:00:15. > :00:18.This is BBC News. Me. A deal in principle on the US debt America's

:00:18. > :00:23.political leaders finally agree prevent the Government running out

:00:23. > :00:29.of cash. At what price? Are all politicians onboard? Neither side

:00:29. > :00:34.got what they wanted. But it is the essence of compromise. A second day

:00:34. > :00:41.of violence in Syria, tanks have continued to target protestors in

:00:41. > :00:46.the city of Hama. Norway remembers the 77 people killed in last

:00:46. > :00:51.month's attacks. The Prime Minister warns against a witch hunt. And

:00:51. > :00:54.they are the flowers which have captivated millions. Now the

:00:54. > :01:04.inspiration for Monet's famous masterpieces are getting a new

:01:04. > :01:14.

:01:14. > :01:21.Welcome. There have been weeks of uncertainty but now politicians in

:01:21. > :01:25.the US are poised to vote on a deal to avert an unprecedented debt

:01:25. > :01:30.default. The plan thrashed out between Republican and democratic

:01:30. > :01:34.leaders would raise the country's debt ceiling. Also includes the

:01:34. > :01:40.same amount in spending cuts. There are still objections on both sides

:01:40. > :01:43.and the plan still needs approval in the US Congress. From Washington

:01:43. > :01:49.our correspondent has the latest and this piece contains flash

:01:49. > :01:53.photography. Another day of frenetic activity on Capitol Hill.

:01:53. > :01:57.Law makers gathering to hear ha their leaders have agreed to and

:01:57. > :02:02.give their verdict. Last night after weeks of uncertainty the

:02:02. > :02:07.President said the talking was over. I want to announce ta the leaders

:02:07. > :02:11.of both parties have reached an agreement, that will reduce the

:02:11. > :02:14.deficit, and avoid default. The default that would have had a

:02:14. > :02:21.devastating effect on the economy. So what do we know about the deal

:02:21. > :02:27.on the table? First of all, it sets a new debt ceiling of $16.7

:02:27. > :02:33.trillion. It says future Government spending should be cut by $1

:02:33. > :02:38.trillion and establishes a con Greggsal committee to come up with

:02:38. > :02:41.deeper cuts. Joe Biden is in Congress to help seal the deal

:02:41. > :02:45.unwilling to sound too confident. There is plenty for everyone to

:02:45. > :02:51.dislike about the plan. The top Democrat in the Senate is holding

:02:51. > :02:55.his nose. Even as he sells it. one got what they wanted. Even had

:02:56. > :03:01.to give something up. People on the right are upset, people on the left

:03:01. > :03:05.are upset. People in the middle are upset. It was a compromise. On Wall

:03:05. > :03:09.Street, which never really doubted that a deal would be done, markets

:03:09. > :03:14.rose this morning. The latest dismal US manufacturing news then

:03:14. > :03:18.sent them down again. This has been a bruising ugly fight. Further

:03:19. > :03:23.eroding public faith in Congress. The deal if it passes helps to stop

:03:23. > :03:33.the rot. But underlying debates about the size and function of

:03:33. > :03:38.Government rage on. To discuss this I am joined by journalist, author

:03:38. > :03:42.Geoff mad rick for the New York Times. Good to see you. What do you

:03:42. > :03:46.think we have seen on Capitol Hill? Has it been a political debate

:03:46. > :03:51.about what is best for the American economy or a political debate about

:03:51. > :03:54.what is best for Republicans or Democrats? Well it has ban

:03:54. > :03:59.political debate about Republicans and Democrats. Certainly it is not

:04:00. > :04:05.what is best for the economy. We averted perhaps and we don't know

:04:05. > :04:09.yet, an iceberg but we are still in rough seas, and there maybe more

:04:09. > :04:16.out there. Maybe that is not the best metaphor because cutting

:04:16. > :04:22.spending now, in an economy that is so weak, will probably weaken this

:04:22. > :04:25.economy further, meaning higher unemployment. Less investment. Less

:04:25. > :04:31.consumer spending and no wage increases. I can't see how the

:04:31. > :04:35.American people will enjoy that, in a way they have been conned into

:04:35. > :04:40.thinking an answer is cutting the size of Government right now, and

:04:40. > :04:46.it isn't. But the Republicans and Democrats are both trying to score

:04:46. > :04:50.political points and I think what is guiding President Obama most is

:04:50. > :04:56.a re-election campaign. This is to longer about the best economic

:04:56. > :04:59.policy for America but how to position yourself for November 2012.

:04:59. > :05:03.Wet President Obama has more tweet followers when he appealed for

:05:03. > :05:09.people to tweet him and other politicians on Capitol Hill. How do

:05:09. > :05:14.you think he has come across in this situation? I think he is

:05:14. > :05:18.probably given what I have said, done pretty well. I think he has

:05:18. > :05:24.portrayed himself as a mild mannered sensible person, in this

:05:24. > :05:30.debate, and I think for a while, people will respect that, so in

:05:30. > :05:35.that sense n I think he has come accomplished his political goal.

:05:35. > :05:41.The problem is the economy may not accommodate that goal. That has

:05:41. > :05:46.been his problem since the bad loss in 2010. His White House has

:05:46. > :05:51.interpreted that loss as a message that they have to cut Government

:05:51. > :05:57.spending, that the Government's too big, that spending is hurting, the

:05:57. > :06:01.deficits are enormous and promise to be enormous. In my view at least,

:06:01. > :06:04.and your viewers should t "no" know a lot of people agree with that, in

:06:04. > :06:11.my view and the much more correct view and many economists believe

:06:11. > :06:17.this, jobs were the issue, the lack of jobs, and this agreement will

:06:17. > :06:21.not create jobs in America and get the growth path back to 3-4% a year

:06:21. > :06:26.that is necessary to get the unemployment rate down to any kind

:06:26. > :06:30.of reasonable level. OK. We must leave it there. Than you for

:06:30. > :06:33.speaking to us. For the second day in a row, Government forces in

:06:33. > :06:37.Syria have opened fire on protestors. On Sunday, more than

:06:37. > :06:40.one hundred people were killed in attacks across the country. Today

:06:40. > :06:43.the European Union announced further sanctions on Syria, and the

:06:43. > :06:48.UN Security Council is preparing to hold an emergency meeting to

:06:48. > :06:52.discuss the situation. Foreign journalists are restricted from

:06:52. > :07:00.reporting freely within Syria, so Jim Muir sent this report from

:07:00. > :07:04.Beirut. It was army day in Syria. A chance for the President to thank

:07:04. > :07:09.his military for all it is doing, to protect the nation from the

:07:09. > :07:19.plots he says are being woven against the country. And the army

:07:19. > :07:21.

:07:21. > :07:29.is paying a price.. Almost every day there are military funerals.

:07:29. > :07:35.Today at least half a dozen killed in yesterday's clashes. Up in Hama

:07:35. > :07:42.the army's role is not seen as so heroic. These are some of the tanks

:07:42. > :07:45.the Government says never went into the city. Tank shells machine guns

:07:45. > :07:50.and sniping claimed score of civilian lives according to

:07:50. > :07:54.activists. It was one of the bloodiest days since the up rising

:07:54. > :07:59.began more than four months ago. It stirred widespread international

:07:59. > :08:02.condemnation.. We were very shocked by what happened yesterday. There

:08:02. > :08:06.has never within any justification for what has been going on. You

:08:07. > :08:10.can't justify attacking civilians who are exercising their right to

:08:10. > :08:14.democratic protest. You can't send in the tanks and attack them like

:08:14. > :08:19.that. We have condemned in it in the strongest possibly terms.

:08:19. > :08:22.of Hama seems to be against the regime. It has had the biggest

:08:22. > :08:27.protest rallies anywhere. For the past month, the city has been

:08:27. > :08:33.virtually taken over by its own people. That is why the regime felt

:08:33. > :08:38.it had to three to take it back and will surely try again. Civilians

:08:38. > :08:45.are in danger but they say they don't want outside intervention.

:08:45. > :08:52.no, no, not at all. We refuse all military interference, just we need

:08:52. > :08:57.political support for our opinions, we don't want, we will continue our

:08:57. > :09:02.peaceful up rising without weapons, even if they shoot us, kill us we

:09:02. > :09:07.won't use weapons. It is in the International Arena that part of

:09:07. > :09:11.the battle is being waged. Syrian nationals have been stages for and

:09:11. > :09:14.against the Government. The European Union's preparing to

:09:14. > :09:19.announce more punitive economic sanctions. And there is growing

:09:19. > :09:24.pressure for a UN Security Council meeting to condemn the Syrian

:09:24. > :09:29.regime. China, Russia and others are against, though Moscow has said

:09:29. > :09:34.the violence against civilians must stop. They are put off by the messy

:09:34. > :09:41.NATO operation in Libya. The Syrian people are paying the price for

:09:41. > :09:45.what is perreceived -- perceived as an endless intervention in Libya.

:09:45. > :09:51.So China and Russia are saying we are not signing up again, but the

:09:51. > :09:56.problem is, that by refusing to act, they are allowing the massacres to

:09:56. > :10:03.continue, so the Syrian people are paying for the mistakes being made

:10:03. > :10:07.in Libya. The up shot is that the President does not have to worry

:10:07. > :10:14.about international intervention. The diplomatic and economic

:10:14. > :10:18.pressures might have a cumulative effect, but that is in the long run.

:10:19. > :10:23.Four-and-a-half months on the up rising shows no sign of petering

:10:23. > :10:30.out but this ruthless regime is far from sure and clearly it isn't

:10:30. > :10:34.imminent. Protestors and troops have clashed in Egypt's Tahrir

:10:34. > :10:38.Square, hundreds of protestors have been camped out for the past three

:10:38. > :10:42.weeks. Trouble started as military police moved in to dismantle their

:10:43. > :10:47.tents for Ramadan. They had been calling for fast erreforms

:10:47. > :10:51.following the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak last February. The BBC's

:10:51. > :10:55.correspondent is in Cairo and joins me now on the phone from Tahrir

:10:55. > :11:01.Square. What is the scene there now at the moment? Well, let me

:11:01. > :11:08.describe what I am seeing at the moment. Opposite me are two

:11:08. > :11:13.armoured vehicles, and to my left, a police vehicle, in the main round

:11:13. > :11:17.about normally where the tents are supposed to be, they are now

:11:17. > :11:23.completely gone. None whatsoever, no protestors whatsoever, instead

:11:23. > :11:31.the ring is filled with military police, almost to the brink really.

:11:31. > :11:36.To my left, police is everywhere and they are cordoning off the

:11:36. > :11:40.complex, the big building. Not a protestor to be found and this of

:11:40. > :11:46.course follows from when the army have gone in, earlier today, taken

:11:46. > :11:51.down all the tents, arrested a dozen people, and they were

:11:51. > :11:57.reporting clashes between the army and protestors. How stable is Egypt

:11:57. > :12:00.at the moment? Sorry I didn't catch that. Just how stable is Egypt at

:12:00. > :12:05.the moment? It appears that tensions continue to rise?

:12:05. > :12:09.Absolutely. It is a very very tense situation at the moment and it was

:12:09. > :12:14.promising to be a tense Ramadan from the beginning. I mean, you

:12:14. > :12:23.know, there were clashes between shop owners and protestors

:12:23. > :12:29.yesterday, the atmosphere is very tense, some people are very

:12:29. > :12:35.sceptical, saying this is a display on the council's part to address

:12:35. > :12:40.people nothing is going to happen, and the ex-President Hosni Mubarak

:12:40. > :12:43.is not going to be brought to justice according to some. We have

:12:43. > :12:48.yet to hear from the protestors about their next movement, whether

:12:48. > :12:53.or not they are going to return to the square at any point. Many

:12:53. > :12:57.thanks. Now, a look at some of the day's other news stories. Aid

:12:57. > :13:04.agencies have launched a vaccination campaign against polio

:13:04. > :13:10.and measles in Dadaab area. A refugee camps in the Wajir district,

:13:10. > :13:15.aid agencies fear an outbreak of disease. The huge number of

:13:15. > :13:21.refugees fleeing smar ya make it a mammoth task. According to the UN

:13:22. > :13:24.there are 380,000 registered refugees and mow authorise on the

:13:25. > :13:30.fringes of the camps. The Italian authorities say they have found the

:13:30. > :13:34.bodies of 25 people in the hold of -- hold of a boat crossing the

:13:34. > :13:40.Mediterranean to Lampedusa. According to survivors, the 15

:13:40. > :13:44.metre boat was carrying nearly 300 people and set sail from Libya two

:13:44. > :13:48.days ago. BBC News programmes on radio and television have been

:13:48. > :13:52.affected by a 24-hour strike by journalists, the second in two

:13:52. > :13:57.weeks. Members of the National Union of Journalists, the NUJ have

:13:57. > :14:02.walked out to protest that 400 people in The World Service and BBC

:14:02. > :14:06.monitoring have been made redundant against their will. The Cuban

:14:06. > :14:10.President Raul Castro will address the nation at the National Assembly

:14:10. > :14:15.today, to push through economic reforms. The plan will allow people

:14:15. > :14:19.to buy property and set up small businesses, it would involve

:14:19. > :14:24.eliminating a million public Seb for jobs. The singer Amy

:14:24. > :14:27.Winehouse's father has today pleaded with the Government to

:14:27. > :14:32.reform drug rehabilitation centres for youngster, his daughter's

:14:32. > :14:37.battles with drink and drugs before her death led Mitch wine house to

:14:37. > :14:41.make a plea to politicians for better services for addicts.

:14:41. > :14:46.Norwegian police say the man accused of the killings in Norway

:14:46. > :14:50.ten days ago was seen with another man in the days before the attacks.

:14:50. > :15:00.Anders Behring Breivik was reportedly seen buying fertiliser

:15:00. > :15:02.with a man outside a depot in Oslo and spotted w on a boat. The

:15:02. > :15:12.Norwegian Royal Family joined politicians to remember the 77

:15:12. > :15:14.

:15:14. > :15:18.A shrine to the fallen. So many flowers and candles now surround

:15:18. > :15:28.Oslo's cathedral that other impromptu memorials have sprung up

:15:28. > :15:32.around Norway's capital. Today, at the country's parliament, the

:15:32. > :15:38.Storting, politics was put aside as the King and Crown Prince led a

:15:38. > :15:42.memorial for each of Anders Behring Breivik's 77 victims. As relatives

:15:42. > :15:50.of some of those who died watched on, the Prime Minister said all of

:15:51. > :15:57.Norway had lessons to learn. Translation I ask, from this podium,

:15:57. > :16:04.that we do not start a witch-hunt. The unity we have shown calls for

:16:04. > :16:10.continued generosity. We all have something to learn from the tragedy.

:16:10. > :16:16.It was, perhaps, the most unusual meeting in the parliament's 197

:16:16. > :16:22.year history. The music of Norwegian violinists are very

:16:22. > :16:27.jealous and replacing political debate. -- and Norwegian violinist

:16:27. > :16:31.Arve Tellefsen. Some victims still lie in hospital. At the scene of

:16:31. > :16:35.the bomb attack, 9,000 workers and able to return to their offices.

:16:35. > :16:40.They have been told to extend their summer holidays until the key Repp

:16:41. > :16:44.is complete. Turkey must improve its border

:16:44. > :16:48.controls before it is allowed to join the European Union. That is

:16:48. > :16:52.the assessment from a group of British parliamentarians concerned

:16:52. > :16:55.about both people and drugs being smuggled into Europe. They have

:16:56. > :17:02.also called for an assessment of how many Turks would youth -- moved

:17:02. > :17:07.to the UK if they were part of the On the map, Turkey seems physically

:17:07. > :17:12.distanced from its EU member neighbours. The country shows only

:17:12. > :17:16.a tiny fraction of its border with Bulgaria and Greece. The greatest

:17:16. > :17:20.book of his boundary lies in the East, leading to Iran, Iraq and

:17:21. > :17:24.Syria. And that is what is worrying the Home Affairs Committee, turning

:17:24. > :17:28.their attention away from the phone hacking scandal for the time being.

:17:29. > :17:32.Keith Vaz and his colleagues are concerned the spread of the EU to

:17:32. > :17:42.incorporate Recep Tayyip Erdogan would leave Britain full report,

:17:42. > :17:44.

:17:44. > :17:48.thanks to Turkey's vulnerable -- Turkey's neighbours. Already up to

:17:48. > :17:53.80% of heroin traffic from Afghanistan into the EU comes via

:17:53. > :17:59.Turkey. On top of that, they say, the border between Turkey and

:17:59. > :18:03.Greece is currently the biggest live coal from illegal immigrants.

:18:03. > :18:06.People who come illegally from Turkey, not Turkish people but

:18:06. > :18:11.Afghans and Syrians and Moroccans and from every nationality in the

:18:11. > :18:16.world, they want to come and settle in London. Or they want to go to

:18:16. > :18:19.Western Europe. They do not want to stay in Turkey. So our border

:18:19. > :18:23.actually at the moment is the border between Greece and Turkey.

:18:23. > :18:27.That is why it is so vital for our security. The home affairs

:18:27. > :18:30.committee is calling on Britain and other EU countries to help Turkey

:18:30. > :18:35.strengthen its border against unwanted attention from its

:18:35. > :18:40.troubled neighbours before it can hope to join the EU.

:18:40. > :18:43.A key meeting has begun to elect the new military top brass for

:18:43. > :18:48.Turkey after the country's chief of staff resigned in protest last week.

:18:48. > :18:52.The four-day military Security Council, meeting in Ankara, began

:18:52. > :18:56.with a visit to Ataturk's memorial. The commander stepped down after

:18:56. > :19:00.ongoing tension and the arrest of dozens of generals in alleged coup

:19:00. > :19:05.plot. To discuss that we are joined by

:19:05. > :19:08.Fadi Hakura, from the London-based think-tank at Chatham House. A lot

:19:08. > :19:12.of focus on Turkey at the moment. We just saw there that it has been

:19:12. > :19:17.put under more pressure to improve its have human rights record, its

:19:17. > :19:20.border controls, as it comes into the YE. And yet we have these

:19:20. > :19:25.admirals who have kind of pushed Turkey back decades. What is going

:19:25. > :19:29.on? Essentially, the civilian authorities have taken over control

:19:29. > :19:35.of the military. This caused the resignation of the military is

:19:35. > :19:40.senior command. It was a manifest of their weakness now, in the

:19:40. > :19:43.ongoing tensions between the military and the Government.

:19:43. > :19:48.yet the European Union and NATO is looking at Turkey as a very

:19:48. > :19:51.important ally in the war against terrorism and to control the move

:19:51. > :19:56.of terrorism around the country. Do you think this would not that kind

:19:56. > :19:59.of confidence in the country? not think so can stop it has been a

:19:59. > :20:02.long time coming. It has been a process where the power of the

:20:02. > :20:05.senior military commanders has been diluting in favour of the civilian

:20:05. > :20:09.Government and what has really happened in the last few days is a

:20:09. > :20:12.full consolidation of the Government's control over the

:20:12. > :20:17.military branch of Government. do you think will happen now over

:20:18. > :20:22.the coming weeks? The Prime Minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip

:20:22. > :20:28.Erdogan, now enjoys unparalleled power in modern Turkish history. He

:20:28. > :20:35.will seek to appoint military commanders that are very closely

:20:35. > :20:39.aligned to the Government. Thank you. Fadi Hakura from Chatham House.

:20:39. > :20:41.The Indian Government is due to introduce a new anti-corruption

:20:41. > :20:46.bill in the monsoon session of Parliament which gets under way on

:20:46. > :20:51.Monday. It's big issue in India after the mortar billion-dollar

:20:51. > :20:56.Telecom scandal. -- it is a big issue.

:20:56. > :21:01.For India's billion strong population, corruption is part of

:21:01. > :21:05.daily life. Paying bribes is a matter of course. But now it has

:21:05. > :21:11.taken on new proportions. Creating underground economies of

:21:11. > :21:15.unaccounted many, valued at anywhere between $500 billion and

:21:15. > :21:19.one trillion dollars. Over the years, Indians have come to accept

:21:19. > :21:23.corruption as something they have to live with. But there are signs

:21:23. > :21:27.of this attitude changing. There are no longer willing to take it

:21:27. > :21:30.lying down. Part of this is because as India has got richer, the scale

:21:30. > :21:34.of corruption has reached incredible heights, involving

:21:34. > :21:37.millions and millions of dollars. And over the past couple of years,

:21:38. > :21:42.we have had a number of high- profile cases involving senior

:21:42. > :21:48.Government officials, scandals that have gripped the country and

:21:48. > :21:53.disgusted ordinary Indians. In February, a former Cabinet minister

:21:53. > :22:00.was arrested in connection with a Telecom scandal. It is estimated to

:22:00. > :22:06.have cost India $40 billion in lost revenue. It marched the head of

:22:06. > :22:12.India's corruption -- anti- corruption watchdog had to resign

:22:12. > :22:16.as he faced corruption charges. And an official in last year's

:22:16. > :22:24.Commonwealth Games was arrested for alleged financial irregularities.

:22:24. > :22:26.Many believe big businesses or equally culpable. The big

:22:26. > :22:32.businesses wishing to India were very much part of the corruption.

:22:32. > :22:37.It is not about petty corruption. It is at the height levels. It is

:22:37. > :22:41.white-collar crime. The pressure is on to pass an anti-corruption law,

:22:41. > :22:47.first introduced 40 years ago. But it has been ignored by successive

:22:47. > :22:49.governments. Many now realise that India's growing culture of

:22:50. > :22:56.corruption could undermine its ambition to become the next global

:22:56. > :23:00.superpower. It is a garden immortalised in

:23:00. > :23:04.paint which inspired one of the great artists. Monet lived at

:23:04. > :23:08.Giverny near Paris for more than 40 years and his paintings of the

:23:08. > :23:11.gardens there have been applied by millions. The gardens still attract

:23:11. > :23:21.thousands of visitors each year and are kept as Monet designed them.

:23:21. > :23:22.

:23:23. > :23:32.And there is a new head gardener, It is not a French garden.

:23:33. > :23:33.

:23:33. > :23:38.Certainly not an English garden. It is, of course, a painter's garden.

:23:38. > :23:44.Claude Monet spent 53 years and his bra home in his Giverny,

:23:44. > :23:49.immortalising on canvas the garden he had created. Today it is the

:23:49. > :23:53.responsibility of James Priest, the new English head gardener. It is

:23:53. > :23:58.his job to bring the impressionist's masterpieces back

:23:58. > :24:02.to life. It has a special place in everybody's parts. Everyone who

:24:02. > :24:06.knows a Monet picture comes back to this garden and can recognise what

:24:06. > :24:10.they have seen. There is something beautiful, romantic, familiar about

:24:10. > :24:18.this garden that any body with a little bit of sensitivity, poetry

:24:18. > :24:22.in them, can find when they come and visit. Monet did not like

:24:22. > :24:27.organised or constrained gardens. He married flowers according to

:24:27. > :24:33.their colours and left them to grow freely. He planted his garden, or

:24:33. > :24:37.part of it, a here just to get flowers to paint and a Rayleigh day.

:24:37. > :24:42.And little by little, he was caught by the fever of gardening. It made

:24:42. > :24:46.the garden more intense and interesting. He had seven Gardens

:24:46. > :24:51.in the end, so he became a real garden at the end, as I might one

:24:51. > :24:54.day become a little bit of a painter. Before long, Monet had

:24:54. > :24:59.diverted a river to create this pond, which he would paint

:24:59. > :25:03.repeatedly as part of the famed Waterlilies series. So obsessed was

:25:04. > :25:09.he by this image, he sent his gardeners out daily to collect the

:25:09. > :25:13.algae and wipe the lily pads clean. He even had the road walkers tar

:25:14. > :25:18.the adjacent chalk roads on which motorcars were kicking up dust

:25:18. > :25:23.which settled on the border. The algae scooping continues to this

:25:23. > :25:28.day. In the end, Monet dedicated himself blessed to the flowers,

:25:28. > :25:33.more to the light and reflections in his pond. Today should only

:25:33. > :25:41.receives half a million visitors a year who try to do the same. --

:25:41. > :25:48.Giverny. Never have -- never before had a Cardion Ab shaped his garden

:25:48. > :25:54.as Monet had done. Soft lines, gentle lines. Putting the touches

:25:54. > :26:00.of colour ink. So looking at his paintings, trying to analyse his

:26:00. > :26:06.paintings. In other words, he must put down the trial and start to see

:26:06. > :26:11.it with a brush. -- put down the spade.

:26:11. > :26:16.Before we go, a bit of sport. England have beaten India by 319

:26:16. > :26:19.runs, taking out the second Test with more than a day to spare. The

:26:19. > :26:24.game finished around an hour ago at Trent Bridge here in England, here

:26:24. > :26:29.with the home side having a 2-0 lead in the four match series. What

:26:29. > :26:36.went wrong for the ICC Test champions? Here is a legend and

:26:36. > :26:41.I do not know if they were complacent or under-prepared.

:26:41. > :26:46.England have been a far better side in the first Test and this Test as

:26:46. > :26:52.well. What is their explanation or what can be blamed? I do not know.

:26:52. > :26:58.They hide -- they have some great coaches and they should be asked

:26:58. > :27:02.that question. I do not understand. England in England are a very, very

:27:02. > :27:12.good side. They perhaps underestimated the opposition.

:27:12. > :27:15.

:27:15. > :27:18.It is a rather cloudy day across western parts of the United Kingdom.

:27:18. > :27:21.Sunshine in the South East. Tomorrow it will beak every week

:27:22. > :27:26.bit as warm too hot, but still there is unit. There is a weather

:27:26. > :27:30.front straddling the UK. Bringing cloud and patchy rain in the West

:27:30. > :27:34.today and tonight and tomorrow morning the rain turns heavier

:27:35. > :27:41.across northern England and eastern San southern Scotland. It will be a

:27:41. > :27:48.By 4pm in the afternoon, there will still be one or two showers around

:27:48. > :27:54.four balls and England into the Midlands. Stilt shatters, though. -

:27:54. > :27:59.- still shattered, though. Variable cloud, some chap, but noticeably

:27:59. > :28:03.very humid. Still very warm. For south-west England, Wales and

:28:03. > :28:08.north-west England, where you have had a lot of cloud through the day

:28:08. > :28:11.today and patchy rain, tomorrow it will be brighter. The cloud will be

:28:11. > :28:16.trying to break in the afternoon and it will feel warmer. Also

:28:16. > :28:21.warmer in Belfast despite there being a good deal of cloud across

:28:21. > :28:23.Northern Ireland. A warm day in Glasgow. Still a lot of cloud in
