:14:54. > :15:00.The Pentagon has said they cannot afford any more cuts, so that will

:15:28. > :15:35.as long as these cuts do not go away, the 1.2 trillion dollars in

:15:44. > :15:48.expect to see one last time. It is kind of an enigma to everybody, but
:15:48. > :15:57.that would be another huge stumble for an American political system
:15:57. > :16:01.that seems to have lost its way You have got people trying to work
:16:01. > :16:06.for the public good, but always falling back on to party political
:16:06. > :16:10.prejudices. I was talking to some political folks this morning, no
:16:10. > :16:15.one is willing to fall on their sword. That is the overarching
:16:15. > :16:19.message we hear from both parties, no one is able to fall on their
:16:19. > :16:26.assault and do what is right. All the political figures are staring
:16:26. > :16:32.at a problem they know it exists. They saw trillion -- trillion
:16:32. > :16:36.dollars worth of debt recently. Everyone knows what he's to be done
:16:36. > :16:41.and no one wants to do what. That is what we are living with him
:16:41. > :16:46.watching 10. It is frustrating to be bolder political figures saying,

:16:53. > :16:57.over the last couple of months. Thank you.
:16:57. > :17:01.Let's return to our main story on this edition. While the Arab Spring
:17:01. > :17:06.appears to be progressing in the country which was the catalyst for
:17:06. > :17:11.the revolution, what has gone wrong in Egypt to have sparked a second
:17:11. > :17:18.spontaneous uprising in recent days? Let's go to Cairo and speak
:17:18. > :17:22.to our correspondent there who has been following the Arab Uprising.
:17:23. > :17:28.Some of the protesters demands have been met seemingly, but is it too
:17:28. > :17:31.little too late? I was in Tahrir Square and it is packed. People are
:17:31. > :17:36.still there, they are not leaving and there seems to be
:17:37. > :17:41.disappointment. They won more, they expected more, but they did not get
:17:41. > :17:45.it. They were looking for an immediate end to military rule, but
:17:45. > :17:49.they got a transferred to a civilian power by July at the
:17:49. > :17:55.earliest. There was a big gap between what the protesters are
:17:55. > :18:03.asking for and what the military was willing to give. That said, I
:18:03. > :18:06.expect the concessions will go well with the majority of Egyptians. We
:18:06. > :18:10.might see a disconnect between the hard core of protesters who want to
:18:10. > :18:15.stay until they get exactly what they want and other Egyptians who
:18:15. > :18:18.want to see a Writtle -- return to normalcy. They want to see
:18:18. > :18:23.elections on Monday as originally to a job and to continue the
:18:24. > :18:27.transition. That cap -- that gap will be interesting to see.
:18:27. > :18:32.there are also a disbelief about the military's role of are the last
:18:32. > :18:38.few months and their perceived to have been wanting to play on to
:18:38. > :18:44.power at all costs? The military has woefully mismanaged Egypt's
:18:44. > :18:47.transition. They have used many of the same authoritarian tactics as
:18:47. > :18:52.the old regime so that is where a lot of disillusion and frustration
:18:52. > :18:59.has come in. Sometimes even worse. Amnesty International says they
:18:59. > :19:03.even exceeded some of the torture and brutality of President Mubarak.
:19:03. > :19:09.That is a remarkable thing, in some ways they have been worse. When
:19:09. > :19:12.they came to power on 11th February, they promised a tradition -- a
:19:12. > :19:18.transition in six months and we are nine months into a. They are
:19:18. > :19:21.comfortable holding power in Egypt. That is the reason all of this
:19:21. > :19:26.happened in the first place, the unwillingness for the military to
:19:26. > :19:30.give power to a 7th -- civilian elected leadership. How will they
:19:31. > :19:36.persuade people to get involved in this National Salvation government?
:19:36. > :19:40.Will there be the appetite to join that, or will they be seen as
:19:40. > :19:43.stooges of the military, whoever puts their name for? That is the
:19:43. > :19:47.big risk for any political party thinking about Cabinet ministers
:19:47. > :19:53.now. If they go away and that government is not popular and there
:19:53. > :19:57.are more protests here and elsewhere, that is exactly what
:19:57. > :20:03.people are going to be saying, that these are sell-outs and stooges.
:20:03. > :20:06.Any political party that is considering that and balancing the
:20:06. > :20:11.costs and benefits will have to think long and hard about whether
:20:11. > :20:16.this is worth it. Do we want to wait until things stabilise?
:20:16. > :20:20.Briefly, how have the last few months changed that inherent
:20:20. > :20:26.respect Egyptians traditionally have had for the Army in the past
:20:26. > :20:30.50 years? A couple of months ago, there was an opinion poll which
:20:30. > :20:34.suggested that the military had anywhere between 80 % and 90 %
:20:34. > :20:38.approval ratings. Recently, that confidence has dipped and people
:20:38. > :20:41.are starting to wonder, is the military good at managing the
:20:42. > :20:46.country? I still think there is a general respect, and we have to
:20:46. > :20:50.distinguish between the military as an institution and the ruling
:20:51. > :20:55.military council which is made up of around 25 senior members of the
:20:55. > :21:02.military. But I think you are right to point out that there will still
:21:02. > :21:10.be that respect to the institution, not necessarily to the people

:23:17. > :23:25.other sources of funds, and one is illegal mining, especially gold. We
:23:25. > :23:29.are fighting that because as the drug trafficking has tremendous

:23:33. > :23:37.There has been traditional mining here for centuries. The high price

:25:04. > :25:11.cave paintings by early man. -- Sex Pistols singer. They were
:25:11. > :25:16.the ultimate bad boy band. Controversial yet compelling. The
:25:16. > :25:21.media loved to know them but they could not care less. -- loved to
:25:21. > :25:25.load them. About most things. But Johnny Rotten was a bit upset
:25:25. > :25:32.one day when he came back to the flat he then shared in central
:25:32. > :25:37.London. He walked up these stairs and found that the others had given
:25:37. > :25:42.the place a makeover. It wasn't quite to his taste so we got out a
:25:42. > :25:48.marker pen and added his own finishing touches.
:25:48. > :25:53.He drew a comic character -- comic caricature of up Sid vicious and of
:25:53. > :25:57.his girlfriend, and off Malcolm McLaren, the ban's charismatic
:25:57. > :26:01.manager. They are not unlike the Do loo -- doodles of a bored teenager,
:26:01. > :26:05.but according to some archaeologists, they are of great
:26:05. > :26:11.cultural importance. We know how significant punk was to that
:26:11. > :26:13.generation in the 1970s. These paintings are relevant and
:26:13. > :26:18.significant for their generation, and for that particular period of
:26:18. > :26:23.history. That is the academic's point of view, but what about the
:26:23. > :26:29.quality of the drawings? There are a lot of rock musicians that have
:26:29. > :26:34.produced a lot of terrible art. The funny thing is that unwittingly,
:26:34. > :26:38.Johnny Rotten has produced good caricature us. The story emerged
:26:38. > :26:43.without his influence. Whatever the future holds for this collection of
:26:43. > :26:46.drawings, there is little doubt that the time the Sex Pistols spent
:26:46. > :26:54.in this flat will be studied by academics and enthusiasts for many
:26:54. > :27:04.years to come. That is all from the programme.

:27:15. > :27:19.Next, the weather. But for now, It did stay cloudy and BME across
:27:19. > :27:22.the south-east corner, but for many we have sunshine around. The cloud
:27:22. > :27:26.will break up across England and Wales tonight and gave a frosty
:27:26. > :27:30.start tomorrow. That is something we have not seemed very much of
:27:30. > :27:33.this autumn. There is a weather front moving in across parts of
:27:33. > :27:38.Scotland so a different story here. Staying frost-free and it will be
:27:38. > :27:42.cloudy and wet in the morning. You can see sunshine in parts of
:27:42. > :27:48.England. There will be more cloud for the afternoon across northern
:27:48. > :27:52.areas. Temperatures recovering to double figures after a load start.
:27:52. > :27:57.Across the south-east corner, we have got some fine sunshine. A real
:27:57. > :28:00.change compared to the cloud of today. Sunny spells across the
:28:00. > :28:03.south-west and temperatures reaching 12 degrees. It will cloud
:28:04. > :28:09.over across Wales for the afternoon, but some brightness holding on
:28:09. > :28:12.towards the border and across parts of North Wales, we might see the
:28:12. > :28:17.odd shower at the end of the afternoon. For Northern Ireland, it
:28:17. > :28:21.will be cloudy and wet with a bit of a breeze. The rain is sinking
:28:21. > :28:25.further south so the afternoon across the north-west Highlands
:28:25. > :28:29.should be drier and brighter, but here we will see some showers.
