$:/STARTFEED. Tonight, plans to allow gay couples to marry have | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
been approved by MPs. But the debate reveals deep divisions among | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
Conservative MPs, most of whom refuse to back the Bill. Marriage | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
is by its nature a heterosexual union. It's a bringing together of | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
one man and one woman. It is not just a romantic attachment. Above | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
all, I think of two people, faithful and loving, who simply | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
want their commitment to be recognised as it is for straight | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
couples and that, in the end, is what this Bill is about. Supporters | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
say it's a natural development from civil partnerships. The Prime | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
Minister agrees. I think it's right that gay people should be able to | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
get married. This is about equality, but it's also about making our | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
society fair. We'll be asking how dangerous the Tory divisions are | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
for David Cameron. Also, the court hears that Chris Huhne's former | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
wife was looking for revenge when she revealed she had taken his | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
speeding points. The Irish Government apologises to thousands | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
of women who were locked up in work houses run by Catholic nuns. | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
hurts me so much. I'll never get over it. I'll bring it to the my | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
grave. A dark day for the NHS say experts, ahead of tomorrow's report | :01:29. | :01:33. | |

Good evening. David Cameron's plans to legalise gay marriage in England | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
and Wales have been approved by MPs. But the debate revealed deep | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
divisions among the Conservatives, most of whom refused to back the | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Bill. David Cameron said the same- sex marriage will make society | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
stronger, but many of his colleagues insist the plans will | :02:26. | :02:34. | |
alienate voters. Nick Robinson has the latest for us. | :02:34. | :02:44. | |
At 7pm tonight the bells of Big Ben told, but for what -- tolled, but | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
for what? The passion outside the Commons matched at times today, by | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
the passion inside. The vote, when it came, was clear and decisive. | :02:55. | :03:05. | |
The ayes to the right, 400. The noes to the left, 175. A massive | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
majority for gay marriage, but more Tories voted against than in favour. | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
How it must hurt David Cameron to be applauded by his opponents but | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
snubbed by so many of his own supporters. It hasn't won the | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
majority of MPs in the major governing party and needs to be a | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
wake-up call that he has to be more sensitive to some of the concerns | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
as the Bill goes through Parliament. In a pub in Whitby the result was | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
watched by Andrew and Colin who believe this could change their | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
lives together. It means we would move on from a civil partnership to | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
a marriage and have the full wedding and have everything that we | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
wanted to and celebrate that with family and friends like we wanted | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
initially six years ago. Like everybody else. If you're wondering | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
what the fuss is all about, given that civil partnerships have been | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
law the past eight years, listen to this clash between two Tory MPs. | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
Marriage is the union between a man and a woman. It has been | :04:05. | :04:12. | |
historically, remains so. It is Alice in Wonderland territory, | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
Orwellian almost for any government of my political persuasion to seek | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
to come along and try to rewrite the lexicon. Are the marriages of | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
millions of straight people about to be threatened because a few | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
thousand gay people are permitted to join? What will they say, | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
darling, our marriage is over, Sir Elton John has just got engaged to | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
David Furnish. David Cameron was too busy to come to the Commons or | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
to witness the trauma the proposals have caused. He left it to his | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
minister to sound reassuring. Bill, I believe, is about one thing. | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
It's about fairness. It's about giving those who want to get | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
married the opportunity to do so. Whilst protecting the rights of | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
those who don't agree with same-sex marriage. No church, no mosque, no | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
temple will be forced to marry anyone gay. The Government insisted | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
that, but that has not satisfied many religious groups. Those | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
opponents, many hundreds of my constituents are not bigots and are | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
not barking. This legislation was not in our manifesto, it was not in | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
the coalition agreement and it was not in the Queen's speech. It is | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
now more than 45 years since the law was changed to stop homosexual | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
acts being an imprisonable offence. For many this is revolting, men | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
dancing with men. Attitudes few would dare articulate now. Most, | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
though, not all, Labour and Lib Dem MPs see gay marriage as the next | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
vital step towards equality. I hope opponents will look back in ten | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
years and won't be able to remember what the fuss was about. So, today, | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
let's vote for people to be able to marry for the sake of those couples | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
who really want to wed. Proposals meant to find new ways to bring | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
people together have also created divisions, which the Prime Minister | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
must now live with. I think it's right that gay people should be | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
able to get married too. This is, yes, about equality, but it's also | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
about making our society stronger. I know there are strong views on | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
both sides of the argument. I respect that, but I think it's an | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
important step forward for oust country. Sometimes people say that | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
Parliament is irrelevant. Not today. When it agonised about the meaning | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
of love and faith and tolerance. Nick, this is clearly a momentous | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
Parliamentary event, but the impact surely to be felt much further | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
afield? That's right. It's one of the nights on which it's very | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
different outside Westminster inside. Outside, this will be seen | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
as the first step towards either equal marriage, or the disspoiling | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
of marriage, depending on your view. Inside, it's only the first of many | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
Parliamentary steps, in which both in the House of Commons and in the | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
House of Lords, there are likely to be demands from those people who | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
oppose gay marriage, not to stop it altogether. I suspect they know | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
they've lost that argument, but to reinforce guarantees to the Church | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
of England to others and registrars and others who don't accept this | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
and see it as a piece of ideology, imposed on them by a Government | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
they fundamentally disagree with. There's something else going on as | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
well, which is a great, open wound in the Conservative Party. Remember, | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
that David Cameron announced this idea of gay marriage to applause at | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
his party conference. Yet, tonight, 139 Conservative MPs refuse to | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
support him. 18 members of his own Government and many others | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
abstained. Compare those numbers with and there were opponents in | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
others, 22 for Labour and four for the Liberal Democrats. What I | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
picked up here was real anger after the vote. Anger that you might | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
predict from those who oppose this. One Tory MP said to me, "We are | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
politically self-harming. What would you do with a dog that bites | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
its own back legs off?" hyperbole, until you hear the views of one of | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
the people who voted with done, to stopped me to say, "This is not | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
leaderboard. I have taken an awful lot of flak for this and the Prime | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
Minister didn't even turn up for the debate." What happened tonight | :08:32. | :08:40. | |
is just the beginning. Thank you very much. Southwark Crown Court | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
has heard that Vicky Pryce colluded with her former husband, Chris | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
Huhne to, say she had been driving when his car was caught speeding a | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
decade ago. She denies attempting to pervert the course of justice. | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
He pleaded guilty yesterday. The prosecution says she went to a | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
newspaper with the story to try to destroy Mr Huhne's political career, | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
after he had left her for another woman. Yesterday, her former | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
husband finally admitted his ten- year guilty secret. But Vicky Pryce | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
still insists she's innocent. This morning, she listened from the dock | :09:19. | :09:29. | |
:09:29. | :09:37. | ||
as the prosecution set out the case Vicky Pryce admits she wasn't | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
driving Chris Huhne's car when it was caught by the fateful flash, | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
but she said she didn't play ball, she was forced to take the points | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
by the former minister. The jury was told it will have to decide if | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
the senior economist is the sort of woman to suffer what is caused | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
marital coercion. In 2011 when Chris Huhne revealed he was having | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
an affair, she's alleged to have taken his secret to the newspapers | :10:06. | :10:14. | |
to get revenge. He emailed Isabel Oakeshott at the Sunday Times. She | :10:14. | :10:24. | |
:10:24. | :10:45. | ||
They tried to gather proof. We have just heard a series of phone calls | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
between Chris Huhne and Vicky Pryce, secretly recorded by her, in which | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
she tries to get Chris Huhne to admit forcing her to take the | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
speeding points. Chris Huhne is calm. He says the idea is | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
ridiculous. He denies what yesterday he admitted in court. | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
Vicky Pryce's trial continues on Thursday and is expected to last at | :11:06. | :11:14. | |
least a week. An official report has concluded that the Irish state | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
was directly involved in the country's notorious Magdalene | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
Laundries, the work houses run by nuns where thousands of women and | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
girls were locked up. Successive Irish governments were argued the | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
laundries were private and the apology by the taoiseach does not | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
go far enough, according to the victims. These buildings were known | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
as laundries and work houses, but to those locked inside they were | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
prisons. For seven decades they were places where sew-called fallen | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
women and troubled girls were held. Supposedly they had been taken into | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
Christian care. But in reality, they were simply used. Forced to | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
work, having lost their freedom. you were talking they gave you a | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
slap to get on with your work and nobody knew we existed. Does it | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
still hurt? It hurts me so much. It really does. I'll never get over it. | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
I'll bring the pain to my grave, because it devastated me so much | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
for the simple reason when that door was locked I knew I was never | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
going to come out again. Some of those held in the laundries were | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
single mothers. Others were simply girls judged to be at risk of | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
promiscuity. Run by nuns, they were presented to the public as a place | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
where they could learn values and the feefpgz of the Church. Today's | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
report has questioned not just the morality, but made clear that there | :12:38. | :12:46. | |
was some direct State involvement. I regret the fact very much that | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
the stigma attached... country's Prime Minister was | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
challenged to apologise. He chose his words carefully. The stigma | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
that the branding together of all the residents, all 10,000 in the | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
Magdalene Laundries, needs to be emoved and should have been removed | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
long before this -- removed and should have been removed long | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
before this and I am sorry that never happened. This is relatively | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
recent history. The laundries operated between the 1920s and | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
1990s. Campaigners have been fighting for the victims, but what | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
is most important to them is the prospect of an official apology and | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
an acknowledgement from the Irish government about what took place | :13:26. | :13:36. | |
:13:36. | :13:44. | ||
That is not an apology. He is the Taoiseach of our country. He is our | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
Taoiseach, of the Irish people. And that is not an apology, and we are | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
calling for a proper apology. women died in the institutions | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
where they were held, and many never lived to see proper | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
recognition of their suffering. Although that abuse has now been | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
acknowledged, campaigners insist that the report has fallen short of | :14:05. | :14:13. | |
bringing the victims' justice. N Mali, soldiers from France and | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
ended the town of Kidal, the last rebel stronghold in the north of | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
the country. As French forces move northwards through the desert and | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
gradually hand over control to African forces, some are worried | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
that Islamist militants will be able to return. Andrew Harding | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
reports now from the villages around the liberated city of | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
Timbuktu. Beyond remote, isolated villages | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
outside Timbuktu. Islamist fighters crossed the river here a few days | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
ago, rushing off into the Sahara to escape the French military | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
offensive. Now the French are here, and the militants seemingly gone, | :14:52. | :14:59. | |
people are coming back towards Timbuktu. Maryam hit four months in | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
the countryside. I'd heard the French had come and now we feel | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
safe, she says, but I want them to stay. But the small French force | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
cannot be everywhere in this vast region. The local chief has just | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
been informed that most of the soldiers here will be gone in the | :15:17. | :15:25. | |
We know some of the rebels are still nearby, he says, if the | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
French leave, they could come back here. Yes, we are scared. | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
The French are pulling out of areas like this in order to focus for | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
their attention further north in the mountains close to the Algerian | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
border. That is where the Islamist militants are thought to be hiding | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
with some seven French hostages, but it leaves areas like Timbuktu | :15:46. | :15:56. | |
:15:56. | :15:57. | ||
Nearby, we find the Malian army, a less than reassuring presence, ill- | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
disciplined and out for revenge. Against people like this, the | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
Malian authorities parading suspected Islamist militants caught | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
apparently trying to hide within local communities, but there are | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
fears of reprisals and abuses. In the meantime, the French are still | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
on the move, and other key northern town taken today, but the focus | :16:20. | :16:30. | |
:16:30. | :16:33. | ||
will soon shift back to the chaos Coming up on the programme: The | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
billionaire's paying for the soaring cost of Russia's winter | :16:36. | :16:46. | |
Olympic Games. -- billionaires. NHS managers have warned that | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
tomorrow's publication of a report into the mistreatment of hundreds | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
of patients in Staffordshire is likely to be one of the darkest | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
days in the history of the service. A public inquiry is expected to | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
raise serious questions about the working culture within the health | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
service. One nurse told the BBC that the fear factor amongst staff | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
led to a reluctance to speak out, as health correspondent Branwen | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
Jeffreys reports. Hundreds of patients treated with | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
callous cruelty, how was it allowed to happen in an NHS hospital? Could | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
it happen again? Questions that tomorrow's report will try to | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
answer. It was in A&E that some of the worst failings happened, too | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
few staff under pressure to meet a target to see patients quickly, | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
some appalled by the indignity inflicted on the frail and elderly. | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
There was the pressure of the four hour Target, patients were left in | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
horrific situations and conditions, such as, you know, soiled bed linen, | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
things like that, because another patient would take priority simply | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
because they had to be moved out of the department. This woman tried | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
dozens of times to raise the alarm, using official forms to log | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
incidents, but no-one listened, she felt resented and intimidated. | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
There was huge pressure for the hospital to save money and the | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
targets. She says there was a reluctance to speak out against | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
that. It is the fear factor. It is the potential repercussions on new, | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
both professionally but also personally and socially, that if | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
you are speaking out against your colleagues or your managers, what | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
effect will it have? What happened here has raised questions about the | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
culture in the NHS, a culture which at Stafford hospital allowed money | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
to be put ahead of care, and which allowed the concerns of families | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
and whistleblowers to go unheard. Families campaigned hard for this | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
public inquiry. They wanted to know why warning signs were overlooked | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
by managers and by regulators. Others want the broader culture of | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
the NHS changed to move away from the focus on targets and finance. | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
Somewhere, somehow, during the development of this culture, I | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
think that the NHS has lost its moral compass, and we need to get | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
it back, and that moral compass needs to be that first and foremost | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
we are talking about the care of patients. The hospital has | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
apologised and made many changes, but what happened here has | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
implications for the NHS across England. And for the campaigners | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
who hope that no other hospitals will fail as badly. | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
The Argentine Foreign Minister says the Falkland Islands will be under | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
his country's control within 20 years. Hector Timerman is visiting | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
Britain for the first time. In a series of interviews, he ruled out | :19:51. | :19:54. | |

mark one year to go before Russia hosts the 2014 winter Olympics, | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
costing more than any previous games, the current estimate is | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
around �30 billion, part of which is being met by some of Russia's | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
richest men. There is growing resentment in the resort of Sochi, | :20:19. | :20:23. | |

that is all changing. This brand- new bobsleigh run is one of 10 | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
venues specially built for the most expensive Olympics in history. It | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
has cost more than Beijing and three times more than this year's | :20:53. | :21:00. | |
London Summer Olympics. And, unusually, large chunks of the who | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
are being paid by the country's wealthiest men, the oligarchs. | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
Vladimir Potanin is 4th on Russia's rich list, A nickel billionaire, | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
and here at Rosa Khutor he has built a brand-new Olympic standard | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
ski resort, his way, he says, of paying something back to the | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
country. All rich people want to change their image in Russia, they | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
want to do something which would be considered by people as something | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
useful, something good for them. Most winter Olympics are staged in | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
already existing world-class ski resorts, but five years ago this | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
was nothing but mountains and forests. With the help of the | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
oligarch billions, the whole thing has been built from scratch. The | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
Saatchi area has become one of the biggest building sites in the world | :21:50. | :21:55. | |

anticipating next year's winter Olympics. I think it will be one of | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
the best ones, yeah, because obviously they have built | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
everything from scratch, but just now it may not look like it is | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
ready, but that is because they are building up from scratch. As well | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
as the staggering cost, this will be one of the most controversial | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
Olympic Games of recent years. Russia's poor human rights record | :23:00. | :23:05. | |

student film is remarkable. We did not want to limit ourselves to just | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
a student film, and we are quite ambitious, and we wanted to push | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
the film as far as we can, and by sending it to as many festivals as | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
we could when we finished, that was our aim, to get it as far as the | :25:19. | :25:27. | |

put into position and photographed. Afterwards, they would be adjusted | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
slightly and photographed again, and so on, a meticulous, laborious | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
technique called stop frame animation. It took six months to | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
make the film, which costs just �4,000 to produce. It is not, | :25:59. | :26:03. | |

the secret of the film school's success? We want students who will | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
go out there and create jobs, not get jobs. We want students who, you | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
know, think they can win Oscars. We want students, you know, who can go | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
out there and confidently create shows like Wallace and Gromit, like | :26:33. | :26:40. | |
Peppa Pig, that can actually entertain. The students' team face | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
