Rupert Murdoch has spoken of his "total commitment" to continue | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
publishing The Sun newspaper following the arrest of another | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
five of its journalists by detectives investigating | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
allegations of corrupt payments to the police. Among those detained | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
were the paper's deputy editor and its chief reporter. And for the | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
first time in the investigation, a member of the armed forces and a | :01:16. | :01:26. | |
:01:26. | :01:28. | ||
civil servant have been arrested. In one fell swoop the police | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
arrested five of the most senior journalists at The Sun newspaper. | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
Among them with John Kay, a Fleet Street legend who worked at the sun | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
for nearly 40 years. And deputy editor, Geoff Webster, chief | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
foreign correspondent, Nick Parker and another reporter, John Sturgis. | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
The fifth was John Edwards, seen here giving evidence at the Leveson | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
Inquiry into press standards last month. They were arrested by | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
detectives investigating allegations of illegal payments to | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
the police. As last year, when the former Sun | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
and News of the World editor, Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson, | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
and former Downing Street head of communications. A fortnight ago, | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
four other Sun journalists were detained as part of the same | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
Operation Elveden. The Sun's editor, Dominic Mohan, | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
had no comment for the cameras, but released a statement saying, "I am | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
as shocked as anyone by today's arrests, but I am determined to | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
lead The Sun through through these difficult times. Our focus is | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
putting out Monday's newspaper." Last month, he told the Leveson | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
Inquiry how practises at his newspaper changed in the 16 years | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
he worked there. There has been great strides in | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
privacy law and other considerations like the Bribery Act. | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
I always felt the newspaper is a living, breathing organism that | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
evolves and actually I think that I've seen mistakes made over the | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
years and I have learned from those mistakes. | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
For months, detectives have been trawling through 300 million News | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
Corporation e-mails. They were They were acting today today on | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
information from the company's management udepartment. | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
There has been a widening of the police investigation. | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
This is the biggest crisis The Sun faced since Rupert Murdoch took it | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
over and re-launched it in 1969. You have never seen a situation | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
like this before, a daily newspaper, ten journalists now arrested and | :03:39. | :03:48. | |
senior journalists aarrested. -- arrested. | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
The police are looking at other public bodies. Journalists at The | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
Sun are furious and feel betrayed. Rupert Murdoch has assured its | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
staff it will not close and like its sister paper, the -- unlike its | :04:02. | :04:12. | |
:04:12. | :04:14. | ||
sister newspaper, the News of the World. | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Matt Prodger is at News International's headquarters in | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
Wapping. What sense are you getting that the journalists are feeling? | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
feeling of anger. That anger is not only directed at the police | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
investigation, but the management Standards Committee which has been | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
helping the police with their investigations. One member of staff | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
that I spoke to this evening said that there was a feeling among Sun | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
journalists that they were being hung out to dry and some of the | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
practises being investigated by the police were industry wide. Now, of | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
the eight people who were arrested, all of them have been bailed to | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
return at a later date this evening and we heard there about Rupert | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
Murdoch signalling his commitment to the newspaper. It will not close, | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
The Sun will not close. A memo was sent to staff within hours of the | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
announcement of the arrests this morning saying there was this | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
continuing commitment to the newspaper, unlike the situation | :05:08. | :05:18. | |
:05:18. | :05:19. | ||
with the News of the World. The Greek Prime Minister has said | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
his country faces "uncontrolled economic chaos" and a "social | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
explosion" if it fails to accept the EU's latest austerity plan. | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
Lucas Papademos was appealing to MPs to support the cuts in a key | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
vote tomorrow, following the resignation of six members of his | :05:30. | :05:39. | |
governing coalition. Mark Lowen Once again they converged on the | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
centre of Athens, several thousand strong, voicing their fury at a | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
fresh barrage of austerity. A package of cuts that the Cabinet | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
has now approved to secure the bail out money Greece needs to avoid a | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
disastrous default next month. Tomorrow, Parliament will vote on | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
the measures. Greece's hour of reckoning is drawing near, but the | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
public mood is darkening as tempers flair. | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
TRANSLATION: We have come here because all this must stop. I think | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
we can stop the politicians. We can overthrow them so the Bill won't | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
pass. We don't want their loans or their money or their debt, they | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
can't afford it. Those MPs who are in Parliament, | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
all 300 of them, should resign. They are traiters. The survival of | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
the euro could be determined by what happens in this building | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
tomorrow evening. If the austerity package is thrown out, Greece would | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
go bankrupt and might be forced to leave the euro and the whole | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
European project could unravel. The stakes could not be higher. The | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
Prime Minister made a televised address to win over a hostile | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
nation, warning of the of the consequences of failure. | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
TRANSLATION: This agreement will decide the country's future. We are | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
just a breath away from Ground Zero. Living standards would collapse and | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
it would lead sooner or later to an exit from the euro. | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
It is a hard argument to sell to those worried that that they are in | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
the firing line of the new cuts. This man has been a teacher for 30 | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
years, but believes he might be one of the 15,000 civil servants set to | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
be laid off. We can't plan anything because we | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
don't know if tomorrow we will have work. If they throw us away, it is | :07:23. | :07:30. | |
impossible to find a new job. We will not have a pension. We can't | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
live after this. So this is a big fear for us. | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
That fear of the future is something new here. The Greece that | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
people once cherished is changing fast and time is short to pull this | :07:43. | :07:52. | |
country back from the financial Syria's official news agency says | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
gunmen have killed a senior army officer in the capital, Damascus. | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
It said three men opened fire on the brigadier general as he left | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
his home and blamed the attack on what it called "armed terrorists". | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
Government tanks and artillery have continued their bombardment of | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
parts of the city of Homs where hundreds of rebel fighters are | :08:07. | :08:14. | |
believed to be entrenched. A man has been arrested in Poland | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
in connection with the death of a man in Edinburgh last month. The | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
body of Maciej Ciania was found at his flat in the city. A 25-year-old | :08:21. | :08:24. | |

greet Burma's opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, as she took to | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
the campaign trail for the first time in the suburb of Rangoon where | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
she's standing for parliament. It's the latest test of the reforms | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
brought in by Burma's new government which took power last | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
year after decades of military rule. Rachel Harvey travelled with Aung | :08:48. | :08:58. | |

Rangoon. Already the crowds are gathering. | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
Packed like sardines into any available vehicle, ready to join | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
the chaotic campaign convoy. All to catch a glimpse of Aung San Suu Kyi. | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
Icon of Burma's long struggle for democracy and now for the the first | :09:21. | :09:30. | |
time a candidate for Parliament. hope and believe she can create our | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
democratic country and future. Aung San Suu Kyi has never run in | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
an election before. She was under house arrest when her party won a | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
landslide victory in 1990. The military ignored the result, | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
embarringing on -- embarking on two decades of oppression and | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
mismanagement. The new semi civilian Government has taken over. | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
There is fresh hope on these faces and much of it rests on the | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
shoulders of this one woman. There is so many people here who have | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
been queuing for hours just for this moment. There have been times | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
when Aung San Suu Kyi looked a little bit concerned about people | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
getting in front of the car. Everyone is so keen to get close to | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
her. We drove deeper into the | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
countryside, development here is still a distant dream. | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
But in a dusty field, on a hot Saturday afternoon, these people | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
were offered a promise afbrighter future. Aung San Suu Kyi talked of | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
creating jobs and improving lives. How much will she really be able to | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
deliver? A handful of by-elections will not alter the balance of power | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
in Burma, but had is seen as a key test of the Government's reformist | :10:53. | :11:03. | |

Now with all the day's sport news, Celina Hinchcliffe. | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
We're going to start with the day's football so if you don't want to | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
know any of the details before Match Of The Day which follows us | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
on BBC One now is the time to press mute and look away! And quite a day | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
it was, Manchester United's manager, Sir Alex Ferguson described the | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
Liverpool striker, Luis Suarez, as a "disgrace" after the striker | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
refused to shake hands with United's Patrice Evra. Suarez was | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
playing his first game against United since serving an eight-match | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
ban for racially abusing Evra. Andy Swiss was at Old Trafford. We | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
thought it was all over, it isn't now. For Patrice Evra and Luis | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
Suarez, this was meant to be a chance to shake hands and move on. | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
Instead this. Evra had to be restained after Luis Suarez's | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
apparent snub. Instead of reckon sill jation, mow -- reconciliation, | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
more rankor. His manager urging for calm. It didn't work. The players | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
clashed at half-time and it continued down the tunnel where | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
police had to intervene. A football match did break out, | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
Manchester United winning it 2-1, but Evra's gleeful celebrations | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
prompted another fracas. Luis Suarez tweeted he was disappointed | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
because in his words "everything is not that it seems." By then he | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
incensed Manchester United. They should get it on. The history | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
that club has got and he does that and in an atmosphere like today and | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
all the build-up to the game, all the profile on the match and he | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
does that. It is a disgrace to that football club. | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
There were issues outside the ground too. Police seized magazines | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
containing potentially offensive masks and arrested one fan over an | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
offensive T-shirt. Headlines will be dominated by Luis | :13:02. | :13:12. | |

Suarez. One of sport's sagas What a week for Harry Redknapp. | :13:13. | :13:16. | |

job. Tonight his Tottenham side beat Newcastle 5-0 at White Hart | :13:19. | :13:29. | |

Lane. New signing Louis Saha scored twice in his first start. | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
Elsewhere an important three points for Blackburn as they won 3-2 | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
against QPR. Similarly for bottom side Wigan who won 2-1 at second | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
from bottom Bolton. Everton's 2-0 win against Chelsea heaps the | :13:43. | :13:51. | |
pressure on Andre Villas Boas. Fulham beat Stoke. Thierry Henry | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
bid another farewell to the Premier League scoring Arsenal's winner | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
against Sunderland, and Norwich got the better of five goals away at | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
Swansea. In Scotland, Rangers temporarily | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
narrowed the gap on the leaders Celtic. They won 4-1 away at | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
Dunfermline in the day's early kick-off. Sone Aluko got the pick | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
of the goals. David Healy, Lee McCulloch and Salim Kerkar got the | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
other goals as Rangers moved to within a point of their old firm | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
rivals. But that didn't last long. Celtic's 1-0 win over Inverness | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
courtesy of Joe Ledley's goal restored the four point gap at the | :14:15. | :14:23. | |
top. Dundee United perhaps got the result of the day with their 5-1 | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
away win at St Johnstone. For the first time in 25 years, a | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
Six Nations match was postponed this evening, France against | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
Ireland, because of a frozen pitch. Earlier England were given a scare | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
by Italy in Rome but eventually triumphed by 19-15. The snow that | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
blanketed the home of the Italian rugby quickly melted under foot, | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
but the game took quite a lot longer to heat up. The first 25 | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
minutes was scrappy with stray kicks. Owen Farrell opened the | :14:57. | :15:05. | |
scoring with two penalty kicks to give England a flimsy lead. | :15:05. | :15:15. | |
:15:15. | :15:21. | ||
That scrappiness lead to this try. Two minutes later, Italy hit again. | :15:21. | :15:28. | |
Italy went into the dressing room with a six point lead. | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
English indiscipline handed the host a further three points. A | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
charge down from Charlie Hodgson pulled England back into the match. | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
More boots from the boot of Farrell, allowing England to breathe earlier | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
with a four point cushion. It wasn't a free flowing win, but it | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
is another victory in tricky conditions. And that's all the | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
sport, Jane. Thank you very much. | :15:56. | :16:00. | |

today's stories on the BBC News Good evening. | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
We got down to minus 11 Celsius across the heart of the country. | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
Tonight is the last of the hard Frosts. Temp Temperatures will be | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
rising tonight across Lincolnshire. Minus 16 Celsius last night, but | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
with increasing amounts of cloud, we won't go that low. | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
In the south before the cloud arrives, we are dipping down to | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
minus 3 Celsius in Cardiff, possibly minus 6 Celsius in Norwich. | :16:42. | :16:52. | |
We are going to start to see rain, sleet and snow drift into into East | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
Anglia. Elsewhere, light rain across Northern England and maybe | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
North Wales, but most places dry. Some breaks in the cloud across the | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
south-west and we are looking at a sunny day across Northern Scotland | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
with highs of 7 or 8 Celsius. Maybe up to 9 Celsius in Belfast, but it | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
will be cloudy here as across much of Northern England. Down this | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
eastern side it will be a dull and dismal day, temperatures reaching 4 | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
or 5 Celsius. Further west, 7, 8 or 9 Celsius and | :17:24. | :17:32. | |
some breaks in the cloud. There could be milky sunshine in Cardiff. | :17:32. | :17:36. |
