:00:08. > :00:14.More calls for calm in Belfast. Politicians say they are not giving

:00:14. > :00:18.up in the face of protests about the Union flag.

:00:18. > :00:22.1,000 people attend a rally for peace, demanding an end to weeks of

:00:22. > :00:27.violence. An eight-year-old British girl is

:00:28. > :00:32.shot dead while on holiday with her family in Jamaica. The first RAF

:00:32. > :00:40.plane arrives in France to support the country's military operation

:00:40. > :00:50.against rebels in Mali. And Leicester Tigers keep their hopes

:00:50. > :01:04.

:01:04. > :01:08.Hello. Good evening. 1,000 people have attended a peace rally in

:01:08. > :01:12.Belfast, in opposition to the violence following the city koun's

:01:12. > :01:16.decision to restrict the flying of the Union flag. It comes after 29

:01:16. > :01:20.police officers were injured, when nationalists clashed with loyalists

:01:20. > :01:24.last night. Northern Ireland's First Minister, Peter Robinson,

:01:24. > :01:29.says the political process is the only way to end the unrest. Tonight,

:01:29. > :01:37.200 loyalists have taken part in another protest, blocking two main

:01:37. > :01:41.roads. East Belfast this evening - the now nightly loyalist

:01:41. > :01:45.demonstration. A tense standoff between protestors and police,

:01:45. > :01:49.watched by Catholics. Earlier in the day, a peace rally outside

:01:49. > :01:54.Belfast City Hall. It was the council's decision last month to

:01:54. > :01:58.fly the Union flag only on limited days each year that provoked an

:01:58. > :02:00.angry response from some loyalists T resulting violence has dismayed

:02:00. > :02:04.these people. The majority of people in Northern Ireland think it

:02:04. > :02:08.is scandalous and shameful and hopefully, after today, people all

:02:08. > :02:12.over the UK will see that. I came along because we want to show the

:02:12. > :02:17.whole world that Northern Ireland is not two communities, it is one,

:02:17. > :02:22.with people that are causing trouble on the fringes. It is

:02:22. > :02:26.decimating the economy and tourism as well. I am here to show support

:02:26. > :02:30.for a peaceful solution. Yesterday's violence left more than

:02:30. > :02:35.two dozen police officers injured, as loyalists, who have been

:02:35. > :02:38.demonstrating at city hall walked past the Short Strand area. Both

:02:38. > :02:42.nationalists and loyalists blame the other side for starting it.

:02:42. > :02:46.Gerry Adams, in the Short Strand today, criticised the police for

:02:46. > :02:53.failing to anticipate, what he claimed, was deliberate violence.

:02:53. > :02:57.People should not think that the peace process is not -- in jeopardy.

:02:57. > :03:01.It should not be taken for granted. We will not let this small minority

:03:01. > :03:07.bring us back to the bad old days. And the Democratic Unionist First

:03:07. > :03:11.Minister condemned the rioters. flag in Belfast City Council will

:03:11. > :03:14.not go up because somebody throws a petrol bomb at a policeman. The

:03:14. > :03:20.only way forward is through the political process. We are trying to

:03:20. > :03:23.encourage people to engage in that. Traders say business has suffered

:03:23. > :03:27.since the troubles started. Mainstream unionist politicians are

:03:27. > :03:33.struggling to find the right response. Working class Protestants

:03:33. > :03:39.used to be among core supporters. Many are jobless thanks to the

:03:39. > :03:41.desession and the decline of heavy industry. They feel alienated by a

:03:41. > :03:47.process which say they deprives them of one of the few things they

:03:47. > :03:56.still have left - their sense of British identity. The DUP, they say,

:03:56. > :04:00.has betrayed them. It does not act up. In 1974, power sharing, the

:04:00. > :04:05.Anglo-Irish agreement, the "no" campaign in 1988. Now all of a

:04:05. > :04:08.sudden the people again - it is all changed. Persuading disenchanted

:04:08. > :04:14.loyalists that the traditional parties do have something to offer

:04:14. > :04:18.them may prove a challenge. And Nick joins me from Belfast and we

:04:18. > :04:22.saw more than 1,000 people on the streets calling for peace earlier

:04:22. > :04:26.today. How do you sense feelings there tonight? Well, those

:04:26. > :04:30.demonstrations that you saw this evening, of loyalists, have we now

:04:30. > :04:34.understand broken up peacefully. It does not look like there'll be a

:04:34. > :04:38.repeat of the violence of recent nights. Attention turns to what

:04:38. > :04:42.happens next week. The politicians will go on speaking. There is a

:04:42. > :04:47.meeting between the British and the Irish Governments and Peter

:04:47. > :04:53.Robinson and his Sinn Fein deputy and the recent violence will be on

:04:53. > :04:58.the agenda. There is a newly-formed forum trying to bring all the

:04:58. > :05:03.unionist interests into one tent. It will be to get those disaffected

:05:03. > :05:08.loyalists to take part. Thank you. An eight-year-old British girl has

:05:08. > :05:13.been shot dead while on holiday in Jamaica. Imani Green, from South

:05:13. > :05:17.London, was in a shop in Duncans, a small town on the island's north

:05:17. > :05:21.coast when a man walked in and opened fire. Police are still

:05:21. > :05:27.searching for her killer T head teacher of Imani's school in London

:05:27. > :05:33.described her as a happy, playful and popular girl. This report from

:05:33. > :05:38.our Jamaica reporter. A community made up of a single

:05:38. > :05:42.extended family, now mourning the loss of one of their own. Imani

:05:42. > :05:47.regularly took the trip from South London to see her relatives here on

:05:47. > :05:52.the small coastal towns of Duncans. On Friday evening an argument broke

:05:52. > :05:55.out. Four people were shot. Among them was Imani, who was killed.

:05:55. > :05:59.Imani came here every year to spend time with her family. She was

:05:59. > :06:04.inside that shop when a gunman came in and opened fire. All of whom

:06:04. > :06:09.were taken to hospital, but she died of her injuries. We heard the

:06:09. > :06:14.gunshot. We ran outside and wed started to call "Imani, Imani,

:06:14. > :06:18.Imani." I picked her up off the ground. I realised she was still

:06:18. > :06:22.breathing. I just flagged down one of the cars out there and they

:06:22. > :06:28.drove us to the hospital. Officials say the shooting may have been a

:06:28. > :06:33.revenge attack. The gunman is still at large. At home in South London,

:06:33. > :06:37.neighbours say that the family have flown to Jamaica to be with their

:06:37. > :06:41.loved ones. Imani had been given special permission by her school to

:06:41. > :06:45.stay in Jamaica during term time. She shad sickle cell anaemia and

:06:45. > :06:55.the warm weather of the island brought her relief. Today her

:06:55. > :07:00.

:07:00. > :07:07.Tonight, in Jamaica, her distraught family is coming to terms with

:07:08. > :07:11.Imani's loss, in a place where she had felt safe.

:07:11. > :07:15.The BBC understands that Jaguar Land Rover is on the verge of

:07:15. > :07:20.announcing the creation of 800 production jobs at its plant in

:07:20. > :07:25.Solihull. The company, which is owned by Tata Group, had a record

:07:25. > :07:29.year in 2012. Its West Midlands plant employs 6,000 people,

:07:29. > :07:32.producing the Range Rover Discovery and Defender.

:07:32. > :07:36.An RAF transport plane has landed in France to help with the

:07:36. > :07:39.country's military operations in Mali. It is the first of two

:07:39. > :07:44.British aircraft which will transport troops and equipment to

:07:44. > :07:51.the West African state. France is engaged in fierce fighting against

:07:51. > :07:58.Al-Qaeda-linked militants in the north of the country.

:07:58. > :08:02.Britain's involvement in the crisis began today. This C17, military

:08:02. > :08:07.transport plane, arriving at an air base near Paris to pick up

:08:07. > :08:12.equipment for French troops fighting Islamist rebels in Mali.

:08:12. > :08:18.The Government insisting this is part of a very limited mission.

:08:18. > :08:24.Prime Minister has made very clear that we will be providing two C17

:08:24. > :08:30.planes in a support role. He's made very clear that there'll be no

:08:30. > :08:35.combat troops on the ground at all. We have no plans to provide further

:08:35. > :08:40.assistance over and above that which has already been announced.

:08:40. > :08:45.But diplomats clearly felt they needed to respond urgently to

:08:45. > :08:49.France's request for support. Britain, France and other countries

:08:49. > :08:54.have been alarmed by recent advances by the Islamist rebels in

:08:54. > :09:00.Mali. Moving from their strongholds in the north towards the capital to

:09:00. > :09:05.take control of the whole country. The Islamist groups, who already

:09:05. > :09:12.control much of northern Mali, have links with Al-Qaeda. Britain and

:09:12. > :09:17.France described them as a threat to international security.

:09:17. > :09:24.So now several countries are intervening. France taking the lead,

:09:24. > :09:29.sending hundreds of troops to Mali to support Government forces.

:09:29. > :09:34.French fighter aircraft have also been arriving in the region. They

:09:34. > :09:44.have been bombing rebel positions. The overall goal - to help the

:09:44. > :09:47.Government of Mali regain control The Labour leader, Ed Miliband, has

:09:47. > :09:50.warned the Prime Minister that it is the wrong time to call for a

:09:50. > :09:55.referendum on Britain's relationship with the EU. Members

:09:55. > :09:59.of Mr Cameron's own party are pushing for him to bring back more

:09:59. > :10:03.powers from Brussels. Our political correspondent is

:10:03. > :10:08.following this at Westminster. More pressure on David Cameron in the

:10:08. > :10:13.run-up to that speech about Europe? Absolutely, Jean. Ed Miliband is

:10:13. > :10:17.repeating his warning that it is a distraction to call for a

:10:17. > :10:20.referendum at a time when the EU and Britain has economic

:10:20. > :10:25.difficulties. David Cameron will listen more

:10:25. > :10:28.closely to a group of Conservative MPs who this week will set out what

:10:28. > :10:33.powers they think should and can be returned from Brussels to Britain.

:10:33. > :10:37.Like David Cameron, these MPs support EU membership, but there is

:10:38. > :10:42.a difficulty here for David Cameron, because by setting out these powers,

:10:42. > :10:47.if he fails to win some back, he could boost the prospect of those

:10:47. > :10:51.who want to leave the EU entirely. And the Community Secretary, Mr

:10:51. > :10:56.Pickles we have heard from him, talking about not wanting to remain

:10:56. > :11:06.in the E at any price - is I think how he put it? He hopes we can

:11:06. > :11:06.

:11:07. > :11:10.remain in the EU. He was asked what happens if any new deal ised a van

:11:10. > :11:15.taigous enough. He said it would be about interests to remain in the EU

:11:15. > :11:21.at all. He would vote in the national interest, not along party

:11:21. > :11:26.lines. Supporters say this means we would end up sleepwalking towards

:11:26. > :11:30.the exit. Supporters of Mr Cameron say it is time to cut to the chase.

:11:30. > :11:33.These supporters include some of his MPs. They say, go into the next

:11:33. > :11:37.election offering a very clear choice to people, a very clear

:11:37. > :11:43.question, should we stay in the EU or should we go?

:11:43. > :11:47.Thank you. An Egyptian court has ordered a

:11:47. > :11:51.retrial of the former President, Hosni Mubarak. He has won an appeal

:11:51. > :11:55.against the life sentence imposed on him in June for failing to

:11:55. > :12:04.prevent the killing of hundreds of demonstrators during the revolt

:12:04. > :12:09.which forced him from power. From Cairo here is our report. It was

:12:09. > :12:14.the briefest of statements from the judge.

:12:14. > :12:20.It is one that let to rapture among Mubarak's supporters in the

:12:20. > :12:25.courthouse. The former President's appeal was

:12:25. > :12:29.accepted and his entire trial will be conducted all over again.

:12:29. > :12:33.TRANSLATION: Thanks to God, our President is innocent. What

:12:33. > :12:41.justification are they jailing him? If that's the case, we might as

:12:41. > :12:44.well jail the Supreme Court of There was nothing to prove that he

:12:44. > :12:48.killed the protestors. It was the fact he did not protect them.

:12:48. > :12:55.Nothing more. Egyptians could hardly believe

:12:55. > :12:58.their eyes in 011 when the man who looked un-- in 2011 when the man

:12:58. > :13:02.who looked untouchable appeared in court.

:13:02. > :13:08.He was sentenced to life imprisonment.

:13:08. > :13:13.For the moment, he's here. Ill health meant a recent move from

:13:13. > :13:21.jail. More supporters gathers joud side, some saying they were --

:13:21. > :13:27.outside, some saying they were waiting to welcome his release.

:13:27. > :13:32.This woman's son was shot dead by Mubarak's forces early on in the

:13:32. > :13:39.revolution, on his 26th birthday. "I want his sons to be executed, so

:13:39. > :13:43.he feels the way we did when our children died. I want him to hang.

:13:43. > :13:50.God willing, that will be his sentence this time." There is a

:13:50. > :13:56.risk of a very different outcome. If after his retrial Hosni Mubarak

:13:56. > :14:02.is released, it will just add to a feeling that already exists here,

:14:02. > :14:12.that in reality the revolution achieved nothing.

:14:12. > :14:12.

:14:12. > :14:15.Let's catch up with all the day's Thank you. There were two key

:14:15. > :14:19.Barclay Premier League games involving the teams at the top of

:14:19. > :14:27.the table. All the goals will be on Match of the Day 2, which follows

:14:27. > :14:31.this programme. Please pop out of the room if you don't want to know

:14:31. > :14:35.the results. Alex Ferguson did admit he was relieved they did not

:14:35. > :14:39.concede a second goal in the closing stages. Robin Van Persie

:14:39. > :14:43.and Nemanja Vidic gave United a two-goal advantage before Sturridge

:14:43. > :14:47.pulled one back for Liverpool. That win laid down the gauntlet for

:14:47. > :14:52.Manchester City, who faced Arsenal in the later game. Arsene Wenger's

:14:52. > :14:55.side was reduced to ten men within the opening ten minutes. City

:14:55. > :15:03.capitalised, scoring twice before their captain, Vincent Kompany was

:15:03. > :15:07.sent off. 2-0 to City, the final score. Leicester drew 15-15 in the

:15:07. > :15:12.Heineken Cup. It must now beat Toulouse next weekend to guarantee

:15:12. > :15:18.qualification to the quarter-finals. Ospreys are out of the European

:15:18. > :15:23.competition, as are Edinburgh, who were defeated by Munster.

:15:24. > :15:27.Anglo-Welsh rivalry is always intense. It just takes it up a

:15:27. > :15:32.notch. Ospreys needed a win to stay in the competition. Biggar couldn't

:15:33. > :15:36.have come closer to giving his side the perfect start, twice hitting

:15:36. > :15:42.the frame, as Leicester could not deal with the constant pressure.

:15:42. > :15:45.The side were rewarded for their superior ritty.

:15:45. > :15:48.The handling was just as good in the stands.

:15:48. > :15:54.Leicester need to show more composure. When they did, they

:15:54. > :15:58.started to turn things around. Two late tries looked to have handed

:15:58. > :16:02.them victory. They did not count on Walker. The 20-year-old from

:16:02. > :16:06.Swansea used his local knowledge to weave around the defence, before

:16:06. > :16:11.setting up a great finish. Biggar could have won the game. His

:16:11. > :16:14.luck with the boot didn't change. Ospreys, out. Leicester need to

:16:14. > :16:19.beat Toulouse next week to guarantee qualification.

:16:19. > :16:22.Edinburgh have blown cold in this competition, which was reflected in

:16:22. > :16:27.the small crowd against Munster. Those who made the effort saw them

:16:27. > :16:37.lose their fifth game in a row. It was not prethty or entertaining. It

:16:37. > :16:41.

:16:41. > :16:47.improved the two sides chances of reaching the knock-out.

:16:47. > :16:53.Waites dominated to take a 5-0 lead. O'Shea, who had been beaten in two

:16:53. > :17:00.previous finals picked up a set before Waites sealed a 7-1 victory.

:17:00. > :17:06.Neil Robertson was forced to fight back from 5-3 down beating Ding

:17:06. > :17:11.Junhui in the end in the Masters. The Australian won the deciding

:17:11. > :17:17.frame with this shot and a break of 90. Robertson is becoming the

:17:17. > :17:22.fourth player to win back-to back titles. He will face Mark Alan in

:17:22. > :17:26.the second round. Thank you. And just a reminder of

:17:26. > :17:30.the main news here tonight - 1,000 people have attended a rally for
