Tonight at ten: We're inside the only town in Syria | :00:05. | :00:08. | |
under the control of opposition forces. We've gained exclusive | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
access to Zabadani, just outside Damascus, where the Free Syrian | :00:11. | :00:21. | |
:00:21. | :00:23. | ||
Army is now in charge. These people are effectively in control of their | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
town, able to walk in the main square unmolested by President | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
Assad's security forces. It is a sign that his regime is feeling the | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
strain of the uprising. The fall of the town has boosted the morale of | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
protesters who now hope President Assad's time is finally up. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
We'll be exploring if the Assad regime will allow this freedom to | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
last. Also tonight: | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
Dissident republican Brian Shivers is jailed for the murder of two | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
soldiers in Antrim. Patrick Azimkar and Mark Quinsey were shot dead | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
outside their barracks. Their families say their quest for | :00:53. | :01:00. | |
justice goes on. There are more people involved and we want them | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
sentenced. Please help the police before these people destroy more | :01:03. | :01:06. | |

Good evening. Ten months into the uprising | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
against President Assad in Syria, we have an exclusive report tonight | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
from the only town under the full control of opposition forces. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
Zabadani, which is just outside of the capital, Damascus, has been the | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
scene of intense fighting in recent days, but government forces have | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
now pulled out, leaving the Free Syrian Army in charge. Today | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
protests continued across Syria, with activists saying eight people | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
were killed by security forces. Jeremy Bowen spent the day in | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
Zabadani. He's just sent this report on what its victory could | :02:31. | :02:41. | |
:02:41. | :02:42. | ||
There is a ceasefire in Zabadani, after 10 months of trauma for local | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
people. The army has a few outposts, but they are not shooting now. The | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
regime was forced into the truce because their men could not | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
dislodge the rebels. Zabadani is half-an-hour's drive from the | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
centre of Damascus. Since Wednesday, most of it has been in the hands of | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
the rebels. Eyesore pockets of damage from the fighting with a | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
local activist who said he would be in more danger if his face was | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
shown. What about the future? What are you going to do next week and | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
the week after that, because Assad is still in power in Damascus? | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
will still go without protest every day. Until the regime falls down. | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
And we will defend ourselves from the Assad regime, from a sad's | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
troops. Zabadani's main square is now dominated by what Syrian score | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
the independence flag. Protesters want to revive old national symbols, | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
like Libyans did in their revolution. The fact that these | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
people are effectively in control of their town, that they are able | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
to walk in the main square unmolested by President as a's | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
security forces is a sign that his regime is feeling the strain of the | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
uprising. This moment may not last that long, because President | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
Assad's forces are still camped on the outskirts of this town. These | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
are the local heroes, for writers from a Free Syrian Army. -- | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
fighters. They are celebrating a victory, but some worry that the | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
President's men have only pulled back because of pressure from the | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
Arab League. The fighters say they will be ready. He has heavy weapons, | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
you have rifles. How can you win? TRANSLATION: God willing, we will | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
win. And he says, we are ready to dive for the women and children, | :04:41. | :04:51. | |
:04:51. | :04:52. | ||
and to defend our honour. -- to die. They chanted, good to salute the | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
Free Army. The truce, even if it too short, is the regime's first | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
acknowledgement that the rebel fighters are changing the balance | :05:00. | :05:10. | |
:05:10. | :05:10. | ||
of power in Syria. The fireworks were to tell people it was time for | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
the evening protest. Zabadani is not the only town near Damascus | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
seething with rebellion, but it is the only one where the President | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
has ceded power to the protesters. It is enough for me to have these | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
two days of freedom. And it doesn't matter if I die tomorrow. It is | :05:31. | :05:39. | |
enough that I feel free for hours. The regime's forces are | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
overstretched enough to take a step back here, but they are still | :05:42. | :05:52. | |
:05:52. | :05:52. | ||
powerful. This could be a pause, not a new beginning for this town. | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
A special report from our Middle East editor who is in Syria. | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
Newsnight tonight as an undercover report on how the free Syrian army | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
are operating inside Damascus, at 10:30pm on BBC Two. | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
A dissident republican has been jailed for life for the murder of | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
two soldiers outside the barracks in Northern Ireland. 46-year-old | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
Brian Shivers was found guilty over the killing of Sapper Patrick | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
Azimkar and Mark Quinsey in 2009. They were shot dead as they | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
collected a pizza outside their barracks. Another man, 44-year-old | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
Colin Duffy, was cleared of taking part in the ambush. This report | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
contains flash photography. The moments before the murders of | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
the two young soldiers were caught on CCTV. Dressed in army uniforms, | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
five soldiers came out of their base to collect a pizza delivery. | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
Sapper Patrick Azimkar was in front. His colleague, Mark Quinsey, was in | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
the middle. Seconds later, they came under attack. 63 shots were | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
fired at them in less than one minute. The security guard found | :07:00. | :07:10. | |
:07:10. | :07:17. | ||
21-year-old Patrick Azimkar from north London was killed. So was 23- | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
year-old Mark Quinsey from Birmingham. Two men later went on | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
trial, charged with the murders. Colin Duffy from Lurgan and Brian | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
Shivers. The trial was told that their DNA was discovered inside the | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
getaway car found near the murder scene. Brian Shivers, who has been | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
diagnosed with a terminal illness, was today found guilty of the | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
murders. But his co-accused, Colin Duffy, seen here in the beard, was | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
acquitted and walked free from court. The judge said the case | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
against him had not been proved beyond reasonable doubt. | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
REPORTER: What is your reaction? A small crowd of loyalists heckled | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
him, but police intervened to stop any clashes. It is not the first | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
time Colin Duffy has been acquitted on a murder charge. He was accused | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
of killing a soldier and two police officers in the 1990s but was | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
ultimately cleared on all charges. He denied any link to the two | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
soldiers killed in Antrim. They were shot dead the day before they | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
were due to leave Northern Ireland for Afghanistan. Patrick Azimkar | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
was well aware of the dangers of a military career. He told his | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
parents that if anything ever happened to him they should not let | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
it spoil the rest of their lives. His father will often say, in the | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
last year or two, when it has been so difficult sometimes to get | :08:44. | :08:53. | |
through the day, he will say, you know, remember what Patrick said. | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
We have got to get on with our lives. It is difficult for Mark | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
Quinsey's family, too. My world has been torn apart. I cannot change | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
that. But please help the police before these people destroy more | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
families. The dissident republican group the Real IRA killed the two | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
soldiers as part of their campaign to try to wreck the peace process. | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
Support for violence in Northern Ireland is now very, very low. The | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
dissidents only have small pockets of support. But groups like the | :09:26. | :09:33. | |
Real IRA remain armed and dangerous. Last night, two bombs exploded in | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
Londonderry. Although no one was hurt, it showed the threat which | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
still exists. Police say they are making inroads against the | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
dissidents and they are determined to ensure that all of those | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
involved in the killing of Patrick Azimkar and Mark Quinsey will | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
eventually be caught. Thousands of form of Woolworths | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
employees have one up to �67 million in compensation after their | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
trade union won an employment tribunal. USDAW claimed it had not | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
been properly consulted over redundancies. Nearly 30,000 people | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
were made jobless after Woolworths went into administration in 2008. | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
Staff at larger stores will be entitled to 60 days back pay, | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
funded by the taxpayer. The scale of the infection outbreak | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
which has claimed the lives of three newborn babies at a hospital | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
in Belfast became clear tonight. A total of seven babies have been | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
found suffering from a bacterial infection at the Royal Victoria | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
Hospital. One is still being treated, two have recovered. | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
Another baby is said to have recovered but died later from | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
unrelated causes. Dominic Hughes reports from Belfast. | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
Hard to eradicate and potentially deadly, pseudomonas is one of the | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
most common types of hospital acquired infections, targeting the | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
most vulnerable. At Belfast's Royal Maternity Hospital it has now | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
claimed the lives of three premature babies being cared for in | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
the neonatal unit. Staff are preparing to deep clean the unit to | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
stop further infections. We have spent the last couple of days | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
trying to support the parents who are in this situation, because | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
obviously it is a very difficult and stressful time for them, as it | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
is also for the staff in the unit. So, what is pseudomonas? It is a | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
common but tough type of bacteria infection that has little effect on | :11:26. | :11:33. | |
healthy people cut -- but Ken Gude did lead to some patients. -- can | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
cause diddly. Last year there were more than 3800 cases reported in | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
England and Ireland. It can be catastrophic for vulnerable babies, | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
affecting the chest, causing pneumonia and can lead to urinary | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
tract infections. This is a bacteria which likes a warm, moist | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
environment. Unfortunately, because of the nature of the conditions | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
these babies have we often ventilating them and they require | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
moist air through the ventilator, so it is an ideal breeding ground | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
for this particular bacteria. families have already suffered a | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
devastating loss as a result of this bacterial outbreak, but these | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
are also desperately anxious times for more than 20 other families | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
whose children were being treated in the same unit. They must now | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
wait to see if their children are also infected. Gary McCann knows | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
what the parents may be going through. His daughter, Katie, born | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
with cerebral palsy, was infected with pseudomonas last year but | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
recovered after being treated with antibiotics. My heart just went out | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
to the parents, because I know how we felt when Katie was in intensive | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
care, to watch her drain away. I am deeply concerned that the health | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
service is putting children through this. The immediate task is to | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
isolate and eradicate the source of this pseudomonas outbreak. Longer | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
term, questions will have to be asked about how it could have been | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
prevented in the first place. A minister in charge of benefit | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
reform has denied that people are suffering as a result of welfare | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
cuts. Iain Duncan-Smith says the proposed cap on benefits would hope | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
to make families more independent and change their lives for the | :13:13. | :13:23. | |
:13:23. | :13:23. | ||
Should there be a cap on how much benefits anyone can claim? | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
Providing they are capable of work. The government says years and the | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
figure should be 26,000 per family, per year. -- says yes. The | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
government estimates 50,000 households will have their benefits | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
reduced, losing on average around �93 a week. Welfare is about | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
changing your life, about taking you from dependency and moving you | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
to independence. If that means saying there is a limit to what the | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
state is prepared to pay, I think taxpayers are marginal and low | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
incomes want to know there is a limit. The government are keen to | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
talk about their idea of putting a cap on benefits of �26,000 a year. | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
They know, frankly, it is pretty popular. What are their critics say | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
it is, they are trying to distract attention from other, much more | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
serious benefits cuts which affect many more people. | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
Sandra, who lives on this estate in south London, won't be affected by | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
the benefits cap, but nevertheless, she is packing up to move out of | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
the flat she shares with her 5- year-old son. She will soon be | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
officially homeless. The reason: cuts, which have already been made | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
to housing benefit. The rent goes up and the benefit goes down, and | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
you can't find the money to pay the extra bits. That means you have to | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
pack your boxes and get out? leave your area, leave your church, | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
your school, everything. doesn't want to leave a community | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
where she chairs the local residents' association, and was one | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
of those named London of the year. What will you say to someone who | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
says, it is a nice flat, a nice area, it is tough, but in the end, | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
the country can't afford to pay for it. I will say when I moved here, | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
it was not very expensive. Things changed. Cuts already made not just | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
to housing benefit, but to other benefits, are causing more and more | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
people real concern. The minister in charge of welfare reform is | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
confident the public is on his side. Politically it appeals to taxpayers. | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
What they don't like hearing about is the many thousands of people who | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
are now really suffering. It is a way of distracting them. But they | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
are not suffering. The point about this is, what makes you suffer is | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
the state that plunges you into dependency on the state. It does | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
two things. It means bigger bills for taxpayers and it means your | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
life and your children's life will be blighted by being dependent on | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
me, the Secretary of State, to give you the money to live. On Monday, | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
the House of Lords will debate proposals to exclude a child | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
benefit from the new benefits gap, lessening its impact on large | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
families. The Lord's have defeated the government before, and this | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
time, a bishop is leading the opposition. There is a very real | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
risk that these reforms in the Bill will cause suffering to the most | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
vulnerable in our society. What we are hoping to do on Monday is to | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
less than that suffering for children in families where parents | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
are unemployed -- lesson that suffering. That will undermine the | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
whole point, says that minister, who will fight to reverse any | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
change in the Commons. Next week, the parliamentary battle may be | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
about a benefits cap. The war is about something much bigger. | :16:51. | :17:01. | |

Tributes to the jazz singer, Etta James, who has died aged 73. | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
Some people are in one area, that is what they are known for. She did | :17:11. | :17:20. | |
There is another key moment tomorrow in the battle between the | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
Republicans, who hope to challenge President Obama for the White House. | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
When the state of South Carolina gets its chance to vote. The former | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
House Speaker, Newt Gingrich, is the latest to face uncomfortable | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
questions after his ex-wife claimed he wanted to have an open marriage. | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
Beyond the personalities, there are deep ideological divides. | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
South Carolina clings to its heritage, even as the South changes | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
all around it. Here in a land of churches, religion is a powerful | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
force. Evangelical Christians are in a majority and cannot decide | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
elections, when they are united. But when Christians look at the | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
candidates who want to take on President Obama in this autumn's | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
election, they are no more in agreement and other republicans. | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
The man they have the most agreement with his Mitt Romney. | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
This pastor worries that he was not always anti- abortion, but the real | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
sticking point is his religion, he is a Mormon. The issue evangelical | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
Christians will have with Mitt Romney will be his Mormonism as a | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
face. When you look at the doctrinal beliefs between Agenda | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
local -- evangelical Christianity and Mormonism, there is a | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
separation in believes of who got his, who chooses his, or Kevin will | :18:40. | :18:48. | |
be, what -- who Jesus is, what heaven will be. Redemption is that | :18:48. | :18:57. | |
their heart of their face but they may not be keen on the claims that | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
Nick Gingrich had wanted and open marriage. He exploded in righteous | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
fury when that was put to him. think the destructive, vicious, | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
office. I am appalled you would begin a presidential debate on a | :19:18. | :19:25. | |
topic like that. Morality isn't all that matters. The candidates make | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
sure they visit at this fast-food joint, where the orders are | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
hollowed in blues style. The customers keep coming, but South | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
Carolina's economy is hurting. The tea party, which wants to cut | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
government spending, is strong. They see Mitt Romney as lukewarm | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
but could not agree who is hot. did not have the one candidate who | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
had the complete package of conservatism, a good history. A lot | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
of these candidates are carrying baggage. Somebody who has taken tea | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
party values and applied them in the way that they governed their | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
state or how they spoke on the floor of the house in the Senate. | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
That person did not arise. elegant Charleston, the well-heeled | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
elite may favour a more moderate candidate like Mick Narnia. -- like | :20:15. | :20:25. | |
This vote here is important. It is the Conservatives' best hope of | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
halting Mitt Romney's momentum. If he manages to win here, he will | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
look almost unstoppable. The British embassy in Baghdad has | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
confirmed it has received the body of hostage Alan McMenemy. He was a | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
security guard from Glasgow who was kidnapped in Iraq in 2007, along | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
with four other men. We can speak to Frank Gardner. This has been a | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
very long and painful time for the families. It certainly has. This | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
really draws a line under Britain's longest running hostage crisis for | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
a generation. Allen McMenemy is the last of five British hostages who | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
were kidnapped in 20072 finally come home from Iraq. Only one has | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
come home alive. His family have had to wait far longer than the | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
other hostage families, more than two tears in their case. He was | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
kidnapped in broad daylight in Baghdad -- two years. He appeared | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
in a hostage video. His captors wanted a straight exchange, they | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
wanted the Americans to release some militants they had. The | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
British Government refused and one by one, the bodyguards were all | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
killed. In the case of Alan McMenemy, his captors said he died | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
trying to escape and overpower his captors. For his family, they will | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
at last have some closure when his body comes home in the next few | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
days. Hackers have targeted US government | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
websites in apparent revenge attacks after one of the world's | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
biggest music and film Sheering sides was shut down. The founders | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
of megaupload.com, which had an estimated 50 million hits a day, | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
were arrested in New Zealand, are accused of making millions from | :22:08. | :22:18. | |
:22:18. | :22:22. | ||
It was a thriving business with high-profile musicians apparently | :22:22. | :22:30. | |
happy to promote it as the place to share files on the internet. Now, | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
Mega Upload has been closed and its executives have appeared in a New | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
Zealand court. The authorities accusing them of facilitating | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
millions of illegal downloads in a criminal conspiracy. Homes | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
belonging to the site's German-born founder have been raided, with | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
police seizing luxury cars and $10 million in cash. Hackers retaliated, | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
shutting down some American government websites for a while to | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
protest against the closure of Mega Upload. It was one of the most | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
popular sites on the internet, with 150 million people using it to | :23:05. | :23:12. | |
upload material, most of perfectly legal, according to the company, | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
and to download music and files. It earned this man, the founder, Kim | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
Dotcom, �27 million last year. The FBI said it cost copyright holders | :23:22. | :23:29. | |
half a billion dollars, over �300 million in lost revenue. The battle | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
over online piracy is hotting up. This band, the The Soundcarriers, | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
says it is not a victimless crime. Sales of their latest album have | :23:38. | :23:47. | |
been dwarfed by illegal downloads. We have lost on sales. Over 100,000 | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
sales in the last album, a loan. The albums that we produce, it | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
costs money to produce them. We have to hire studios, we have a | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
press agent, we have to pay for these things. But Webber freedom | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
campaigners warned against an over- reaction. It is important to | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
remember that file hosts are important and legitimate services, | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
they are not all havens for copyright infringement. They are | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
incredibly useful for all internet users and many businesses and we | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
need to make sure we don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
Mega Upload, which was based in Hong Kong, may have been put out of | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
business, but a site promising something similar has already | :24:28. | :24:38. | |
:24:38. | :24:44. | ||
surfaced in Belize. The celebrated jazz soul and blues | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
singer, Etta James, has died in hospital in California. She was 73 | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
and had been suffering from leukaemia. During her long career | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
she won six Grammys and battled heroin addiction. Among her best | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
known songs were I'd Rather Go Blind and At Last. Nick Higham | :24:55. | :25:04. | |
looks back at her life. # At last... My laugh -- My Love | :25:04. | :25:13. | |
has come along. Etta James, singing At Last. More than any other, it | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
became her son. Played at countless Weddings and son at President | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
Obama's in operation. Her own life as well was like a son, but an | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
often sad and bitter one. She spent decades battling heroin addiction | :25:30. | :25:38. | |
and obesity, in and out of rehab and jailed. Yet she never stopped | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
singing, even if crossover pop success eluded her. She did what | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
she wanted to do. She was a very strong person. I don't think | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
anybody could have said... Maybe we could... She did it because she | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
wanted to sing it. Not because somebody suggested she would go | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
mainstream. She was her own person. She had been effectively abandoned | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
by her 14-year-old mother, something that always troubled her. | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
I don't really know what to say, other than a wish my mother had | :26:12. | :26:22. | |
