:00:12. > :00:17.stands firm against the military and political opponents. This is the

:00:17. > :00:21.scene live in Cairo this lunch time with thousands gathering again to

:00:21. > :00:25.protest as the army issues a 48-hour ultimatum.

:00:25. > :00:28.We will get the latest from our correspondent at the Presidential

:00:28. > :00:32.Palace. Also this lunch time: Edward

:00:32. > :00:36.Snowden, the US intelligence whistleblower, applies for asylum in

:00:36. > :00:39.more than a dozen countries, but withdraws his request to remain in

:00:39. > :00:43.Russia. A man is arrested following the

:00:43. > :00:48.murder of a pensioner in her home and the stabbing of a nine-year-old

:00:48. > :00:51.boy in a mark in Shipley. Everyone in Wales may be an organ

:00:51. > :00:57.donor unless they state otherwise. It looks likely to be the first

:00:57. > :01:00.place in the UK to operate a policy of presumed consent.

:01:00. > :01:05.It is women's quarterfinals day here at Wimbledon. With the big names

:01:05. > :01:11.out, there is a chance for a new star to emerge in women's tennis.

:01:11. > :01:15.Later on BBC London: Protests at the High Court as plans to close

:01:15. > :01:25.services at Lewisham Hospital are legally challenged. The UK's largest

:01:25. > :01:40.

:01:40. > :01:44.regeneration project gets under way News at One. Thousands of protesters

:01:44. > :01:49.are out again on the streets of Cairo as the Egyptian President,

:01:49. > :01:52.Mohamed Morsi, shows no sign of meeting the demands of the country's

:01:52. > :01:56.military, which has set a deadline of tomorrow for him to reach

:01:56. > :01:59.political agreement with his opponents. A presidential statement

:01:59. > :02:05.said the army had acted without consultation in issuing the demand

:02:05. > :02:09.and Mr Morsi would stick to his own plans to resolve the crisis which

:02:10. > :02:18.has engulfed Egypt. The United Nations has urged the President to

:02:18. > :02:26.engage in "serious national dialogue".

:02:26. > :02:29.Divided Egypt is heading towards a showdown. These protesters proclaim

:02:29. > :02:33.their loyalty to the nation, but not its President. They say Mohamed

:02:33. > :02:37.Morsi must quit a year after his narrow victory in free elections.

:02:37. > :02:46.They accuse him of exceeding his powers trying to impose an Islamic

:02:46. > :02:50.state. TRANSLATION: All the Ministers in

:02:50. > :02:57.his government should resign. Pull out from this government. We are

:02:58. > :03:07.looking for them to go. After that, Morsi will be alone.

:03:07. > :03:09.But the President is not alone on the streets. These are some of his

:03:09. > :03:16.supporters at their own counter-demonstrations. They are

:03:16. > :03:20.vowing to resist what they see as an attempt to overthrow democracy.

:03:20. > :03:24.TRANSLATION: We fear the revolution we carried out is going to be stolen

:03:24. > :03:30.from us. That would be a liberal, secular coup against the Egyptian

:03:30. > :03:34.revolution. Alarmed by all of this, yesterday

:03:34. > :03:40.Egypt's military threatened action, warning political leaders to make

:03:40. > :03:46.peace within 48 hours or risk the army stepping in. The turmoil is all

:03:46. > :03:51.about one man, Mohamed Morsi. He was elected a year ago, but by a narrow

:03:51. > :04:00.majority. He is now accused by the minority of ignoring them. His

:04:00. > :04:03.supporters insist he has a mandate and opponents are using violence to

:04:03. > :04:07.overthrow democracy. The army now threaten unspecified intervention if

:04:07. > :04:10.civilian leaders fail to achieve reconciliation. It's a potent threat

:04:10. > :04:15.because the military have acted before and they see themselves as

:04:15. > :04:21.guardians of a stable Egypt in which they intend to safeguard both their

:04:21. > :04:31.power and huge economic interests. President Obama completing his

:04:31. > :04:41.

:04:41. > :04:46.African tour in Tanzania has has telephoned Egypt's embattled leader.

:04:46. > :04:50.President Morsi is under pressure to find some middle ground.

:04:50. > :05:00.You can keep up-to-date with everything that is happening there

:05:00. > :05:00.

:05:00. > :05:04.and get much more coverage on the BBC News website - bbc.co.uk/news.

:05:04. > :05:09.The fugitive American intelligence analyst, Edward Snowden, has

:05:09. > :05:12.withdrawn his application for asylum in Russia. Mr Snowden is currently

:05:12. > :05:18.hiding in Moscow and has had his passport revoked by the United

:05:18. > :05:21.States which accuses him of leaking secrets. The Kremlin says he

:05:21. > :05:29.withdrew his request for asylum there after President Putin called

:05:29. > :05:34.on him to stop his anti-American activities.

:05:34. > :05:39.He's been lost in transit for nine days now. Edward Snowden is

:05:39. > :05:44.reportedly still stuck airside at Moscow Airport, unable to officially

:05:44. > :05:50.enter Russia, or continue his journey. In Russia, he's been dubbed

:05:50. > :05:53."the invisible man" because no-one has seen him. But today, the

:05:53. > :06:02.30-year-old American broke his silence. WikiLeaks issued a

:06:02. > :06:07.statement attributed to him slamming America. After promising not to do

:06:07. > :06:11.so, President Obama ordered the Vice-President to pressure the

:06:11. > :06:15.leaders of nations from which I have requested protection to deny my

:06:15. > :06:19.asylum petitions. According to the Kremlin, he has now changed his

:06:19. > :06:22.mind. He is believed to have submitted asylum applications to at

:06:22. > :06:32.least 14 other countries. So far, though, no-one has agreed to take

:06:32. > :06:38.him in. That includes Venezuela. President Nicolas Maduro, in Moscow

:06:38. > :06:43.today, has praised Edward Snowden for spilling America's spy secrets.

:06:43. > :06:53.Will he take Mr Snowden back home with him?

:06:53. > :06:53.

:06:53. > :06:56.TRANSLATION: No. All I'm taking back with me are oil and gas deals!

:06:56. > :07:01.The Edward Snowden saga has more twists and turns than the corridors

:07:01. > :07:06.of the Kremlin. Where will he go next? When will he leave? We don't

:07:06. > :07:12.know. The Russians have made one thing clear, though. They have no

:07:12. > :07:16.intention of handing him over to the United States.

:07:16. > :07:20.A 26-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering an elderly

:07:20. > :07:23.woman who was found stabbed to death at her home in Shipley, near

:07:23. > :07:27.Bradford. Her body was discovered by police who were investigating the

:07:27. > :07:36.stabbing of a nine-year-old boy in a skateboarding park in Shipley. The

:07:36. > :07:40.boy is being treated in hospital. Ed Thomas has the latest from Shipley.

:07:40. > :07:44.Yeah, today the park is empty. It is sealed off with this police tape

:07:44. > :07:48.here. Usually, at this time of the day, it is busy with parents and

:07:48. > :07:54.young children. As yet, police say they have found no motive as to why

:07:54. > :07:58.this nine-year-old boy was stabbed. It was children who asked for this

:07:58. > :08:02.skate-park to be built. They said they wanted somewhere safe to play.

:08:02. > :08:12.Instead, it is now a crime scene, after a nine-year-old boy was

:08:12. > :08:12.

:08:12. > :08:16.stabbed. Within hours, police came here to find the body of 84-year-old

:08:16. > :08:21.Louisa Denby. Five men have been arrested. We are not looking for

:08:21. > :08:25.anybody else in connection with the incidents. There is no-one

:08:25. > :08:29.outstanding for this matter. We have got people in custody and we are

:08:29. > :08:36.pursuing the positive lines of enquiry. In the minutes after the

:08:36. > :08:41.stabbing, it was children who called for an ambulance. He looked in fear.

:08:41. > :08:46.This boy tried to help. He says children can't understand what has

:08:46. > :08:51.happened. They are petrified of going anywhere themselves? Children?

:08:51. > :08:58.Yes. One of the men arrested, a 26-year-old man, is being questioned

:08:58. > :09:04.on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. He is said to be related to

:09:04. > :09:10.Louisa Denby, a woman popular here. She was lovely. She was always in

:09:10. > :09:16.her garden. She wouldn't hurt a fly. For it to happen on your own

:09:16. > :09:21.doorstep, it is horrendous. Do you know why anyone would hurt her?

:09:21. > :09:25.No! She were a defenceless old lady. The nine-year-old boy was stabbed in

:09:25. > :09:33.the chest and arm. He is said to be stable in hospital. As detectives

:09:33. > :09:37.try to find out why he was attacked in a place he should have felt safe.

:09:37. > :09:42.Those same detectives have now confirmed they are investigating a

:09:42. > :09:45.third incident in Shipley yesterday, not too far from here. An

:09:45. > :09:49.eight-year-old girl was chased into her home. She was said to be unhurt.

:09:49. > :09:52.Police want to speak to anyone who saw what happened there, or here, or

:09:52. > :09:55.at the house where the 84-year-old woman was stabbed to death.

:09:55. > :10:02.Detectives want anyone who saw anything to come forward and to

:10:02. > :10:05.speak to them. Ed Thomas, thank you. A treaty with Jordan aimed at

:10:05. > :10:09.clearing the way for the radical cleric, Abu Qatada, to be sent there

:10:10. > :10:12.from the UK has moved a step closer to ratification. The agreement,

:10:12. > :10:16.which aims to allay fears that evidence obtained through torture

:10:16. > :10:21.will be used against him at a retrial, has been published in the

:10:21. > :10:27.Jordanian government's official Gazette. It means just a handful of

:10:27. > :10:31.legal moves remain before the deportation process can begin.

:10:31. > :10:34.Child protection experts have warned that live footage of children being

:10:34. > :10:40.sexually abused is increasingly available on the internet. They

:10:40. > :10:44.believe about 50,000 people in the UK are involved in downloading and

:10:44. > :10:48.transferring images of abuse. The experts say offenders are targeting

:10:48. > :10:55.vulnerable families overseas, particularly in the developing

:10:56. > :11:01.world. Depravity, it seems, knows no

:11:01. > :11:06.bounds. Experts say an increasing number of paedophiles are paying to

:11:06. > :11:15.watch live footage of children being abused, using sites like Skype. The

:11:15. > :11:18.victims are often in developing nations where poverty is being

:11:18. > :11:21.exploited. Just because this offending takes place over the

:11:21. > :11:26.internet does not mean it is any less harmful than physical sexual

:11:26. > :11:28.abuse. The impact on victims can sometimes be worse because the

:11:29. > :11:32.offender is completely unknown to them. It could be somebody next

:11:32. > :11:37.door. It could be somebody the other side of the world. The psychological

:11:37. > :11:42.impact that has of not knowing and not having control can be massive.

:11:42. > :11:47.CEOP say over the past 12 months they have found 70,000 images being

:11:47. > :11:52.shared and doubling since last year. There has been a 70% increase in

:11:52. > :11:56.girls under ten becoming victims and 50,000 people are downloading child

:11:56. > :12:02.abuse images. Police are constantly trying to keep up with criminals'

:12:02. > :12:05.use of the internet and their job is becoming more difficult. Heavily

:12:05. > :12:11.encrypted sites are being used by paedophiles which makes it harder

:12:11. > :12:17.for the authorities to identify them. This hidden internet is being

:12:17. > :12:20.used to store and send indecent material. With any new piece of

:12:20. > :12:27.technology, or software, there is risk that someone will try and

:12:27. > :12:32.exploit it for a criminal means. To the majority, they still remain at

:12:32. > :12:38.the lower levels. Protecting children is getting ever-harder as

:12:38. > :12:43.criminals find new ways to abuse them.

:12:43. > :12:45.Wales is likely to become the first part of the UK to introduce a

:12:46. > :12:50.controversial new organ donation scheme which assumes that anyone

:12:50. > :12:53.over the age of 18 has agreed to be a donor unless they have stated

:12:54. > :12:59.otherwise. Ministers believe the change could result in a 25%

:12:59. > :13:08.increase in the number of transplant operations. But some faith leaders,

:13:08. > :13:12.including the Archbishop of Wales, oppose the changes.

:13:12. > :13:17.Every day, Martyn Griffiths has to work his way through a mountain of

:13:17. > :13:22.medication. The 36-year-old was born with heart and lung problems. He is

:13:22. > :13:28.one of over 7,000 people in the UK on a waiting list for a transplant.

:13:29. > :13:33.There is no way to know if or when a match will be found. There are days

:13:33. > :13:42.where I can't be bothered. I don't want to go to dialysis. I want to

:13:42. > :13:47.stay in bed and be left alone. I know if I don't go for dialysis, I

:13:47. > :13:52.will die. Wales looks set to be the first part of the country to make

:13:52. > :13:57.everyone a potential donor. Adults living here for 12 months or more

:13:57. > :14:01.will have deemed to have been given consent. There is nothing to be

:14:01. > :14:08.scared of. The legislation makes it clear that if you are not

:14:08. > :14:11.comfortable with being an organ donor, you have a right to opted out

:14:11. > :14:15.of the system. This is the biggest and most controversial change the

:14:15. > :14:20.Welsh Government has sought to introduce in its 14-year history.

:14:20. > :14:24.But the impact won't only be felt here. Organs donated in Wales won't

:14:24. > :14:29.necessarily stay within its borders. They will be matched with patients

:14:29. > :14:32.across the UK. There are 74 amendments tabled for this

:14:32. > :14:38.afternoon's vote. The key argument is over whether family members can

:14:38. > :14:43.object to a transplant. And how they persuade a surgeon it would be

:14:43. > :14:48.against the deceased's wishes. there are relatives who are

:14:48. > :14:52.distressed about the removal of these organs, no account can be

:14:52. > :14:56.taken of their views. Transplant surgeons say they will take account

:14:56. > :15:01.of the views of relatives and they will not remove organs. That

:15:01. > :15:06.undermines the whole legislation. Donor ss in England, Scotland and

:15:06. > :15:10.Northern Ireland will retain the current opt-in system. -- donors.

:15:10. > :15:20.The new law will only apply to Welsh residents who die in Wales. It is

:15:20. > :15:24.due to come into force in the summer of 2015. Our top story: This is the

:15:24. > :15:27.scene live in Egypt's Tahrir Square, after days of protests, the

:15:27. > :15:34.president is standing firm against his military and political

:15:34. > :15:39.opponents. And still to come: Pole as part but

:15:39. > :15:44.Formula One could lead to a faster and more reliable rail service.

:15:44. > :15:48.Later on BBC London: One of the best views of Wimbledon. We're up one of

:15:48. > :15:53.the capital's oldest church spires as it launches an appeal.

:15:53. > :16:03.An exhibition opens giving a new insight into the life of Amy

:16:03. > :16:05.

:16:05. > :16:08.Now, it is the women's singles quarter finals at Wimbledon today.

:16:08. > :16:12.There is no British interest after Laura Robson was knocked out

:16:12. > :16:18.yesterday. And there's no Serena Williams after the number one seed

:16:18. > :16:24.went out in that shock defeat to the German number 23, Sabine Lisicki.

:16:24. > :16:34.But still plenty of exciting matches ahead. The two highest seeds left in

:16:34. > :16:39.the tournament Agnieszka Radwanska and Li Na are playing now. And Petra

:16:39. > :16:44.Kvitova will be in action later. Katherine Downs is the lucky person

:16:44. > :16:48.at SW19 for us. Much smaller crowds here today than

:16:48. > :16:50.yesterday. They're split between real tennis fans who are very

:16:50. > :16:54.excited about watching the women's quarter finals and people who came

:16:55. > :16:59.here hoping to watch the big names in action, many of them, haven't

:16:59. > :17:03.even heard of some of today's quarter finalists. Surely that's an

:17:03. > :17:06.opportunity for the players time press the crowds with their power

:17:06. > :17:10.and personality. Look at Sabine Lisicki who smiled her way to

:17:10. > :17:19.victory yesterday against the great Serena Williams.

:17:19. > :17:27.She called one of the biggest surprises of this year's tournament.

:17:27. > :17:32.It's Sabine not Vienna playing in the -- Serena playing in the quarter

:17:32. > :17:36.finals. Kaia Kanepi went through instead of Laura Robson. The highest

:17:36. > :17:46.seed left standing is number four, Agnieszka Radwanska. So, who are

:17:46. > :17:54.these women who have outlasted the big names? If I said Slon Stevens,

:17:54. > :17:59.kirs ten Flipkins? What can you tell me about them? Nothing. You like to

:17:59. > :18:03.see the big names but unfortunately they've all gone, apart from Andy.

:18:03. > :18:12.So for some today the order of play makes for disappointing reading.

:18:12. > :18:15.There are two Grand Slam winners to watch Li and Petra Kvitova. Even so

:18:15. > :18:22.the dish could be anyone's. women's game needs a big rivalry.

:18:22. > :18:25.Lately, it has been Williams, Azarenka and Sharapova. Where are

:18:26. > :18:29.they? The others have now got to step up and show how good women's

:18:29. > :18:38.tennis is without those three. while you may not know very much

:18:38. > :18:47.about the only American left in the draw or the Belgian number one.

:18:47. > :18:56.Perhaps it's time to pick your new Wimbledon heroine. There's action on

:18:56. > :18:59.Centre Court. Agnieszka Radwanska versus Li. It's staying on serve

:18:59. > :19:03.there. I was talking to you earlier about the fact that some people say

:19:03. > :19:08.they've not heard of some of these quarter finalists. You were getting

:19:08. > :19:13.het up by the fact that they should have done. I think so. We have three

:19:13. > :19:17.top ten players out there. People that have won Grand Slams, so I

:19:17. > :19:21.think the real tennis fans know who these players are for sure. Do you

:19:21. > :19:25.think perhaps the women's game has been damaged by Serena Williams and

:19:25. > :19:32.her dominance, because if she is in the draw, it's accused of being

:19:32. > :19:37.predictable and if not, people say, well, I want to see Serena. It's not

:19:37. > :19:41.predibltable. She lost yesterday. Tennis is like this. You can lose.

:19:41. > :19:46.Women's is especially difficult playing on grass. You've seen what

:19:46. > :19:49.happened this Wimbledon. It's not that easy to play. I think women's

:19:49. > :19:53.tennis is in good shape, that's for sure. We have got the number four

:19:53. > :19:57.seed against the number six seed on Centre Court, you say a lot of top

:19:57. > :20:02.ten players still in action. Who's your pick for the trophy this year?

:20:02. > :20:08.I never pick it. I don't like predicting. I mean, I think the

:20:08. > :20:14.players that are out there, they're good. I mean Li is a very good

:20:14. > :20:16.player. She's very powerful. Kvitova is powerful. But you never know,

:20:16. > :20:26.especially on this surface because it's very difficult. Today it's

:20:26. > :20:31.cloudy. It changes. When it's sunny it chaining -- changes too. Thank

:20:31. > :20:34.you for talking to us. Perhaps the women's game needs a rivalry perhaps

:20:34. > :20:38.that will spring today. Come next year, everyone will know their

:20:38. > :20:42.names. Thank you very much.

:20:42. > :20:46.The public is to be consulted about changes to the way stop and search

:20:46. > :20:49.powers are used by the police in England and Wales. The Home

:20:49. > :20:52.Secretary, Theresa May, is to address the House of Commons shortly

:20:52. > :20:56.and is expected to say that the powers should be used more carefully

:20:56. > :21:00.to ensure people aren't stopped on the basis of their ethnicity and

:21:01. > :21:06.that officers don't waste time conducting unnecessary searches.

:21:06. > :21:09.More from our home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw who is with

:21:09. > :21:12.me. Talk us through the latest figures. The latest figures suggest

:21:12. > :21:16.that stop and search is still being used extensively by police in

:21:16. > :21:22.England and Wales. It can be used by police to stop anyone in the street

:21:22. > :21:27.who they reasonably suspect may be carrying drugs or a weapon. In 2011

:21:27. > :21:33.to 2012 police carried out almost 1. 2 million stops and searches on

:21:33. > :21:35.people. That is slightly down on the year before, but again, it's a

:21:36. > :21:39.significant number. What the Home Secretary is concerned about is

:21:39. > :21:44.whether these stops are really necessary, whether they're bearing

:21:44. > :21:49.any fruit because that year, of all those people stopped and searched,

:21:49. > :21:52.only 9% were arrested as a result of those stopped. She would -- stops,

:21:52. > :21:55.she would like to see a situation where you get a higher proportion of

:21:55. > :22:00.arrests to the number of people who are searched. The other concern she

:22:04. > :22:06.intelligence or whether simply because they are black or Asian. The

:22:06. > :22:11.figures suggest that if you are black you're more likely to be

:22:11. > :22:16.stopped and searched, in fact seven times more likely to be stopped than

:22:16. > :22:20.someone who is white. So she is going to propose some changes in a

:22:20. > :22:25.very open way today, consulting on people's views to improve the

:22:25. > :22:29.situation. Do we have a sense of what the police response would be to

:22:29. > :22:34.her suggestions here? I think the police would be concerned at any

:22:34. > :22:37.measures which is likely to lead it a radical down-scaling in the use of

:22:37. > :22:41.these powers. They believe they are useful tools, if used properly. A

:22:41. > :22:45.number of police forces have already started a new approach where they're

:22:45. > :22:48.being much more careful about who they stop and search using

:22:48. > :22:55.intelligence rather than going out and stopping people on the basis of

:22:55. > :23:00.a hunch or assumption. Danny, thanks very much.

:23:00. > :23:05.The retrial of an SAS sniper, accused of illegally possessing a

:23:05. > :23:09.gun and ammunition, so getting under way. Sergeant Danny Nightingale has

:23:09. > :23:13.pleaded not guilty. His original conviction was quashed at the Court

:23:13. > :23:19.of Appeal in March, following a public campaign. This report

:23:19. > :23:24.contains flash photography. One of those rare occasions when a

:23:24. > :23:27.serving member of the SAS shows his face in public. Sergeant Danny

:23:27. > :23:34.Nightingale and his wife came to Bulford Military Court at the start

:23:34. > :23:39.of his week-long trial. REPORTER: Danny, BBC News: How are

:23:39. > :23:46.you feeling? I can't comment on anything today. We will at some

:23:46. > :23:52.stage. It was a gun like this, a Glock 9 mm pistol that sergeant

:23:52. > :23:56.Nightingale is accused of bringing into Britain along with ammunition.

:23:56. > :24:03.The 38-year-old sniper had been given the weapon by Iraqi colleagues

:24:03. > :24:07.after a Tour of Duty in 2007. He claims he then forgot about it. His

:24:07. > :24:11.conviction and 18-month jail sentence for the offences led to a

:24:11. > :24:18.public outcry and it was only in March this year the High Court in

:24:18. > :24:21.London quashed the conviction and ordered a new trial. At their home

:24:21. > :24:25.Sergeant Danny Nightingale and his wife have spent the past few months

:24:25. > :24:29.preparing for today's court case. He admits the pressures have been

:24:29. > :24:35.enormous. It's brought the family together. It could have broken us, I

:24:35. > :24:39.think. We're lucky. We have a very strong family. For his wife Sally

:24:39. > :24:44.the huge display of public support following this case has been

:24:44. > :24:49.overwhelming. Danny's done a really good job. He's been in a special

:24:49. > :24:54.regiment. I think people feel that they owe a debt of gratitude to the

:24:54. > :24:59.armed fors forces, which has really come across strongly in all of this

:24:59. > :25:03.case. They just don't see the sense in this at all. The Military Court

:25:03. > :25:08.is due to hear from serving members of the SAS who will give evidence

:25:08. > :25:17.behind screens. A rare glimpse into the world of Special Forces at the

:25:17. > :25:21.trial of one of their own. The wildfires which claimed the

:25:21. > :25:27.lives of 19 elite firefighters in the American state of Arizona remain

:25:27. > :25:32.out of control. The blaze, which began on Friday, near Yarnell, north

:25:32. > :25:37.of feenic, has scorched more than -- Phoenix, has scorched more than

:25:37. > :25:41.8,000 acres of land. More than 200 homes have been destroyed.

:25:41. > :25:45.Anyone who travels to work by train knows just how frustrating it is

:25:45. > :25:50.when they run late. Well, now, some rail companies are turning to

:25:50. > :25:55.another form of transport for advice on how to make services more

:25:55. > :25:59.reliable, Formula One. The two may seem pole as part, but apparently

:25:59. > :26:08.pit stops, energy-saving breaks and computers that highlight faults in

:26:08. > :26:15.racing cars could transform our daily commute.

:26:15. > :26:18.What can these guy guys learn from these guys? Punctuality is one of

:26:18. > :26:23.the biggest bug bears for rail passengers and complaints are going

:26:23. > :26:27.up. Now the train companies are turning to Formula One for help.

:26:27. > :26:37.It's a bit nervewracking, but it is all going to be over in a split

:26:37. > :26:38.

:26:38. > :26:41.second. Everything here is choreographed to perfection. All of

:26:41. > :26:46.these guys know exactly what they're doing. There is not a wasted second.

:26:46. > :26:51.Believe it or not there are lessons here that could help the trains run

:26:51. > :26:56.on time. This is train maker Alstom's verse of a pitstop. They

:26:56. > :26:59.spent time with an F1 team and have borrowed techniques. It's about

:26:59. > :27:05.having the right engine with the right part in the right place at the

:27:06. > :27:08.right time. It's not just the pitstop. F1 teams rely on telemetry,

:27:08. > :27:12.computers telling them about problems with the car and so do

:27:12. > :27:18.these rail engineers, the train computers flag up any faults. From

:27:18. > :27:23.the little things, like a broken toilet, to more serious problems.

:27:23. > :27:26.There's 550 tons of train snaking behind me. They're testing the

:27:26. > :27:31.tilting system. Because they're introduced the Formula One

:27:31. > :27:35.techniques, they can now fix a train like this in just four hires. In the

:27:35. > :27:39.old days it -- hours. In the old days it was a couple of days.

:27:39. > :27:43.would not be possible to operate 5 1 out of 56 trains in service every

:27:43. > :27:47.day, 18 hours a day, without the innovations we've introduced in

:27:47. > :27:52.terms of process and product offer the last number of years. Network

:27:52. > :27:55.Rail missed all of its passenger service punctuality targets for

:27:55. > :28:04.England and Wales last year. It's often down to problems with the

:28:04. > :28:14.signals or track, but by copying Formula One at least the trains are

:28:14. > :28:18.

:28:18. > :28:22.Now an unmanned Russian rocket has exploded shortly after liftoff in

:28:22. > :28:25.Kazakhstan. Russian television showed footage of the booster

:28:25. > :28:31.rocket, carrying three satellites, Veering off course seconds after

:28:31. > :28:35.blast-off. It broke apart in the air and crashed in flames two kilometres

:28:35. > :28:42.from the launch pad. No-one was hurt, but it has been reported up to

:28:42. > :28:44.500 tons of rocket fuel could have been released and contaminated the

:28:44. > :28:49.crash site. Now, let's find out what is

:28:49. > :28:52.happening with our weather. Nick Miller is with me. Cloudy at

:28:52. > :28:55.Wimbledon, how's it looking for Wimbledon, how's it looking for

:28:55. > :29:01.everyone else? All the chat is about summer warmth

:29:01. > :29:05.on the way, but it hasn't arrived yet. For that you need high

:29:05. > :29:09.pressure. Right now that's well to the south of the UK. This area is

:29:09. > :29:13.needed to transform the weather. Now it's low pressure across us - cloud

:29:13. > :29:19.and rain and another one waiting in the wings. So two areas of low

:29:19. > :29:23.pressure to come through before our weather is transformed. Right now

:29:23. > :29:27.the talk isn't about sunshine and warmth for this afternoon, it's

:29:27. > :29:30.about the wet weather and the brisk winds with it. It's spent most of

:29:30. > :29:34.the morning across the western side of the UK. Now it's feeding its way

:29:34. > :29:37.further east. Maybe a few lulls in the rain in Northern Ireland this

:29:37. > :29:41.afternoon, but it has been quite wet over the past few hours. It's wetter

:29:41. > :29:47.in Scotland, especially down the western side. With the strength of

:29:47. > :29:51.the wind and temperatures around 14 or 15 degrees. That rain will edge

:29:51. > :29:55.into North West England through the afternoon. It's patchy in nature in

:29:55. > :29:57.south-west England. Not a constant rain. Despite the fact that there

:29:57. > :30:01.are some dry spells in south-east England and East Anglia, there are

:30:01. > :30:05.showery bursts that are moving through over the next few hours.

:30:05. > :30:08.Jane talked about Wimbledon, there is the potential for showers for a

:30:08. > :30:11.time this afternoon, not a complete washout. It will dry up again once

:30:12. > :30:15.they're out of the way. Tomorrow, despite the cloud, it is looking

:30:15. > :30:20.mainly dry. Of course, the coverage continues across the BBC. Now if you

:30:20. > :30:23.want some rain on the garden across the South-East and East Anglia, you

:30:23. > :30:26.have to wait until this evening and tonight. It turns quite heavy for a

:30:26. > :30:31.time. Make the most of that. That could be the last significant rain

:30:31. > :30:35.here for quite some time. By the end of the night it's pushing away.

:30:35. > :30:41.Behind it, plenty of cloud, damp and drizzly weather. It's a muggy night

:30:41. > :30:46.too. Tomorrow starts in a not very inviting fashion. The drizzle should

:30:46. > :30:48.die away. It's a slow process to brighten things up. It's late

:30:48. > :30:53.afternoon into the evening where we see some of that sunshine coming

:30:53. > :30:56.through the cloud. Temperatures are a bit higher than they are today. It

:30:56. > :31:01.will feel muggier too. I think the players at Wimbledon won't

:31:01. > :31:05.appreciate that. Then on Thursday, the next area of low pressure will

:31:05. > :31:09.come through - quite wet, especially to the North West of the UK. Not

:31:09. > :31:13.much rain on this as it feeds south through the day. Freshening winds

:31:13. > :31:17.once again. Once that's out of the way, the weather changes. High

:31:17. > :31:20.pressure comes up from the south. Come on! It comes in for Friday and

:31:20. > :31:24.the weekend into next week as well with increase increasing sunshine

:31:24. > :31:30.and warmth. It's on the way. For the weekend though, sclents.

:31:30. > :31:34.Thank you Nick. -- excellent. Thank you nick. Our main story: There is

:31:34. > :31:38.turmoil in Egypt after days of protests. The president is standing
