Good afternoon. Human rights investigators in Libya say | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
documents they have uncovered in Tripoli show close co-operation | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
between MI6 and the CIA and the Gaddafi regime. The group at Human | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Rights Watch says the correspondence shows that British | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
intelligence officers gave the regime information about Libyan | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
dissidents in this country. The Foreign Office says it does not | :00:39. | :00:48. | |
comment on intelligence matters. We have not been able to | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
independently verified these documents. They seem to be genuine. | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
They seem to be pretty embarrassing for the CIA and MI6. Both agencies | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
appear to have had a cosy relationship with the Gaddafi | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
regime, to the point where British intelligence even wrote a draft | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
speech for Colonel Gaddafi. Gaddafi's regime was believed to | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
torture people. And yet it seems that Western intelligence still | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
sent terror suspects to Tripoli for interrogation. The secret documents | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
found here seem to show close links between the CIA and MI6 and curl | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
Gaddafi's intelligence service, with several suspects being put in | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
secret on two planes to Libya, so- called Black flights. We stumbled | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
across a room which contained the files of correspondence between the | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
Libyan external security, headed by Colonel Gaddafi's right-hand man, | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
Moussa Koussa, and the CIA, MI6, French intelligence and other | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
Western intelligence agencies. is alleged that the CIA and MI6 co- | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
operated -- corroborated on operated -- corroborated on | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
intelligence as long ago as 2002 with Colonel Gaddafi. It is claimed | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
that Western intelligence agencies even offered advice to corral | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
even offered advice to corral Gaddafi. There is a draft, the CIA | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
and MI6 drafted a speech that Colonel Gaddafi gave. It is alleged | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
that British and intelligence -- British and American intelligence | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
agencies had an unhealthily close relationship with Moussa Koussa, a | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
man said to have much blood on his hands, who defected to Britain | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
several months ago. The documents me -- the documents we found start | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
off saying dear Moussa Koussa, thank you for the oranges to send | :02:37. | :02:45. | |
us. That kind of cosy relationships with the intelligence services. He | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
was known for torturing and disappearing people. There are | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
thousands more or documents here yet to be studied and yet to give | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
up their secrets to the world. In response to the discovery of | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
these documents, the CIA in Washington has said that nobody | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
should be surprised that they work with foreign governments to protect | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
American citizens. In London, when Hague has said that these documents | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
relate to the last Labour Government's time in office and he | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
has no knowledge of what went on behind the scenes then. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
Here, police have arrested a man in connection with the murder of a 77- | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
year-old woman in Hexham. Graeme Jarman was arrested at a library in | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
North Yorkshire. In nationwide appeal had been made to track him | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
down after he went missing from his home in Durham on all the 17th. -- | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
17th August. RBS has said it will defend itself | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
vigorously against legal action brought by the American government | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
for the losses suffered on mortgage-based investments which | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
helped bring about the global financial crash. RBS, Barclays and | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
HSBC are among 17 banks being sued by the US Federal Housing Finance | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
Agency. Joe Lynam. They were some of the seminal | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
images of the financial crisis, when 5 million American households | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
lost their homes in 2008 and 2009. Many have long believed that the | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
banks had offered mortgages to people they had known could ill- | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
afford to pay them. The Government is suing 17 of the world's largest | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
banks, including RBS, Barclays and HSBC. The American government | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
believe that these banks mis-sold specialised products worth billions | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
of dollars and contributed to the financial crisis. Of the three | :04:39. | :04:49. | |
:04:49. | :04:52. | ||
British banks being sued, only RBS This is quite a significant | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
lawsuits because regardless of ability or otherwise of these | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
allegations, many of these big banks are likely to end up paying | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
billions of dollars in compensation to the US government. It will be a | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
costly settlement at best. It comes at a difficult time for the banking | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
industry, which has seen profits declining and has been buffeted by | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
the global economic problems. banks are bracing themselves for | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
the imminent publication of the vicar's banking report which may | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
force them to make dramatic changes to how they are run in Britain. | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
Since the financial crisis, Britain's banks have seen a lot of | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
change. They are now paying a substantial bank levy and the money | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
they pay their staff is monitored closely, and they could soon be | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
forced to separate their investment banking activities from their | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
retail banking activities. As in a lawsuit from the United States and | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
that could cripple banks already trying to find their feet. -- and | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
in a lawsuit. The Government has offered to hold | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
talks with opponents to its planning reforms following | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
criticism from the Campaign for Rural England. But Planning | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
Minister has denied he is considering a U-turn over the | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
controversial proposals to change the law in order to encourage more | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
house building. The Government has written to all MPs telling them | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
that health ministers will be voting against a proposal to change | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
the way that advice is given to women in England to why seeking an | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
abortion. The Conservative backbencher Nadine Dorries has | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
tabled an amendment to the Government's health bill stating | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
that abortion advice should not be given by organisations but also | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
carry out terminations. -- that also. | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
Police say they still have hundreds of people to interview about in | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
Stockport. Charges have been dropped against Rebecca Leighton, | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
in Mercer who spent six weeks in custody in connection with the case. | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
-- a nurse. Nick Ravenscroft is at a hospital. What is the latest? | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
Rebecca Leighton has described the weeks she spent in prison as a | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
living hell. The charges against her had been dropped through lack | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
of evidence of what prosecutors have made it clear that if new | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
evidence emerged, proceedings could be begun again. Her friends that I | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
have spoken to say that she will struggle to return to normal life. | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
Far from normal life that a hospital here. Two months on, from | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
the first suspicious deaths, police are looking at a total of 40 | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
patients who could have been affected by contaminated saline. | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
Seven of those have died. Security is tight and the patients and | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
families are uneasy. I spoke to one woman earlier and she put it to me, | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
"Potentially we're talking about a killer being at large. | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
" thank you very much. In football, Scotland's hopes of qualifying for | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
Euro 2012 have been dented with a 2-2 draw with the Czech Republic at | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
Hampden Park. Kenny Miller put Scotland ahead before half-time | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
with his 15th goal for his country but the Czech Republic pulled one | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
back. Darren Fletcher sent Scotland on the way to an important when, | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
but in the last minute, the Czech Republic were awarded a penalty and | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
levelled the score. Craig Levein's side will be frustrated after they | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
were denied a penalty in injury time. Their next game is against | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
Lithuania on Tuesday. The star of athletics, Usain Bolt | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
returns to the track today. He was determined to make up for his | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
disqualification in the 100 metres. He ran the 4th fastest time in | :08:28. | :08:37. | |
history to retain his world 200 metre title. | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
Changing South Korea's sporting customs will take more than a week | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
of world-class athletics. These children in Daegu are practising | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
tae kwon do, the national sport. Next door, the media have been | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
trying to catch a glimpse of a one man who is certain to leave his | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
mark on this country. Usain Bolt's false start in the 100 metres final | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
last Sunday has made him bigger news than ever. Surely like being | :09:02. | :09:12. | |
could not strike twice? -- like men. -- lightning. Play it safe, Usain | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
Bolt was the slowest out of the box Bolt was the slowest out of the box | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
but he soon hit the front. From then on, the result was not in | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
doubt. The Jamaican produced his third fastest 200 metres ever, to | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
retain his title and to banish retain his title and to banish | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
memories of last weekend's problems on the starting line. All I had to | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
do was relax and listen for the gun. I listened as much as possible. | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
centre of attention again. Usain Bolt is the Pied Piper of track and | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
field. After this victory, Daegu became at the stage for his one-man | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
show. There was no sense of disappointment or anti-climax for | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
the crowd here tonight. Usain Bolt resume normal service. What they | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
have witnessed is not just an athlete capable of running | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
extraordinarily fast, but a showman, whose charisma is only comparable | :10:09. | :10:15. |
