More than 40 dead in Egypt as the army opens fire on supporters of

the ousted President, Mohammed Morsi.

The killings lead to calls from the Muslim Brotherhood for an uprising

against the Egyptian army. We'll be live in Cairo for the very

latest on the political crisis engulfing Egypt.

Also this lunch time: After that 77-year wait, David

Cameron say he can't think of anyone more deserving of a

knighthood than Wimbledon champion Andy Murray.

Finally published - the report into childrens' homes in North Wales

which found evidence of extensive sexual abuse, but which was then

shelved for 17 years. The "revolution in education" -

changes to the English curriculum the Government says are vital for

the country's economic prosperity. And the San Francisco air crash -

only two people died, but was one killed by an emergency vehicle sent

to rescue passengers? Later on BBC London:

Fire crews have to rescue four people after a burst water main in

Greenford. And fears that millions of pounds

of revenue could be lost when the Good afternoon, and welcome to the

BBC News at 1.00pm. At least 40 supporters of the

deposed Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi have been killed in a

confrontation outside the barracks where it's believed he is being

held after last week's coup. The Muslim Brotherhood has called it a

massacre and has called for an uprising against the military who

took control of the country last week. There are conflicting

accounts of what sparked the violence. We'll be live in Cairo in

a moment, but first here's our Middle East correspondent Wyre

Davies on this morning's events. Egypt is descending deeper and

deeper into chaos. Just before dawn broke, the eastern suburbs of Cairo

erupted in violence as supporters of the ousted president came under

heavy gunfire. According to medical sources, at least 40 people were

killed. Supporters of President Morsi say the army opened fire

without warning, shooting directly into the crowd as they were

preparing for morning prayers. TRANSLATION: We were praying at

dawn when the army came with guns and tanks and troops on foot. They

locked the doors and threw bombs and shot at us. More than 40 were

killed and many wounded. Footage on social media sites show images of

soldiers firing down from a balcony with automatic weapons. But

according to a statement released by the Egyptian army, what it

called an armed terrorist group tried to storm the military

headquarters. State television also showed footage of what it said were

protesters shooting at soldiers. There are real fears Egypt is on

the brink of devastating civil conflict. There's been heavy loss

of life and more violence is inevitable. After last week's

military take-over, all hope of political dialogue has now

evaporated and Islamist groups are calling what happened this morning

a massacre. Our Middle East correspondent Aleem

Maqbool joins me from the Rabaa mosque in Cairo.

And I wonder what sort of response there has been to these events that

have taken place from the authorities? Well, in erms of the

military authorities, they've said that they were provoked into what

happened. There have certainly been more presence of the military

around here. I should tell you we're very close to where the

shooting took place. It was down that street over there, and right

now where the military barracks is, there is a very tense standoff

between soldiers and supporters of the deposed president Mohammed

Morsi. A lot of them have come back here. They offered prayers for the

dead. A lot of those we have spoken to down there are still talking

about remaining peaceful, and I have to say, there are more and

more calling for a violent reaction to what's happened today, and that

incident has made it all the more difficult to see how there will be

a way out of this crisis, how this massive dangerous wound has been

opened up in Egyptian society over the last week or so is going to be

healed. Thank you very much indeed. Less than a week ago, President

Mohammed Morsi was the elected leader of Egypt and his party the

Muslim Brotherhood were in power. Now he is under armed guard and his

supporters are in custody or in hiding. So what is the future for

the Muslim Brotherhood, the country's largest and oldest

Islamist organisation? Our security correspondent Frank Gardner reports.

Snapshots of violence from a country in crisis - Egypt is

becoming dangerously divided. Supporters of the Muslim

Brotherhood against the army that deposed their president. Today,

their political wing, where weapons were reportedly found in their

headquarters, called for an uprising. Their spokesman remained

defiant. We put full responsibility on every person that participated

in that coup and empowered it to happen, and we put responsibility

on them, on anything - any harm happening to the person of the

presidency, to the legitimacy of the nation, to Dr Mohammed Morsi.

Amidst chaotic scenes, hundreds of other arrest warrants have been

issued and senior Muslim Brotherhood figures, so visible

until last week, are either in custody or have gone into hiding.

Their supporters believe he's being held by the Army in the Republican

Guard headquarters and they're demanding his release. Muslim

Brotherhood protesters are fall outnumbered by the millions who

called for an end to their rule, but they remain a well-organised

grassroots party. Egypt's interim president sworn in last week was

hoping to work with the Muslim Brotherhood, but they have refused

to cooperate. Western Governments were uncomfortable with their rule,

but former Prime Minister Tony Blair is one of few figures to

openly condemn their record in power. The real problem you have in

Egypt right now is the economy has been tanking. The tourism industry

has virtually collapsed. You have a situation where ordinary law and

order is broken down. Public services aren't being delivered.

Although we can sit back and watch and wait, if we do that then the

likelihood is the situation will get even worse. With tensions so

high, Egypt is in a dangerous place. Unless this standoff between the

army and the Muslim Brotherhood is resolved quickly, there could well

be more clashes, more deaths and a descent into a spiral of violence.

Just to say, you can follow this situation in Egypt and get more

analysis from our website. Go to bbc.co.uk/Egypt for all the latest

updates. How long before Wimbledon Champion

Andy Murray becomes Sir Andy? The Prime Minister said this

morning on the question of a knighthood, "I can't think of

anyone who deserves one more." For his part, Andy Murray said he

didn't want to go to sleep last night because he was worried he

would wake up and it would have all been a dream. Murray became the

first British man to take the singles title for 77 years when he

beat the world number one Novak Djokovic in straight sets. Now, for

one last time.Andy Swiss is in Wimbledon for us.

Andy. Yes, John. I think a lot of us were still pinching ourselves

this morning thinking, did that really happen? It did, and this

morning it's all been sinking in for Andy Murray too. He's been

talking to the world's media about the day a nation's dream finally

came true. Just to warn you, this piece does contain some flash

photography. After just an hour-and-a-half's

sleep, Andy Murray was back at Wimbledon this morning, the scene

of one of British sport's most unforgettable days.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE The waiting is over! 77 years of

frustration had ended in glory. For Murray today, a blend of

existration and exhaustion. Just know that I'll never top that, I

don't think - anything that I do now, I'll never have that same

pressure, that same expectation, that same - I don't know - release

after the match. I came off the court, and within 45 minutes, I was

spent, like, I - I couldn't move. I was so tired! And I think

subconsciously, everything that goes on with Wimbledon in almost

like the last seven, eight years of the pressure and the questions and

the build-up of all that stuff just took its toll. Last night, Murray

swapped his tennis whites for a tux, the champion's dinner with

girlfriend Kim Sears and his mum and dad. The family photo album

certainly has some very happy additions. Murray's also made an

appearance at some tennis courts in South London this morning, but it's

Wimbledon that still occupies his thoughts. I actually want to try

and go in and have a look around Centre Court because it's so

different than it was yesterday. There were so many people here. It

was packed, like, over on the hill, then when we finished the match,

near the entrance to Centre Court - it's just really nice and peaceful

today, and - an amazing day yesterday. Amazing indeed. A nation

had waited so long for this moment, but Murray will be hoping this

breath-taking Wimbledon triumph is just the first of many. Yes, Andy

Murray will be hoping this is really just the start. It has been

an incredible 12 months for him - first, the Olympic title here in

London, then the US Open title in New York and now Wimbledon. Surely,

he has the world number one spot in his sights, but frankly, that can

wait. For now, he'll just want to celebrate this quite extraordinary

achievement. John in Thank you very much indeed. Let's speak to our

sports editor, David Bond, who is in the studio. Top tennis bods in

Britain have been scratching their heads for years, asking, how do we

get more Andy Murray's along? Will this victory provide that moment

for them, that answer? Absolutely. This is a day to celebrate. It's a

day to savour after 77 years of celebrating, but when that

celebrating is done, inevitably, the focus will shift to how they

can use this moment to try to inspire a generation. His

achievements disguise a worrying lack of British tennis. Who are the

stars we should be looking to for the future? James Ward is the next

top man at 219. Looking down beyond that, there is hope for Kyle Edmund,

18. He reached the boy's semifinals in the singles and doubles, high

hopes for him. Oliver Golding won a title in 2011. There is big hopes

for him. In the women's game, Roberto Forzoni reached the fourth

round at Wimbledon this year, world number 27. The World Tennis

Association, which runs the sport in this country, says the signs at

junior level are promising, but the trick is to turn that into a new

generation of champions. Thank you very much indeed.

17 years ago a highly critical report into sex abuse at childrens'

homes in North Wales was completed but was then shelved by the council

that commissioned it because it was worried it could be sued. Today,

that report was finally published cataloguing what it said was

"extensive" abuse over "a substantial number of years". Our

Wales correspondent Hywel Griffith is in Mold, North Wales for us now.

Yes, for years, it was claimed that this report didn't even exist that

all the copies had been pulped on orders of the local authorities -

finally published today, its 300 pages confirm what many now already

know - that there was systemic abuse of children in homes across

North Wales during the 1970s and '80s. A warning that for years

remained suppressed. In a place where they should have been

protected - vulnerable young children were subjected to sexual

and physical abuse for decades. What happened at this home in

Wrexham and 17 others is now the subject of a major police

investigation that attempts to expose the scale of the abuse 17

years ago were superior pressed. The Jillings Report was

commissioned by the local council, who then blocked its publication.

Today it has been released with sections blanked out. It warned

that the abuse was extensive and had taken place over a substantial

number of years. It said the interests of children were almost

invariably sacrificed. The inquiry team faced difficulty and confusion

getting access to evidence leaving major gaps in their knowledge. That

frustration has remained for the author. It needed to be made public,

didn't it? And it needed to be made public in such a way that better

protections were built into our childcare provision, and the

treatment for other groups, like handicapped people and elderly

people. Publication of the report was blocked because Clywd County

Council feared it would be sued. It has since been disanded, but the

victims of abuse still feel angry. At the end of the day, I don't know

why we weren't protected. I mean, care and protection, there was no

care and certainly no protection, so the County Council has voted to

scrap this - shame on you. It was a BBC Newsnight report that led to a

Tory peer being falsely accused of paedophilia that led the spotlight

to the abuse. It triggered two ongoing inquiries, one led by the

police, another by a judge. Those who initially raised concerns in

thearley '90s say they have to be thorough. It's about time that the

police, the judge and all the others got together and started to

be transparent, and I hope at the end of this period, that we get to

the truth of what happened and nothing is hidden. Today's report

may be a step forward for the hundreds of children who suffered

abuse, but it is only another chapter in a story which has

blighted and destroyed lives. Well, John, this lunch time, the

Chief Executive of the NSPCC say many of the failings in this report

Francisco Airport on Saturday was travelling slower than it should

have been. Two people died, but there are reports that one may have

been killed by an emergency vehicle at the scene of the crash.

Investigators approaching the wreck aj of the Asiana Airlines flight

which, inkribly, 305 passengers and crew survive. Seven seconds before

impact, signs of trouble were reported, less than two seconds when

they tried to abort the landing. I was looking at this window.

Thinking there was no way. Businessman! The impact was so

powerful. If I did not have the strap around

my chest, I probably would have hit the ceiling on the plane. That is

how hard it was. The captain was screaming.

We could hear the captain's voice from the speaker say saying that

there was an emergency vak weighs. Investigators say that the plane was

travelling below the target speed on approach. The airline confirmed that

the crew member in the pilot seat was still in training to land the

Boeing 777. It is also emerged, from the Fire

Department, that one of the Chinese teenagers who died, may have been

run over by an emergency vehicle. In their words, it could have been

something that happened in the chaos. As some of the survivors

returned home, the black box recording of their ordeal is in

Washington for an enquiry that could take weeks.

Our top story: More than 40 people have died in Egypt as the army opens

fire on supporters of the ousted President, Mohamed Morsi. Still to

come, first the rugby, then the tennis, next it is cricket. We look

ahead to the Ashes that start this week.

Now five-year-olds are to learn fractions and computer programming

in school as part of the new National Curriculum for England,

published today. The Education Secretary, Michael Gove, says he

wants children to learn the skills that universities and businesses

need. We have this report.

You are going to make a fold to start with... That's going to make

it into quarters. Fractions for five-year-olds is the

plan. Although at this school, the year one gets to grips with halves

and quarters. The National Curriculum is the body of learning

that all pupils must be taught. The Government says schools in England

have had a fall in global education league tables. They hope that their

plans will change that. We have to measure it against the

competitors, that means that ensuring we are teaching the

reading, writing, getting the history right. Giving people access

to what has been written in our language and the best of the new. To

teach computing skills, not just to teach how to work it but how it

works. So, expectations are to change. In

maths, nine-year-olds have to learn the 12 times table. At present it is

up to the ten times table. In science, evolution to be taught in

primary, but in history, primary schools to be taught up to 1066

after criticisms that going further could overload young minds. The head

here says that the National Curriculum needs improvement in

places but not all change. It is tight enough on some, but

remain some elements, keep what we got. It worked. It was improving.

Teachers got used to it. Suddenly we are changing again. Not a good idea.

The lessons here will be different with harder topics earlier on and

more to get through. Some say that the timetable is rushed.

We are to go through some of the Viking facts... These changes are

were September 2014. A timescale described by a teaching union as

unrealistic. Elsewhere, Wales is holding a review and there is no

change in Scotland and Northern Ireland, but this National

Curriculum does not need to be followed in England's academies or

free schools that leave some to question its relevance.

Five people are known to have died, and 40 are missing after a train

carrying crude oil derailed and exploded over the weekend in Canada.

The country's Prime Minister described the town in Quebec as

looking like a war zone. The fires have been put out, a search and

investigation of the area is under way.

We have this report. This was a goods train that became a

bomb. Devastating the heart of this once picturesquesque town in eastern

Canada. Rescuers have been working all night to find survivors.

We are talk about more or less 40 people that are reported missing. We

don't know their whereabouts. In the mill of Saturday night the

train ploughed into down town Lac-Megantic.

-- middle of Saturday night. A sudden explosion and a firebomb,

like a bomb, one witness said, as the vast cargo of crude oil ignited.

In day light the full extent of the disaster was visible. The train had

been caring tens of thousands of gallons of oil. Buildings were

inChristian rated, many inside of them had no chance. Canadian's Prime

Minister said that the area was like a war zone.

Much of the town has been evacuated. There are fears of water

contamination it appears that the firefighters tackled a blaze on the

train while parked in the nearby town it is unclear why two hours

later, the driverless engine bar elled down the hill and crashed.

Grief hangs over the small community as people wait anxiously for news of

the missing. They still have many more questions than answers.

The Conservative party has sought to maximise Labour embarrassment over

its relations with the union to ask the police to look into the Labour

selection process. Labour insisted that events in Falkirk, where the

police are investigating were isolated. Tomorrow Ed Miliband is

due to address the issue. Norman Smith is in Westminster for us now.

Clearly, the Tories want to maximise the pressure and Labour's discomfort

on this. Do we know what Ed Miliband will say? We are not going to get

another clause four moment in the way that Tony Blair went out of his

way to take on the unions in a symbolic pitched battle of public

ownership to underline their independence from them. Those around

say that Ed Miliband supports the union link, but we are getting more

than tweaks to this. The Labour Party rule book. So more than kerbs

on the money that unions and others can spend on selection contests and

more than a revamped code of conduct. One idea muted is possibly

allowing the public a say in the selection contest through so-called

open prime Aries. Team Miliband say that is speculation but they know

they have to come up with more than just a tweak to far graph 4,

subsection 2 D of the party rule book, if they are to convince voters

that Ed Miliband is ready to stand up to the unions. The difficulty is

if he goes too far, he risks plunging the party thoo Civil War.

One person has tweeted how much more abuse can they take.

Thank you very much. The Queen 's dar -- the Queen 's

granddaughter, Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall, are expecting their

first baby in the New year. It will follow the arrival of the

Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge's baby due later in the month. After

the triumphs in tennis and rugby, attention turns now to the Ashes

series that begins on Wednesday. Hopes are high for an English

victory, but the sport has problems. Cricket faces the challenge of

getting the young people interested in our national summer game.

This is how England likes to remember the Ashes. 2005, Australia

finally defeated, a national outpouring of enthusiasm after a

series of matches broadcast on free-to-air television. Cricket,

clearly mattered. Nottinghamshire is the home of the first Ashes Test.

Also the home of Oak Tree Primary. A school that went from no sport and

mushl measures to winning a national cricket competition.

We have some really tough children who ruled the estate, so to say, who

come to school and behave because they want to play cricket. In school

there is arguments, in cricket if you are out, you are account.

I like batting and hitting it. You can just smash it.

These children are part of the Chance to Shine scheme. It is part

funded by the lottery and the cricket authorities. Designed to

bring cricket back into the state schools it is estimated that cricket

is not played in two thirds of state schools in England and Wales. One

when it comes to producing cricketers, there is reliance on a

few independent fee-paying schools. This is Bedford School where

Alastair Cook learned his profession. The facilities and the

coaching are hard to match. We recognise there is a huge amount

to be done in skate schools. There is issue of facilities, lack of

interest. So for us we accepted that was the issue when we started. What

we need is to be measuring this in five to ten years. Chance to Shine

could be an inoperation, even if live cricket is no longer on

free-to-air TV. There is the constant battle with

football. There is no major football going on

during the Ashes, so it is a great opportunity to promote cricket and

what a fantastic game it is. The peak of cricket, that is how

England versus Australia is marketed. Even the treasure

treasured turf of Lord's was recently turned over to

schoolchildren. Grass roots as much as the Ashes

will define cricket's future. And now the weather prospects for

the first Ashes Test. the first Ashes Test.

Here is the weather with Darren. Today is turning into another summer

scorcher, temperatures soaring in the sunshine. 27 Celsius in the

south-west, but 10 Celsius cooler where we have the cloud in the east

of England. That is getting burned off inland. There is drier air

coming in from the North Sea. The low cloud is shrinking. Chilly on

the coast of the north and the east of Scotland. Inland warmer than

yesterday. 27 Celsius in Stirling. A lovely warm day away from the North

Sea costs. The odd patch of low cloud could linger. Not as extensive

as it is. Most places to see the sun. Inland is where the highest

temperatures are. 30 Celsius in the south-west, parts of Wales A wind

running through the Channel. An easterly wind, that is why we get

the higher temperatures in the west, but a superday in the south-west. A

cracking day for Wales. We have hit 27 Celsius across the western side

of Northern Ireland. So warmer than it has been for a long time here. To

end the day, lots of barbecues going this evening. A warm evening and

night. Most with clear skies. Patchy low cloud over eastern areas of

England and rain in the far nor f of Scotland. Those are the temperatures

in the towns and the cities tonight. Tomorrow, the low cloud is burnt

back. The odd patch lingering around the North Sea coasts. Damp weather

in the far north-east of Scotland. Otherwise, lots of sunshine. The

winds light away from the Channel kess, the temperatures up to the

mid-to high 20s. A warmer day than today in the

north-east of England. Where the low cloud is, temperatures are lower. A

weak weather front in the north of Scotland tomorrow. That is moving

south on Wednesday to bring a change. Not in the way of rain but

more cloud and dropping the temperatures significantly over many

parts of the country. The warmest weather is over southern England and

South Wales, but let's have a look at the Ashes. The first day on

Wednesday at Trent Bridge. A good deal of cloud but not feeling cold.

Not as warm as it is now but cooler for many places over the middle of

the week. Then hotting up in time for the weekend and most places will

for the weekend and most places will be fine and dry.

And a reminder of the main story: More than 40 people have died in

Egypt as the army opens fire on supporters of the ousted President,
