in Egypt, after dozens of protesters are shot dead. The Muslim

Brotherhood say their supporters had gathered to demand the reinstatement

of Mohamed Morsi as president. More than 400 were injured - the

Brotherhood has called for a national uprising against the army.

Our cause is just, it is a military coup, and we will bring it down.

less likely by the day. Also tonight... Andy Murray is welcomed

at Number Ten, with hopes that British tennis is set to be

revitalised. I hope it helps in some way, I hope it is not another 70

years until there is another British winner of a Grand Slam. A new

abuse at children's homes in north Wales is finally published, 17 years

England's cricketers want to tap into the feel-good factor created by

Andy Murray and the Lyons, as they leader, Adly Mansour, has appealed

for calm after more than 50 protesters were shot dead in Cairo.

The Muslim Brotherhood says its members had gathered to demand the

reinstatement of Mohammad Morsi as president. They described the

shootings as a massacre and called for an uprising against the army.

Our correspondent Quentin Somerville is in Cairo tonight. Well, there are

tens of thousands of pro-President Morsi supporters behind me, but not

from from where they are, there are many thousands of soldiers still on

the streets of Cairo. Earlier today, these two sides clashed, giving the

bloodiest day Egypt has seen since President Morsi was ousted from

power. Under fire from tear gas and live bullets, these President Morsi

supporters are running for cover. It is just after dawn, and it is the

Egyptian army which is shooting at them. They say they were unarmed and

in the middle of morning prayers when the attack began. But the Army

supplied this video, with a different version of events, full

and others in the crowd provoking them. What is not in dispute is that

scores were killed, nearly all of them protesters. Hundreds were

rushed to makeshift hospitals and nearby mosques. This was the

aftermath, later this morning. They showed us bullet holes and shell

casings. This man said, I got hit in the back while I was praying. It's

just started when we were surrounded by the army. They came and hit us

from behind. But the trouble here was far from over. The army moved to

surround the neighbourhood. There is gunfire in the street. We have just

heard three rounds being fired, a man being beaten up down there. We

do not know whether firing is coming from or who is actually shooting. It

appeared to be warning shots. Later, tear gas was used to keep the

protesters back. They stood their ground. So far has ordered the army.

As the stand-off continued, the military held a news conference

about the dawn attack. TRANSLATION: It stopped being a peaceful

demonstration at four o'clock in the morning. A group attacked the

Republican Guard building as well as police personnel responsible for

guarding the area, using live fire and bullets. Muslim Brotherhood held

their own press conference, and said the shootings were nothing short of

a massacre. TRANSLATION: I want to explain why today marks a black day

in the history of the military. No matter how much they tried to erase

it, it will remain a disgrace of those who pointed their weapons in

the face of Egyptians, those who killed Egyptians with machine guns.

These protesters still want their president back. Today was the

bloodiest days since President Morsi was ousted. The confrontation here

shows no sign of waning, and the violence only gets worse. These

protesters will be back on the streets tomorrow. They have declared

a national day of mourning, and the anti-Morsi protesters will not be

far behind them. There has been very little public medical progress being

made, so the cycle of violence continues. -- very little political

progress. As the crisis deepens, the Obama administration has signalled

that it is not about to cut off aid to Egypt. The White House says it is

still reviewing whether the actions of the Egyptian military amount to a

coup, which under US law would automatically block the sending of

aid. Our diplomatic correspondent Bridget Kendall considers the

increasingly complex challenge facing Egypt's caretaker leadership.

The bloodiest day so far and a dangerous turn in Egypt's escalating

crisis. With more than 50 people dead, the US government tonight said

it was deeply concerned, but stopped short of threatening to cut off

crucial aid to Egypt. We call on the military to use maximum restraint,

in responding to protesters, just as we urge all those demonstrating to

do so peacefully. We also condemn the explicit calls to violence made

by the Muslim Brotherhood. theory, it is Egypt's military

leaders who now have the upper hand, but in the court of public opinion,

the Army is on the back foot, releasing this video footage to

reinforce claims that its troops came under attack first. Today's

events have left its political road map in tatters. Egypt's crisis has

created an uncertain future. Firstly, it is no longer clear who

is running the country. There is a caretaker president, appointed by

the military, but there is no sign of a unity government or Prime

Minister. Now, a key Islamist party has pulled out of negotiations in

protest at the violence. Then there is the danger of more clashes, with

the Army warning it could use force again and the Muslim Brotherhood

calling for people to rise up to keep opposition protests going.

will increase the number of protests and increase the number of cities.

This is our country, we will not let them take it again from us. With

calls for more people to take to the streets tomorrow, the Egyptian

military has declared a plan to restore calm, and to pave the way

for elections, but it looks more remote than ever. It is worrying the

outside world, as well as Egyptians. If Egypt were to

collapse, and they have got financial reserves to last only

about three months, it would be devastating for the region, not just

for the people of Egypt, but for our own interests as well. So far, it is

an uneasy stand-off, and Egypt has already shown how powerful a mass

uprising from below can be. It is not know how far this time the Army

is prepared to go to try to enforce order. Andy Murray deserves a

knighthood, according to the Prime Minister, after he became the first

Briton to win the Wimbledon men's singles title since 1936.

David Cameron said the win had "lifted the the spirits of the whole

country". The new champion has visited Downing Street to be

congratulated in person by political leaders. A peak of 17.3 million

viewers watched yesterday's final, as our sports editor David Bond

It is an image we will never tired of seeing. The golden moment, when

Andy Murray ended Britain's agonising wait for a Wimbledon

champion. Nearly 24 hours after rewriting history, he was off to

Downing Street for an audience with the Prime Minister. Talk of a

knighthood was already in the air. This outsider from Dunblane is well

on his way to becoming a part of the sporting establishment. So, what

does winning the Wimbledon title mean? Back at the scene of his

triumph today, he said he was still struggling to come to terms with

it. It is such a big event for British sport, something I had heard

about for a long time. It had been more than 70 years since any Brit

had won Wimbledon. That part and everything which goes with it, it

will take a while to sink in. you get much sleep last night?

slept for about an hour, maximum, but I felt OK this morning, I was

just happy to be sitting down. Murray's future even before all

this, Murray was a multimillionaire. Now, his earnings could be set to

soar, especially if he can go on to win more titles and become the world

number one. But how far does he think he can go? I want to try and

keep doing better, I want to try and win another Grand Slam. But I am not

going to start putting numbers on it, because it took me so long to

win my first one, I know how hard these tournaments are to win and how

hard you need to work to win them. Inevitably, it has prompted a debate

about legacy. What he achieved yesterday will live long in the

memory. But the challenge for British tennis is to use this moment

in history to create something lasting for the future. The awkward

truth for British tennis is that Murray's rise to the top disguises

an alarming lack of depth at grassroots level. The authorities

are facing criticism for failing to drive up participation. Tennis in

this country has got quite a bad reputation, so yes, I hope it helps

with that, I hope the reputation improves, and we can get more kids

playing, and we can see some more Grand Slam champions in the future.

That is the challenge how to use Andy Murray's breakthrough moment to

The Labour leader, Ed Miliband, is set to propose a radical change in

the party's relationship with the trade unions. In what is being

billed as a major statement, Mr Miliband will respond tomorrow to

the recent controversy surrounding the unions' role in selecting

parliamentary candidates. Our political editor, Nick Robinson, is

here. What are you expecting him to say? Well, not just build by some,

but by Ed Miliband himself. He will say that this is the biggest reform

in the Labour Party for a generation. It could, and I say

good, mean a dramatic change to the relationship with the unions. It

could mean less money from the trade unions going to Labour, it could

mean less powerful union general secretary is over policy or over the

leadership. What is being suggested is an end to the system whereby if

you join a union which supports Labour, you can be automatically

affiliated, automatically give your money to Labour, without you

individually choosing to do that. It is a dramatic change, one which

Labour has always resisted. We do not know how, we do not know when he

is proposing to do this. We do know that he says it will not need a

change in the rules. We know that he has always resisted a change in the

law to do this. So, the big question is, if one of the big unions says,

we do not want to play, what then? Has he been forced to do this?

when he was last asked about changing from the so-called opting

out process towards opting in, he said, in a studio not far from here,

that he was opposed to doing it. One week ago, he was knocked around the

house of commons by David Cameron on the issue of the trade unions, after

the scandal of what had happened in Falkirk. The next day, he accepted

the resignation of his election coordinator. The following day there

was the police coming into Falkirk. Now he is giving this speech. But it

raises one intriguing possibility - that he will be able to say to David

Cameron am I am now making changes which could lead to a reform of

parting funding, will you? We just saw Nick Clegg and David Cameron

together, and Ed Miliband, with Andy Murray - this may allow the Labour

leader to say to the Liberal Democrats, why don't we join forces

together to oppose the Conservatives on that vexed issue of party

The Government is publishing a National Curriculum for five to

14-year-olds in England. Changes are to take effect from September of

next year. Unions say that is too soon. The revision means focus on

gramer, science and more challenging maths too. Rita Chakrabarti has the

details. You are making a fold to start

with... That's going to then make it into quarters.

Fractions for five-year-old, is the new plan. Although at this London

school year one gets to grips with halves and quarters. The National

Curriculum is the body of learning that all pupils must be taught. The

Government says schools in England have fallen behind international

competitors it wants them to be more ambitious.

We are demanding cha children are taught how to write computer code.

To use 3D printers. So expectations of what children should achieve will

change. In maths, nine-year-olds will learn 12 times table. At

present it is sup to the tens timetables for 11-year-olds. In

science, evolution is to be taught in primary, but in history, primary

pupils will be taught up to 1066. After criticisms that going further

overloads young minds. I expect you sitting u straight with

your hands in your lap, boy. A taste of a Victorian classroom at a London

museum as part of a history trip. It may not look like it but they all

enjoy the subject. How do they feel about plans to make them learn more

dates? Last year we learn bad the Tudors. I don't remember dates, but

I do remember what happened. It is quite important to know the basics.

Because it is all of the things that we need to know about the main parts

history that may be important. Back in the modern classroom, the

head here is worried by the plans. Amend elements of the National

Curriculum but keep what we have. It worked. It was improving. Teachers

are used to it. We resourced it. Suddenly we are changing again. Not

a good idea. Lessons here will be different next

year with harder topics and more to get through. Some say that the

tribal table is rushed. Changes are due in September, 2014. While Wales

is reviewing arrangements, in ation nations there is no change, but

England's academies and free schools will not have to follow this new

National Curriculum. It leads some to question the relevance. The plane

that crashed at San Francisco Airport on Saturday was travelling

low slowly as it landed. Ashton-under-Lyne Flight 214 was

said to be significantly below the target landing speed as it

approached the runway -- Asiana flight.

43 hours are said to be spent training on the Boeing 777.

We have been studying the latest images of what happened.

Look at that one... The final moments of flight 214. Caught by an

amateur cameraman across the San Francisco Bay.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God, you're filming it.

Oh, my God. This is where it ended up, a smoking

wreck. Fire still burning inside. There was no warning for the

passengers, they jumped from what was left of the plane using the

emergency slides, desperate to get away.

Bank! The impact was so powerful. -- bang. The captain was screaming

for an emergency vak weighs. Two schoolgirls were killed, Ye

Mengyuan on the left and Wang Linjia were Chinese students, coming to

California to practise their English over the summer. One of the girls

may have been killed by an emergency vehicle on the runway. Flying into

San Francisco slowly, the Asiana flight came in too low and hit the

edge of the runway. The tail was ripped off along with the landing

gear. The body of the plane skidded almost 2,000 feet before coming to

rest and then bursting into flames. The crash investigators have gone

through the voice and data recorders recovered from the scene.

We have no evidence of any distress calls or problem reports with

respect to the aircraft prior to the accident.

The pilot had little experience in the Boeing 777 and had not landed

this kind of plane at this airport before. Just seven seconds before

the crash an alarm went off. The pilot tried to pull up moments

before the impact, but by then it was too late. The Post Office has

admitted that software defects have affected a computer system that's

been the cause of a prolonged dispute with some post masters. More

than 100 allege that they were wrongly prosecuted or forced to pay

back thousands of pounds after the Post Office computers created

non-existent short falls. Matt Prodger has the story it is a

computer system to process #6 million Post Office transactions a

day. The Post Office say it is works well, but a small minority of

sub-post masters long complained it was faulty.

He was dumb founded... Jo Hamilton used to be a village sub-post

Mistress. She pleaded guilty to false accounting after her computer

said she owed the Post Office �36,000. She said that the computer

was wrong but could not prove it. So did more than 100 sub-post masters

also blamed for losses. We are all angry. We want justice

for what has been awful. Some people have gone to prison.

You know, one gentleman who had worked for Royal Mail for 40 years.

He ends up spending his 60th birthday in prison. You don't just

suddenly turn into a criminal at that age. A Post Office

investigation found no evidence of system-wide problems with the

computer software, but the Post Office discovered defects that

impacted on 76 branches. The report says that the short falls resulted

in branches being asked to make good incorrect amounts.

The Post Office says that its systems function effectively, but it

has promised further investigation. The worry is if the procedures had

been in place before many of the prosecutions that happened took

place, then many of those prosecutions may well have never

gotten anywhere. Some people, therefore, have been prosecuted for

things that they would not now be prosecuted for.

There is a long list of sub-post masters who say that they intend to

sue the Post Office. One of them was pregnant when jailed for failing to

balance the books. In another case a man lost his home and was brunted by

the legal action. In all cases they say that the computer system used by

the Post Office wat at fault, not them. This report does not prove

that the sub-post masters were right and the Post Office wrong. That's a

matter for further investigation. 17 years ago a highly critical report

into sex abuse at children's homes in North Wales was completed but

then shelved by the council that commissioned it as it was concern

bad the legal implications. Today that report was published,

cataloguing what it said was extensive abuse over a substantial

number of years. Our Wales correspondent has the story.

Abused, where they should have been protected. What happened to children

in care across North Wales is now the subject of two major

investigations, but it could have been exposed sooner. Most copies of

this 1996 report were destroyed. The local authority feared compensation

claims from the people it named. Today it was released, with sections

blanked out. It warned that abuse was extensive and has taken place

over an extended number of years. The interests of children have

almost invariably been sacrificed. There had been suicides, lives

severely disrupted and disturbed. At least 12 young people are dead.

The treatment of children was beastal, really. They were not

treated like human beings. Because they were regarded as behaviour that

was needed to be brought under control.

That was not yes, sirily done by reason it was done by knocking it

out of them. As a 12-year-old, Keith Gregory was abused in care. He said

that the council's decision to destroy copies of the report meant

that victims were left vulnerable. We all have this fear, really, that

how many people have been allowed to still abuse people? They could have

been taken off the road a long time ago. How many people have been hurt

because of this report being put behind? The report reveals the

frustration it found trying to get evidence from the council and the

police it says that there were investigations against officers but

no way to be sure that they could be properly investigated. The BBC

Newsnight report that led to a Tory peer being falsely accused of

paedophilia returned to spotlight in North Wales. The council that ran

the homes has been disbanded. The former leader says it is right that

the proper people should be made transparent.

Hope at the end of this period that we get to the truth of what happened

and that nothing is hidden. Today signal as small victory for

those who for years claimed a cover-up, but it is only another

chapter in a tragic story that has blighted and destroyed lives.

A little more on the Andy Murray victory at Wimbledon. Those that

contributed to it. No-one was more central than his mother, Judy. So

what does it mean for the mother of the first British Wimbledon champion

in eight decades? James Cook has been founding out.

-- finding out. Hand-shakes for everyone, well,

almost everyone. COMMENTATOR: Can we see Mum

anywhere? Where is mum? Get back here.

I think everyone was shouting, what about mum! He turned around and I

went down to see him it was a lovely moment.

A moment that they had both waited years for. A top tennis coach

herself, they called Judy Murray a pushy parent, but yesterday she was

a thrilled mum. The minute he hit the winning shot,

that is just an enormous moment in his life, in our life. In British

sport. In British tennis, in Scottish tennis. Yeah, just a huge,

huge moment. And this is where it all began, on

the green grass courts of home. It's been a glorious day in Dunblane, the

hottest of the year. Everyone in the town is bask nth sunshine and

bursting with pride. In return, this... I would just like to say
