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. | |

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. | |
