:03:20. > :03:22.isolated at this summit? The argument David Cameron has lost may
:03:23. > :03:26.appear to be about one man but it is about something bigger, the man who

:03:57. > :04:00.undermining the position of national governments, undermining the power
:04:01. > :04:06.of national parliaments, and it hands new power to the European
:04:07. > :04:11.Parliament. When Margaret Thatcher swung her handbag, she was isolated
:04:12. > :04:17.and she won. Surely you are merely isolated. There are things that have
:04:18. > :04:21.changed since Margaret Thatcher. We have had several treaties, all of
:04:22. > :04:26.which have got rid of vetoes, so it is more difficult to stop things you
:04:27. > :04:30.don't like. The task of reforming Europe and securing Britain's place
:04:31. > :04:35.in a reformed Europe is going to be a long and tough campaign. It is
:04:36. > :04:41.going to involve mini engagements. Some will go well, some will go less
:04:42. > :04:45.well. -- many engagements. Chancellor Merkel and others agreed
:04:46. > :04:49.to what David Cameron called a few small steps forward, a review of his
:04:50. > :04:54.concerns about the way the EU works and the way the next president is
:04:55. > :04:57.chosen. But with Britain only backed by Hungary, his critics say he has
:04:58. > :05:04.been shown in capable of making friends. It represents, after weeks
:05:05. > :05:11.of spin and bluster from the Prime Minister, a total failure to deliver
:05:12. > :05:15.and an utter humiliation. Mr Cameron has barely a friend left in
:05:16. > :05:20.Brussels. His chances of renegotiating anything substantial
:05:21. > :05:24.have turned to dust. As David Cameron leaves the summit, the words
:05:25. > :05:29.of one German newspaper ring in his ears. They compared him with Wayne
:05:30. > :05:35.Rooney - he lines up the shot, losers and goes home. Ouch!

:05:48. > :06:02.Even whilst Europe's leaders were having dinner, the judgement had
:06:03. > :06:05.started. One German paper describes David Cameron as the loneliest man
:06:06. > :06:11.in Europe. He told the other leaders they would regret backing Mr
:06:12. > :06:17.Juncker, but they were unmoved. TRANSLATION: The decision for
:06:18. > :06:21.Jean-Claude Juncker is one which will allow us to have a commission
:06:22. > :06:24.president with European experience, who is willing to accommodate the
:06:25. > :06:29.wishes of individual member states, as well as the wishes of the
:06:30. > :06:33.European Parliament. Throughout the summit, the German Chancellor has
:06:34. > :06:37.appeared to reach out to Britain. She said ever closer union does not
:06:38. > :06:41.mean a 1's speed Europe. She said she shares some of Britain's
:06:42. > :06:46.concerns about what a modern Europe should look like. The message, that
:06:47. > :06:52.Mr Juncker is open to reform, is being pressed by senior German
:06:53. > :06:55.politicians. Jean-Claude Juncker said he is open to proposals from
:06:56. > :06:59.London on how to reform the European Union, how to cut red tape, how to
:07:00. > :07:03.make the European Union more efficient. But none of these words
:07:04. > :07:08.disguise the bitter divide over Mr Juncker. David Cameron sees a career
:07:09. > :07:12.insider whose election undermines the power of national parliaments.
:07:13. > :07:16.The German Chancellor sees a committed European. Among the
:07:17. > :07:20.leaders, there was anxiety that defeat for David Cameron could
:07:21. > :07:24.hasten the except of Britain from the EU. Even so, there was a note of
:07:25. > :07:30.frustration from the French president, who said Britain had to
:07:31. > :07:33.play by the same roles as others. TRANSLATION: When David Cameron
:07:34. > :07:37.speaks, it is legitimate to understand and to hear what he is
:07:38. > :07:41.saying. At the same time in Europe we need to learn to live together in
:07:42. > :07:46.a framework of rules and treaties. There is no other way out. There is
:07:47. > :07:53.lots of talk here of a humiliated David Cameron, Britain the serial
:07:54. > :07:55.loser, but that leaders did add a final paragraph that Britain's
:07:56. > :08:06.concerns about the future direction of Europe will need to be addressed.
:08:07. > :08:09.Nick Robinson is in Brussels. The result of the vote was not
:08:10. > :08:15.unexpected but it must have been a blow for Mr Cameron. How bad a day
:08:16. > :08:20.has this been for him? Not unexpected today, or yesterday, but
:08:21. > :08:24.very unexpected just a few weeks ago. David Cameron talked publicly
:08:25. > :08:29.about the allies he had, about the victory he could secure. He knows
:08:30. > :08:32.that having failed to stop a man who frankly many people watching this
:08:33. > :08:36.programme have not heard of and may not much care about, they will be
:08:37. > :08:39.more worried that he simply cannot achieve what they will care about,
:08:40. > :08:48.which is a reformed to immigration rules in Brussels, alter the size
:08:49. > :08:51.and scope and scale of the EU. Angela Merkel and others insist they
:08:52. > :08:55.want to work with Britain on the agenda of this organisation, that
:08:56. > :08:59.they will help David Cameron to reform Europe and to get his way.
:09:00. > :09:04.But Margaret Thatcher all those years ago ended up saying no, no, no
:09:05. > :09:08.to Europe. The prime Minister now must feel either that Europe's
:09:09. > :09:12.leaders will say that to him, or that the British electorate will do
:09:13. > :09:14.it and say, your approach is failing.
:09:15. > :09:17.Average house prices in England and Wales are rising at
:09:18. > :09:20.their fastest annual rate for four years, with London leading the way.
:09:21. > :09:23.Prices in the capital are up nearly 20% on last year, growth that's
:09:24. > :09:27.prompted the Bank of England to introduce curbs on mortgage lending.
:09:28. > :09:29.But elsewhere, such as in the north-east of England,
:09:30. > :09:47.For sale, but at what price? In London and the South, house prices
:09:48. > :09:53.are riding high. But elsewhere, there are -- they are still flying
:09:54. > :09:58.low and falling in some places. If you are in one of those areas, the
:09:59. > :10:02.north-east, for instance, this does not feel like a housing bubble. For
:10:03. > :10:08.many homeowners, the asset they purchased in good times has become a
:10:09. > :10:14.liability. How long has it been on the market? Over a year, and the
:10:15. > :10:20.prices are going down. Owners like Gillian, who bought her flat in
:10:21. > :10:26.Sunderland for ?125,000. She has been offered just over 100,000 for
:10:27. > :10:30.it, wiping out her deposit. I feel trapped in my own home. I want to
:10:31. > :10:40.move on. Last year, I thought I was going to move on. And I am still
:10:41. > :10:47.here. So much wealth tied up in our homes. They are up on average, but
:10:48. > :10:49.it all depends on where you live. In London, Waltham Forest leads the
:10:50. > :10:55.borough is showing an astonishing rate of increase, but look at Wales,
:10:56. > :11:02.where Merthyr Tydfil and many other places are sharply down over the
:11:03. > :11:05.past year. The same, and in the north-east, Hartlepool is down. That
:11:06. > :11:11.is the region showing the slowest rate of increase overall. Many homes
:11:12. > :11:16.are playing no part in the boom which is causing so much concern. It
:11:17. > :11:21.was different in the last housing crash and recovery in the 1990s. The
:11:22. > :11:26.north, then, was much more resilient, rising more to start with
:11:27. > :11:32.than London. This time, the high cost of live and Lope have held
:11:33. > :11:37.buyers back. People can't move, and they are stuck, some in negative
:11:38. > :11:40.equity. This agent who manages properties in the north-east warns
:11:41. > :11:43.that restrictions on mortgage lending being imposed by the Bank of
:11:44. > :11:50.England, which is uneasy about London, will make things worse. The
:11:51. > :11:54.ripple effect takes time to come out to some of these areas. We might be
:11:55. > :11:58.talking at least another 12 months before we feel that. If they put the
:11:59. > :12:05.brakes on now, I dread to think what could happen. Scotland also has
:12:06. > :12:08.areas where prices are dropping. Rising or falling, the housing

:12:17. > :12:18.was arrested at his home in London in February, after the police were
:12:19. > :12:21.contacted by Downing Street. The fact that David Rock was working
:12:22. > :12:28.at the heart of Downing Street in such a senior position before his
:12:29. > :12:43.arrest will raise serious questions. Yes, Fiona, Patrick Rock has worked
:12:44. > :12:46.for the Conservative Party for around three decades. He stood as a
:12:47. > :12:52.Parliamentary candidate and has known David Cameron since they were
:12:53. > :12:55.both special advisers in the 1990s. In 2011, the prime minister brought
:12:56. > :13:00.him back to Downing Street to be the deputy head of his policy unit, an
:13:01. > :13:04.important role. It was on the 13th of February that he was arrested in
:13:05. > :13:09.the early hours of the morning. He had resigned from his post the
:13:10. > :13:13.previous day. We have had confirmation from the National Crime
:13:14. > :13:18.Agency that he has now been charged with three counts of making indecent
:13:19. > :13:23.photographs of children, and with possession of 59 indecent images of
:13:24. > :13:26.children. He has been bailed and will appear before Westminster
:13:27. > :13:29.Magistrates' Court on July the 3rd. The Prime Minister was asked about
:13:30. > :13:32.this at a news conference in Brussels and said it was now
:13:33. > :13:34.entirely a matter for the courts and it would not be appropriate to

:14:51. > :14:55.contact. We have brothers from Bangladesh, Iraq, Cambodia. The next
:14:56. > :14:59.time he saw his friend was on TV, a week ago. It did shock me, seeing
:15:00. > :15:04.him like that. Knowing his intentions to go and help. He's
:15:05. > :15:10.there with a gun. It is hard to explain, isn't it? To be honest, you
:15:11. > :15:16.are not going to go to a battlefield without a gun, as you do not jump in
:15:17. > :15:19.a shower and expect not to get wet. There is sympathy here for fellow
:15:20. > :15:24.Muslims courting conflict in Syria and Iraq. But for him, that does not
:15:25. > :15:29.justify violence. His friend, though, seems to think differently.
:15:30. > :15:34.He maybe has an opinion that what he is doing is right. Some people might
:15:35. > :15:38.say it is wrong. You get to a stage and age in life where it is no

:18:25. > :18:29.but FIFA insist they had no choice. I think he should find a way to stop
:18:30. > :18:33.doing it. He should go through treatment. I don't know if it
:18:34. > :18:38.exists. He should do something for himself. It is definitely wrong.
:18:39. > :18:47.Tell that to the Suarez faithful. This was the scene at the airport

:22:03. > :22:05.all goes to plan, he'll meet Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals next

:22:09. > :22:10.afternoon, but went through to the fourth round in straight sets. Joe
:22:11. > :22:18.Wilson is at the All England Club. Yes, I think Andy Murray will have a
:22:19. > :22:22.lovely evening for his match, presumably with the roof open. The
:22:23. > :22:26.weather has been so much better than we had feared. Around Wimbledon,
:22:27. > :22:32.there have been one or two nasty surprises. Poise, power, precision -
:22:33. > :22:41.all things to think of when you are serving. Remember, doubles is a team

:23:04. > :23:07.he was fit to play on. And the one advantage of injuring the left

:23:19. > :23:22.Djokovic. Venus Williams may carry a certain weariness on to court, but
:23:23. > :23:26.there is one player who wasn't born when she made her Wimbledon debut.
:23:27. > :23:32.She can still show the touches of an all-time great. And at 34, there is
:23:33. > :23:39.still power and hunger, enough to take the first set against the 2011
:23:40. > :23:44.champion, Petra Kvitova. Venus Williams has to battle her own body,
:23:45. > :23:48.having been diagnosed with an auto-immune disease. As for battling
:23:49. > :23:53.her opponent, Kvitova took the second set after a tie-break. The
:23:54. > :23:56.third set progressed as an epic struggle between two women separated
:23:57. > :24:05.by a decade in age but not much else. Of course, it meant for many,
:24:06. > :24:09.a wait for Andy Murray. In the last few minutes, Kvitova prevailed
:24:10. > :24:15.finally in that third set 7-5. So the stage is set for Andy Murray,
:24:16. > :24:24.who has just strolled on to Centre Court to playing a Agut.
:24:25. > :24:29.Now there aren't many chances in life to see acts as diverse Dolly
:24:30. > :24:31.Parton, Metallica and the English National Ballet in one weekend - but
:24:32. > :24:35.that's what Glastonbury's offering this year. The diversity of the acts
:24:36. > :24:36.both in terms of age and musical persuasion has perhaps rarely been
:24:37. > :24:47.wider. Lizo Mzimba is there for us. Despite a gloomy and wet forecast,
:24:48. > :24:56.the start of the Festival turned out sunny with thousands flocking to the
:24:57. > :25:01.different acts across the site. Glastonbury's success depends on
:25:02. > :25:05.fans get to see the music they want to hear, especially as they spend
:25:06. > :25:09.more than ?200 on a ticket before it is announced who is playing. Many
:25:10. > :25:16.expressed their unhappiness when Glastonbury's choice for Saturday
:25:17. > :25:21.night headliner was revealed. Metallica are the first big metal
:25:22. > :25:26.band to be given such a prestigious headlining slot. Their reputation as
:25:27. > :25:29.one of music's most spectacular acts is one reason Glastonbury's founder
:25:30. > :25:36.thinks the pessimists will be proved wrong. I think they will go down
:25:37. > :25:42.really well. Their enthusiasm to play this event has been second to
:25:43. > :25:46.none, you know. There is no other band in the world that was so keen
:25:47. > :25:52.to play as Metallica. To many, the image is one of an event only for
:25:53. > :25:55.young music fans. One of Glastonbury's biggest performers
:25:56. > :25:58.disagrees. My mum hates festivals. She never goes anywhere that doesn't
:25:59. > :26:03.have a seat. She is here. If my mum can be here, it is for everyone. You
:26:04. > :26:06.think it's a very inclusive festival? Yes, if you ignore the mud
:26:07. > :26:19.and focus on the music, you are good! Blondie were having hits long
:26:20. > :26:25.before Ed Sheeran was even before. Music is what I do. It is what I
:26:26. > :26:30.love to do. I think I do it better than I did it before, so why
:26:31. > :26:35.shouldn't we perform for large audiences? And the thousands in an
:26:36. > :26:38.audience of all age groups gave every impression that this was
:26:39. > :26:44.exactly the kind of start to the Festival they were hoping for.
:26:45. > :26:48.Time for a look at the weather. It didn't look too muddy at
:26:49. > :26:50.Glastonbury. Are they going to be lucky?
:26:51. > :26:57.In the past hour, the heavens have opened. Glastonbury was not the only
:26:58. > :27:01.place to see lightning and downpours today. It shows where we have had
:27:02. > :27:05.the lightning strikes this afternoon. Some flooding from the
:27:06. > :27:08.thunderstorms in Norfolk. Then this batch of thunderstorms will move
:27:09. > :27:12.through the Glastonbury area and now more storms across parts of
:27:13. > :27:15.Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire. Lots of spray and surface water on
:27:16. > :27:19.the roads from the downpours covering a good part of England and
:27:20. > :27:22.Wales. If you are heading out, the storms may ease, but there will
:27:23. > :27:28.still be lots of showers through the night. Further north, it will stay
:27:29. > :27:35.generally dry. Another chilly one in Scotland. Mild in the south. Could
:27:36. > :27:38.turn misty after all the downpours so a grey, murky start. There will
:27:39. > :27:42.be more big showers to come tomorrow. More thunderstorms
:27:43. > :27:45.expected, more likely across the Midlands and then pushing into
:27:46. > :27:50.southern counties of England. The likelihood of some torrential,
:27:51. > :27:54.potentially thundery downpours could cause some problems, like today they
:27:55. > :27:59.will be hit-and-miss. Wimbledon won't be as lucky tomorrow. One or
:28:00. > :28:04.two big downpours in South Wales. Further north, a sprinkling of
:28:05. > :28:09.showers. But they will be few and far between. A bit of sunshine, but
:28:10. > :28:13.temperatures far from spectacular - 16 or 17 degrees. A cool start to
:28:14. > :28:17.Sunday. Down the eastern side, we will see more showers continuing.
:28:18. > :28:21.One or two elsewhere. Sunday looks like being the brighter day of the
:28:22. > :28:26.weekend. Many of us will see some sunshine. Temperatures far from
:28:27. > :28:29.spectacular for a June weekend. A bit of a split picture through the
:28:30. > :28:32.weekend. Sunny spells in the north on Saturday. Watch out for
:28:33. > :28:34.thunderstorms in the south. Sunday, the dry and brighter day of the
:28:35. > :28:44.weekend. That's all from the BBC News at Six,
:28:45. > :28:45.so it's goodbye from me - and on BBC One we now
