:02:53. > :03:00.Yes, police here are calling this an anti-police, anti-white, effectively

:03:27. > :03:40.In downtown Dallas, this is the moment a peaceful protest turned
:03:41. > :03:43.into terror. THE crowd was demonstrating against policeman when
:03:44. > :03:49.one man apparently decided to seek his own bloody revenge. There was
:03:50. > :03:54.panic as the crowd and police tried to figure out who was shooting.
:03:55. > :04:04.There's a cop down! There's four cops down. For? It's a sniper, from
:04:05. > :04:10.up here. And as ever in the America of 2016... Somebody is really armed
:04:11. > :04:13.to the teeth. The horror was documented minute by minute. Michael
:04:14. > :04:17.was in the thick of it. They are shooting right now and there's an
:04:18. > :04:22.officer down. It's coming from the right over there, from around these
:04:23. > :04:29.buildings. He's started shooting, all of the cops were getting shot,
:04:30. > :04:34.man. They had to be five or six cops all getting shot down. Police
:04:35. > :04:38.sprinted towards the danger, heavily armed but at the same time suddenly
:04:39. > :04:45.exposed and fragile. As police radio calls back to their control room
:04:46. > :04:50.revealed. We've got a man, we don't know where he's at. He's in the
:04:51. > :04:54.building right there. This footage seems to capture the gunman on the
:04:55. > :04:58.street by now, murdering at point-blank range. In scenes that
:04:59. > :05:02.are too distressing to show. Eventually, after a shoot out
:05:03. > :05:09.lasting several hours, police sent in a robot to blow up a suspect. We
:05:10. > :05:15.cornered one suspect and we tried to negotiate for several hours,
:05:16. > :05:23.negotiations broke down. We had an exchange of gunfire with the
:05:24. > :05:28.suspects. We saw no other option but to use our bomb robot. Police also
:05:29. > :05:32.arrested two men and a woman but the chief says the suspects who died had
:05:33. > :05:37.told negotiators he was working alone. He has been identified by US
:05:38. > :05:42.media is 25-year-old Micah Xavier Johnson, a former US Army reserve is
:05:43. > :05:48.seen here in pictures on his Facebook page. The suspect said he
:05:49. > :05:51.was upset at white people. The suspect stated he wanted to kill
:05:52. > :05:56.white people, especially white officers. And now the faces of the
:05:57. > :06:00.dead are beginning to emerge. Brent Thompson was 43 years old and had
:06:01. > :06:05.just got married. 40-year-old Michael Cole that his brother-in-law
:06:06. > :06:11.was a big guy with a big heart, a man who always wanted to be a police

:06:15. > :06:17.His family said they were mourning a hero, remarks echoed by their

:06:30. > :06:32.are grieving with them. I would ask all Americans to say a prayer for
:06:33. > :06:37.these officers and their families, to keep them in your thoughts. Some
:06:38. > :06:41.of the police officers here have told me that they had friends who
:06:42. > :06:45.didn't make it last night. And yet they are out here in force again

:10:31. > :10:37.man suspected of being behind these attacks in Dallas? Yes, we're just
:10:38. > :10:41.learning a little more in the past few seconds, actually, from the
:10:42. > :10:44.police here in Dallas about Micah Johnson. Police have been at his
:10:45. > :10:49.house, they've been searching his house in Texas, and we are told now
:10:50. > :10:52.that they believe he had no criminal record and that in that house they
:10:53. > :10:56.have found what they call a ballistics best, that is to say a
:10:57. > :11:00.bullet-proof vest, rifles and ammunition, that they have been
:11:01. > :11:04.found in the house of the suspect. They have also formally confirmed
:11:05. > :11:08.for the first time his identity as Micah Johnson, this 25-year-old US
:11:09. > :11:12.Army veteran who served in Afghanistan. At this stage police
:11:13. > :11:16.have been saying that there are no known links to any known extremist
:11:17. > :11:20.groups, so you can decide for yourself if you want to call this a
:11:21. > :11:23.terrorist attack or not but what police are saying is they are
:11:24. > :11:26.steering away from that kind of language and talking about an
:11:27. > :11:31.individual. Still unclear whether he acted with any support from others,
:11:32. > :11:37.and what is really extraordinary and tragic as well is that 50 years ago,
:11:38. > :11:42.half a century ago now, just a couple of blocks from here an

:12:04. > :12:06.in close combat roles in the UK The Prime Minister confirmed
:12:07. > :12:10.the move after a government review There are around 7000 women
:12:11. > :12:13.in British Army currently, but some research suggestions only
:12:14. > :12:15.a small proportion would pass the physical tests
:12:16. > :12:18.required for the new roles. Our defence correspondent
:12:19. > :12:23.Jonathan Beale has more. Women have already served and died
:12:24. > :12:27.on the front line in Afghanistan. But only in support roles
:12:28. > :12:30.like medics and bomb disposal experts, and not in the infantry
:12:31. > :12:35.or armoured units. But ministers say it's now
:12:36. > :12:39.time to lift that ban. We are not lowering any
:12:40. > :12:41.of the standards. We are just recognising that
:12:42. > :12:44.actually there are a lot of women in the Armed Forces that can do
:12:45. > :12:47.these combat roles, do them perfectly well,
:12:48. > :12:49.and at the moment they are not allowed to simply
:12:50. > :12:53.because they are women. We join the Army's new intake
:12:54. > :12:56.of officer recruits on their final Here, the barriers have already been
:12:57. > :13:08.broken down, with women now But even among these future Army
:13:09. > :13:12.leaders, there are still questions about the physical demands that
:13:13. > :13:15.will be required of women in the infantry, such
:13:16. > :13:18.as carrying heavy loads, Physically, I wouldn't be able to do
:13:19. > :13:26.it, because of the weight. Not because I still wouldn't
:13:27. > :13:29.want to do it. But I just know that physically
:13:30. > :13:32.I wouldn't be able to. The infantry carry 25 kilos,
:13:33. > :13:34.and the corps carry 15. So females would normally
:13:35. > :13:36.only carry 15. And some people do
:13:37. > :13:38.struggle with that. If you up that weight,
:13:39. > :13:40.they find it a lot more There are some males who have not
:13:41. > :13:46.hit the fitness standard here, so they are not going
:13:47. > :13:48.to go infantry. There are some females that won't
:13:49. > :13:52.hit it but there are some that will, and I think they should have just
:13:53. > :13:54.the same opportunity The reality is few are
:13:55. > :13:58.likely to join. Even the Army's own figures show
:13:59. > :14:02.that fewer than 5% of those women already in the Army would meet
:14:03. > :14:05.the physical demands needed It's being done purely
:14:06. > :14:12.for political correctness. The Army, the infantry, is the last
:14:13. > :14:14.bastion of non-gender equality. I'm not saying that's a good thing
:14:15. > :14:17.in society in general. But I think this is one area
:14:18. > :14:22.where we should make that distinction and I think we will come
:14:23. > :14:25.to regret what I consider to be But those fears have been pushed
:14:26. > :14:31.to one side. The head of the Army says he wants
:14:32. > :14:34.to maximise opportunities And by lifting the ban,
:14:35. > :14:40.Britain is now falling into line There's further uncertainty
:14:41. > :14:50.for British steel workers tonight, after the Indian company Tata Steel
:14:51. > :14:52.announced it's to postpone plans to sell some of its UK operations,
:14:53. > :14:57.including the Port Talbot plant. The firm had been considering
:14:58. > :15:00.several bids for its British assets but instead it's to seek
:15:01. > :15:02.a partnership with a From Port Talbot, our industry
:15:03. > :15:18.correspondent John Moylan reports. When Tata announced its intention to
:15:19. > :15:22.sell its UK steel business in March, it sent shock waves through the
:15:23. > :15:28.industry. Today, that sale appeared to have gone up in smoke, as Tata
:15:29. > :15:30.confirmed it was in talks to combine its European steel interests with
:15:31. > :15:37.those of one of the biggest conglomerates in Europe. It is a
:15:38. > :15:41.German powerhouse with 600 and businesses worldwide. It owns the
:15:42. > :15:46.biggest steel plant in Europe and its steel activities employ 27,000
:15:47. > :15:52.workers. But how does the UK steel industry fit into the plan? Today,
:15:53. > :15:58.the Business Secretary was in Mumbai to meet Tata's chief executive. I am
:15:59. > :16:02.confident that Tata is doing all it can, we are providing all the
:16:03. > :16:07.support we can, and I am in courage by the news that they are talking to
:16:08. > :16:11.a partner and thinking about forming this joint venture. Because having
:16:12. > :16:16.another option is just the kind of news we need. But in Port Talbot,
:16:17. > :16:22.today's news did nothing to reassure the 5000 workers. They want to know
:16:23. > :16:27.what to make of that. I do know what to make of that. It creates
:16:28. > :16:30.uncertainty, prolongs the agony of the last few months. They have been
:16:31. > :16:33.told one minute they are not wanted, the next minute that they are
:16:34. > :16:37.wanted, but they are bringing another partner into the scenario.
:16:38. > :16:43.It is an uncertain situation that we now face. Ironically, the prospects
:16:44. > :16:50.for steel making here in the UK have been improving. The price of steel
:16:51. > :16:53.on global markets has been rising, and the weakening pound is also
:16:54. > :16:57.making it easier for us to sell steel abroad. Cutbacks at Port
:16:58. > :17:07.Talbot have also helped to stem losses. Demand has increased, prices
:17:08. > :17:11.have increased. And the losses have reduced. But in the longer term, the
:17:12. > :17:15.Brexit vote means we are very much uncertain about the future of our
:17:16. > :17:21.trading relationships with Europe. And that may be a challenge to Tata.
:17:22. > :17:26.Tata will go ahead with the sale of its specialist steels and pipes
:17:27. > :17:29.business, based in Hartlepool, Stocksbridge and rubber room. As for

:26:35. > :26:36.and the players have some recent
:26:37. > :26:40.interesting history. Andy Murray's wife had previously
:26:41. > :26:49.aimed some words at Berdych That was a while ago
:26:50. > :26:53.when the players were anxious All friends now, and the close
:26:54. > :26:59.quarters stuff went Murray's way. Berdych is a powerful man
:27:00. > :27:01.but Murray is no weakling. In the second set, Berdych,
:27:02. > :27:09.the 10th seed, threatened, but Murray may just be in the form
:27:10. > :27:12.of his life. Murray closed it out,

:27:37. > :27:42.to get through today. Roger Federer, age defier,
:27:43. > :27:45.was perplexed by his own Him, like a White Cliff of Dover
