:00:10. > :00:15.on migration are dismissed as little more than guesswork. An influential
:00:15. > :00:18.group of MPs says the current system is "not fit for purpose". The Home
:00:18. > :00:20.Office defends it as "robust." In Egypt, Muslim Brotherhood supporters
:00:20. > :00:30.defy the government's call to abandon the tense standoff at a
:00:30. > :00:39.Cairo mosque. The driver of the Spanish train that
:00:39. > :00:48.derailed at high speed is questioned in court. The death toll now stands
:00:48. > :00:58.at 79. And Lewis Hamilton is victorious in Hungary, his first win
:00:58. > :01:07.
:01:07. > :01:10.A committee of MPs has dismissed official statistics on migration as
:01:10. > :01:14."little more than a guess", saying they are based on too small a sample
:01:14. > :01:17.to be reliable. The Public Administration Select Committee said
:01:17. > :01:22.the figures were primarily based on "random interviews" and not fit for
:01:22. > :01:32.purpose. But the Home Office has defended its methods, and says the
:01:32. > :01:33.
:01:33. > :01:39.Government is cutting net migration. Ross Hawkins reports.
:01:39. > :01:43.How many people across the border to live in Britain or to move abroad?
:01:44. > :01:49.Despite the technology and the bureaucracy, politicians cannot be
:01:49. > :01:52.certain. Today, MPs say the figures are not accurate enough. They are
:01:52. > :01:56.asking questions about net migration, that is the difference
:01:56. > :02:00.between the number of people coming to live in the UK and those moving
:02:00. > :02:07.out, including people from inside and outside the EU and even
:02:08. > :02:11.returning British expats. Net migration was down by a third to
:02:11. > :02:15.163,000 in the 12 months to June last year. But because that figure
:02:15. > :02:20.comes from a survey and not by counting travellers, there is a
:02:20. > :02:24.margin of error. The true figure could be higher or lower by as many
:02:24. > :02:31.as 35,000 people. MPs say it is not good enough. The Conservative
:02:31. > :02:34.ministered disagrees. The Office for National Statistics which is
:02:34. > :02:40.independent of the government says they are fit for purpose and they
:02:40. > :02:46.produce estimates we can rely on of migration to and from the United
:02:46. > :02:51.Kingdom. Tories like him want to get the net migration figure down to
:02:51. > :02:54.below 100,000, a goal that is opposed by the Liberal Democrats.
:02:54. > :02:59.This idea that you are pursuing a net immigration figure is
:02:59. > :03:04.misleading. The largest number of people counted as immigrants are
:03:04. > :03:08.overseas students. They are not immigrants, they are students.
:03:08. > :03:12.Labour admits they should have done more on this when they were in
:03:12. > :03:16.office but they also oppose the Tory migration target. When the
:03:16. > :03:24.government is boasting they have cut net migration by a third when it may
:03:24. > :03:28.be not falling at all, it feels a bit wrong. As for dealing with
:03:28. > :03:32.illegal immigration, Labour and the Lib Dems were also united today
:03:32. > :03:36.criticising these temporary mobile adverts, designed to encourage
:03:36. > :03:42.illegal immigrants to leave the country. Vince cable said they were
:03:42. > :03:45.stupid and offensive. However they approach this issue, all sides know
:03:45. > :03:50.voters cared deeply about the topic and expect politicians to deliver
:03:50. > :03:55.results. Ross is with me now in the studio.
:03:56. > :04:01.What did you make of the way the Business Secretary intervened?
:04:01. > :04:07.you ask voters what they care about, immigration is consistently in the
:04:07. > :04:10.top two or three topics. Politicians have to prove they are competent.
:04:10. > :04:16.Core voters will look at this round they will be perfectly happy about
:04:16. > :04:23.seeing these two sides disagreeing with each other. Vince Cable was
:04:23. > :04:27.also talking about another policy area, housing and a scheme unveiled
:04:27. > :04:32.by the Chancellor. Is there a divergences of opinion? There is to
:04:32. > :04:37.appoint. There is a new scheme which will be launched January where there
:04:37. > :04:43.will be mortgages to help people buy houses. Vince Cable said if it was
:04:43. > :04:47.not designed properly it could inflate the market and make ours is
:04:47. > :04:50.more expensive. The Treasury reject that. They are finalising deals at
:04:50. > :04:55.the moment. The Business Secretary will make sure he has the same
:04:55. > :04:58.plans. Thank you. Egypt is braced for a new phase in
:04:58. > :05:00.the standoff between the army and supporters of the ousted president
:05:00. > :05:04.Mohammed Morsi with the military being granted new powers to arrest
:05:04. > :05:07.civilians. The interim government is pledging to deal decisively with
:05:07. > :05:10.unrest, a day after clashes at a Cairo mosque killed over 78 people.
:05:10. > :05:20.The Muslim Brotherhood is refusing to abandon its sit-in there, as our
:05:20. > :05:26.correspondent Quentin Sommerville reports.
:05:26. > :05:34.They have been chanting his name for nearly a month, since President
:05:34. > :05:38.Morsi was ousted. Their vigil goes on but they have no power that the
:05:38. > :05:41.president and the Muslim Brotherhood once had. A few streets away
:05:41. > :05:46.yesterday they battled against the security forces of the new Egypt.
:05:46. > :05:52.More than 70 people died. Human rights organisations say these
:05:52. > :05:56.deaths were likely to be targeted killings. The United States and
:05:56. > :06:01.others have called on Egypt to stop the killings. Today, the country's
:06:01. > :06:08.Foreign Minister responded. We need to have a strong presence of the
:06:08. > :06:14.security forces. The security forces have to manage the situation without
:06:14. > :06:17.tragedies. To do that, you have to defuse the violence. If you will
:06:17. > :06:22.have people shooting at each other on both sides, they will have
:06:22. > :06:26.casualties. So they lost control yesterday? It is difficult to
:06:26. > :06:35.control a crowd using weapons if you do not have weapons. How will the
:06:35. > :06:37.Egyptian government deal with the battle on its streets? It seems the
:06:38. > :06:40.security forces were not trying to clear out the protesters, they were
:06:41. > :06:43.trying to contain them but now they say they will do just that. We have
:06:43. > :06:50.stalemate with the world looking on, telling Egypt not to use
:06:50. > :06:52.violence. The millions who gathered in Tahrir Square won their
:06:52. > :06:58.revolution completed but rights groups say it must happen
:06:58. > :07:03.peacefully. We are worried they will interpret this as a blank cheque.
:07:03. > :07:07.There are rules about how much force can be used. We are calling on the
:07:07. > :07:13.authorities to abide by the rules no matter how many people go to Tahrir
:07:13. > :07:16.Square and egg them on. A new Egypt is being built but the question is
:07:16. > :07:21.whether it carries millions of Islamist with it. That will be
:07:21. > :07:25.settled by force or reason on the streets in the coming weeks.
:07:25. > :07:29.The driver of a Spanish train that derailed at high speed on Wednesday,
:07:29. > :07:33.killing 79 people, has arrived in court to be questioned by a judge.
:07:33. > :07:42.Francisco Jose Garzon is accused of reckless homicide. Robert Hall has
:07:42. > :07:46.the latest from Santiago de Compostela.
:07:46. > :07:49.When this couple ran down their garden to the track-side at quarter
:07:49. > :07:53.to eight last Wednesday evening, they were confronted with scenes
:07:53. > :08:03.which remained seared in their memories. A photographer captured
:08:03. > :08:07.
:08:07. > :08:11.this image as neighbours helped a casualty to a clearing area.
:08:11. > :08:16.TRANSLATION: The driver was saying he wanted to die. He would rather be
:08:16. > :08:22.dead than see the damage he caused. He said that he was going too fast.
:08:22. > :08:29.He tried to slow down but it was too late. Francisco Jose Garzon has been
:08:29. > :08:32.moved from Santiago de Compostela's Central police station. He has
:08:32. > :08:36.appeared before an investigating judge who has two consider whether
:08:36. > :08:43.the driver should remain in custody pending any charges. Watching
:08:43. > :08:49.recovery work at the crash scene, this woman told me she is struggling
:08:49. > :08:57.to cope with what she witnessed. TRANSLATION: I want to forget it but
:08:57. > :09:01.I cannot. I could not do anything. It was horrible, horrible.
:09:01. > :09:05.physical evidence will soon be gone but the events of last week may have
:09:05. > :09:08.left permanent scars on those touched by the tragedy.
:09:08. > :09:11.Police investigating the death of a woman in Greater Manchester have
:09:11. > :09:14.charged her former boyfriend with murder, rape and assault.
:09:14. > :09:19.25-year-old mother of two Linzi Ashton was found dead at her home
:09:19. > :09:22.nearly a month ago. 28-year-old Michael Cope will appear in court
:09:22. > :09:25.tomorrow. British soldiers have been involved
:09:25. > :09:35.in a week-long operation to clear insurgents from Sangin in southern
:09:35. > :09:35.
:09:36. > :09:38.Afghanistan. The latest mission, which was kept secret until after it
:09:38. > :09:44.was completed earlier this week, was undertaken after Afghan military
:09:44. > :09:47.commanders requested assistance. Jon Brain reports from Kabul.
:09:47. > :09:53.It was the scene of some of the fiercest battles between UK forces
:09:53. > :09:58.and the Taliban. Why the time British troops left Sangin in
:09:58. > :10:02.September 2010, more than 100 had been killed. Now it has emerged that
:10:02. > :10:08.three years later they returned to help the Afghan National Army clear
:10:08. > :10:12.the area of insurgents. The Ministry of Defence insists that the role of
:10:12. > :10:15.British troops was limited to providing back-up to an Afghan led
:10:15. > :10:21.operation. But the fact their help was needed will raise further
:10:21. > :10:27.questions about the ability of the Afghan army to maintain security
:10:27. > :10:30.here once NATO combat troops leave at the end of next year. Coalition
:10:30. > :10:36.forces are training their Afghan counterparts in readiness for that
:10:36. > :10:42.moment. A top general believes they are ready. The Taliban began this
:10:42. > :10:47.year with certain stated objectives to break the confidence of the
:10:47. > :10:52.Afghan security forces. They did not accomplish any of that. But not
:10:52. > :10:58.everyone is so confident. Most Afghan MPs believe the security
:10:58. > :11:05.situation is getting worse. If the United States and British
:11:05. > :11:11.politicians say to Afghanistan we were torn, it will be a disaster in
:11:11. > :11:16.Afghanistan. The MOD can firmly Sangin operation is over, stating it
:11:16. > :11:26.is now for the Afghan forces to deal with the residual insurgency. Just
:11:26. > :11:30.
:11:30. > :11:33.how capable of those forces are meant to matter of intense debate.
:11:33. > :11:43.Over 3 million people have packed onto tobacco ban the beach in Brazil
:11:43. > :11:44.
:11:44. > :11:48.for the final mass of Pope Francis' visit -- Copacabana Beach.
:11:48. > :11:53.Millions of pounds worth of diamonds have been stolen in an armed robbery
:11:54. > :11:59.in Cannes in the South of France. Police said the jewels worth an
:11:59. > :12:04.estimated �34 million were stolen by a man from a jewellery exhibition at
:12:04. > :12:09.the Carlton hotel. Now time for the sports news.
:12:09. > :12:11.Lewis Hamilton said it was probably the most important win of his
:12:12. > :12:19.Formula one career. He took the chequered flag at the Hungarian
:12:19. > :12:22.Grand Prix today. His first as a Mercedes driver.
:12:22. > :12:26.Lewis Hamilton said he needed a miracle to win the Hungarian Grand
:12:26. > :12:31.Prix. Although he was starting from pole position for the fourth time
:12:31. > :12:41.this season, he was yet to win a race. Beating Sebastien battled to
:12:41. > :12:42.
:12:42. > :12:50.the first corner was vital. Hamilton surrendered his need when he stopped
:12:50. > :12:56.for a new tyres. He slipped to seven behind the significantly slower
:12:56. > :13:06.McLaren of Jenson Button, who did his former team-mate bather by
:13:06. > :13:07.
:13:07. > :13:11.holding up Sebastien Vettel. With Mark Webber out of the way, there
:13:11. > :13:17.was nothing to stop Hamilton cruised into the chequered flag. Brilliant
:13:17. > :13:22.job, Lewis, fantastic ride. Hamilton says it is one of the most important
:13:22. > :13:26.wins of his career, and he says anything is now possible but he will
:13:26. > :13:31.need another win to catch Vettel in the championship.
:13:31. > :13:40.Tom Daley came sixth in the diving Championships in Barcelona. He was
:13:40. > :13:44.in third but his penultimate dive saw him drop down the leaderboard.
:13:44. > :13:47.He has been struggling with a tricep injury.
:13:47. > :13:52.The Anniversary Games came to a close today with an International
:13:52. > :13:56.Paralympic meeting as some of the stars from last summer made their
:13:56. > :14:00.return to London's Olympic Stadium. Our sports correspondent was there
:14:00. > :14:04.for us. For the fans, one final trip down
:14:05. > :14:10.memory lane as the Olympic Stadium welcome to back its Paralympic
:14:10. > :14:15.heroes, among them, the poster boy Jonnie Peacock. Could he once again
:14:15. > :14:21.sprinted to 100 metres glory. But what followed was perhaps the most
:14:21. > :14:28.staggering race the sport has ever seen. Peacock could only watch as
:14:28. > :14:34.Alan Oliveira charged to a victory. He knocked two seconds of the world
:14:34. > :14:37.record. Peacock's lifetime best was only good enough for third. I think
:14:37. > :14:46.the crowd here are amazing. The support they give you. It is
:14:46. > :14:50.unbelievable. Words cannot describe. This was a day when once again
:14:50. > :14:54.Britain's passion for Paralympic sport was plain to see. Dublin
:14:54. > :14:58.amputee Richard Whitehead with another stunning surge to take the
:14:58. > :15:06.200 metres -- double amputee. Hannah Cockroft was unbeaten over 100
:15:06. > :15:10.metres. It was rounded off by David Weir, his crushing victory, the
:15:10. > :15:15.perfect ending to an unforgettable three days. And so the end of the
:15:15. > :15:19.Anniversary Games and for this stadium, the end of the nearer. It
:15:20. > :15:26.will be closed for redevelopment until 2015. It is for 2012 that it
:15:26. > :15:31.will always be remembered. Germany's women are European
:15:31. > :15:37.champions once again after they beat Norway 1-0. The winning goal came in
