:00:19. > :00:22.Good evening. 30 people are reported to have been

:00:22. > :00:25.killed in rioting in Egypt after 21 defendants were sentenced to death

:00:25. > :00:28.for the country's worst ever football violence. Their

:00:28. > :00:31.convictions came after fighting at a match last year between a Port

:00:31. > :00:34.Said club and a team from Cairo in which more than 70 people were

:00:34. > :00:44.killed. Our correspondent Aleem Maqbool has sent this report from

:00:44. > :00:47.

:00:47. > :00:51.Whichever way this verdict went, it was going to reignite emotion. As

:00:51. > :00:56.the judge issued death sentences to each of the twenty-one people found

:00:56. > :01:03.guilty of murdering fans from a football club, there was joy and

:01:03. > :01:10.relief. But almost immediately, in Port Said, there was anger and

:01:10. > :01:15.violence. For families and supporters of the defendants, all

:01:15. > :01:20.from the city, attacked the police and fought back. Hundreds are now

:01:20. > :01:26.known to have been injured and a shocking number have been killed,

:01:26. > :01:30.including police officers. It was horrific violence in the City a

:01:30. > :01:34.year ago that started this. At the end of a football match, home

:01:34. > :01:39.supporters attacked visiting Al Ahly fans who said they were

:01:39. > :01:45.blocked from getting out of the ground. 70 were stabbed, clubbed

:01:45. > :01:52.and kicked it to death. In Cairo, outside the club now, people felt

:01:52. > :01:56.they had got justice. TRANSLATION: And we witnessed death with our own

:01:56. > :02:04.eyes. Imagine if your friends go to watch a match and they come back in

:02:04. > :02:08.a coffin. But thank God now we are pleased. I'm satisfied, but I think

:02:08. > :02:12.more people need to be sentenced to death, including the police

:02:12. > :02:19.officers involved. In the end, thousands gathered in their

:02:19. > :02:24.jubilation. There are sued celebrations outside the club now

:02:24. > :02:27.that fans have the judgment they wanted. These people have

:02:27. > :02:34.threatened violence across the country if things didn't go their

:02:34. > :02:38.way. These scenes of joy in the capital are in marked contrast to

:02:38. > :02:43.the bloodshed there has been in Port Said today. One of world

:02:43. > :02:46.football's darkest incidents continues to claim lives.

:02:46. > :02:50.An investigation is underway after a gunman who tried to rob a betting

:02:50. > :02:53.shop in Plymouth died at the scene. The man entered the shop wearing a

:02:53. > :03:03.gas mask and was restrained by customers and held until the police

:03:03. > :03:03.

:03:03. > :03:06.arrived. Robert Hall sent this Alongside a busy main road in the

:03:06. > :03:12.Plymouth suburbs, police have been piecing together the sequence of

:03:12. > :03:17.events which left a man dead, which brought emergency services to this

:03:17. > :03:21.betting-shop yesterday evening. One question is whether CCTV inside the

:03:21. > :03:25.shop may have captured in incident that began when the man, armed with

:03:25. > :03:30.what appeared to be a handgun, coerced into the bookies. According

:03:30. > :03:36.to the police his face was hidden by a gas mask. Investigators say

:03:36. > :03:41.the intruder was disarmed and pinned to the floor by four quick

:03:41. > :03:46.thinking customers. By the time the first response team arrived, the

:03:46. > :03:51.man was already unconscious. thought it was a fight over money.

:03:51. > :03:55.The odd blokes said he had come into rock the place. You could see

:03:55. > :04:00.that Ladbrokes was full of policemen at that time. Ever seen

:04:00. > :04:05.anything like it? And not around here. Officers tried to revive him,

:04:06. > :04:10.but their efforts and those of the paramedics were to no avail. At a

:04:10. > :04:17.briefing in the past hour, police named the dead man as Alan leavers,

:04:17. > :04:20.who lived locally. The firearm has been initially examined by a police

:04:20. > :04:26.firearms officer and it appears to be an imitation pistol, although

:04:26. > :04:29.this still needs to be verified. I would like to add, however, that

:04:29. > :04:33.there would have been no way of knowing this at the time of the

:04:33. > :04:37.incident. Senior officers say no one has been arrested or charged

:04:37. > :04:42.over the death. Legal experts say any action against those in the

:04:42. > :04:46.shop would be unlikely. It is extremely unlikely that the people

:04:46. > :04:51.that restrained this man will face prosecution. They could not judge

:04:51. > :04:54.precisely how their actions would affect things. They could not judge

:04:54. > :04:58.whether he would have difficulty breathing. They were in fear.

:04:58. > :05:01.the incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints

:05:01. > :05:05.Commission as detectives appealed for any further witnesses to come

:05:05. > :05:08.forward. There's been more bad weather

:05:08. > :05:11.across large parts of the country, with heavy rain and melting snow

:05:11. > :05:14.making many roads treacherous. Last night, hundreds of people were

:05:14. > :05:24.stranded in their cars because of heavy snow across parts of Scotland,

:05:24. > :05:24.

:05:24. > :05:29.northern England and the Midlands. On the hills above Bradford, an

:05:29. > :05:35.early start for Darren. He and his tractor were in big demand. How bad

:05:35. > :05:40.was it overnight? It came down within about an hour and a half. It

:05:40. > :05:46.started at about 9:30am and it was still snowing when I went to bed.

:05:46. > :05:51.You were up at 5:30am. I got up at 4:30am to see what it was like and

:05:51. > :05:55.then set off to work. I went home in my tractor. When the snow came,

:05:55. > :06:00.it was thick and fast. One Foot in less than two hours in parts of

:06:00. > :06:05.Lancashire and Yorkshire. The M6 could not cope. When it closed in

:06:16. > :06:23.motorway and as you can see, we have ground to a standstill. It is

:06:23. > :06:27.quite cold. It looks like we are in for the night. Horrible. By the

:06:28. > :06:34.time I got to Junction 25 on the M6, it was standstill. Of the lorries

:06:34. > :06:40.were just backed up everywhere. as the snow and ice began to melt,

:06:40. > :06:44.a new danger. The environment is agency is warning that serious

:06:44. > :06:47.floods are possible in many parts of England and Wales. There's wet

:06:47. > :06:54.weather all over the country, we've already got flooded fields and

:06:54. > :07:00.localised flooding. We've got spring tides. We've got a complete

:07:00. > :07:04.cocktail of issues and concerns. There have already been floods and

:07:04. > :07:08.parts of Carmarthenshire. There's not much chance of these cars going

:07:08. > :07:13.anywhere in the next 24 hours. The thaw may have started, but there's

:07:13. > :07:18.still plenty of snow on higher ground. The problem Enloe areas

:07:20. > :07:23.Britain says the international response to the humanitarian crisis

:07:23. > :07:26.in Syria is unacceptable, with the vast majority of countries not

:07:26. > :07:28.doing enough to help people forced from their homes by the fighting.

:07:28. > :07:32.The government is to spend another �21 million on providing food,

:07:32. > :07:35.medicine and winter clothing for people caught up in the crisis.

:07:35. > :07:38.Thousands of people have taken part in a demonstration against plans to

:07:38. > :07:42.close a major Accident & Emergency unit at a hospital in south-east

:07:42. > :07:46.London. Under the proposals, Lewisham Hospital would see its A&E

:07:46. > :07:49.and maternity units downgraded. It's part of a re-organisation

:07:49. > :07:55.aimed at rescuing a neighbouring health trust which has been put

:07:55. > :07:57.into administration. It's FA Cup 4th round weekend and

:07:57. > :08:00.two shocks already - non-league Luton Town have beaten Premier

:08:00. > :08:08.League side Norwich City 1-0, while MK Dons beat Queens Park Rangers 4-

:08:08. > :08:10.2. Elsewhere Arsenal, Everton, Wigan and Reading all won.

:08:10. > :08:14.Premier League champions Manchester City have secured their place in

:08:14. > :08:19.the last 16 - a late Pablo Zabaleta goal gave them a 1-0 victory over

:08:21. > :08:27.has successfully defended her Australian Open title and retained

:08:27. > :08:29.the number one world ranking after beating Li Na in three sets.

:08:30. > :08:39.Attention now turns to Britain's Andy Murray, who faces Novak

:08:40. > :08:41.

:08:41. > :08:46.Djokovic in tomorrow's final. Andy Finals don't get much crazier or

:08:46. > :08:51.more compelling. Crowd favourite Li Na power to the first set against

:08:51. > :08:56.Viktoria Azarenka before a dramatic twist. Her ankle went and so it

:08:56. > :09:01.seemed had her chances. Azarenka levelled. Then another injury. Li

:09:01. > :09:04.Na walloping her head this time. She was tested for concussion, but

:09:04. > :09:10.to the crowd's delight she battled on and pushed her opponent all the

:09:10. > :09:14.way. It wasn't quite enough. Li Na won a popularity contest, but

:09:14. > :09:18.Azarenka won the title. Tomorrow it will be the men's turn to take

:09:18. > :09:24.centre stage and that means Andy Murray. He has twice lost in the

:09:24. > :09:30.final here, but this time he is a very different player. The last

:09:30. > :09:35.eight or nine months, I feel like I have performed to the highest level

:09:35. > :09:40.I could. I think sometimes I had not played my best in the big

:09:40. > :09:45.matches and I felt like I had let myself down a bit. You feel like

:09:45. > :09:49.you let the people watching down as well. But now Murray has the

:09:49. > :09:53.momentum. After beating Roger Federer yesterday, victory against

:09:53. > :09:56.Novak Djokovic tomorrow would give British tennis for another night to
