The former Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak, is sentenced to life | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
in prison over the killing of protesters in last year's uprising. | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
There are mass protests in Cairo as his two sons and six senior | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
security officials are acquitted. A British aid worker and three of her | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
colleagues kidnapped in Afghanistan are rescued in a pre-dawn raid by | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
British and American special forces. Gun salutes across the country at | :00:35. | :00:43. | |

the festivities with a day at the Good evening to you. The former | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak, has been sentenced to life in | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
prison over the killing proof testers during the uprising that | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
forced him from power last year. The 84-year-old remained silent as | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
the verdict was read, but tens of thousands of Egyptians are now | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
gathered in Tahrir Square in central care owe to protest | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
following the acquittal of the former President's two sons and six | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
senior officials. Rupert Wingfield- Hayes reports. Today, all of Egypt | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
has been waiting for and the one many here thought would never come. | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
The man who ruled over this country for 30 years is wheeled into court | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
to hear his fate. Outside the families of some of those killed in | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
last year's protests wait for news. Hoping for justice, but fearful of | :01:55. | :02:05. | |
:02:05. | :02:07. | ||
disappointment. As the judge begins to read the verdict, Mubarak sits | :02:07. | :02:17. | |
grim faced behind his dark glasses. Beside him in the cage are his sons. | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
The court has decreed nrbgts presence of all the accused, to | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
punish Muhmmad Hosni El Sayyid Mubarak with life imprisonment for | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
the charges leveled against him of committing pre-mediated crimes. | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
can see, they have just heard the news, Mubarak has been given a life | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
sentence. Here outside the court is jubilation from the families of the | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
people who were killed in last year's protests. Do you feel now | :02:48. | :02:58. | |
:02:58. | :03:00. | ||
you have justice for your son? I have a... He slept. Rest. He's | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
very happy. Inside the court house there is a dramatic change of mood. | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
Mubarak's two sons have been found not guilty. The lawyers and | :03:12. | :03:21. | |
families of their protesters react with outrage. Outside the court the | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
mood has changed too. Some of the young men now try to storm the | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
police lines. TRANSLATION: Mubarak, his sons, we | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
will kill them, I swear. I'm saying this is a message to the military | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
council and the dog Mubarak. the people here, who lost children | :03:39. | :03:47. | |
in the protests, only death for Mubarak and his sons will be enough. | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
This afternoon, the 84-year-old, ex-president, was driven off to | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
start a 25 year prison sentence. For many Egyptians, justice has | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
been done. As we said, thousands of people have been gathering in | :04:01. | :04:09. | |
Tahrir Square. Rupert is there for us now with more. Rupert. We have | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
seen thousands and thousands of people in the square behind me this | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
afternoon and into this evening. There is a great deal of anger here | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
in Tahrir Square at the fact that, in particular, that the top | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
security officials, from the Mubarak regime, have been let off. | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
Have been allowed to go free after this trial. Also, many people | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
wanting to see a much tougher sentence, perhaps death sentence | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
for President Mubarak. There is a dse of electioneering going on here. | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
A lot of people out here are supporters of the Muslim | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
Brotherhood. Their presidential candidate was down here earlier. He | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
said if he was elected he will order a re-trial. The Muslim | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
Brotherhood wants to use this verdict today to drum up support | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
for its candidate in the presidential election, which is | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
just two weeks' away. Thank you. A British aid worker, freed after | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
being taken hostage in Afghanistan, has thanked all of those involved | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
in her rescue. Helen Johnston, and three colleagues, who work for a | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
Swiss charity, were freed in a pre- dawn raid. They had been held | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
captive for 12 days. Five kidnappers were killed in the | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
rescue by American and British forces in Badakhshan province. This | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
report from Quentin Sommerville. After 12 days in captivity, Helen | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
Johnston returns to Kabul and freedom. The British deputy | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
ambassador welcomed her back. The medical worker was kidnapped in | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
eastern Afghanistan last monthment she had been working for a Swiss | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
charity, Medair, in alleviating malnutrition in this poor and | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
remote part of the country. Also freed were Kenyan medic, Moragwa | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
Oirere, and two Afghan colleagues. David Cameron personally authorised | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
the rescue mission. All five kidnappers were killed. I think the | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
most important message is to terrorists around the world. They | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
should know, if they take British citizens as hostage, we do not pay | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
ransoms. We do not trade prisoners. They can expect a swift and brutal | :06:09. | :06:19. | |
:06:19. | :06:26. | ||
end. The Johnston family said in a Badakhshan, in the east of the | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
country, is hostile terrain. The kidnappers were armed to the teeth. | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
They demanded �7 million ransom, and that all foreign aid workers | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
leave the province. British troops marched in, undercover of darkness. | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
They had to cover the ground rapidly. They had to get on to the | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
target undiscovered. The terrain was incredibly difficult terrain. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
Very rocky, with scrub, in a deep gully. It was about the most | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
testing target you could imagine. Military commanders here in Kabul | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
knew it was a risk operation. Previous attempts to release | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
British hostages had ended in failure. A contractor in Nigeria | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
was killed by his captors before British special force cos reach him. | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
Here in Afghanistan, Linda Norgrove died when her rescue attempt went | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
wrong. The threat to the workers was so great and ind creasing it | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
was thought there was little aterntive but to go-ahead with the | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
operation. Her kidnappers had threatened to start killing, | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
triggering the rescue operation. Helen Johnston is being cared for | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
now at the British Embassy. A British soldier has been killed in | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
southern Afghanistan. The serviceman, serving with 1st | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
Battalion, The Royal Welsh, was part of a foot patrol that came | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
under attack from small arms fire in the Nahr-e-Saraj district of | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
Helmand province. His family have been informed. In Lebanon, at least | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
seven people have been killed in Tripoli, in clashes linked to | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
unrest across the boreder in Syria. Supporters and opponents of | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
President Bashar al-Assad clashed with rocket-propelled grenades on | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
Saturday evening. Tension in the northern port city has mounted | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
since Syria's uprising began. Four days of celebrations are officially | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
underway to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Gun salutes echoed | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
across London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. The Queen attended | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
Derby Day at Epsom, one of the highlights of the racing calendar. | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Nicholas Witchell watched as Her Majesty presented the winning | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
prizes in the renamed Diamond Jubilee Coronation Cup A Derby Day | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
with a difference. An event which is always one of the favourite | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
moments of the Queen's year, acting this year as the launch pad for the | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
Diamond Jubilee weekend. She was driven down the course from | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
Tattenham Corner, a journey she's made in virtually every one of the | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
60 years of her reign. This was Derby Day in 1953. It was a couple | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
of days after the core nation. It was also the year that the Queen | :09:02. | :09:11. | |
came closest to owning a Derby winner. Her horse finished second. | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
Now, in the Diamond Jubilee year of her reign, the crowds were there to | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
show their gratitude. She just brings so much into our country, I | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
say. A time to enjoy and celebrate being British. Dress code for the | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
Derby is a matter for the individual. In the Royal enclosure | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
it's formal. For sopranos singing the National Anthem it's probably | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
rather more relaxed. The Queen went off to look at the horses. Her | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
interest in blood stock needs no underlining here. The Derby gives | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
her the chance to inspect some of the finest. So to the big race | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
itself. This year, with a red hot favourite, Camelot. As they came | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
into the final furlongs of the Derby, it was that favourite who | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
came storming through. COMMENTATOR: Camelot takes the lead | :10:05. | :10:13. | |
from Astrology. He starts to pull away. The first father/son trainer | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
jockey combination to win the Derby. A bad day for the bookies, a | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
thrilling start to the Jubilee. So the Derby has been run and the | :10:22. | :10:31. | |
Diamond Jubilee weekend is underway. Ahead, three more days of Jubilee | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
celebrations. Well, the highlight, I guess, for many will be the 1,000 | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
boat flotilla on the River Thames. Despite the damp weather, thousands | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
of spectators are expected. Crews are putting the finishing touches | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
to their vessels. This was the moment that marked the anniversary | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
of the Queen's core nation. A 41- gun Royal Salute at the Tower of | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
London which coincided with gun salutes fired from official points | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
from around the country. On the water below, boats taking part in | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
the pageant had been putting the final touches to their vessels | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
before heading off ready for the start of tomorrow's flotilla. | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
Specialist police have been carrying out searches of London's | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
bridges with no modern precedent for such a huge occasion on the | :11:19. | :11:26. | |
river, security is a challenging task. You can sense the interest | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
and excitement building here at the Thames. Nothing on the scale of | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
tomorrow's pageant has been seen for 350 years. The sheer number of | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
vessels and people taking part. The Thames will become a floating stage | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
and a sight to behold. Some of the boats which haven't been able to | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
join the flotilla are moored in St Katherine's Dock where people have | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
been getting into the festive spirit. Some were so keen to be | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
here that they reserved well in advance. I can't wait. We booked | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
this over a year ago. We sailed down over the last three days. The | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
whole place is buzzing. We booked the mooring two years ago. We have | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
come from Norwich. We came down on Thursday. Over a period of three | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
days. They have been getting into the Jubilee mood in Perth, which is | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
hosting one of the biggest celebrations in Scotland. They | :12:23. | :12:31. | |
began this morning with a parade of 1,000 pipers. In Wales, soldiers | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
marched from Cardiff Castle through the city. There was a 21-gun salute | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
at Hillsborough Fort in Northern Ireland. While many parts of the | :12:44. | :12:54. | |
:12:54. | :12:56. | ||
country will be celebrating all eyes will be on the Thames tomorrow. | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
Time for the sport with Karthi Gnanasegaram at the BBC Sports | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
Centre. Thank you very much. It is two wins outs of two at the start | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
of Roy Hodgson's reign as England manager. His is side completed | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
their preparation force the 2012 European Championship with victory | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
over Belgium. With nine days to go before their first game of the | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
tournament against France in Donetsk, England have yet more | :13:18. | :13:27. | |
injury concerns. Bell begans are famous for their love of chips. | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
Their football team is meant to be tasting as well. For England they | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
had to win, but not at any cost. Roy Hodgson couldn't afford for | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
England's midfield to be holed further by injury. England | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
certainly stuttered at the start. Cahill was fouled by Hart was slow. | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
Cahill leaving for an X-ray on his jaw. At last, a moment of urgency. | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
Danny Welbeck combining with Gerard to steal the ball. This time, an an | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
Englishman showing the Belgians how to chip. Welbeck finishing with | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
relish. In the second-half, England reverted to the old sin of | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
sloppiness, giving the ball away again and again, and again. Belgium | :14:19. | :14:29. | |
:14:29. | :14:30. | ||
couldn't capitalise. The right back came closest. England were sparking | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
more upfront. Walsh -- Walcott and Defoe pinged the post at the other | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
end. France will be similar to tonight. A tough test for us. I | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
think a performance like tonight will be needed if not a little bit | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
better. Roy Hodgson is a month into the job. The upside that he has | :14:46. | :14:55. | |
secured two wins in two games. There are familiar frailties to | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
England. The euros begin in nine days' time. An inexperienced | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
Northern Ireland suffered a 6-0 thrashing from a full-strength | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
Netherlands side. The pick of the six coming from Wesley Sneijder. | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
There were two goals each for Robin Van Persie and Ibrahim Afellai with | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
Ron Vlaar completing the drubbing. Andy Murray booked his place in the | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
last 16 of the French Open. With a straight-sets victory over Santiago | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
Giraldo. Murray had recovered from his back spasm problem to cruise | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
past the world No 50. He faces Richard Gasquet next. Aston Villa | :15:36. | :15:39. |
