:01:02. > :01:07.streak with a another victory in Hello, a very good evening to you. A
:01:07. > :01:11.moderate conservative cleric has won Iran's presidential election.
:01:11. > :01:14.Hassan Rowhani secured a clear majority with just over 50% of the
:01:14. > :01:18.vote after promising Iranians greater personal freedom. Tonight,
:01:18. > :01:26.the Foreign Office called on Mr Rowhani to develop a more
:01:26. > :01:28.constructive relationship with the West over years of deadlock -- after
:01:28. > :01:33.years of deadlock over Iran's nuclear programme.
:01:33. > :01:38.People came out nervously at first, and then with greater confidence to
:01:38. > :01:45.celebrate an election which had turned into a referendum on Iran's
:01:45. > :01:49.political system. In the past, when a moderate president was elected,
:01:49. > :01:52.ultraconservative paramilitaries smashed up the celebrations. Not
:01:52. > :02:01.tonight. When the interior minister announced the results, it was pretty
:02:01. > :02:07.sensational. Hassan Rowhani had won outright, getting three times the
:02:07. > :02:13.number of votes of his Nereus conservative rival. And indeed, Mr
:02:13. > :02:17.Rowhani has played a blinder. He was selected because he persuaded the
:02:17. > :02:21.religious authorities that he was also a conservative. Then in the
:02:21. > :02:27.television debate he made some electrifying promises. Political
:02:27. > :02:34.prisoners must be released, he said, and the pressed -- press must be
:02:34. > :02:42.much freer. Above all, he said Iran must re-engage with the West. That
:02:42. > :02:47.gave him his result. It is utterly different from the last presidential
:02:47. > :02:50.election in 2009. Then, convinced they had been robbed of victory,
:02:50. > :02:56.moderate demonstrators paralysed the country for days. Until the police
:02:56. > :03:02.finally emptied the streets by their ferocious tactics. This time, the
:03:02. > :03:07.supreme religious leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was much more careful.
:03:07. > :03:12.He did not back any of today's candidate so his own prestige was
:03:12. > :03:17.not on the line and he knows that he, and not the elected resident, is
:03:17. > :03:22.the one with the real power. Still, Mr Rowhani's election does represent
:03:22. > :03:27.an important change. If he delivers on what he said, then I think we can
:03:27. > :03:32.quite happily say that the last eight years when we have seen Iran
:03:32. > :03:37.in the grip of some very radical and extremist tendencies in the country
:03:37. > :03:39.is hopefully now coming to an end. But there is no doubt that large
:03:39. > :03:48.numbers of people in Iran are sick of the sanctions which have made
:03:48. > :03:51.them poor. And sick as well of being an extremist pariah state. They
:03:51. > :03:55.voted for normality. Whether they will get it is something very
:03:55. > :04:02.different. John joins me now. How much of a difference to you
:04:02. > :04:06.think this will make to the relationship with the West? I'm sad
:04:06. > :04:12.to say it is always wise to be really cautious way Tehran is
:04:12. > :04:19.concerned. I don't know if you remember that Jack straw held up the
:04:19. > :04:22.hand of friendship to Iran and the government 's bat on it effectively.
:04:22. > :04:28.Barack Obama was humiliated by suggesting it might be a good idea
:04:28. > :04:33.to change. But things are different now. I do think that the religious
:04:33. > :04:36.leadership, although they control all of these things, foreign affairs
:04:36. > :04:41.for instance, nuclear negotiations, there will not be huge amount of
:04:41. > :04:50.immediate change but there is altogether change in the air in
:04:50. > :04:58.Iran. I think ayatollahs Khamenei who is the top man in the country,
:04:58. > :05:04.and elected of course, by the people, but he must realise that it
:05:04. > :05:10.is dangerous to keep push, push, pushing all the time. I think he may
:05:10. > :05:17.well just ease up a little bit and let Hassan Rowhani have at any rate
:05:17. > :05:21.some of the things he has promised he will do. Thank you.
:05:21. > :05:25.Turkish police have stormed a park in the centre of Istanbul, firing
:05:25. > :05:30.water cannon and tear gas in a major operation to clear protesters from
:05:30. > :05:40.Gezi Park, which has been the centre of protesters -- protests in recent
:05:40. > :05:42.
:05:42. > :05:48.weeks. James Reynolds's report contains flash photography.
:05:48. > :05:55.This is what the end of the occupation looks like. Tonight,
:05:55. > :06:02.Turkey's riot police raided Gezi Park. They took back the ground held
:06:02. > :06:10.by protesters for the last two macro weeks. Amid tear gas, we filmed the
:06:10. > :06:18.police advance. The police have moved in with tear gas and they are
:06:18. > :06:24.now instruct and everybody to leave the park at once. The protesters
:06:24. > :06:32.abandoned their campsite. Many decided it was too dangerous to stay
:06:32. > :06:39.and fight the police. We do not want this government, a dictator. We are
:06:39. > :06:44.Turkish, you know? Several streets from the park, the protesters
:06:44. > :06:54.pointed us to one injured man. They called for an ambulance. In the
:06:54. > :06:58.
:06:58. > :07:03.distance, the police guarded the outskirts of Gezi Park. But that is
:07:03. > :07:09.not how Recep Tayyip Erdogan's supporters see it. Earlier today, in
:07:09. > :07:14.the capital, Ankara, Turkey's Prime Minister addressed the whole who had
:07:14. > :07:22.won three successive elections. My brothers and sisters who are still
:07:22. > :07:32.there, please leave. Taksim Square must be evacuated. Otherwise, this
:07:32. > :07:36.
:07:36. > :07:41.country's security forces know how And that is exactly what happened.
:07:41. > :07:50.The Prime Minister have cleared the park. He has won back his ground.
:07:50. > :07:54.But it is not yet clear who has won the fight for the country's support.
:07:55. > :08:03.Here, the Prime Minister has said Britain has taken a positive step
:08:03. > :08:09.towards tanking -- clamping down on tax avoidance and tax evasion. David
:08:09. > :08:16.Cameron has asked the overseas territories to reveal details of
:08:16. > :08:21.their owners. If daylight is the best disinfectant, that is exactly
:08:21. > :08:23.what the Prime Minister wants to shine on what he calls the shadowy
:08:23. > :08:28.world of international business and finance.
:08:28. > :08:35.Hosting the summit with the so-called tax havens, David Cameron
:08:35. > :08:39.called for an end to hidden tax schemes. The way corrupt governments
:08:39. > :08:44.and corrupt companies paid rides is offered through shady companies
:08:44. > :08:51.where you cannot find out who owns what. That is why you need a system
:08:51. > :08:58.to find out who owns what company. And he can point to some progress.
:08:58. > :09:04.Today all the overseas Territories have agreed to be bound by an
:09:04. > :09:10.international summit on tax openness. But Mr Cameron is pushing
:09:10. > :09:15.for even more. At the moment it is unclear who controls or owns
:09:15. > :09:19.companies registered here. The company wants a central -- the
:09:19. > :09:24.government wants a central database which lists who the owner of each
:09:24. > :09:30.company is. It is hoped that transparency will cut down on tax
:09:30. > :09:34.avoiders and boost revenue. But the Prime Minister's plans may face
:09:34. > :09:40.problems. The BBC has spoken to senior officials from so-called tax
:09:40. > :09:44.havens who say they not work. They say the business community has not
:09:44. > :09:51.been consulted and it may push back on the proposals. Others also have
:09:52. > :09:56.concerns. Mr Cameron's idea is embryonic. There is still a lot of
:09:56. > :10:00.work to do. I understand Mr Cameron's plan is just for companies
:10:00. > :10:06.and not for trusts which still leaves a gap in awareness of the
:10:06. > :10:09.beneficial owner of many of the financial entities in the UK.
:10:09. > :10:15.all eyes turned to Northern Ireland. Today there were protests ahead of
:10:15. > :10:20.the G8 which meets there on Monday. Mr Cameron hopes securing more
:10:20. > :10:26.support for openness will help him persuade fellow G8 members to agree
:10:26. > :10:30.on a wider scheme to tackle offshore secrecy. More than 30 people have
:10:30. > :10:33.been rescued or forced to swim to safety when an amphibious tour bus
:10:33. > :10:37.sank in Liverpool's Albert Dock this afternoon.
:10:37. > :10:41.Several people were taken to hospital for treatment, mostly for
:10:41. > :10:45.shock horror but all have been discharged now. It is the second
:10:45. > :10:49.time in three months that one of the yellow vehicles has sunk. A plane
:10:49. > :10:53.travelling between Egypt and the United States has made an emergency
:10:53. > :10:58.landing at Glasgow Prestwick Airport after a passenger found a note on
:10:58. > :11:02.board threatening to set the plane alight.
:11:02. > :11:06.All passengers have been escorted safely off the plane. The Duchess of
:11:06. > :11:11.Cambridge has made her final public appearance before the birth of her
:11:11. > :11:13.baby, celebrating the Queen's official birthday today at the
:11:13. > :11:23.Trooping the Colour parade. The Duke of Edinburgh did not
:11:23. > :11:29.attend. He is still recovering from surgery at a London hospital.
:11:29. > :11:34.Nicholas Witchel reports. A birthday parade without her husband.
:11:34. > :11:38.For only the third time during her reign, the Queen attended Trooping
:11:38. > :11:43.the Colour unattended by the Duke of Edinburgh. His previous absences had
:11:43. > :11:46.been during the 1960s when he was abroad. The birthday parade is an
:11:46. > :11:51.occasion when the entire Royal family gathers. The Duchess of
:11:51. > :11:55.Cambridge travelled to Horse Guards Parade in an open carriage with the
:11:55. > :11:58.Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry. It is the last time Kate is
:11:58. > :12:06.expected to be seen in public before she goes into hospital in the next
:12:06. > :12:11.few weeks to give birth. On horse guards, the Queen was joined on the
:12:11. > :12:16.saluting base by her cousin the Duke of Kent. Prince William and Prince
:12:16. > :12:18.Charles watched on horseback. They saw the colour of the first
:12:18. > :12:28.Battalion Welsh Guards being trooped. Three of the regiment's
:12:28. > :12:33.
:12:33. > :12:43.soldiers have been lost in other members of the Royal family
:12:43. > :12:45.
:12:45. > :12:49.made their way back to Buckingham Palace by carriage. A 41 gun salute
:12:49. > :12:54.was fired in Green Park and the Queen led her family out onto the
:12:54. > :12:59.palace balcony to watch a fly past by the RAF. A balcony appearance is
:12:59. > :13:04.very much a traditional part of the Royal family's annual routine. It is
:13:04. > :13:09.also a chance to see how very gradually the family is changing.
:13:09. > :13:13.This was the year when the family group was notable for the figure who
:13:14. > :13:19.was not at the Queen's side and for the mother-to-be who is preparing to
:13:19. > :13:23.give birth to a baby who will be third in line for the throne. Today,
:13:23. > :13:27.the family's immediate thoughts were with the absent Duke of Edinburgh.
:13:27. > :13:35.This afternoon, the Queen visited him in hospital. As far as we are
:13:35. > :13:45.aware, the Duke continues to make satisfactory progress.
:13:45. > :13:48.
:13:48. > :13:51.Now the sport for today. Thank you, Kate. Good evening. The
:13:51. > :13:54.British and Irish Lions won their penultimate warm up game before the
:13:54. > :13:57.first Test against Australia with an emphatic 47 points to 17 victory
:13:57. > :14:06.over the New South Wales Warratahs. But the victory has again come at a
:14:06. > :14:09.cost with another injury concern. The lines found themselves in
:14:09. > :14:15.unfamiliar territory today receiving instruction from their Australian
:14:15. > :14:20.hosts. -- the Lions. But their team-mates were about to face a
:14:20. > :14:30.different kind of physical challenge. Besides selected to take
:14:30. > :14:48.
:14:48. > :14:54.player in Leigh Halfpenny. In a game of ferocious intensity, temperatures
:14:54. > :15:00.briefly flared. The tourists had been accused of sharp raptors in the
:15:00. > :15:07.build-up to this game. Today, they were simply sharp. The only
:15:07. > :15:15.negative, worrying injury to Jamie Roberts. But the Lions have another
:15:15. > :15:21.outstanding player capable of stepping in. With their unbeaten run
:15:21. > :15:25.continuing, it seems the Lions are ready. There is confidence in the
:15:25. > :15:32.squad. We have a good understanding of what we want to do and achieve
:15:32. > :15:35.and we have to make sure we keep our eye on the prize. One more warmup
:15:35. > :15:43.match has to be negotiated but this was perfect preparation for the
:15:43. > :15:48.Lions. This was a statement of intent which will surely have the
:15:48. > :15:51.Wallabies worried. As the Lions injury concerns
:15:51. > :15:58.continue, England's Christian Wade and Brad Barritt have been called up
:15:58. > :16:08.to the squad. They will arrive in Australia on Monday. Wade will be
:16:08. > :16:10.
:16:10. > :16:13.flying from Argentina where he's left the England squad. They beat
:16:13. > :16:18.Argentina this evening 44-19. Wales lost to Japan for the first time.

:16:21. > :16:24.that match 30 points to 17. Top seed Andy Murray is through to
:16:24. > :16:34.the final of the AeGon Championships at the Queen's Club in London after
:16:34. > :16:35.

:16:53. > :16:57.And Neymar scored a stunning goal in Brazil's 3-nil win over Japan in the
:16:57. > :16:59.Confederations Cup and you can see just how good it was on Match of the
:16:59. > :17:09.Day in a few minutes here on BBC One.
:17:09. > :17:13.
:17:14. > :17:21.That is all from the BBC newsroom. gusty winds is the forecast for
:17:21. > :17:26.today. Both are calming down. It is shaping up to be a pretty good day.

:17:44. > :17:47.cities will stay in double digits overnight. There is some rain
:17:47. > :17:52.gathering to the south-west. It will stutter and stumble by tomorrow. It
:17:52. > :17:57.could bring rain to Devon and Cornwall. For most places, I think
:17:57. > :18:01.it will be dry. One or two scattered showers developing across northern
:18:02. > :18:05.Britain for the afternoon. Not a lot of sunshine for Devon and Cornwall.
:18:05. > :18:12.We will see some outbreaks of drizzle perhaps infringing into
:18:12. > :18:17.South Wales. The threat of rain across the south-east of England as
:18:17. > :18:22.well. Most places will be dry. With a bit of sunshine poking through and
