will be prosecuted.

:06:50. > :06:54.Thanks very much, Tom Symonds at new Scotland Yard.

:06:54. > :06:58.Nelson Mandela remains critically ill in hospital in Pretoria. He has

:06:58. > :07:02.been suffering from a persistent lung condition. Jacob Zuma originals

:07:02. > :07:07.of Africans to pray for him and says doctors were doing all they could to

:07:07. > :07:13.make him more comfortable. Africa correspondent Andrew Harding is at

:07:13. > :07:17.the hospital with the latest. Yes, Huw, good evening. For some

:07:17. > :07:21.time the authorities here have been trying to sound as upbeat as humanly

:07:21. > :07:25.possible about Nelson Mandela's eight, but that has now changed to

:07:25. > :07:28.magically. We are not being told a great deal of medical information,

:07:28. > :07:37.but tonight the authorities are making it very clear that Nelson

:07:37. > :07:41.Mandela is indeed fighting for his Anxiety and hope plastered on the

:07:41. > :07:46.walls outside Nelson Mandela's hospital today, messages of support

:07:46. > :07:49.for an increasingly frail man. The 94-year-old, already in intensive

:07:49. > :07:54.care, took another turn for the worse this weekend, his condition

:07:54. > :08:01.now described as critical. Doctors are doing everything possible to

:08:01. > :08:06.ensure his well-being and comfort. Perhaps you could give us more

:08:06. > :08:11.information about his condition. What I understand is that when a

:08:11. > :08:19.person is critical, the person is critical. I am not a doctor to

:08:19. > :08:23.describe conditions. To say how critical. I think that is the

:08:23. > :08:25.business of a doctor. Nelson Mandela's lungs were damaged by

:08:25. > :08:30.tuberculosis during the years he spent in prison for fighting against

:08:30. > :08:35.white minority rule. In old age, he has battled against repeated

:08:35. > :08:39.infections. Today his family, daughters, grandchildren and his

:08:39. > :08:45.ex-wife, came to visit him in hospital. After a tense fortnight,

:08:45. > :08:49.the mood here is increasingly sombre. It is hard to convey you

:08:49. > :08:53.hold that Nelson Mandela still has this country is emergent nation.

:08:54. > :09:03.Liberation hero, Peacemaker, even if some worry now that South Africa is

:09:04. > :09:04.

:09:04. > :09:08.losing its way. He has played his role, the rest is left for us.

:09:08. > :09:15.South Africa be OK once he has gone? It makes no difference with or

:09:15. > :09:25.without Mandela. People are suffering. What does he mean to you?

:09:25. > :09:34.

:09:35. > :09:41.Without him, I would not be sitting tonight, but no fresh information

:09:41. > :09:45.about the patient within. There is concern here continuing to

:09:45. > :09:50.grow, and we understand that Nelson Mandela's wife, grass Shell, has

:09:50. > :09:56.been at his bedside overnight, sleeping in the hospital. As time

:09:56. > :09:59.goes by, people are becoming more comfortable, if you like, with the

:09:59. > :10:04.sense of the inevitability of about where all this is leading, and

:10:04. > :10:09.indeed you do stars to hear people discussing Nelson Mandela's legacy

:10:09. > :10:13.in a way that would have been unthinkable just a few weeks ago.

:10:13. > :10:17.Thank you, Andrew Harding, with the latest.

:10:17. > :10:20.A man has been arrested by police investigating the murders of three

:10:20. > :10:24.members of a British family in the French Alps last summer. He is

:10:24. > :10:29.believed to be the brother of Saad al-Hilli, who was shot dead in his

:10:29. > :10:34.car, along with his wife and mother-in-law. They're two young job

:10:34. > :10:38.and survived the attack. Daniela Relph reports. -- their two young

:10:38. > :10:44.children. Brutal, ruthless and baffling, the

:10:44. > :10:48.family car was riddled with bullet holes, a sign of the savagery of the

:10:48. > :10:52.murder in a picturesque part of the French Alps. It is understood that

:10:52. > :10:57.Zaid al-Hilli was arrested at around 7:30am this morning. We had

:10:57. > :11:00.previously spoken to police as a witness, but the rest was on

:11:00. > :11:04.suspicion of conspiracy to murder. His brother, Saad al-Hilli, was

:11:04. > :11:09.killed along with his wife and mother-in-law. There had been

:11:09. > :11:14.rumours of a feud between the brothers over an inheritance. The

:11:14. > :11:19.family was attacked near a hamlet in the French Alps. Just before four

:11:19. > :11:22.o'clock local time on the 5th of September last year, their car was

:11:22. > :11:28.found by a British man who was cycling in the area. Inside were the

:11:28. > :11:32.bodies of the three adult members of the family. Outside, Saad

:11:32. > :11:35.al-Hilli's elder daughter was found seriously injured. When forensic

:11:35. > :11:41.teams arrived from Paris eight hours later, they discovered her

:11:41. > :11:44.four-year-old sister, still inside the car, hiding by her mother's

:11:44. > :11:49.body. Zaid al-Hilli has always denied being involved in the

:11:49. > :11:55.murders. He said there was no family row over money and that he had a

:11:55. > :12:00.good relationship with his brother. Detectives spent much of the day

:12:00. > :12:04.searching his flat and took away a number of items. The French police

:12:04. > :12:08.continue to work closely with the Surrey force. The chief prosecutor

:12:08. > :12:18.in France has always said that there would be no quick solution to this

:12:18. > :12:19.

:12:19. > :12:22.the whereabouts of Edward Snowden, the former CIA worker who leaked

:12:22. > :12:26.information about a secret American surveillance programme. He arrived

:12:26. > :12:30.in Moscow yesterday from Hong Kong, where he had fled earlier this

:12:30. > :12:34.month. The White House says it expects Russia to look at all

:12:34. > :12:41.options to expel Mr Snowden, but the government of Ecuador says it is

:12:41. > :12:48.considering a request to grant him asylum, as Gordon Corera reports.

:12:48. > :12:53.Aeroflot flight SU150 from Moscow to Havana, packed with journalists, but

:12:53. > :12:58.see to 70A, booked in the name of Edward Snowden, was empty. The plane

:12:58. > :13:02.took off a few minutes late, leaving the whereabouts of the former spy a

:13:02. > :13:06.mystery, and Washington still looking for him. What we know is

:13:06. > :13:11.that we are following all the appropriate legal channels and

:13:11. > :13:15.working with various other countries to make sure that the rule of law is

:13:15. > :13:20.observed. Snowden is wanted for spilling secrets about Britain's

:13:20. > :13:24.GCHQ and America's NSA. How the latter has been gathering

:13:24. > :13:30.information on domestic phone calls, and how GCHQ has been tapping

:13:30. > :13:34.into global communications traffic. Edward Snowden is on the run, a

:13:34. > :13:40.wanted man. He left his job as a contract in Hawaii in June for Hong

:13:40. > :13:44.Kong, where he began to leak documents. This weekend he fled

:13:44. > :13:48.American attempts to and extradite him from Hong Kong to Moscow, and

:13:48. > :13:52.today he was expected to go to Havana. He has been accompanied by

:13:52. > :13:56.this woman, Sarah Harrison, who works with Julian Assange's

:13:56. > :14:04.WikiLeaks. Assange is holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and

:14:04. > :14:11.says that Ecuador is where Snowden wants to go. The current status of

:14:11. > :14:16.Mr Snowden and Miss Harrison, both are healthy and safe. I cannot give

:14:16. > :14:21.further information as to their whereabouts or present circumstances

:14:21. > :14:25.other than to say that the matter is in hand.

:14:25. > :14:30.Washington is making clear its annoyance with countries that have

:14:30. > :14:36.allowed Snowden to escape its grasp. For the moment, the former spy has

:14:36. > :14:39.disappeared from view. A court in Milan has sentenced the

:14:39. > :14:43.former Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, to seven years in

:14:43. > :14:48.jail for having sex with an under-age prostitute. Tonight Mr

:14:48. > :14:50.Berlusconi said he was entirely innocent of the charges and insisted

:14:50. > :14:57.the conviction was politically motivated. The sentence won't come

:14:57. > :15:00.into force yet as he has the right to appeal. This report contains

:15:00. > :15:04.flash photography. For the former Italian Prime

:15:04. > :15:10.Minister, this was a humiliation, to be found guilty of paying for sex

:15:10. > :15:18.with a 17-year-old, under-age erotic dancer. Silvio Berlusconi was not in

:15:18. > :15:23.court to hear the sentence. The three women judges sentenced him to

:15:23. > :15:28.seven years, but he is most unlikely to see the inside of a prison.

:15:28. > :15:32.TRANSLATION: It's not a question of being political or apolitical. It's

:15:32. > :15:39.a sentence that's completely out of reality and unrelated to the

:15:39. > :15:44.evidence during the trial. Ruby's real name was Karima El Mahroug, who

:15:44. > :15:48.had been invited to the so-called bunga bunga parties in his Villa.

:15:48. > :15:53.She also was not in court. Ruby has denied having sex with the former

:15:53. > :15:58.Italian leader. The prosecution alleges she had been paid off with

:15:58. > :16:05.4. 5 million euros. She also has been giving evidence in another

:16:05. > :16:09.trial, in which three of Berlusconi's aides, including a TV

:16:09. > :16:14.performer, was accused of procuring women for the parties. They deny the

:16:14. > :16:18.charges. One of those who attended the bunga bunga parties was this

:16:18. > :16:24.woman. She told me that the evenings were polite dinners, although later

:16:24. > :16:29.she was reported as admitting having had sex with the former premiere.

:16:29. > :16:36.TRANSLATION: A girl would never come up with this by herself. People make

:16:36. > :16:40.up stories. There are others behind this trying to harm him. Silvio

:16:40. > :16:45.Berlusconi was also today banned from public office for abusing his

:16:45. > :16:49.position to help Ruby. He will now appeal. He insisted again today he

:16:49. > :16:55.was innocent and that the case was an attempt to remove him from public

:16:55. > :17:00.life. It's a very, very serious issue, very, very political issue

:17:00. > :17:09.and I think that this verdict will have an impact on the Italian

:17:10. > :17:13.history. The verdict has divided public opinion. This woman said -

:17:13. > :17:17.seven years is little. They should have given him even more. The

:17:17. > :17:21.political concern is that this verdict will deepen divisions and

:17:21. > :17:30.sharpen tension inside the governing coalition that Berlusconi is part

:17:30. > :17:35.of, at an economically fragile time for Italy.

:17:35. > :17:38.Lebanon is experiencing some of the worst violence since the start of

:17:38. > :17:43.the Syrian conflict two years ago. Sectarian outbreaks continue to

:17:43. > :17:49.spill over the border. For the second day, there have been violent

:17:49. > :17:51.clashes in Sidon, 25 miles south of the capital. At least 16 soldiers

:17:51. > :17:56.have been killed and 50 people wounded after the army fought with

:17:56. > :18:02.armed supporters of a hard-line Sunni Muslim cleric. Our Middle East

:18:02. > :18:07.Editor, Jeremy Bowen reports. The Lebanese army sent in heavy

:18:07. > :18:13.weapons and has captured the mosque that was the headquarters of the

:18:13. > :18:19.Sunni Muslim gunmen they've been fighting. Armed clashes started

:18:19. > :18:25.inside at the end of last week. On Sunday, the Sunni gunmen attacked

:18:25. > :18:31.the Lebanese army. It's traditionally seen in Lebanon as a

:18:31. > :18:36.truly national institution. The attacks in Sidon and this show of

:18:36. > :18:42.force in Tripoli, the second city, are a direct sectarian challenge to

:18:42. > :18:47.the weak Lebanese state. These gunmen are a vocal and dangerous

:18:47. > :18:56.minority, inspired by an extremist Sunni cleric, who says the Lebanese

:18:56. > :19:00.army is a tool of Hezbollah. Last week, he said we're having daily

:19:00. > :19:07.problems with the army. They're doing nothing to protect us from the

:19:07. > :19:12.Shia militia. We have to do something to defend ourselves.

:19:12. > :19:17.Army families have started burying their dead. Power in Lebanon is

:19:17. > :19:20.split between religious groups. Peace in Lebanon depends on

:19:20. > :19:25.preserving a delicate balance of power. The spilling over into beb

:19:25. > :19:31.none of deck tarn killing from -- Lebanon of sectarian killing from

:19:31. > :19:38.Syria means the country's losing balance. The Syrian Foreign Minister

:19:38. > :19:41.talked about the dangers of what's happening in Sidon.

:19:41. > :19:45.TRANSLATION: It's so dangerous. We've warned from the beginning of

:19:45. > :19:51.the crisis that the reflections of what's going on in Syria will be

:19:51. > :19:55.dangerous for our neighbours. In Lebanon, the army is caught

:19:55. > :20:02.between Sunnis, who tend to support the Syrian rebels, and Shia, who

:20:02. > :20:11.tend to support the Assad regime. The Syrian war is super heating the

:20:11. > :20:12.1400-year-old quarrel between the two main branches of Islam. Tension

:20:12. > :20:16.between Shia and Sunni Muslims is increasing across the Middle East.

:20:16. > :20:19.In Egypt, four Shi'ites, including a well known cleric, were killed by a

:20:20. > :20:24.mob at the weekend. The killings have been widely condemned in Egypt,

:20:24. > :20:32.but some critic's the Egypt's president, a religious Sunni, have

:20:32. > :20:37.accused him of not doing enough to stop incitement against Shia Muslims

:20:37. > :20:40.by Sunni preachers. In the Middle East many believe the growing crisis

:20:40. > :20:44.between Shias and Sunnis is the most dangerous threat they face. Syria

:20:44. > :20:49.starts at the top of the ridge and Lebanon is vulnerable to what

:20:49. > :20:58.happens there. Across the Middle East, this new era risks being

:20:58. > :21:03.defined by sectarian conflict. Two health executives at the centre

:21:03. > :21:07.of allegations of a cover up by the Care Quality Commission have denied

:21:07. > :21:11.suppressing a critical internal report. Jill Finney, a former deputy

:21:11. > :21:13.chief executive, insists that she hadn't tried to cover up failings in

:21:13. > :21:20.the way the regulator investigated the deaths of babies at a hospital

:21:20. > :21:22.in Cumbria. Her former boss, Cynthia Bower, claimed she too was being

:21:22. > :21:28.unfairly claimed. Our health correspondent Branwen Jefferies

:21:28. > :21:31.reports. Poor care at the maternity unit in

:21:31. > :21:35.Furness cost babies' lives. Even as concerns were emerging the watchdog

:21:35. > :21:40.gave the Trust a clean bill of health. Joshua Titcombe died at nine

:21:40. > :21:45.days old from a treatable infection. His family among several that wanted

:21:45. > :21:50.to know how that could happen. So the CQC ordered a review but that

:21:50. > :21:54.was never published. Four officialed were at a meeting in March 2012

:21:54. > :21:58.where it was discussed. Cynthia Bower and her deputy, Jill Finney,

:21:58. > :22:03.are alleged to have ordered the report to be deleted, an allegation

:22:03. > :22:08.they say is wrong. Now Jill Finney has spoken for the first time,

:22:08. > :22:12.arguing there was no cover up. recollection of the meeting is that

:22:12. > :22:17.the report needed further work. We felt it came to the work conclusion,

:22:17. > :22:21.because whilst it challenged what we had done, it said that actually,

:22:21. > :22:26.therefore, CQC had done all that was sufficient. That was not correct.

:22:26. > :22:32.CQC could and should have done more. Cynthia Bower faced criticism from

:22:32. > :22:36.MPs when she was chief executive of the CQC. In an interview with the

:22:36. > :22:41.independent newspaper she has hit back saying she's been hung out to

:22:41. > :22:47.dry by the new chief executive. She criticised the decision to publish

:22:47. > :22:53.allegations based on notes taken by one person at the meeting. If David

:22:53. > :22:56.Bien really believed there had been a cover up by the previous chief

:22:56. > :22:59.executive he should have referred it to the police. The police are

:22:59. > :23:03.looking into what happened but have no decision about whether to take

:23:04. > :23:07.action. For the doctors gathered here, this row is one part of a

:23:07. > :23:13.wider debate about the culture within the NHS. Is it open enough

:23:13. > :23:18.when it makes mistakes? Can they raise concerns? The doctors' union

:23:18. > :23:23.says things are changing for the better, but slowly. It's not getting

:23:23. > :23:28.better quick enough and everywhere. Doctors are still concerned that

:23:28. > :23:33.when they want to raise serious concerns they might be victimised or

:23:33. > :23:37.harassed. Ministers say the culture in the NHS is changing and they have

:23:37. > :23:43.confidence in the new leadership team at the watchdog, but this

:23:43. > :23:50.damaging row about whether there was a cover up or not shows no signs of

:23:50. > :23:53.diminishing. Tennis now, there's been a major

:23:53. > :23:56.surprise on the opening day at Wimbledon. The former men's

:23:56. > :24:00.champion, Rafael Nadal, has been knocked out in the first round.

:24:00. > :24:08.Britain's Andy Murray enjoyed a convincing victory in under two

:24:08. > :24:14.hours. Some things never change, whether

:24:14. > :24:20.it's the queues outside or the cuisine inside. Amid the tradition,

:24:20. > :24:25.day one was about to shock. Rafael Nadal, the French Open champion, his

:24:25. > :24:34.opponent someone called Steve Darcis from Belgium, 135th in the world,

:24:34. > :24:39.the definition of a journeyman. No contest? No chance. Nadal, seemingly

:24:39. > :24:46.hampered by a knee problem, looked entirely out of sorts. As he wobbled

:24:46. > :24:50.Darcis didn't, seizing his moment in spell binding style. There's nothing

:24:50. > :24:58.wrong with his knees. The result - one of the biggest giant killings in

:24:58. > :25:03.Wimbledon history. A straight sets win for Darcis as glorious in

:25:03. > :25:08.victory as his opponent was gracious in defeat. Congratulate Steve

:25:08. > :25:17.Darcis. He played a fantastic match. Everything I will say today about

:25:17. > :25:22.any knee -- my knee is an excuse. Andy Murray's day was comparatively

:25:22. > :25:26.dull. No bad thing. He wasn't quite at his best, but he was too good for

:25:26. > :25:33.Benjamin Becker. Murray, the only British winner today. At least the

:25:33. > :25:38.home crowd had something to celebrate.

:25:38. > :25:42.Game, set and match Murray. cheers here on the hill for Andy

:25:42. > :25:46.Murray. His fans know far tougher tests will follow, but on a dramatic

:25:46. > :25:49.first day, it's a solid start. There's always nerves before the

:25:49. > :25:53.first match in a Grand Slam, especially here, for me. Glad to get

:25:53. > :25:59.it out of the way and hopefully, I'll keep improving. There was a

:25:59. > :26:04.straight sets win for Roger Federer, who demolished his opponent in
