Minister's plans on gay marriage. More than 20 Conservative | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
associations call for this week's parliamentary vote to be delayed - | :00:12. | :00:20. | |
saying it'll cost votes at the next election. The 20-year-old London | :00:20. | :00:23. | |

Good evening. David Cameron is facing a challenge from within the | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
Conservative Party to plans for Parliament to vote on gay marriage. | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
A delegation from more than 20 local Conservative associations has | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
delivered a letter to Downing Street, saying that gay marriage | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
will cause the party significant damage at the 2015 election. MPs | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
vote on the issue on Tuesday. Our political correspondent Carole | :01:15. | :01:25. | |
:01:25. | :01:26. | ||
Walker has the details. They came from the shires on a Sunday | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
afternoon to deliver their protest to Downing Street. These are some | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
of the 25 senior Conservatives who are warning David Cameron that a | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
significant number in his party will not support what they see as | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
an attempt to redefine marriage. is not a matter of being anti-gay. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
It is a matter of considering what is the institution of marriage | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
about and for many people, and certainly older Conservatives, as | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
well as young Conservatives, Mage has been a matter between a man and | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
a woman, bringing up if they're lucky, children. Their letter says | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
there is no mandate for the bill and it is being rushed through and | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
it says resignations from the party are beginning to multiply and we | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
fear this bill will lead to significant damage to the | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Conservative Party in the run-up to the 2015 election. Downing Street | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
say there is no question of Prime Minister backing down. It is a free | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
vote and he accepts many MPs and even some cabinet ministers will | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
not support it. But he believes it is time to give gay teem e people | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
the same right as everyone else. it rights in principle, I think it | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
is, marriage is a positive institution and we shouldn't deny | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
it to people. There is public consents for it to be a law? Yes. | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
There is. Many Tories want the Prime Minister to do nor support | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
traditional marriages and resentment has been fumed by the | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
decision not to introduce tax break four married couples in the budget. | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
The bill to allow gay couples to marry is likely to get the go ahead | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
on Tuesday. But it could face a difficult passage through | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
Parliament, which will put further strains on the relationship between | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
the Prime Minister and his party. A 20-year-old woman from East London | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
who was disfigured in an acid attack on her way home from work | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
has been speaking to the BBC about her ordeal. In her first television | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
interview, Naomi Oni said that when she saw her face for the first time | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
after the attack she didn't want to live. This report from Ben Ando. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
This was 20- year-old Naomi Oni before the attack that changed her | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
life forever. There was droplets on my arm. Naomi suffered horrific | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
burns just over a month ago when acid was thrown at her by an | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
unknown attacker dressed in a Burkha. She was rushed to hospital | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
and recalls the moment she saw her injuries in a mirror. My eyes were | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
swollen. I was terrified. My vision was cutting out as well. I thought | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
I was going to go blind. I was terrified. I didn't want to want to | :04:17. | :04:27. | |
:04:27. | :04:30. | ||
live after I saw my face. Naomi worked in a shopping mall. She has | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
no idea why somebody would want to inflict such horrific injuries. It | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
burnt quite a bit of my ear. not deaf, I'm not blind and I can | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
eat, I can drink, I can talk. That is just like that person failed - | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
whatever their aim was, they failed and God has given me a life for a | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
reason. That's what keeps me going. Now Naomi says she is determined to | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
stay positive and is hoping that giving this interview will prompt | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
someone to contact the police, though so far no one has been | :05:01. | :05:09. | |
arrested. The Prime Minister is meeting the Afghan and Pakistani | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
presidents tonight for talks on what happens in Afghanistan after | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
foreign troops withdraw next year. The hope is to prevent a Taliban | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
resurgence, but the relationship between Afghanistan and Pakistan | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
will be crucial, especially along their notoriously lawless shared | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
border. We have reports from correspondents on both sides of | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
that border. In a moment Quentin Somerville from Afghanistan, but | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
first Orla Guerin on Pakistan's role. Dangerous terrain. The border | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
region between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Hidden from view there | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
are militant strongholds, some allegedly have Islamabad's | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
protection. When NATO troops go, controlling this front line will be | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
up to Pakistan and its wary neighbour. But first it needs the | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
trust of the region and the west. And here in Islamabad, the | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
Government has started building that trust. It has taken concrete | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
steps by freeing some Afghan Taliban prisoners. More releases | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
are expected soon. The hope is the returning Taliban can persuade | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
their leaderships to move from fighting to talking. If that fails, | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
there could be more chaos on both sides of the fabled Khyber Pass. | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
Pakistan fears being left alone to pick up the pieces as it was in | :06:38. | :06:48. | |

1989 when the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan. $YELLOW When relations | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
with Pakistan hit rock bottom, this essential supply route into | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
Afghanistan closed. The trucks are moving here again. The routes have | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
reopened and on this side of the border. There is a growing sense of | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
optimism that Pakistan by releasing a number of Taliban leaders from | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
prison may be able to play a constructive role in bring | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
participants to the negotiating table and getting the peace process | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
moving. In the Afghan capital and beyond, the focus is turning to the | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
legacy that the international mission leaves behind. As in | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Islamabad, the sense here in Kabul is that the clock is ticking. | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
President Karzai is scheduled to leave office in a year's time. | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
Foreign troops won't be far behind him. And in the words of one senior | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
western diplomat, there is a moment of opportunity for Afghanistan and | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
Pakistan to work together for peace. Britain's role is to host these two | :07:42. | :07:51. | |
nations whose future prospects remain joined together. It's | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
emerged that another senior director at Barclays Bank is | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
stepping down. Finance Director Chris Lucas, who's expected to | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
leave in a matter of days. His decision to retire comes as the | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
bank attempts to move on after last year's rate-fixing scandal. Our | :08:01. | :08:10. | |
Business Correspondent Philip Hampsheir is with me now. How | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
significant is this? Chris Lucas has been at the bank for six years | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
now. So a long time. But he is one of the last set of four people who | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
were at the top of the bank during the difficult times last summer. We | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
have seen two step down. We have seen the former Chief Executive | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
officer go as well. He was the last one at that big four set. The bank | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
is under investigation by the Serious Fraud Office and the | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
financial services authority with regard to how it managed to avoid | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
having the British Government buy a stake in it. Barclays is keen to | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
point out there is no relation between that investigation and the | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
fact he has chosen to step down now. Thank you. Very much. French | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
warplanes have bombarded Islamist bases in northern Mali as they try | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
to secure a town which is the rebels' last stronghold. The air | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
strike came just a few hours after a triumphant visit by the French | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
president to Timbuktu - the most prominent area freed by his troops | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
from Islamist control. Our Africa correspondent Andrew Harding is in | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
Timbuktu now and reports on the tensions and divisions still in | :09:18. | :09:28. | |
:09:28. | :09:31. | ||
evidence. Life and colour are returning to this desert town. | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
Schools are finally open once again. The Islamist militants who occupied | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
Timbuktu imposed strict rules for girls and then stop all lessons. | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
There is plenty to clear up. The militants have tried to destroy | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
past, burning some priceless manuscripts and smashing ancient | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
shrines. Paining over anything that offended them that. Included the | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
faces outside the hair dressing Sallon. They arrested me for | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
shaving someone's beard off, he says. They beat people on the | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
street. I hope they never come back. But tensions remain and this man | :10:16. | :10:24. | |
showed me the neighbourhood and dozens of looted shops that were | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
owned by light skinned people, accused of being Al-Qaeda | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
sympathisers. They were all working with them he said. They hid weapon | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
upon -- weapons for the enemies. It is a sign of the rivalry still | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
threatening Mali. Timbuktu's leaders seem confident the worst is | :10:45. | :10:54. | |
over. We will have elections soon, says the town's mayor and a | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
transparent who must live together, negotiate and rebuild our country. | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
The French are still here to help out, but they're working on an exit | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
strategy. Before long, Mali's own ill-disciplined security forces | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
will be expected to take a role in keeping the peace here in Timbuktu | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
and preventing Al-Qaeda and its allys from storming back into town. | :11:20. | :11:28. | |
That is asking a lot of these soldiers. On the outskirts of town, | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
Mali's airm stands on guard. Deeper in the desert to the north, the war | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
goes on. The Birmingham hospital treating Malala Yousafzai - the | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
Pakistani schoolgirl shot by the Taliban - says she is making good | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
progress after major surgery yesterday. During the five-hour | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
operation surgeons attached a titanium plate to her skull and | :11:45. | :11:53. | |
implanted a device to help her hearing. Police outside Buckingham | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
Palace have used a Taser stun gun to disarm a man who was carrying | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
two knives. Crowds of tourists watched as the man held a large | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
blade to his throat and then challenged police who approached | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
him. Richard Lister reports. Noon at Buckingham Palace and a crowd's | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
gathered for the changing of the guard. All eyes though are on this | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
man who is bradishing two large kitchen knives. The police surround | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
him as he holds a blade to his neck. They challenge him and one officer | :12:23. | :12:31. | |
circled behind him with a Taser. He fires. The man then appeared to | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
approach him before falling to the ground. The electric shock leaves | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
the man stunned and officers disarm before taking him away. One | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
bystander said it all seemed to be over very quickly. They surrounded | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
him and then one come up behind him and Tasered him. He fell to the | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
ground within a couple of seconds and he got taken away in the police | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
van. Buckingham Palace says the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
were in Sandringham at the time. It hasn't issued any comment on the | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
incident. The knives and the man's hat were visible behind the police | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
cordon, as were the beads he was holding. Scotland Yard say he is | :13:08. | :13:15. | |
now being held at a police station in central London. The Egyptian | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
Government has apologised after shocking footage of a man being | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
beaten by police outside the presidential palace was broadcast | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
on state television. The images proved to be a particular | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
flashpoint amid days of protest against President Mursi. Our | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
correspondent Aleem Maqbool went to find his family. His report starts | :13:28. | :13:38. | |
:13:38. | :13:41. | ||
with that controversial footage. It is a video that has called | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
revulsion here. The sight of a man apparently being stripped, beaten | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
and dragged along the road by police. It was during a protest | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
close to the Presidential Palace and it has come to similar pollise | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
hatred for the president. The victim is being treated in a police | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
hospital. But when we found his family, they told us they had been | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
left devastated by the hue mill kpwraigs. -- mew milliation. | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
TRANSLATION: Everyone knows what happened to my father. I spoke to | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
him on the phone. He was crying and scared. He is such a simple man. He | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
just went to watch. I can't forgive them for treating him like an | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
animal. But strangely fr, his hospital bed, the man appeared on | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
television, saying he is fine and that it was opposition protesters | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
that beat him. And that the police rescued him. We went to the | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
hospital ourselves with his son. Though we wernt aloud in -- weren't | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
aloud in, he was was. After he understood why his father appeared | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
to have lied on TV. TRANSLATION: My father told me the police put | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
pressure on him. They told him if he opens his moufrtd, they would | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
plant Molotov cock toils -- mouth, they would plant Molotov cocktail | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
and say he was carrying them. is where the man was stripped and | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
beaten. It has caused shock among Egyptians. And it is incidents like | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
these that make a lot of people here feel they still need to fight | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
for real change in Egypt. Sport now and for a full round up of all the | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
day's action, here's Olly Foster at the BBC Sport Centre. Thank you. We | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
have had some stunning goals in the Premier League today. Gareth Bale | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
scored the win for Tottenham at WBA and Manchester City could only draw | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
with Liverpool. Many will miss Manchester City's striker Mario | :15:48. | :15:56. | |
Balotelli. The manager chose not to replace him and his faith in his | :15:56. | :16:06. | |
:16:06. | :16:07. | ||
strikers was rewarded when Dzeko scored. But their former player | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
Sturridge did the damage. If that was spectacular it was nothing | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
compared to Liverpool's second. Steven Gerard has scored some | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
memorable goals. He won't forget this one for a while. If Liverpool | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
thought they would see their team beat a table from the top of the of | :16:27. | :16:37. | |
:16:37. | :16:37. | ||
the season -- table, they were wrong. But Aguero scored this goal. | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
The draw leaves City trailing Manchester United by nine points. | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
Earlier, West Brom's hopes of getting anything from their match | :16:47. | :16:57. | |
at home to Tottenham evaporated when Popov spat at Kyle Walker. | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
Then they got a goal and Spurs boosted their chances of the | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
Champions League. There has been an upset in the Six Nations. Italy | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
have beaten France in Rome. It was a tight game but this try saw Italy | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
edge in front in the second half. A late drop goal saw them win 23-18 | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
and cue celebrations. Italy play Scotland in Edinburgh next weekend. | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
A brilliant century from Charlotte Edwards helped England beat India | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
in the cricket World Cup. Her 109 also saw her become the leading | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
scorer in one day internationals. In need of a cuddle? Well England | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
probably were after that shock opening loss to Sri Lanka. But in | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
this match, they had a mascot and a record-breaker. Charlotte Edwards | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
the captain became the leading international one day run scorer. | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
And the runs kept coming and so did the boundaries and soon the century. | :17:59. | :18:09. | |
:18:09. | :18:10. | ||
Edwards was run out, but the damage had been done. A hefty 273 India's | :18:10. | :18:19. | |
target and England tore through their top order. Nothing weak about | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
England's knight in shining armour, Heather Knight with a stunning | :18:24. | :18:34. | |
:18:34. | :18:34. | ||
piece of fielding. And the wickets kept falling. India lost by 32 runs. | :18:34. | :18:42. | |
A fine day's work for England. Their mascot and the captain. | :18:42. | :18:52. | |
Steefren Gallagher is celebrating a rare win on the European tour. He | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
won the Dubai Desert Classic, thanks to this eagle on 16th. It is | :18:57. | :19:02. |
