the third Test in Kolkata. Good evening. The chairman of the

:00:52.:00:54.

King Edward VII Hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was treated

:00:54.:00:58.

earlier this week, has written to the head of the radio station that

:00:58.:01:03.

made a hoax call to the hospital on Tuesday. The nurse who took the

:01:03.:01:06.

call, Jacintha Saldanha, was found dead yesterday. The hospital's

:01:06.:01:11.

letter said she had been humiliated. They urged the station to take

:01:11.:01:16.

steps to ensure that the incident could not be repeated.

:01:16.:01:20.

Jacintha Saldanha's family have said that they were deeply saddened

:01:20.:01:24.

by their loss. She leaves behind a husband and two children.

:01:24.:01:29.

The hospital described her as an excellent, well-respected nurse,

:01:29.:01:33.

popular with her colleagues. Tonight, the hospital released a

:01:33.:01:36.

letter it sent to the Australian company, which runs the radio

:01:36.:01:41.

station. In it, Lord Glen Arthur, the

:01:41.:01:45.

chairman of the King Edward VII Hospital, urged the broadcaster to

:01:45.:01:55.
:01:55.:02:08.

ensure that there could not be In Australia, the news of Jacintha

:02:09.:02:12.

Saldanha's death has left people in disbelief.

:02:12.:02:17.

At the centre of a fire storm... Mel Greig and Michael Christian,

:02:17.:02:21.

the two DJs behind the stunt were said to be shattered by what has

:02:22.:02:25.

happened. They are on indefinite leave and have been offered

:02:25.:02:29.

counselling by the radio station. The chief executive offered his

:02:29.:02:33.

deepest sympathy to the family of Jacintha Saldanha, but said that

:02:33.:02:38.

the station had not broken laws or broadcasting regulations.

:02:38.:02:43.

No-one could reasonably foresee what actually happened in this case.

:02:43.:02:50.

It is incredibly tragic. Everyone of us are deeply saddened.

:02:50.:02:54.

Today, 2Day FM's Facebook page received more than 10,000 messages,

:02:54.:02:58.

most of them are hostile to the presenters and station. A number of

:02:58.:03:01.

major companies have pulled advertising, although some

:03:01.:03:04.

political leaders here say that the incident has to be put into

:03:04.:03:08.

perspective. As long as there has been radio,

:03:08.:03:13.

there has been prank phone calls. I'm not endorsing them, but

:03:13.:03:17.

regrettably, this has led to a real tragedy. I am sure that it will

:03:17.:03:21.

send a message to the industry. In London, the Duke and the Duchess

:03:21.:03:25.

of Cambridge have stressed their deep sadness for the death of

:03:25.:03:28.

Jacintha Saldanha. An inquest is to begin in London

:03:28.:03:32.

next week. At the same time, Australia's media

:03:32.:03:35.

regulator is to begin its investigation to see if the radio

:03:35.:03:39.

station was in breach of its licence, by broadcasting this now

:03:39.:03:48.

infamous phone conversation. A police officer has been taken to

:03:48.:03:52.

hospital after being injured in clashes with the loyalist

:03:52.:03:55.

protestors in East Belfast. The violence began as people made their

:03:55.:04:01.

way home from a large rally at Belfast City Hall. The loyalistists

:04:01.:04:04.

are angry about the decision to restrict the number of days from

:04:04.:04:08.

which the flag is flown from the building.

:04:08.:04:11.

Saturday afternoon in the centre of Belfast. What is supposed to be one

:04:12.:04:16.

of the busiest shopping days before Christmas.

:04:16.:04:20.

Loyalists gathered from the north, south, the east and the west to

:04:20.:04:23.

protest. This is what it was all about.

:04:23.:04:29.

The absence from the top of Belfast City Hall, of the Union flag.

:04:29.:04:32.

The council decided on Monday to stop flying the flag every day.

:04:32.:04:37.

There have been protests ever since. You know, the bottom line is this...

:04:37.:04:42.

If you take the flag down or not, there are 1 million unionist

:04:43.:04:49.

Protestants living in this country, get used to us! We are here to

:04:49.:04:53.

protest against the removal our Union flag from the City Hall, but

:04:53.:04:57.

that is really scratching the surface of the problem if Northern

:04:57.:05:01.

Ireland, the fact that our heritage and traditions are being stripped

:05:01.:05:04.

from us. The protest meant that the

:05:04.:05:09.

Christmas market had to close. An Irish flag was burnt. Before

:05:09.:05:12.

leaving the crowd sang the National Anthem.

:05:12.:05:22.
:05:22.:05:23.

# God save our queen. # The protest only lasted an hour. Once it ended

:05:23.:05:28.

business returned to normal in the centre of Belfast. The Christmas

:05:28.:05:31.

market, it even reopened, but then the trouble started in other parts

:05:31.:05:36.

of the city. It was mainly in East Belfast, on

:05:36.:05:41.

the road which leads to Stormont. The disturbances were relatively

:05:41.:05:44.

minor, but the police were ready just in case it escalated.

:05:44.:05:49.

Although many of the protests this week have been peaceful, others

:05:49.:05:54.

have not. Cars have been hi-jacked, property attacked and more than 20

:05:54.:06:00.

police officers have been injured. Let me be very clear, that this is

:06:00.:06:06.

tugry, disguised as a protest it will not be acceptial. We have the

:06:06.:06:12.

situation where loyalist paramilitary groups are involved in

:06:12.:06:17.

distrib uet --dies Buting the disorder.

:06:17.:06:20.

Loyalist paramilitaries are supposed to be on a ceasefire. The

:06:20.:06:24.

police so far have been able to contain the violence, but for the

:06:24.:06:30.

officers across this city, a long night lies ahead.

:06:30.:06:34.

The former South African President, Nelson Mandela, has been admitted

:06:34.:06:39.

to hospital in Pretoria for tests. Jacob Zuma said that Nelson Mandela,

:06:40.:06:45.

who is 94, was doing well. What more do we know at this stage,

:06:45.:06:50.

Andrew? Not a great deal. We are told that there is no course for --

:06:50.:06:58.

cause for concern. We know he has been flown from his home about an

:06:58.:07:01.

hour-and-a-half's flight to Pretoria. That is about it.

:07:01.:07:06.

The presidency is trying to balance the need for privacy with the

:07:06.:07:09.

obvious enormous interest that the condition is generating in the

:07:09.:07:14.

public here. He is seen as a father figure here. People take that

:07:14.:07:17.

relationship almost literally. There are reasons for concern. He

:07:17.:07:21.

is 94, he is in frail health and this is his third hospitalisation

:07:21.:07:27.

in two years. The other reason is that a couple of years ago when

:07:27.:07:32.

admitted for routine tests we found out it was in fact an acute

:07:32.:07:36.

respiratory infection. Having said that, though, the presidency is

:07:36.:07:40.

controlling the messages better and trying to be frank with the public.

:07:40.:07:44.

Now there is not cause for alarm at this stage.

:07:44.:07:48.

The High Court judge has delayed delivering a ruling on whether a

:07:49.:07:54.

boy with brain cancer must undergo radio they werey because of

:07:54.:07:59.

developments in the child's condition. Seven-year-old Neon had

:07:59.:08:03.

the tumour removed last year. The doctors advised him to have radio

:08:03.:08:08.

they werey, but the mother fears that it could cause the son long-

:08:08.:08:12.

term harm. England are on the brink of a win

:08:12.:08:18.

over India. India ended the fourth day, 2939-9. One wicket in hand as

:08:18.:08:25.

England close in to take a 2-1 lead in the series with a match to play.

:08:25.:08:31.

The ups and the downs of captaining England. At the start of the day,

:08:31.:08:37.

Alistair Cook saw his team add a paltry 14 runs. Then India got off

:08:37.:08:44.

to a flying start. England as advantage slipping through their

:08:44.:08:47.

fingers. Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir went to the bowling.

:08:47.:08:53.

Cook es nickname is Chef. After, England transformed. The first ball

:08:53.:08:59.

after the break, Virender Sehwag was out to Graeme Swan.

:08:59.:09:04.

The momentum shifted and Gautam Gambhir and Cheteshwar Pujara got

:09:04.:09:09.

into a dreadful mest. -- dreadful mess.

:09:09.:09:14.

Cheteshwar Pujara was run out. That affected Gautam Gambhir who soon

:09:14.:09:19.

followed. Then on to Steve Finn. Sachin Tendulkar arrived and went,

:09:19.:09:25.

out to Swan for five. Sachin Tendulkar is past his best.

:09:25.:09:29.

But this registered disbelief amongst his followers, how much can

:09:29.:09:34.

he play on? There is pressure on him and the skipper, Mahendra Singh

:09:34.:09:42.

Dhoni fell to James Anderson for a duck. When Zaheer Khan lost his
