Labour has accused the Home Secretary Theresa May of

breaking the Ministerial Code, over her row with a cabinet colleague.

The Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said Mrs May had to explain

her actions in the argument over alleged

This morning the Foreign Secretary tried to draw a line under the row.

This report from our political correspondent Alan Soady.

Two senior ministers. Two conservatives and a split at the

heart of government. Another senior Tory did his best today to play down

the scale of the rift between his colleagues. That has been a

disciplinary matter which the Prime Minister has dealt with in a very

firm, clear way. But the main thing, as you said, is the issue itself.

Tackling extremism in schools. as you said, is the issue itself.

Tackling extremism in But it has led to another day of negative headlines

over a row over alleged Islamic extremism in schools. The row became

public after a briefing to a news pauper -- newspaper. The Labour

opposite number wants to know about the role of Theresa May herself. We

have so far heard nothing from Theresa May herself, although it

looks clear that she has breached the ministerial code by writing and

authorising this letter. The Prime Minister needs to act. More than 20

schools in Birmingham have been investigated about the allegations

of a hardline Islamist plot to influence how they are run. A report

will be published tomorrow. Politically, Theresa May will be

feeling glum, having lost one of her closest advisers. Michael Gove

escapes with making an apology. But tomorrow he could suffer more

embarrassment when he faces MPs. Alan is here in the studio with me.

How bad is this for Theresa May? Undoubtedly she is wounded by this

whole episode. Add to that Labour's allegation that she broke the

ministerial code of conduct brings more pressure because she will be

asked again and again whether she personally authorised the leaking of

the letter that criticised Michael Gove, the letter that is at the

centre of this whole row. That said, Downing Street is making it clear

that it considers this matter to have been resolved. The only problem

is the cause of this argument has not been. Tomorrow, when there is

the release of the report into schools in Birmingham, if they

suggest there has been some extremist Islamist activity, that

could lead to a blame game. Would it be Michael Gove's department to

blame for not overseeing the schools properly, or Theresa May's

department for not tackling extremism? Thank you.

Security in Cairo was tight as Abdul Fattah al-Sisi arrived for his

presidential inauguration. He has been the target of two assassination

attempts in the past year. As he was sworn in, he pledged his loyalty to

the Republic and said he would respect the constitution. It is

nearly a year since Abdul Fattah al-Sisi ousted Egypt's first freely

elected president, Mohamed Morsi. Today, the deputy head of the

supreme Constitutional Court said that had not been a coup and Abdul

Fattah al-Sisi had been responding to the will of the people. He has

promised to restore security, but Egypt has been in political turmoil

since the Revolution three years ago. Most recently, it has seen mass

protests against the rule of Mr Sisi. The presidential supporters

have been gathering to celebrate his swearing-in. But Egypt is a divided

nation when nothing is certain. President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi is

Egypt's third leader in as many years. He secured a landslide

victory in the elections in May, but with a turnout of less than 50%. He

now faces huge challenges, not least, fixing the economy. With

thousands of opponents in jail, many Egyptians feel this could lead to

more authoritarian rule in the heart of the Middle East.

British Sikhs protest against the storming of the Golden Temple every

year, but never before in such numbers. Wearing what they call the

orange of the Seeker nation, they demand that their treatment by India

in 1984 be recognised as genocide. There was absolutely no need to

attack a holy place of worship. They could have shut the whole complex

down. Everybody would have come out. They chose the busiest day in the

They chose the busiest day in the sea calendar to walk straight at

genocide of attack. The Golden Temple of Amritsar is not just is

backpacking the building but the holiest of sleek shrines. The attack

on at that time, the temple was occupied by radicals demanding that

boundaries be redrawn to unite more of India's Sikhs and that they

should be given more autonomy. After a bloody two day battle from which

the media were largely excluded, the Indian army were in control of the

buildings and showing off weapons they had captured. A few months

later came retribution. The Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was

assassinated. It sparked outbreaks of rioting. Seek taxi drivers were

targeted and it is claimed that voting lists were used to identify

the homes of sleeks. The protest went from Trafalgar Square. It will

be as colourful as it was noisy. Three decades on, the anger of the

storming of the Golden Temple remains under him to. -- under

and his son, also called Robert, were overcome by poisonous fumes

to the farm yesterday afternoon. The boy was with his father when it is

thought they were overcome by poisonous fumes as they mixed

slurry. The Health and Safety Executive is carrying out an

investigation into what happened. Members of the local community have

been speaking of their shop. I know I have been receiving phone calls

already. People are very upset. We hope we can rally around the family

at this time. The farming community in Northern Ireland is well aware of

the dangers of working with slurry. In 2012, Ulster rugby player Nevins

Spence died along with his father and brother. They were all overcome

by fumes near their farm in zebra after attempting to rescue a dog.

Following their deaths, thousands of leaflets were distributed warning

farmers of the risks. This is another reminder of the dangers

faced by farmers and their families -- their farm near Hillsborough.

hotel in Rio is our sports Yes, we are expecting the England

players to arrived here in the next hour or so. England are one of the

most high profile teams at the World Cup. This they hope will be there

based for a long and successful campaign here in the bill. What will

they be able to do in their spare time you? There is plenty going on.

There is a beautiful beach across the road. There is an 18-hole golf

course. It is a marked contrast to four years ago in South Africa where

the players were cooped up in a remit training base. The FA will

hope they have struck a much better balance between privacy on the one

hand, and players being able to relax on the other. All eyes on

their first World Cup match against Italy in Manaus on Saturday.

can also be combined with wet and that is exactly what some of us are

going to have over the next few days. Lots of warmth, but watch out
