investigating the broadcast of a prank phone call, which was made by | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
a radio station in Sydney, to a hospital treating the Duchess of | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
Cambridge for acute morning sickness. Jacintha Saldanha, a | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
nurse who answered the call was found dead yesterday. The two DJs | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
have been taken off air. There has been a tragic turn in the | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
radio hoax on the British hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
being treated. As the news broke in Australia, the | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
radio station responsible said it was shocked and saddened by | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Jacintha Saldanha's death. Mel Greig and Michael Christian, | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
the presenters who made the call have been taken off air. The man in | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
charge of the company that owns the radio station, 2Day FM, said that | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
the DJs were shattered, but he said he did not think that laws had been | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
broken. No-one could reasonably foresee | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
what actually happened in this case it is incredibly tragic. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Everyone of us are deeply saddened. We are incredibly sad for the | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
family. The Australian media regulator has | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
been inundated with the complaints about the call, made on Tuesday. It | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
is now investigating. There has been pressure from politicians too. | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
As long as there has been radios, there have been prank phone calls. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
I am not endorsing them, but this has led to a real tragedy. | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
I am sure that it will send a message to the industry. | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
In a statement, the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge said that they | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
were also deeply saddened by what had happened and praised the | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
wonderful care that they received. At no stage had they complained | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
about the hoax call. The staff had the heart felt support of the Royal | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
couple. 46-year-old Jacintha Saldanha was a | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
mother of two who worked as a duty nurse at the King Edward VII | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
Hospital in Central London. Described by her family as beloved, | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
the hospital said she was a dedicated nurse. | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
The police inquiry is to look at what happened when Jacintha | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
Saldanha took the hoax call and what happened after that. It is | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
understood that no disciplinary action was taken against the nurse. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
The hospital say it is was trying to support her through a difficult | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
time. The police in Northern Ireland are | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
appealing for calm after more violent protests last knight | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
against the decision to stop flying the Union flag every day at Belfast | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
City Hall. They say that loyalist par mill tearis are orchestrating | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
some of the trouble. Eight police officers were injured last night. | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
12 people have been arrested. We have this report. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
A festive Friday night in Northern Ireland. This was Newton Abbey, to | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
the north of Belfast, a Christmas party, marred by the violence | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
outside. The trouble was confined to pockets like this one, not | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
widespread, but dangerous, still. It was an utterly pointless | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
exercise in mindless violence. It does nothing for whatever cause | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
people claim to be supporting. It just undermines the integrity of | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
our economy. This, in the heart of Belfast, the | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
trouble flared when this van car eared into the loyalists protesting | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
about restrictions on flying the Union flag at City Hall. The | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
results felt grimly inevitable. The violence here happened a short | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
distance from busy shops and restaurants. The police are now | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
concern bad what may happen today, one of the busiest shopping days of | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
the year. Beneath the flag pole, with no flag, there is unease, but | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
the traders at the Christmas market are defind. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
Regardless of the events that take place on the perimeters of the | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
market, we will continue to run with the market. We have spoken to | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
the market traders, they are supportive of the action. | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
police have accused loyalist particles of orchestrating some of | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
the violence. Senior -- particularlys, senior officers are | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
urging for calm. The next few hours will be a test of peace in Northern | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
Ireland. The Foreign Secretary, William | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
Hague, says that there is credible evidence that Syria may be | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
preparing to use its chemical weapons against the rebels fighting | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
Bashar al-Assad. William Hague repeated the warning given this | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
week by President Obama, that any use of chemical weapons would | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
provoke a serious response. A High Court judge has postponed a | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
decision on whether or not a mother should be allowed to prevent her | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
son being given radiotherapy treatment for brain cancer. | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
Jacintha Saldanha told the hearing she feared that the treatment would | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
cause her son, Neon, long-term brain damage, but the doctors say | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
that Neon could die without the treatment. | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
Let's go live to our correspondent Ben Ando. Ben, what happened this | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
morning? It was a year ago that an operation was carried out and a | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
tumour removed from the brain of Neon. After that, the doctors | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
wanted him to undergo a process of radio they werey, but Sally did not | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
agree with that. Wishing him to have chemotherapy, but not radio | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
they werey. That could harm him and possibly render him infertile, but | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
the hospital have obtained a court order forcing him to undergo the | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
treatment. Last week Jacintha Saldanha went into hiding with her | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
son. They were located after reporting restrictions were lifted. | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
The judge said he had intended to make a ruling on whether the child | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
should receive the treatment, but that changes now make that no | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
longer necessary. That nature is no respecter of court timings. It is | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
not clear what has changed. There were suggests that ongoing scans on | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Neon may have something to do with that, but now there will be a | :06:20. | :06:25. |
