:02:27. > :02:33.going berserk down in the square below me, there is a huge party
:02:33. > :02:36.going on. They believe that the Egyptian army is intervening
:02:36. > :02:42.decisively for them in their struggle against the Muslim
:02:42. > :02:48.Brotherhood. The Army statement, as you have said, says that it is not a
:02:48. > :02:52.coup, but there is a big or else attached to what they have said. If
:02:52. > :03:01.the parties do not get together and talk, the Army will intervene in
:03:01. > :03:05.some form. Protesters packed Tahrir Square to celebrate as soon as they
:03:05. > :03:13.heard the military's announcement. They had a one word message for
:03:13. > :03:20.President Morsi, leave, and they chanted it for hours. In this place,
:03:20. > :03:24.they used the same chance against President Mubarak. The euphoria was
:03:24. > :03:31.not quite as overwhelming as it was on the night he was forced out in
:03:31. > :03:38.2011 - but it was close. Military helicopters flew past, repeating
:03:38. > :03:43.lapse of honour which sent the crowd into raptures. Today, they love the
:03:43. > :03:47.Armed Forces, as they did when soldiers protected them from
:03:47. > :03:51.Mubarak's enforcers. One year ago, before the election, some of them
:03:51. > :03:54.were cursing the soldiers for hanging on to power. Here in Tahrir
:03:54. > :04:03.Square, the assumption is that the Army will intervene to give them the
:04:03. > :04:10.tree over the president. It may not be that simple. The statement from
:04:10. > :04:14.the general was very carefully worded. In the announcement, read
:04:14. > :04:17.out on TV, the Ministry of Defence and commander-in-chief, General
:04:17. > :04:22.Abdel Fattah al-Sisi?, gave the president and his opponents 48 hours
:04:22. > :04:27.to sit down and find a way forward, or the Armed Forces would intervene
:04:27. > :04:32.with what he called their own road map. One of the losing secular

:04:37. > :04:47.what they took as moved to weaken the Muslim Brotherhood. He said the
:04:47. > :04:49.
:04:49. > :04:53.army wanted to save the country, not take it over. The mobilisation, the
:04:53. > :04:56.anger, this time it makes the situation different, so you cannot
:04:56. > :05:06.say that we are playing politics, we are really hoping to save Egypt from

:05:09. > :05:12.real colour is. -- collapse. In the early hours of the morning, the
:05:12. > :05:17.headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood was attacked. People
:05:17. > :05:22.were killed and injured on both sides. The building was the symbol
:05:22. > :05:29.of the Brotherhood's rise to power in the new Egypt. It is still a
:05:29. > :05:34.symbol - of the challenge to the brotherhood's belief that they are
:05:34. > :05:37.the rightful inheritors of the country. They do not care about
:05:37. > :05:45.anything except themselves, and we all feel optimistic about this
:05:45. > :05:49.moment. President Morsi's supporters from the Muslim Brotherhood are
:05:49. > :05:54.occupying their own piece of Cairo. You can feel the sense of being
:05:54. > :05:58.under siege here, a desire to defend their vision of a state inspired by
:05:58. > :06:04.Islamic law, which the Brotherhood has pursued since it was founded in

:06:14. > :06:19.Egypt are facing a critical few days. Arabs across the region are
:06:19. > :06:24.watching. It is not just about this country's future. What happens here,
:06:24. > :06:32.to the Army, Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian people, will shape the
:06:32. > :06:36.new Middle East. And Jeremy, the Army has said tonight that they are
:06:36. > :06:40.not plotting a coup, so what are they trying to achieve? Well, their
:06:40. > :06:44.statements, which was released on their Facebook page, says that
:06:44. > :06:47.effectively, they are trying to bring some order to the chaos of
:06:47. > :06:55.Egyptian politics, and it has been absolutely chaotic. There are real
:06:55. > :07:01.fears here that the state could, in some way, collapse. The other
:07:01. > :07:06.thing, though, is that the Army here to say that they will intervene if
:07:06. > :07:09.an agreement is not made, and you can hear from the people below me
:07:09. > :07:12.that they certainly believe that is what is going to happen, that the
:07:12. > :07:17.Army will intervene in their favour. But all of this matters in the
:07:17. > :07:21.region, because if there is any sense in which the power of the
:07:21. > :07:26.Muslim Brotherhood is fractured, weakened, diminished, even broken,
:07:26. > :07:33.then that will change the whole dynamic in the region, which has
:07:33. > :07:36.been going on since the Arab uprisings in 2011 began. The Muslim
:07:36. > :07:42.Brotherhood has appeared to be in the ascendancy, but at the moment,
:07:42. > :07:45.it faces a very real challenge. President Obama has paid tribute to
:07:45. > :07:48.19 American firefighters who were killed trying to tackle a huge blaze
:07:48. > :07:51.in Arizona. He called the men, who were members of an elite unit,

:09:05. > :09:11.wildfires, average age, 22. This training video explained what they
:09:11. > :09:16.were trained to do - and they were equipped with special fireproof
:09:16. > :09:23.covers and emergency blankets, as a last resort, but this was not enough
:09:23. > :09:27.to save them. I waved at one of them and said, what is up, guys? He said,

:09:37. > :09:37.
:09:37. > :09:43.to save your neighbourhood. And they are gone. The fire comes amid a

:09:49. > :09:53.-- a record-breaking heatwave. Even from this roadblock, the flames are
:09:53. > :09:56.visible, and they may still spread. Even in the time we have been here,
:09:57. > :10:02.the fire has got bigger. It is incredibly hot, bone dry, the wind
:10:02. > :10:09.is picking up, and there is a risk of thunderstorms causing more of the
:10:09. > :10:14.lightning which caused the fire in the first place. This community is
:10:14. > :10:20.still in danger. Local people are appalled by what has happened.
:10:20. > :10:25.am still here. I had a friend that passed away yesterday in that group.
:10:25. > :10:30.I know him. Very sad. We watched firefighting aircraft being
:10:30. > :10:37.deployed. With the wind so unpredictable, this is safer than

:10:44. > :10:49.by the Government's spending watchdog over pay-offs for senior
:10:50. > :10:54.managers. The National Audit Office says the payments were poor value
:10:54. > :10:59.for money. Between 2009 and 2012, a total of 150 senior managers
:10:59. > :11:02.received a total of �25 million in redundancy payments. The BBC's new
:11:02. > :11:05.director-general, Tony Hall, has conceded that the level of the
:11:05. > :11:15.payments was wrong, and he is capping them at �150,000, or 12
:11:15. > :11:37.
:11:37. > :11:40.months' salary, whichever is lowest. Creativity to, distinctiveness,
:11:40. > :11:42.making the licence fee work harder, that has been the message from the
:11:42. > :11:44.BBC. But behind the cuts and redundancies, some senior managers
:11:44. > :11:46.have left in style. Former director general Mark Byford walked away with
:11:46. > :11:50.�949,000. Chief operating officer Caroline Thompson... And George
:11:50. > :11:56.Entwistle... And these were just the ones that made the headlines. The
:11:56. > :12:00.National audit is has also uncovered other large pay-outs to managers who
:12:00. > :12:06.remain unnamed. -- the National Audit Office. Two of them walked out
:12:06. > :12:12.of these doors, straight into new jobs, leaving with combined payments
:12:12. > :12:19.of �975,000. Another manager, �866,000, if you add in the pension
:12:19. > :12:24.top-up. 14 of the cases examined were paid more than they were
:12:24. > :12:33.contractual bleak obliged. The BBC admitted that on this topic, it had
:12:33. > :12:36.lost its way. Why would anyone pay more than they had to? These were
:12:37. > :12:40.complexly negotiations about making sure that people would leave the
:12:40. > :12:45.BBC, without going to court, or on terms which were good for the BBC.
:12:45. > :12:50.Overall, it was about reducing the amount of money which was paid out
:12:50. > :12:55.to people. It was what any company would do. One form of juicer has
:12:55. > :12:59.paid back his money. He was told that the decision to award it was
:12:59. > :13:06.seriously deficient. Indeed, the National Audit Office struggled to
:13:06. > :13:12.find out who had authorised it. On other occasions, no explanation was
:13:12. > :13:18.given. Senior management had become out of touch with ordinary staff,
:13:18. > :13:24.and it bears no resemblance to those on the ground. In its defence, the
:13:24. > :13:31.BBC says the lay-offs are saving the Corporation �120,000 a year.
:13:31. > :13:35.However, there is concern which comes just as the programme to cut

:19:58. > :20:04.Midlands, causing �6 million worth of damage. At its height, 200
:20:04. > :20:10.firefighters were tackling the blaze. A towering Inferno, the night
:20:10. > :20:16.sky ablaze with orange light, thick with black, acrid smoke. The numbers
:20:16. > :20:21.say it all. 100,000 tonnes of plastic recycling up in flames.
:20:21. > :20:27.90,000 square feet of fire. 45 fire engines and more than 200
:20:27. > :20:34.firefighters on the scene. And with the dawn, a 6000 feet column of
:20:34. > :20:37.smoke, visible for miles across the entire West Midlands. The biggest
:20:37. > :20:45.blaze that this region has ever seen. I came outside and it was all
:20:45. > :20:49.black. It was shocking. This quickly became an exercise in containing the
:20:49. > :20:53.damage. A desperate effort to keep the fire inside the recycling yard
:20:53. > :20:57.and save the surrounding businesses. On the other side of the wall, the
:20:57. > :21:04.heat and fire was so intense that the blaze could be contained but not
:21:04. > :21:07.put out. We are standing here, and you get a real sense of the scale of
:21:07. > :21:12.the blaze. And why it is taking hundreds of firefighters to bring it
:21:12. > :21:18.under control. All of this, it seems, was started by a single
:21:18. > :21:21.Chinese lantern. It has prompted fresh calls for a change in the
:21:21. > :21:25.rules. There are an increasing number of fires of Chinese lanterns.
:21:25. > :21:29.We don't want to be party bloopers. We like fireworks and celebrating
:21:29. > :21:33.but this is cause and effect. This caused a multi-million pound fire
:21:33. > :21:40.and by firefighters will be here for three days. For the sake of a
:21:40. > :21:44.Chinese lantern, was it really worth it? A dozen firefighters were

:23:00. > :23:02.That is clear. But on the other hand, people are beginning to
:23:02. > :23:05.realise that the UK economy is beginning to show signs of
:23:05. > :23:09.recovering. They will be debating the state of the economy at the

:23:37. > :23:41.think that interest rates will rise sooner than the market would

:23:57. > :24:01.Carney promised not to rise in interest rates for a year. It
:24:01. > :24:05.worked. People borrowed and spent more, reassured that mortgage rates
:24:05. > :24:09.would not go up. It was so successful that he ended up having
:24:09. > :24:14.to break his promise and raise interest rates after all. He did not

:25:35. > :25:38.another grand slam title, his feet are firmly on the ground. I don't
