This is BBC World News Today with me Philippa Thomas. | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
In an unprecedented move, French police detain former President | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
Nicolas Sarkozy over claims he sought inside information. | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
The latest developments are seen as a blow to his attempts to challenge | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
for the presidency in 2017. The three Israeli teenagers who were | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
kidnapped then murdered have been buried. Israel blames Hamas for the | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
deaths. In a separate development in the | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
region, Israel has also launched air strikes in the Gaza Strip. It says | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
in retaliation to rocket attacks. Also coming up, a familiar face for | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
the Turkish presidency? Yes, this is Prime Minister Erdogan looking to | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
move up. And it is day 20 of the World Cup. I | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
will be reporting from Rio, we're currently in Argentina is being held | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
by Switzerland. It is 0-0 in extra time. | :01:04. | :01:13. | |
Hello and welcome. France's former president, Nicolas Sarkozy, has been | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
detained by police over alleged influence peddling. Mr Sarkozy is | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
being questioned about whether he sought inside information from a | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
judge about an investigation into campaign funding. This is thought to | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
be the first time a French former head of state has been held in | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
police custody. And it's the latest in a series of upheavals for | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
politicians on all sides, not just Sarkozy's centre right UMP. | :01:42. | :01:42. | |
President Francois Hollande's Socialists received just 14% of the | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
vote in the recent European elections. Their worst national | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
result ever. And in that same contest, it was Marine Le Pen's hard | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
right Front National who made spectacular gains, leading the polls | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
with 25% of the French vote. From Paris, our correspondent Hugh | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Schofield reports on a difficult day for Mr Sarkozy, a man who had been | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
hoping to make a comeback in a very fractured political landscape. | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
For two years, Nicolas Sarkozy has been the focus of judicial enquiry | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
into how he raised money for his presidential election campaigns. | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
This is a new step. Now he has been formally taken into custody. Held | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
for questioning by magistrates who think he tried to use friends in | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
high places to ward off the threat from the law. One thing | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
investigators are trying to do here is build up a case against Mr | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
Sarkozy that could stand up in court. They believe there is | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
evidence that the former president had, as it were, a place man in the | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
highest court in the land. A judge who was feeding him information | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
about the various investigations that were underway. Needless to say, | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
Mr Sarkozy and his supporters deny the allegations vehemently. | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
For the Sarkozy camp, there is no doubt. These allegations have been | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
trumped up by the political left with one aim. To stop the former | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
president coming back. Why, they ask, were Mr Sarkozy's phones | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
tapped? His private conversations with his lawyer listened into by the | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
judges? Supporters say it is all troublingly suspicious. | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
TRANSLATION: It is disturbing the government went to such lengths to | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
monitor Mr Sarkozy's phone calls. And just as he announces his | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
comeback, yet another affair emerges against him. Ever since he left the | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
Elysee in 2012, Nicolas Sarkozy has been dreaming of coming back. Today, | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
France is in a parlous state. The ruling Socialists deeply unpopular. | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
His own UMP party crying out for a leader. But these scandals are going | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
to dog him. He will need to fight every step of the way. | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
Well, French political commentator Anne-Elisabeth Moutet joins me from | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
Paris. Welcome to the programme again. How serious is this for Mr | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
Sarkozy? I don't know how serious it is, because first of all, it | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
possibly can be ruled inadmissible, because it was the so-called | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
evidence was only obtained by wiretapping of his telephone and his | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
lawyers' telephone, they allege he was trying to influence a judge and | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
offered to help them get a job in the civil service. The judge in | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
question did not even get the job, and it is only hearsay of hearsay. | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
And there is nothing that is any kind of proof that he influenced the | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
judge in any way, the judge himself not on his own case, I think it is | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
more dramatic steps by the current government to sort of draw the | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
attention to Mr Sarkozy and it makes many people on the French right, and | :05:06. | :05:14. | |
they cannot run if he can. Do you think the supporters of Nicolas | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
Sarkozy say there is a political vendetta against him, do you think | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
they are right? There seems to be another case when he is ahead in the | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
polls, it does not make headlines when cases are dismissed, one was | :05:30. | :05:39. | |
about bribery and was dismissed, another about him organising an arms | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
deal in back a stand with bribes when he was budget minister and that | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
was dismissed, there have been more cases dismissed, and in general, the | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
evidence is obtained by tainted means. This is a first world | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
country, you do not troll wiretaps for eight months looking for | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
something that might give you a case, you are supposed to get and | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
indicate -- an investigation for something legitimate. These wiretaps | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
were for something different. Something else that may have got | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
reaction is the European Court of Human Rights voting to uphold the | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
French ban on the Muslim veil? What reaction has there been? On the | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
whole, this is something the left and right agree with, and we have | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
seen lots of young people in France going to join the jihad in Syria, | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
and there is a worry of the kind of tiny ghettos, which sometimes bring | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
in converts and live outside the country, but also because France | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
believes in the neutrality of the public space since the French | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
revolution, you do not introduce religion into the public space, but | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
practice it in private. Thank you for speaking to us. | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
The funeral has been held for three Israeli teenagers abducted and | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
murdered while hitch-hiking in the occupied West Bank. Israel has | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
blamed the Palestinian militant group Hamas, with Prime Minister | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
Benjamin Netanyahu vowing that the group will pay for the killings. | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
Hamas has denied any involvement. In a separate development, Israel | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
launched more than 30 air strikes into the Gaza Strip overnight in | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
response to rockets being fired into Israel. | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
Preparations for a funeral that is really sort they would not see. As | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
news spread that the three missing teenagers had been found dead, the | :07:44. | :07:54. | |
morning began. Israel has vowed refuges and for the killing of | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
Naftali Frenkel, Gilad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach. These candles were | :07:58. | :08:07. | |
laid out and spell out the names of the dead Israelis. And we are close | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
to the popular hitchhiking spot where they were last seen alive, but | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
driving in this direction for ten minutes, you reach a field by the | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
Palestinian village outside Hebron where the grim discovery of their | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
bodies was made. Over two weeks, the Israeli army searched for the | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
teenagers and Palestinian anger grew. Six Palestinians were killed | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
in clashes, Hamas already Israel's sworn enemy has been its main | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
target. TRANSLATION: The Israeli occupation is trying to utilise this | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
story to justify aggression against Palestinian people and its | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
resistance. We stress the threat does not scare Hamas nor its | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
leadership or the Palestinian people. But political pressure is | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
being heaped on the Palestinian secular president. He is being told | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
to choose between peace with Israel and his unity deal with Hamas. For | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
three Israeli families, this has been a deep tragedy, but with other | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
Israeli actions expected, it is also likely to have dramatic implications | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
for politics and the peace process. Now a look at some of the day's | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
other news. At least 18 people have been killed | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
in an explosion at a market in Maiduguri in north-eastern Nigeria. | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
The explosives were reportedly hidden in a vehicle carrying | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
charcoal. No group has said it carried out the attack, but | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
Maiduguri is the epicentre of the violent campaign waged by militant | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
group Boko Haram. Hundreds of thousands of | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
demonstrators have marched through the streets of Hong Kong in one of | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
the biggest protests since the former British colony was handed | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
back to China 17 years ago. They demanded democratic reforms and a | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
greater say in electing the next chief executive. | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
One of the favourites to win the women's singles title at the | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
Wimbledon tennis championships, Maria Sharapova of Russia, is out of | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
this year's tournament. In a thrilling finish to the match, she | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
was beaten by the number nine seed Angelique Kerber of Germany 7-6, | :10:18. | :10:18. | |
4-6, 4-6. Angelique Kerber of Germany 7-6, | :10:19. | :10:30. | |
4-6, -- 6-4. The Russian President Vladimir Putin | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
says Russia, along with what he called its European partners, failed | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
to persuade the Ukrainian president to extend a cease-fire. The | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
Ukrainian authorities have launched a full scale military operation in | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
the east of the country. Mr Putin has said Moscow will continue to | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
defend the interests of ethnic Russians abroad and that President | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
Poroshenko now bears full responsibility for the assault | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
against the rebels. And he says Moscow will continue to defend the | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
interests of ethnic Russians abroad. Since the end of the cease-fire | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
earlier today, four people have been killed and five wounded when a | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
civilian bus came under fire in Kramatorsk in Eastern Ukraine. The | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
BBC's Oleg Boldyrev sent this report from there. | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
This hole in the wall is one of the first results of the resumed | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
shelling by the Ukrainian army in eastern Ukrainian town of | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
Kramatorsk. The first shelling started yesterday night, on Monday | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
night. The residents told me they had heard the sound of shelling. | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
They had the time to go into the basement. There were three or four | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
waves of shelling. As you could see, the walls are pockmarked, windows | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
blown out. Some of the balconies are missing. Here, it seems, there were | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
no casualties. But this was not the only shooting. Then, on Tuesday | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
morning, some of the shells landed just outside of me. And I was told | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
that some people in the passenger bus were killed. | :11:40. | :11:49. | |
The world's biggest cycling circus gets underway here in Britain on | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
Saturday. The Tour de France will spend two days in the north, in | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
Yorkshire, before ending the third stage of the race in London. The | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
riders will be competing on roads increasingly used by home-grown | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
cyclists, in a sport that's gaining popularity. But according to a BBC | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
poll, half of all British adults feel their local roads are too | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
dangerous to cycle on. Jo Black reports from Cambridge. | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
Britain's roads can be a dangerous place for cyclists. An accident is | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
about to happen, but it is still a shock. The cyclist was all right. | :12:23. | :12:31. | |
The rider has an incredibly lucky escapes here. Wow! Every year, | :12:32. | :12:43. | |
around 19,000 like lists are killed or injured on Britain's roads and it | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
is not just the daily clash between drivers and cyclists that is to | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
blame. The roads are battle scarred and riddled with potholes. And Paul | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
commissioned by the BBC has found more than 50% of the dish adults are | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
too frightened to cycle on local roads because they believe they are | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
too dangerous. The Tour de France starts in Leeds this weekend and | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
will roll through Cambridge right along this route. This BBC survey | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
suggests that 20% of us feel inspired to take up cycling because | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
of the race being here, but is getting on a bike too dangerous? | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
People need to take responsibility for what they do on their bike. Not | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
enough understanding between cyclist and cards. But in Cambridge, with | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
the cycle paths, it makes it easier. This weekend, the professionals will | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
show off their cycling progress, but when they are gone, the rest of us | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
will have to have our wits about us when we get back in the saddle. | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
Some breaking news from Wimbledon. The number one man's seed, Rafael | :13:57. | :14:05. | |
Nadal, has been beaten by 19-year-old from Australia, the | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
first time since 1992 the world number one has been beaten by | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
someone outside the top. This just after telling you that Maria | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
Sharapova is also out. The leader of the Islamist militant | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
group that's seized control of parts of Iraq and northern Syria has | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
called on Muslims everywhere to travel to the area and help build an | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
Islamic state. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the head of ISIS, also called on his | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
fighters to avenge wrongs committed against Muslims worldwide. | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
Meanwhile, the UN has said nearly 2500 Iraqis died in June, making it | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
the country's most deadly month in seven years. And in the capital, | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
Iraqi politicians failed to elect a speaker as the parliament's first | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
meeting since elections in April ended in deadlock. Paul Adams | :14:54. | :15:03. | |
reports from Baghdad. In the Syrian city, a stronghold of | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
the SUNY militants of ISIS, another impressive display of captured | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
hardware. Russian tanks here, possibly Syrian, but also plenty of | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
American-made vehicles and guns seized in Iraq. Some of this | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
equipment has been seen before on the streets of morsel after the | :15:23. | :15:32. | |
Iraqi's army fleeing. There is a measure of growing confidence. There | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
is even an apparent SCUD missile. No one knows if it works, but it seems | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
to please the onlookers. And courtesy of social media, there is | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
no statement from the elusive leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. He | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
urges Muslims to come and join the new Islamic state, Syria not for | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
Assyrians, Iraq not what Iraqi is, the land for all Muslims, also | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
issuing a call for judges, doctors and engineers, even those with | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
management skills. Enough you might think to concentrate minds back in | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
the Iraqi capital Baghdad, but the session of Parliament today, the | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
first since April elections, was over before it began. The knives are | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
out for the Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki, but he is clinging on | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
with no obvious successor. As the searing summer heat faded, I find | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
some former soldiers, including a general in Sadam Hussein's army, | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
pondering the future and parliament's failure. TRANSLATION: | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
In the middle of this crisis in Iraq, they should not be fighting | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
amongst themselves, but coming together to find a solution. They | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
all say they are ready to fight, but looking for leadership and right | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
now, in Iraq, that is in short supply. | :16:59. | :17:10. | |
Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has declared | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
his candidacy for the presidential election in August. | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
He's tipped to win the poll despite a turbulent year that saw | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
unprecedented protests against his rule. | :17:18. | :17:18. | |
The election will be the first time Turks will choose | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
from Regent's University London. analyst Elif Toker-Turnalar | :17:21. | :17:37. | |
A will he want more powers to go with the role of president, do? He | :17:38. | :17:48. | |
does see himself as quite invincible. 12 years of winning | :17:49. | :17:59. | |
general elections, local elections. The government has done extremely | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
well when you look at how they have come from where they are to today. | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
And Recep Tayyip Erdogan was put forward the idea that this was a | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
train and we will get off on the stock when we need to. And it seems | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
that he has got to the stop which does not look very promising for the | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
Turkish Republic. There are reasons to believe that there are some | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
changes in their process. You made the point he keeps winning | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
elections. Despite the spark protests and leaks that appear to | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
damages government, he has got a lot of banking, especially from rural | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
Turkey. What will he uses extra powers as president to do, if he | :18:48. | :18:55. | |
gets them? He is interested in internal politics. It is not about | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
what is going on outside. He has clearly shown that, too. He believes | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
this is the right thing to be doing. For the first time, they see him as | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
the leader that this thinking of them rather than showing Turkey as | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
being something else to the outside world. This internal political | :19:14. | :19:23. | |
turmoil of the last year, with the protests in the park, the | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
allegations of close connections has in government, including government | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
ministers and their family, have not had that much of an impact on the | :19:33. | :19:42. | |
local elections that he had just recently. Looking at what happened | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
in the local elections, when I talk to Turks, look at what is going on | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
on the ground, they say that local is quite different to the | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
presidential elections and there needs to be a check and balance, so | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
we could be surprised by what the Turkish electorate actually does try | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
to do. The other key development is the Turkish hostages being held as | :20:08. | :20:18. | |
the ISIS militants have swept across Iraq. Any developments on that? | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
People are still waiting to hear, but Turkey has not really trying to | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
do anything on the international stage about this. It has been quite | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
close doors when it comes to talking to the press in Turkey. But we are | :20:35. | :20:43. | |
told that any day now we might hear some good news, which is concerning, | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
why this is not being talked about in the press in Turkey. Thank you | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
very much for coming in. To Brazil now and just eight games | :20:56. | :21:03. | |
remain to decide the destination Ben Brown joins us from Rio de | :21:04. | :21:17. | |
Janeiro. It is very tense. It looks like going to penalties. Argentina | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
being held by Switzerland. As the game goes on longer and longer, both | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
sides getting exhausted and fatigue setting in. The game is getting more | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
stretched. Argentina, even with Lionel Messi, cannot find their way | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
through the Swiss defence. They are watching it down on Copacabana | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
beach, mostly Argentina fans. Some wonderful scenes as usual as they | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
watch the big screen with the sun beating down and the waves lapping. | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
Our correspondence is down there with some of the fans. This is an | :21:53. | :22:03. | |
area for people relaxing on the beach, sitting and watching the | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
match. We have seen lots of people getting up and going for a bit in | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
the ocean after the second half. It is a bit of a luxury watching full | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
all down here. -- football. They have claimed the territorial, | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
putting up posters of Argentina right next to the fan Festival. I | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
have not managed to tear any of the fans away from the screen, they are | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
all concentrating on watching the final moments of the match against | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
Switzerland. The expected this match to be easier. It is very gripping. | :22:42. | :22:50. | |
It is still 0-0. They are looking at another penalty shoot out happening | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
in the next few minutes. It would be one of the great World Cup upsets if | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
Switzerland where to beat Argentina today. The winners of this match | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
will play in the quarterfinals the winners of the next match, which is | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
the USA, going so well in this tournament, against dodgem. Packed | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
with stars from the English Premier League. -- against Belgium. I have | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
been talking to Alexey Lal as, who was a star for the US in the 1994 | :23:21. | :23:29. | |
and 1998 World Cup. The US are looking at the scheme as a game that | :23:30. | :23:37. | |
they can win. They are using this incredible support from home that | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
has amassed over the tournament. Sometimes you're insulated as a | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
player, but they are feeling it that people back home are watching, | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
people care, there was incredible passion, and this soccer army that | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
has been for so long underground has, above ground and it is | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
incredibly supportive. Interesting to see the TV audiences in the USA | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
for these World Cup games. They are through the roof. Millions watching | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
it now. The game there is beginning to take off. It is still 0-0 Queen | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
Argentina and Switzerland and looks like going to penalties. The fans | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
down there could not tear themselves away to talk to us. They are so | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
intent on watching a thrilling game. Ben Brown, leaving us on | :24:27. | :24:27. | |
tenterhooks. Thank you very much. What would you you pay | :24:28. | :24:36. | |
for a bed that looks like this? It's full of stains, | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
laden with cigarette packets? Well it's been bet that someone will | :24:40. | :24:56. | |
pay ?1 million for Tracy Emin's artwork | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
at auction today here in London. Simply called 'My Bed' | :25:00. | :25:01. | |
the work was created by Emin, now one of the world's best known | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
modern artists, in a council flat It's an example of the sometimes | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
baffling high price of modern art. On the surface it's simply | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
a shark set in formaldehyde. And even replicas of | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
Marcel Duchamp's famous Fountain - a urinal laid on its back | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
and signed - have been known to sell | :25:23. | :25:24. | |
for more than ?1 million. So perhaps this price wasn't so | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
surprising, even for an unmade bed. We will have to watch for that. A | :25:31. | :25:39. | |
reminder of the main news now. Thousands of Israelis have taken | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
part in ceremonies for three teenagers whose bodies were | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
discovered in the occupied West Bank on Monday. They were buried | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
side-by-side at a ceremony attended by the prime minister, Benjamin | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
Netanyahu. Reprisals have been promised against how mass, but how | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
must the miserly involvement in the killings. And the number one men's | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
seed at Wimbledon Rafael Nadal has been beaten in the fourth round by a | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
19-year-old is brilliant. This is the first time since 1992 that the | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
world number one at Wimbledon has been beaten by someone outside the | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
top 100. This, on the day that Maria Sharapova went out of Wimbledon. It | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
has been a day of sporting upsets. You can talk about this on Twitter. | :26:29. | :26:38. | |
That is all from the team. Thank you for watching. Goodbye. | :26:39. | :26:50. | |
Even warmer weather for some of us as the week goes on. For others, | :26:51. | :27:05. | |
prepare for rain. The bulk of the UK will stay dry with sunshine with | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
temperatures rising a few degrees. In the North of Scotland we get | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
closer to these weather fronts which will have some rain coming in and | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
when strengthening, with | :27:18. | :27:18. |
