Tebbit says he believes there may well have been a cover-up of child

:00:09.:00:13.

abuse claims among politicians in the 1980s. His comments come after

:00:14.:00:18.

it emerged more than 100 documents relating to historical abuse

:00:19.:00:21.

allegations have gone missing or were destroyed.

:00:22.:00:25.

Israeli police have released the cousin of a murdered Palestinian

:00:26.:00:29.

teenager, as six Jewish men are arrested in connection with his

:00:30.:00:34.

death. And Djokovic is the new men's

:00:35.:00:39.

Wimbledon champion, after a thrilling five-set final against

:00:40.:00:40.

Roger Federer. A very good tofrng you. The former

:00:41.:01:04.

Conservative -- good tofrng you. The former Conservative Cabinet minister

:01:05.:01:08.

Lord Tebbit says there may have been a cover-up of sex abuse claims in

:01:09.:01:13.

the 1980s to protect the establishment. More than 100

:01:14.:01:17.

documents relating to allegations of abuse are missing or have been

:01:18.:01:20.

destroyed. The Home Secretary, Theresa May, is to make a statement

:01:21.:01:23.

in the Commons tomorrow about her department's handling of the abuse

:01:24.:01:31.

allegations. In the 1980s, this famously brutal Westminster building

:01:32.:01:35.

was the Home Office. Back then, was there a cover-up behind these walls

:01:36.:01:41.

to conceal allegations of child abuse by powerful men? This morning

:01:42.:01:46.

Lord Tebbit told Andrew Marr he believes there might have been. It

:01:47.:01:49.

was more important to protect the system than to delve too far into

:01:50.:01:54.

them. Now, that view, I think, was wrong then and it is spectacularly

:01:55.:01:59.

shown to have been wrong because the abuses have grown.

:02:00.:02:04.

We now know that back then this man, the late Tory MP, Geoffrey Dickens,

:02:05.:02:09.

compiled documents containing potential evidence of abuse. He gave

:02:10.:02:14.

them to the then Home Secretary who said this week he would ask the

:02:15.:02:19.

police to consider the documents. Now the Home Office has revealed 114

:02:20.:02:24.

of them went missing at the time. They may contain evidence of whether

:02:25.:02:28.

30 years ago children were abused here, in what was once a South

:02:29.:02:31.

London guest house. The Government is asking for an independent

:02:32.:02:35.

assessment of a review it carried out last year. It is not enough for

:02:36.:02:41.

some. We believe there needs to be a thorough and independent inquiry,

:02:42.:02:45.

crucially, looking not just into what may have happened to these 100

:02:46.:02:51.

or so documents, these files, but look in more generally and drawing

:02:52.:02:57.

together the threads from all the various investigations.

:02:58.:03:03.

The scandal centred on Jimmy Savile has spawned a string of

:03:04.:03:08.

investigations across the UK. His crimes prompted other victims to

:03:09.:03:12.

tell their stories. In Northern Ireland, the historical ins

:03:13.:03:14.

Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry is focussing on children's

:03:15.:03:19.

homes, as is Operation Pallial, in North Wales. Operation garn ford is

:03:20.:03:24.

investigating alleged abuse at schools in Suffolk. Rochdale council

:03:25.:03:29.

is looking at allegations, involving among others the late Lib Dem MP,

:03:30.:03:40.

Cyril Smith. There is also Operation Fernbridge.

:03:41.:03:45.

A growing number of MPs are concerned that Westminster's darker

:03:46.:03:48.

secrets remain undiscovered because of a cover-up. It will bring

:03:49.:03:53.

politics into disrepute. This is a massive issue out there. I think the

:03:54.:03:59.

Prime Minister and the Home Secretary need to realise that and

:04:00.:04:03.

act accordingly. The passing of time makes all of this so much harder to

:04:04.:04:07.

unearth. The revelations of the Savile affair show it can be done.

:04:08.:04:13.

Well, it has emerged Leon Brittan has been interviewed by police about

:04:14.:04:21.

an historic allegation of rape. The Independent on Sunday said he was

:04:22.:04:25.

questioned under caution last month, but not arrested and he denies any

:04:26.:04:30.

wrongdoing. What more do we know about this? It

:04:31.:04:34.

is something of a coincidence this has come up in a week when Leon

:04:35.:04:38.

Brittan has been so widely discussed in relation to this. There is a

:04:39.:04:42.

swirl of journalists and politicians talking about these issues behind

:04:43.:04:46.

the scenes. I suspect that is how it has come up. We know the police are

:04:47.:04:52.

investigating an historic allegation of rape against a woman who says she

:04:53.:04:59.

was raped in 1967. She says, she told the police in 2012 this had

:05:00.:05:02.

happened. They are now investigating. We understand that

:05:03.:05:05.

the person who was interviewed in connection with this, last month,

:05:06.:05:11.

was Sir Leon Brittan. He was, as you say, interviewed under caution. He

:05:12.:05:15.

has not been charged. It is, if you like, the lowest level of a police

:05:16.:05:18.

investigation you could have. One thing to point out, we are talking

:05:19.:05:22.

about child sexual abuse cases on one hand. The police have made clear

:05:23.:05:27.

this woman was not under the age of 18 when she alleges was raped. It

:05:28.:05:32.

does seem as though this is a separate incident to the kind of

:05:33.:05:36.

child sexual abuse allegations that are swirling around Westminster at

:05:37.:05:41.

the moment. Thank you. Now, Israeli police have arrested a

:05:42.:05:45.

number of people in connection with the death of a Palestinian teenager.

:05:46.:05:49.

The body of Mohammed Abu Khdair was found in a forest near Jerusalem

:05:50.:05:53.

four days ago. There's been speculation his death was in revenge

:05:54.:05:57.

for the abduction and murder of three Jewish teenagers. This report

:05:58.:06:02.

contains some images you may find disturbing.

:06:03.:06:07.

Mohammed Abu Khdair was abducted and killed on Wednesday. A postmortem

:06:08.:06:11.

suggests that the 16-year-old was burned while he was still alive.

:06:12.:06:18.

His family, inest burned while he was still alive.

:06:19.:06:22.

him on Friday and called for justice. Israel's

him on Friday and called for arrested a number of Jewish

:06:24.:06:29.

suspects. TRANSLATION: I promise you that

:06:30.:06:33.

those who perpetrated this terrible crime, which is worth every kind of

:06:34.:06:38.

condemnation, will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

:06:39.:06:42.

Such murderers do not belong in Israeli society.

:06:43.:06:46.

Such murderers do not belong in To Mohammed's father, here accepting

:06:47.:06:51.

condolences, the arrests provide little comfort.

:06:52.:06:58.

TRANSLATION: The arrests don't make me happy. They burned my son.

:06:59.:07:01.

Nothing will bring him back. Nothing will bring

:07:02.:07:07.

Israel is also facing calls to explain what happened here - to

:07:08.:07:11.

Mohammed's 15-year-old cousin, Tariq, from America.

:07:12.:07:13.

Mohammed's 15-year-old cousin, These pictures appear to show Tariq

:07:14.:07:18.

being kicked and punched by the Israeli police during a

:07:19.:07:22.

demonstration provoked by his cousin's death. This afternoon,

:07:23.:07:29.

Tariq, his face still swollen, was released to serve nine days house

:07:30.:07:33.

arrest. I was watching the group of people. They came from the side of

:07:34.:07:37.

me and they hit me. They kept hitting me and then I fell asleep

:07:38.:07:41.

and then I woke newspaper the hospital. The US state -- then I

:07:42.:07:47.

woke up in the hospital. The US State Department is profoundly

:07:48.:07:50.

unhappy about what happened to this teenager. They want a speedy

:07:51.:07:54.

investigation. Israel's Justice Ministry says it is investigating.

:07:55.:07:59.

And Israel has further worries of its own.

:08:00.:08:03.

On Tuesday, the country buried three of its own teenagers, abducted in

:08:04.:08:07.

June. Israel has yet to find their

:08:08.:08:09.

killers. Officials in the United States have

:08:10.:08:19.

given details of the tougher security measures they want at some

:08:20.:08:22.

airports with direct flights to America. Security officers may ask

:08:23.:08:27.

passengers to switch on devices, such as computers and mobile phones

:08:28.:08:31.

and equipment that doesn't power up would not be allowed on board. The

:08:32.:08:39.

new procedures follow concerns that Islamist extremists are learning new

:08:40.:08:43.

ways to conceal bombs. Public sector workers will have to wait another

:08:44.:08:48.

four years for a real-terms pay rise. Matt Hancock said workers can

:08:49.:08:53.

not expect above inflation increases until 2018. More than one million

:08:54.:08:59.

workers, including teachers, council staff and firefighters are set to

:09:00.:09:03.

strike on Thursday over pay and pensions. Now, with little more than

:09:04.:09:08.

in ten weeks' time the people of Scotland will vote on whether or not

:09:09.:09:12.

to break away from the union. As they weigh up what to do, the views

:09:13.:09:14.

of business leaders are contributing to the debate. Our economics editor

:09:15.:09:20.

has been gauging opinion at some of Scotland's leading companies.

:09:21.:09:26.

Two horses for Scotland. Part of the UK or independence? Where is

:09:27.:09:33.

business placing its bets? These are the magnificent new sculptures that

:09:34.:09:38.

symbolise Scotland's confidence and they celebrate Scotland's industrial

:09:39.:09:41.

past, while pointing to the creativity, the determination, the

:09:42.:09:44.

strength that Scotland will need if it is to prosper in the future. What

:09:45.:09:51.

will that future be? Tony Banks is an entrepreneur who

:09:52.:09:55.

employs more than 1,000 people in Scottish care homes. I believe that

:09:56.:10:00.

Scotland will flourish with independence. To me, as an

:10:01.:10:03.

entrepreneur, independence makes sense. To be in charge of our own

:10:04.:10:08.

destinies and to shape the future, shape the policies and shape the way

:10:09.:10:12.

the nation will turn out. I see independence as a business

:10:13.:10:15.

opportunity of a lifetime. I see it as a way to lift the nation and

:10:16.:10:20.

ambitions and lift the wealth of the nation. That should trickle right

:10:21.:10:25.

down to everybody in society. Douglas is the Scottish chairman of

:10:26.:10:30.

one of the world's biggest banks, HSBC. Scotland is a rich country,

:10:31.:10:35.

there's no doubt about that. It is richer as part of the United

:10:36.:10:39.

Kingdom. I think to some extent you are swapping the certainty of

:10:40.:10:42.

300-odd years of history for a vision of the future, which is well

:10:43.:10:48.

articulated, but is only a vision of the future and is uncertain. How big

:10:49.:10:53.

a deal is this vote, not just for Scotland, but for the whole of the

:10:54.:10:57.

UK? I think it is huge. I think the UK represents one of the most

:10:58.:11:02.

successful unions ever in history. Economically, culturally and in

:11:03.:11:06.

every way. I think splitting it would be a tragedy.

:11:07.:11:11.

Scotland's proud history, depicted here in the largest tap pestry in

:11:12.:11:16.

the world, shows there's more to the independence decision than

:11:17.:11:19.

economics, money, however vital that may be. Ultimately it is probably

:11:20.:11:24.

more about who Scots think they are, or should be.

:11:25.:11:38.

Now, with all the sport we go over to Ore. It has been a busy weekend

:11:39.:11:48.

of sport. Let's start at Wimbledon and one of the most dramatic men's

:11:49.:11:54.

finals in recent history. Djokovic is the new champion in a match

:11:55.:11:57.

against Roger Federer, in is the new champion in a match

:11:58.:12:01.

which lasted almost four hours. After a fortnight of upstarts and

:12:02.:12:06.

brave hearts, here came the Old Guard, striding around Wimbledon

:12:07.:12:10.

like they always expected to be here on Sunday.

:12:11.:12:17.

If Federer displayed difference to Djokovic, the younger man, it

:12:18.:12:21.

stopped as soon as it began. There were rallies in the first set.

:12:22.:12:26.

Federer is fast approaching his 33rd birthday. In fact, sprinting towards

:12:27.:12:31.

it. Having lost the first set on a

:12:32.:12:35.

tie-break, Djokovic had to push himself, stretch further. The

:12:36.:12:39.

baseline is there. No grip there.

:12:40.:12:42.

Djokovic needed medical attention, but with the comfort of a break of

:12:43.:12:47.

serve, he held his nerve. 6-4. Match levelled. Djokovic took the third on

:12:48.:12:52.

a tie-break. In the forth, things, if possible, hit another level.

:12:53.:12:55.

Djokovic working and working and getting the break of serve. You

:12:56.:13:02.

sensed, he sensed would be decisive. Back and forth, break and counter

:13:03.:13:07.

break. Djokovic served for the match at 5-3.

:13:08.:13:12.

Grab hold of that cliff - Federer had survived.

:13:13.:13:16.

He won four games in a row to win the fourth set, 7-5. Sounds simple?

:13:17.:13:24.

It was astonishing. Into the fifth set. On they went.

:13:25.:13:28.

This match could not end in a draw. How could either be classed as a

:13:29.:13:32.

loser? After three hours and 56 minutes on

:13:33.:13:38.

court, in a match to match anything he had experienced, Roger Federer

:13:39.:13:42.

made a mistake. Novak Djokovic won. Both players had given everything.

:13:43.:13:49.

He's a magnificent champion and a great example of a great athlete and

:13:50.:13:54.

a role model for many kids. I respect your career and everything

:13:55.:13:56.

you have done. Thank you for letting me win today.

:13:57.:14:00.

Federer says he'll be back next year to try and win a record eighth

:14:01.:14:04.

titdle. Not the greatest ever, that is a matter of perspective. Well

:14:05.:14:11.

done dad and well done champ. Everybody wants a glimpse of the

:14:12.:14:15.

champion. The reaction here is for both players, for the match.

:14:16.:14:19.

To win here for the second time, great. To do it by beating Federer -

:14:20.:14:26.

that could not be better. And there was a British winner at

:14:27.:14:32.

the All England Club today, Jordanne Whiley and her partner took the

:14:33.:14:36.

women's wheelchair doubles title. Hundreds of thousands took to the

:14:37.:14:41.

streets in Yorkshire as Vincenzo Nibali won the second stage. Mark

:14:42.:14:46.

Cavendish has been forced out of the tour after dislocating his shoulder

:14:47.:14:50.

in a crash yesterday. As Yorkshire once again embraced the

:14:51.:14:55.

tour in their hundreds of thousands, the excitement was tinged with

:14:56.:14:58.

disappointment - the riders setting out for the second stage from York,

:14:59.:15:05.

with one very noticeable absentee. Mark Cavendish's crash yesterday had

:15:06.:15:10.

left him sprawled on the tarmac, nursing a dislocated shoulder and

:15:11.:15:14.

ligament damage. This morning, his worst fears were confirmed. His tour

:15:15.:15:18.

was over, finished before it had begun.

:15:19.:15:22.

I was in a lot of pain. I cannot move my shoulder. I kind of held a

:15:23.:15:28.

bit of optimism that it was swelling and would go down this morning. It

:15:29.:15:34.

is worse this morning. I'm gutted. I am majorly disappointed. It is about

:15:35.:15:39.

a mile away... Still the fans turned out. The hills often struggled to

:15:40.:15:44.

hold them. At the stage's highest point, some 60,000 somehow made it.

:15:45.:15:49.

The ride ires forced to thread their way through. In the sub burns of --

:15:50.:15:58.

suburbs of Sheffield, they went to a crawl. The steepest gradient

:15:59.:16:02.

suburbs of Sheffield, they went to a tour, bringing out the best of

:16:03.:16:02.

Froome. Everywhere in tour, bringing out the best of

:16:03.:16:09.

weekend the support for the tour has been overwhelming. Here thousands

:16:10.:16:12.

have been waiting all day to cheer the riders home.

:16:13.:16:21.

And the first man they saw, after a decisive break, Italy's Vincenzo

:16:22.:16:25.

Nibali. The leader's yellow jersey belongs to Nibali. After a weekend

:16:26.:16:29.

which he and the people of Yorkshire, will never forget.

:16:30.:16:37.

There was home success at Silverstone as Lewis Hamilton came

:16:38.:16:41.

from sixth on the grid to win the Grand Prix. He trails Nico Rosberg

:16:42.:16:47.

by four points in the Drivers' Championship.

:16:48.:16:52.

After 50 years of Grand Prix racing, Silverstone was in the mood to

:16:53.:16:53.

reflect. Silverstone was in the mood to

:16:54.:16:58.

Stars of the circuit's past joined other former champions in a prerace

:16:59.:17:05.

parade. Racing royalty watched by British royalty. Soon it was over to

:17:06.:17:10.

the currented kings of speed. Nico Rosberg is setting the pace in the

:17:11.:17:13.

championship. Lewis Hamilton needed to chase him from sixth on the grid.

:17:14.:17:18.

He flew off the line. Not everybody started as smoothly. Raikkonen

:17:19.:17:23.

crashed out on the first lap. Thankfully breaking no more than his

:17:24.:17:28.

far rarry. -- Ferrari. With Hamilton on the

:17:29.:17:33.

charge, the stage seemed set for a Grand Slam finish. Rosberg's car had

:17:34.:17:38.

other ideas. Rosberg, in big trouble.

:17:39.:17:43.

A broken gearbox ended his race after 29 laps, allowing Hamilton to

:17:44.:17:48.

cruise to the checkered flag. Hamilton will win the... After his

:17:49.:17:52.

mistake in qualifying yesterday, this was a flawless performance to

:17:53.:17:57.

blow the title race wide open. It is very mixed at the moment. To see the

:17:58.:18:03.

support we have here, I could see everyone cheering us on. Lewis

:18:04.:18:06.

Hamilton winning the British Grand Prix for the second time in his

:18:07.:18:10.

career and the first time he won it he went on to take the Drivers'

:18:11.:18:15.

Championship. He is four points behind Rosberg. Finally a British

:18:16.:18:20.

success story to celebrate this summer.

:18:21.:18:23.

That's all the sport for now. Back to you.

:18:24.:18:25.

That's it from us.
