:00:12. > :00:15.attacks in Afghanistan reach a new milestone. The soldiers from 3rd

:00:15. > :00:21.Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment died at the hands of men in Afghan

:00:21. > :00:25.police uniform. Tributes are paid to a rising rugby

:00:25. > :00:29.star who died - with his father and brother - in a farm accident in

:00:29. > :00:32.Northern Ireland. As the Duke and Duchess of

:00:32. > :00:35.Cambridge arrive in the Solomon Islands, Palace lawyers prepare to

:00:35. > :00:39.go to court in Paris to make a criminal complaint over the topless

:00:39. > :00:42.photos. And, a jubilant return for Andy

:00:42. > :00:52.Murray as the new Grand Slam champion is welcomed home to

:00:52. > :01:02.

:01:02. > :01:08.Good evening. The BBC understands the killer of two British soldiers

:01:08. > :01:10.shot in Afghanistan lured them to his side with a fake injury. The

:01:10. > :01:13.troops, from 3rd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment, died after the

:01:13. > :01:19.Afghan man - who was wearing a police uniform - opened fire on

:01:19. > :01:22.them at a checkpoint in Helmand province. Another incident, also

:01:22. > :01:26.involving men dressed as Afghan police, killed four American

:01:26. > :01:32.soldiers. As Jonathan Beale reports from Kabul, it means more than 50

:01:32. > :01:36.coalition troops have now been killed in insider attacks this year.

:01:36. > :01:42.Two more names will now be added to this memorial that stands in

:01:42. > :01:45.Helmand. Two more members of 3 Yorks who have lost their lives

:01:45. > :01:50.trying to help secure a country far from home. Their part of

:01:50. > :01:54.Afghanistan is now the most dangerous. One in ten of all all

:01:55. > :01:59.insurgent attacks take place. The soldiers were working with members

:01:59. > :02:03.of the Afghan local police, like these. Out on a patrol one of the

:02:03. > :02:07.policemen said he was injured. The British soldiers came to help him,

:02:08. > :02:12.it was then that he opened fire. Today, in a separate attack, four

:02:12. > :02:17.American soldiers were killed by another rogue policeman. There's

:02:17. > :02:22.been a dramatic rise in so-called green-on blue killings, Afghans in

:02:22. > :02:26.kwraorpl targeting NATO soldiers. In 2007, just two NATO troops died

:02:26. > :02:33.as a result of these insider attacks.

:02:33. > :02:37.By 2011, that figure had jumped to Already this year NATO has lost 51

:02:37. > :02:46.troops, seven of them British. What's the motive for these

:02:46. > :02:51.attacks? Many others we simply don't know, because they've been

:02:51. > :02:55.killed or they escaped after they left this attack. Here at NATO

:02:55. > :02:59.headquarters, there is increasing concern about the number of insider

:02:59. > :03:04.attacks. Not just because of its impact on trust between NATO

:03:04. > :03:08.soldiers and their Afghan partners, but also its effect on support back

:03:08. > :03:14.home. Just last week the Defence

:03:14. > :03:17.Secretary raised his concerns about the so-called insider attacks, with

:03:17. > :03:24.President Hamid Karzai. Philip Hammond said he was reassured that

:03:24. > :03:30.the problem was being addressed. There's the promise of tougher

:03:30. > :03:35.vetting and better intelligence. But with 7,000 raw recruits passing

:03:35. > :03:39.out each month and that's just for the army, it is a massive challenge.

:03:39. > :03:44.Even before these latest killings, the head of the Afghan army told me

:03:44. > :03:49.he was increasingly worried about this threat to his allies. We live

:03:50. > :03:54.together, we fight together. We are partners, shoulder to shoulder. If

:03:54. > :03:59.anybody's hurting you, and somebody abuses you, of course it's

:03:59. > :04:08.embarrassing. It's been a grim 48 hours for NATO, with another two

:04:08. > :04:10.lives lost and six American planes destroyed in an you a you a an

:04:10. > :04:14.audacious attack and still the question what will happen when

:04:14. > :04:17.troops leave in two years? Jonathan joins us live now. There

:04:18. > :04:26.are also reports coming in of eight women killed in a NATO air strike

:04:26. > :04:30.in eastern Afghanistan. Yes, this was NATO air strike in the east of

:04:30. > :04:33.the country. NATO says they were targeting a group of more than 40

:04:34. > :04:39.insurgents, some of whom were killed but it also appears that

:04:39. > :04:43.women were gathering firewood on that same hillside and it seems the

:04:44. > :04:49.latest reports that nine women have been killed, eight have been

:04:49. > :04:53.injured. Now in the last hour NATO has issued a statement saying -

:04:53. > :04:57.expressing deepest regrets and sympathies over the civilians who

:04:57. > :05:01.died, or were injured. The issue is this is something that causes the

:05:01. > :05:05.greatest strain between President Hamid Karzai and NATO. In the past

:05:05. > :05:10.the President has asked for a halt to these air strikes by NATO. Of

:05:10. > :05:18.course, this will only add to the problems for NATO over what's been

:05:19. > :05:21.a difficult few days. Thank you. The Ministry of Defence

:05:22. > :05:24.has named a soldier who was killed in Afghanistan on Friday. 32-year-

:05:24. > :05:27.old Lance Corporal Duane Groom served with the Queens Company, 1st

:05:27. > :05:33.Battalion Grenadier Guards. He was killed in an explosion in Helmand

:05:33. > :05:37.province. Tributes have been paid to a rising

:05:37. > :05:40.star of Irish rugby who died in an accident on his family farm in

:05:40. > :05:43.County Down. Nevin Spence, his father and his brother, were all

:05:43. > :05:47.killed after they fell into a slurry tank at their home near

:05:47. > :05:53.Hillsborough. Mark Simpson reports. The family farm where a father and

:05:53. > :05:59.his two sons died in a tragic accident. They were found in a

:05:59. > :06:02.slurry tank. Among the dead was one of the rising stars of Irish rugby,

:06:02. > :06:12.Nevin Spence. The 22-year-old played more than 40 times for

:06:12. > :06:13.

:06:13. > :06:18.Ulster. He was tipped as a future Irish

:06:18. > :06:23.international but yesterday evening he died along with his father and

:06:23. > :06:28.his brother at their family farm 15 miles from Belfast. The emergency

:06:28. > :06:31.services tried to rescue them from the slurry pit, but it was too late.

:06:32. > :06:35.Because the size of the pit, it wasn't that deep and it would

:06:35. > :06:40.appear that as would be the case normally in incidents such as this,

:06:40. > :06:45.that the fumes overcame the people who got into it very, very quickly.

:06:45. > :06:49.At the home of Ulster rugby fans paid their respects, including old

:06:49. > :06:52.school friends. It feels like it's some strange

:06:52. > :07:00.horrible joke and someone's going to say, you know, it's been a

:07:00. > :07:04.mistake. It's not Nevin. It's just - can't believe it. Ulster rugby is

:07:04. > :07:08.in mourning. He was born in Ulster, he came through school in Ulster,

:07:08. > :07:11.he played rugby for Ulster, and all he wanted to do for the remainder

:07:11. > :07:16.of his career was to stay here, win trophies and be successful with

:07:16. > :07:20.Ulster. He was part of the Ulster squad that reached the final of the

:07:20. > :07:26.European Heineken Cup last season. Rugby players across the world,

:07:26. > :07:29.from New Zealand, to France to South Africa have paid tribute to

:07:29. > :07:34.Nevin Spence. Here his team-mates described him as a wonderful player,

:07:34. > :07:37.and a wonderful person. Sentiments which were echoed by fans who came

:07:37. > :07:47.to Ulster's home ground to remember the young rugby player, and his

:07:47. > :07:50.family. Lawyers for the Duke and Duchess of

:07:50. > :07:52.Cambridge will make a criminal complaint to the French prosecutor

:07:52. > :07:55.tomorrow over topless photographs taken of the Duchess. A St James's

:07:55. > :07:57.Palace spokesman said they would seek damages and an injunction

:07:57. > :08:00.against further publication. The couple are continuing their Jubilee

:08:00. > :08:06.tour and have now arrived in the Solomon Islands, from where our

:08:06. > :08:09.Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports.

:08:09. > :08:13.Keep smiling, and carry on, that is very much the motto of this tour

:08:13. > :08:19.now and when you receive a welcome as warm as the one William and Kate

:08:19. > :08:23.were given in the Solomon Islands it would be hard not to smile.

:08:24. > :08:26.The fury of Friday, when they first saw the paparazzi photographs, has

:08:26. > :08:30.softened, though not their determination to hold fully to

:08:30. > :08:34.account the French magazine which published them.

:08:34. > :08:40.William and Kate travelled from the airport into the centre of the main

:08:40. > :08:43.town in a vehicle fashioned to look like a canoe. Thousands of

:08:43. > :08:49.islanders had come out to greet them and perhaps this was just what

:08:49. > :08:55.the couple needed. Warmth and enthusiasm. Half a world away,

:08:55. > :08:58.literally, from the cynicism of editors in Europe. Behind the

:08:58. > :09:03.scenes officials are very focused on identifying the photographer who

:09:03. > :09:10.took the pictures and to pursuing the legal action in France. In

:09:10. > :09:14.public, the couple are very focused on making this visit a success.

:09:14. > :09:18.They attended a service of thanks giving for the Diamond Jubilee of

:09:18. > :09:28.the Queen, who is the head of state. Later, at an open air dinner given

:09:28. > :09:31.

:09:31. > :09:34.in the couple's honour, William tried the local dial local dialect.

:09:34. > :09:39.Mifala barava Tagio tumas. message has been clear, William and

:09:39. > :09:43.Kate are as one in wanting to seek the maximum legal redress against

:09:43. > :09:47.the paparazzi photographer and the magazine. That could be a civil, or

:09:47. > :09:51.a criminal recommend remedy. Tomorrow, lawyers for the couple

:09:51. > :09:59.will o seek an injunction in a Paris court to prevent any further

:09:59. > :10:02.publication of the pictures in France.

:10:02. > :10:04.Details of the new exam to replace GCSEs in England will be unveiled

:10:05. > :10:08.tomorrow. The new single qualification will be introduced in

:10:08. > :10:11.2015 with the first students sitting it in 2017. But there have

:10:11. > :10:16.been disagreements within the coalition over the planned changes.

:10:16. > :10:19.Our political correspondent Robin Brant is in Westminster now. Nick

:10:19. > :10:23.Clegg and Michael Gove will be unveiling this together tomorrow?

:10:23. > :10:27.Yes, both sides of the coalition coming together and they believe

:10:27. > :10:32.this is very much evidence of a positive achievement. It's good

:10:32. > :10:37.news about what the coalition sides can achieve when they come together.

:10:37. > :10:40.We will see Clegg and Gove tomorrow unveil the replacement for GCSEs. I

:10:40. > :10:42.am told the two men have been thrashing it out over the last

:10:42. > :10:49.three months and what they've come up with to use a Liberal Democrat

:10:49. > :10:53.word is sa radical reform. Out goes the GCSE in 2015. In comes

:10:53. > :10:59.something dubbed a return to the old O-Level. What the Conservatives

:10:59. > :11:02.get is a more rigorous exam. The end of course work, no more

:11:02. > :11:05.assessment. Most of the grading will happen in terms of how do you

:11:05. > :11:10.in that one exam. The Liberal Democrats in return get a slight

:11:10. > :11:14.delay, 2015 but more importantly, just one single level of exams

:11:14. > :11:17.knocks return to the old CSE and O- Levels which Liberal Democrats

:11:17. > :11:20.believe condemned some children at 13. Instead, one single exam and

:11:20. > :11:26.that's good news for Nick Clegg, good news on his priority as he

:11:26. > :11:32.heads to Brighton, which is social mobility, he believes this can help

:11:32. > :11:34.on that. Families of the 96 Liverpool fans

:11:34. > :11:37.killed in the Hillsborough disaster say they will seek new inquests

:11:37. > :11:40.into the deaths. They met following this week's report which revealed

:11:40. > :11:42.the full extent of the cover-up. The relatives want the original

:11:42. > :11:45.verdicts of accidental death overturned.

:11:45. > :11:48.The Pope has urged Arab leaders to work for reconciliation in the

:11:48. > :11:51.Middle East. Speaking at an open air mass in Beirut, he also called

:11:51. > :11:56.on the international community to find a solution to Syria's civil

:11:56. > :11:59.war. His visit coincided with anti- US protests across the region over

:11:59. > :12:07.a film deemed insulting to Islam, as our Middle East Editor, Jeremy

:12:08. > :12:11.Bowen, reports. Around a third of Lebanese are

:12:11. > :12:17.Christians. It felt as if most of them were packing into Beirut for

:12:17. > :12:21.the Papal mass. This was a celebration, and Lebanon

:12:21. > :12:26.has the region's strongest Christian population. But these are

:12:26. > :12:32.hard times for Christians across the Middle East as political Islam

:12:32. > :12:38.changes the landscape. In Lebanon we think we are very much more

:12:38. > :12:43.protected because we lived war and now it's only peace. We only think

:12:43. > :12:48.of peace. The mass was a relaxed event at a moment of great tension

:12:48. > :12:55.in the region. Pope Benedict appealed for peace and

:12:55. > :12:58.reconciliation and for an end to the war in Syria.

:12:58. > :13:02.I call on the international community, he said, especially the

:13:02. > :13:10.Arab countries as brothers, to find a viable solution that respects

:13:10. > :13:13.dignity, rights and religion. Not just Christians, Lebanese of

:13:13. > :13:19.all religions fear violence spilling over the Syrian border.

:13:19. > :13:22.They live on the same sectarian fault lines as their neighbours.

:13:22. > :13:29.Lebanon is a small, weak country with a history of getting caught up

:13:29. > :13:35.Middle East. What it does have, though, is a collective memory of

:13:35. > :13:39.the horrors of sectarian civil war and at the moment that might be its

:13:39. > :13:43.best insurance policy. During his visit the Pope congratulated the

:13:43. > :13:47.Lebanese for finding a way since their civil war to respect

:13:47. > :13:52.religious and cultural differences, unlike what's happening in Syria.

:13:52. > :13:57.It's more than civil war. It's like a genocide over there. And Lebanon,

:13:57. > :14:01.I don't think we don't reach this because as long as both, Muslims

:14:01. > :14:07.and Christians, they believe in Lebanon is their country, you are

:14:07. > :14:11.preserved. But the Syrian war has already

:14:11. > :14:16.sharpened sectarian tensions in Lebanon. This is Beirut from the

:14:16. > :14:26.road to Damascus. The Syrian border is less than an hour away. Too

:14:26. > :14:29.close are to comfort. -- for comfort.

:14:29. > :14:34.Andy Murray has been given a hero's welcome in his home town of

:14:34. > :14:37.Dunblane after his success at the Olympics and the US Open. Thousands

:14:37. > :14:44.of people lined the streets to meet the first British man in over 70

:14:44. > :14:49.years to win a tennis Grand Slam. Today was a rare chance to get up

:14:49. > :14:53.close and personal. Andy Murray returned home to Dunblane an

:14:53. > :14:57.Olympic gold and silver medallist, and Britain's first Grand Slam

:14:57. > :15:02.champion for 76 years. This is an opportunity for those

:15:02. > :15:06.who know Andy Murray best, his friends and neighbours, to

:15:06. > :15:10.congratulate him in person. Today the streets are bursting, and so

:15:10. > :15:13.are people in pride. Everybody made the effort to come out, it was

:15:13. > :15:17.raining so hard this morning, as well. You know, it was the least I

:15:18. > :15:20.could do for the support they've shown me. He signed thousands of

:15:20. > :15:24.autographs, delighting those who waited hours to see him stphaofplt

:15:24. > :15:32.I have never really seen him smile before. It was nice to see that he

:15:32. > :15:36.was smiling. Andy Murray ended his parade with where his tennis career

:15:36. > :15:43.began. A chance to say thank you and perhaps inspire a new

:15:43. > :15:48.generation. That's what it's been like in

:15:48. > :15:56.Dunblane. Let's go to the sports centre for a roundup of the sport.

:15:56. > :15:58.Thank you. After the Success of Bradley Wiggins at the Tour de

:15:58. > :16:02.France and the Olympics, Jonathan Tiernan-Locke has become the first

:16:02. > :16:05.British winner of the Tour of Britain in 19 years, and for the

:16:05. > :16:07.thousands of cycling fans who turned out at the finish in Surrey

:16:07. > :16:12.there was the bonus of Mark Cavendish winning the final stage

:16:12. > :16:15.as well. From Guildford, here's our Correspondent Dan Roan.

:16:15. > :16:18.An unforgettable summer of sport may be over, but when it comes to

:16:18. > :16:22.cycling there's no end to the enthusiasm. This could have been

:16:22. > :16:25.the Alps rather than the Surrey hills, such is the euphoria which

:16:25. > :16:29.accompanies the sport's biggest names but this is the Tour of

:16:29. > :16:33.Britain, not France. And more evidence that this is now a cycling

:16:33. > :16:37.nation. It's immensely satisfying. When we started out in this sport

:16:37. > :16:42.you were lucky to get a man and his dog out. To see the number of

:16:42. > :16:45.people that we now get to support sus incredible. British hopes for

:16:45. > :16:48.the overall title rested with Jonathan Tiernan-Locke. A four-man

:16:48. > :16:52.group did build an early lead but although the chasing pack wasn't

:16:52. > :16:58.helped by some unexpected obstacles, the breakaway was eventually reeled

:16:58. > :17:02.Here at the finishing line on gill tportd's cobble -- Guildford's

:17:02. > :17:05.cobbled high street, huge support. More than a million speculaters --

:17:05. > :17:09.spectators have seen the Tour of Britain, proof again that cycling

:17:09. > :17:14.is no longer a minority sport. Back on the course the contest had

:17:14. > :17:18.opened up. This 8th and final stage of the event borrowed some of the

:17:18. > :17:24.route used in the Olympic road race. Mark Cavendish couldn't manage gold

:17:24. > :17:30.that day but this may have gone some way to easing disappointment.

:17:30. > :17:36.British cycling's sprint King doing what he does best and claiming

:17:36. > :17:40.another stage win. Jonathan Tiernan-Locke wasn't far behind.

:17:40. > :17:44.British cycling's latest success story. With the Tour and Olympics

:17:44. > :17:48.and that, it's inspiring just be to be able to contribute to that this

:17:48. > :17:52.year. It's great to be a part of. The sport in this country's never

:17:52. > :18:01.known a year like this and with this week's World Championships to

:18:01. > :18:04.come, the hope will be that the cycle of success continues.

:18:04. > :18:07.There was one game in the Barclays Premier League today and Tottenham

:18:07. > :18:10.have their first win of the season. Jermaine Defoe scored twice in

:18:10. > :18:13.their 3-1 victory at the Madejski Stadium against Reading. He got one

:18:13. > :18:16.goal in each half. Gareth Bale also scored for Spurs. Reading are one

:18:17. > :18:20.point off the bottom. African runners dominated the Great

:18:20. > :18:24.North Run today. Wilson Kipsang won the men's race and was one of four

:18:24. > :18:27.Kenyans in the top five. Kipsang won the London Marathon earlier
