Good afternoon. Bradley Wiggins is set to secure a place among | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
Britain's sporting greats today, as he prepares to become the first | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
British winner of the Tour de France in its 109-year history. | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Only an accident can prevent Wiggins clinching the title in | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
Paris this afternoon, where there is a tradition the race leader | :00:29. | :00:36. | |
isn't challenged on the final day. Live now to Paris, and our | :00:36. | :00:45. | |
correspondent Tim Franks. Thank you very much. As you can | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
probably see behind me, the great mass of fans who are coming to | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
salute Bradley Wiggins and the rest of the Tour the France riders have | :00:54. | :01:01. | |
already started coming. They are clad in their lycra, their T-shirts, | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
proclaiming Bradley Wiggins, many of them. It is a remarkable story. | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
Yesterday, we saw him cement his position by taking the time trial, | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
by post as -- by posting the fastest time of the day. That is | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
his speciality. But he has proved himself to be a rider of iron will | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
all the way through the Tour de France this year. It is the world's | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
toughest endurance test. Sport tends to lend itself to hyperbole, | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
talking about greats and history and so forth, but this really will | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
be one of the major sporting achievements by any British | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
sportsmen ever. What is even more extraordinary is that it is not | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
just going to be one British man on the podium for the first time in | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
109 years, it is going to be two. Teammate Chris Froome will also be | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
on the podium. There is also the prospect, potentially, of Mark | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
Cavendish taking the sprint stage victory here, to take him to fourth | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
in the all-time list. So, a remarkable list of achievements for | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
The Syrian army has launched a new attack on a northern district of | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
the capital, Damascus. Activists and people living in Barzeh say | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
helicopters are being used. Troops have also been deployed in other | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
areas of Damsascus. Fighting has also continued in Syria's second | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
city, Aleppo, which until a week ago had been relatively unaffected | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
President Obama is to visit Colorado today, to meet relatives | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
of some of the victims of the mass shooting at a cinema in the town of | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
Aurora. The 12 people who died included a six-year-old girl. The | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
apartment of the man believed to have carried out the attack has now | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
been cleared of booby traps. The people of Norway are | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
commemorating the day, exactly a year ago, when Anders Behring | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
Breivik killed 77 people. Many of the victims were teenagers who were | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
attending a summer camp on the island of Utoya. Richard Galpin | :03:00. | :03:10. | |
:03:10. | :03:15. | ||
This day of remembrance began with a solemn ceremony in the centre of | :03:15. | :03:25. | |
:03:25. | :03:27. | ||
Oslo. The Prime Minister and the King laid wreaths in memory of the | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
eight people who died here in the car bomb which targeted the | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
Government's headquarters. Then, a drum roll to mark a minute of | :03:38. | :03:48. | |
:03:48. | :03:49. | ||
silence. TRANSLATION: Breivik took many | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
lives with the aim of changing this country, but Norway united - he | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
lost, we won. The country's leaders went on to attend a memorial | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
service here in Oslo cathedral. This was one of many services held | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
across the country. It was a chance for everyone to reflect on the | :04:11. | :04:21. | |
:04:21. | :04:22. | ||
enormity of what happened a year ago. The car bomb in Oslo was | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
designed to kill the Prime Minister and members of his cabinet, but it | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
failed - they were not in their offices. Breivik went on to carry | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
out a second attack on the island of Utoya, where hundreds of young | :04:36. | :04:46. | |
people were at a summer camp. 67 were shot dead. Two others drowned. | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
Now, a year later, the trauma still hangs heavy over the population. | :04:53. | :04:57. |
