:00:26. > :00:27.The BBC understands Angela Eagle, formerly Shadow Business Secretary,

:01:55. > :01:58.After days of pressure, including a vote of no confidence
:01:59. > :02:01.and over 40 Shadow Cabinet resignations, Labour's Jeremy Corbyn
:02:02. > :02:06.The BBC has been told that the former Shadow Business
:02:07. > :02:08.Secretary, Angela Eagle, will announce she's standing
:02:09. > :02:13.Mr Corbyn faced more calls to resign today from his own Deputy,
:02:14. > :02:15.from the former Labour leader, Ed Miliband, and -
:02:16. > :02:18.highly unusually - from the Prime Minister.
:02:19. > :02:20.This evening, Mr Corbyn attended a rally of his supporters
:02:21. > :02:29.Our deputy political editor, John Pienaar, has the latest.
:02:30. > :02:36.And off to work he goes. This is as calm as it gets for Jeremy Corbyn
:02:37. > :02:40.just now, pushed about, everyone asking when he will give up and go.
:02:41. > :02:43.Good morning, everybody, nice to see you all. There is nothing good about
:02:44. > :02:49.the Labour leader's day today or any day. It keeps getting worse. There's
:02:50. > :02:53.a Polish centre to visit with Tom Watson. Everybody already knew his
:02:54. > :02:58.deputy wanted him to quit but he was doing business as usual. Today,
:02:59. > :03:01.condemning hate crime. We as a society will prosecute those people
:03:02. > :03:07.that commit hate crimes. Thank you very much. Over this way, thank you
:03:08. > :03:10.so much. Time for that brief sentiment before he is hauled off by
:03:11. > :03:14.his staff before reporters can ask about his struggling leadership.
:03:15. > :03:18.Later Tom Watson went public, he wouldn't challenge for the
:03:19. > :03:23.leadership but MrCorbyn had to go. My party is in peril. We are facing
:03:24. > :03:27.an existential crisis. I just don't want us to be in this position
:03:28. > :03:31.because I think there are millions of people in the country who need a
:03:32. > :03:35.left-leaning Government, who can give people opportunity and right
:03:36. > :03:42.now we are not doing that. There is a challenger waiting,
:03:43. > :03:51.Angela Eagle who joined the mass resignation of ministers will
:03:52. > :03:56.declare her Danned Cassie tomorrow. Caps -- candidacy. They're going
:03:57. > :04:01.down like nine pins... Angela Eagle is offering herself as an
:04:02. > :04:06.experienced hand, she was elected in 1992 and one capable of reuniting
:04:07. > :04:09.the party. She served as Minister under John Prescott and Gordon Brown
:04:10. > :04:13.and then in the Shadow Cabinet until she joined the coup intended to
:04:14. > :04:23.bring down Jeremy Corbyn. She's one of the first women MPs to come out
:04:24. > :04:29.as gay. Her twin sister, also resigned. For Jeremy Corbyn it's
:04:30. > :04:32.been a bad day at the office. He has never faced demands from so high up
:04:33. > :04:37.or before such a laughing stock just for being in the Commons. Jeremy
:04:38. > :04:42.Corbyn. Thank you, MrSpeaker. The Prime Minister has two months left.
:04:43. > :04:45.Will he leave a one-nation legacy? He talks about job insecurity and my
:04:46. > :04:48.two months to go. It might be in my party's interests for him to sit
:04:49. > :04:52.there, it's not in the national interests and I would say for
:04:53. > :04:57.heaven's sake man, go! That must have hurt but it got worse when his
:04:58. > :05:02.own past leader, never an open critic until now, piled in too. I
:05:03. > :05:05.have come to the conclusion, very reluctantly, that Jeremy Corbyn's
:05:06. > :05:09.position is untenable. This is a time of acute national crisis.
:05:10. > :05:12.People from all wings of the party in parliament have lost confidence
:05:13. > :05:17.in Jeremy. Sadly, I believe he has to go. Some of your colleagues seem
:05:18. > :05:22.genuinely afraid that this civil war, which is now under way, could
:05:23. > :05:25.end in the Labour Party being broken irrepairably. Do you share that
:05:26. > :05:29.fear? I think there is huge risks to the Labour Party, obviously, of the
:05:30. > :05:34.divisions that we see. Such as what? I care more about the risks to the
:05:35. > :05:38.country. There is a vacuum of leadership in the country at the
:05:39. > :05:42.moment. People, the public, I think will look very badly on us if we
:05:43. > :05:46.carry on with a leader that doesn't have the support of most other
:05:47. > :05:51.parliamentary party and we just have division. Trade union support is
:05:52. > :05:55.crucial to Mr Corbyn and tonight four big unions called a challenge
:05:56. > :06:03.unnecessary but also said MPs should unite around whoever won. Tonight,
:06:04. > :06:05.at a pro-Corbyn rally his chief lieu teenant was getting the --
:06:06. > :06:10.lieutenant was getting the campaign started early. I am not going to
:06:11. > :06:14.give thaup hope of a socialist society built in this country or be
:06:15. > :06:19.bullied out of it by a group of Labour MPs who refuse to accept
:06:20. > :06:25.democracy in our party. For MrCorbyn, evidence as if it was
:06:26. > :06:30.needed, of the deep divisions in the party. What about... Last week...
:06:31. > :06:34.What about Europe, where were you when we needed you? It's just the
:06:35. > :06:38.start thchlt battle for the party's leadership and its future will be
:06:39. > :06:42.truly painful for Labour in the weeks ahead. It's just the start.
:06:43. > :06:46.The battle for the party's leadership and its future will be
:06:47. > :06:54.truly painful for Labour in the weeks ahead and long afterwards.
:06:55. > :06:56.Well the Conservative leadership battle is also under way.
:06:57. > :06:58.The Work and Pensions Secretary, Stephen Crabbe, has become
:06:59. > :07:01.the first to confirm that he will stand for party leader
:07:02. > :07:04.He was followed by the former Defence Secretary, Liam Fox.
:07:05. > :07:07.Boris Johnson and Home Secretary Theresa May are also
:07:08. > :07:09.expected to confirm they'll join the race.
:07:10. > :07:10.Nominations close at midday tomorrow.
:07:11. > :07:13.Our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, has more.
:07:14. > :07:15.Politics is being pulled apart before our eyes
:07:16. > :07:19.This afternoon, the rules of the contest to be the next
:07:20. > :07:22.Prime Minister have been decided but it's Tory MPs, then party
:07:23. > :07:28.members who will choose who will be in charge.
:07:29. > :07:32.The favourite - the biggest winner of last week -
:07:33. > :07:35.Boris Johnson, who can always pull a crowd.
:07:36. > :07:37.But in a moment of crisis is a politician who sometimes
:07:38. > :07:42.is accused of cartoonish behaviour the right choice?
:07:43. > :07:44.I think Boris Johnson has the ability to reach out to people.
:07:45. > :07:50.He secured a massive mandate as part of the Leave campaign.
:07:51. > :07:54.I think over the coming months we need to talk about all the other
:07:55. > :07:59.Looking increasingly cheery, his main rival, the Home
:08:00. > :08:04.MPs say her serious style is picking up support.
:08:05. > :08:06.I want somebody who's got a clear track record of leadership,
:08:07. > :08:11.of making decisions and delivering at the very top level.
:08:12. > :08:14.And somebody who's got a record of delivering on that
:08:15. > :08:17.and Theresa May's absolutely got that for me and she's got that focus
:08:18. > :08:19.and determination and the sincerity that I want to see
:08:20. > :08:25.Enter the first candidate to launch openly.
:08:26. > :08:27.Stephen Crabb, now in charge at Work and Pensions.
:08:28. > :08:30.I was brought up to understand that nothing gets handed
:08:31. > :08:34.On the rainy rugby fields of West Wales I learned that it's
:08:35. > :08:36.not a question of waiting for the ball to pop out
:08:37. > :08:44.If you want it, you do what's required.

:08:57. > :08:59.trading relationships with the rest of the EU but he'd put together
:09:00. > :09:01.a cross-party group to work out the detail.
:09:02. > :09:04.Do you really think that members of the Tory Party and then members
:09:05. > :09:08.of the public will be looking to someone who,
:09:09. > :09:10.with respect, has been in the Cabinet for two years
:09:11. > :09:14.There isn't anyone around the Cabinet table at the moment
:09:15. > :09:19.who's got the full range of experience to be able to deal
:09:20. > :09:22.with the unique set of problems in front of it and nobody's got
:09:23. > :09:25.a play book or a manual with all the clear instructions
:09:26. > :09:29.We are in unchartered waters but that is why you need somebody
:09:30. > :09:33.with the right values, the right sense of the need
:09:34. > :09:36.Isn't the truth you're putting a marker down for
:09:37. > :09:41.When Margaret Thatcher ran to lead the Conservative Party she had only
:09:42. > :09:43.been in the Cabinet two years as Education Secretary.
:09:44. > :09:46.David Cameron had never been in the Cabinet.
:09:47. > :09:49.Yes, I am one of the younger ones around the Cabinet table but that's
:09:50. > :09:52.no bad thing in an age when we are actually having to think
:09:53. > :09:55.about issues of intergenerational fairness to reconnect with those
:09:56. > :09:58.people up and down our country who look at all of us in Westminster
:09:59. > :10:03.now and don't believe a single word any of us say.
:10:04. > :10:07.Anyone else who wants the most important seat at this table has
:10:08. > :10:09.to confirm their bid tomorrow but in the end it
:10:10. > :10:11.will be Tory Party members, not the rest of us,
:10:12. > :10:16.Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster.
:10:17. > :10:17.Our deputy political editor, John Pienaar,
:10:18. > :10:27.I can't recall a time when there have been two leadership contests in
:10:28. > :10:30.the two main parties at the same time. Let's talk about the
:10:31. > :10:34.Conservative one first. An e-mail has surfaced which shed light on the
:10:35. > :10:40.situation with Boris Johnson and Michael Gove. That's right. Boris
:10:41. > :10:43.Johnson starts the race way ahead arguably on charisma and popular
:10:44. > :10:47.appeal and his launch tomorrow will be an optimistic vision of Britain's
:10:48. > :10:51.future. But his vulnerabilities and weaknesses are discussed behind the
:10:52. > :10:53.scenes in the Tory Party. It's possible they could rather dog him
:10:54. > :10:58.through the campaign. You will recall he teamed up about with
:10:59. > :11:03.Michael Gove, they both joined the Leave campaign. An e-mail has
:11:04. > :11:06.emerged written by Michael Gove's wife Sarah Vine in which she warns
:11:07. > :11:10.her husband to get a clear promise of a job from Boris Johnson early
:11:11. > :11:18.on, which suggests rather a lack of trust. She also suggests that the
:11:19. > :11:21.media moguls Rupert Murdoch and Paul Dacre dislike Boris Johnson. The
:11:22. > :11:26.Home Secretary, Theresa May, will start the race as well tomorrow.
:11:27. > :11:30.She's likely to contrast her experience with Boris Johnson. She
:11:31. > :11:34.will be the candidate of a safe pair of hands which could suggest that
:11:35. > :11:39.Boris Johnson is more show than substance. This contest is easy to
:11:40. > :11:46.imagine it could become personal and even nasty from the start. Then a
:11:47. > :11:49.challenge to the Labour leader tomorrow, Jeremy Corbyn insists he
:11:50. > :11:53.can stay on, can he? He says he will hang on in there. As we start this
:11:54. > :11:56.contest, because we start it tomorrow, it's going to be a very,
:11:57. > :12:00.very bloody affair. The thing you hear most from Labour MPs is that
:12:01. > :12:03.it's an existential contest and they mean that it will tear the Labour
:12:04. > :12:07.Party apart. That's a given. Also, that they may not be able to put the
:12:08. > :12:13.parts back together afterwards, that we could see a split on the lines of
:12:14. > :12:16.the physical tear that took place in 1980s, only worse and more
:12:17. > :12:23.permanent. Angela Eagle will join the contest. There are others behind
:12:24. > :12:28.her like Owen Smith, who was in the Shadow Cabinet and resigned, as
:12:29. > :12:32.well, and even Yvette Cooper, who rather fancy their chances too. It
:12:33. > :12:35.will be maybe more brutal than the Tory contest but I guess these are
:12:36. > :12:37.ambitious figures too and they seem keen to join in the race. We shall
:12:38. > :12:40.see, thank you. Let's take a brief look at some
:12:41. > :12:43.of the day's other news stories. There have been signs of recovery
:12:44. > :12:46.in the markets today as the FTSE. 100 regained all the ground it lost
:12:47. > :12:50.in the wake of the vote The share index closed up 3.6%

:13:16. > :13:22.said that the vote to leave the EU will not affect the border agreement

:13:27. > :13:28.on the French side of Some French politicians had called
:13:29. > :13:35.for it to be scrapped. There was an uncompromising message
:13:36. > :13:39.from Brussels today, as 27 European Union leaders wrapped
:13:40. > :13:42.up their summit, for the first time in over 40 years,
:13:43. > :13:44.without the presence They warned the UK that it
:13:45. > :13:50.will have to accept the free movement of people -
:13:51. > :13:52.in other words, unlimited immigration from the EU -
:13:53. > :13:54.if it still wants access The president of the European
:13:55. > :13:57.Council, Donald Tusk, said Britain couldn't
:13:58. > :14:00.have an "a la carte" approach. From Brussels, our Europe editor,
:14:01. > :14:04.Katya Adler, reports. But no British Prime Minister
:14:05. > :14:14.stepped out of a shiny black car The UK was locked out today

:15:10. > :15:15.market and stop EU migration. There will be no single
:15:16. > :15:20.market a la carte. President Juncker, will the UK find
:15:21. > :15:23.an accord with the EU Well, it depends
:15:24. > :15:28.on the negotiations. There will be no negotiations
:15:29. > :15:30.without notification. No negotiation without
:15:31. > :15:35.notification, he said. The EU wants the UK to trigger
:15:36. > :15:38.formal Brexit talks with them Of course, when the EU leaders
:15:39. > :15:42.insist there'll be no flexibility on a UK deal now, that
:15:43. > :15:45.doesn't mean there won't be After all, Brussels is known
:15:46. > :15:52.as the capital of compromise. The truth is, no one knows,
:15:53. > :15:54.not the leaders, not No country has ever
:15:55. > :16:01.left the EU before. Plots, plans and rumours fly around,
:16:02. > :16:04.but certain is only this - Nicola Sturgeon's hopes of winning
:16:05. > :16:20.support for her attempt to keep Scotland in the EU have been
:16:21. > :16:23.dealt a blow. The president of the European
:16:24. > :16:31.Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, and the Prime Minister
:16:32. > :16:34.of Spain, both said the EU could only negotiate
:16:35. > :16:36.with the UK Government. But after a day of talks
:16:37. > :16:38.with European officials, Ms Sturgeon said "doors were open"
:16:39. > :16:41.and she'd been met with a "very Our Scotland editor,
:16:42. > :16:44.Sarah Smith, reports from Brussels. Nicola Sturgeon looks
:16:45. > :16:49.like a woman ready to stride Meeting the president
:16:50. > :16:52.of the European Commission as part of her campaign to try to keep
:16:53. > :16:54.Scotland inside the EU. That will take a lot more
:16:55. > :16:59.than just smiles and kisses. The First Minister dashed
:17:00. > :17:02.from meeting to meeting telling everyone Scotland wants to stay
:17:03. > :17:05.and should not be forced out. I asked her if she really expects
:17:06. > :17:08.some kind of special I've got a duty to try to deliver
:17:09. > :17:17.that and I've got a duty at this stage to explore all
:17:18. > :17:19.possible options to do so. Do you still think it's highly
:17:20. > :17:21.likely there might be a second referendum
:17:22. > :17:22.on independence? Yes, I do, because I think -
:17:23. > :17:27.while all options are on the table - I do think that it is highly likely
:17:28. > :17:30.that we will reach a point where the only option for Scotland,
:17:31. > :17:33.if we want to retain our membership of the EU, is to do that
:17:34. > :17:42.as an independent state. He doesn't want to talk
:17:43. > :17:44.to Scotland until then. The Spanish Prime Minister,
:17:45. > :17:46.worried about separatists movements in his own country, says the EU
:17:47. > :17:49.should negotiate only with the UK and not be talking
:17:50. > :17:53.to Scotland at all. TRANSLATION: I am extremely
:17:54. > :17:56.against it, the treaties are extremely against it
:17:57. > :17:58.and I believe everyone So if the United Kingdom leaves
:17:59. > :18:02.the European Union, Nicola Sturgeon says she was not
:18:03. > :18:14.surprised by that Spanish hostility, as she walked and talked her way
:18:15. > :18:18.around the corridors of power. But even sympathetic politicians
:18:19. > :18:20.can't see how Scotland can cut a separate deal if it's not
:18:21. > :18:24.a separate country. Scotland is part of
:18:25. > :18:27.the United Kingdom. What will happen in
:18:28. > :18:31.the United Kingdom has to be decided in Scotland,
:18:32. > :18:32.in Edinburgh and It's no secret that
:18:33. > :18:37.what Nicola Sturgeon really wants is for Scotland
:18:38. > :18:39.to join the European Union So her mission here
:18:40. > :18:46.today can't really fail. If she can secure a special deal
:18:47. > :18:48.for Scotland ultimately, If she can't, well, she can always
:18:49. > :18:53.hold another referendum Either way, it looks good

:19:45. > :19:53.by CCTV, floored by shots Wounded, he drops his rifle and it
:19:54. > :20:00.slides across the floor. The policeman approaches him,
:20:01. > :20:04.then spots his suicide belt and runs, just before the gunman
:20:05. > :20:10.detonates the device. Dozens were killed, many more
:20:11. > :20:15.wounded, taken to nearby hospitals. A co-ordinated attack on one
:20:16. > :20:17.of the world's busiest hubs, As soon as we came out we really saw
:20:18. > :20:26.the full extent of it... Lawrence Cameron landed
:20:27. > :20:28.on a flight from Latvia As he walked through the Arrivals
:20:29. > :20:33.area, the horror became clear. Walked around the corner,
:20:34. > :20:37.into the main terminal, and just a sea of people -
:20:38. > :20:40.screaming, running, tripping, I started taking a few pictures,
:20:41. > :20:46.but then the police started pushing us back, you know,
:20:47. > :20:50.into the back of the terminal and it quickly became clear that
:20:51. > :20:51.something nasty had happened. This wasn't a hoax
:20:52. > :20:57.or anything like that. They worked through the night
:20:58. > :20:59.to repair the area, windows shattered, ceilings destroyed
:21:00. > :21:01.by automatic gunfire A futile attempt to return
:21:02. > :21:10.to normality. The airport reopened quickly,
:21:11. > :21:13.an attempt to reassure passengers. But this is a profoundly shaken
:21:14. > :21:17.country, Turkey's image, once again, hit by another deadly attack
:21:18. > :21:21.and with the wave of bombings across Turkey showing
:21:22. > :21:24.no signs of abating, there will be big questions
:21:25. > :21:27.about how to increase security The three attackers were driven
:21:28. > :21:34.in by taxi, the car not checked There were worries it was
:21:35. > :21:40.a soft target. The government says all signs point
:21:41. > :21:42.to the Islamic State group, the latest in a spate of attacks
:21:43. > :21:45.by IS cells here. At the hospital, emotional
:21:46. > :21:47.scenes as families fought between themselves, a desperate
:21:48. > :21:52.search for who was to blame. Others waited for news of loved ones
:21:53. > :21:55.caught up in a situation Among the casualties,
:21:56. > :22:01.Turks and foreigners too, from Saudi Arabia, Jordan,
:22:02. > :22:07.Iran and elsewhere. And the first are now
:22:08. > :22:09.being laid to rest - passengers, police, airport staff -
:22:10. > :22:23.lives ripped apart in a country Still no claim of responsibility
:22:24. > :22:26.here, but actually IS has never actually claimed responsibility for
:22:27. > :22:32.any of the attacks in Turkey that it is believed to have committed. A few
:22:33. > :22:36.clues. Tonight the Director of the CIA says the attack bears all the
:22:37. > :22:44.hallmarks by so-called Islamic State. A recent message by a pro
:22:45. > :22:50.supposed spokesman of IS called for attacks during Ramadan, and it's two
:22:51. > :22:55.years to the day since IS declared its caliphate. They have accused the
:22:56. > :23:01.government of failing to secure the country. President Erdogan vowed to
:23:02. > :23:10.eradicate terror. The problem is that fewer and fewer people in this
:23:11. > :23:19.nervous country really believe him. Mark Lowen, in Istanbul, thank you.
:23:20. > :23:21.The number of families in temporary housing is at its highest
:23:22. > :23:24.for more than five years, with more than a million in England
:23:25. > :23:26.and Wales on council housing waiting lists.
:23:27. > :23:28.The latest figures will be announced tomorrow, but housing analysts
:23:29. > :23:31.are warning of a "perfect storm" of rising rents, benefit cuts
:23:32. > :23:33.and an acute shortage of affordable housing.
:23:34. > :23:36.The Government says it has a ?5 million fund to help councils
:23:37. > :23:39.Our UK affairs correspondent, Jeremy Cooke, has this special report.
:23:40. > :23:40.Health care assistant, Natasha and Henry,
:23:41. > :23:48.A small family, overwhelmed by a giant housing crisis.
:23:49. > :23:52.We sleep, me and Henry, here, on this bed.
:23:53. > :23:56.At the same time, this is our dining table.
:23:57. > :24:00.This is their home, two of them now sharing four walls,
:24:01. > :24:05.Among thousands now in temporary accommodation.
:24:06. > :24:09.We first met Natasha when she was facing eviction
:24:10. > :24:11.from her West London flat six months ago.
:24:12. > :24:18.A working mum, who fell behind on her rent.
:24:19. > :24:21.The council says it's tried to help, but the few places on offer are too
:24:22. > :24:24.expensive or too far away from her job.
:24:25. > :24:29.I can't sleep because of this situation.
:24:30. > :24:34.How can a human being, who is working, earning money,
:24:35. > :24:37.you know, you don't enjoy your life.
:24:38. > :24:49.She went to the doctors and her pressure was up.
:24:50. > :24:56.I got upset because I knew, first thing, it was this house
:24:57. > :25:03.It may be centred on London, but this is a national housing
:25:04. > :25:06.crisis with soaring rents, benefit cuts and now more than a million
:25:07. > :25:10.people waiting for council houses which simply aren't there.
:25:11. > :25:13.The response is often crisis management, firefighting a sticking
:25:14. > :25:15.plaster on the symptoms of a wider housing crisis,
:25:16. > :25:23.And the people who are paying the price are ordinary families.
:25:24. > :25:29.Stuck in a temporary one-bedroomed flat for more than a year,
:25:30. > :25:34.The council house waiting list makes grim reading.
:25:35. > :25:46.Here, it's two rooms for five people.
:25:47. > :25:50.After all this time, the temporary is feeling permanent.
:25:51. > :25:54.It feels like it's never going to end.
:25:55. > :25:56.Haley, originally from South Africa, was working, but divorce meant
:25:57. > :26:00.eviction, unemployment and then this place.
:26:01. > :26:02.The council says it is trying to help her.
:26:03. > :26:25.I don't feel like anybody thinks I'm important.
:26:26. > :26:32.It's a crisis that will have a profound impact on many
:26:33. > :26:35.young lives, as they grow up with no place to call home.
:26:36. > :26:39.Jeremy Cooke, BBC News, London.
:26:40. > :26:44.It's probably a once-in-a-career moment if you are ranked 772nd
:26:45. > :26:47.in the world tennis rankings and you end up playing 17-time Grand
:26:48. > :26:51.Slam winner, Roger Federer, on Wimbledon's Centre Court.
:26:52. > :26:54.But Britain's Marcus Willis was undaunted by his clash this
:26:55. > :26:56.afternoon, saying afterwards he'd "earned himself a beer."
:26:57. > :27:01.Our sports correspondent, Joe Wilson, watched the match.
:27:02. > :27:03.Centre Court, on Wednesday afternoon, what on earth
:27:04. > :27:09.He's supposed to be back in Warwick - there are people
:27:10. > :27:13.Well, sorry, your coach is taking on Roger Federer,
:27:14. > :27:15.along with his followers in their socks.
:27:16. > :27:26.You don't get to World Number 772 without having some skills on court,
:27:27. > :27:30.COMMENTATOR: This is unbelievable.
:27:31. > :27:37.Ah, but Federer won the first set, 6-0.
:27:38. > :27:39.Centre Court wanted Willis to do himself justice
:27:40. > :27:42.and at the start of the second set he won his first game.
:27:43. > :27:45.Greeted as if he'd won the Championship -
:27:46. > :27:47.at Wimbledon and indeed back in Warwick.
:27:48. > :27:53.If it was Hollywood, Marcus Willis would be played by Bruce.
:27:54. > :27:56.Well, this is one of those sporting stories of the ordinary man,
:27:57. > :27:59.a triumph of perseverance and possibility and that's why,
:28:00. > :28:02.when it comes to Marcus Willis, even on the dreariest of days,
:28:03. > :28:10.Having lost the second set, 6-3, Willis became
:28:11. > :28:12.even more competitive in the third.
:28:13. > :28:17.Federer eventually took that third set, 6-4,
:28:18. > :28:19.and so the match, but the experience belonged to Willis.
:28:20. > :28:24.If I'm playing well and competing with Roger Federer for a couple
:28:25. > :28:28.of sets, then I'm doing the right thing.
:28:29. > :28:31.So I've still got a lot to learn and a lot of improving
:28:32. > :28:35.Marcus brought some unbelievable energy to the court with the fans
:28:36. > :28:37.and then with his play as well and with his personality.
:28:38. > :28:41.Well, that compliment may be worth even more to Marcus Willis
:28:42. > :28:55.Tomorrow, commemorations will begin to mark the 100th anniversary
:28:56. > :29:02.of a battle that has come to symbolise the horrors
:29:03. > :29:05.On the first day alone, nearly 20,000 allied
:29:06. > :29:07.soldiers were killed - the bloodiest battle
:29:08. > :29:10.Over the next five months, a million were killed
:29:11. > :29:13.Our special correspondent, Allan Little, reports
:29:14. > :29:15.from Northern France on the enduring significance of the
:29:16. > :29:22.Before 1st July 1916, the Somme was simply a river,
:29:23. > :29:30.After that date, it became a metaphor that holds our collective
:29:31. > :29:36.So great, so sudden, so unexpected was the catastrophe
:29:37. > :29:42.British commanders believed the attack in these
:29:43. > :29:48.Their men didn't want to be left out of the last big push for victory.
:29:49. > :29:55.Look into their relaxed, even cheerful faces as they gathered
:29:56. > :29:58.that morning and you see the last moments of a lost innocence
:29:59. > :30:02.about the nature of modern war and what it would do from now on.
:30:03. > :30:06.When they climbed onto exposed open ground, they thought the German
:30:07. > :30:09.guns had been destroyed by a week-long bombardment.
:30:10. > :30:11.They had no idea what was waiting for them.
:30:12. > :30:29.The Germans had thousands of these, the Maxim machine gun.
:30:30. > :30:37.Against this there was no chance, but they went
:30:38. > :30:43.on and on, walking into it - all day.
:30:44. > :30:45.The French would call this gun the 'Lawnmower',
:30:46. > :30:52.the British the 'Devil's Paintbrush'.
:30:53. > :30:55.The cemeteries of the Somme recall the worst single day
:30:56. > :31:01.Days later, the wounded were still calling out from no
:31:02. > :31:07.man's land and it went on for five months more.
:31:08. > :31:10.One who died that first day was Lieutenant Evelyn
:31:11. > :31:15.Lintott, footballer - Queens Park Rangers and England.
:31:16. > :31:19.His old club has a capacity of 20,000, the number killed
:31:20. > :31:31.on the 1st July alone - each seat a life unlived.
:31:32. > :31:34.By November 1916, a million had been killed or wounded on all sides,
:31:35. > :31:40.enough to fill this stadium 50 times over.
:31:41. > :31:45.In the poetic and popular imagination, the Somme
:31:46. > :31:47.symobolises futility, for nothing was gained.
:31:48. > :31:55.For allied commanders learned from this to adapt to warfare
:31:56. > :31:58.in the machine age and won the war in the end.
:31:59. > :32:01.Today, the Somme is a place of secular pilgrimage.
:32:02. > :32:05.These walkers plan to create a path long the old front-line
:32:06. > :32:08.from the English Channel to the Swiss border to be called -
:32:09. > :32:16.For in these fields those far off young men, who left their bones
:32:17. > :32:19.in the mud of northern France, still speak to us powerfully
:32:20. > :32:22.of what Europe has been capable of doing to itself.
:32:23. > :32:35.Newsnight's about to begin over on BBC Two in a few moments.
:32:36. > :32:40.Tonight, we'll ask how determined is Europe to defend that principle
:32:41. > :32:43.They say it's a non-negotiatable piece of the single market,
:32:44. > :32:45.but is there a chink of flexibility there?
:32:46. > :32:53.Join me now on BBC Two, 11.00pm in Scotland.
:32:54. > :32:56.Here, on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.
