treatment that would allow a baby to be born with DNA from three people.

:00:12.:00:16.

The IVF technique, developed in Britain, has the potential to be a

:00:16.:00:20.

global first, wiping out several inherited conditions. Families who

:00:21.:00:24.

know the reality of those conditions and who have lost children to them

:00:24.:00:30.

say it is a breakthrough. You live with it, and every day you don't

:00:30.:00:36.

want to get over it, and this would have made a huge difference.

:00:36.:00:40.

after criticism of so-called designer babies, we will be looking

:00:40.:00:45.

at the long-term implications. Also tonight, Ian Brady loses his bid to

:00:45.:00:49.

be moved from a maximum-security hospital to jail after a tribunal

:00:49.:00:56.

rejects his case. Turmoil in Egypt as the president

:00:56.:00:59.

marks one year in office, his opponents and his supporters take to

:00:59.:01:09.
:01:09.:01:09.

And a good day for the home crowd at Wimbledon - Andy Murray and Laura

:01:09.:01:13.

Robson are through to the next round.

:01:13.:01:17.

And I will have more on the tennis and the rest of the day's sports

:01:18.:01:22.

stories, including Rory McIlroy missing the cut at the Irish open,

:01:22.:01:32.
:01:32.:01:46.

coming up in Sportsday here on BBC become the first country to allow

:01:46.:01:51.

genetic material from three people to create a baby. The aim is to

:01:51.:01:54.

prevent couples from passing severe disabilities onto their children,

:01:55.:01:59.

and potentially removing the risk for future generations, too. The

:02:00.:02:03.

ground-breaking IVF procedure will be the subject of draft legislation

:02:03.:02:07.

introduced later this year. But some critics think it is unethical.

:02:07.:02:11.

Medical correspondent Fergus Walsh reports.

:02:11.:02:16.

A bold step for science and society, these images under the

:02:16.:02:19.

microscope show the very moment that DNA from three people is mixed to

:02:19.:02:24.

create a human embryo in order to eliminate devastating genetic

:02:24.:02:29.

disorders. The scientists in Newcastle who carried out those

:02:29.:02:34.

safety tests in a dish now have the green light from government and

:02:34.:02:39.

could start treating patients within two years. I am particularly

:02:39.:02:44.

delighted for the families, many of whom have mitochondrial disease. I

:02:44.:02:48.

think it is great news for them, because it does give all we hope it

:02:48.:02:53.

will give women the opportunity to have healthy children. So how will

:02:53.:02:56.

the treatment helps some couples at risk of passing on genetic

:02:56.:03:01.

diseases? It begins with a fertilised egg. At the centre, the

:03:01.:03:05.

nuclei containing all the crucial genes from our parents. They are

:03:05.:03:12.

removed, leaving behind the faulty mitochondria. These are the energy

:03:12.:03:18.

factories of cells. The nuclei are transferred to another woman's egg.

:03:18.:03:24.

The resulting embryo will have 22,000 genes from the parents, and

:03:24.:03:28.

just 37 genes from the second woman's healthy mitochondria.

:03:28.:03:32.

Scientists say it is a bit like changing the battery on a laptop.

:03:32.:03:37.

That's genetic change will benefit all future generations. This is not

:03:37.:03:41.

about tampering with who we are, the genes from our mother and father

:03:41.:03:47.

that make us what we look like, how we behave, are any nucleus. The only

:03:47.:03:49.

genes in the mitochondria, which incidentally has no paternal linkage

:03:49.:03:58.

at all, are the genes to provide energy for that cell to function.

:03:58.:04:01.

This was Edward three years ago before his death from a rare

:04:01.:04:06.

mitochondrial disease. His mother Sharon had six other affected

:04:06.:04:13.

children, all of whom died within a few days of birth. You live with

:04:13.:04:17.

that pain every day, you don't want to ever get over it, and this would

:04:17.:04:24.

have made a huge difference to me. From the discovery of the structure

:04:24.:04:30.

of DNA in 1953, to the birth of the world's first test-tube baby, Louise

:04:30.:04:34.

Brown, in 1978, Time and again Britain has led the world in

:04:34.:04:38.

advances in genetics and human biology. But critics say this is a

:04:38.:04:45.

step too far towards designer babies. A child is something to be

:04:46.:04:51.

loved unconditionally, not dependent on its characteristics. Once we

:04:51.:04:56.

start manipulating our children's characteristics, you do just turn

:04:56.:04:59.

them into another consumer commodity. These diseases are rare,

:04:59.:05:03.

just five to ten couples per year could benefit. It will need a free

:05:03.:05:07.

vote in the House of Commons to approve this key step for medicine

:05:07.:05:11.

and society. Fergus Walsh is with me in the

:05:11.:05:15.

studio, a fascinating story, what other long-term implications of all

:05:15.:05:19.

of this? This is an amazing and vans for these families, giving a

:05:19.:05:24.

permanent fix for a genetic fault that is causing premature death and

:05:24.:05:27.

illness to their families for generations. It would mean not just

:05:28.:05:34.

their children, but their children's children would be free of that. One

:05:34.:05:37.

in 6500 babies has a mitochondrial disorder, so it is not huge numbers,

:05:37.:05:43.

and it cannot be used for other inherited conditions. But,

:05:43.:05:48.

Michelle, it is also about how it is being done that is significant,

:05:48.:05:54.

mixing the DNA of three people. The donor DNA is just a tiny scrap, but

:05:54.:05:58.

it will be passed down the generations for centuries to come,

:05:58.:06:02.

and public consultation showed broad support for this, and there is final

:06:02.:06:05.

scientific safety studies to be done, but I am certain that this

:06:05.:06:10.

will happen, and it will happen in the UK.

:06:10.:06:14.

Thank you, Fergus Walsh. Moors murderer Ian Brady has lost

:06:14.:06:18.

his legal bid to be transferred from a maximum security psychiatric

:06:18.:06:23.

hospital to a prison. Brady, who kidnapped, tortured and killed five

:06:23.:06:26.

children in 1960s, had argued that despite his severe personality

:06:26.:06:31.

disorder, he was not mentally ill. Judith Moritz reports.

:06:31.:06:36.

Ian Brady has spent nearly half a century behind bars, out of view of

:06:36.:06:40.

the world. This month he spoke publicly for the first time since

:06:40.:06:46.

his trial in 1966. Today a tribunal judge ruled that Brady must day at

:06:46.:06:52.

Ashworth Hospital, something his doctors wanted. He has a severe

:06:52.:06:55.

personality disorder, a chronic mental illness, and the special

:06:55.:06:59.

treatment and a special assessment of risk that our staff can provide

:06:59.:07:04.

is something that you would not be finding anywhere else. The 1960s

:07:04.:07:08.

Moors murderer 's are amongst the most notoriously British criminal

:07:08.:07:13.

history. Brady and his girlfriend, Myra Hindley, abducted, tortured and

:07:13.:07:19.

then murdered five children. This week, Brady described his crimes as

:07:19.:07:23.

petty, recreational killings, done for the existential experience. It

:07:23.:07:27.

was hard to stomach for the families of his victims, who are relieved he

:07:27.:07:34.

will stay in hospital. In his own mind, he thought I can pull one over

:07:34.:07:39.

them and get away with what he wants to get away with, but it has

:07:39.:07:45.

backfired on him. I am so pleased, so pleased. Brady claims that at

:07:45.:07:49.

Ashworth Hospital he is on hunger strike and that hippies moved to a

:07:49.:07:54.

prison, he can starve to death. He is only the second psychiatric

:07:54.:07:57.

patient to be given permission for a public mental health tribunal. The

:07:57.:08:03.

costs, as is standard, are being met by the taxpayer. All mental health

:08:03.:08:07.

patients are entitled to request a private annual mental health

:08:07.:08:11.

review. If they request is not made, a mandatory tribunal is held

:08:11.:08:15.

every three years. Radio has had an undisclosed number of such hearings,

:08:15.:08:24.

the previous one in 2010. -- Brady. Patients yesterday on average six or

:08:24.:08:29.

seven years, but Brady's 's 27 year detention is unusual. His

:08:29.:08:32.

psychiatric team believe that his mental health condition is still so

:08:32.:08:36.

complex that he requires hospital treatment. Brady 's lawyers have not

:08:36.:08:40.

said whether he will appeal the tribunal decision. For the source

:08:40.:08:45.

evil future, he will remain at Ashworth, where the Moors murderer

:08:45.:08:48.

is considered a patient, not a prisoner.

:08:48.:08:53.

-- for the foreseeable future. European leaders have agreed a deal

:08:53.:08:56.

on the EU budget today with David Cameron hitting out at what he

:08:56.:09:00.

thought was a last-minute attempt to cut the British rebate. The final

:09:00.:09:03.

agreement includes spending 6 billion euros over the next two

:09:03.:09:08.

years on tackling youth unemployment. Across the EU, around

:09:08.:09:12.

6 million young people, nearly a quarter of all under 25s, are

:09:12.:09:19.

currently out of work. From Brussels, Gavin Hewitt reports.

:09:19.:09:23.

This was a European summit that celebrated agreement. After all,

:09:23.:09:28.

after months of division, they agreed the EU budget for the next

:09:28.:09:33.

seven years. The David Cameron felt he had been ambushed. For the budget

:09:33.:09:38.

negotiations due him into a new row about the British rebate. French

:09:38.:09:41.

officials argued that rural grants for Newman Estates change the basis

:09:41.:09:45.

on which the rebate should be calculated. -- for new European

:09:45.:09:51.

states. The Prime Minister poured out his frustration with the way

:09:51.:09:55.

Brussels works. In this town, you have to be ready for an ambush at

:09:55.:10:01.

any minute, Lock and Load, have one up the spout and be ready for it.

:10:01.:10:05.

After an unscheduled meeting, the Prime Minister had been reassured

:10:05.:10:09.

the rebate would not be changed. But the priority of the summit was youth

:10:09.:10:13.

unemployment. Across Europe, there are shown shocking numbers. In

:10:13.:10:21.

Greece, 63% of under 25s are without work, in Spain it is 56%. In the UK,

:10:21.:10:24.

nearly 21% of young people are unemployed. In Germany, the figure

:10:25.:10:32.

is just 8%. Take Spain. It can appear at ease with itself, but it

:10:32.:10:37.

harbours a lost generation. Like these four friends in this beach

:10:37.:10:46.

resort town. This man has been out of work for more than a year.

:10:46.:10:50.

TRANSLATION: I have been looking for a work for a while, and I have not

:10:50.:10:54.

found anything. There is little workout there.

:10:54.:11:00.

At this time of year, there are part-time jobs. This work is

:11:00.:11:08.

temporary. TRANSLATION: I have not worked for a year. I have been

:11:08.:11:11.

working here for three weeks, and finding work has been difficult.

:11:11.:11:15.

There are loads of young people looking for work and giving up their

:11:15.:11:20.

CV is to everyone. At the summit in Brussels, 6 billion euros were set

:11:20.:11:23.

aside to help young people out of work by training and

:11:23.:11:29.

apprenticeships. Regions with more than 25% unemployed, including six

:11:29.:11:33.

in Britain, will be able to apply for funding. The money will come

:11:33.:11:39.

from the existing EU budget. TRANSLATION: I personally told them

:11:39.:11:42.

that this scheme is highly ambitious. In Spain, there are 1

:11:42.:11:46.

million unemployed young people. We are not going to be able to quickly

:11:46.:11:51.

make them a job offer, we shouldn't raise false hopes. No-one here

:11:51.:11:56.

believes the funds will prove a game changer. Indeed, the president of

:11:56.:11:58.

the European Parliament described them as a drop in the ocean. Some

:11:58.:12:04.

here have calculated that you would need 21 billion euros, rather than 6

:12:04.:12:08.

billion, to make a difference. European leaders know, however, they

:12:08.:12:12.

will be judged on whether they can help the 26 million people out of

:12:13.:12:18.

work. Barack Obama has arrived in

:12:18.:12:22.

Johannesburg tonight on the latest leg of his tour of Africa. It is

:12:22.:12:26.

unclear whether the US president will visit Nelson Mandela during his

:12:26.:12:29.

stay in South Africa. Mr Mandela remains critically ill in hospital

:12:29.:12:34.

in Pretoria. Earlier, welly Mandela a van update on her former

:12:34.:12:43.

husband's condition. I am not a doctor, but from what he was a few

:12:43.:12:48.

days ago, there is great improvement, but clinically he is

:12:48.:12:53.

still unwell. The public will be able to assess

:12:53.:12:56.

the performance of surgeons in England from today has information

:12:56.:12:59.

about the success of their operations is published online. By

:12:59.:13:03.

the end of the year, data will be available across ten specialisms

:13:04.:13:06.

with the Government saying that transparency will drive up

:13:06.:13:09.

standards. As Sophie Hutchinson reports, some surgeons have refused

:13:09.:13:19.
:13:19.:13:20.

to take part. It is being described as a watershed moment, the

:13:20.:13:22.

performance of NHS surgeons and their operations published online

:13:22.:13:27.

for the public to see. This graph can be viewed on the NHS Choices

:13:27.:13:31.

website and shows whether individual doctors are working safely within

:13:31.:13:35.

required standards. The data has been adjusted to take into account

:13:35.:13:40.

different risk factors. We have seen public trust challenged in some of

:13:40.:13:43.

the most cherished British institutions, of which the NHS is

:13:43.:13:50.

just one. And there is a tendency under circumstances like that to

:13:50.:13:57.

just resort to secrecy, to climb up. He real solution is in transparency.

:13:57.:14:01.

Controversially, the website also shows raw data with surgeons names

:14:01.:14:06.

and the percentage of patients who died in their care. The publication

:14:06.:14:09.

of individual doctors results from the work they do in operating

:14:09.:14:13.

theatres has been done in the name of transparency, to give patients as

:14:13.:14:20.

much information as possible about the doctors who treat them. But

:14:20.:14:23.

there are concerns. Critics insist it is difficult to give individual

:14:23.:14:31.

ratings because surgeons work in teams. They warn there is no simple

:14:31.:14:33.

way to measure performance because high risk patients may have less

:14:33.:14:37.

successful outcomes. Some fear the rating system could discourage

:14:37.:14:41.

pioneering operations, with surgeons playing safe if they fear that

:14:41.:14:44.

failure will damage their reputations. Six doctors have

:14:44.:14:49.

refused to have their data published and were named on the order of the

:14:49.:14:52.

Health Secretary. All are working to the required standard. One explained

:14:52.:14:59.

why he was against it. The trouble with data is that you have to have

:14:59.:15:01.

experts to entrap the data and unless you understand that, there is

:15:01.:15:07.

a real risk of the public being misled. We actually cannot pick up

:15:07.:15:11.

bad surgeons with this system. Retired headteacher Rawley Fawley

:15:11.:15:15.

recently had one of the operations that consultants are being rated on

:15:15.:15:21.

but said he would not have looked at the website. I put my trust in the

:15:21.:15:26.

surgeons, their professionalism and their skill to get me through it. At

:15:26.:15:29.

the end of the day, I feel that is what they have done, and I shall be

:15:30.:15:36.

forever grateful. There is no doubt some of the data published exposes

:15:36.:15:39.

key differences in surgical performances, but reading it

:15:39.:15:46.

accurately is likely to be a challenge for many patients. There

:15:46.:15:50.

have been violent clashes in Egypt as demonstrations took place both in

:15:50.:15:56.

support of, and against President Mohamed Morsi. This evening there

:15:56.:16:00.

are unconfirmed reports that an American photojournalist has an

:16:00.:16:04.

killed in Alexandria. It is now nearly a year since President Morsi

:16:04.:16:08.

came to power, promising radical change. One year on, Egypt is still

:16:08.:16:14.

facing dire economic problems with an estimated 25% of the population

:16:14.:16:18.

living in poverty. There has also been a collapse in tourism and there

:16:18.:16:27.

are shortages of food and fuel. Demonstrations are once again

:16:27.:16:34.

filling the streets of Egypt. Huge rallies are planned for the coming

:16:34.:16:43.

days, calling for President Morsi to step down over broken promises. But

:16:43.:16:48.

this is a show of strength by the President's Muslim Brotherhood.

:16:48.:16:51.

are here to support the elected President Mohamed Morsi, and to

:16:51.:16:59.

prevent any trial to get out the regime. TRANSLATION: We have been

:16:59.:17:03.

dreaming of an elected president. We got him and look what they are

:17:03.:17:07.

doing. They have shown him no mercy, but we are here to defend

:17:07.:17:13.

him. This demonstration of pro-Mohamed Morsi supporters has

:17:13.:17:19.

been very relaxed so far in the centre of Cairo, but there have been

:17:19.:17:23.

running battles between pro-and anti-Mohamed Morsi supporters,

:17:23.:17:27.

deaths and injuries. And the rhetoric between the two groups has

:17:27.:17:32.

become ever more dangerous. Politics these days is tearing apart Egyptian

:17:32.:17:37.

families. This man is an opposition activist, jailed for insulting

:17:37.:17:46.

President Morsi. His father is as loyal a supporter as you can get for

:17:46.:17:53.

the president. He says his son went too far. TRANSLATION: The

:17:54.:17:59.

disagreement between us about his ideological views was partly because

:17:59.:18:03.

he's so outspoken. His words go the limit of our traditions and what is

:18:03.:18:12.

acceptable. Ahmed's fellow opposition activists are gathering

:18:12.:18:18.

to planned protests to mark Mohamed Morsi's first year in charge. Among

:18:18.:18:22.

them is Ahmed's wife. With her husband in jail, she has taken up

:18:22.:18:28.

his cause against the Muslim Brotherhood. TRANSLATION: They are

:18:28.:18:32.

trying to polarise people, and Egyptians know it. But within the

:18:32.:18:36.

family, we still have to avoid talking politics and watching the

:18:36.:18:46.
:18:46.:18:47.

news together to stop any controversial discussions. And the

:18:47.:18:52.

split in Ahmed's family are reflected across the society that is

:18:52.:18:56.

turning to violence. This was Egypt's second city, Alexandria,

:18:56.:19:03.

today. The Muslim Brotherhood's offices were attacked, at least two

:19:03.:19:06.

people died, including an American who had been looking on. It is no

:19:06.:19:13.

wonder Egyptians are fearful of what the coming days will bring.

:19:13.:19:17.

Ministers have announced proposals that could bring big changes to

:19:17.:19:21.

social care services across England. They include establishing

:19:21.:19:25.

national criteria determining who is eligible to receive state support

:19:25.:19:29.

for substantial needs such as washing and dressing. James Landale

:19:29.:19:33.

joins us from Westminster. The government says it is about getting

:19:33.:19:38.

rid of the postcode lottery but how big a change are they suggesting?

:19:38.:19:42.

England Council set their own rules to determine who gets social care

:19:42.:19:47.

and who does not. Begun and says that is wrong and there should be

:19:47.:19:51.

national minimum standards set out in law. They would say that all

:19:51.:19:55.

councils have to provide free social care to adults with substantial

:19:55.:19:59.

needs. That means people who can't eat, wash or dress independently and

:19:59.:20:02.

for whom there would be a significant risk to their well-being

:20:02.:20:07.

if they did not have care. Most councils do this already. This would

:20:07.:20:12.

simplify the system and make it more consistent. But everything hangs on

:20:12.:20:16.

how you precisely define substantial needs. Some councils are saying the

:20:16.:20:20.

government has set the bar far too high to stop potentially 100,000

:20:20.:20:25.

people, who have moderate needs, might have some of their care cut.

:20:25.:20:29.

The government says it is nonsense. Equally some councils say the bar is

:20:29.:20:34.

too low and they might have to pay more for care. Either way it is the

:20:34.:20:37.

start of a process and there will be a long consultation. The result

:20:37.:20:43.

could have a huge impact on a lot of people.

:20:43.:20:46.

After a decade at the helm, Sir Mervyn King stepped down as governor

:20:46.:20:51.

of the Bank of England. He has handed the batten onto Mark Carney,

:20:51.:20:58.

who was until recently governor of the bank of Canada. He will be the

:20:58.:21:04.

first foreigner to lead the bank of England in its 300 year history. We

:21:04.:21:08.

have been to Toronto to consider why some consider him to be the

:21:08.:21:14.

financial rock star of his age. It is not hard to sell Canada as a

:21:14.:21:17.

holiday destination. In the past few years, its economy has been a lot

:21:17.:21:21.

right than ours as well. No wonder George Osborne would want to bring a

:21:21.:21:26.

piece of that Canadian magic to the UK, is dealing its central bank

:21:26.:21:30.

chief, Mark Carney. In five years Canada's economy has grown by nearly

the stealing him. He told me in this office that he had decided to go.

:22:17.:22:20.

Mark Carney can't take all the credit for what has happened in

:22:20.:22:24.

Canada but he seems to have won over the press. If you read the articles

:22:24.:22:27.

that were written on his last day, calling him the best central bank

:22:27.:22:32.

governor Canada ever had, a financial rock star, even the Wayne

:22:32.:22:38.

Gretzky of central banking. In case you were wondering, Wayne Gretzky

:22:38.:22:42.

was a famous Canadian ice hockey player in the 1990s, when the

:22:42.:22:45.

country was going through what we are going through now. Years of

:22:45.:22:50.

austerity and slow growth, while the government got a handle on its debt.

:22:50.:22:54.

It was painful at the time but paid off in 2008 because the government

:22:54.:23:00.

could afford to go all out supporting the economy. Canada was

:23:00.:23:04.

also helped by having old-fashioned banks. In the boom years, they were

:23:04.:23:09.

teased in Wall Street for being too cautious. Not any more. We never had

:23:09.:23:12.

the same crisis of confidence that you had in the United Kingdom and

:23:12.:23:16.

part of it was because the banks had the ability to lend money and wanted

:23:16.:23:19.

to lend money because economic growth was not as severe and the

:23:19.:23:25.

banks were not in very strong financial shape. None of that was

:23:25.:23:29.

Mark Carney's doing but cutting interest rates was and he gets

:23:29.:23:34.

credit for doing it early and often. The bank of Canada under Mark Carney

:23:34.:23:37.

got interest rates down to very low levels early in the crisis, and kept

them there. The big difference is that here in Canada, that policy has

:23:43.:23:45.

worked and has got credit flowing through the economy and supported

:23:45.:23:53.

the recovery. But even that success has brought its own problems. A lot

:23:53.:23:57.

of that money flowed into rising house prices. It helped give the

:23:57.:24:01.

economy more of a feel-good factor but even estate agents are worried

:24:01.:24:06.

that prices have risen too far, too fast. They took advantage of it,

they were thinking positive and some of them are feeling the pinch, there

is a little increase in interest rate, the change in the economy. I

hope I am wrong and they don't have to pay the price. Maybe Mark Carney

:24:21.:24:24.

is lucky as well as clever, leaving Canada when things were starting to

:24:24.:24:29.

slow down, but good luck is another thing that George Osborne is surely

:24:29.:24:35.

keen to bring to the UK. Hopes of British excess at Wimbledon

were kept alive today after Andy Murray and Laura Robson made it

British fans had plenty to cheer thanks to 19-year-old Laura Robson.

She slotted aside Mariana Duque-Marino with astonishing poise
