:01:48. > :01:53.public funerals and violent death. Their shared memory of civil war
:01:53. > :01:57.has helped keep this fragmented, weak country together, but the
:01:57. > :02:01.assassination of General Wissam al- Hassan, given full military honours
:02:01. > :02:05.next totd the driver who died with him, is more than a personal
:02:05. > :02:09.tragedy for his family. They saw him last in Paris, where he had
:02:09. > :02:15.settled them for their own safety. Hours later, after he returned to
:02:15. > :02:20.Beirut, he was killed. His assassination is the most serious
:02:20. > :02:24.sign yet that Syria's civil war posed not just to Lebanon but to
:02:24. > :02:33.all its neighbours. Lebanon's President said there should be no
:02:33. > :02:36.cover-up. That comment matters, because Lebanon's Government has a
:02:36. > :02:41.majority to supports the Syrian regime.
:02:41. > :02:45.The funeral became a rally for the side of Lebanon that opposes it.
:02:45. > :02:51.They believe General al-Hassan was killed because he was investigated

:03:12. > :03:16.Syrian regime. You hold Syria response for the death of General
:03:16. > :03:23.al-Hassan? We are here to show solidarity and protest. Our leaders
:03:23. > :03:27.are being killed, one after the other. We want the Government to
:03:27. > :03:30.step back. Lebanon has too many religious and political links with

:03:35. > :03:41.Lebanon's Prime Minister has been saying for months that this country

:04:04. > :04:14.Christian family. REPORTER: How does Lebanon avoid getting pulled
:04:14. > :04:18.into the Syrian war? Around half a mile away, soldiers were fired into
:04:18. > :04:22.the air and using tear gas to stop the demonstrators. Like the MP,
:04:22. > :04:27.many blame not just Syria for the assassination, but also its

:05:02. > :05:06.Jeremy joins us now from Beirut. Jeremy, just how fragile is the
:05:06. > :05:11.situation in Lebanon? It's more fragile than for some time, that is
:05:11. > :05:14.because of the civil war in Syria next door. I am outside the Prime
:05:14. > :05:18.Minister's office. There is a lot of barbed wire around here and
:05:18. > :05:23.troops in case the demonstrators try and get in again. Lebanon is
:05:23. > :05:27.fragile because of a 15-year civil war and because of the way power is
:05:27. > :05:32.split in this country, which is between the different religious
:05:32. > :05:36.groups. At the moment, Lebanon's problem is it is at the mercy of
:05:36. > :05:39.events, at the mercy of things it cannot control, not by any means
:05:40. > :05:45.for the first time in its history. That makes the Lebanese people
:05:45. > :05:48.nervous. They know that with the crisis of the size of one in Syria

:08:46. > :08:54.the victims. This report from our Wales correspondent.
:08:54. > :09:00.A moment to pause and remember. Family, friends, neighbours fell
:09:00. > :09:05.silent to honour all 14 people struck down in Friday's attacks.
:09:05. > :09:13.They include 32-year-old Karina Menzies, a mother, killed as she
:09:13. > :09:18.walked with her children. In the midst of its grief, her family
:09:18. > :09:26.wanted to pay tribbuert to her family. I spoke to -- Tribute to

:11:08. > :11:11.Minister will say in a speech tomorrow that Britain needs a tough,
:11:11. > :11:16.but intelligent approach to tackling crime. David Cameron will
:11:16. > :11:19.try and put law and order policy in the public spotlight, arguing that
:11:19. > :11:25.tougher sentencing can be combined with a compassionate approach to
:11:25. > :11:29.stopping re-offending. Crime is falling across Britain,
:11:29. > :11:34.but it is rising up the political agenda. In a speech tomorrow, David
:11:34. > :11:38.Cameron is expected to say tougher sentences need to be matched with
:11:38. > :11:41.better rehabilitation of offenders. He will hope that can come from
:11:41. > :11:46.extending the use of payment by results from private companies

:11:55. > :11:58.keep guns intending to supply others would get a life sentence.
:11:58. > :12:02.There is not at the moment an offence for somebody to possess a
:12:02. > :12:07.firearm with the intent to supply to it somebody else. It is right we
:12:07. > :12:14.introduce that offence. Those supplying the firearms are as

:12:31. > :12:37.swaggering, dominating the pavement, think what has brought that child
:12:37. > :12:39.to that moment. Critics called it "soft." The man who wrote that
:12:39. > :12:43.speech said the Prime Minister should resist calls to be too tough
:12:43. > :12:49.on crime. I understand that he has to speak
:12:49. > :12:52.to a public who are concerned about crime levels and deeply frustrated
:12:52. > :12:56.at antisocial behaviour and high crime. However, it would be
:12:56. > :13:00.disappointing if he abandoned the much more intelligent and
:13:00. > :13:04.sophisticated rhetoric about the causes of crime. Labour criticised
:13:04. > :13:09.the Government's approach. What is clear is David Cameron is doing
:13:09. > :13:13.what Tory leaders do when the going gets tough, they lurch to the right.

:13:24. > :13:27.charged with keeping order among Tory MPs, David Cameron will hope
:13:27. > :13:31.his speech on law and order will move politics on to policies that
:13:31. > :13:40.will calm his party and prove popular to the voters the Tories

:16:21. > :16:25.As if the prospect of a two-and-a- half hour triathlon is not

:16:35. > :16:36.

:16:52. > :16:56.leader. The main danger appeared to come from the elements. Australia's
:16:56. > :17:00.Sexton found out. Brownlee's performance stayed as strong as the
:17:00. > :17:06.travelling support. Javier Gomez, as expected moved to the front.
:17:06. > :17:11.Brownlee crucially stayed in touch. Gomez duly finished first. The
:17:11. > :17:15.Yorkshireman was just behind and that was enough for the title.
:17:15. > :17:20.It was hard. It is a tough race out there. It's been a great season. If
