On BBC London News: The Government is urged to rethink its plans for a | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
new high speed rail link. And a novel way to view the capital - | :01:34. | :01:44. | |
:01:44. | :01:57. | ||
plans for a walkway on top of the Good evening. Tabloid newspapers | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
found themselves in the dock today. The Daily Mirror and the Sun were | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
fined after printing articles about the landlord of Joanna Yeates, | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
murdered in Bristol last year. Christopher Jefferies was arrested | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
but freed without charge. The Attorney General said their reports | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
could have prejudiced the course of justice. Along with six other | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
newspapers they were ordered to pay substantial damages for libelling | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
Mr Jefferies. Along with the ongoing phone hacking scandal, it's | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
the latest setback for Britain's troubled tabloids. | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
He was the innocent man vilified by the tabloids. Christopher Jefferies | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
was under arrest on suspicion of murdering Jo Yeates when the | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
newspapers went to work on him. The Daily Mirror and the Sun went | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
furthest. One link in to an earlier murder and paedophile offences, and | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
the other implied he was a stalker. Today, the Lord Chief Justice said | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
that would have created a substantial risk to the course of | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
justice if Mr Jefferies had ever faced trial. He fined the Mirror | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
�50,000 and the Sun �18,000. The Attorney General that the | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
prosecution. When Mr Jefferies was arrested these newspapers lost the | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
plot, going on an extraordinary frolic of vilification of Mr | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
Jeffries in a way that was frankly outrageous. Jo Yeates' | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
disappearance dominated the headlines over Christmas and new | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
year. Her neighbour, Vincent Tabak, has admitted killing her and will | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
face court in the autumn. In a separate hearing, eight papers | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
agreed to pay substantial libel damages to Christopher Jefferies. | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
The amount remains private. He was not in court and his lawyer spoke | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
for him. Christopher Jefferies is the latest victim of the regular | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
witch-hunts and character assassination conducted by the | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
worst elements of the British tabloid media. Many of the stories | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
published in these newspapers are designed to monster the individual. | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
It has been a dreadful day for the tabloids. The libel payouts and | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
fines for contempt are costly and humiliating, and the Attorney | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
General has Le -- has read them the riot act. But it could have been | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
worse. In 1949, the editor of the Daily Mirror was sent to jail for | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
contempt of court. And just as it looked as if the row about phone | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
hacking was dying down, it has blazed up again. The policeman who | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
investigated the disappearance and murder of Sarah Payne said he | :04:20. | :04:28. | |
thought his phone had been hacked, tapped as he put it. I think the | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
tapping of phones is outrageous. The tapping of a murder victim's | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
parents' phone is just, it defies belief. If they have now stepped | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
into the world of tapping police officers' phones, where does this | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
stop? Tonight, Sara Payne's mother vowed to challenge what she called | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
the bad apples involved in phone hacking. She worked closely with | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
the News of the World campaigning for tougher action against | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
paedophiles, yet her phone number was on a list belonging to Glenn | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
Mulcaire, the investigator used by the paper. In a statement, he said | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
he apologised but was just following instructions. Also today, | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
Baroness Buscombe resigned as chairman of the newspaper's | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
watchdog, the Press Complaints Commission. In recent weeks she had | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
struggled to defend their record. Campaigners welcomed the move. | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
want independent regulation but with teeth, so that it would be the | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
one thing the tabloids would fear and that was where their reputation | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
would matter, in relation to the PCC. But that has yet to happen. | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
Tonight, yet more bad news for the press. Scotland Yard said it was | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
extending its investigation of phone akin to cover computer | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
hacking, too. -- phone hacking. | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
James Murdoch was today given strong backing from BSkyB, where he | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
is also chairman. This, despite questions raised about his role in | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
light of the phone hacking scandal. The unanimous support from the | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
board came as the company reported operating profits of over �1 | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
billion. There is flash photography in this report. | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
On the menu for British Sky Broadcasting today, annual results | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
which showed revenues or income of �6.6 billion, up 16%, which | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
consolidates its position as the biggest British broadcaster. But | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
for its chairman, James Murdoch, life has not been so rosy, because | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
he is also chairman of News Corporation's UK arm, which owns | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
the News of the World. Given the widespread criticism there has been | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
of News International and James Murdoch, why did the board take the | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
view that James Murdoch should not stand down as chairman? The vast | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
majority of shareholders are very supportive of James and recognise | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
his contribution. Of course they want to see the appropriate system | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
of governance and independence at Sky which we have and will continue | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
to have, but he has strong support with shareholders, strong support | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
in the business and strong support from the board. But evidence from | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
two former colleagues of his, Colin Myler and Tom Crone, could weaken | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
James Murdoch, depending on how this committee rules on a | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
disagreement between them over when James Murdoch knew about the extent | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
of illegal phone hacking at the News of the World. Tom Crone and | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
Colin Myler and John Chapman have made statements suggesting the | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
evidence given by James Murdoch was incorrect, so we want to find more | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
details of that and we have written to ask them to supply more | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
information. Once we have it, it is likely we will want to put it to | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
James Murdoch and to hear his response. What is striking is that | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
all the bad publicity about what happened at BSkyB's biggest | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
shareholder, News Corporation, does not seem to have harmed BSkyB. In a | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
weak economy, British Sky Broadcasting pushed up operating | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
profits by over �1 billion, ending the year with 10.3 million paying | :07:50. | :07:59. | |
customers. It is handing back to customers �750 million in cash. The | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
moment James Murdoch has not more famous father received a foam pipe | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
in the face. It was delivered by this protester, who today pleaded | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
guilty to assault. I would like to say that this has been the most | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
humble day of my life. And what if the Murdochs finder something worse | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
than foam is sticking to them. The what if Ofcom find that BSkyB is no | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
longer fit and proper to hold a broadcasting licence. I refute any | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
suggestion that BSkyB is not an appropriate owner of a broadcast | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
licence. The licence is held by the company and the company is | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
controlled by a majority of independent directors at board | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
level. We have strong systems of control and strong standards right | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
throughout Sky. That implies that if the going gets tough for James | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
and Rupert Murdoch, the independent directors of Sky would try to put | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
distance between themselves and the businesses founders, the Murdochs. | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
The first funeral has taken place of the 77 victims killed a week ago | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
in Norway by Anders Breivik. Bano Rashid was an 18-year-old Iraqi | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
Kurd who had come to Norway as a refugee in 1996. Hundreds also | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
attended a memorial service in Oslo organised by the Norwegian Labour | :09:13. | :09:23. | |
:09:23. | :09:27. | ||
The coffin containing the body of 18-year-old Bano Rashid. It is | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
brought out from church to be laid to rest. Her family, originally | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
from Iraq, mourning the loss of a daughter who had been a leading | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
light in the Muslim community here. Exactly a week ago, Bano Rashid was | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
shot dead, along with more than 60 others attending a youth camp on | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
the island of Utoeya. She had dreamt of becoming a politician. So | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
many friends and relatives came to the funeral that hundreds had to | :10:01. | :10:09. | |
stand outside. She will be missed, but the youth can use her as an | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
example to go into politics, or follow their dreams. Because she | :10:13. | :10:21. | |
was well on her way of becoming a perfect, perfect human being. | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
back here in Oslo, it has also been a day of remembrance for those | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
killed exactly a week ago. Besides the crowds gathered here at this | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
ever-expanding sea of flowers, they have also been a number of poignant | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
events in the city. Members of the governing Labour Party gathered for | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
an emotional reunion. The party was the target of both attacks last | :10:48. | :10:58. | |
Friday. The summer camp on Utoeya Island had been for its youth wing. | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
The Prime Minister, Jens Stoltenberg, said that many of | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
their finest young people were now dead. But in unity, he said, we | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
will manage to go on. And, as they mourned, the police took the man | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
responsible for the atrocity, Anders Breivik, for a second round | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
of questioning. But so far they have not found any evidence he was | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
part of a network of extremists, as he claims. And so far there is no | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
sign his killing spree will deepen divisions within Norwegian society. | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
At today's funeral, Christians and Muslims, immigrants and ethnic | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
Norwegians, side by side. Exactly what Anders Breivik wanted to | :11:44. | :11:53. | |
prevent. In the United States there is still | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
no deal on raising the country's borrowing limit. With Tuesday's | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
deadline looming, leading senators and Congressmen are planning to try | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
to broker a deal, urged on by another televised appeal by | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
President Obama. If they fail, the world's largest economy could | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
default on its debts, or simply run out of money for things like | :12:13. | :12:22. | |
pension payments. From Washington, Mark Mardell. | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
Prayers for the politicians, who do seem in need of some divine | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
inspiration. What would a default of the nation has no debt mean for | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
you? As the nation waits on tenterhooks for Congress to act, | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
more bad news, slower-than-expected growth. The President says they | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
must find a way out of this mess. There are a lot of crises in the | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
world that we cannot predict or avoid. Hurricanes, earthquakes, | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
tornadoes, terrorist attacks. This is not one of those crises. The | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
power to solve this is in our hands. Sometimes it might seem it is in no | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
hands of the stuffed toy who helped to open the New York Stock Exchange | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
this morning. There are not many laughs there these days. Watching | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
every twist and turn, Scott Talbot, who represents financial firms. | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
They are worried what happens if a deal is not done. The possibility | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
of a downgrade in the US credit rating will send ripples across the | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
US. The US has always been the gold standard for paying its debts. We | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
have always had a triple-A rating. If we lose that, it will weaken our | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
position in the global economy. decades, the US has been raising | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
its debt ceiling, how much it can borrow, without much fuss. When | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
Ronald Reagan became President, it stood at almost $1 trillion. 18 | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
increases later, it was 2.8 trillion. During the Clinton years | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
there were four increases, bringing it to almost six trillion. Seven | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
more increases under George W Bush raised it took almost -- to over 11 | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
trillion. Under Obama, it has gone up to over 14 trillion dollars. The | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
difference, a new driving force has arrived in Washington, tea-party | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
back Republicans who will not go for any deal that allows America to | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
borrow more. They say when you are in debt, you change your diet. | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
do not continue to eat lobster and steak. They start to eat chicken, | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
Hamburg and hot dogs. We must do what is absolutely necessary, and | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
raising the debt ceiling is the wrong thing to do. In Washington's | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
Eastern market, Americans seem frustrated it is taking so long. | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
Totally disgusted. I hope the President a enacts the 14th | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
Amendment and overrides these idiots. It is unfortunate that they | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
are putting the United States at risk to carry out their own | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
personal agenda. I am pretty fed up. The American people may despair of | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
their politicians' brinkmanship, but they expect a deal to be done, | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
even if only at the last minute. The trouble with that theory is | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
that there are some politicians here who think it would be good | :15:00. | :15:09. | |

The crisis in Somalia is becoming increasingly desperate but the | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
famine threatening thousands of lives. United Nations is warning | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
the worst is yet to come. The UK's Disasters Emergency Committee says | :15:34. | :15:41. | |
it has raised �37 million so far, but the UN says it needs �850 | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
million. Many of the people affected are crossing the border | :15:44. | :15:50. | |

That is putting extra pressure on the aid operation here at the | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
border. The number of children on the danger list at his hospital has | :16:40. | :16:47. | |
doubled in the past fortnight. -- at this hospital. Aidan is three. | :16:47. | :16:52. | |

terms of human resources and supplies, because the numbers are | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
increasing. We are trying to mobilise resources so we can bring | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
in more doctors, more nurses and buy a bit more of the medical | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
commodities that we need. And where to house everyone? The | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
camps are bursting. Kenya does not want refugees to move into this | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
permanent settlement in case they stay for good. The solution, at | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
least for now, comes in the form of these tense, thousands of them have | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
been put up by the United Nations. There is one for each family here, | :17:31. | :17:41. | |
Showing me round today is a young Somali who fled here when Waugh | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
first came to this country. He has lived in this camp for 20 years. | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
Will he ever go home? I am optimistic that in the near future | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
everything will be back to normal and that we will be like citizens | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
in our own country. But while one man dreams, another Somali family | :18:02. | :18:07. | |

credibility to the fighters in the east, and his experience made him | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
the ideal man to lead the rebel armed forces. He could speak as an | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
equal to the Libyan leader, something he did in a BBC interview | :19:32. | :19:39. | |

rumours swirled he was still in contact with the regime. He was | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
gunned down on his way to answer questions about slow progress on | :20:10. | :20:14. | |

from Tripoli. Further east, a number of powerful tribes have | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
joined together and of fighting around Brega. Whoever is | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
responsible for the murder of General Younes, what matters now is | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
the impact it has on the struggle against Colonel Gaddafi. It feeds | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
into those tribal divisions that have always existed in the | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
opposition movement, and members of the General's own clan are already | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
armed and angry about what has taken place. More importantly, it | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
has a severe impact on the military struggle against Colonel Gaddafi's | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
forces. Here in his art and elsewhere, it is a crucial juncture | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
when they need unity and momentum, leaving them without a leader. -- | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
Ian Misrata. In many ways, other commanders are already leading the | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
fight on the ground. It is a conflict that has seemed like a | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
series of local battles as much as a national one. This lieutenant | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
colonel is another defective. He says the General's death will make | :21:33. | :21:40. | |
him even more determined to push on In a week that Britain gave its | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
full backing to the rebel government, the West must hope he | :21:44. | :21:52. | |
Formula One fans will no longer be able to watch all of the race's | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
live on the BBC from next year. The corporation will share the | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
broadcasting rights with Sky Sports. It is the first time viewers in the | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
UK will have to pay if they want to watch all of the races as they | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
happen. Here is sports correspondent Dan Roan. Lewis | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
Hamilton wins the German Grand Prix... It is moments like this | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
that have helped to make Formula One a ratings hit for the BBC, but | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
now, despite growing audiences, the corporation will share the action. | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
Today the teams have been practising head of this weekend's | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
Hungarian Grands Prix, but all the talk was of Sky claiming pole for | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
the sport's coveted television rights. We do not want to lose the | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
beaver, they do a super job for us, so the last thing we want is for | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
them to disappear. We are trying to find a way to keep them in, keep | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
everybody happy, and I think with the B B C and Sky, the public will | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
get better coverage. We cannot ask for better coverage than the BBC | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
give, but with Sky, there will be a lot more coverage. The BBC will | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
still show certain key races live, the British from Prix at | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
Silverstone, the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix, and the concluding race | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
of each season, but it does mean that for the first time viewers | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
will not be able to watch every Grand Prix life on free-to-air | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
television. And here at the home of British motor sport, the | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
overwhelming reaction of the fans was negative. People are going to | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
get a little bit annoyed probably and maybe God it a little bit. It | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
is not gone to help the sport, they will lose fans and money. It is the | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
same as Wimbledon, you can see that going to Sky. There's so much that | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
England has got that is taken away from them with Sky as in football | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
and everything else. I think it is something we should pay for. The | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
BBC should keep it. We are not able to watch all of the races, that is | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
pretty disappointing. Will it make you buy Sky? No. Formula One fits | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
into a wider portfolio of the BBC's sports rights. Other prized assets | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
include Wimbledon, at the Grand National, the Open and the Olympics. | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
They are historic, high profile events which bring the nation | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
together, but the corporation must make 20% savings, and it appears no | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
area is immune from cuts. We have to be pragmatic, flexible and | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
adaptable. We are operating in a tough financial climate. There are | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
lots of pressures on the BBC to deliver savings, and this new deal | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
does that. Before today's news, there had been speculation that the | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
BBC may be forced to drop its Formula One coverage altogether. | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
Now this John Steele has been struck, it will be for the sport's | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
fans to give their verdict in the years ahead. That this joint deal. | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
After a convincing win at Lord's last week, England's cricketers | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
struggled on the Thursday of the second Test against India at Trent | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
Bridge. In front of a full house, the home side suffered an early | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
collapse, only reaching 221 all out thanks to a spirited fightback led | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
by Stuart Broad. England were 24-1 in reply. Patrick Geary watched the | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
action. Through the usual sideshows of Test | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
cricket hardly seemed necessary. The main event was another. England | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
began the day 1-0 up on the best side in the world and seemingly on | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
the march. But having lost the toss, they were soon in retreat. Alastair | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
Cook was given lbw, the decision reviews that England want | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
introduced would have saved him. If that was controversial, Jonathan | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
Trott's dismissal was clear cut, Sri than striking in his first over. | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
He took the key wicket of Kevin Pietersen, and England's resistance | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
went with them. Praveen Kumar got in on the act, attempting Andrew | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
Strauss. He then trapped Eoin Morgan leg before wicket. The rest | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
of the middle-order gave way the UN Ian Bell lost his concentration. | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
The hosts were teetering on 124-8. But having seen his colleagues | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
humbled by India, Stuart Broad finally wrested some initiative. | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
The number nine scored a vital 50, taking his side to 221 all out. The | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
momentum carried over the innings break. Jimmy Anderson's first ball | :26:11. | :26:17. |
