He came so close, but it was not enough. Andy Murray misses out on

:00:10.:00:20.
:00:20.:00:22.

The final point which secured another title for Roger Federer in

:00:22.:00:26.

a thrilling four set match. The 25- year-old, the first British man to

:00:26.:00:32.

reach the singles final for 74 years, was overcome with emotion.

:00:32.:00:36.

Everybody always talks about the pressure of playing at Wimbledon,

:00:36.:00:42.

how tough it is. But... It is not the people watching, they make it

:00:42.:00:47.

so much easier to play. The support has been... Been incredible. Thank

:00:47.:00:52.

you. It all worked out. I got great momentum, great confidence and it

:00:53.:00:55.

all came together. It is a magical moment for me.

:00:55.:01:00.

We will have the full details on that extraordinary match. Also:

:01:00.:01:06.

Battle lines drawn. The Business Secretary accuses banks of throttle

:01:06.:01:10.

in the recovery of British Industry. A critical vote on if there should

:01:10.:01:14.

be women bishops in the Church of England is likely to be put on hold.

:01:14.:01:18.

And Webber shines at Silverstone, winning a drama filled British

:01:18.:01:28.
:01:28.:01:36.

Hello, good evening. It was the match of his life and he said he

:01:36.:01:39.

would give it his all. But it wasn't quite enough for Andy Murray.

:01:39.:01:42.

He had hoped to become the first Briton to win the Wimbledon men's

:01:42.:01:48.

singles title in 76 years. Instead, he was beaten by Roger Federer, who

:01:48.:01:52.

has won Wimbledon seven times now. Afterwards, a clearly emotional

:01:52.:01:59.

Murray thanked fans for the incredible support he received.

:01:59.:02:04.

Andy Murray had already accomplished the improbable. Now,

:02:04.:02:08.

on to the barely plausible. Beat the man widely seen as the greatest

:02:08.:02:16.

player the sport has ever known. At the start, it seemed beguilingly

:02:16.:02:25.

easy. Roger Federer, normally immaculate, suddenly sloppy. Then,

:02:25.:02:30.

an exchange of breaks. It was the Swiss monarch who began to send

:02:30.:02:36.

Murray scuttling around the court. But as the set wound towards an

:02:36.:02:46.
:02:46.:02:50.

hour's duration, the fearsome Murray was serving for the set. It

:02:50.:02:55.

would be his first in four Grand Slam finals. How good did that

:02:55.:03:00.

feel? In the second set, Murray had four break points. He took none of

:03:00.:03:07.

them. At set point, Federer, the man who has won more Grand Slams

:03:07.:03:15.

than any other, was not so wasteful. You're joking me?! Now, the body

:03:15.:03:21.

language changed. Perhaps it was not a bad moment for the climate to

:03:21.:03:24.

change as well. Better for the British number one to be swept off

:03:24.:03:29.

the court, not by his opponent, only by the ground staff. Closing

:03:29.:03:34.

the roof had changed the atmosphere. Federer became more aggressive.

:03:34.:03:38.

Midway through the third set, he began playing with his foot on

:03:38.:03:45.

Murray's neck. Time and again, in a service game which lasted 18

:03:45.:03:55.

bruising minutes, Murray appeared to be slipping. Federer, now 2-1 up.

:03:55.:04:03.

And he would not let up. A man who can conjure beauty out of cruelty.

:04:03.:04:07.

That's just gorgeous. On the manicured lawn of Centre Court,

:04:07.:04:16.

they opened a chasm of class. Break to Federer. Andy Murray's

:04:16.:04:21.

remarkable journey was about to run out of road. In the final game, he

:04:21.:04:31.
:04:31.:04:44.

The victor could stretch. The loser could only stare. Rarely has a

:04:45.:04:48.

runners-up trophy been more painfully received. For Roger

:04:48.:04:54.

Federer, his 7th Wimbledon, his 17th Grand Slam. And then time to

:04:54.:04:58.

lay to rest the myth that Andy Murray somehow doesn't care. Right,

:04:58.:05:07.

I am going to try this and it is not going to be easy... OK. Firstly

:05:07.:05:16.

I would like to congratulate Roger. Everybody always talks about the

:05:16.:05:22.

pressure of playing at Wimbledon, how tough it is. But it's not the

:05:22.:05:26.

people watching. They make it so much easier to play. The support

:05:26.:05:35.

has been... Been incredible. Thank you. He has done so well. He will

:05:35.:05:39.

at least when one Grand Slam. This is what I hope for Andy. I could

:05:39.:05:46.

not be more happy. It feels great being back here, as the winner. It

:05:46.:05:50.

feels so familiar. I have missed playing in the finals. Yes, it's a

:05:50.:05:55.

great moment. Perhaps that is not quite the roar that we might have

:05:55.:06:00.

heard had it been Andy Murray. But it is a shout of acclaim and

:06:00.:06:05.

respect for Roger Federer. Even his rivals call him the greatest. It

:06:05.:06:10.

was not the ending that most locals craved. But a story line that has

:06:10.:06:19.

engaged as to the end? Of that we Our sports editor David Bond is at

:06:19.:06:23.

Wimbledon. Where does this leave Andy Murray? Although he did not

:06:23.:06:28.

lay to rest that ghost of 1936, I do think he made a breakthrough of

:06:28.:06:32.

another sort. That a very raw, emotional response at the end of

:06:32.:06:36.

the final, I think, could change his image in the mind of the

:06:36.:06:39.

British public who, up until now, have probably been a bit sceptical

:06:39.:06:46.

of him, maybe seeing him as perhaps slightly our and not liking his

:06:46.:06:50.

personality. He has achieved so much by reaching today's final, the

:06:50.:06:55.

first British man to do that since 1938. It was his 4th Grand Slam

:06:55.:07:00.

final. At 25, you have to say that his career is on the upward curve.

:07:00.:07:06.

It is his misfortune that he has to have been born in such a golden era

:07:06.:07:10.

of men's tennis. You have Rafa Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger

:07:10.:07:15.

Federer, who won his 7th Wimbledon title, equalling Pete Sampras. You

:07:15.:07:18.

have to say that we are probably watching the greatest player to

:07:18.:07:24.

have ever played the sport. What the last week, overall, has shown

:07:24.:07:28.

his Sport's unique power to bring the country together and excite the

:07:28.:07:34.

nation. To finish on a bright note in this sporting summer like no

:07:34.:07:38.

other, at least it is only three weeks until the Olympics.

:07:38.:07:41.

The Business Secretary Vince Cable has accused British banks of

:07:41.:07:45.

stifling the economy. He told the BBC today that the banks were

:07:45.:07:49.

throttling the recovery of British Industry. It comes as the Labour

:07:49.:07:55.

leader Ed Miliband called for a revolution in banking.

:07:55.:07:59.

The city. At the root of the financial crisis and now a rate

:07:59.:08:04.

fixing scandal. Rewiring the way it works is a priority for politicians.

:08:04.:08:08.

Getting the banks to lend to business is seen as a crucial route

:08:08.:08:15.

out of recession. As an exasperated Business Secretary made clear.

:08:16.:08:20.

Because of their existing culture, which is frankly anti-business,

:08:20.:08:24.

obsession with short-term trading profits, not focusing on the long

:08:24.:08:28.

term, is throttling the recovery of industry. While this debate was

:08:28.:08:33.

going on in Parliament last week, I was going around firms in the North

:08:33.:08:36.

of England, super companies that have big potential, they have got

:08:36.:08:39.

orders and they cannot get the loan from the banks. The Government is

:08:39.:08:43.

trying to turn on the lending tabs with schemes to increase liquidity.

:08:43.:08:47.

Someone with no problem accessing cash his former Barclays boss Bob

:08:47.:08:52.

Diamond. He resigned last week because of the rate fixing scandal.

:08:52.:08:55.

Vince Cable urged shareholders at the Bank to limit the multi-

:08:55.:09:01.

million-pound pay-offs that he is expected to get. Labour Lead Ed

:09:02.:09:04.

Miliband Today said there should be nothing short of a revolution in

:09:04.:09:08.

British banking. Ministers do plan to split the retail and investment

:09:08.:09:13.

arms of banks and want to increase competition on the High Street. The

:09:13.:09:16.

Vickers report was published last year. Labour says that the

:09:16.:09:20.

Government could do more. commission said, go faster on

:09:20.:09:25.

breaking up banks and having more diversity, more choice of consumers.

:09:25.:09:28.

The Government is dragging their feet. They should go faster and

:09:28.:09:33.

have more branches for more banks, more challenging banks and more new

:09:33.:09:37.

banks. Politicians are fighting to cash-in on public revulsion at the

:09:37.:09:41.

behaviour of banks. This is also a friend in the scrap between the

:09:41.:09:46.

Government and Labour for economic credibility. They don't know that

:09:46.:09:49.

deep banking industry is hugely important for the British economy.

:09:49.:09:52.

But they don't know that now it has to change.

:09:52.:09:55.

Police in Morocco have arrested a man on suspicion of murdering a

:09:55.:10:00.

family a Northamptonshire last year. He is believed to be Anxiang Du, it

:10:00.:10:03.

is this man thought to have fled the UK shortly after the deaths of

:10:03.:10:07.

the Ding family. Jeff Ding, his wife Helen and their two daughters

:10:07.:10:10.

were found stabbed to death at their home in Whitten last April.

:10:10.:10:13.

A critical vote on whether there should be women bishops in the

:10:13.:10:16.

Church of England is likely to be put on hold by the ruling General

:10:16.:10:19.

Synod. There is continuing deadlock over the issue and it is thought

:10:20.:10:29.
:10:30.:10:30.

that talks could be adjourned until Anglicans in York, united in

:10:30.:10:33.

worship but bitterly divided about their most important decision for

:10:33.:10:38.

two decades. Years of work towards women bishops could be abandoned

:10:38.:10:42.

because of disagreement over a concession to traditionalists. The

:10:42.:10:46.

Archbishop of Canterbury has already told the Synod that it

:10:46.:10:51.

faces an abyss. Today, in York Minster, he repeated the warning.

:10:51.:10:56.

We make anxious cart relations. We amass, defensively, against each

:10:57.:11:06.
:11:07.:11:08.

other. We tried desperately to find ways around it. Very often, in the

:11:08.:11:13.

history of the Christian Church, we have cut that. A last-minute

:11:13.:11:16.

concession to traditionalists gives them the right to be overseen, not

:11:16.:11:20.

just by a male bishop, but by one who shares their beliefs about the

:11:20.:11:30.
:11:30.:11:30.

ordination of women. It is designed partly like an -- fall and a hint

:11:31.:11:38.

like David, who doubt that women can become priests. We have to be

:11:38.:11:45.

quite sure that when we celebrate Holy Communion what happens is what

:11:45.:11:48.

we believe is happening, that the bread and wine become the body and

:11:48.:11:52.

blood or Jesus. Otherwise there is no point of having wholly keen

:11:52.:11:58.

union. Women now make up almost a third of the Church's clergy. Many

:11:58.:12:01.

deeply resent concessions they say would make women into second-class

:12:01.:12:08.

bishops. Rosie Harper, the vicar here, is impatient for change. But

:12:08.:12:13.

she faces a dilemma. It will be a difficult decision. On the whole, I

:12:13.:12:17.

am inclined to vote for it and at least get some women in there, even

:12:17.:12:21.

if we have to go and change. There is a third option. Supporters of

:12:21.:12:24.

women bishops might succeed in getting the debate adjourned in an

:12:24.:12:28.

effort to remove the latest concessions to traditionalists. It

:12:28.:12:33.

would mean months more angry debate. The Synod seems increasingly likely

:12:33.:12:43.
:12:43.:12:44.

to consider it the only way of The Environment Secretary, Caroline

:12:44.:12:47.

Spelman, has been meeting people affected by flooding in the South

:12:47.:12:50.

West of England. Dozens of homes were damaged when rivers in Devon

:12:50.:13:00.
:13:00.:13:02.

rose to record levels and more than a month's rain fell in 24 hours.

:13:02.:13:05.

The Environment Agency says flooding in England is now easing

:13:05.:13:15.
:13:15.:13:16.

but that 12 warnings remain in force. The Oscar-winning American

:13:16.:13:19.

film actor, Ernest Borgnine, has died at the age of 95. He became

:13:19.:13:22.

famous for his parts in Hollywood box-office successes such as "The

:13:22.:13:25.

Wild Bunch" and "The Poseidon Adventure". He received the Academy

:13:25.:13:28.

Award as Best Actor for his performance in "Marty" in 1955.

:13:28.:13:31.

Australia's Mark Webber claimed his second win of the F1 season with

:13:31.:13:37.

victory in the British Grand Prix. A sell out crowd saw Webber close

:13:37.:13:40.

the gap on Championship leader Fernando Alonso in dry conditions

:13:40.:13:43.

after two days of rain caused problems on and off the Silverstone

:13:43.:13:47.

track. Andy Swiss reports. Welcome to the high-speed world of Formula

:13:47.:13:51.

One, car parks like mud baths, comes a it's even worse. Fans were

:13:51.:13:55.

warned to expect delays and where the right footwear but this was not

:13:55.:14:00.

the kind of motoring drama they had come to see. The conditions here

:14:00.:14:04.

are appalling. We had to be pushed in rather than pushed out which we

:14:04.:14:09.

anticipate when we leave. The DIS part of the fund. The capsize it

:14:09.:14:15.

hilarious. -- it is part of the fund. The campsites look hilarious.

:14:15.:14:20.

Then out came the sun. Lewis had little started eight and needed the

:14:20.:14:26.

race of his life. He did not get it. Fernando Alonso held off Mark

:14:26.:14:31.

Webber and started to charge clear. Not everyone's start was as smooth,

:14:31.:14:39.

Britain's pour the rest are lasted just a few laps. There was some

:14:39.:14:44.

minor road rage. Hamilton delayed his pit stop so did briefly lead

:14:44.:14:48.

but Alonso went by and Hamilton went backwards. He finished beads

:14:48.:14:52.

and Jenson Button 10. There was a shocking moment where a driver

:14:52.:14:58.

clattered into his own mechanics. The race delivered an enthralling

:14:58.:15:03.

finish. Alonso against Webber and with three laps left, where this

:15:03.:15:11.

drug. -- weather struck. He held on for a dramatic win. For fans it was

:15:11.:15:18.

a thrilling conclusion to a challenging few days. We did our

:15:18.:15:22.

best in difficult conditions. We are very sorry for what happened to

:15:22.:15:27.

the fans. Not just a victory for Mark Webber but for the fans over

:15:27.:15:31.

the elements. Silverstone will have questions to answer after this. The

:15:31.:15:41.

valleys they still had a race to remember. -- but at least. Now back

:15:41.:15:46.

to the top storey. Millions watched the match across the UK and in

:15:46.:15:55.

Dunblane excitement was at fever pitch. He is a local hero and today

:15:55.:15:59.

his home town had been hoping Andy Murray could go all the way.

:15:59.:16:05.

Dunblane is where he went to school and first picked up a racket and

:16:05.:16:10.

where many of his relatives still live. We have known the family a

:16:10.:16:14.

long time and we are desperate for him to win it. The week are proud

:16:14.:16:18.

of him because he's such a local guy. Here they got used to what --

:16:18.:16:21.

watching Andy make the semis but the Wimbledon final is something

:16:21.:16:25.

special and the streets were deserted. Dunblane is when he

:16:26.:16:30.

started playing tennis. As a teenager he already aimed high.

:16:30.:16:35.

Hopefully I will be playing in Wimbledon and about four years in

:16:36.:16:43.

senior Wimbledon and junior Wimbledon in two years. He returned

:16:43.:16:48.

home after winning the US Junior Open so people he could share in

:16:48.:16:53.

his success. Dunblane's pubs were packed full of locals for much of

:16:53.:16:57.

the day. And although the tournament is finish their support

:16:57.:17:02.

remains. Very proud of him and we think he will come back next year

:17:02.:17:06.

and win. I don't care that he did not win, I just think he is

:17:06.:17:13.

brilliant. He got to that stage in Wimbledon. Come on, the Moray!

:17:13.:17:20.

brought a tear to my life. It is so emotional. Andy Murray grew up here
