Good ieng evening, thousands of pro-- good evening, thousands of | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
protesters are out as anger grows protesters are out as anger grows | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
against the President in Egypt. Mohamed Morsi' owe ponsents reject | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
his efforts. Both sides are planning mass | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
protests in the coming days, after a dispute over the new constitution | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
deepens. Requirery Davies sent this report | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
on Egypt's growing divide. It does include flash photography. A rally | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
tonight in support of their troubled President. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
To these Muslim Brotherhood supporters, Mohamed Morsi is a | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
Democratically-elected leader, who has more than reached out to his | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
opponents. That's not how things were being | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
interpreted today in many other parts of Cairo. Riot police | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
prepared for more trouble between pro and anti-Government supporters. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
The army, hither-to reluctant it take sides, warning that it might | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
be forced to intervene. When became President, six months | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
ago, Mohamed Morsi famously declared unlike his predecessor, he | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
didn't need a bullet-proof jacket. The message was - I'm one of the | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
people. But now the beleaguered leader has had to build a ten-feet | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
high concrete wall around his Palace to keep out protesters. | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
Egypt really is a divided country. It's an image of the new democratic | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
Egypt that doesn't bode well for the coming days. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
President Morsi last night announced he was annuling a decree | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
that hugely expanded his powers and sparked a week of violence. But a | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
controversial referendum on a draft constitution, planned for next | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
weekend, will still go ahead. A constitution, say Mr Morsi's | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
opponents, that's been drawn up by and for the Muslim Brotherhood, | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
would no consideration for others. If the President uses his majority | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
to pass law that is are against universial human rights and against | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
the standards we are looking for and we find ourselves in a | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
difficult position, we have no option but to continue with | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
demonstrations. Women, liberals and Christians have protested in recent | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
days against the draft constitution, a dkumt which some legal experts | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
say is fundamentally flawed. -- document It limits freedom of | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
expression. There are provisions that ban infreedom of expression or | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
insulting prophets. Mr Morsi's supporters and even more | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
conservative Muslims, that are against any draft changes to the | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
constitution and say the President is being misrepresented. He is only | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
looking for the sake of the country. He is not looking for power, money | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
or anything. He is only looking for the sake of the country. The chasm | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
between Government and opposition widened tonight when the | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
President's critics formally rejected the draft constitution. | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
They said it didn't represent the Egyptian people. Egypt is preparing | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
for another turbulent week. We can speak to Wyre live in Cairo. It is | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
not that long aago we had another President, President Morsi facing | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
the protesters. Now we have this one barricaded inside the | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
Presidential Palace. Where do you think this crisis in Egypt is | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
heading? These certainly are unprecedented scenes. Not even in | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
the dying days of Hosni Mubarak's regime did we have tanks and | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
concrete blocks and soldiers guarding the Presidential Palace. | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
This week was a chance for compromise to aindividual violence | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
last week but President Morsi's supporters are adamant. They say's | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
democratically elected leader and they say he has every right to push | :05:00. | :05:08. | |
through the constitution and have the referendum next Saturday. But | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
those opposed to to say it doesn't recognise women and other religious | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
groups. For next week, tensions will rise. There will be prayers at | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
the mosque on Friday, the Muslim Brotherhood will gather its | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
supporters and vote on Saturday. There will be violence ahead. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
Whether or not we will see the scenes we saw last week when people | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
died, is another thing but some people in Egypt talk about the | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
possibility of another revolution. Thank you. | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
The astronomers and broadcaster, Sir Patrick Moore has died at the | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
age of 89. His BBC pro, The Sky at Night was broadcast for more than 5 | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
years and made him a familiar figure to millions -- 55 years. 9 | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
most recent episode was only shown on Monday. With scientists and fans | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
paying tribute to his work, Nick Higham looks back at his work. | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
evening. The young Patrick Moore seemed a serious sort of chap when | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
the The Sky at Night fist made him Britain's favourite star-gazer. He | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
made his last appearance on the programme last week, talking about | :06:12. | :06:21. | |
water on Mercury. Waterfalls on Mercury. Along the way he became | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
one of the nation's favourite eccentrics a defapbtantly old- | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
fashioned man who's passion for astronomy was kindled by this book | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
when he was six. He had his own observatory in his back garden. His | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
early work involved mapping the moon, maps which helped the | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
Americans plan their moon landings. People like Patrick have been able | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
to put astronomy into perspective and help the ordinary people | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
understand the enormity of the universe. Thousands of amster | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
astronomers caught the bug from his infectious enthusiasm. That is the | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
end of this eclipse of the century and by jove was it worth seeing. | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
The young Heather Couper wrote to him, asking if being a girl was a | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
handicap for an astronomers. couldn't believe he' plied to me, | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
it says, "Dearms Couper, many thanks for your letter. Let me | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
assure you on one point, being a girl is no handicap at all ""I just | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
thought that generosity of spirit was fantastic. It really urged me | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
on to try for a career in astronomy. His monocle and machine-gun deliver | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
prix were easy to parody. These was Rony Parker. -- delivery was easy | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
to parody. Good evening. He was happy to send himself up as here, | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
launching astronomical stamps at Stonehenge. It counts as an | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
astronomical monument. Therefore I think it is suitable it use this as | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
a lanching vehicle for the Post Office's new astronomical stamps. | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
Are you a stamp man a collector? Not at all? No. Music was a great | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
love. He played the pee an yes and composed for the xylophone. -- the | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
piano. With his energy and range of | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
interest, he could have made a fortune but said his astronomy | :08:18. | :08:28. | |
:08:28. | :08:28. | ||
would have suffered and he always put astronomy first. | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
Sir Patrick Moore, who died today. The owners of the Australian radio | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
station that made the hoax call to the Duchess of Cambridge's hospital | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
last week have said they are to review their broadcasting practices. | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
The nurse who answered the call, Jacintha Saldanha, was found dead | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
on Friday. Her husband says he's devastated by the loss. | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
Jacintha Saldanha leaves behind a husband and two teenage children. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
The 46-year-old was found dead at her lodgings in London after | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
unwittingly transferring a hoax phonecall from an Australian radio | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
station, to the Duchess of Cambridge's ward. | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
In a message, posted on his Facebook page, her husband, Ben | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
Barboza writes, "I'm devastated with the tragic loss of my beloved | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
wife in tragic circumstances. She will be laid to rest in India." The | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
family regularly worships at this church in Bristol. The priest went | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
to pray with them today and told us about a community's loss. You could | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
tell she was a supportive, caring mother, somebody who - one of those | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
people in the background who do loads but never put themselves | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
forward to be in the limelight or whatever. But, a very - you know | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
the neighbours speak very highly of her. Other parish members just | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
devastated because they saw her as a very loving and caring and gentle | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
person. The DJ who is played the prank, Mel Greig and Michael | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
Christian have been taken off air and offered counselling, after | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
themselves being target bid a wave of hate mail. -- targeted by. Their | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
Sydney radio station says that at some point they do want it speak | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
out about the death. The station's owners, meanwhile, have replied to | :10:14. | :10:24. | |
:10:24. | :10:32. | ||
a complaint from the King Edward Scotland Yard has already spoken to | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
police in Australia and may ask to interview the two DJs involved in | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
the hoax. The inquest into the death of Jacintha Saldanha is | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
expected to open this week. Three days after leaving hospital, | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
the Duchess of Cambridge has been spending Sunday quietly with her | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
husband. Their press office has urged that Kate should be allowed a | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
degree of privacy during her pregnancy. | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
The South African leader, Jacob Zuma has visited the former | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
President, Nelson Mandela in hospital in Pretoria. The 94-year- | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
old has been undergoing tests after being admitted yesterday. President | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
Zuma's spokesman said Mr Mandela was comfortable and in good care. | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
In January, he was treated for abdominal pains. The former Prime | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
Minister, John Major, is to add his support to a group of senior | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
Conservatives who are campaigning to allow same-sex couples to marry | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
in church. In a statement tomorrow, he'll call | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
David Cameron's backing for the plan, which is due to be outlined | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
later this week, "krgeous." As our Political Correspondent reports, | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
the proposals have drawn sharp criticism from within the | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
Conservative Party. -- courageous. There was at times an uncivil | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
debate over the introduction of civil partnerships which gave same- | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
sex couples new rights but now proposals to allow gay couples to | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
marry approximate in churches and other religious buildings are | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
proving more divisive. Nick Herbert is in a civil partnership but has | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
set up a group to campaign for full marriage rights. Prominent members | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
of the Conservative Party wrote to the Sunday Telegraph supporting him | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
today and tomorrow the former Prime Minister, John Major will give his | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
backing. I think marriage is universially understood. A | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
particular commitment of two people towards each other. Many people | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
would like to enter into a marriage, not just a civil partnership. | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
couple agree. Derek and Darren have a civil partnership but want a | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
marriage. It's about equality. It's not a religious reason we are doing | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
it. Neither of Russ particularly religious. It's so we also can be | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
seen to be equul to man and women who get married. I don't see why we | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
can't have that same privilege. -- equal. Supporters of gay marriage | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
say churches won't be compelled to conduct marriages, although some | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
clergy fear a legal challenge if they refuse. There's opposition to | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
gi marriage in both some elements of church and state. Anglicans say | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
they won't allow ceremonies in their prep iss, the Catholic Church | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
is equally opposed and while 19 Conservatives have come out in | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
favour of gay marriage today, around 100 of David Cameron's MPs | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
are opposed. Think the Prime Minister feels it is popular and I | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
might suggest that's the reason they are doing it. He wants the | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
party to look modern and liberal- leaning, cuddly. We are the | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
Conservative Party. We are the party which says what's best in the | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
past we should keep. I don't think that's really in the tradition of | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
the Conservative Party. There will be a vote n on gay marriage in | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
Parliament next spring and separate legislation in Scotland. Most | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
Labour and Lib Dem MPs will be in faifrplt Conservatives will be told | :13:40. | :13:47. | |
to vote on their conscience. -- will be in favour. | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
Time for the sport. Over to Olly Foster at the BBC Sprts Centre. | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
Today's -- sports centre. Today's Premier League matches in England | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
and ask the land are on Match of the Day 2 and sportsScene following | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
up. But I have the results now. Manchester United are six points | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
clear after Robin van Persie scored an injury-time winner against | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
Manchester City. 3-2 the final score. But police are studying CCTV | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
footage from the Etihad Stadium after United's Rio Ferdinand was | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
hit by a coin thrown from the crowd. He needed treatment for a cut above | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
his eye. We can do without that. Two great sides battling out. You | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
can do without that. We had the same thing at Chelsea which was | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
masked by the carry on. Half a seat being thrown, lighters, coins, | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
everything. Nothing is said or done about it. It is a problem. Nikica | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
Jelavic's goal saw Everton beat Spurs. Elsewhere, Liverpool came | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
from behind to beat West Ham. One match in the Scottish Premier | :14:53. | :15:00. | |
League. The Dundee derby and United won against bottom club, Dundee. | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
Barcelona's Lionel Messi has broken a 40--year-old record for scoring | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
the most goals in a calendar year. He is up to 86 after scoring twice | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
in the win over Real bet tis tonight. He has overtaken Gerd | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
Mueller's record of 85 from 197 2. England's cricket remembers 2-1 up | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
in the Test series against India. They only needed 41 runs to seal | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
victory in the Third Test. But the run chase wasn't straightforward in | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
Kolkata. The moment victory was sealed. | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
Appropriately Captain Alistair Cook to the fore. England United. | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
Including Kevin Pietersen. Nothing like a few twoins aid the | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
reintegration process. -- like a few wins. The first part of their | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
mission was accomplished. Pragyan Ojha bold, just. India added just | :15:52. | :16:00. | |
eight runs. England's target just 41. Simple. Perhaps not. Captain | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
Cook who has sailed a sure path through this series but this time | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
ran aground and ran out of his crease. Stumped for one. Jonathan | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
trot stold lbw. Then Kevin Pietersen became a second wicket | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
for Ashwin. KP gone for a duck, England were wobbling. Fortunately | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
Ian Bell who looked shaky in the first innings, steadied the ship. | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
Back in the side after the birth of his first child, he'll feel better | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
after this 28-not-out. He was he who scored the winning runs. Cook's | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
men know a draw if the final Test will secure a first Series win in | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
India since 1985. In rugby union's Heineken Cup, | :16:44. | :16:52. | |
Leicester were winners against Treviso but car biff Blues were | :16:52. | :16:58. | |

President. There will be more on that story and other developments | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
