:00:09. > :00:11.Labour is accusing the Home Secretary of breaking the

:00:12. > :00:13.ministerial code, in the row about alleged Islamic extremism

:00:14. > :00:18.Theresa May faces questions about the release of a private letter she

:00:19. > :00:21.wrote, criticising the Department of Education.

:00:22. > :00:24.Tonight, Ofsted is preparing to publish reports on the schools in

:00:25. > :00:28.Birmingham at the centre of claims of an Islamist plot.

:00:29. > :00:33.The former head of the army in Egypt, Abdul Fattah al-Sisi,

:00:34. > :00:37.has been sworn in as the country's new President.

:00:38. > :00:40.And England's footballers touch down in Rio,

:00:41. > :01:06.Labour's accusing the Home Secretary Theresa May of breaking the

:01:07. > :01:11.ministerial code, over her row with a Conservative Cabinet colleague.

:01:12. > :01:14.The Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said Mrs May had to explain

:01:15. > :01:18.her actions in the argument over alleged Islamic extremism

:01:19. > :01:22.in schools. Tonight, the regulator Ofsted is preparing to

:01:23. > :01:25.publish reports into 21 schools in Birmingham where - it's claimed -

:01:26. > :01:34.Our political correspondent, Alex Forsyth, sent this report.

:01:35. > :01:40.Two senior Ministers, two Conservatives and a split at the

:01:41. > :01:44.heart of Government. Another senior Tory did his best today to play down

:01:45. > :01:47.the scale of the rift between his colleagues. There's been a

:01:48. > :01:51.disciplinary matter within the Government, which the Prime Minister

:01:52. > :01:55.has dealt with in a very firm, clear way. There will be discipline in the

:01:56. > :01:59.Government. The main thing, as you said at the beginning of the

:02:00. > :02:03.programme, is the issue itself, it is tackling extremism in schools.

:02:04. > :02:08.It's led to another day of negative headlines in a row over alleged

:02:09. > :02:11.Islamic extremism in schools. The argument became public with a

:02:12. > :02:14.briefing to a newspaper from the Education Secretary, followed by

:02:15. > :02:17.retaliation from the Home Secretary's camp. Her Labour

:02:18. > :02:22.opposite number wants to know about the role of Theresa May herself. We

:02:23. > :02:26.so far have heard nothing from the Home Secretary, even though it looks

:02:27. > :02:29.clear that she has breached the Ministerial Code by writing and

:02:30. > :02:32.authorising the publication of this letter. The Prime Minister's

:02:33. > :02:37.responsible for enforcing the Ministerial Code. He needs to act.

:02:38. > :02:41.More than 20 schools in Birmingham have been investigated over the

:02:42. > :02:45.allegations of a hardline Muslim plot to influence how they are run.

:02:46. > :02:49.The results of inspection reports on the schools will be published

:02:50. > :02:54.tomorrow. Politically, Theresa May will be feeling glum, having lost

:02:55. > :02:58.one of her closest advisors. Michael Gove escapes with making an apology.

:02:59. > :03:07.Tomorrow, he could suffer more embarrassment when he faces MPs.

:03:08. > :03:11.Iain Watson is with me now. Labour is accusing Theresa May of breaking

:03:12. > :03:15.the Ministerial Code, potentially how much trouble could she be in as

:03:16. > :03:21.a result? What is interesting is we heard Michael Gove is facing MPs

:03:22. > :03:24.tomorrow. He has had to give a humiliating apology to the Prime

:03:25. > :03:28.Minister for his role in the row. He has a chance to redeem himself by

:03:29. > :03:32.clearing out five or six schools that were guilty of extremism when

:03:33. > :03:37.Ofsted reports tomorrow. Labour are keen to keep Theresa May in the

:03:38. > :03:43.firing line. They say that is the bigger prize. She wrote a letter to

:03:44. > :03:47.Michael Gove. It highlighted the differences over extremism. That

:03:48. > :03:50.letter stayed in the Home Office website for four days. The

:03:51. > :03:55.Ministerial Code says that Ministers are required to keep the privacy of

:03:56. > :03:59.their opinions they express in Cabinet, including in

:04:00. > :04:04.correspondence, that privacy must be maintained. They are suggesting that

:04:05. > :04:08.Theresa May didn't keep her views in confidence. She herself is going to

:04:09. > :04:12.be facing MPs on Tuesday. It is likely there will be pressure for

:04:13. > :04:16.her to say something sooner than that. The Prime Minister will see

:04:17. > :04:19.both Michael Gove and Theresa May tomorrow. So what Labour want to do

:04:20. > :04:26.is keep the pressure up on both of them. Thank you.

:04:27. > :04:29.The new President of Egypt has been sworn in,

:04:30. > :04:34.Abdel Fattah al-Sisi who's the former army chief,

:04:35. > :04:37.won 97% of the vote but the turnout was less than 50%.

:04:38. > :04:39.He's the second President to take office in two years, and inherits a

:04:40. > :04:42.divided nation and a crippled economy, as Orla Guerin reports.

:04:43. > :04:47.Abdul Fattah al-Sisi arrived under tight security.

:04:48. > :04:51.He's already been the target of two assassination attempts.

:04:52. > :04:54.He took the Oath of Office almost a year after

:04:55. > :05:01.ousting Egypt's first freely-elected President, Mohamed Morsi.

:05:02. > :05:04.Presiding officials said today that was not a coup,

:05:05. > :05:13.The new President has been embraced by leaders from

:05:14. > :05:17.He needs their cash for his crumbling economy.

:05:18. > :05:20.They need him to keep a tight grip on the Arab world's

:05:21. > :05:32.President Sisi said this was a unique moment in Egypt's history,

:05:33. > :05:36.the first peaceful democratic transfer of power.

:05:37. > :05:40.But his election victory was flawed according to some international

:05:41. > :05:47.observers because of a climate of fear and repression.

:05:48. > :05:52.Downtown in Tahrir Square, supporters were giving thanks

:05:53. > :06:00.TRANSLATION: Sisi, you are a Lord. You are good and respectable.

:06:01. > :06:08.Supporters gathered here hope this is the beginning of a new era.

:06:09. > :06:13.They believe that Sisi can deliver stability and growth

:06:14. > :06:17.after years of turmoil. They see him as their saviour.

:06:18. > :06:24.Experts worn that all this adulation could fade fast if he can't deliver.

:06:25. > :06:28.And there are real concerns about what direction he will take.

:06:29. > :06:32.Opponents believe Egypt's latest military strong man will follow

:06:33. > :06:41.the well-trodden path of authoritarian rule.

:06:42. > :06:43.A farmer is critically ill in hospital,

:06:44. > :06:48.after an accident in County Antrim which killed his eight-year-old son.

:06:49. > :06:51.Robert Christie, who's 52, and his son also called Robert,

:06:52. > :06:54.were overcome by poisonous fumes as they were mixing slurry

:06:55. > :07:01.Tens of thousands of Sikhs have been marching through

:07:02. > :07:05.central London to commemorate the storming of their holiest shrine by

:07:06. > :07:13.They've also been demanding that the deaths of thousands of Sikhs in

:07:14. > :07:17.rioting back in 1984 at the hands of Hindus be recognised as genocide

:07:18. > :07:24.following what they say was India's failure to prevent the killings.

:07:25. > :07:26.British police officers are preparing to search two new areas

:07:27. > :07:30.of the town in Portugal, where Madeleine McCann went missing

:07:31. > :07:33.seven years ago. They've spent the last week searching wasteland,

:07:34. > :07:36.close to the apartment where the three year old vanished and will

:07:37. > :07:50.Sunday mass in Praia da Luz, at the church where the McCanns prayed

:07:51. > :07:57.And just up the hill, on 15 acres of scrubland,

:07:58. > :08:03.They have now been hunting for seven days,

:08:04. > :08:12.Dozens of officers working long hours in the dusty Algarve heat,

:08:13. > :08:17.but so far, we understand nothing of significance has been found.

:08:18. > :08:22.This man was a senior detective in the Portuguese police.

:08:23. > :08:25.He says it was Scotland Yard officers who requested

:08:26. > :08:29.the search and they are now under enormous pressure to discover what

:08:30. > :08:36.TRANSLATION: If they don't find anything, we would feel sorry about

:08:37. > :08:40.that, but there will be a feeling in Portugal that it was the British

:08:41. > :08:43.who asked for this search and if they don't get results here,

:08:44. > :08:49.there could be a sense that all this has been for nothing.

:08:50. > :08:56.But the BBC understands several suspects who live here are likely to

:08:57. > :09:00.be questioned about Madeleine's disappearance very soon.

:09:01. > :09:03.In the next few days, officers will move on and begin searching

:09:04. > :09:10.As summer gets under way here, people are constantly reminded of

:09:11. > :09:31.In tennis, Andy Murray has appointed the former women's world number one

:09:32. > :09:33.The Wimbledon champion has been without a full-time coach since

:09:34. > :09:42.Ivan Lendl left in March, after a successful two-year partnership.

:09:43. > :09:44.The England football squad has arrived in Rio de Janiero,

:09:45. > :09:47.with just under a week to acclimatise for their opening

:09:48. > :09:52.The manager Roy Hodson is upbeat, saying team spirit was "very good".

:09:53. > :09:58.Our sports correspondent, Nathalie Pirks, reports.

:09:59. > :10:05.Every four years the routine is the same, blinking into the morning sun,

:10:06. > :10:08.the men tasked with carrying a nation's hopes finally enter the

:10:09. > :10:14.World Cup straight. This time, there is a calm about England. Despite

:10:15. > :10:18.some challenges in last night's final warm-up, they have come away

:10:19. > :10:23.from the training camp with one injury, to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

:10:24. > :10:28.Their manager says they are ready. The most important thing was that we

:10:29. > :10:33.are here, all in one piece and that the mood and our attitude, our

:10:34. > :10:38.optimism hasn't been dented at all. So, now it's talking over and

:10:39. > :10:42.playing begins for real. The security presence is high. The

:10:43. > :10:46.government is taking no chances. The England team are making their way to

:10:47. > :10:51.their hotel in Rio where the FA hope it will be the perfect balance of

:10:52. > :10:56.privacy and stimulation. The military were out in force for the

:10:57. > :11:00.team's arrival at the Royal Tulip Hotel. England fans' former

:11:01. > :11:04.reputations preceding them. Hotel. England fans' former

:11:05. > :11:10.ones that have arrived, it was a journey worth making. The World Cup,

:11:11. > :11:14.Brazil, nothing better than coming out here. It is the dream. I have

:11:15. > :11:18.always wanted to go to a World Cup. As soon as it was in Brazil, you

:11:19. > :11:23.have to do it. Players were quickly out on to their balconies to soak up

:11:24. > :11:30.the view their five-star hotel affords them. To their left, the

:11:31. > :11:34.less glamorous part of Rio, the biggest slum, perched on the

:11:35. > :11:38.mountainside. To their right, there's this. As England's aim is to

:11:39. > :11:42.be good tourists, this beach seems the perfect place for the players

:11:43. > :11:50.and coaches to take a stroll over the coming days and who knows,

:11:51. > :11:54.perhaps acquire some new amigos along the way!

:11:55. > :11:56.That's it for now. There's more throughout the evening
