:01:50. > :01:54.Good afternoon. Welcome to the BBC News at One. It took him five sets
:01:54. > :01:58.and almost five hours, but Andy Murray has finally won his first
:01:58. > :02:03.Grand Slam title, becoming the first Briton to do so since Fred
:02:03. > :02:07.Perry in 1936. Murray beat Novak Djokovic in New York in a thrilling
:02:07. > :02:11.US Open final last night. Afterwards, Murray, who has lost
:02:11. > :02:16.his four previous Grand Slam finals, said relief was the best word to
:02:16. > :02:21.describe his feelings. Andy Swiss joins us from New York.
:02:21. > :02:25.Yes, people here in New York really just waking up after a night of
:02:25. > :02:30.quite extraordinary drama. A five- hour emotional rollercoaster, but
:02:30. > :02:34.what a result for Andy Murray. For so long, the nearly man of
:02:34. > :02:39.international tennis, could he finally win that elusive Grand Slam
:02:39. > :02:44.title? Last night he did in unforgettable style!
:02:44. > :02:49.It was the moment a sporting dream was finally fulfilled. History is
:02:49. > :02:56.made at the US Open! Andy Murray had waited his life for this,
:02:56. > :02:59.British tennis had waited 76 years. After coming so close so many times,
:02:59. > :03:05.the challenger was finally a champion. An emotional moment for
:03:05. > :03:10.him and for all who followed his career. Oh my goodness! He's done
:03:10. > :03:14.it! He's done it the hard way! He's beaten Novak Djokovic, the
:03:14. > :03:21.defending champion, the second best player in the world over five sets,
:03:21. > :03:26.over four hours and 54 minutes! my, what a battle it was. The first
:03:26. > :03:30.set lasted an hour-and-a-half. Murray clinching a marathon tie-
:03:30. > :03:35.break. Djokovic seemed to be wilting, Murray was soon two sets
:03:35. > :03:40.up. Victory within his grasp. But Djokovic had other ideas. Back came
:03:40. > :03:47.the defending champion. It was into a deciding set. An earlier Murray
:03:47. > :03:51.might have buckled, but not this one. Murray raced to victory. A
:03:51. > :03:57.stunning performance, at last he had done it! When I realised I had
:03:57. > :04:01.won I was obviously a bit shocked. I was very relieved and was very
:04:01. > :04:06.emotional for a few minutes afterwards. It was an incredible
:04:06. > :04:11.match. An unforgettable night here and an unforgettable night for Andy
:04:11. > :04:15.Murray. At last he is a Grand Slam Champion. What a moment for him and
:04:15. > :04:19.for British sport. It rounded off a remarkable summer
:04:19. > :04:23.for Murray in which he also won Olympic gold. A feat which perhaps
:04:23. > :04:27.gave him the belief he needed. Winning that gold medal at
:04:27. > :04:33.Wimbledon for the Olympics and reaching the final has been huge in
:04:33. > :04:37.the building of his confidence and success. He beat Roger Federer for
:04:37. > :04:41.the first time over a five-set final and the way he performed in
:04:41. > :04:46.the Wimbledon final, that really should have convinced him the way
:04:46. > :04:50.he needed to play if he was going to take home one of these Slams.
:04:51. > :04:55.one of sport's longest waits is finally over. For the first time
:04:55. > :05:00.since Fred Perry in 1936, a British man has lifted one of tennis's
:05:00. > :05:04.ultimate prizes, this unforgettable sporting summer now has the very
:05:04. > :05:08.happiest of endings. Yes, an incredible night for Andy
:05:08. > :05:13.Murray. A lot of people are asking could this be the first of many
:05:13. > :05:16.Grand Slam titles for him? Could he challenge the domination of Roger
:05:16. > :05:21.Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic? For now, those questions
:05:21. > :05:24.can wait because you suspect Andy Murray will want to soak up this
:05:24. > :05:27.extraordinary achievement. Thank you very much. Andy Murray
:05:27. > :05:31.grew up in Dunblane and last night thousands of people in his hometown
:05:31. > :05:34.stayed up into the early hours to watch him become the first Scot
:05:34. > :05:38.ever to win a Grand Slam. They celebrated long into the night.
:05:38. > :05:48.Lorna Gordon reports now from Dunblane.
:05:48. > :05:58.Oh! It was a night of tension. And in Dunblane, little sleep for those
:05:58. > :06:00.
:06:00. > :06:03.who stayed up to watch Andy Murray triumph. CHEERING Andy Murray is a
:06:03. > :06:06.great champion. Nobody deserves that more than he does. It is great
:06:06. > :06:15.for Dunblane and better for Scotland. This has been a long time
:06:15. > :06:19.coming and now we can all relax and just enjoy his tennis from now on.
:06:19. > :06:25.The 25-year-old's family are close. And the five-set final was nerve-
:06:25. > :06:30.wracking for his grandparents. couldn't believe it for a bit. It
:06:30. > :06:34.didn't quite - to me, I kept saying, "He's done it!" It was the same at
:06:34. > :06:42.the Olympics. I was in floods of tears at the Olympics. I was so
:06:42. > :06:47.proud of him. Dunblane has a gold postbox marking that success. This
:06:47. > :06:53.usually understated town and its people today found other ways to
:06:53. > :06:58.celebrate. On the courts where Andy Murray started playing tennis, he
:06:58. > :07:02.has proved an inspiration. It's really good because we obviously
:07:02. > :07:06.want him to win and he will win a lot more. Would you like to be a
:07:06. > :07:11.professional tennis player? Definitely. What does Andy Murray
:07:11. > :07:16.mean to you then? He is a big inspiration. Through the years of
:07:16. > :07:21.toiling and the occasional tears, Dunblane's always been proud of
:07:21. > :07:29.their tennis sensation. And they are convinced this is the start of
:07:29. > :07:33.even more success to come. Stay with us because later we will
:07:33. > :07:37.be talking to Tim Henman about Andy Murray's success and what it means
:07:37. > :07:40.for British tennis. The rest of the news. Labour has
:07:40. > :07:45.demanded an independent inquiry to look at the marking of this
:07:45. > :07:49.summer's GCSEs and the exam regulator Ofqual. Leaked letters
:07:49. > :07:54.show the regulator ordered an exam board to make changes so that it
:07:54. > :08:00.was harder to earn a C grade in English. Ofqual said it acted
:08:00. > :08:04.properly and has a duty to maintain standards.
:08:05. > :08:09.Exams are stressful enough, but this year's GCSE English results
:08:09. > :08:13.caused a storm. Furious head teachers said the exam boards
:08:13. > :08:17.raised the bar half-way through the year making it harder for pupils
:08:18. > :08:21.taking the exam in June than for those who had sat it in January.
:08:21. > :08:25.MPs today questioned the head of the exams watchdog, wanting to know
:08:25. > :08:29.how it could defend the marking of one set of pupils more harshly.
:08:29. > :08:33.This is about the future of young people who sat that particular exam
:08:33. > :08:36.this year who might not have achieved the A they need for their
:08:37. > :08:41.future university prospects and they haven't achieved the C they
:08:41. > :08:51.needed. So you are acknowledging it is not fair that some people got
:08:51. > :08:52.
:08:52. > :08:56.lucky and it was tough on the rest? We have had a careful look at June
:08:56. > :09:00.awarding. One exam board initially resisted attempts by Ofqual to
:09:00. > :09:05.downgrade the June papers. Ofqual said it wanted Edexcel to produce
:09:05. > :09:11.outcomes that are closer to predictions. Edexcel replied, "Our
:09:11. > :09:14.award is is a fair award and we do not believe a further revision is
:09:14. > :09:19.justified." Edexcel did comply and today the head of Ofqual said their
:09:19. > :09:24.results had been significantly out of line with other exam boards.
:09:24. > :09:28.None of this is of comfort to this man, head of a Leeds school which
:09:28. > :09:33.saw its English results drop. He said the letters show how changes
:09:33. > :09:39.were made just two weeks before the results came out. We can clearly
:09:39. > :09:43.see now that Ofqual itself as late as August 9th was pressurising, I
:09:43. > :09:47.would say bullying, awarding bodies into changing the grade boundaries
:09:47. > :09:53.right at the last minute to achieve a particular forecast target,
:09:53. > :09:57.despite the fact that senior examiners were saying, "We must not
:09:57. > :10:01.do this." Ofqual stands by its actions but Labour wants an inquiry.
:10:01. > :10:05.While there is to be no regrading of papers in England, the Welsh
:10:05. > :10:08.Government has ordered the Welsh exam board to remark the English
:10:08. > :10:15.language paper. That could mean several hundred Welsh candidates
:10:15. > :10:19.getting higher grades than English candidates who took the same exam.
:10:19. > :10:22.Three people have died in a coach crash in Surrey as they travelled
:10:22. > :10:26.back last night from a music festival on the Isle of Wight. A
:10:26. > :10:29.number of others have been seriously injured. The coach
:10:29. > :10:32.crashed into a tree near the Hindhead Tunnel on the A3. No other
:10:32. > :10:38.vehicles are thought to have been involved. Daniela Relph is at the
:10:38. > :10:42.scene for us now. The coach now sits on the other
:10:42. > :10:45.side of that red-and-white tent that is behind me here. The police
:10:45. > :10:49.officer leading the investigation has described it as a harrowing
:10:49. > :10:55.scene and says it is one that will have had a devastating impact on
:10:55. > :11:00.all of those on board last night. From above, the back end of the
:11:00. > :11:06.white coach can be seen. Its front section is embedded in the oak tree
:11:06. > :11:09.it hit. The police will only say the coach was travelling at speed
:11:09. > :11:15.on a clear carriageway. Of the three people killed, the bodies of
:11:15. > :11:19.two remain inside. One of them is the driver. And removing them is
:11:19. > :11:22.now the police priority. As you can imagine, the extraction of the
:11:22. > :11:27.bodies from the coach is a very delicate operation and something we
:11:27. > :11:32.should take a lot of care over to preserve their dignity and also to
:11:32. > :11:37.make sure that we do not compromise the investigation. The important
:11:37. > :11:41.thing is the dignity of the people that are involved. The coach
:11:41. > :11:45.crashed just before midnight close to the Hindhead Tunnel. Those on
:11:45. > :11:47.board had spent the weekend at a music festival on the Isle of Wight.
:11:47. > :11:51.The police say conditions on the road were good and the weather
:11:51. > :11:56.would not have been a factor. Those injured partyed were taken to a
:11:56. > :12:00.number of local hospitals. The most seriously hurt came here to
:12:00. > :12:07.Southampton General and to London. The emergency services say a number
:12:07. > :12:11.of people have lost limbs. The coach belonged to Merseypride. The
:12:11. > :12:15.company said it is shocked at what has happened and is helping Surrey
:12:15. > :12:20.and Merseyside Police. The police expect to be at the scene on the A3
:12:20. > :12:26.for the rest of the day. Such was the force of the impact, they say
:12:26. > :12:30.moving the coach is going to be a difficult and challenging job.
:12:30. > :12:37.The focus now is of course on working out why that coach crashed
:12:37. > :12:42.so dramatically. The police will be looking at traffic cameras and they
:12:42. > :12:46.have already spoken to a couple of witnesses. Crucially, they will be
:12:46. > :12:52.speaking to the survivors to see if they can help establish what
:12:52. > :12:55.happened here. On the 11th anniversary of the 9/11
:12:55. > :12:58.attacks in the United States, it's been announced that survivors will
:12:58. > :13:01.be entitled to free monitoring and treatment for around 50 types of
:13:01. > :13:04.cancer. The decision also covers members of the emergency services
:13:04. > :13:10.who responded to the plane crashes in New York and at the Pentagon,
:13:10. > :13:13.and people who were nearby at the time.

:13:17. > :13:20.Government-backed "business bank" to boost lending to UK companies.
:13:20. > :13:23.But his latest attempt to promote economic growth has been undermined
:13:23. > :13:26.by a report from MPs who described an existing business support scheme
:13:26. > :13:36.as a "scandalous failure". Our political correspondent, Norman
:13:36. > :13:40.
:13:40. > :13:45.More attempts to boost growth. how would this plan work? We have had
:13:45. > :13:50.announcements setting out various initiatives to boost business with
:13:50. > :13:56.Vince Cable outlining plans for a bank run by the taxpayer to provide
:13:56. > :13:58.funds to small business. But the question mark has always been with
:13:58. > :14:03.these announcements how far they trickle down to small business.
:14:03. > :14:08.That is why today's report from MPs is so important. They say this fund,
:14:08. > :14:14.which was set up to help business in deprived areas, has only managed
:14:14. > :14:19.to allocate 5% of its money and create around 5,000 jobs at a cost
:14:19. > :14:23.of �60,000 per job. The fund has improved, say Ministers, and half
:14:23. > :14:26.of those bidding for money are now eligible for it. It raises the
:14:26. > :14:30.question about whether the Government's rhetoric on growth is
:14:30. > :14:33.matched by the reality facing businesses on the ground.
:14:33. > :14:39.Shadow Chancellor has been speaking today, none too impressed by the
:14:39. > :14:44.plans? Yeah. He also got some glancing cries of "rubbish" and
:14:44. > :14:48."shame on you" from delegates at the TUC after he said under a
:14:48. > :14:53.Labour Government there would have to be cuts and difficult decisions
:14:53. > :14:57.over pay and pensions. I think it underlines the fact that all the
:14:57. > :15:02.argument and political fighting we get between the parties over the
:15:02. > :15:09.economy, the difference between them is primarily one of pace and

:19:04. > :19:08.allowed to happen again. Concerted efforts were put in place to turn
:19:08. > :19:13.this just round. But since then, there have been continuing problems

:20:50. > :20:55.blog pocketlint.com is with me. He has a 4G phone, I have a 3G phone.
:20:55. > :21:00.Let's start at the test. There is my speed test going up on the 3G
:21:00. > :21:08.phone. It is going to go up to four or five megabits per second, nearly
:21:08. > :21:14.six. Here is the 4G foam, and that has gone all the way up to 33
:21:14. > :21:18.megabits per second. If fit is five or six or seven times faster. Why
:21:18. > :21:22.is this important? Of more of us are using data online on our mobile
:21:22. > :21:26.phones. That means we are downloading apps and surfing
:21:26. > :21:31.websites like the BBC. Well everybody be able to get this in a
:21:31. > :21:34.hurry? You will need a new phone. You will need a new phone. You also
:21:34. > :21:39.need to be on the Everything Everywhere network, and you will
:21:39. > :21:44.only be able to get it in 16 cities before Christmas initially.
:21:44. > :21:48.rival networks are cross about this launch. Why is that? They have not
:21:48. > :21:51.been able to get a 4G network up and running, because they have
:21:51. > :21:56.still got to buy the network, and that will not happen for another
:21:56. > :22:00.six months. So Vodafone and CO2 will be playing catch-up. Is this
:22:00. > :22:05.an important day for British technology? Of it is exciting,
:22:05. > :22:09.because now we will be able to surf the internet quicker on the gold.
:22:09. > :22:14.That means new things we can explore. Doing everything faster
:22:14. > :22:19.can only be better for everybody. That is supposed to be our 4G
:22:19. > :22:22.future. But it may take time for people to get the handsets they
:22:22. > :22:25.need to make it work. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
:22:25. > :22:28.have arrived in Singapore at the start of a nine-day visit to South
:22:28. > :22:30.East Asia and the South Pacific to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
:22:30. > :22:33.Prince William and Katherine started their tour at Singapore's
:22:33. > :22:43.Botanic Gardens, where they were shown an orchid named after Diana,
:22:43. > :22:47.Princess of Wales. It is only their second official
:22:47. > :22:51.tour to gather outside Britain, and at the Queen's request, William and
:22:51. > :22:56.Kate have come to south-east Asia to mark the Diamond Jubilee. Their
:22:56. > :23:00.first engagement was a poignant one. They came to Singapore's Botanical
:23:00. > :23:06.Gardens to see an awkward named in honour of William's mother, Diana.
:23:06. > :23:10.She never saw it, de Gea, said William. And indeed that was so.
:23:10. > :23:16.Diana was killed two weeks before a planned visit to Singapore in the
:23:16. > :23:20.quarter of 1997. For William, a moment of reflection. And then
:23:20. > :23:30.another orchid, and something to celebrate. This one is called
:23:30. > :23:34.William Catherine. It has been bred specially to mark their visit. It
:23:34. > :23:38.looks like Royal tourism, and of course to an extent, it is. The
:23:38. > :23:41.orchids have been done in little more than ten minutes. But
:23:41. > :23:47.alongside the super-fast site seeing, there is a serious purpose
:23:47. > :23:51.to royal tours like this. Over the next eight days, first here in
:23:51. > :23:54.Singapore and then in Malaysia and finally in some of the islands of
:23:54. > :23:59.the South Pacific, the couple will promote British interests and
:23:59. > :24:02.pursue issues which matter to them personally. Kate will make a speech
:24:02. > :24:06.in Kuala Lumpur about the importance of the hospice movement.
:24:06. > :24:11.And in the remote rainforests of Malaysian Borneo, they will have a
:24:11. > :24:15.chance to see the work being done to protect the forests and the
:24:15. > :24:18.around the towns which live in them. So for William and Kate, a romantic
:24:18. > :24:22.setting and intense scrutiny. Pretty much every step of the way,
:24:22. > :24:28.every change of average by her and every gesture by both of them will
:24:28. > :24:32.be closely examined as one of the world's Highers profile couples
:24:32. > :24:35.resume their international travels. Let's go back to our main story,
:24:35. > :24:41.Andy Murray's triumph in the US Open, making him the first British
:24:41. > :24:44.player to win a Grand Slam for 76 years. We can talk to a man who
:24:44. > :24:51.knows what it is like to have the weight of a nation's tennis hopes
:24:51. > :24:58.on his shoulders. Tim Henman joins us from Wimbledon. You have watched
:24:58. > :25:04.Andy Murray closely over the years. What did you make of the match?
:25:04. > :25:06.was fantastic. It was certainly a late night for everyone. The whole
:25:06. > :25:11.nature of the match and the circumstances were incredible. It
:25:11. > :25:14.showed his real mental fortitude, that he could be up for 2-0 and be
:25:14. > :25:18.so close to winning his first Grand Slam, but then Djokovic was able to
:25:18. > :25:23.win the third and fourth sets. One of the best aspects was how
:25:23. > :25:26.physically strong Murray was. It was Djokovic that was struggling in
:25:26. > :25:31.the fifth set. He was struggling to find their way to get across the
:25:31. > :25:35.finishing line and get the first -- to get the first of hopefully many
:25:35. > :25:42.Grand Slams was a great achievement. He said one of his first emotions
:25:42. > :25:47.was pure relief. He has come so close so many times. Absolutely. He
:25:47. > :25:52.has been in four Grand Slam finals before and lost on every occasion.
:25:52. > :25:56.That is where Ivan Lendl probably had a big part to play. He lost his
:25:56. > :25:59.first four Grand Slam finals. In the past, when Murray has dealt
:26:00. > :26:04.with adversity, sometimes he has got frustrated and has not dealt
:26:04. > :26:09.with it so well. But in the third and fourth sets, he never really
:26:09. > :26:14.panicked. It was not going the way he wanted after a promising start,
:26:14. > :26:17.but he was able to turn this around and finish the fifth set in
:26:17. > :26:21.emphatic fashion. And they would like this, plus his Olympic gold,
:26:21. > :26:27.must give him a huge confidence going into the future. Will this be
:26:27. > :26:31.a turning point for him? To win gold at Wimbledon in the Olympics
:26:31. > :26:35.was a big turning point. He beat Federer in a best-of-five sets
:26:36. > :26:39.match. The gold medal gave him a massive amount of confidence. I
:26:39. > :26:43.have said for some time that I thought he would win many Grand
:26:43. > :26:47.Slams, but the first would be the hardest. It was an incredible
:26:47. > :26:52.effort to beat Djokovic, the defending champion and the best in
:26:52. > :26:55.the world for a long time. It is a huge achievement. I expect him to
:26:55. > :27:05.kick on, because there are still areas where he can improve in his
:27:05. > :27:10.
:27:10. > :27:15.game. He is very motivated, and it The wind has blown in a cooler and
:27:15. > :27:19.fresher feel for all of us today. But it is quite pleasant when the
:27:19. > :27:24.sunshine comes through. But there is a scattering of showers in the
:27:24. > :27:28.afternoon. Today, we are between two large areas of cloud. One of
:27:28. > :27:33.them is coming in tomorrow. This band of cloud gave us some rain
:27:33. > :27:38.overnight. But this curl of cloud is keeping a lot of showers going
:27:38. > :27:42.in the north and west of Scotland. Most of them are light. A bit drier
:27:43. > :27:48.in the east of Scotland. There will be showers in England as well, and
:27:48. > :27:53.not just in the north-west. Some of them may sneak into the Midlands.
:27:53. > :27:59.Much of southern England will be dry. Despite the sunshine, there is
:27:59. > :28:01.a much colder feel that we had yesterday. In the south-west of
:28:01. > :28:09.England, the sunshine will be turning hazy as that cloud arrives
:28:09. > :28:14.from the West. There is sunshine across Wales. Quite a lot of
:28:14. > :28:18.showers to come in Northern Ireland for the rest of today. As the winds
:28:18. > :28:24.ease this evening, the showers will retreat to western coasts. But
:28:24. > :28:29.later in the night, it turns wetter again in north and Ireland --
:28:29. > :28:33.Northern Ireland. Much of Scotland will have a chilly start to
:28:33. > :28:40.Wednesday, but a sunny one. A wet start for Northern Ireland,
:28:40. > :28:45.improving here. An untidy day on Wednesday. Showery bursts of rain
:28:45. > :28:50.push eastwards across England and Wales. But then conditions improve
:28:50. > :28:55.for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Feeling much like today, although
:28:55. > :28:59.the winds will be lighter. Wednesday night will be the coldest
:28:59. > :29:03.night of the week. Temperatures hold up in towns and cities, but in
:29:03. > :29:09.rural areas, we will not be far off freezing by Thursday morning. That
:29:09. > :29:14.is because we have a bump of high pressure, keeping things strife.
:29:14. > :29:20.Storm Lesley is a long way from us, but it will influence our weather
:29:20. > :29:25.through Thursday and into Thursday night. There will be gusts of 60
:29:25. > :29:29.mph in Scotland. But for most of England and Wales, Thursday will be
:29:29. > :29:33.a dry day, with a good deal of sunshine. Temperatures will be
:29:33. > :29:38.about average for this time of year. Towards the end of the week and
:29:38. > :29:44.over the weekend, with the winds ease in, it should begin to turn
