:00:12. > :00:16.three years. Washington says meetings will start tomorrow.
:00:16. > :00:20.The break through came after the Israeli Cabinet agreed to release
:00:21. > :00:26.over 100 Palestinian prisoners. We will be live in Jerusalem and in
:00:26. > :00:31.Washington. Also tonight - the Government's official statistics on
:00:31. > :00:38.migration are dismissed as "not fit for purpose." The Home Office
:00:38. > :00:42.insists the system is robust. In Egypt, Muslim Brotherhood
:00:42. > :00:47.supporters defy the Government's call to abandon the tense standoff
:00:47. > :00:53.at a Cairo mosque. The driver of the Spanish train that derailed at high
:00:53. > :00:58.speed is questioned in court. The death toll now stands at 79.
:00:58. > :01:08.It is a fourth win in Hungary... Lewis Hamilton is victorious in

:01:20. > :01:24.Hungary. His first win of the Good evening. Within the last hour,
:01:24. > :01:28.there has been a major development in the Middle East peace process,
:01:28. > :01:33.with Israeli and Palestinian negotiators to take part in the
:01:33. > :01:37.first face -to-face talks for three years. The preliminary meetlings in
:01:37. > :01:40.Washington are scheduled to begin tomorrow, after six months of
:01:41. > :01:45.shuttle diplomacy by the US Secretary of State, John Kerry and
:01:45. > :01:48.the decision earlier from the Israeli Cabinet to release more than
:01:48. > :01:51.100 Palestinian prisoners. In a moment, we will speak to our
:01:51. > :01:56.correspondent in Jerusalem, but first our correspondent is live for
:01:56. > :02:00.us in Washington. How much of a coup is this for American diplomacy?
:02:00. > :02:05.think it is certainly an achievement. It is too early to work
:02:05. > :02:08.out what size of one it is. Bear in mind that, what six months ago,
:02:08. > :02:11.probably six weeks ago no-one in this town would have thought they
:02:11. > :02:15.would be hosting face-to-face talks between the Israelis and
:02:15. > :02:19.Palestinians. The White House, President Obama seemed uninterested
:02:19. > :02:25.in the problem. It has taken the commitment of John Kerry to really
:02:25. > :02:28.get this going. At the same time, there are grave doubts a lot of
:02:28. > :02:32.cynicism about how much common ground there is between the Israelis
:02:32. > :02:37.and the Palestinians. It is worth noting these are talks about talks.
:02:37. > :02:41.Simply getting them going at all is an achievement. So they will take
:02:41. > :02:44.place in the same room with the negotiators in Washington? That is
:02:44. > :02:50.what we understand. Tomorrow, we will see the beginning of what may
:02:50. > :02:55.or may not be a relatively long dance. They will be discussions
:02:55. > :02:59.about discussions. It is important to both sides to know where they are
:02:59. > :03:05.coming from and where they might be going together. So these are, as I
:03:05. > :03:09.say, talks about talks, but some talks are better than nothing.
:03:09. > :03:14.Also with us, from Jerusalem, is our correspondent there.
:03:14. > :03:17.There was an Israeli Cabinet meeting earlier on today. Part of the
:03:17. > :03:24.process that made this announcement possible.
:03:24. > :03:30.Yes. The Cabinet decided to release 104 Palestinian prisoners. Now, this
:03:30. > :03:37.was a very difficult decision for the Cabinet. The vote was split,
:03:37. > :03:41.13-7. The Israeli Prime Minister said that he understood this was a
:03:41. > :03:46.difficult decision because these prisoners, some of them have been in
:03:46. > :03:50.Israeli jails for up to 30 years for killing Israelis. He said this was
:03:50. > :03:54.an important step to take to try and start talks again with the
:03:54. > :03:57.Palestinians, especially given the challenges Israel face with the
:03:57. > :04:00.wider Middle East at the moment. difficult decisions for the
:04:00. > :04:05.Israelis. What about the Palestinians? What will be the key
:04:05. > :04:08.issues for them? Well, the Palestinians are very concerned
:04:09. > :04:15.about Jewish settlements being built in the West Bank. The Palestinians
:04:15. > :04:21.also have to worry about the divisions among themselves.
:04:21. > :04:24.President asbestos is -- President Abbas is emphatic in the West Bank.
:04:24. > :04:29.Gaza is controlled by Hamas. They will have their own internal
:04:29. > :04:34.divisions to get over with. And many Palestinians and many Israelis will
:04:34. > :04:37.tell you that they are very, very sceptical about the prospect of
:04:37. > :04:44.these talks making any progress t a all.
:04:44. > :04:49.-- progress at all. Thank you.
:04:49. > :04:52.Other news and the Government has insisted that its statistics on
:04:52. > :04:57.migration are accurate, after criticism from an influential group
:04:57. > :05:00.of MPs. The Public Administration Select Committee said the figures
:05:00. > :05:05.were little more than a guess and unreliable because they were based
:05:05. > :05:13.on too small a sample of cases. The Home Office has defended methods and
:05:13. > :05:20.said net migration is coming down. How many people cross the border to
:05:20. > :05:25.live in Britain, or to move abroad? Despite the technology and the
:05:25. > :05:28.bureaucracy, politicians cannot be certain. Today, MPs say the figures
:05:28. > :05:31.aren't accurate enough. They are asking questions about net
:05:31. > :05:35.migration. That is the difference between the number of people coming
:05:35. > :05:40.to live in the UK and those moving out, including people from inside
:05:40. > :05:46.and outside of the EU and even returning British ex-pats. Net
:05:46. > :05:50.migration was down by one-third, to 163,000, in the 12 months to June
:05:50. > :05:53.last year. But, because that figure comes from a survey, not from
:05:54. > :05:59.counting travellers, there's a margin of error, which means the
:05:59. > :06:04.true figure could be higher or lower by as many as 35,000 people.
:06:04. > :06:08.MPs say that is not good enough. The Conservative minister disagrees.
:06:08. > :06:11.office for Office for National Statistics, which is of course
:06:11. > :06:16.independent from the Government, and which compiles the statistics say
:06:16. > :06:21.they are fit for purpose and they produce robust estimates of the
:06:21. > :06:26.migration coming to and from the UK. Tories like him want to get the net
:06:26. > :06:31.migration figure down to below 100,000 - a goal that is opposed by
:06:31. > :06:34.the Liberal Democrats. This idea that you are pursuing a net
:06:34. > :06:38.immigration figure is very misleading. Among other things, the
:06:38. > :06:41.largest number of people counted as immigrants are overseas students.
:06:41. > :06:47.They are visitors. Labour admit they should have done
:06:47. > :06:50.more on this when they were in office. They too oppose the Tory net
:06:50. > :06:54.migration target. When the Government is then boosting that it
:06:54. > :06:59.has cut net migration by one-third, when actually it might not have
:06:59. > :07:04.fallen at all because it is within the margin of error, it just, I
:07:04. > :07:09.think it feels wrong. As for dealing with illegal immigration, Labour and
:07:09. > :07:14.the Lib Demes were united today, criticising these temporary mobile
:07:14. > :07:18.adverts, designed to encourage illegal immigrants to leave the
:07:18. > :07:22.country. Vince Cable said they were stupid and offensive. However they
:07:22. > :07:27.approach this issue, all sides know voters care deeply about the topic
:07:27. > :07:32.and expect the politicians to deliver results.
:07:32. > :07:36.Egypt is braced for a new phase in the standoff between the Army and
:07:36. > :07:40.supporters of the ousted President Mohamed Morsi w the interim
:07:40. > :07:45.Government pledging to deal decisively with unrest. A day after
:07:45. > :07:54.clashes at a mosque killed scores of people, the Muslim Brotherhood is
:07:54. > :07:59.refusing to abandon its sit-in They have been chanting his name for
:07:59. > :08:03.nearly a month, since their President Morsi was ousted. Their
:08:03. > :08:07.vigil goes on but with no progress regaining the power over Egypt that
:08:07. > :08:12.their man and the Muslim Brotherhood once held.
:08:12. > :08:17.Just a few streets away yesterday they battled against the security
:08:17. > :08:21.forces of the new Egypt. More than 70 of them died. The human rights
:08:21. > :08:24.organisation said these deaths were likely targeted killings. Britain,
:08:24. > :08:29.the United States and others have called on Egypt to stop the
:08:29. > :08:35.killings. Today, the country's Foreign Minister responded. We need
:08:35. > :08:39.to have a strong presence of the security forces, the police in
:08:39. > :08:44.particular, on the ground, on the etheter being able to manage the
:08:44. > :08:48.situation -- on the theatre being able to manage the situation you
:08:48. > :08:52.need to defuse violence. If you have people shooting each other, you will
:08:52. > :08:57.obviously have casualties. They lost control yesterday? It is difficult
:08:57. > :09:02.to control a crowd using weapons if you are trying not to use weapons.
:09:02. > :09:06.How will Egypt resolve these dark divisions? It seems the security
:09:06. > :09:09.forces weren't trying to clear out the protestors, they were trying to
:09:09. > :09:13.contain them. Now they say they will do just that. The protestors say
:09:14. > :09:20.they will not budge. So, we have stalemate w the world looking on,
:09:20. > :09:24.telling Egypt not to use violence. The millions who gathered in Tahrir
:09:24. > :09:29.Square want their revolution completed. Groups say it must happen
:09:29. > :09:34.peacefully. We are worried they will interpret this as a blank cheque.
:09:34. > :09:38.There are rules Governing how lethal force can be used. We are calling on
:09:38. > :09:42.the authorities to abide by these rules, no matter how many go into
:09:42. > :09:46.Tahrir Square and egg them on. Egypt is being built. The question
:09:46. > :09:50.is whether it carries millions of Islamists with it. That will be
:09:50. > :09:56.settled either with force or reason on these streets in the coming days
:09:56. > :10:01.and weeks. The driver of a Spanish train that
:10:01. > :10:10.derailed at high speed on Wednesday, killing 79 people, has appeared in

:10:20. > :10:25.Three days after his arrest 52-year-old Jose Garzon was escorted
:10:25. > :10:28.to face a judge in the nearby courthouse. He is formally under

:10:33. > :10:37.will decide whether the driver should remain in custody pending any
:10:37. > :10:42.charges. Earlier in the day, I had met this
:10:42. > :10:49.man and his wife, who live yards from the crash scene. A photographer
:10:49. > :10:55.captured this image and the man and a neighbour helped Mr Garzon to a
:10:55. > :10:59.clearing area. He recalled the same words spoken repeatedly. The driver
:10:59. > :11:07.was saying he wanted to die. He would rather be dead than see the
:11:07. > :11:12.damage he caused. He said he was going to fast. He said he oh -- he
:11:12. > :11:18.was going too fast. He slowed down, but it was too late. The events hang
:11:18. > :11:22.over this ancient religious centre, over those who pray for the the dead

:11:28. > :11:32.Watching recovery work at the crash scene this woman told me she is
:11:32. > :11:36.struggling to cope with what she witnessed. I cannot sleep. I want to
:11:36. > :11:41.forget it, but I can't. I saw it happen in front of me, but I
:11:41. > :11:45.couldn't do anything. It was horrible, horrible.
:11:45. > :11:53.The physical evidence will soon be gone. The events of last week may
:11:53. > :11:56.have left permanent scars on those touched by the tragedy.

:11:59. > :12:03.counterpart to express serious concerns about delays at the border
:12:03. > :12:09.between Spain and Gibraltar. Motorists crossing between the two
:12:09. > :12:15.have had to endure queues of up to six hours. The delays could be

:13:24. > :13:29.who communicates at their level. This papal visit may have been more
:13:29. > :13:34.about style over substance, but in the words of one Vatican insider,
:13:34. > :13:38.Pope Francis has electrified the Catholic Church and brought many
:13:38. > :13:43.young people back home. For the leader of a church that is
:13:43. > :13:50.trying to overcome so many internal problems the adulation has been
:13:51. > :13:54.almost unconditional. The Church here in Latin America is
:13:54. > :13:59.inclusively charismatic. For a moment, even the bishops forgot who
:13:59. > :14:04.they were. The verse "go and make desip
:14:04. > :14:09.approximates of all nations" has been a constant theme.
:14:09. > :14:15.The Church needs you, your enthusiasm and your creativity, Pope
:14:16. > :14:20.Francis told his young, attentive audience.
:14:20. > :14:24.Repeatedly Catholic youth have told the Pope to tell them to get up, go
:14:24. > :14:28.out and spread the word. As they joined together in pilgrimage they

:14:32. > :14:36.institution that does not deal with its young people die. That is the
:14:36. > :14:43.way it works. The Church has to address the young people, nurture
:14:43. > :14:47.their faith and spirituality, otherwise the Church will not exist.
:14:47. > :14:52.There were other young people marching, unhappy with the Pope's
:14:52. > :14:56.visit and the Church's stance on issues like abortion and gay rights.
:14:56. > :15:03.I am against the fact they are spending money with the people, the
:15:03. > :15:13.money from people, in this kind of event. It is bringing nothing for

:15:13. > :15:17.Sheer enthusiasm for Pope Francis diverted attention away from serious

:16:14. > :16:23.while the German struggled to fend off Romain Grosjean. Hamilton
:16:23. > :16:28.stopped for new tyres. Vettel's hopes evaporated. He slowed to
:16:28. > :16:34.seventh behind Button. He did Hamilton a favour, holding up
:16:34. > :16:41.Vettel for 12 frustrating laps. There were no such problems for
