Lloyds Bank partly owned by the taxpayer is back in profit. Losses

:00:12.:00:18.

in 2012, but it has already made �2 billion this year. Its share price

:00:18.:00:25.

is up. There is a great opportunity for the Government to make a profit.

:00:25.:00:29.

The BBC has learnt the Government could start selling its stake as

:00:29.:00:34.

early as Monday morning. Also tonight: The American whistleblower,

:00:34.:00:39.

Edward Snowden, disappears from Moscow airport. He has got

:00:39.:00:44.

temporary asylum in Russia. More than 200 raids across the

:00:44.:00:47.

country as officials look for illegal immigrants.

:00:47.:00:52.

Making profits out of parking, councils in England made half a

:00:52.:00:56.

billion pounds last year. And it is the comeback of the

:00:56.:01:02.

living room telly, but now everyone is doing their own thing.

:01:02.:01:07.

Coming up: A club-record fee involving Tottenham, but it is not

:01:07.:01:14.

Gareth Bale yet. Instead it it is Roberto Salgado who has arrived at

:01:14.:01:24.
:01:24.:01:36.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC's news at six. Hopes that the

:01:36.:01:40.

taxpayer will see a return on the billions spent on bailing out the

:01:40.:01:43.

banks rose today after Lloyds Banking Group announced a big

:01:43.:01:48.

profit. It made over just �2 billion in the first six months of

:01:48.:01:56.

the year. In the same period last year it lost �450 million. The

:01:56.:01:59.

Government could start selling its stake in the bank as early as

:01:59.:02:04.

Monday morning. Lloyds, taxpayers have owned a huge

:02:04.:02:10.

chunk of it since the crash of 2008, but a Sale side is about to go up

:02:10.:02:16.

on it. The privatisation could be the end of the disposing off �5

:02:16.:02:20.

billion of the shares to big City investors as soon as Monday morning.

:02:20.:02:25.

The chief secretary to the Treasury did not rule that out. There is not

:02:25.:02:30.

a fixed timetable and we are not going to rush it. The results are

:02:30.:02:34.

welcome as a sign the bank is continuing on the right path.

:02:34.:02:39.

Lloyds, in dire straits a few years back, can be sold because it is

:02:39.:02:44.

almost back in the pink. Profits in the first half of this year were

:02:45.:02:51.

�2.1 billion, compared to a loss in 2012. Lloyds is very close to being

:02:51.:02:56.

fully fixed. New management is in place and costs have been reduced

:02:56.:03:01.

and a lot of the business that is not essential part of the growth

:03:01.:03:07.

strategy has been sold or excepted. This is what the Chancellor will

:03:07.:03:15.

look at. 61p is what the taps alone needs to get the share price up to.

:03:15.:03:20.

73.6 pence is the price we paid for shares when we bailed out the bank.

:03:20.:03:25.

74p, the market price tonight, higher than what taxpayers pay for

:03:25.:03:31.

them. One of the reasons why Lloyds is so much more recovered and

:03:31.:03:36.

closer to privatisation than the other big semi nationalised banks,

:03:36.:03:41.

the Royal Bank of Scotland, is because Lloyds is all about this,

:03:41.:03:48.

branch banking, retail banking. It does not have RBS' complicated

:03:48.:03:54.

investment banking or much overseas. RBS, are probably still years away

:03:54.:03:58.

from its privatisation, but there will be a bit of important progress

:03:58.:04:03.

tomorrow with the announcement of a new chief executive. Meet Ross

:04:03.:04:10.

McEwan, the new boss. He is from New Zealand. Back at Lloyds an

:04:10.:04:14.

initial share sale would raise between 2.5 and �5 billion, very

:04:15.:04:20.

much a first step along the road to taxpayers getting back our �20

:04:20.:04:24.

billion. Robert, you say the Government could start selling its

:04:24.:04:29.

stake as early as Monday morning. How will George Osborne make that

:04:29.:04:36.

decision? The choice is sow now or wait until September or October

:04:36.:04:41.

because the city goes on holiday like most of the world he in a lot

:04:41.:04:46.

of August. If he misses the window of Monday or Tuesday, it is then

:04:46.:04:52.

very hard to press the button on the share sale until the autumn.

:04:52.:04:58.

There is momentum behind the share price as I've just mentioned. The

:04:58.:05:02.

shares closed tonight above the price which we as taxpayers paid

:05:02.:05:08.

for the state. He will not get that back if he were to try and sell

:05:08.:05:13.

this second because the big institutions that would buy the

:05:13.:05:17.

shares which demands a bit of a discount. But the Chancellor does

:05:17.:05:23.

not need to get the full prize that we paid in this initial sale

:05:23.:05:28.

because he is only selling a bit. He would hope that when he sells a

:05:28.:05:31.

more shares further down the track, the price will be higher. The

:05:31.:05:39.

dilemma it is a bird in the hand question. If he sells on Monday, he

:05:39.:05:44.

can be pretty confident he will get a reasonable price. There is a risk

:05:44.:05:48.

if he waits until the autumn that markets might have the jitters and

:05:48.:05:53.

the prize could be lowered. But there could be a wonderful some are

:05:53.:05:57.

on the stock market and the prize could be higher in the autumn. My

:05:57.:06:00.

hunch would be that he will go with the momentum and we will see

:06:00.:06:06.

something within days. The American whistleblower Edward Snowden,

:06:06.:06:11.

described by his lawyer as the most wanted man on the planet, has left

:06:11.:06:16.

Moscow airport. His lawyer said he had received the papers needed to

:06:16.:06:22.

enter Russian territory. Snowden, who exposed America's top-secret

:06:22.:06:27.

electronic surveillance programme, arrived in Russia in June. Daniel

:06:27.:06:31.

Sandford is at the Kremlin now. This is going to annoy the

:06:31.:06:37.

Americans. Yes, very much so. In the last few minutes, the White

:06:38.:06:42.

House spokesman has described the decision as extremely disappointing

:06:42.:06:46.

and said it undermines the long- standing co-operation between

:06:46.:06:51.

America and Russia on law and order. White House officials are already

:06:51.:06:56.

suggesting President Obama may now be reconsidering his summit which

:06:56.:07:00.

he was supposed to be having with Vladimir Putin in Moscow, the first

:07:00.:07:04.

proper summit that has ever been between that two men, now in

:07:04.:07:08.

jeopardy because Russia has decided to give temporary asylum to Edward

:07:08.:07:14.

Snowden. The Americans are so infuriated because of Edward

:07:14.:07:17.

Snowden claimed he could be tortured in America and he could

:07:17.:07:21.

face the death penalty and he could not face a fair trial. That has

:07:21.:07:26.

been accepted by the Russians and he has been allowed to leave the

:07:26.:07:30.

airport and he has evaded the media for five weeks and no-one will be

:07:30.:07:35.

able to find him now and less he wants to be found. The BBC has

:07:35.:07:40.

learnt two-thirds of fines issued to employers of illegal workers in

:07:40.:07:45.

the last five years remain unpaid. The Home Office issued almost �80

:07:45.:07:50.

million in fines and has so far only collected �25 million. The

:07:51.:07:55.

Home Office has been carrying out a major UK wide operation against

:07:55.:08:05.

illegal immigrants. Stay where you are. Stepping up the pressure to

:08:05.:08:09.

salvage its reputation. Since the Home Office took over

:08:09.:08:13.

responsibility for border controls in April, it has tried to send out

:08:13.:08:19.

a strong message. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

:08:19.:08:23.

Swansea today that meant moving in to arrest their shop worker,

:08:23.:08:28.

suspected of breaching a student visa, he admitted working here 12

:08:28.:08:33.

hours a day, six days a week and faces being deported in days.

:08:33.:08:38.

have to give 72 hours' notice, but we will be booking a flight for him

:08:38.:08:44.

in a few days' time. This was the first UK-wide state of rates. In

:08:44.:08:50.

Essex officers targeted a car-wash, trying to tackle a backlog of cases.

:08:50.:08:54.

We have a grip. We have an environment where we are making it

:08:54.:08:59.

increasingly difficult for people to be in the UK illegally. Back in

:08:59.:09:03.

Swansea a raid on a nail bar reveals that two more suspects. The

:09:03.:09:08.

woman tells of the so she entered the UK in the back of a lorry. The

:09:08.:09:14.

man was thought to have overstayed on his student visa. This is a

:09:15.:09:17.

public attempt to restore confidence in immigration controls.

:09:17.:09:22.

At the same time the Government is looking to double the maximum fine

:09:22.:09:28.

for employing illegal workers to �20,000. But the system has been

:09:28.:09:33.

failing. More than 8500 employers have been fined in the last few

:09:33.:09:40.

years. But only �25 million has been paid. The Government says its

:09:40.:09:44.

Immigration Bill will reduce unpaid fines. Its critics say it must do

:09:44.:09:50.

more. We do not need a one off stump for TV cameras, we need

:09:50.:09:55.

regular, concerted action to deal with this. Tonight rates are

:09:55.:09:59.

continuing across the UK. The Home Office hopes its message will

:10:00.:10:05.

travel beyond the borders. English local authorities have been

:10:05.:10:09.

heavily criticised for piling up huge profits from parking fines and

:10:09.:10:16.

permits. The RAC says the council's earned a total of nearly six added

:10:16.:10:20.

million pounds after their costs were taken into account. Outside

:10:20.:10:25.

London Cornwall and Brighton notched up the biggest profits.

:10:25.:10:30.

If you think the cost of parking is going up, the chances are you are

:10:30.:10:36.

probably right. Parking charges, residential permits and finds, say

:10:36.:10:41.

the RAC, last year generated most English councils vast cash

:10:41.:10:47.

surpluses, up �54 million on the year before. Cornwall council

:10:47.:10:51.

amassed one of the biggest surpluses. We are very old

:10:51.:10:58.

pensioners who do not have a lot of money, so we are very cross.

:10:58.:11:02.

money should be spent in the right place. It should go back to the

:11:02.:11:07.

general public and not be held. motorists in Cornwall think they

:11:08.:11:14.

have got it bad, it is striders in London that are worst hit. Eight

:11:14.:11:17.

out of 10 councils earning the biggest surpluses are in the

:11:17.:11:22.

capital city with Westminster City Council topping that table. Local

:11:22.:11:29.

authorities in England, over 350, generated a combined surplus of 560

:11:29.:11:34.

fact million pounds, with only a minority operating their parking

:11:34.:11:39.

services at a loss. The majority that generated a surplus must by

:11:39.:11:45.

law and that money to their transport budgets. It is reinvested

:11:45.:11:50.

back into the road into newt two ways systems, into concessionary

:11:50.:11:55.

fares to allow our elderly to use public transport. Everything goes

:11:55.:12:00.

back into transport. It is transparent and clear. That may be

:12:00.:12:05.

the case in Westminster, but last week a court ruled that parking

:12:05.:12:08.

charge rises in Barking in north London were unlawful because the

:12:08.:12:14.

money had not been spent appropriately. Barnet council

:12:14.:12:18.

already had a surplus of �4 million when the new charges were brought

:12:18.:12:25.

in. Then it brought a new charges which were very high. Meanwhile

:12:25.:12:28.

communities and local Government secretary Eric Pickles has tweeted

:12:28.:12:34.

his way into the row, saying unfair parking rules need to be reined in.

:12:34.:12:39.

That may mean it is local authorities, not drivers that are

:12:39.:12:44.

penalised. The a bizarre result in Zimbabwe's

:12:44.:12:48.

election may not be known for days, but the main opposition leader,

:12:48.:12:54.

Morgan Tsvangirai, has already called the polls as. President

:12:54.:12:59.

Robert Mugabe, who has led the country since 1980, is bidding for

:12:59.:13:08.

a 7th consecutive term in office. The vote was peaceful, the counting

:13:09.:13:13.

smooth so far, but already President Mugabe's opponents are

:13:13.:13:18.

crying foul, insisting Africa's oldest leader has stolen another

:13:18.:13:25.

election. This has been a farce because the credibility of this

:13:25.:13:28.

election has been marred by a violations which affect the

:13:29.:13:34.

legitimacy of its outcome. This is what he is complaining about,

:13:34.:13:39.

footage allegedly showing Robert Mugabe's supporters being bussed in

:13:39.:13:44.

to vote illegally. A vast numbers of potential opponents were unable

:13:44.:13:49.

to cast their ballots. Based on the empirical reports, regardless of

:13:49.:13:56.

the outcome, the credibility of the 2013 elections are seriously

:13:56.:14:01.

compromised by a systematic effort to disenfranchised urban voters, up

:14:01.:14:09.

to 1 million voters. Five years ago, Zimbabwe's last election ended in

:14:09.:14:13.

violence will start an economy end up down and an uncomfortable power-

:14:13.:14:17.

sharing Government followed. But President Mugabe always kept a

:14:17.:14:23.

tight grip on the security forces and the state media. With the

:14:23.:14:26.

economy stabilised he has campaigned to seize control of

:14:26.:14:31.

foreign and white own business and that has been popular. Robert

:14:31.:14:34.

Mugabe and his party could well be heading for a landslide victory,

:14:34.:14:41.

stolen or otherwise. Most Western observers have been banned and

:14:41.:14:44.

Zimbabwe's neighbours seemed unlikely to challenge the overall

:14:44.:14:54.
:14:54.:14:57.

threats on the social networking site Twitter has told the BBC that

:14:57.:15:01.

the threats were a new low in online abuse against women. Time Magazine's

:15:01.:15:03.

Catherine Mayer was threatened along with two other prominent female

:15:03.:15:09.

journalists. Sarah Campbell reports. Checking their Twitter accounts

:15:09.:15:13.

yesterday three female journalists found a message saying bombs had

:15:13.:15:16.

been placed outside the house. They were advised to stay somewhere else

:15:16.:15:23.

for the night. I have experienced online abuse, but I haven't had a

:15:23.:15:33.
:15:33.:15:35.

bomb threat made to my home. That is a new departure. I don't think any

:15:35.:15:43.

woman on Twitter manatees to escape without some level of abuse.

:15:43.:15:50.

-- manages. This has led to calls for the social networking site to do

:15:50.:15:54.

more. It says it is helping the police with investigations and

:15:54.:15:57.

improving the way people can complain about online attacks.

:15:57.:16:04.

of the things we are working on is simplifying the reporting process.

:16:04.:16:10.

We will be making it easier for people to report instances of abuse,

:16:10.:16:14.

where people are behaving irresponsibly, violating our rules.

:16:14.:16:18.

We do not allow specific threats of violence, we do not allow unlawful

:16:18.:16:22.

behaviour. Part of the problem is the very

:16:22.:16:27.

successful stop in Twitter's Case 400 million messages are sent every

:16:27.:16:35.

day, and another which constitutes abuse is a concern over the world.

:16:35.:16:40.

This lady complains for female rights in Asia and has been

:16:40.:16:45.

subjected to abuse online, including the threat of rape. This is

:16:45.:16:51.

happening all over the world. There is this kind of sentiment. From what

:16:51.:16:56.

I read of the experiences of other women, almost exactly the same kinds

:16:56.:17:00.

of abuse. Trying to close arguments by talking about women's looks

:17:00.:17:06.

appears to be a common phenomenon. Back in the UK the police

:17:06.:17:09.

investigation into the bomb threats continues, as does the debate over

:17:09.:17:17.

the best way to protect users from online abuse.

:17:17.:17:22.

It is 6:17pm. Our top story: Losses for Lloyds in 2012 turned to profit

:17:23.:17:25.

as the bank next �2 billion this year alone.

:17:25.:17:35.
:17:35.:17:36.

Still to come, and wicket that never was. New trouble over technology at

:17:46.:18:02.

While we have been on the BT has launched its new sports television

:18:02.:18:06.

service it challenges Sky's 20 year long dominance of sport television.

:18:06.:18:11.

The rivalry will be particularly fierce over football. BT has the

:18:11.:18:16.

rights to show 38 live Premier league games per season for the next

:18:16.:18:22.

three seasons at a cost of �738 million. Our sports visitor reports

:18:22.:18:30.

on the rivalry between these media giants. -- our sports reporter. The

:18:30.:18:33.

football season hasn't started yet but one of the biggest clashes is

:18:33.:18:38.

underway. After years of dominating the sport TV market Sky is facing a

:18:38.:18:48.

new threat from BT. At its vast new studio on the Olympic Park to date

:18:48.:18:52.

BT were getting ready to go live, but this isn't only about

:18:52.:18:57.

television, by offering its new sports channels free to broadband

:18:57.:19:00.

customers BT hopes to defend its position as the country 's leading

:19:00.:19:07.

Internet provider. Broadband and the ability to retain and acquire new

:19:07.:19:11.

customers in the world is the most important thing for BT, and having a

:19:11.:19:19.

sports channel business such as BT Sport two is the way we believe we

:19:19.:19:23.

can retain and acquire new customers.

:19:23.:19:27.

Sky is still the main player in the football rights market, its package

:19:27.:19:33.

of live Premier league games is more than three times bigger than BT that

:19:33.:19:39.

was but are they worried? We have our challenges in the past and we

:19:39.:19:44.

relish the challenge. It gets us really excited and invigorated and

:19:44.:19:48.

we cannot wait for the new season. You only have to look at the scale

:19:48.:19:52.

of this place to realise the ambition, but with so much money now

:19:52.:19:57.

being pumped into English but full -- football it is not only a big

:19:57.:20:00.

moment for television, but a defining moment for the national

:20:00.:20:05.

game. The last two decades has seen the TV rights bonanza for football.

:20:05.:20:11.

The first deal with Sky in 1992 was worth �190 million, but the

:20:11.:20:16.

three-year deal starting the season is worth over �3 billion. That is

:20:16.:20:22.

�6.5 million per game. Of course, the new windfall will not ease the

:20:22.:20:25.

tension between the all-powerful Premier League and those who run the

:20:25.:20:29.

England team. Some think the time has come to be balanced against

:20:29.:20:35.

priorities. There is an opportunity to bring all of football together,

:20:35.:20:39.

to stop people sniping at each other and say, what are we trying to

:20:40.:20:44.

achieve? And bring football together on the basis of all trying to

:20:44.:20:49.

achieve a set of goals. Whoever wins the battle between BT

:20:49.:20:53.

and Sky, one thing is already clear, the Premier League's financial

:20:53.:20:59.

control of the English game has just got bigger.

:20:59.:21:04.

30 new peers including several party donors have been appointed to the

:21:04.:21:07.

House of Lords bringing the total to nearly 800. That is the largest

:21:08.:21:11.

number since the removal of most hereditary peers in 1998. They

include the Conservative businessman Sir Anthony Bamford, former police

cans including kidnapping, rape and aggravated murder.

:23:17.:23:21.

When it comes to our television viewing habits it seems we are

:23:21.:23:25.

heading back to a time when the whole family fought for the living

:23:25.:23:34.

room sofa, but once there we are not necessarily doing the same thing.

:23:34.:23:38.

It is back in the 1950s Britain got the television bug and the set in

:23:38.:23:44.

the living room became a family evening for millions.

:23:44.:23:48.

Now it seems those days are back, and like this West London family we

:23:48.:23:53.

tend to what should together on the main set on other than children

:23:53.:23:57.

having their own televisions. On average we watch for hours each day,

:23:57.:24:01.

and life rather than pre-recorded or streamed television still accounts

:24:01.:24:06.

for most of our viewing -- and live. We are in the green, you feel like

:24:06.:24:10.

you're watching it with your kids that they could be text in 30 other

:24:10.:24:15.

people, on Facebook, so it is hard to know how much they are engaged

:24:15.:24:17.

but there is just enough conversation going on around the

:24:17.:24:21.

programme you know that you are together.

:24:21.:24:25.

Just as in the 1950s more and more of us are converging on the living

:24:25.:24:30.

room, and it is around one much bigger screen. 41% of homes have

:24:30.:24:35.

just the one television set, but the rise of mobile devices is changing

:24:35.:24:41.

the television experience. Half of all adults have a smartphone, and as

:24:41.:24:46.

for tablet computers 24% of households now own one of these. A

:24:46.:24:50.

quarter of us are using them to interact with programmes. He was one

:24:50.:24:55.

example. During Andy Murray's Wimbledon victory 1.1 million people

:24:55.:25:01.

were tweeting and 80% were doing it from a mobile device. People are

:25:02.:25:06.

very likely to use the smartphone or the tablet to watch television but

:25:06.:25:10.

also mediate multitask, do other things while they are watching the

:25:10.:25:16.

television. Also one in five of us are using our second screen to watch

:25:17.:25:20.

a different type of content while everybody else is watching the main

:25:20.:25:24.

screen in the living room. The average household contains three

:25:24.:25:28.

devices that can connect to the Internet but as technology moves on

:25:28.:25:31.

good old-fashioned television is still at the centre of the British

:25:31.:25:36.

home. In cricket strolling din Michael

Clarke has been showing some batting form on day one at Old Trafford.

:25:44.:25:51.

England lead the five match series 2-0.

:25:51.:25:55.

Ashes cricket isn't supposed to be easy so I suppose it was a

:25:55.:26:00.

reassuring day. England will not enjoy seeing this radio 300-3, they

are still playing. -- seeing Australia. It has been day about new

technology. England on the brink of the Ashes.

:26:12.:26:16.

This was time to be ruthless. Last chance territory for Australia

:26:16.:26:22.

already. Australia battling to stay in the Ashes. James Anderson, the

:26:23.:26:26.

local hero, frustrating. England were searching for something to

:26:26.:26:33.

happen when the Yorkshireman saw off the Queens land, James Watson out,

:26:33.:26:37.

Alastair Cook catching. Next week it was almost a diplomatic incident.

:26:37.:26:44.

The on field umpire decided he hit the ball on the way to the wicket.

:26:44.:26:48.

The review the decision and minutes of replays followed, none of which

showed contact with all and that the television umpire upheld the

:26:54.:26:57.

division -- decision. The Australian prime minister fumed on the other

:26:57.:27:02.

side of the world. One of the worst umpiring decisions he had ever

:27:02.:27:10.

seen, he tweeted full stop Graeme Swann bold, on to watch a as

Stuart Broad powerless and wicketless. The school board kept

ticking on, Australia 250. He told us he still believed in Australia,

:27:37.:27:40.

but runs leave -- speak louder than words.

:27:40.:27:44.

Michael Clarke accepted people might laugh when he said Australia could

win the series yesterday. Early days, but not much giggling at the

the contrast. In the North, persistent rain. Very different in

the south and east. The hottest day of the year so far in Jersey. We

:28:15.:28:23.

have seen the heat in the south-east. 34 degrees in Heathrow.

:28:23.:28:30.

That extended into South Yorkshire. The rain is starting to ease away
