LineFromTo

four-year-old Daniel Pelka are sentenced to life in prison for what

:00:06.:00:12.

the judge calls their incomprehensible brutality.

:00:12.:00:14.

Magdelena Luczak and Mariusz Krezolek beat, starved and

:00:14.:00:20.

terrorised Daniel over several months. By the time he died, he was

:00:20.:00:23.

so emaciated he was compared to a concentration camp victim. His

:00:23.:00:33.
:00:33.:00:36.

father in Poland voices his anger. TRANSLATION: I was satisfied with

:00:36.:00:40.

the sentence but in my heart and soul I would like them to experience

:00:40.:00:43.

the same as my son. We'll be looking at whether yet

:00:43.:00:46.

another Serious Case Review into the death of a child will stop it

:00:46.:00:54.

happening again. Also tonight: these people have the

:00:54.:00:57.

right to live in this country. Anger at immigration spot checks

:00:57.:01:00.

prompts an investigation into government policy by the equality

:01:00.:01:06.

watchdog. The British Embassy in Yemen is to

:01:06.:01:13.

close this weekend because of security concerns.

:01:13.:01:15.

In Zimbabwe's elections, Robert Mugabe claims victory for his party

:01:16.:01:17.

but Morgan Tsvangirai's opposition claims massive vote rigging.

:01:42.:01:53.

Good evening. The mother and stepfather of

:01:53.:01:56.

four-year-old Daniel Pelka have been sentenced to life for his murder and

:01:56.:02:01.

told they must each serve a minimum of 30 years in prison. Daniel died

:02:01.:02:04.

after suffering months of abuse at the hands of Magdelena Luczak and

:02:04.:02:09.

her partner Mariusz Krezolek at their home in Coventry. The judge

:02:09.:02:14.

said the scale of Daniel's suffering was "truly horrific" . Here's Sian

:02:14.:02:24.
:02:24.:02:25.

Lloyd. Tonight, the couple who carried out

:02:25.:02:29.

acts of unimaginable cruelty are beginning life sentences behind bars

:02:29.:02:35.

for a murder that was shocking and deeply disturbing. Four-year-olds

:02:35.:02:40.

Daniel Pelka was killed by a fatal blow after being beaten and starved

:02:40.:02:46.

for months. His mother, Magdelena Luczak, and stepfather, Mariusz

:02:46.:02:51.

Krezolek, will serve at least 30 years in prison, some of the longest

:02:51.:02:56.

sentences that can be imposed, to reflect the evil of their crime. The

:02:56.:03:00.

couple looked on in passively as the judge told them, he was subjected I

:03:00.:03:07.

both of you to deliberate, escalating and incomprehensible

:03:07.:03:12.

brutality. For reasons which are unfathomable, Daniel became a target

:03:12.:03:18.

for derision, abuse and systematic cruelty. The scale of his suffering

:03:18.:03:24.

was truly horrific. We hope that the sentence today

:03:24.:03:28.

brings closure to this case for the family of Daniel, both in this

:03:28.:03:35.

country and in Poland. This is Daniel on his last day at

:03:35.:03:41.

school, the last time he was seen alive. He was terrified and

:03:41.:03:44.

starving. His mother bribed him not to tell teachers what was happening

:03:44.:03:50.

with the promise of a chocolate bar. But it is clear there were many

:03:50.:03:54.

opportunities to save him, opportunities that were missed.

:03:54.:03:57.

Teachers, social workers, the police and doctors have questions to

:03:57.:04:03.

answer. The Serious Case Review carried out by Coventry safeguarding

:04:04.:04:10.

children board will report in six weeks. There were lots of different

:04:10.:04:15.

indications that things were not well with him, but these did not go

:04:15.:04:20.

further, or as far as they should have done, in the view of the board

:04:20.:04:25.

at that time. And that is obviously what we are looking at, to try and

:04:25.:04:28.

understand what it was about behaviours and systems in this

:04:28.:04:34.

particular case that did not work as well as they should. There has been

:04:34.:04:39.

a succession of terrible child abuse cases. In each of these cases there

:04:39.:04:45.

were serious questions about why agencies were not robust enough.

:04:45.:04:49.

This is about the needs of the Child leading your practice. And if you

:04:49.:04:54.

have to blow the whistle and be unpopular, and difficult as a

:04:54.:04:59.

professional, that is your role on behalf of the child. No child can

:05:00.:05:05.

defend their own rights. Adults have to do it. People here in Coventry

:05:05.:05:08.

are shocked and ashamed at what happened to Daniel Pelka in their

:05:08.:05:13.

city. In this neighbourhood, they knew Mariusz Krezolek had a temper,

:05:13.:05:18.

but they had no idea he and Magdelena Luczak could ease so

:05:18.:05:25.

cruel. They showed no remorse jeering the nine week trial. Why

:05:25.:05:30.

they tormented and murdered Daniel may never be known. -- they showed

:05:30.:05:36.

no remorse jewel ring the trial. In Poland, the father of Daniel

:05:36.:05:39.

Pelka has reacted with anger at the abuse of his son, but Daniel's

:05:39.:05:41.

grandmother has blamed the British authorities for not intervening

:05:41.:05:44.

earlier to stop her daughter from killing him. From Poland, Steven

:05:44.:05:54.
:05:54.:05:54.

Evans reports. In his flat in Poland, Daniel

:05:54.:05:57.

Pelka's father remembers his murdered son in the only Dick Cheney

:05:57.:06:07.
:06:07.:06:08.

has. I know who killed, and you know who killed. He expressed

:06:09.:06:11.

satisfaction at the long jail sentences imposed on the couple who

:06:11.:06:19.

killed his son. He told me that deep in his heart he wanted them to

:06:19.:06:28.

experience the same pain that his child experienced. This is the town

:06:28.:06:36.

where the mother who murdered the sun came from all stop it was once a

:06:36.:06:43.

big textile city that went into decline. Daniel's mother left her

:06:43.:06:48.

rundown home in Poland barely in her 20s. She must have hoped that

:06:48.:06:57.

Britain would offer a better life. Daniel's grandmother finds it hard

:06:57.:07:02.

to grasp what has happened. She is ashamed to show her face. She feels

:07:02.:07:09.

she has lost a grandson, and is now a daughter. She told me that her

:07:09.:07:13.

daughter had come under the spell of a new partner, but she said Britain

:07:13.:07:18.

was also to blame. How, she said, could the authorities not see what

:07:18.:07:26.

was going on? Daniel's father speaks some English from his time in

:07:26.:07:36.
:07:36.:07:39.

Coventry. I am satisfied when I know about what is said in court today.

:07:39.:07:48.

She and he get 30 years, and I'm very happy. The family of this

:07:48.:07:52.

little boy wondering how such an innocent child could be murdered so

:07:52.:07:57.

callously by those who should have loved him.

:07:58.:08:00.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission says it's investigating

:08:00.:08:02.

whether recent immigration checks carried out at London Tube stations

:08:02.:08:08.

and railway stations amount to unlawful discrimination. The move

:08:08.:08:10.

follows complaints that people were targeted solely because of the

:08:10.:08:14.

colour of their skin. But the government has strongly rejected the

:08:14.:08:24.
:08:24.:08:26.

suggestion that the checks are based on race. June Kelly reports.

:08:26.:08:30.

The temperature is rising in the immigration debate. This was the

:08:30.:08:35.

scene outside a shopping centre in Southall, west London, where there

:08:35.:08:39.

was an operation to find illegal immigrants. And this is the

:08:39.:08:42.

government's message to those who are in the UK but should not be. The

:08:42.:08:47.

reaction has been mixed, but the vans have propelled immigration once

:08:47.:08:57.

again to the top of the political agenda. Stay where you are.

:08:57.:09:01.

Yesterday, there were raids across the country targeting suspected

:09:01.:09:04.

illegal immigrant. It is an issue on which politicians of all parties

:09:04.:09:11.

want to appear tough. When it comes to official figures, last year there

:09:11.:09:13.

were 14,000 enforcement operations involving immigration staff,

:09:14.:09:18.

resulting in 9000 arrests. Those figures include stopping people at

:09:18.:09:23.

places like tube stations, which happened at this station this week.

:09:23.:09:27.

As they tried to root out people here illegally, it is claimed

:09:27.:09:31.

officials were focused on those from ethnic minorities. They were

:09:31.:09:35.

searching a lot of people for IDE, but mostly Asian guys. I thought

:09:35.:09:39.

that was a bit prejudiced as there are a lot of white people around

:09:39.:09:45.

this area. Anyone who did not look white they were apparently stopping.

:09:45.:09:50.

Basically they were doing racist profiling. The rules state that

:09:50.:09:55.

immigration operations must be based on intelligence. Officials are

:09:55.:09:57.

instructed they must have reasonable suspicion that someone could be an

:09:57.:10:01.

illegal immigrant before they stop them. They are told to monitor

:10:01.:10:06.

behaviour and decide if people are acting suspiciously. Now, the

:10:06.:10:09.

Equality and Human Rights Commission says it is looking at whether such

:10:09.:10:14.

street operations, as they are called, are actually lawful.

:10:14.:10:19.

Ministers are mounting a defence. They are not about the colour of

:10:19.:10:21.

someone's skin, not about their ethnicity. They are about whether

:10:21.:10:26.

they have leave to be here. We welcome migrants coming here to work

:10:26.:10:30.

or study. We have many people who have great skills to bring to the

:10:30.:10:35.

country. We just do not want people who come here to break the law.

:10:35.:10:39.

Ranged against the government, one of Labour's newest peers, Doreen

:10:39.:10:45.

Lawrence. Her son was murdered in a racist attack, and she says she

:10:45.:10:49.

intends to take up the issue. Some have said the immigration debate is

:10:49.:10:53.

toxic. With less than two years to the election, politicians know that

:10:53.:10:57.

immigration is one of the key issues for voters and they are well aware

:10:57.:11:03.

that many support a rigorous approach.

:11:03.:11:08.

The British Embassy in Yemen is to close this Sunday and Monday because

:11:08.:11:11.

of security concerns. Yesterday, Washington announced it would close

:11:11.:11:14.

some US embassies on Sunday as April caution against an unspecified

:11:14.:11:21.

Al-Qaeda threat, and it has now issued a worldwide travel alert. Our

:11:21.:11:27.

security correspondent is here. is clear there is concern about an

:11:27.:11:30.

Al-Qaeda attack in coming days, particularly fears focused around

:11:30.:11:34.

the Gulf and perhaps Yemen. Yesterday, the US said it was asking

:11:34.:11:39.

a number of embassies to close across a swathe of North at the car,

:11:39.:11:44.

the Middle East, even south Asia, 21 embassies and consulates in all. --

:11:44.:11:49.

north Africa. Today, it issued travel advice to citizens in the

:11:49.:11:52.

Middle East and North Africa warning of the potential of an Al-Qaeda

:11:52.:11:57.

attack in August, and now the UK has asked its embassy in Yemen to close

:11:57.:12:01.

on Sunday and Monday, and also asked embassies in other countries in the

:12:01.:12:06.

Gulf to increase their vigilance. What lies behind this it appears is

:12:06.:12:11.

intelligence of a possible threat from Al-Qaeda, an attack on the

:12:11.:12:14.

final stages, perhaps emanating from Al-Qaeda in the Arabian peninsular,

:12:14.:12:20.

based in Yemen. It is clear there is real intelligence about this, but

:12:20.:12:24.

perhaps not specific intelligence about a potential target, hence why

:12:24.:12:29.

the US has issued such a blanket warning to embassies in a region

:12:29.:12:33.

across the Middle East and North Africa. Real concern, but not

:12:33.:12:35.

necessarily clear what the target might be.

:12:35.:12:38.

The Royal Bank of Scotland has said its incoming chief executive, Ross

:12:38.:12:41.

McEwan, won't receive any bonuses until 2017 at the earliest. He'll be

:12:41.:12:44.

paid �1 million a year when he takes over in October, nearly 20% less

:12:44.:12:48.

than his predecessor. Today, RBS announced pre-tax profits of �1.4

:12:48.:12:58.
:12:58.:12:59.

billion for the first six months of the year. Robert Peston reports.

:13:00.:13:05.

Royal Bank of Scotland, the gu ant broken bank being put back together,

:13:05.:13:10.

not yet completed. -- giant. To finish the job comes a lanky New

:13:10.:13:15.

Zealander. Ross McEwan to arrived last year to mend RBS's retail

:13:15.:13:18.

operations and now has to do the whole thing. His last big job was at

:13:18.:13:22.

this Australian bank. . We are the largest bank and second-largest

:13:22.:13:32.
:13:32.:13:33.

company in Australia. A former RBS company in Australia. A former RBS

:13:33.:13:35.

boss has this advice for him. would hope the real challenge for

:13:35.:13:39.

him is to establish trust within the bank, within the staff and in

:13:39.:13:44.

particular, within the customers and that general negativity associated

:13:44.:13:49.

with the word "bank" and probably, regrettably, with RBS, that is the

:13:49.:13:57.

issue he must address. Judging by the stock market's reaction to the

:13:57.:14:03.

results, Ross McEwan has work to do. The #r6789 BS shares fell.

:14:03.:14:10.

-- RBS. Profits before tax this year was �1. 4 billion. Which looks good

:14:10.:14:17.

compared to last year's losses but that was flattened by the account

:14:17.:14:24.

ing. True peformance is better exposed by operating profits, �1. 7

:14:25.:14:28.

billion, up only a bit from last year.

:14:28.:14:31.

A familiar branch of Royal Bank of Scotland, which, to a large extent

:14:31.:14:36.

is how the Chancellor, who controls our 81% stake in the bank, sees the

:14:36.:14:44.

future of RBS. Rather than the more esoteric and complicated aspects of

:14:45.:14:50.

investment banking. George Osborne believes that Ross McEwan will re

:14:50.:14:53.

focus the bank to make it more British, serving families and

:14:53.:14:57.

companies, a million miles away from where it was at the time of the

:14:57.:15:02.

crash when RBS was, for a spell, the biggest bank in the world. This is

:15:02.:15:06.

an internal RBS clip of the new boss. There is a major

:15:06.:15:09.

responsibility for me to guide this organisation to focus very strongly

:15:09.:15:14.

back on our customers. McEwan may have caught the public mood by

:15:14.:15:20.

saying he will not pocket any bonuses until 207 and will make do,

:15:20.:15:28.

until then on his �1 million a year salary. -- 2017. Will packs tiers be

:15:28.:15:35.

able to wave GB to ownership and get its money back? -- will tax payers?

:15:35.:15:39.

It depends whether this New Zealand banker is up to the job. The party

:15:39.:15:42.

of Zimbabwe's veteran President, Robert Mugabe, looks set for a

:15:42.:15:45.

resounding strike in the country's elections. Results in the

:15:45.:15:49.

Presidential poll have yet to be announced but ZANU-PF has won

:15:49.:15:53.

two-thirds of the can untri's parliamentary seats. Zimbabwe's

:15:53.:15:59.

Electoral Commission described the process as free and peaceful. The

:15:59.:16:05.

monitors said they had some concerns but concluded it was credible.

:16:05.:16:11.

Morgan Tsvangirai has dismissed the process as a huge farce.

:16:11.:16:15.

It was business as usual on the streets of Harare today, but for the

:16:15.:16:20.

capital and the country, as a whole, there is uneasiness, too. Final

:16:20.:16:25.

results from the election aren't in yet but Robert Mugabe's ZANU-PF

:16:25.:16:30.

party looks to have won by a large margin. African observer missions

:16:30.:16:35.

have given their cautious approval for the poll. . The fact that some

:16:35.:16:38.

people were turned around from the voting booths, whether that affects

:16:38.:16:45.

the overall election, whether it affects the will of the people

:16:45.:16:47.

expressing their vote, that's something that needs to be seen.

:16:48.:16:52.

is in the rural heartland of this country that the movement for

:16:52.:16:55.

democratic change alleged the rigging started. With village elders

:16:55.:17:01.

being used to intimidate villagers into voting for ZANU-PF. And this,

:17:01.:17:04.

too, is at the very heart of their can claims, the voting register

:17:04.:17:09.

which the MDC claims has been manipulated and have been trying to

:17:09.:17:13.

obtain for months, it was finally handed over in hard coppic, not

:17:13.:17:19.

electronic, on the day of the elections. -- hard copy. One MDC

:17:19.:17:24.

candidate showed me evidence of what he said were irregularities. .

:17:24.:17:27.

were supposed to handover to observers but they were nowhere to

:17:27.:17:32.

be seen. These have never been collected? Never, never, not at all.

:17:32.:17:36.

As the week draws to a close, there's concern here, on the streets

:17:36.:17:40.

of Harare, about whether or not these elections were free and fair.

:17:40.:17:46.

I spoke to a number of people, some who were able to vote. Others were

:17:46.:17:49.

simply turned away from polling stations because their names were

:17:49.:17:55.

not on the voters' roll. I went to vote but I couldn't find my name. My

:17:55.:18:01.

name was not there. Were you able to vote? Yes:They couldn't find my

:18:01.:18:05.

name. As a result, were you turned away at the polling station? Yes, I

:18:05.:18:13.

was. We put these allegation s to ZANU-PF. This election has been

:18:13.:18:16.

endorsed as an election which has been free and peaceful and credible.

:18:17.:18:20.

I don't understand where these allegations are coming from. Despite

:18:20.:18:26.

the opposition claims, ZANU-PF and its veteran leader, look set to

:18:26.:18:28.

emerge from another election with more power than they've had in

:18:28.:18:37.

years. The energy company, Caudrilla has

:18:37.:18:40.

begun test drilling for oil at a site in West Sussex after nine days

:18:40.:18:44.

of protests. Environment campaigners fear it could be the first step

:18:44.:18:48.

towards fracking, an extraction process which has been linked to

:18:48.:18:52.

minor earthquakes. Today two demonstrators were arrested after

:18:52.:18:57.

scuffles with police. From Balcombe John Moylan reports. It's not Texas,

:18:57.:19:00.

it's not even America. This is the leafy Tory stronghold of West

:19:00.:19:05.

Sussex. After several days of delays and more than 30 arrests, this

:19:05.:19:10.

morning, drilling for oil finally began. We do want to drill an ex

:19:10.:19:16.

mrorgs well. There has been one drilled on the same site in 1986. It

:19:16.:19:22.

didn't cause any issues I am aware of. There have been 50 other wells

:19:22.:19:27.

in Sussex which haven't caused any issues. We are not en dangerering

:19:27.:19:30.

anybody's health and safety. Local people and environmentalists don't

:19:30.:19:33.

buy that. This woman was son of several campaigners removed by

:19:33.:19:41.

police, as they cleared a path for vehicles and from the site. For than

:19:41.:19:46.

a week there have been demonstrations against plans some

:19:46.:19:49.

clear could cause earthquakes and pollute the water supply. They are

:19:50.:19:52.

saying there is no evidence of any harm or water contamination. It is

:19:52.:19:57.

not true. We are powerless to stop T we have been down all the democratic

:19:57.:20:01.

routes. None has worked. Now we are only left with one option, direct

:20:01.:20:06.

action. This is what they are worried B Caudrilla plans to drill

:20:06.:20:13.

down 3,000 feet. If they find oil, they may seek to high draw ically

:20:13.:20:21.

fracture the well. That involves injecting water particles and sand

:20:21.:20:24.

under pressure into the soil to flush it back up to the surface. It

:20:24.:20:28.

is hard to believe but the south of England are rich in oil and goes.

:20:28.:20:32.

There are numerous sites like this one, pumping oil. Most go unnoticed.

:20:32.:20:36.

Fracking made the headlines in the north of England but new Government

:20:36.:20:40.

tax breaks could encourage more companies to frack further south,

:20:40.:20:45.

resulting in many more local battles. I think it is inevitable we

:20:45.:20:49.

will see further protests. I think it is due to people's lack of

:20:49.:20:53.

familiarity with the process. The fact that Caudrilla are pioneers in

:20:53.:20:55.

the sector, particularly the UK. People need to remember that the

:20:55.:21:03.

process as a whole gifss them a voice. -- gives them. But few here

:21:03.:21:07.

believe they are being listened to. If Caudrilla decides to frack here,

:21:07.:21:11.

it won't happen until well into next year. The battle of Balcombe is far

:21:11.:21:15.

from over. And this, if you can see it, is

really what it is all about. This is oil that was pulled out of the

:21:18.:21:23.

ground at a site not far from here in West Sussex. Caudrilla will argue

:21:23.:21:29.

we need to use techniques like fracking to get more of this out of

:21:29.:21:34.

the ground to meet our energy needs. The question being played out here

:21:34.:21:39.

in Balcombe, in microcosm is - do we as a society want that to happen? As

:21:39.:21:42.

prices rise and incomes are squeezed, it's becoming increasingly

:21:42.:21:46.

difficult for most people to make ends meet, according to a major new

:21:46.:21:50.

report. It found that over half of adults in the UK are struggling to

:21:50.:21:54.

pay their bills. That compares to seven years ago,

:21:54.:21:58.

before the banking crash, when 35% said they found it hard to keep up

:21:58.:22:02.

payments. There are signs that the economic is

:22:02.:22:07.

on the mend but with prices high, and money still tight, most people

:22:07.:22:11.

say they're struggling to cope and the pressure is building on streets

:22:11.:22:15.

across the UK. Families are feeling the heat and so

:22:15.:22:18.

are businesses which serve them, like this chip shop in Crewe, which

:22:18.:22:23.

is offering more affordable fish strips, also a potato fritter in a

:22:23.:22:29.

bap for just 30p because customers have tire actually no cash by the

:22:29.:22:36.

end of the month. The money in your till goes from �10 and �20 down to

:22:36.:22:41.

pound coins and �5 notes. You see it on a monthly basis. Many more people

:22:41.:22:45.

across the UK are running out of money finding it hard it make ends

:22:45.:22:51.

meet. Back in 2006, before the financial crisis, 35% of adults said

:22:51.:22:54.

they were struggling to keep up with their bills and their credit

:22:54.:23:00.

commitments. Now it's 52% when asked the same question, who say they are

:23:00.:23:04.

struggling. In some parts of the UK, it's even worse than that. The

:23:04.:23:09.

English region, where it is highest is the north-west. At 60%. But

:23:09.:23:13.

Northern Ireland is even higher than that, with 66% saying they're

:23:13.:23:16.

struggling and even in the West Midlands, which has the lowest

:23:16.:23:21.

figure, 44% are still under severe financial pressure. London, Wales,

:23:21.:23:26.

Scotland are all about average. The research indicates that hundreds of

:23:26.:23:29.

thousands, like Rachael, a bar manager in Crewe are struggling,

:23:29.:23:33.

even though they aren't on low incomes. She and her partner make

:23:34.:23:39.

nearly �40,000 between them but can't afford childcare, so work

:23:39.:23:43.

opposite shifts. All we do is work, go home, work, go home, there is

:23:43.:23:48.

nothing else other than working. In itself, it is a lovely thing to do,

:23:48.:23:52.

but it is all we do. Rachael is hoping things will get better but it

:23:52.:23:57.

is likely to take time. Earnings have not kept up in line with

:23:57.:24:01.

inflation. That makes us all feel worse off. Over the next few years,

:24:01.:24:05.

those on benefits are also going to feel a particular additional

:24:05.:24:09.

squeeze, as cuts are introduced. People do find ways to manage. There

:24:09.:24:12.

was news today that bankruptcy are falling but there is still a squeeze

:24:12.:24:15.

on family budgets throughout the on family budgets throughout the

:24:15.:24:20.

country. In cricket, Australia have been

:24:20.:24:23.

fighting back on the second day of the Second Test in Manchester

:24:23.:24:31.

following a brilliant performance from their captain, Michael Clarke.

:24:31.:24:34.

Good morning, welcome to sunny Manchester. The Manchester morning

:24:34.:24:39.

came with a weather-warning. Forecasts for Australia, rawedant.

:24:39.:24:43.

Another great day. At the crease, Michael Clarke,

:24:43.:24:46.

Australia's captain. He had already had a century. Now he could make

:24:46.:24:49.

England suffer. Australia had been waiting for this. England were out

:24:49.:24:55.

of ideas. Steve Smith got himself out. He still took some catching,

:24:55.:25:03.

though. Time at last to welcome a new batsman to the crease. Listen.

:25:03.:25:08.

BOOS David Warner, everyone's favourite villain. The moon tried to

:25:08.:25:14.

punch England's Joe Root in a pub. The crowd had not forgotten. A

:25:14.:25:21.

precious review was wasted, when clearly out. Clarke, all class, had

:25:21.:25:26.

made 187 when England got rid of him. So Clarke gone but England's

:25:26.:25:32.

rose still wilting. Australia were still batting by tea. They were past

:25:32.:25:38.

500. It got worse when Australia decided to bowl. Joe Root gone.

:25:38.:25:42.

Bresnan came out, didn't survive and didn't review his wicket. Australia

:25:42.:25:46.

were an inch away from running out Alastair Cook. They have the victory

:25:46.:25:52.

scent again. It may require rain to distract them.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have formally registered the birth

:25:54.:25:59.

of their son, Prince George. The registrar for Westminster City

Council travelled to Kensington Palace for the signatures on the

birth certificate and in the section where the parents have to put their

With British and other NATO combat troops due to leave Afghanistan by

the end of next year, Afghanistan is boosting its own military forces,

:26:18.:26:23.

including building a new Air Force virtually from scratch. In an

:26:23.:26:26.

unexpected breakthrough for women's right, among the recruits is the

:26:26.:26:32.

first woman in the country to qualify as an airline pilot. She's

dreamt of this moment since childhood. Today, Nilofer Rahmani is

:26:35.:26:43.

ready to take to the skies. Afghanistan's first female aeroplane

:26:43.:26:48.

pilot is blazing a trail for the women of her country but reaching

:26:48.:26:54.

these heady heights hasn't been easy. It was difficult because you

:26:54.:27:00.

know the female situation, and the roles for women here. I just want to

:27:00.:27:06.

change the culture or the old minds that we can do it. I want to do it.

She's joining a military operation which is at a crucial stage, with

NATO combat troops due to leave by the end of last year. The of a

Afghan s are taking the lead role in fighting insurgents. Women have

played a part in Afghan security forces for many years but still make

:27:27.:27:34.

up less than 1 # % of the total. -- 1%. When she became her country's

:27:35.:27:39.

first helicopter pilot, this woman had to battle overwhelming

:27:39.:27:44.

prejudice. Now she's calling on women to join up. TRANSLATION:

:27:44.:27:48.

Afghanistan women, the future of this country is in your hands. We

:27:48.:27:54.

have to work shoulder-to-shoulder to build this country. The command ers

:27:54.:28:02.

claim their contribution is valued. We are very proud of them. Afghan

:28:03.:28:06.

women are showing what Afghan men can do for their country. Women in

:28:07.:28:11.

this country are still largely treated as second class citizens. A

:28:11.:28:13.

recent United Nations report described their conditions as among

:28:13.:28:18.

the wost in the world. Here in Kabul -- cost. Here in Kabul it's

:28:22.:28:26.

Nilofer Rahmani achievement even more remarkable. She's not taking

more remarkable. She's not taking anything for granted. If the

situation changes, everybody who knows me, they'll make my situation

or my life tough and it will be really tough for me.
