first British men's champion since 1936.

The waiting is over. He beat the world number one, Novak

Djokovic, in straight sets. After a three-hour match, played in

sweltering heat, he secured a place in British sporting history.

Everyone else wanted to see a British winner at Wimbledon, so, I

hope you guys enjoyed it. I tried my best!

The radical Muslim preacher, Abu Qatada, is deported from Britain,

ending an eight-year legal battle to send him to Jordan. The Church of

England formally apologises for child abuse carried out by Anglican

priests. And the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, explains how he wants to

Murray is the new Wimbledon champion. The first British men's

winner since Fred Perry. He beat the world number one, Novak Djokovic, in

straight sets. The match lasted three hours. According to the

Wimbledon's referee office was played at times in temperatures of

It was the moment 77 years of waiting ended in wonder. Andy

Murray, Wimbledon champion. The words he and a nation had yearned

for so much for so long. Earlier, Murray had emerged to

fevered expectations in sweltering temperatures. Nearly 50 Celsius on

court, but his nerves were ice cool. Novak Djokovic was being out played.

First set to Murray. Was it the first step to glory? Not if Djokovic

could help it, as the top seed suddenly found his touch. From 4-1

up in the second set, Murray brought him crushing down. Roared on and

roared back, to go two-sets up. A Centre Court - nearly there. Could

he break the shot one more time? This was the glorious answer.

He's got it! Murray now serving for the title and in a flash three

Championship Points. Three times Djokovic clung on. What

nerve-shredding tension. At tea time, on a perfect summer's

afternoon, 77 years of pain were sent clattering into the net.

The waiting is over! No, you weren't dreaming -

unforgettably, almost unbelievably, Murray had done it. Andy Murray is

the Wimbledon champion. And just listen to what it means to

these fans. They have waited so long for this moment and now finally,

incredibly, it has happened. Andy Murray - the hero of Wimbledon.

champion was soon clambering up to embrace his team and especially his

mum, before collecting that most elusive of trophies. It feels

slightly different to last year. You know, last year was one of the

toughest moments of my career, so to manage to win the tournament today,

everyone else wanted to see a British winner at Wimbledon, so, I

hope you guys enjoyed it. I tried my best. And so the decades of

disappointment have turned to glittering triumph of. A

breathe-taking day for Andy Murray. An unforgettable one for British

sport. Well, the victory follows last

year's Olympic gold medal and US Open title. Today's victory marks

the pinnacle of his career. Our sports editor looks at how far he

has come and where he might go next. It was the moment we thought we

would never see - a British man clutter cluttering -- clutching

British's sports most elusive trophy. Generation after generation

has passed through this place without tasting the success. Andy

Murray is savouring it tonight. It is incredible. In the history

books, it has been 77 years since a British male player won Wimbledon.

For me, it was his hunger, his desire, his determination to run

down balls and keep passing shots when you need them. It is an amazing

day for Andy. An amazing day for British sport. This tells you how

long it has been and how the game has changed since Fred Perry

dominated Centre Court back in 1936. For so many years, Fred Perry has

cast a long shadow over tennis and British sport. Not any longer. Andy

Murray's victory has not only ended that agonising wait, it has

guaranteed his place in history. The road to success has not been easy.

He broke into the top ten back in 2007. It was a long wait for a Grand

Slam title, as he lost four finals, including Wimbledon last year.

Olympic gold was the break through in 2012, with victory against

Federer on Centre Court. In September, his first Grand Slam

title at the US Open. I will be playing in Wimbledon in four years,

maybe senior and junior in two years. His journey from the small

Scottish town of Dunblane to the top top of the tennis establishment is

incredible. His success, a product of his and his family's

determination. It is a story, if you consider where he has come from and

what he's had to come through and the tragedy that happened in

Dunblane, in the school. You cannot imagine the inner strength he has to

have to be where he is today. You should be proud of him. Whatever

happens next in this remarkable script, Andy Murray has earned

legendry status in British sport. The whole country will hope this

becomes a very familiar victory parade.

Well, David Bond joins us now. How significant is this victory in

British sporting history? Well, it is enormous. The significance of

sporting moments in historical terms is sometimes overplayed. They are

given far too much significance or importance, but not today, not here

with Andy Murray. That 77 year-wait, of course finally coming to an end.

Comparison with big sporting moments are sometimes a bit futile. This has

to rank up there with England's World Cup triumph of in 1966, the

rugby triumph of in 2003 and of course the golden summer last year

in the Olympics and Paralympics. In some ways what he's done has gone

beyond that, mainly because the wait has been so long, but also because

of that embarrassment of year after year, hosting the premier tennis

tournament in the world but not having a real contender, but not any

more, Andy Murray has ended that. The question is, now having done

that how much further he can go? Thank you. For full highlights of

the match, here on BBC One, after this bulletin. Other news now and

the radical Muslim preacher Abu Qatada has appeared in court in

Jordan, accused of terrorism offences. He was deported from

Britain last night, bringing to an end an eight-year legal battle by

Governments to send him back to his home country.

It was the dead of night when he finally departed. Abu Qatada boarded

the specially-chartered plane for his one-way journey out of the UK,

leaving behind his wife and his children who were born here. And

then his final look at the country, where he had lived for 20 years.

Although half of that time had been spent in custody.

Just before 3am, he was on his way. A picture to have the politicians

cheering. It is an issue, that like the rest

of the country, has made my blood boil that this man, who has no right

to be in our country, who is a threat to our country and it took so

long and was so difficult to deport him. After arriving in Jordan, the

high-profile prisoner was quickly on the move. He was taken to the court

security court -- country's security court in Amman to be charged with

terrorism offences. There to support him, relatives who has not seen him

since he left for his new life in the West. His spirits are high and

the officials are good people. They may allow him bail after a few days.

It was in the late 1990s that Abu Qatada is said to have conspired. He

is accused of being involved in two plots aimed at western interests in

Jordan. In one, this leading hotel in the capital, was amongst the

targets. A planned visit by the Pope was also on the list. The terrorist

cell was being monitored and the plot was thwarted in an

international operation involving the FBI. They were talking about

bodies being in bags. So, lots and lots of bodies, lots and lots of

dead people. That is what they wanted to accomplish. Now he has

left the UK, ministers want to avoid a repeat of the Abu Qatada case. His

deportation was originally blocked by the European Court. The Home

Secretary, who led the drive to remove him, says Britain has to

decide whether it wants to withdraw from the European kon European

Convention on Human Rights. I have been clear that I think nothing

should be off the table in doing that work. And we need to ensure

that in future we don't see the situation where it is taking us so

long to deport somebody who is considered to be a threat to the UK.

But some are asking whether this country's relationship with the

European Court should be reviewed simply because it took so long to

deport Abu Qatada. For just one case like this, I think one should not

draw sweeping policy conclusions about Britain's relationship with

the rest of Europe, or with International Human Rights Law.

Abu Qatada may have finally left for good, but the fallout from his case

will go on. Police in Canada searching the crash

site of a runaway train say 40 people are missing. It was parked,

without a driver, carrying crude oil, when it began to roll down

hill, leaving the tracks and exploding in a town in Eastern

Quebec. So far, five people have been confirmed dead. Supporters and

op popts of Mohamed Morsi have been holding rival mass protests in

Cairo. Those backing him say their demonstrations will continue until

he is reinstated. In Tahrir Square, tens of thousands expressed their

support for the military's decision to remove him from office.

Now, the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, is promising significant changes in

his party's relationship with the unions. He will make a major speech

on the subject this week. It follows a row with Unite about the procedure

for choosing a candidate to stand in the Falkirk constituency. Ed

Miliband says he wants to mend the relationship between his party and

the unions, not end it. But, he believes big changes are needed for

the way Labour selects parliamentary candidates. This follows the bitter

battle with the Unite trade union, which is accused of trying to get

its favourite candidate selected by alleged vote rigging. There'll be a

coated of conduct for people who -- there'll be a Code of Conduct for

people who want to become MPs. We need to have a cap on expenditure

in selection processes. We want to have a situation where an ordinary

person can actually get selected to stand for Parliament or to stand for

a position in the party without having to have financial backing,

either because they are independently wealthy or because

they are backed by a trade union. This week, Ed Miliband will announce

further reforms to the way that Labour chooses its future MPs.

Today, the leader of the yult yut trade union -- Unite trade union

warned him to step back from the brink of the division. Some say that

division will be necessary and unavoidable if Ed Miliband wants to

become the next Prime Minister. in no doubt the leader of Unite

wants to impose an ideological direction on leaders of the party as

it did in the 1970s and 1980s. That is why this is a political struggle.

Tonight, the Conservative Party chairman has written to Ed Miliband,

denies any wrongdoing. Ed Miliband faces a difficult political

balancing act. He has to change the relationship with union leaders

without upsetting the millions of members and without losing millions

of pounds in donations. The Church of England has made a

formal apology for child abuse committed by members of its clergy.

The General Synod, meeting in York, endorssed the report -- endorsed the

It was a of chaesenned synod that met this morning, about to admit its

failure to protect children and vulnerable people in the care of the

Church. There are also, just from the statistics, people in this

chamber who have abused. In a debate, speaker after speaker

acknowledged the unendurable harm caused by abuse and the way the

Church condemned victims to suffer rather than to seek to heal them.

We cannot do anything other than own up to our failures. We were wrong.

Our failures were sin, just as much as the perpetrators sinned.

Church's apology expresses regret in An inquiry into abuse in the

Chichester dioceses, reported last year what it called an appalling and

dysfunctional record in dealing with allegations of abuse. It followed

the case of Roy Cotton and Colin Pritchard, priests allowed to abuse

children in the 1970s and 1980s, despite evidence of the danger they

posed. The synod said the one-year limit should be lifted and Bishops

given the power to suspend clergy who have been credibly accused of

it. Survivors say only an independent inquiry, which uncovers

the full extent of abuse in the Church, can heal their pain.

Church is incapable of policing itself. It has demonstrated that

today by its naivety and the inappropriate response to survivors.

They don't get it. The synod embarked today on a long road of

reform, saying the abuse in Chichester would shame the Church

for years to come. More now on our main story - Andy

Murray's victory at Wimbledon. Nowhere was it celebrated more

loudly, nor with a greater sense of pride than in Dunblane, his Holmes.

Our Scotland reporter was there. This report contains some flash

photography. They dreamed, they hoped, they prayed and someone was

How do you feel? Oh, brilliant! Worth travelling up here, eight

hours for! He tried to come back. Rule number

one -- - world number one, not for long. Absolute fabulous. He is a

credit to Dunblane, he really is. We are pleased for him. For Dunblane,

this taste tastes so sweet. There is sheer delight here that their man,

their local hero has made his mark on history. Andy Murray's family

here are also thrilled. We are just so proud of him, aren't

we? We couldn't be more proud of him and it all started here as a

three-year-old. Dunblane has come through so much.
