Qatada, is expected to be de-Ported to Jordan in the next few hours.

The legal battle to remove him from Britain has lasted eight years and

cost more than �1. 5 million. A South Korean plane with more than

300 people on board crashes at San Francisco Airport and bursts into

flames. In Egypt, funerals are held for some

of the people killed in protests against the ousting of President

Morsi. And, new pictures emerge appearing

to show pictures of Mohamed Morsi supporters of Mohamed Morsi being

fired on at Friday prayers. The British and Irish Lions end a

16-year win drought and have a stunning win over Australia.

And, at Wimbledon, the French woman, Marion Bartoli wins her first Grand

Good evening. Final preparations are being made for the deportation of

Abu Qatada at the end of a legal battle which has lasted eight years.

The radical cleric is due to board a plane in a few hours' time,

returning to Jordan to stand trial on terrorism charges.

His deportation was agreed after the British and Jordanian governments

sign add treaty which guarantees that evidence obtained through

torture won't be used against him. Our Home Affairs correspondent, June

Kelly, is at RAF Northolt from where Abu Qatada is due to leave. June.

Jane, for some, this was a departure they thought they would never see,

but it seems toppite is the night when Abu Qatada is going to bid

farewell to the UK, the end to an extraordinary legal saga.

-- tonight. Abu Qatada has become infamous through his battle to stay

in the UK. The fight to remove him has cost taxpayers more than �1. 5

He'll depart from Belmarsh top security jail in South East London.

A friend said his family, he has a wife and five children, have been

told they should visit him in the day to say goodbye. Some politicians

are incensed at what the courts have done in this case. The judge has

defied the will of public opinion, the taxpayer who's spending millions

to keep this man inside the country, they defied the victims of

terrorism, what about them, the people that suffer from terrorism?

What about their human rights? was in 2005 that the British

Government began moves to de-Port Abu Qatada. In 2012, the European

court blocked his removal on human rights grounds. In March this year,

the Court of Appeal here also came down in his fave. The following

month, the UK and Jordan signed a treaty under which he'll now return.

He's going back to a country he left more than 20 years ago to face

terrorism charges. At his family's cafe, in the capital, his family

refused to speak to the media. A family friend maintains the evidence

against him is weak. I do believe that Abu Qatada will not be found

guilty in this case. So you think he could soon be a free man here?

hope that Abu Qatada will be free in Jordan. Abu Qatada is set toe stand

trial at the state security court, but unusually, his case will be

heard by civilian, rather than military judges. International eyes

will be upon Jordan's treatment of its high profile prisoner. The

Justice Minister is adamant there is a case to be answered.

Abu Qatada was charged with conspiracy to commit terrorist acts.

Once he's back and tried, this may shed more light on his role in

financing and plan planning terrorist acts.

And so the countdown to Abu Qatada's exit has begun. By tomorrow, he

should finally cease to be a problem for the UK.

Now, when it comes to the timings on all of this, we expect him to leave

Belmarsh jail in the next couple of hours, the flight will take off from

here overnight. By breakfast time tomorrow, he should be back in

Jordan. Jane. Thank you.

A Boeing 777 aircraft, has crashed on landing at San Francisco

International Airport tonight. The plane, operated by the South Korean

airline caught fire on the runway. There were more than 300 passengers

and crew on board. There is no official word about the

number of casualties, although local media are reporting that two people

have died. Here is our North America correspondent, David Willis.

Eyewitnesses say the Boeing 777 spun around on landing and then burst

into flames. It was very wobbly, seemed like it was just out of

control. Approaching the runway, all of a sudden we heard a loud boom. It

was within seconds, it was just completely hidden in a cloud of what

seemed to be a combination of smoke and dust. Aeriel shots of flight 214

show the airliner, shrouded in flame retardant, its tail missing.

One of the wings is also thought to have broken off on landing, along

with other parts of the fuselage. The cabin and the mid section of the

plane were engulfed in flames. The South Korean news agency reports

that there were 292 passengers on board at the time and 16 crew.

Amid the confusion, the emergency slides were deployed, a picture

posted on Twitter showing several passengers making their way to

safety, one aviation export saying it was a miracle that people

survived. The first step is for our first

responders to secure the scene. I want to thank the mutual aid

responders who supported the airport in this effort. This is an effort

that's still under way, we are still securing the scene, and addressing

the passengers on the flight. The plane operated by the South

Korean carrier Asiana Airlines set off from Seoul. The twin engined

Boeing 777 is one of the world's most popular long distance airliners

capable of carrying up to 300 passengers.

Flights into and out of San Francisco International Airport have

been cancelled and crash investigators are on their way to

the scene. Funerals have been taking place in

Egypt for some of the 36 people killed during demonstrations against

the ousting of President Morsi. Tonight, one of his rivals, Mohamed

ElBaradei, was named as interim Prime Minister after a meeting of

senior security officials. Quentin Somerville is in Cairo for

Quentin. Well, despite the fireworks and the

loud music still being played here in Tahrir Square, Cairo's been far

more sub Zeused today, Egypt absorbing the fact that 75 people

have been killed in the crisis in the past week. Today was a time for

reflection, a time to pause and a time to bury the dead -- subdued.

With a call to God, thousands of President Morsi's supporters again

stood and faced the military who'd removed their leader from office.

These protests were peaceful, but they brought with them a stark

reminder of the previous day's deadly violence. Here, they are

praying over the coffins of the men who were killed here yesterday.

They've just shown them to the soldiers behind me and these

protesters say they'll keep coming here until the man they regard as

their legitimate President, President Morsi, is freed.

It was a sombre display. But there was anger too.

Tomorrow, all the Egyptians will be against this coup. But, what I can

say actually is the act now is, the Islamic Revolution has been started.

This unverified amateur video is believed to show pro-Morsi

supporters at prayer yesterday east of the country.

Sowedenly, there's gunfire. It's not clear who's firing, but the

worshippers run for cover, many were wounded.

Despite the turmoil, the new government presses on. Mohamed

ElBaradei was tonight named as Prime Minister, a fierce critic of

President Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood have already rejected

his appointment. This was a day for Cairo to bury its

dead. At a city morgue, 14 awaited burial. This man said most were

killed by the Muslim Brotherhood. TRANSLATION: We are going to stand

and face terrorism. They are terrorists, not Muslims. They are

the enemies of religion. TRANSLATION: Each side in this fight

now has its own martyrs. Each said blames each other. Today's respite

from violence is likely to be short-lived.

Well, as we have known, this week's moved very quickly here in Egypt,

and the politics has been very fluid. While we have been on

Ayrtonite, the President's office has said that Mohamed ElBaradei is

not confirmed as Prime Minister. There's also been an announcement

that the Muslim Brotherhood will be able to take part in future

Parliamentary elections. What we are expecting tomorrow is a day of

further protests that will be the anti-Morsi camp once again, out on

the streets, they say trying to protect the revolution.

Thank you. A train carrying crude oil has

derailed in a small town in Canada causing massive explosions and a

huge fireball which destroyed dozens of buildings. At least one person is

known to have died. It's unclear how many are missing. It happened at

Lac-Megantic in Quebec. Much of the town centre was devastated by the

blast, forces up to 1,000 people from their homes. The train was

pulling more than 70 wagons, many filled with oil.

The Labour Leader, Ed Miliband, is pledging to make big changes to the

way his party selects its candidates. It follows a bitter row

about the involvement of the union Unite in the select thing of a

Labour candidate for Falkirk with allegations of vote rigging. Our

Political Correspondent, Ian Watson, is here with me. What is Ed Miliband

saying, Ian? As you know, he's been urged by the Conservatives and by

some in his own party to break or weaken the link with the Trade

Unions. In the Observer tomorrow, he's going to be saying it's time to

mend, rather than end the relationship with the Trade Unions.

After Falkirk, there has to be big changes. He'll be setting those out

next week. They could include, for example, a new code of conduct for

Labour candidates and a cap on the amount of people seeking to become

Labour MPs can spend. It tends to be union-backed candidates that have

access to cash that can curb the influence. In a broad sheet

newspaper, he Len McCluskey has chosen the Mirror to set out his

views and he's saying he's trying to get more working class MPs elected,

and he's warning Ed Miliband to step back from the brink of a ruinist

division. We can take it from that that the row is not yet over.

very much. Now, it's been a very big day of

sport. Let's get the latest on all the news. Damien Johnson joins me

from the BBC Sports centre. What a day? ! Thanks, Jane. The British and

Irish Lions have been celebrating their first series win for 16 years

after thrashing Australia in Sydney. They won 41-16. Victory provided

permanent vindication for the coach, widely condemned for dropping

popular former Captain Brian O'Driscoll. Dan Roan reports.

If they were tense ahead of the biggest game of their lives, the

Lions didn't show it, a pre-match stroll around Sydney's Olympic Park.

But after the match, came a reminder of how much this meant to so many.

The series decided to be won, the tourists needed a good start and it

was provided within two minutes. This was yet another game with

terrifying physicality, but with the Lions ford -- forwards winning

penalties, they were into the lead. Australia don't know when they are

beaten and this try in the last play of the first half signalled a

fightback. The Lions beared their teeth. The stage was set for man of

the series, Halfpenny. The full back who scored 21 of his own. Roberts

scored a fourth try to seal an unforgettable win. After two

gripping tests, the third had been a rout.

Coach Warren Gatland staked his reputation opt selection of a team

containing ten Welshman. Now he'd been vindicated. Australia had been

mauled, and new Lions legends made. These are the scenes the Lions fans

have been waiting 16 years for. When it mattered most, their team

delivered one of the all-time great Lions performances and finally, one

of the most cherished religions in sport has just sealed its victory

that it so craved. Bartoli won the women's singles at Wimbledon,

beating Sabine Lisicki in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4. At one point,

Lisicki broke down in tears during the match, but Bartoli kept her

concentration to claim her first Grand Slam title. Tomorrow, Murray

could become the first British winner of the men's singles since

1936. Andy Swiss reports. It was a day of one player's dreams

and another's nightmares. Marion Bartoli, against the fans'

favourite, Sabine Lisicki. After smiling her way to the final,

Lisicki succumbed to the most horrible stage fright. Bartoli

breezed to the first set, 6-1. And from there, Lisicki

disintegrated. She broke down in tears during the

second set. The most painful and public of meltdowns.

At 5-1 down, she belatedly found her form, saving match points and a

little pride. But it was too late. The runner-up six years ago was

finally champion but amid the celebrations, there were also

commiserations. I know how it feels, Sabine and I'm

sure, believe me, you will be there one more time, I have no doubt about

So we know the women's champion, the question now is who'll be the men's?

For the first time in 77 years, could he be British?

REPORTER: How you feeling Andy? Pretty good. This is Andy Murray's

final chance to fine tune his preparations ahead of what could be

a defining day for him and British sport. Once again, the hopes of a

nation rest on his raquet. Andy is a very well rounded player

and when he plays well, he should be getting to the semis and finals.

He's so good. But his opponent's pretty good too.

Djokovic was also on the practice courts. As top seed, he perhaps has

the edge, but Murray has the fans. Today, the feel-good factor was

already plain to see. The challenge now is to turn this wave of goodwill

Britain's Chris flume has claimed the yellow Jersey in emphatic style

in the Tour de France. He attacked on the final climb in the Pyrenees.

It was his first stage win on this year's tour and leaves him 51

seconds ahead of his team-mate. Flume's well placed to emulate Sir

Bradley Wiggins' triumph last year. That is all the sport for now, Jane.

Thank you very much. Big day tomorrow. That's all from us here in

the BBC newsroom tonight. A very Tomorrow will be even hotter. Not

off of us have been basking in sunshine. In the far north of

Scotland, it was cold and damp. The cloud still trailing across central

Scotland and Northern Ireland overnight. One or two fog patches in

rural areas where it will cool down, but a mild night and still warm in

the towns and cities. Any fog will soon vanish after dawn and it will

be a sizzling, sunny day. The cloud in Northern Ireland and Scotland

will tend to break up. Just the chance of the odd isolated shower

across the Pennines, but hardly worthy of a mention.

It will be warmer than today across the westernmost parts of Scotland.

Cooler than today along the East Coast but generally reasonable

temperatures in the sunshine. The themtures will be higher than today

in Wales and the south-west of England -- temperatures.

27 or 28 will be widespread and I wouldn't be surprised if to the west

of London, up through the Midlands, we could well reach 30 degree, too

hot for some I know. Looking further ahead, it looks as though cloud will

creep down the North Sea and could affect eastern counties of England
