:00:11. > :00:15.join nationwide protests calling for the resignation of the President.

:00:15. > :00:21.One year after Mohamed Morsi took office, Cairo's Tahrir Square pills

:00:21. > :00:24.with his opponents in the biggest protest since the revolution two

:00:24. > :00:29.years ago. The protesters are outside the presidential palace,

:00:29. > :00:33.too, demanding that the president steps down immediately. As his

:00:33. > :00:37.supporters staged their own rival demonstrations, we will be assessing

:00:37. > :00:41.what the unrest means for Egypt's fledgling democracy.

:00:41. > :00:44.Also tonight: The European Commission demands an explanation

:00:44. > :00:49.from the United States over allegations of spying on the EU

:00:49. > :00:52.offices. I am angry, not only angry, I am

:00:52. > :00:58.deeply shocked because I think the United States should treat the

:00:58. > :01:01.European Union not like an enemy. The Government prepares to bring

:01:01. > :01:06.forward proposals for a transferable tax allows for married couples and

:01:06. > :01:09.civil partners. And Lewis Hamilton is among four

:01:09. > :01:19.drivers hit by tyre failure at Silverstone, casting a shadow over

:01:35. > :01:39.News. Egypt is in the grip of political unrest tonight with

:01:39. > :01:42.hundreds of thousands of people taking part in demonstrations

:01:42. > :01:47.against President Mohamed Morsi. The protests come one year on from him

:01:47. > :01:49.taking office as the first freely elected leader of Egypt, but in

:01:50. > :01:56.scenes reminiscent of the Egyptian revolution to years ago, protesters

:01:56. > :01:58.have packed Cairo's Tahrir Square, demanding his immediate

:01:58. > :02:04.resignation. The President's supporters have also been on the

:02:04. > :02:09.streets, but the scale of the anger is considerable. Middle East editor

:02:09. > :02:13.Jeremy Bowen is live in Tahrir Square.

:02:13. > :02:18.Thanks! It is absolutely deafening here tonight, there are tens of

:02:18. > :02:22.thousands of people in the square behind me, a great deal of noise,

:02:23. > :02:27.and tens of thousands more outside the presidential palace as well, and

:02:27. > :02:30.demonstrations, the opposition say, right across Egypt, all aimed at

:02:30. > :02:37.trying to topple the government of President Morsi, in office for only

:02:38. > :02:41.one year, but already reviled by a large number of Egyptians. This is

:02:41. > :02:51.the most serious crisis that Egypt has faced since President Mubarak

:02:51. > :02:53.

:02:53. > :02:58.From the River Nile across Cairo and right through Egypt, frustration,

:02:58. > :03:05.disappointment and anger with the president brought the opposition and

:03:05. > :03:12.millions onto the streets. It started with a petition whose

:03:12. > :03:13.organisers, a movement called Rebellion, claimed 22 million

:03:13. > :03:19.signatures demanding the President's resignation and early

:03:19. > :03:23.elections. The high hopes that followed the revolution in 2011 were

:03:23. > :03:26.always unrealistic, given Egypt's economic problems and political

:03:26. > :03:32.divisions, but those who want the president out say that he made a bad

:03:32. > :03:36.situation worse. We have got rid of a dictatorship that lasted for 60

:03:36. > :03:39.years, and now we have to get rid of a new fascism that have lasted for

:03:39. > :03:47.one year. The Egyptian people are not going to accept this anymore,

:03:47. > :03:52.Egypt has gone down the drain. you had an election. So what?A

:03:52. > :03:56.wooden sandal was used to beat a rule of Egypt to death once. A major

:03:56. > :04:00.cause of this content is Egypt's economic collapse. As well as

:04:00. > :04:03.accusations that he is ruling for his supporters in the Muslim

:04:03. > :04:09.Brotherhood and not for all Egyptians, the religious

:04:09. > :04:12.demonstrated alongside the secular. TRANSLATION: There is nothing in

:04:12. > :04:18.religion about killing people or destroying your country. Religion is

:04:18. > :04:23.for God, and the homeland is for everyone. President Morsi, or

:04:23. > :04:26.whoever is in charge in Egypt, needs time, money and the patience of the

:04:26. > :04:31.people. At the moment, his country does not have any of those things.

:04:31. > :04:41.The best bet right now is a prolonged period of political chaos,

:04:41. > :04:41.

:04:41. > :04:47.the most urgent challenge is keeping supporters of the president are

:04:47. > :04:52.staging their own sitting. They are occupying another square in Cairo.

:04:52. > :04:55.They echo their leader's view that he has the legitimacy of an election

:04:55. > :05:02.victory and that it is anti-democratic. It protests to try

:05:02. > :05:06.to force him out. Who gets him in his place? The voices of the people,

:05:06. > :05:10.and he must follow those voices. After three years, he will be kicked

:05:10. > :05:13.out if he did not go for the voices of the people. Many of the

:05:13. > :05:18.supporters of the president carried clubs, saying they feared attack.

:05:18. > :05:22.They believe the majority of Egyptians share the view that a slam

:05:22. > :05:25.and an Islamist state is the answer. -- Islam. The army is

:05:25. > :05:35.watching what is happening. They have warned they will intervene if

:05:35. > :05:38.Egypt becomes ungovernable. The coalition ranges from supporters of

:05:38. > :05:42.the old regime to the people who risk their lives to bring it down.

:05:42. > :05:47.They share the desire to overthrow their new president and not much

:05:47. > :05:50.else. No-one from any side of politics has shown the vision to

:05:50. > :06:00.channel the extraordinary human energy of Egypt into peace,

:06:00. > :06:01.

:06:01. > :06:03.some serious violence today, and there has been violence, but not on

:06:03. > :06:11.these gale that some predicted. The Muslim Brotherhood headquarters here

:06:11. > :06:16.in Cairo has been attacked, and Molotov cocktails have been thrown

:06:16. > :06:21.at it. The question for the opposition, though is how they try

:06:21. > :06:24.to fashion a political strategy that can rival the organisation of the

:06:24. > :06:27.Muslim Brotherhood. Meanwhile, here in Tahrir Square, they are letting

:06:27. > :06:32.off fireworks and celebrating, but at the moment it is not clear about

:06:32. > :06:42.what, other than their achievement in bringing so many people out onto

:06:42. > :06:43.

:06:43. > :06:46.live in Tahrir Square. European Commission is demanding an

:06:46. > :06:48.explanation from Washington following claims that American

:06:49. > :06:54.intelligence by Don EU offices. The allegations in a German news

:06:54. > :06:57.magazine are based on documents released by fugitive CIA

:06:57. > :07:03.whistleblower Edward Snowden. There is anger among new leaders gathered

:07:03. > :07:09.in Zagreb to welcome Croatia as a member. From there, Matthew Price

:07:09. > :07:12.reports. In Zagreb tonight, they gathered to

:07:12. > :07:20.welcome Croatia into the EU, a celebration for the 28th member of

:07:20. > :07:24.the block. But it is overshadowed by today's spying allegations. The

:07:24. > :07:29.president of the European Parliament arrived here mid-afternoon, still

:07:29. > :07:33.asking for answers from Washington. If it is true, it is a shock, and I

:07:33. > :07:39.am angry, not only angry, I am deeply shocked, because I think the

:07:39. > :07:42.United States should treat the European Union not like an enemy.

:07:42. > :07:47.The allegations appeared in Der Spiegel. Its journalists have seen

:07:47. > :07:51.part of some top-secret documents from the US National Security

:07:51. > :07:56.Agency. It is alleged that the NSA accessed internal computer systems

:07:56. > :08:01.at EU offices in the US, that conversations, phone calls,

:08:01. > :08:05.documents and e-mails were monitored. The information is said

:08:05. > :08:10.to have come from this man, the former NSA contractor Edward

:08:10. > :08:14.Snowden, who is in hiding after releasing other documents relating

:08:14. > :08:20.to alleged US surveillance programmes. On American TV, the

:08:20. > :08:23.founder of WikiLeaks, a target of the US justice system for publishing

:08:23. > :08:31.classified documents, was asked about Edward Snowden's actions.

:08:31. > :08:35.Years a hero. He has told the people of the world and the United States

:08:35. > :08:39.that there is mass, unlawful interception of their

:08:39. > :08:42.communications. The European Commission today asked Washington to

:08:42. > :08:49.explain the allegations. There is clear discomfort, even anger, in

:08:49. > :08:53.Brussels. So while the EU celebrates, the United States has

:08:53. > :08:57.serious questions to answer. The two are close and powerful allies. Will

:08:57. > :09:04.this affect their relationship? As one senior Brussels politician put

:09:04. > :09:08.it to me, you don't spy on your friends.

:09:08. > :09:15.The government says it will shortly bring forward proposals for a

:09:15. > :09:17.transferable tax allowance for married couples and civil partners.

:09:17. > :09:19.It is understood that it will happen some time in the autumn. Let's join

:09:19. > :09:23.political correspondent Gary O'Donoghue, who is in Downing

:09:23. > :09:27.Street. What is the thinking on this? Mishal, this was a promise

:09:27. > :09:32.made by the Conservatives at the last election, and if we have a

:09:32. > :09:35.couple where one partner is earning �6,000, not using the entirety of

:09:35. > :09:40.their tax-free allowance, they can transfer part of that to their

:09:40. > :09:45.husband, wife or partner. At the time, the Tories said it would be

:09:45. > :09:49.worth �150 for up to 4 million couples. One of those backbenchers

:09:49. > :09:52.is planning an amendment to the Finance Bill to bring that about,

:09:52. > :09:55.because the Conservative backbenchers are enormously keen on

:09:55. > :09:58.this idea, and hugely frustrated that David Cameron has not brought

:09:58. > :10:03.it about. Lo and behold, he will bring it about in the autumn. The

:10:03. > :10:11.problem is Labour will not back it, and the Lib Dems have a specific opt

:10:11. > :10:14.out. Any vote will be very tight. Be well, David Cameron has become

:10:14. > :10:20.the first serving British Prime Minister to visit Kazakhstan, a

:10:20. > :10:22.country which critics say has a quirky human rights record. Mr

:10:22. > :10:32.Cameron said Kazakhstan was a rising economic power and importance to

:10:32. > :10:33.

:10:33. > :10:38.says there has been real progress towards restarting the Middle East

:10:38. > :10:41.peace process. He has been involved in intense talks between Israeli and

:10:41. > :10:46.Palestinian leaders. The Palestinian negotiator agreed that there had

:10:46. > :10:49.been progress, but he warned that there has been no breakthrough.

:10:49. > :10:53.Police in Greater Manchester are hunting for the former boyfriend of

:10:53. > :10:57.a young mother who they say was brutally murdered. The body of

:10:57. > :11:01.25-year-old Linzi Ashton was discovered at her home in Salford.

:11:01. > :11:08.Police are advising the public not to approach a former partner,

:11:08. > :11:12.Michael Cope. In South Africa, President Obama and

:11:12. > :11:15.his family have been visiting Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela spent

:11:15. > :11:20.18 years of his imprisonment. The US president said he was deeply humbled

:11:20. > :11:25.to be there, while Mr Mandela remains critically ill in hospital.

:11:25. > :11:30.Southern Africa correspondent Karen Allen reports from Cape Town.

:11:30. > :11:33.Symbolism does not get much more powerful than this, the prison where

:11:33. > :11:39.Nelson Mandela, once branded a terrorist, spent a large part of his

:11:39. > :11:44.27 years in jail. And with it, a heightened sense of poignancy, with

:11:44. > :11:48.Mr Mandela, now 94, still critically ill in hospital. President Obama

:11:48. > :11:57.caught a moment alone to take it all in. Nelson Mandela's Starke prison

:11:57. > :12:01.cell still dank and cold. Then onto the lime quarry, a place of hard

:12:01. > :12:06.labour. With a fellow inmate of Mr Mandela escorting the first family,

:12:06. > :12:10.they heard how conditions here had permanently damage to Mr Mandela's

:12:10. > :12:13.health. Clearly moved by what they had seen, they came with their

:12:13. > :12:18.daughters to give them a lesson on life. The entry in the guestbook

:12:18. > :12:23.said it all. The family wrote they had been reminded that no shackles

:12:24. > :12:28.all cells can match the strength of the human spirit. The visit to

:12:28. > :12:32.Robben Island is a deeply symbolic part of the President's tour, but

:12:32. > :12:37.the symbolism continues as he moves on to deliver his keynote address at

:12:37. > :12:42.the same venue where, more than 40 years ago, US Senator Robert Kennedy

:12:42. > :12:47.was to give hope to millions in the fight for racial equality. The

:12:47. > :12:50.University of Cape Town may project a different image of South Africa

:12:50. > :12:54.now, so the president said of any country could demonstrate that human

:12:54. > :13:02.beings could affect change, this was it. Like billions all over the

:13:02. > :13:10.world, I and the American people have drawn strength from the example

:13:10. > :13:13.of this extraordinary leader and the nation that he changed. The trip may

:13:13. > :13:20.have been overshadowed by Nelson Mandela's ill-health, but it has

:13:21. > :13:24.been no less significant for it. Explosives experts have successfully

:13:24. > :13:29.demolished two tower blocks in Dundee without damaging a small

:13:29. > :13:32.church located between them. The 25-storey blocks came down just

:13:32. > :13:42.metres from Saint Martin's Church, which is expected to reopen to

:13:42. > :13:46.Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes at the BBC Sport Centre.

:13:46. > :13:50.Thank you very much, Mishal. High drama at the British Grand Prix with

:13:50. > :13:56.an unusual number of tyre blow outs, four drivers were hit by the

:13:56. > :14:00.problem, including Lewis Hamilton, who described the situation as

:14:00. > :14:04.unacceptable. Team-mate Nico Rosberg was the eventual winner.

:14:04. > :14:07.This year still doesn't seem to have a spring in its step. Unlike 12

:14:07. > :14:13.months ago, the rain stayed away, and Lewis Hamilton was on pole

:14:13. > :14:15.position, what could possibly go wrong? Fuelled by the optimism of

:14:15. > :14:24.bands, Hamilton made the smoothest of starts, but without warning, this

:14:24. > :14:28.happen. It is Hamilton!After just eight laps, his Grand Prix was in

:14:28. > :14:31.tatters and Silverstone was in shock. But the drama did not end

:14:31. > :14:36.there, and three more drivers had the same problem. With Jean-Eric

:14:36. > :14:42.Vergne barely able to keep his Toro Rosso on the track, the danger was

:14:42. > :14:46.all too clear. Look at the shrapnel! Sebastian Vettel had taken the

:14:46. > :14:51.lead, but there would be one last twist. With ten laps to go, his race

:14:51. > :14:56.ground to a halt. This time the tyres were not to blame. I have lost

:14:56. > :15:02.the clear box. Amid the chaos, Nico Rosberg powered through to take the

:15:03. > :15:06.chequered flag. Not the homecoming that Hamilton had hoped for,

:15:06. > :15:10.finishing in fourth. It could have happened at high speed, and someone

:15:10. > :15:15.could have crashed. It is only when someone gets hurt that someone will

:15:15. > :15:19.do something about it. You know, I am massively disappointed, and it is

:15:19. > :15:23.down to the tyres. So no British winner for the home fans here at

:15:23. > :15:26.Silverstone, and this is the corner where it all unravelled for Lewis

:15:26. > :15:31.Hamilton. Tyres have been a controversial issue this season, and

:15:31. > :15:36.after today's events at Silverstone, manufacturer Pirelli will have even

:15:36. > :15:39.more questions to answer. Cricket, and England's batsman did

:15:39. > :15:43.not spend as much time at the crease as they would have hoped in their

:15:44. > :15:47.final warmup ahead of the Ashes series. Making his international

:15:47. > :15:52.comeback in the four-day game at Essex, Kevin Pietersen fell just

:15:52. > :15:58.short of a half-century. His dismissal began a slump of four

:15:58. > :16:01.wickets for 49 runs. England closed on 328-7.

:16:01. > :16:05.Double Olympic champion Mo Farah has thrown down the gauntlet to his

:16:05. > :16:09.rivals ahead of this summer's World Athletics Championships. He beat a

:16:09. > :16:13.top-class field to win the 5000 metres at the Diamond League meeting

:16:13. > :16:18.in Birmingham, with a blistering final lap. There were also several

:16:18. > :16:22.strong performances by Britain's female athletes, including teenager

:16:22. > :16:26.Jessica Judd, won the 800 metres. And Chris Froome is just behind the

:16:26. > :16:31.leader of the Tour de France after the second stage in Corsica. Back to

:16:31. > :16:35.you, Mishal. This year's Glastonbury Festival is

:16:35. > :16:39.in its final stages, wrapping up in the next hour. Founder Michael Eavis

:16:39. > :16:44.has already declared last night's concert by the Rolling Stones to be

:16:44. > :16:51.the high spot in the festival's 43 year history, and there were some

:16:51. > :16:54.surprises among today's acts, as Lizo Mzimba reports.

:16:54. > :17:04.For many, this never likely to be repeated appearance by the Rolling

:17:04. > :17:08.

:17:09. > :17:13.Stones was nothing less than festival's founder, his highlight

:17:13. > :17:19.was being thanked onstage by Mick Jagger, who has wanted to book the

:17:19. > :17:24.band for years. The whole thing has been the best, without a shadow of a

:17:24. > :17:30.doubt. It is the whole razzmatazz of the whole occasion, do you know what

:17:30. > :17:38.I mean? Another performer of advancing years went down well with

:17:38. > :17:45.young fans was Sir Bruce Forsyth. He seemed surprised that he had proved

:17:45. > :17:51.so popular. What the hell I am doing here, I have no idea at all! I am

:17:51. > :17:55.going to try to rock and I am going to try to roll. At the other end of

:17:55. > :17:59.the musical spectrum, one of the most talked about act on this final

:17:59. > :18:04.day was country star Kenny Rogers. He has played all over the world but

:18:04. > :18:08.says that Glastonbury special. is no question, you have to look at

:18:08. > :18:12.the people who have been here, look at the people who are here even this

:18:12. > :18:17.year, and it is a very special place to be, and I am thrilled to be here.

:18:17. > :18:23.I hope I can pull my weight with the audience. I hope they enjoyed.
