Edinburgh is admitted to hospital following abdominal tests. Hours | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
after attending a garden party at Buckingham Palace he was taken to | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
hospital, for an operation tomorrow. He's expected to stay at The London | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
Clinic for up to two weeks - the palace says it was not an emergency | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
admission. The Duke will be 92 next week. We'll have the latest on his | :00:25. | :00:29. | |

Good evening. The Duke of Edinburgh was admitted to hospital earlier | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
today. Buckingham Palace said it was not an emergency admission, and the | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
Duke would be having an exploratory operation tomorrow at The London | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
Clinic. The Duke, who's 91, is expected to stay in hospital for up | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
to two weeks. Our royal correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, | :01:55. | :02:04. | |
has the latest. Buckingham Palace this afternoon and one of the garden | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
parties that the Queen gives every summer. And there at her siefd as | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
usual was the Duke of Edinburgh, looking entirely untroubled. | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
According to guests he seemed well and was telling jokes, as is his | :02:17. | :02:25. | |
habit, but it transpires that in recent days the Duke has had tests | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
and what the Palace describes as abdominal investigations. He was | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
taken by car this evening to the London Clinic for what the Palace | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
describes as an exploratory operation. Such an operation is | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
expected to take place tomorrow. It is thought it will involve a general | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
anaesthetic. A young person might be able to get over an operation like | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
that within a few days, but for an older person, the cardia vascular | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
system, the heart and the lungs and the other organs are older and take | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
more time to recover. Although the Duke pulled out of an engagement on | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
Monday night he was with the Queen at Westminster Abbey on Tuesday for | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
the service marking the 60 years since her Coronation. Yesterday he | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
was visiting a ship, the SS Robin, at the royal Victoria dock. There | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
was no hint of any problem then. That too was the impression of the | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
guests at the garden party at Buckingham Palace this afternoon. | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
didn't look ill. He was joking and smiling and walking around, and | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
making a very big effort this week, which has been such a special week | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
for the Queen, to be there by her side. As my son and I were leaving | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
the Palace in our car going up to Victoria, he was going in the | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
opposite direction in another car. We did think it was strange to see | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
him jetting away from Buckingham Palace right after the party. | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
inescapable fact is that the Duke will be 92 on Monday. | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
Notwithstanding that he's been continuing with a busy diary of | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
engagements. He was in Canada two weeks ago. He had a noticeably | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
bruised right eye on that occasion, another sign of which the greater | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
vulnerability of his advancing age, but it didn't stop him. I regret | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
that circumstances have prevented me from seeing more of the third | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
Battalion in recent years. Twice last summer, notably of a very damp | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
afternoon on the Thames for the Jubilee river pageant, he had to go | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
into hospital with a bladder inn fection. He was able to leave | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
hospital after a few nights. It was a similar story at Christmas 2011 | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
when there was a serious health scare, a blocked coronary artery. | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
Even then the Duke was leaving hospital after less than a week. On | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
this occasion, Buckingham Palace says the Duke will be in hospital | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
for up to two weeks. The Queen will be continuing with her programme as | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
normal. For the latest from the London | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
Clinic tonight Nicholas Witchell is there for us. What more can you tell | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
us this evening? This as I understand it is the sequence of | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
events. There were routine tests which produced a result which caused | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
the doctors to feel that they needed these abdominal investigations, as | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
the Palace has described them. Some of those took place here at this | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
hospital and they caused the doctors to feel they needed to take it a | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
stage further and admit the Duke for these exploratory operation. It is | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
exploratory. It is not we are told an emergency. He is said to have | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
been in good spirits when he walked into the hospital earlier this | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
evening. I'm not going to speculate about what they may be exploring | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
except I understand it is nothing to do with his heart. Clearly if it is | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
centred on his abdomen, and it is nothing to do with his bladder. He | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
had two instances of a bladder infection last year. What's in | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
everybody's mind is the fact that in four days' time he will be 92 years | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
old. For anybody of that ij to undergo an operation under general | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
anaesthetic inevitably will be quite challenging. Nick, thank you. | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
On to the day's other main news. The Labour leader, Ed Miliband, has | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
promised to put a three-year cap on welfare spending if he wins the next | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
election. Outlining a new approach to social security, Mr Miliband said | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
Labour would have a laser focus on how every pound was spent. The | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
Conservatives say the plan lacks detail and credibility. Our | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
political editor Nick Robinson reports. Public spending and the | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
cost of welfare. Two things which Labour knows it has yet to persuade | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
many voters to trust them with. Which is why the party unveiled a | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
plan today to cap the amount the next Government can spend on | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
welfare. Jobs for everyone who can work and help to make that happen | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
must be the starting point for social security reform, because it | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
is right and because it cuts the costs of worklessness. Ed Miliband's | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
argument today on a visit to London's City Airport was that you | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
can't cut the benefits bill by simply cutting benefits. You have | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
instead, he claimed, to cut unemployment, low pay and high | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
rents. Some of which the biggest councils in the country have all | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
come to us and said if they had the power to negotiate on behalf of | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
tenants on housing benefit, they could get far greater savings than | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
the individual on their own. So a Labour Government would give | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
councils that power. These young people were helped into work by | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
their local council. The Labour leader says he would subsidise firms | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
to take on the young long-term unemployed and force them to take | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
the jobs. He argues that if businesses were invent advised they | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
would increase wages for the low paid and that too would cut the | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
benefit bill. I've been here two-and-a-half years now. Fantastic. | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
Ed Miliband says Labour's welfare policies mark a departure from the | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
current Government's who he claims are paying the price for failure. | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
The critics will ask whether they are a departure from Labour's past. | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
There's nothing of any substance in this speech. What we've got are the | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
Labour Party worried about their image on welfare. They've become the | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
welfare party. They've voted against �80 billion of savings on welfare. | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
They say they are in favour of a limit but don't tell us what they | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
would cut. The idea of a welfare spending cap was raised by the | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
Government, not Labour. Both sides agree it should apply to that part | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
of the benefit bill not affected by rises in unemployment, which | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
benefits would it cover? No-one said. How high would the cap be? | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
No-one said that either. Therefore we simply can't know who would be | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
affected. Is your message to the country that you can cut the welfare | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
bill without any real losers? my message to the country is we can | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
keep welfare bills under control by making the right decisions and cut | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
the costs of failure. Are you saying you can cut the cost of welfare | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
without there being any real losers? I'm saying we do need to cut the | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
numbers of people on benefits. We need to cut the number of people on | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
unemployment benefits, because that is a massive problem for our | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
country. Labour has been walking a tightrope with the public this week, | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
trying to reassure those people who see it as a party of big spending, | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
without alienating those who want to see coalition cuts reversed. Labour | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
wants to give families more money and the people more money. If they | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
are saying they are going to keep a cap on that shouldn't they be | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
putting caps on other things other than the thing you are voting for | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
them for? I think #24er looking for quick fixes. He is very brave to say | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
that, because it is a change of direction for the Labour Party. I | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
think it is a change that's inevitable. Labour hope a new | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
political debate has taken you have a this week about who can best be | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
trusted to keep the lid on the cost of welfare. | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
Live to Westminster and Nick is there for us. All the focus there | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
today on welfare, but let's talk about something else Mr Miliband is | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
contending with, a controversial party donation. He is accused of not | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
practising what he has preached on the issue of tax avoidance. A it is | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
a charge made by his political enemies, by George Osborne, the | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
Chancellor in particular, because of the news that emerged about a | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
particular donation to the Labour Party. A very significant donation, | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
one. .65 million that was given not in cash but in shares. The man who | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
gave the money, John Mills, rather unhelpfully for the Labour Party | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
told the Daily Telegraph he had done it because it was tax efficient. He | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
went on to point out if had simply written a cheque instead of giving | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
the money in shares he would have had to do that from post-tax in | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
income. Half of what he planned to give would, in other words, gone to | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
the taxman, to the Government and not the Labour Party. The electoral | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
commission approved this donation, it has not breached any rules. It is | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
clearly within the law. Labour has said that. The difficulty of course | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
is just a few weeks ago it was Ed Miliband who was saying that for | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
large companies following the law when it came to tax avoidance was | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
not really good enough. Nick, thank you. | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
Syrian Government forces have been consolidating their hold on villages | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
around the key town of Qusair, which they seized from rebel fighters | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
yesterday after a two-week offensive. The fierce fighting over | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
Qusair reflects its strategic importance. It sits on a key route | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
north from the capitalm Damascus, and close to the border with | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
Lebanon. Our correspondent, Lyse Doucet, was the first western | :11:51. | :12:01. | |
journalist to enter Qusair after it fell. She returned there today. | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
Qusair is calmer today. There is non-of which the edginess we saw in | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
the immediate aftermath of battle. There's more traffic on the streets. | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
But it is almost all soldiers. Taking away whatever they can find | :12:13. | :12:20. | |
in whatever way they can. We saw almost no civilians in Qusair. | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
Except in one family. They are not staying long. They fled a year ago | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
and came back to find their home was unrecognisable. It had been occupied | :12:30. | :12:38. | |
by the rebels. It is a rebel T-shirt. A symbol of the Free Syrian | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
Army's Faruk brigades. Up stairs they show me what the fighters left | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
behind. A rifle scope. Clothes still hanging on hooks. And on the wall a | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
list of their blood groups. We are not here long and soldiers turn up. | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
Syrians and Lebanese Hezbollah, now working side by side. We spoke to | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
some Hezbollah off camera and they confirmed they are now doing regular | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
rotations into Syria. They come across the border. It is so close | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
you can even see it from the edges of Qusair. That's why the battles | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
here have been so fierce over the last 18 months. Why the Government | :13:20. | :13:30. | |
:13:30. | :13:31. | ||
deployed overwhelming force. We saw some of the makeshift weapons the | :13:31. | :13:39. | |
opposition were told to bring in. These men wave us down. They want us | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
to see other improvised devices. TRANSLATION: This is what the rebels | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
call freedom. They hate us. Before Qusair was plunged into war, | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
this was a city where Syrians of many beliefs lived together. The | :13:56. | :14:06. | |
:14:06. | :14:09. | ||
Church here was not just destroyed, it was desecrated. The physical | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
destruction in Qusair is immense and shocking. Something even more | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
worrying has happened here. The social fabric has been ripped apart. | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
Rebuilding Qusair may just be a matter of time. Rebuilding trust? | :14:29. | :14:36. | |
That may never happen. The possibility that Britain might | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
send arms to the Syrian opposition is being resisted by dozens of | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
Conservative MPs. More than 80 have signed a letter to the Prime | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
Minister demanding a parliamentary debate and vote before any weapons | :14:48. | :14:57. | |
are sent. David Cameron says that no decision has yet been made to arm | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
the Syrian rebels. The Coronation Street actor William | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
Roache has been charged with five historical offences of indecent | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
assault. The actor was arrested this morning after attending a police | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
station by appointment. The police have confirmed the offences, or the | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
alleged offences involve four girls between the age of 12 and 16. | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
David Cameron's former Director of Communication has appeared in court | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
to enter a plea of not guilty to phone-hacking and corruption | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
charges. The alleged offences date back to when he was the Editor of | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
the News of the World. Andy Coulson was the Editor of the | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
News of the World and today was the latest in a series of senior figures | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
from the paper to make their way to Southwark Crown Court. He stood in a | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
dock occupied the day before by News International Chief Executive | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
Rebekah Brooks and her husband, who were in court today, and answered | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
the charges put to him. They include illegally intercepting | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
communications, better known as phone-hacking, specifically | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
accessing mobile phone voicemail messages. Andy Coulson pleaded not | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
guilty, as did another defendant, Ian Edmondson. A second set of | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
charges cover alleged conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
including paying officers for confidential royal phone | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
directories. Andy Coulson pleaded not guilty to two charges. Ian | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
Edmondson was not accused of this offence. This has been a week of | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
hearings, partly to decide how future trials are organised. That is | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
not easy. Three big police investigations have produced a | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
series of interconnected charges. There is expected to be a single | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
major trial covering all the phone-hacking allegations here in | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
September. But there will be plenty of legal argument before then. In a | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
case with dozens of barristers and defendants. | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
Now, the Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has said that | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
his government will press on with plans to redevelop a park in | :17:10. | :17:18. | |
Istanbul, despite days of nationwide protests. He said extremists were | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
manipulating the anti-government demonstrations. Jeremy Bowen is in | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
Istanbul tonight. What is your latest assessment of things there? | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
Well, the protest is very much going on at the moment. More people here | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
at the moment than yesterday. I have been walking around the area. Quite | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
a relaxed atmosphere. It feels like a festival. Now, they are saying | :17:42. | :17:51. | |
they are not going to go. Mr Erdogan is a pragmatic politician. He has in | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
the past done big U-turns. He doesn't appear to want to do one on | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
this particular subject. Are the two sides on a collision course? Well, | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
perhaps they are. Unless one side or the other can offer the other | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
something which will allow them to back down. Always a sensible thing | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
in any negotiation. No negotiation is going on at the moment. On the | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
opposition side here, no-one to negotiate with. Turkey is a new | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
territory. Mr Erdogan has never faced a challenge like this before | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
in his ten years in office. So, really, the country waits. | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
Thank you very much. A mass hunger strike by detainees at | :18:36. | :18:43. | |
Guantanamo Bay is now in its fourth month. Of the 166 detainees at the | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
American-run facility for alleged terror suspects, 103 are refusing | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
food. In the past 24 hours, the number being force fed has risen to | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
41. It's been seen as a deep embarrassment for President Obama. | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
His executive order to close the camp within one year was signed | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
four-and-a-half years ago. Jonathan Beale has been inside Guantanamo Bay | :19:05. | :19:14. | |
and he sent this report. The start of another day at one of | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
the world's most infamous jails. Guantanamo is still here after more | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
than a decade. Inside, no sign of any let-up with prisoners locked up | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
for 22 hours a day. The US military describes all those being held as | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
"dangerous men" picked up on the battlefield, even though most have | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
never been charged. Most are also now on hunger strike. This is a | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
standard cell... We were shown around by guards who didn't want to | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
be identified. It is a place where nothing is quite what it seems. | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
Would you shackle somebody if they were going to watch TV? Those are | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
humane restraints. You don't call it shackling? It's a humane restraint. | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
Force-feeding, too, is a term that is avoided. Instead, they call this | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
enteral feeding, inserting a tube through a prisoner's nose and down | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
to their stomach. You call it enteral feeding? Yes.I call it | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
force-feeding. It is force-feeding, isn't it? It is a bit of semantics. | :20:20. | :20:28. | |
Less emotional. It is a medical procedure. We do this to regular | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
patients who need to be fed. Again, you can choose to call it what you | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
like. 41 detainees are being fed this way twice a day, restrained in | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
this chair to ensure they survive. It is now a war of wills, defiant | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
detainees met with an equally firm hand. The old privileges of communal | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
living withdrawn from all but the most compliant. We would lock them | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
down there for two hours so we can secure those yards, check it for | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
safety. They are making noise about something. Life isn't too happy here | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
at the moment? At least with one detainee! That is one detainee?It | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
is. You know who that is?I don't know which one that is. You are | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
welcome to look into the cell here. You sense the tensions are high here | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
behind the razor-wire fences. We have been kept well away from those | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
prisoners who are locked up inside. But we have occasionally heard their | :21:28. | :21:38. | |
:21:38. | :21:48. | ||
strike? Well, their initial issues were to do with changes in camp | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
rules. Their primary issue is that they want to go home. No-one here | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
knows how this hunger strike will end. Or whether President Obama will | :21:58. | :22:07. | |
finally be able to deliver on his promise to close down this prison. | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
Britain is to give �20 million in compensation to thousands of Kenyans | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
who were tortured during the Mau Mau uprising against British colonial | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
rule in the 1950s. Some 5,000 victims will receive payouts. | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
William Hague said the Government sincerely regretted the abuses. He | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
did stop short of giving a formal apology. | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
President Obama is to hold his first summit with China's new leader, Xi | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
Jinping, in California tomorrow. One of the issues he will raise is the | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
level of cyber attacks on the US state and on US companies which | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
originate in China. Theft of intellectual property by Chinese | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
hackers is alleged to be costing American firms hundreds of billions | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
of dollars each year. They are some of America's most | :22:58. | :23:07. | |
powerful businessmen. In Beijing, looking for deals. Behind the | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
smiles, worries. Their companies' secrets are being stolen by Chinese | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
computer hackers. We get intrusions daily. They come from all over the | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
world. Some of those come from China? We believe so, yes.The | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
designs for America's latest Stealth fighter have been taken and China is | :23:28. | :23:35. | |
now building its own Stealth planes. Firms like Coca-Cola have been | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
targeted and Google's secret codes, too. Google traced that intrusion to | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
computers here. The thefts are happening every day and US patience | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
is thin. From our point of view, this is Communist China coming over | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
and stealing our secrets and using them against us. Unfortunately, | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
Chinese behaviour is feeding that image. President Xi Jinping will be | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
told that many of the attacks have been traced to China's own army. A | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
special PLA unit operating from this site in Shanghai. Both sides agree | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
military espionage is to be expected but America says the focus on US | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
companies and technologies must stop. | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
TRANSLATION: What is the fuss? Getting information, especially | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
military information from other countries didn't just begin with the | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
internet. Spying has been around for hundreds of years. It is normal. | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
you go online, you see China has a growing industry around cyber | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
attacks. You can find lessons in hacking, hacking software for sale, | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
even Chinese hackers for hire. This one will steal any information you | :24:52. | :25:00. | |
want and for �20 an hour take any website you like offline and it says | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
the service is 100% guaranteed. China is churning out cheap but | :25:07. | :25:15. | |
skilled Praguers and some aren't launching -- programmers and some | :25:15. | :25:24. | |
aren't launching attacks but helping stop them. Mostly, it is for money. | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
The largest amount I ever saw is like 100 million. So like �10 | :25:30. | :25:37. | |
million? Yes.America is warning cyber theft is now harming US | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
companies and jobs, damaging American competitiveness and | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
innovation. If it gets worse, the issue could poison relations with | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
China. Let's have more on the main story, | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
the news that the Duke of Edinburgh has been admitted to hospital for up | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
to two weeks for an exploratory operation. Nicholas Witchell is at | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
the London Clinic for us. Despite the shock of this news, it is worth | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
stressing that Buckingham Palace has been saying it was not an emergency | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
admission? Yes. That is something that they are stressing. An | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
exploratory operation, that is the phrase used by the Palace. We | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
presume tomorrow, under general anaesthetic, an exploratory | :26:26. | :26:27. | |
operation after abdominal investigations, presumably giving | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
rise to something that the doctors feel need to be explored further. An | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
exploratory operation under general anaesthetic on someone who will be | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
92 in four days' time. He was, we are told, in good spirits when he | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
came in here earlier this evening and that is how he looked at the | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
garden party this afternoon. The Queen will be continuing with her | :26:49. | :26:55. |
