would bring too many costs, seems to have won the day. environmentalists insist the cost of climate change will be much, much higher. tim allman, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: is he the greatest men's tennis player ever? novak djokovic clinches a 19th grand slam title in a closely fought french open final. there was a bomb in the city centre. a code word known to be one used by the ira was given. army bomb experts were examining a suspect van when there was a huge explosion. the south african parliament has destroyed the foundation of apartheid by abolishing the population registration act which, for a0 years, forcibly classified each citizen according to race.
