Spain says its bail out deal will help save the euro. The 100 billion

:00:14.:00:19.

euro package to shore up banks is hailed as a victory for all of

:00:19.:00:24.

Europe. As the clear-up continues in Wales, an entire village is

:00:24.:00:28.

evacuated after water escapes from a reservoir. New guidelines for

:00:28.:00:32.

judges to limit the use of the Human Rights Act by use by foreign

:00:32.:00:35.

criminals. The Olympic Torch reaches Britain's most northerly

:00:35.:00:45.
:00:45.:00:57.

Good evening. Spain's Prime Minister has hailed the eurozone's

:00:57.:01:02.

big financial rescue packaged for embattled Spanish banks as good for

:01:02.:01:07.

Europe and for the survival of the single currency. Roy Roy Roy was

:01:07.:01:13.

speaking for the first time since the loan was agreed last night.

:01:13.:01:17.

There will be some anxiety ahead of the financial markets opening

:01:17.:01:21.

tomorrow and questions over whether this can be a long-term solution.

:01:21.:01:26.

From Madrid our Europe editor sent this report.

:01:26.:01:30.

The Spanish were packing their squares tonight in huge numbers

:01:30.:01:34.

watching football. There is a sense of relief in the country - a hope

:01:34.:01:38.

that the crisis in their banks has eased after yesterday's massive

:01:38.:01:45.

rescue. The Spanish Prime Minister, under

:01:45.:01:49.

criticism for staying silent yesterday, made his first comments

:01:49.:01:54.

today. He said the lifeline of up to 100 billion euros was a victory

:01:54.:01:58.

for his nation and for Europe. TRANSLATION: Yesterday, the

:01:58.:02:04.

credibility of the euro won. Yesterday, the solidity of a

:02:04.:02:09.

financial sector won. The Prime Minister said that if

:02:09.:02:12.

they hadn't taken action the risk was that Spain itself would have

:02:12.:02:17.

needed a bail out. Some European officials are

:02:17.:02:21.

claiming that Spain's banks no longer threaten the stability of

:02:21.:02:25.

the eurozone. Spain itself is divided. Some feel humiliated,

:02:25.:02:31.

others believe the bail out was necessary. "I think it is bad

:02:32.:02:39.

news," said this woman. "it's not clear how many banks will need to

:02:39.:02:45.

be rescued. I fear there is a smokescreen." "I believe this will

:02:45.:02:50.

help to lend to families and to businesses." Even the Spanish Prime

:02:50.:02:54.

Minister said the country still faced a bad year. In recession,

:02:54.:02:58.

unemployment rising, house prices falling. It is easy to find

:02:58.:03:02.

evidence of the collapsed property market, like here, which led to so

:03:02.:03:08.

many bad loans for the banks. Now the rescue may ease the pressure on

:03:08.:03:13.

the banks. The big pressure from Spain is, where will growth come

:03:13.:03:16.

from? The question is whether the Government will have the bravery to

:03:16.:03:22.

say this takes care of one of the two issues and does not address

:03:22.:03:26.

growth and the budget deficit. European officials hope this bank

:03:26.:03:32.

deal will calm turbulence in the markets. Others say it has just

:03:32.:03:35.

brought time. Elsewhere in Europe, many believe this crisis remains

:03:35.:03:44.

dangerously unresolved. Our deputy political editor, James

:03:44.:03:48.

Landale, is in Westminster for us. Will British politicians think this

:03:48.:03:53.

is the kind of move to defuse the crisis over the euro? I think they

:03:53.:03:57.

view this as necessary, but by no means sufficient. That is why a

:03:57.:04:01.

succession of ministers have been out and about saying the eurozone

:04:01.:04:06.

and Germany need to do more to integrate their economies.

:04:06.:04:09.

Something they hope will secure the future of the single currency. That

:04:09.:04:13.

is why too George Osborne has been out and about today, in the

:04:13.:04:18.

newspapers saying not only is the crisis in the eurozone killing off

:04:18.:04:22.

- to use his phrase - recovery in the UK. It could condemn Europe to

:04:22.:04:26.

a decade of low growth if urgent action is not taken. That has been

:04:26.:04:30.

challenged by left and right. Labour saying you cannot blame the

:04:30.:04:33.

eurozone. They say there is no growth because the Chancellor is

:04:33.:04:37.

cutting too far, too fast. On the other side some Conservatives have

:04:37.:04:41.

said you cannot blame Europe, there is no growth because the Chancellor

:04:41.:04:45.

is not cutting taxes enough. The bottom line is the Government is

:04:45.:04:48.

trying to be more robust in defence of its economic policies in the

:04:48.:04:51.

context of the crisis. The Chancellor, for example, later this

:04:51.:04:57.

week will outline his latest banking reforms. Other ministers

:04:57.:05:01.

will make announcements on immigration, education and things

:05:01.:05:06.

like that. The only problem - the Leveson Inquiry into the media

:05:06.:05:12.

resumes tomorrow. And guess who is the first person - one of the first

:05:12.:05:18.

people giving evidence tomorrow - yes, George Osborne. Thank you. A

:05:18.:05:21.

major clean-up operation is under way in Wales, as hundreds of people

:05:21.:05:29.

return home following yesterday's floods. Earlier today an entire

:05:29.:05:35.

village was evabg watted after a dam was -- evacuated after a dam

:05:35.:05:40.

was breached. All day a threat hung over this

:05:40.:05:45.

village. The reservoir in the hills that could have burst. The people

:05:45.:05:52.

of pen nel were evacuated as a -- Pennal were evacuated as a

:05:52.:05:56.

precaution. A police officer was at the door saying the veil laidge is

:05:56.:06:01.

being evacuated, you need to collect -- village is being

:06:01.:06:05.

evacuated, you need to collect your things. They did it nicely. They

:06:05.:06:12.

didn't say, "you must go." Over in Aberystwyth they are reeling from

:06:12.:06:16.

Friday night's downpour. Floors, furniture, all ripped out and

:06:16.:06:20.

ruined. It just came in through the front door, in through the back

:06:20.:06:25.

door. It was just so quick. I don't know where it came from. It just

:06:25.:06:29.

seemed to be like a river straight through the house. And this is what

:06:29.:06:34.

caused it - five feet of water flowing through fields and houses.

:06:34.:06:37.

Rescue teams battled to get people to safety.

:06:37.:06:43.

If you want an idea of the force of the floodwater, just take a look at

:06:43.:06:47.

this enormous slab that was picked up and carried by the current,

:06:47.:06:52.

deposited on top of a bin. Others have left huge holes exposed. And

:06:52.:06:58.

this is what it's like inside the caravans. It's far, far worse than

:06:58.:07:04.

I thought it was. Tracey left as the rain came on Friday. Coming

:07:04.:07:11.

back was hard. It's all ruined. This is my family's holidays, you

:07:11.:07:17.

know. We've some wonderful memories up here. To come up and see it like

:07:17.:07:24.

this, it's frightening. There was, at least, some relief

:07:24.:07:29.

for the residents of Pennal. Tonight, people were allowed to

:07:29.:07:35.

return after a controlled release at the reservoir. Respite, at last,

:07:35.:07:40.

after an agonising weekend. The Foreign Secretary, William

:07:40.:07:44.

Hague, has likened the violence in Syria to Bosnia during the 1990s.

:07:44.:07:49.

He said the country is on the edge of large-scale sectarian murder.

:07:49.:07:52.

His comments came amid fresh reports of shelling in the city of

:07:52.:07:57.

Homs in the centre of the country. Mr Hague called on Russia to use

:07:57.:08:00.

influence on the Syrian Government to help bring an end to the

:08:00.:08:04.

conflict. Judges could be given new guidelines to ensure that fewer

:08:04.:08:09.

foreign criminals and illegal immigrants avoid deportation due to

:08:10.:08:13.

human rights legislation. The Home Secretary wants MPs to approve

:08:13.:08:17.

tighter rules to restrict claims by foreign nationals that their right

:08:17.:08:23.

to a family life would be breached if they were removed from the UK.

:08:23.:08:27.

Amy Houston was killed nine years ago when she was hit by a car

:08:27.:08:31.

driven by a failed asylum seeker. Aso Mohammed Ibrahim spent four

:08:31.:08:36.

months in jail, but he was allowed to stay in this country because he

:08:36.:08:40.

had four children. The court decided deporting him would be a

:08:40.:08:45.

breach of his rights to a family life. Amy's father says the human

:08:45.:08:50.

rights laws are unfair. My daughter didn't harm anybody. Why is Mr

:08:50.:08:54.

Ibrahim's family life put before my right to a family life? The Human

:08:54.:08:58.

Rights Act say we are all entitled to fair and equal treatment. Where

:08:58.:09:02.

is my fair and equal treatment? Today the Home Secretary said she

:09:02.:09:07.

would ask Parliament to set out new guidelines for judges, so that

:09:07.:09:10.

fewer foreign criminals escape deportation.

:09:10.:09:14.

I would expect that judges will look at what Parliament will say

:09:14.:09:18.

and that they will follow, take into account, what Parliament has

:09:18.:09:22.

said. If they don't, then we'll have to look at other measures.

:09:22.:09:25.

That could include primary legislation. Theresa May is telling

:09:25.:09:28.

the judges to get tough when it comes to deporting foreign

:09:28.:09:32.

criminals. It's a message that will no doubt go down well on the Tory

:09:32.:09:36.

backbenches. The courts are likely to argue that the law and the way

:09:37.:09:40.

it is applied is fair, and there's no reason for politicians to get

:09:40.:09:45.

involved. The statement that Theresa May made

:09:45.:09:49.

this morning, that judges are expected to follow her guidance, is,

:09:49.:09:54.

to my mind, a valeed threat, which is something I concerned about. It

:09:54.:10:00.

will cause judges to act in a way that undermines their impartiality

:10:00.:10:04.

and independence. Tomorrow the Home Secretary will tell MPs that the

:10:04.:10:08.

right to a family life should not be absolute. Her plans could put

:10:08.:10:13.

Parliament on a collision course with the judges.

:10:13.:10:18.

Health off firbls in Scotland say there's been a new confirmed case

:10:18.:10:20.

of legionnaires' disease in Edinburgh. It takes the number of

:10:20.:10:25.

cases to 37. The number of suspected cases has risen by one,

:10:25.:10:29.

to 45. One person has died as a result of

:10:29.:10:34.

the Edinburgh outbreak. 15 remain in Intensive Care.

:10:34.:10:39.

Children should be learning poetry by heart from five, according to

:10:39.:10:44.

Michael Gove. His proposal is part of a major overhaul of the National

:10:44.:10:48.

Curriculum of schools in England, due to be unveiled in the coming

:10:48.:10:56.

week. It will include plans to make learning language compulsory from

:10:56.:11:00.

seven. Prince Philip has been celebrating his 91st birthday

:11:00.:11:05.

privately. He has been discharged from hospital after spending five

:11:05.:11:10.

days recover from a bladder infection. Sport now. For a full

:11:10.:11:14.

round-up of the day's may action here's Lizzie Greenwood Hughes at

:11:14.:11:19.

the BBC's sport centre. Good evening. There was no

:11:19.:11:23.

fairytale beginning to Euro 2012 por if Republic of Ireland. In

:11:23.:11:31.

Group C they lost 3-1 to Croatia. Earlier Spain drew 1-1 with Italy.

:11:31.:11:36.

They began with such hope. For the first time in 24 years, Ireland

:11:36.:11:41.

were at the euros, their fans in full cry. Within two-and-a-half

:11:41.:11:46.

minutes, they were silenced. Croatia were put in front. For

:11:46.:11:56.
:11:56.:11:57.

Ireland - a nightmare start N a flash, the mood was transformed.

:11:57.:12:03.

The celebrations didn't last. Croat that regained the lead and then

:12:03.:12:08.

extended it after the break, in the cruelest style, by the back of the

:12:08.:12:13.

keeper's head. So much for the luck of the Irish! It didn't improve.

:12:13.:12:18.

Robbie Kean should have had a penalty, but didn't. It summed up

:12:18.:12:22.

Ireland's night, disappointment in defeat. Spain kicked off their

:12:22.:12:25.

defence against an Italy team, complete with Mario Balotelli. He

:12:25.:12:30.

could have been their hero, but instead was more pantomime villain.

:12:30.:12:35.

A cry of "look behind you" would have come in handy. Balotelli was

:12:35.:12:40.

substituted to his obvious delight. It worked though. His replacement

:12:40.:12:46.

proved rather more decisive. With an gone, Italy were ahead. Not for

:12:46.:12:51.

long, as Spain's passing finally unlocked their opponents and

:12:52.:12:59.

Fabrice fired home an equaliser. From there, Spain might have won it.

:12:59.:13:05.

A draw was about right. England begin their fam paing

:13:06.:13:10.

tomorrow against France in the tea -- campaign tomorrow against France

:13:10.:13:19.

in the tea time kick-off. The Cold War might be over, but the

:13:19.:13:24.

Ukraineian city of Donetsk has been painted as a foreboding place to

:13:24.:13:29.

play football. This coal mining centre is the most eastern outpost

:13:29.:13:32.

of Euro 2012. For weeks concerns have been mounting that England

:13:32.:13:36.

fans might receive a frossy reception here.

:13:36.:13:42.

We're on the bike. We're having a laugh! For the unusually small

:13:42.:13:46.

group of supporters who have made the journey, the welcome has been

:13:46.:13:52.

warm. Very warm. People are friendly. The beer is

:13:52.:13:56.

good. At one point, I wasn't going to come out. I thought I would see

:13:56.:14:01.

what's going on. I am glad I did. Really glad I did.... At the

:14:01.:14:09.

moment! England's players got their first taste of Ukraine today,

:14:09.:14:15.

transferring from their cooler Polish base to the steamer

:14:15.:14:19.

conditions. This England team are in the position of going into the

:14:19.:14:23.

start of a major tournament under very little pressure. Having had so

:14:23.:14:27.

little time to prepare together, no-one really knows how they will

:14:27.:14:32.

perform. No-one knows that better than the

:14:32.:14:35.

new manager. Questions about England's long wait for success are

:14:35.:14:40.

still in the air. We start off amongst the teams with

:14:40.:14:44.

a chance to show how good, as a football nation, we are, and how

:14:44.:14:50.

good as a football team we are. I can assure you French and anyone

:14:50.:14:56.

else we play against we will do our best. That task has not been made

:14:56.:15:01.

easier by the absence of Wayne Rooney. He is suspended for the

:15:01.:15:05.

first two games. The captain hopes the tournament will not be over by

:15:05.:15:10.

the time he returns. Any team in the world would miss Wayne Rooney.

:15:10.:15:15.

He is a world-class player. He has been one of the best this season.

:15:15.:15:19.

We hope we can be in with a good chance of qualifying when he comes

:15:19.:15:29.

back in the third game. He can be As far as big championships go, the

:15:29.:15:33.

build-up for England has been a pretty laid-back affair. It rarely

:15:33.:15:35.

stays that way. Highlights of today's Canadian

:15:35.:15:39.

Grand Prix follow this programme on BBC One, so if you don't want to

:15:39.:15:44.

know the result, you need to leave the room now. And this season's

:15:44.:15:47.

trend of each Grand Prix being won by a different driver continued

:15:47.:15:50.

this weekend with Maclaren's Lewis Hamilton triumphing in Montreal.

:15:50.:15:54.

The Briton now leads the drivers' standings after seven races.

:15:54.:15:58.

We'll have to wait an extra day to find out of whether it'll be Rafael

:15:58.:16:01.

Nadal or Novak Djokovic making the record books at Roland Garros this

:16:01.:16:04.

year, after the French Open final was forced to be postponed in the

:16:04.:16:07.

fourth set due to rain. Nadal won the opening sets with ease and

:16:07.:16:17.
:16:17.:16:19.

looked on course for his seventh title at Roland Garros. But world

:16:19.:16:22.

number one, Djokovic, came back to take the third 6-2, and was leading

:16:22.:16:25.

2-1 in the fourth when the players were forced off the court.

:16:25.:16:28.

A magnificent batting display by the West Indies tail-enders has all

:16:28.:16:31.

but ended England's chances of a series whitewash. They started the

:16:31.:16:34.

fourth day at Edgbaston looking comfortably ahead with the tourists

:16:34.:16:38.

on 280-8 in their first innings. But fast bowler Tino Best's record-

:16:38.:16:42.

breaking 95 run total - the highest ever test score for a number 11 -

:16:42.:16:48.

helped his team to 426 all out. Best then went on to take two

:16:48.:16:51.

wickets, including that of the England captain, Andrew Strauss. A

:16:51.:16:53.

fourth-wicket century partnership between Kevin Pietersen and Ian

:16:53.:16:57.

Bell helped England to a total of 221-5 at the close, with the match

:16:57.:17:03.

heading for a draw. And the fastest man in the world

:17:03.:17:06.

and three-time Olympic champion, Usain Bolt, has been involved in a

:17:06.:17:09.

minor car crash. The Jamaican sprinter had returned to his home

:17:09.:17:12.

capital, Kingston, after Thursday's Diamond League victory in Oslo and

:17:12.:17:15.

was on his way back from a party when the accident happened in the

:17:15.:17:20.

early hours of this morning. Bolt is said to be unhurt and is resting

:17:20.:17:27.

at home. The Olympic Flame reached the most

:17:27.:17:30.

northerly part of the UK today when it visited the Shetland Isles. The

:17:30.:17:33.

torch travelled by land, boat and plane as it reached the islands,

:17:33.:17:36.

stopping off in Orkney on its way. Our Scotland correspondent, Lorna

:17:36.:17:46.
:17:46.:17:47.

Gordon, is in Lerwick. And that is one way you get a sense of just how

:17:47.:17:53.

far north Shetland is. At this time of year the nights are very short

:17:53.:17:59.

and the days are very long. These islands are the first and off --

:17:59.:18:03.

furthest north that the flame will travel in its journey to the

:18:03.:18:07.

Olympics. Arriving by air in the northern isles, the Olympic torch,

:18:07.:18:12.

on a journey to the outermost reaches of Britain. The flame will

:18:12.:18:17.

travel within 10 miles of almost all of the country's population.

:18:17.:18:21.

Coming to Orkney is an important part of that. It is brilliant. Lots

:18:21.:18:29.

of people. It is great for Orkney. I would love to do it again. Maybe

:18:29.:18:35.

one day I will get to run with it. Then Shetland. Closer to the Arctic

:18:35.:18:41.

Circle than to London. Oil money has allowed these islands to invest

:18:41.:18:45.

heavily in sports. The Olympic ideal of taking part, already

:18:45.:18:50.

popular here. This is amazing. It is getting everybody into the

:18:50.:18:53.

spirit of Olympics and thinking more about the Sports involve.

:18:53.:18:58.

Sport is a big deal here already? It is a big deal. Just about every

:18:58.:19:07.

child in Shetland participates in at least one sport. Shetland had so

:19:07.:19:12.

Nordic heritage and holds a Viking Festival of Fire in the depths of

:19:12.:19:17.

winter. People here were just as enthusiastic for the summer flame.

:19:17.:19:22.

After travelling on roads and biplane, the torch was held a laugh

:19:22.:19:26.

and rode past an Iron Age fortification, predating the

:19:27.:19:32.

ancient Olympics themselves -- held aloft. As the flame was passed on,

:19:41.:19:44.

islands are as far north as the Olympic flame will get. It is a

:19:44.:19:49.

very distinctive culture but he will come has been just as friendly.

:19:49.:19:55.

So, from Land's End to John o'Groats, the flame has now

:19:55.:20:02.

travelled the length of the British mainland's and the islands belong.
