:00:56. > :00:59.Maria Sharapova in the French Open South African President, Nelson
:00:59. > :01:04.Mandela, is said to be in a "serious, but stable" condition
:01:04. > :01:07.after being readmitted to hospital. He's suffering from a recurrence of
:01:07. > :01:14.a lung infection. The 94-year-old was taken to hospital in Pretoria in
:01:14. > :01:19.the early hours of this morning. Andrew Harding has more details.
:01:19. > :01:28.Nelson Mandela was taken from his home here in Johannesburg during the
:01:28. > :01:32.night. He is suffering from yet another lung infection. Around 1. 30
:01:32. > :01:36.am this morning, his condition had deteriorated to the point where they
:01:36. > :01:40.felt that they should immediately hospitalise him. He is now in a
:01:40. > :01:47.hospital in Pretoria. The doctors have reported, late this morning,
:01:47. > :01:55.that his condition is serious, but stable. Mr Mandela has fought off
:01:55. > :02:01.pneumonia before, it's his third visit to hospital this year. Hi is a
:02:01. > :02:10.global icon, the man who spent 27 years in jail, then led a divided
:02:10. > :02:15.nation to democracy. Nelson Mandela is a reveered figure here South
:02:15. > :02:21.Africa. This latest trip to hospital has not provoked any real sense of
:02:21. > :02:26.surprise or panic. I think that the majority of the South African
:02:26. > :02:30.population has resigned themselves to the fact that he is in his
:02:30. > :02:35.advance ages and he will passe way eventually. Because he has been in
:02:35. > :02:40.and out so many times, you assume he will be out this time as well. I
:02:40. > :02:45.just hope gets well. As a country, I guess, at this point, we start
:02:45. > :02:53.assuming the worse as well. What does he mean for South Africa?
:02:53. > :03:03.us he represents freedom. A living legend then, wrestling with money
:03:03. > :03:06.
:03:06. > :03:11.our correspondent who is there, Karen Allen. What is the latest on
:03:11. > :03:15.the former president'ses position? Little change. He is said to be in a
:03:15. > :03:20.serious, but stable condition in hospital. There is an understanding
:03:20. > :03:23.across South Africa that he is an elderly man, but Nelson Mandela has
:03:23. > :03:31.confounded expectations with past spells in hospitals. There is a real
:03:31. > :03:35.hope that he will rally once again. Archbishop Desmond Tutu who is is a
:03:35. > :03:40.close friend and fellow freedom fighter has call on South Africans
:03:40. > :03:44.to pray for Nelson Mandela and to wish him a speedy recovery to allow
:03:44. > :03:53.him to return home. Tonight, once again, South Africa is holding its
:03:53. > :03:56.breath. Thank you. Labour has called on the Government to explain what
:03:56. > :03:59.ministers know about allegations surrounding the intelligence
:03:59. > :04:03.gathering centre, GCHQ. The agency is expected to report to Parliament
:04:03. > :04:08.within days on claims it has had access to information about the
:04:08. > :04:12.internet activity of British citizens, data gathered through an
:04:12. > :04:19.American spy programme. GCHQ says it has been acting within the law. Ross
:04:19. > :04:24.Hawkins has more. Has a US security agency plucked personal details from
:04:24. > :04:28.the servers of goiant internet companies and passed it on to
:04:28. > :04:33.British authorities? One question raised by claims about a US security
:04:33. > :04:37.project known as Prism, targeting overseas citizens. The pressure is
:04:37. > :04:41.growing for ministers here to provide some answers. These reports
:04:41. > :04:44.have raised very real public concerns. I'm now calling on William
:04:44. > :04:47.Hague, the Foreign Secretary, to come to the House of Commons on
:04:47. > :04:52.Monday and to set out the Government's response to members of
:04:53. > :04:57.Parliament. MPs will want to know whether the UK listening centre,
:04:57. > :05:01.GCHQ, really did, as claimed, generate almost 200 reports from
:05:01. > :05:05.that US online surveillance and whether the process should be
:05:05. > :05:10.brought to a halt. The firms involved have already published
:05:11. > :05:20.their statements, online of course. their statements, online of course.

:05:26. > :05:29.Google and Apple. Some ask whether we are worrying too much about extra
:05:29. > :05:35.we are worrying too much about extra online scrutiny. It's normal that
:05:35. > :05:41.our allies and friends help us with sharing information about terror
:05:41. > :05:46.suspects. Terrorism is global, not local. There will be a report next
:05:46. > :05:51.week, a row on whether Britain needs a new online security law is
:05:51. > :05:55.gathering pace. These claims have re-ignited those debates about how
:05:55. > :06:02.far governments have gone and how far they should go in the future, in
:06:02. > :06:07.the name of security. Three Americans have been killed in
:06:07. > :06:13.eastern Afghanistan by a man wearing an Afghan army uniform. The attack
:06:13. > :06:17.took place in Paktika province close to the border with Pakistan. Two of
:06:17. > :06:20.the dead were soldiers, the third was a civilian working with the
:06:20. > :06:25.military. It's the first so-called insider attack on foreign troops for
:06:26. > :06:29.more than a month. We can speak to our correspondent in Afghanistan,
:06:29. > :06:34.David Loyn. What is the latest on this incident? What has been done to
:06:34. > :06:39.minimise the chances of insider attacks? Well, investigations go on
:06:39. > :06:43.as to just what happened this morning in the heat of the Afghan
:06:43. > :06:47.summer, the high heat of the Afghan summer, an argument turned violent.
:06:47. > :06:51.Three Americans were shot dead. Three others were wounded. The
:06:51. > :06:54.Afghan soldier who shot them was quickly shot in return wlachlt makes
:06:54. > :06:58.this more shocking is that there haven't been many of these attacks
:06:58. > :07:01.this year. There were last year, around one in six of the
:07:01. > :07:05.international soldiers killed last year was killed in one of these
:07:05. > :07:10.attacks. Since then, several measures have been taken, in terms
:07:10. > :07:13.of vetting new Afghan soldiers, training them far better, protect
:07:13. > :07:20.protecting Americans and British soldiers, the main people on the
:07:20. > :07:24.ground. And,, I have to say, on the ground all of the time, in this
:07:24. > :07:27.country, the job that international soldiers are doing puts them
:07:27. > :07:31.alongside their Afghan comrades. If they are going to train them and
:07:32. > :07:35.mentor them and fight alongside them, I was in the same region where
:07:35. > :07:40.this attack happened a few weeks ago, seeing Americans fighting
:07:40. > :07:45.alongside Afghan soldiers, then they are vulnerable if these soldiers are
:07:45. > :07:49.armed as they are. That's the job of the international soldiers here. One
:07:49. > :07:55.other attack today, particularly shocking, an Italian soldier was
:07:55. > :08:00.killed in the west of the country by a boy who threw a grenade at them.
:08:00. > :08:07.The Taliban were very proud of that attack. And, three other Italian
:08:07. > :08:10.soldiers killed in that incident too. Thank you. The Duke of
:08:10. > :08:15.Edinburgh has spents a third day in hospital in London. The Duke, who is
:08:15. > :08:20.92, on Monday, had what is being described as an exploratory
:08:20. > :08:22.operation on his abdomen. Yesterday, Buckingham Palace said he is making
:08:22. > :08:28.satisfactory progress. The Duke is expected to stay at the private
:08:28. > :08:32.hospital for up to two weeks. Britain has pledged to give �375
:08:32. > :08:36.million to help feed the world's poorest children, at a meeting of
:08:36. > :08:40.the world's richest nations. It came as thousands of people gathered at a
:08:40. > :08:47.park in central London to call on the G8 group of countries to do more
:08:47. > :08:51.to help fight global hunger. It was another call to feed the world.
:08:51. > :08:55.Thousands of supporters turned up in Hyde Park today and their message
:08:55. > :09:01.was backed by some powerful voices including the man who helped welcome
:09:01. > :09:06.the world to the Olympic Games. still important to state very simple
:09:06. > :09:11.principles of basic human dignity. Nobody should go to bed hungry
:09:11. > :09:15.really. You know? It not be there fault, really. That is really
:09:15. > :09:20.important to say again and again. vast bed of plastic flowers was laid
:09:20. > :09:25.out in the park to represent the two million children who the organisers
:09:25. > :09:30.claim die of hunger each year. They are calling for better protection
:09:30. > :09:33.for farmers in poor countries. They want more action to prevent
:09:34. > :09:38.malnutrition and they say there should be a clampdown on tax
:09:38. > :09:43.avoidance by companies working in the developing world. The UK has
:09:43. > :09:48.decided to make malnutrition a priority at the upcoming G8 Summit.
:09:48. > :09:51.Today, the Prime Minister promised more funds to fight the problem
:09:51. > :09:56.globally. Britain is the kind of country that should be outward
:09:56. > :10:00.looking. We understand if we invest in countries before they get broken,
:10:00. > :10:05.we might not end up spending so much on dealing with the problems.
:10:05. > :10:09.Whether that is mass migration or new threats to national security.
:10:09. > :10:14.The leaders of the world's eight richest countries, the G8, are
:10:14. > :10:17.gathering in Northern Ireland in a weeks' time. Some say the UK should
:10:17. > :10:21.use it is presidency of the meeting to force through change. We need to
:10:21. > :10:24.be more generous. We need to pay attention to what is going on in
:10:24. > :10:27.these poor countries. If they were living in our neighbourhoods,
:10:27. > :10:32.obviously, we would reach out and help them. That is why today's event
:10:32. > :10:36.is so important. The charities behind today's rally say there is
:10:36. > :10:40.enough fooled in the world but one person in eight doesn't have enough.
:10:40. > :10:50.Message from this rally is that the G8 leaders has a chance to help end
:10:50. > :10:56.
:10:56. > :11:00.what some say is the silent scandal the North Sea are rising. The
:11:00. > :11:10.council which certifies whether fish are being caught sustain sustainable
:11:10. > :11:17.
:11:17. > :11:21.it says it is too soon to know when the levels will fully recover. In
:11:21. > :11:26.Europe cod catastrophe has been diverted. Strict catch limits have
:11:26. > :11:30.put the entire North Sea cod fishery on the road to recovery. It is a
:11:30. > :11:36.matter of time before the fishery can be certified sustainable. It
:11:36. > :11:41.warns that until that day fish eaters should still source cod from
:11:41. > :11:45.other fisheries which have earn an MSC label. They admit to Australian
:11:45. > :11:52.wanted side effect to the campaign against cod eating. Some celebrity
:11:52. > :12:02.chefs have pointed people towards alternatives. So many fish fishermen
:12:02. > :12:06.
:12:06. > :12:13.are hunt hunting other options that their stocks may run low. Sport now.
:12:13. > :12:16.Thank you. Tennis and Lions rugby coming up.
:12:16. > :12:18.With the start of the Ashes series just over a month away, England's

:12:33. > :12:37.
:12:37. > :12:42.Here's Patrick Gearey. Ian Bell built a platform for them to attack
:12:42. > :12:52.from. When his shift came to an end on 91 no-one was there to relieve
:12:52. > :12:54.
:12:54. > :13:01.him. England's big hitters clock on and off in the space of a few overs.
:13:01. > :13:06.Momentum needed to be carried into the field. The early wicket of
:13:06. > :13:13.Warner helped. The run rate increased, so did the need to take
:13:13. > :13:18.risks. England won the gamble. Anderson is England's One Day
:13:18. > :13:27.International wicket taker. They begin an Ashes summer as they mean
:13:27. > :13:30.to go on. In Rugby Union, the British and
:13:30. > :13:33.Irish Lions are still unbeaten in Australia, but their wing, Tommy
:13:34. > :13:35.Bowe, looks set to miss the rest of the Tour after breaking a hand
:13:35. > :13:38.against Queensland Reds in Brisbane today.
:13:38. > :13:41.The home side went ahead with a brilliant solo try from Luke

:13:43. > :13:46.in a fortnight, The Lions fought back.
:13:46. > :13:49.A try from Ben Youngs helping them to a 22-12 victory.
:13:49. > :13:52.The Lions Tour has deprived the home nations of some of their best
:13:52. > :13:56.players, but Scotland refused to use that as an excuse as they were
:13:56. > :13:59.beaten by Samoa for the first time in their history.
:13:59. > :14:02.Scotland are in South Africa playing in a four-team tournament.
:14:02. > :14:07.Alesana Tuilangi, whose brother Manu is on Lions duty, scored two tries

:14:10. > :14:13.England won the first Test against Argentina in Salta.
:14:13. > :14:23.They are missing nine first-team players to the Lions, but were too
:14:23. > :14:23.
:14:23. > :14:30.strong. An inexperienced Wales side were
:14:30. > :14:32.winners as well, but were tested by Japan in Osaka.
:14:32. > :14:36.Harry Robinson scored their only try in the 22-18 win.

:14:39. > :14:45.11 years after her first French Open title, Serena Williams has her hands
:14:45. > :14:48.on the trophy again. She beat the defending Champion,
:14:48. > :14:53.Maria Sharapova, in straight sets at Roland Garros to claim her 16th
:14:53. > :14:58.Grand Slam singles title. Here's Tim Hague. A meeting of the
:14:58. > :15:02.two biggest names in women's tennis for one of the sports biggest
:15:02. > :15:09.prizes. Certainly, an occasion to dress up for. So it proved. Two
:15:09. > :15:14.breaks of serve each in the first eight games. Serena Williams talked
:15:14. > :15:19.herself into a crucial third. That winner put her into a 5-4 lead she
:15:19. > :15:22.made no mistake in serving out for the set. Given Maria Sharapova
:15:22. > :15:27.hadn't beaten the American in nine years, perhaps her game would
:15:27. > :15:32.crumble? Far from it. She began the second set in winning form. The
:15:32. > :15:40.problem for her, Serena was supreme. Her range of shots, power and poise
:15:40. > :15:44.just too much for the Russian. She broke the Champion in the third game
:15:44. > :15:51.and held on to that to serve for the Championship. Given she had lost one
:15:51. > :15:55.set in the entire two weeks of play, an ace the obvious conclusion. The
:15:55. > :16:00.world number one's first French Open for 11 years, her 16th Grand Slam
:16:00. > :16:07.title. In this form, who would get against number 17 coming at
:16:07. > :16:10.Wimbledon? Sebastian Vettel is on pole at the
:16:10. > :16:12.Canadian Grand Prix for the third year in a row, but rain made for
:16:12. > :16:15.some very tricky conditions in Montreal.
:16:16. > :16:17.Felipe Massa was the biggest casualty, losing control of his
:16:17. > :16:20.Ferrari. It was the Brazilian's third big
:16:20. > :16:23.crash in just over a fortnight, he'll start from 15th.
:16:23. > :16:26.Vettel and Lewis Hamilton vied for pole with the Championship leader
:16:27. > :16:28.eventually coming out on top in his Red Bull, with the Mercedes second
:16:29. > :16:37.quickest. Valtteri Bottas was third for
:16:37. > :16:40.Williams. Chris Froome has tightened his grip
:16:40. > :16:50.on the leader's jersey at the Criterium du Dauphine after today's
