me, Katya Adler. Our top story: Bloodshed on the streets of Egypt.

Security forces move into clear protest camps set up by the ousted

president, Mohammed Morsi. The Health Ministry says 150 people have

died. The Muslim Brotherhood say more than 2000. A state of emergency

has been declared and a curfew is now in force. Morsi supporters

staged demonstrations across Egypt. The interim vice president has

resigned. The US has condemned the use of violence against protestors.

Violence will only make it more difficult to move Egypt forward on a

path to lasting stability and democracy, and runs counter to the

pledges by the interim government to pursue reconciliation. Has the

struggling eurozone finally turned the corner? It returns to modest

growth. He is pretty loud and, of course, extremely good-looking.

William's first public comments about being a father three weeks

Hello and welcome. The crackdown in Cairo had been long awaited - and

when it came at dawn this morning, it was with overwhelming force.

Heavily armed security forces moved in to clear two camps occupied by

supporters of the ousted president, Mohammed Morsi. Casualty figures are

difficult to verify - the Health Ministry says 149 people have been

killed, the Muslim Brotherhood 2,200. Egypt's vice president, Nobel

laureate Mohammed el Baradei, has resigned over the violence. A state

of emergency has been declared for a month. Our correspondent James

Reynolds reports from Cairo. Two hours after first light, without

warning, they moved in. We filmed a military bulldozer ducking down the

barricades around the mosque. Protestors fought back. This is what

a last stand looks like. On this corner, demonstrators burned tyres

and took on the police. Here, an older man joins in. This officer

fired his shot gun towards demonstrators as they ran away. The

raid has been going on for about two hours. The police control this road.

We are about 100 metres from the masking Kampmann. We have been

hearing live fire and feeling the sting of tear gas as well. From a

balcony, some cheered the offensive. In this neighbourhood, the security

forces have plenty of support. The front line, the mosque, is just a

few blocks away. Here, and injured officer retreat from the fight. --

and injured officer. This is the area of the security forces are

trying to clear. The masking Kampmann has become a battle ground.

-- the masking Kampmann. TRANSLATION: A man was standing next

to me. In a second he was shot and died. What have we done? Government

TV has broadcast these pictures said to show Morsi supporters firing on

the police from the encampment. But this is what the probe or see

movement once the world to see. -- what the pro-Morsi movement.

Supporters took these pictures inside the hospital. Many are too

graphic to show. A BBC Arabic correspondent counted 50 bodies in

one word. Protestors called the raid a massacre.

TRANSLATION: This massacring is a war of annihilation. The military

coup has failed. He will be tried before a military court. He is

attempting to drag the Egyptian people into a civil war.

Mick Dean, British cameraman, was among those killed. He was 61 years

old and married with two sons. The security forces, here disbursing a

second encampment on the other side of Cairo, have been commended for

their restraint. -- disbursing. A piece of praise the opposition will

struggle to comprehend. What must be deposed and imprisoned president,

Mohammed Morsi, make of what has happened? His supporters once made

up half of the country. They are now out of power and they are losing

their final pieces of territory. The Muslim Brotherhood has had a

long and politically inflamed history within the Middle East. What

seemed like a rise to power after years of oppression in Egypt, has

turned into disaster for the group. The BBC's Security and Defence

Correspondent, Frank Gardener, took a look at the power behind the

Muslim Brotherhood. Today's deadly clashes between

Muslim Brotherhood protestors and the police may just be a foretaste

of worse to come. The Muslim Brotherhood is a huge grassroots

political and social movement dating back 85 years, and it is dedicated

to establishing an Islamic state. They have been good at handing out a

charity. But their year in office was a disaster for the economy. Now

the deposed president has vanished from view, detained by the

military. The other leaders are either under arrest or on the run,

their assets seized. The backlash has begun. Some of their supporters

have been attacking Christian churches, police stations and

symbols of government. The movement's leaders insist their

protests are peaceful. The Muslim Brotherhood has faced atrocities of

dictatorships for decades and we have stood peacefully against them.

The implication is that it is not about the Muslim Brotherhood, it is

about the Arab spring. If it does not succeed in Egypt, it will not

succeed anywhere else. Egypt is central, Egypt is important and it

has to succeed. The Muslim Brotherhood's influence extends

beyond Egypt. Its closest political allies are probably how mass in

Gaza. -- how mass. In Jordan, the anti-Western Muslim Brotherhood

forms a powerful bloc. They have been present for years underground

in Syria. They are banned there. Thousands were massacred by the

previous president. In Turkey, the Government is an Islamist one

influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood. In the Gulf, Qatar is

their only real backer. These latest clashes are potentially very

stabilising for the Middle East. A lot of people in the region either

love the Muslim Brotherhood or they detested. What it is simply too big

to be ignored. So ultimately, compromise will have to be found if

further bloodshed is to be avoided. With me as Baroness Faulkner, who

was in Cairo last week. She speaks for the Liberal Democrats on foreign

affairs in the House of Lords. Welcome. You were in Cairo exactly a

week ago, inside the camps that were cleared so forcefully today. How did

you feel as you saw the scene unfold? The sense of grievance

within the camp was running very high. There were a lot of people,

men, women and children. We were told there were tens of thousands.

It is a large area. Very high barricades. Just one or two exits.

It was highly congested. Highly volatile. And very worrying. There

has been, I mean, the emptying of the camps has been long expected. It

had been predicted and almost promised. Why were there still so

many women and children are? Did you manage to talk to some of the

protestors? Were there worried about their families? I raised that with

them. We were there to urge them to disband peacefully. To urge the

protestors to disband peacefully. The Government had spoken about

needing to clear central Cairo. They were unprepared to disband. They

feel a deep sense of grievance. They feel they have been robbed of an

outcome and democratic terms. When I raised the issue of perhaps

evacuating the women and children, at least exhorting the women and

children to leave, there was a deep reluctance. On the one hand, they

did not want the women and children to leave because they said they had

lost brothers and sons, and these women want to avenge, you know,

their loved ones, who had died in previous shootings. On the other

hand, they also wanted the women and children to stay there because they

were scared that the security forces would come to them. And yet also

coming out of these camps there have been statements like, victory or

martyrdom. People were very prepared for this kind of violence. It is a

winner takes all mentality in Egypt. What role can the

international community now play? Could there be some hope that each

side is showing a strong hand and there may now be an opportunity for

compromise? Voices on the ground seem more doom laden. Of course,

Egypt's destiny lies in the hands of the people. I think you are quite

right. If there was ever a time to forget about saving face on both

sides, and to actually sit down around the table, it is now. A few

tangible things need to happen. The state of emergency must be lifted as

soon as possible. As soon as any kind of order is restored, the state

of emergency has to be lifted. The Government has to give a guarantee

that it will not harm the Muslim Brotherhood or the supporters while

talks are consuming. And they have got to sit down without conditions.

The Muslim Brotherhood has to agree now to sit down without President

Morsi needing to come back into the presidential palace. And the army,

clearly, now in control, the facade of the interim government appears to

be shattering with the resignation of Mohamed ElBaradei. It is clear

the army are in control. They are part of Egypt. They come from within

Egypt. They have families on either side of the divide. They have got to

show more statesmanship rather than brute force.

Thank you very much indeed. Let's go live now to Washington and join our

State Department correspondent. We have had very strong words coming

from the United States. Can we expect deeds to follow words on

behalf of the international community? It is still unclear what

the United States is going to do following the violence on

Washington. As our viewers know, over the last few weeks the US has

really struggled to formulate a policy when it comes to Egypt. It

was, of course, not in favour of removal of President Morsi and the

way it happened, but it did not want to call it a cool. It wanted to

maintain lines of communication with the interim rulers, but by not

calling it a clue, it did upset the Muslim Brotherhood. In the end

Washington decided not to call it anything. That may be a position

that is untenable at the moment because of what we are seeing unfold

in Cairo. We have had strong words of condemnation of the violence by

the White House. It was a deputy spokesperson. President Obama is on

holiday at the moment in the US. There is a sense also that I am

picking up on, that it is important for somebody more senior to step

forward. It is possible we may hear from the American Secretary of

State, John Kerry, later today. At the moment, all we're getting from

Washington our words. When it comes to action, the first thing that

comes to mind is, will the United States call it a coup? Will the

United States cut of military aid or other kind of aid? Is important to

remember that in the short term it is a symbolic gesture because the

impact is not immediate. The M -- the aid continues flowing for some

time. Thank you for joining us from Washington.

We leave events in Egypt for now. We will return -- we turn to Europe.

The economic malaise that has gripped the continent since 2011,

seems to be over. Or is it? 17 countries that make up the eurozone

grew by not .3%. A stronger figure than economists were expecting.

Matthew Price sent this report. This is a recovery very much made in

Germany. Made in the high-tech laboratories where they design

Internet hardware. This man has watched his business boom by a

quarter in the last year. This year again we're running a double digit

coalface. No recession whatsoever. German consumers are spending,

helping to lead the eurozone out of recession. Manufacturing is strong.

The result, they say, of government policies are decade ago that created

a more flexible economy. Without German growth, the eurozone would

still be in decline. But one country does not make a recovery. Three

miles away is the Dutch border. The figures show they are still in

recession. Nobody believes that today marks the end of the European

economic problems. Still, in France, the eurozone's second

largest economy, there was an unexpected jump in growth. Created,

in part, by higher household and government spending. The job centres

are still dealing with new record unemployment. But today's figures

are welcome. People right now want to invest. The crisis is not over.

But in Brussels, they caution that the big problem, massive eurozone

government debt, remains. Unequivocally it is good news for

the eurozone that there is growth again. But we shall not forget there

is still a crisis. No time for complacency. Positive growth is

good. It will help tackle the crisis but there still is a crisis. They

say that things in Europe are improving on television, but here in

Spain I do not see anything getting better. That is how economic

recoveries work. He will not feel it yet, but Spain's recession appears

to be teetering out, so too in other parts of the cash-starved south.

This may be a slow recovery, but any recovery of this large trading bloc

is better news for Britain and the rest of the world.

For more on the Eurozone I am joined by my colleague who is here with us

in the studio. When you travel around Europe, you do not feel a

sense of easing in the Mediterranean countries. It is very gloomy, no one

expects that things are going well in the Mediterranean.

Netherlands is a special case because it has the property collapse

going on. You are correct, a growth rate of 0.3% is no growth at all.

Obviously, it is driven largely by France and Germany from the figures.

It is possible that these figures, although they will not be strong

enough to do create jobs, they will afford confidence in businesses.

They will look at the figures and say this is good and has been going

on for a year and a half. Finally, it is possible to allow ourselves

the confidence, not because of a dramatic difference, but we are

seeing the recovery in the United States for example. It is clear that

the bottom has been reached for the Eurozone, perhaps not yet for Greece

but for other countries. And in France? Yes, we need is a much about

political problems there and disenchantment with those in power

there. I do think there is more to come and people would like to see

that in France before there is more confidence.

Thank you very much indeed. It seems unlikely there are survivors after

two explosions on board an Indian submarine. The blast happened while

the ship was stopped in Mumbai. It is not yet clear what caused the

blast. A deadly fire on an Indian naval submarine caused by two major

explosions which occurred close to midnight. 18 sailors were on board

the vessel that was stopped off the coast. Firefighters rushed to the

sport and were able to does the flames in two hours. Residents

recall hearing a large sound. were standing here just about to go

to work and suddenly there was a rocket like sound, like a jet engine

and then there was a blast. submarine has almost entirely sunk,

just a small portion of the bill above the water. There is still no

contact with those who were on board. Of the three officers, two

were married. Of the 15, six sailors are married. We hope for the best,

but at the same time we have to prepare for the worst. The

compartments may have been flooded for more than 12 hours. Divers are

searching for survivors and are also trying to salvage the submarine.

Naval authorities have turned the explosion and accident, but they

have set up our board of enquiry to investigate what happened. It is a

setback for the Indian Navy because the submarine had only just got back

into operation earlier this year after being fitted with modern

equipment in Russia in a process which took over two years.

Scientists are reporting a milestone for cancer is the. They have

identified 21 of the genetic mutations that can turn healthy

tissue into tumours. There are more than 200 types of cancer and it is

hoped that by understanding the genetic signatures left behind by

cancer-causing agents, better treatments can be developed.

The strange sight of cancer). This pic shows cancer cells in a kidney,

this one in an overlay. Investigating how cancer starts this

crucial. The most important through may be genetic. The steady rhythm of

machines analysing DNA at the Institute near Cambridge. This is

part of an international effort to understand what happens to our DNA

and affect their chances of suffering cancer. Each of ourselves

has a strand of DNA. It is made up of peers of pieces, put together in

a specific order. Sometimes these can be damaged and these can meet to

cancer. We know smoking can do that. In lung cancer the genetic pattern

is altered in a particular way. It is a signature of the mutation

caused by tobacco. A different signature is left behind by the

ultraviolet light which can meet to skin cancer. The scientists have now

found many other signatures of this kind which can all cause different

types of cancers for reasons which are not known but can now be

investigated. This is the largest study of its kind. We are very

excited that through our findings we have opened a door and encountered

many different parts that can lead to cancer formations. An animation

of the moment a cancer cell divides. This research will not lead to new

treatments. For this professor, a surgeon specialising in cancer, he

says it creates new options for the future, especially for early

warning. The indication for patients is that now we can think about not

just treatment, we can think about early detection and prevention. Can

start to understand what is causing those cancer specifically. -- we can

start. The study has achieved something unimaginable only a few

years ago, analysing 5 million genetic changes in cancer cells. The

fight against cancer is slow and frustrating, but understanding how

it starts should make a difference in the long run.

We turn now to our top story. We go to Washington where the US Secretary

of State is now speaking. Deputy secretary of state burns, together

with our EU colleagues provided constructive ideas and left them on

the table during talks in Cairo last week. From my many phone calls with

many Egyptians, I believe they know full well what constructive process

would look like. The interim government and military which

together possess the preponderance of power in this confrontation have

a unique responsibility to prevent further violence and offer

constructive options for a conclusive and peaceful process

across the entire political spectrum. This includes amending the

constitution, holding parliamentary and presidential elections which the

interim government itself has called for. All of the other parties, all

the opposition and civil society, all parties also share a

responsibility to avoid violence and protest appeared in a productive

path towards a political solution. There will not be a solution through

further polarisation. There can only be a political solution by bringing

people together for a political solution. This is a pivotal moment

for all Egyptians. The path towards violence leads only to greater

instability, economic disaster and suffering. The only sustainable path

for either side is one towards a political solution. I am convinced

from my conversations today with a number of foreign ministers, I am

convinced that that path is in fact still open. It is possible although

it has been made much harder and more contributed by the events of

today. The promise of the 2011 revolution has never been fully

realised. The final outcome of that revolution is not yet decided. It

will be shaped in the hours ahead and the days ahead. It will be

shaped by the decisions which all of Egypt's political leaders meet now

and in these days ahead. The world is closely watching Egypt and is

deeply concerned about the events we have witnessed today. The United

States remains at the ready to work with all of the parties and with our

partners and with others around the world in order to help achieve

peaceful, democratic ways forward. I will be happy to answer questions.

That was the US secretary of state speaking about the current turmoil

in Egypt. We are leaving now. Thank you for joining us, from me and the

rest of the team goodbye. rest of the team goodbye.

Good evening. Some others yesterday got another chance to catch those

shooting stars. It will be very different tonight with wet weather

on the way. It will be a warm night with temperatures up to 17 degrees

in some spots. This is where the clothes are streaming from, from the

Atlantic. -- the clouds. This is where the heaviest of the rain will

fall in Northern Ireland, Cumbria and southern Scotland. There will be

some sunshine, especially to the east of the Pennines. The warmest

and most humid weather will be across the south-east tomorrow.

Temperatures could up # temperatures could get up to 21 degrees, it will

feel sticky and very warm. But the South West and Wales, it will be

cloudy with some rain. It will also feel sticky but it will not have the

sunshine. For Northern Ireland, the worst of the rain will have cleared

away but there is the chance of a shower or two and the same goes for
