The Australian radio hosts at the centre of the royal hospital hoax | :00:05. | :00:11. | |
say they're heartbroken. The nurse who took the prank call | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
was later found dead. The presenters described their reaction | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
to the news. You know, it was never meant to go that far. It was meant | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
to be a silly little prank that so many people have done before. This | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
wasn't meant to happen. Gutted, you know, shattered, heartbroken. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |

Good afternoon, and welcome to the BBC News at 1.00pm. The Australian | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
radio presenters at the centre of the hoax call to the hospital where | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
the Duchess of Cambridge was being treated have spoken publicly for | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
the first time. Mel Greig and Michael Christian said their | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
deepest sympathies were with the family and friends of Jacintha | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
Saldanha, the nurse who took the call and who was found dead three | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
days later. In a television interview, they described their | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
actions as "innocent", but said they were "gutted and heartbroken" | :02:00. | :02:08. | |
by her death. Here's our royal correspondent, Nicholas Witchell. | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
Tonight, the two young radio hosts break their silence... Until Friday, | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
they'd been boasting about a career highlight. Then came the moment | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
when they were told what their prank call had led to. | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
Unfortunately, I remember that moment very well because I haven't | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
stopped thinking about it since it happened, and I remember my first | :02:28. | :02:38. | |
question was, "Was she a mother?" And what about you, Michael? | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
gutted, you know, shattered, heartbroken. The presenters' | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
defence is that they never intended to cause any harm. You know, it was | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
never meant to go that far. It was meant to be a silly little prank | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
that so many people have done before. This wasn't meant to happen. | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
Yet it seems little or no thought had been given to the ethics of | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
making a prank call. Do you get any coaching, any training at all as to | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
what you're allowed to put to whai, you're allowed to tell people | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
they're being recorded and put to air? Have you been told that during | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
your tenure here? This phone call was the same as with any phone call, | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
any prerecorded segment that goes to air. There's processes in place | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
and people that make those decisions. Have you been told that? | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
Have you been taught that set down in a legal class? There are people | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
who make those decision for us. Our responsibility... Did someone | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
listen to that call? It went through the process as everything | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
we do. It all gets recorded and passed on to the appropriate people. | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
Now they're struggling to cope with the unintended consequences of | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
their actions. There is nothing that can make me feel worse than | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
what I feel right now and for what I feel for the family. We're so | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
sorry that this has happened to them. In India, Jacintha Saldhana's | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
family are struggling with their grief. They have said the nurse was | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
a devout woman who would have felt shame in her unwitting mistake in | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
accepting the call. In London, the hospital has repeated that Mrs | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
Saldhana was not facing any reprimand over the hoax call, but | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
an MP who has been in touch with her family here in Britain wants | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
the hospital to disclose anything that might be relevant. This is | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
obviously a most unusual and distressing state of affairs, and | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
I'm sure that they will want to share that information with the | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
family because the family would be interested in the facts and what | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
exactly happened over the last few days. It will now be for an inquest | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
to examine precisely what issues were weighing on Jacintha | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
Saldhana's mind at the time of her death. | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
Let's talk now to our correspondent Duncan Kennedy who joins us from | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
Sydney. So the DJs have spoken of their heartbreak and their deep | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
regret, Duncan. What happens to them now? Well, both presenters | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
said that they want to get in touch with the family of Mrs Saldhana to | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
offer their apologies either directly or indirectly, although | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
both said that that was up likely to happen in the near future. As to | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
their own futures, that's unclear. They're both on indefinite leave at | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
the moment and whether they can or would want to return to that radio | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
station or even the radio industry is simply not known. On the wider | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
front, an inquiry is about to get under way by the Australian media | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
regulator. It will be wanting to ask questions about who authorised | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
the prank call to be made in the first place and who authorised it | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
to be broadcast, and then of course there could be further questions | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
from British police. They've already been in touch with | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
Australian police. It may be they'll want to talk to those two | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
presenters and other members of staff at some point in the future. | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
Duncan, thank you. Duncan Kennedy joining us from Sydney. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
A group of MPs says people caught with a small amount of drugs | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
shouldn't be prosecuted, but should be given treatment instead. The MPs | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
on the Commons Home Affairs Committee point to Portugal as an | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
example of where the policy works. The Government here says drug use | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
is falling and it has no intention of changing the law on cannabis. | :06:14. | :06:23. | |
Our home editor Mark Easton reports. The so-called global war on drugs | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
based on international prohibition has been raging for half a century. | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
We must wage what I have called total war against public enemy | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
number one in the United States, the problem of dangerous drugs. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
today the influential Home Affairs Committee of MPs urged the British | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
Government to order a complete rethink of the strategy. There is | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
now more than ever a case for a fundamental review of all UK drugs | :06:49. | :06:58. | |
:06:59. | :07:04. | ||
policy in the international context, The victims are the people who at | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
the end of the day suffer as a result of what's going on. This | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
approach is what's required to deal with this problem. | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
The committee has urged Ministers to look at countries like Portugal | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
where drug use has been de- penalised with the focus on | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
treatment rather than punishment. Following the legalisation of | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
marijuana in the American states of Washington and Colorado, the MPs | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
recommend the Government assesss the costs of cannabis legalisation. | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
While overall drug use has been falling in recent years, Home | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
Affairs figures suggest at least half a million people in England | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
and Wales have taken a class A drug in the previous month. Three | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
million have used illicit drugs in the previous year mostly cannabis. | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
The Drugs Minister says it will look closely at today's report. | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
There are interesting new ideas. The report says that we should look | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
more carefully at the model that's happened in Portugal, and I'm | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
certainly happy to go there, as the report recommends, and see what | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
they're doing there, so we should be open to new ideas and fresh | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
thinking, but I think we should also acknowledge that we've | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
actually made a lot of progress. think drug laws are bonkers, so I | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
am breaking the taboo. There is, however, an international campaign | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
involving senior politicians and public figures. A lot of people die, | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
and it doesn't solve the problem. This new documentary is designed to | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
put further pressure on governments around the world to rethink drugs | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
policy. The Labour Party has published | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
plans for legislating the press. The so-called Leveson Bill will be | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
considered at cross-party talks later in the week, but the | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
Conservatives have already dismissed it as lacking in detail. | :08:35. | :08:44. | |
Our political correspondent Norman Smith joins us from Westminster. | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
What exactly, Norman, is Labour proposing? This is the Labour bill, | :08:48. | :08:57. | |
just six clauses long, so a relatively small pan Ella of a bill. | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
To underscore their argument that this doesn't have to be fiendishly | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
complex and difficult, you can do it in an easy way, at the heart of | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
their idea is that the body supervising the press shouldn't be | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
Ofcom but the judiciary. The way the Labour plan would work is you'd | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
have the press, above them a regulatory body which would oversee | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
the day-to-day running of the press and investigating the complaints | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
and ordering apologies, then above that you would have the Lord Chief | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
Justice sitting with panel of judges who once every three years | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
would decide whether the system was working. Labour say the beauty of | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
that system is because the judiciary is involved it is | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
independent of Parliament and politicians. The Conservatives say | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
the problem is this is too simple. It amounts to no more than a | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
glorified press release, so they're going to produce their own draft | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
bill on Thursday which they say will show just how difficult it is | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
to frame legislation to implement the Leveson proposals, and in | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
contrast to this relatively slim document, I expect the Conservative | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
document would probably end up looking like the parliamentary | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
equivalent of the Yellow Pages Thank you, Norman Smith in | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
Westminster. Detectives investigating | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
allegations of sex abuse surrounding Jimmy Savile and others | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
have arrested a man in his 60s. Scotland Yard say he was detained | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
on suspicion of sexual offences and is being held at a police station | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
in south London. Up to 100,000 patients with cancer | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
and rare diseases in England are to have their DNA fully mapped. | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
Downing Street says a database of genetic sequences and profiles will | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
be built so that doctors can better understand patients' illnesses and | :10:30. | :10:40. | |
:10:40. | :10:42. | ||
develop new treatments. Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh reports. | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
Cancer cells have their own genetic blueprint or genetic code, and | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
mapping this DNA can be done faster and cheaper than ever before. When | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
this programme will start, who will do the genetic code sequencing and | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
analysis hasn't been worked out. But the Prime Minister on a visit | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
to labs in Cambridge said it had the potential to transform cancer | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
treatment. We want to crack cancer and the DNA database can help us to | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
do that, but we also want to keep Britain at the absolute forefront | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
of biotechnology, of the pharmaceutical industry. We can be | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
a real world leader in this. hope is that by comparing genetic | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
profiles of huge numbers of patients, it will allow scientists | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
to understand why some do far better than others and help in the | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
new quest for treatments. For existing patients, DNA mapping may | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
lead to better targeting of medicines. Being able to save the | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
lady in front of us in the clinic, we know from the car code in your | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
cancer that you'll respond to this treatment, but not to this | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
treatment - and that is a very important aim because we have | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
treatments that work for some of our patient, but we really need to | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
have tests that really can choose the right person for the right | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
treatment at the right time. scheme will be voluntary and the | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
data anonymous to protect patient confidentiality, but critics fear | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
it could be misused. That information can be used to track | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
individuals and their relatives, so there are real privacy concerns, | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
but it's also open to commercial exploitation. There are more than | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
200 types of cancer. It's a complex and highly resistent disease. The | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
talk amongst specialists is less of cures and more of improved long- | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
term outcomes, so most of the benefits from this ambitious | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
project are likely to be among the next generation of cancer patients. | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
The former South African President, Nelson Mandela has spent a second | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
night in hospital in Pretoria. Mr Mandela, who's 94, has been having | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
tests for an unspecified medical condition. A Minister who visited | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
him today says he was doing "very, very well". Our Africa | :12:48. | :12:56. | |
correspondent Andrew Harding joins us from Johannesburg now. What else | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
is being said about Mr Mandela's health, Andrew? Interestingly, | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
almost nothing. Since he went in on Saturday, he was brought up from | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
his rural home and put into a hospital in prait prait. We've | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
heard nothing but generally very positive mood music from the | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
presidency here. As you say, he's apparently had a restful night. We | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
know he's in good hands. He's being looked after, and the Defence | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
Minister went in to see him herself this morning. Outside she told | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
journalists that he was very, very well and that the country should | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
pray for him, but also not go into a panic. Beyond that, though, in | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
terms of the specifics of what's actually wrong with Mr Mandela, why | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
he needs tests, what sort of tests he might be understood going, we | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
simply know nothing. That's a big contrast from the last couple of | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
times when he has been hospitalised in the last two years. Then pretty | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
early on we started getting rumours and unofficial reports of what | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
might be troubling him. This time the presidency here is controlling | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
the information very carefully. Right now I think the South African | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
public is broadly buying into this line that there is no reason to | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
panic. They're going to wait patiently for more news. There is | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
an enormous amount of affection and concern for Nelson Mandela, but | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
people here are slowly acknowledging that at the age of 94 | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
he's not going to live forever, and people are simply waiting to be | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
told more and wishing him all the best. Thank you, Andrew Harding in | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
Johannesburg. The Ministry of Defence has awarded | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
a contract of o�1.2 billion to BAE Systems to build the Royal Navy's | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
latest submarine, Audacious. The move will secure at least 3,500 | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
jobs. Audacious will be the fourth of seven attack submarines. But the | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
first one to be built, HMS Astute, suffered a series of problems, | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
including a shooting incident, flooding and running aground. Our | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
defence correspondent Jonathan Beale has been given exclusive | :14:42. | :14:52. | |
:14:52. | :15:00. | ||
We joined HMS Astute off the west coast of Scotland. Costing more | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
than �1 billion, it is supposed to be one of the most advanced | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
military machines, but so far it has hit the headlines for mostly | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
the wrong reasons. Keep 20 metres... On one of her | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
first voyages she ran aground. Last year, one officer was shot dead by | :15:22. | :15:32. | |
:15:32. | :15:32. | ||
a junior rating, a simple momential marks the spot. Technical problems, | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
including corrosion and a leak, but the Admiral in charge shows that | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
they are working for perfection. It is as complex as a space shuttle. | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
It is like a 7,000 tonne Swiss watch. It works and it is safe. | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
That is paramount for the 100 crew who work in the cramped conditions. | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
They rely on sophisticated censors to list no-one the water. | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
To see above, there is no periscope, but an array of cameras. | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
The submarine can hover to gather intelligence or laufrpbl attack wut | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
being seen or heard. It has been a difficult beginning for HMS Astute, | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
five years after she was launched and two years after she was | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
commissioned, she is still conducting sea trials here. | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
But she will be ready for operations next year. Today's order | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
of a fourth submarine is a sign of confidence in a brighter future. | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
Now, let's have a look at time after a quarter past one and the | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
top story: The Australian radio hosts at the centre of the Royal | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
Hospital hoax say that they are heartbroken. | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
Coming up: Spicing up the West End, a musical based around the songs of | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
the UK's most successful girl band. On BBC London: Signs that the West | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
End could see record sales on the run-up to Christmas. Nearly 40 | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
years after Lord Lucan disappeared, we hear the evidence that prompted | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
his brother to give his first television interview. | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
It's been nearly two years since the Arab Spring, the uprisings that | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
began around the Middle East, from Tunisia, spreading across the | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
Mediterranean, transforming the political landscape. All this week, | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
BBC News is assessing the impact of the uprisings, we begin in Egypt, | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
where for many people, the revolution that toppled Hosni | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
Mubarak is far from over. George Alagiah joins us now from | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
Tahrir Square. Thank you very much. As you say, | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
this was, if I can call it that, the crucible of opposition nearly | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
two years ago. This is the place where they toppled a man, a | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
dictator who had been in power for some 30 years, but the perhaps | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
surprising thing is that there are activists back in Tahrir Square | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
again. This time, of course, they are directing their anger at an | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
elected leader, Mohammed Morsi of this country. What they say is that | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
the President is trying to push through a constitution, which they | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
think is flawed and he is trying to do it through a referendum, which | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
they say, is going to come too soon it caused anger on both sides. | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
There were been protests for a number of weeks here. There are | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
more protests planned tomorrow. For the latest let's get a report from | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
Jon Leyne. It does have flash photography. | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
Through the weekend, the protesters have been continuing to stream up | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
to the Presidential Palace in Cairo. Nothing that the President has done | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
has been enough to satisfy them. This is now the main focus of their | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
demonstration. Just Astra trartrar was in the revolution against Hosni | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
Mubarak last year -- just Astra trartrar was. | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
The army are playing -- Tahrir Square. The army are playing a | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
important role in protecting the Government. | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
Mohammed Morsi has given the army the power of arrest. Many Egyptians | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
will see this as a step back after the hand overto civilian rule. | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
Mohammed Morsi held talks with several political factions, but the | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
main opposition forces boycotted the meeting, saying he presented | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
them with a fait acompli, leaving little to talk about. The | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
opposition are demanding the postponement of the referendum on a | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
new constitution, but it is still going ahead. The government did | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
announce one concession, the lifting of the decree, granting | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
Mohammed Morsi sweeping powers. The opposition rejected that as not | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
enough to break the deadlock. Nearly two years after the original | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
protests in Tahrir Square, each side accusing the other of being | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
too close to the old regime. Mohammed Morsi says that the | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
opposition are in the pay of former regime loyalistists. The opposition | :19:59. | :20:06. | |
say that Mohammed Morsi is acting like the dictator that he replaced. | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
Mohammed Morsi's supporters have been holding a sit-in on the | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
outskirts of Cairo, home to several independent TV channels, they blame | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
the liberal media for stirring up a campaign against the President and | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
the Islamist movement, including the Muslim Brotherhood. Clashes | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
have continued to flare up. Both sides plan big new demonstrations | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
tomorrow, raising fears of a major new confrontation. So the army have | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
been strengthening their defences. The Egyptians are resigned to the | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
crisis continuing with the ever- present danger of even more | :20:43. | :20:52. | |
violence. Well let's discuss some of this | :20:52. | :21:02. | |
:21:02. | :21:03. | ||
with He ba Mo oira w. What do you think is wrong with | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
this? I am concerned about the substance of the rights of pro text. | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
What we have in the draft is less protection rights. The way that the | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
constitution is designed to give the state to basically limit every | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
right in the constitution on the grounds of public morality or | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
preserving the true nature of the Egyptian family it is broad | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
language that can be used to undermine the essence of the | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
protections. You say there was a line there to | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
preserve the true nature of the Egyptian family, I would be | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
surprised if anyone opposed that. It sounds innoccuous? I think that | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
people care about human rights. That was part of the uprising. | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
But they care about the family? They do, but we don't want to see | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
as a government, given the discretion to define what the true | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
nature of the family is, to be allowed to use that to limit every | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
right. So for example, the freedom of religious it does not protect | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
people to religious practise, those who are not either Muslim, | :22:07. | :22:14. | |
Christian or Jewish. Prohibition of expression it prohibts insulting | :22:14. | :22:23. | |
anyone, the pro-ets, but I care about this. There has been a spike | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
in blasphemous of pro-ets. There is an athiest man from prison, he | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
could be sentenced because of this. This is what we do not need to see. | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
It must be said that the freedom and Justice Party, the party of the | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
President says it is open to discussion on many issues. They | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
accuse the activists of pulling out of negotiations of the drafting | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
Committee on the constitution. They -- there are, as ever, two sides to | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
the argument raging in Egypt. George, thank you. | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
To let you know, there is more on the second anniversary of the Arab | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
Spring online. Here is the address: The President of The European | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
Commission has indicated that Scotland would have to re-apply to | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
join the EU if it became an independent country. The warning | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
will come as a blow to the First Minister, Alex Salmond, who says | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
that Scotland's membership would not be thrown into doubt by | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
independence. Jose Manuel Durao Barroso told | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
BBC's hard talk, that a new state would have to apply to join the EU. | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
If one part of a country, I am not referring to anyone specific, but | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
they want to become an independent state, of course, as an independent | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
state it has to apply to the European membership, according to | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
the rules. Jose Manuel Durao Barroso there. | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
Well, let's talk to Lorna Gordon who joins us from Glasgow. How big | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
a blow is this? Well, it will be an important issue for voters deciding | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
on whether or not they want Scotland to become independent in a | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
little less than two years' time. I think that is unlikely. I think | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
that the issue for voters is whether they feel that Scotland, | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
that they will feel better or worse off if Scotland were to become | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
independent, but it is true to say that the SNP are having to art late | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
their arguments on the subject again, again and again. Their view | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
is that Scotland would remain within the European union as it | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
negotiated its terms to continue within the European Union. What | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
they are saying, is if you woke up and Scotland were independent, | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
people voted in that direction, and people woke up to find themselves | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
in that position, that they would not have to find themselves out of | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
the United Kingdom, but remaining in it for a couple of years and | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
when they were in the United Kingdom that they would continue to | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
negotiate in the EU at the same time. These are political arguments, | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
they will continue to run and run. Lorna, thank you. | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
Nine people have been charged after the Manchester football Derby over | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
the weekend at which a coin was thrown at and hit Rio Ferdinand. | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
Manchester City apologised saying it condemned the incident | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
unreservedly.$$NEWLINE It was the tensest of Derbys with the most | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
dramatic of finishes. COMMENTATOR: They get there! United | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
have won it. But as they celebrated the late win, | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
this happened. Rio Ferdinand struck by a missile, just inches above the | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
eye. As the blood started to trickle he was confront bid a City | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
fan who had to be restrained by the keeper Joe Hart. Finally, Rio | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
Ferdinand got treatment, but it was an ugly scene. He was not badly | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
hurt. A few hours later, he was a guest on X Factor with no lasting | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
damage, but for United and for football, yet more concern. | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
There was the same thing at Chelsea it is masked by the carry on, seats | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
thrown, coins, lighters and nothing is said or done about it. It is a | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
problem. Manchester City ab publicly | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
apologised to Rio Ferdinand. They are reviewing footage, but the | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
events raised questions about the safety and the security inside | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
football grounds. Wayne Rooney had missiles thrown at him. There are | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
now suggestions that a protective netting behind the goals could be | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
required. You look at other sports where it | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
does not affect the view, but at the same time it can be protective | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
against missiles thrown. I feel it is sad when we are talking about | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
very few people out of literally hundreds of thousands who go to the | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
games, but still, it is something that we cannot ignore. | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
The police are still trying it identify who threw the object at | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
Rio Ferdinand, but once again, football has been scarred by | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
controversy. They were the most successful girl | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
band of all time, selling more than 08 million records. Now the Spice | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
Girls, or their songs are taking to the stage. The new musical, called | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
Viva Forever written by Jennifer Saunders premieres tomorrow night | :27:16. | :27:23. | |
in London's West End. # Welcome to the world. # | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
Friendship never ends. The Spice Girls once sang it. Neither for the | :27:28. | :27:34. | |
foreseeable future, will their music end. | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
This is not a musical about the Spice Girls. There are no | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
characters called Sporty, Mel or Posh. It takes their music and uses | :27:43. | :27:49. | |
it to tell a new story. Which as theatrical concepts go, may sound | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
familiar. # Just one look... # Mamma Mia! Did | :27:53. | :28:00. | |
the same with the songs of ABBA. It has been seen by more than 15 | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
million theatre goers across the world. The brainchild of Judy | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
Kraymer, this time, she has teamed up with Jennifer Saunders. | :28:08. | :28:14. | |
I was nervous about it. I had never done a musical before. It is quite | :28:14. | :28:21. | |
different a kettle of fish, within my oueve. You have to work the | :28:21. | :28:26. | |
songs into a narrative. The songs that don't necessarily contain a | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
narrative. That was the biggest challenge. We spent months | :28:31. | :28:37. | |
listening to songs, trying to work out the lyrics where a story would | :28:37. | :28:39. | |
happen. Viva Forever tells the story of a | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
group of girls seeking stardom and its impact on friends and family. | :28:45. | :28:49. | |
So pretty familiar territory for those whose songs I spired it. | :28:49. | :28:56. | |
When I watch the show I feel incredibly proud and excited. It | :28:56. | :29:02. | |
really touches my heart. I love us... It does bring up a lot | :29:02. | :29:07. | |
of feelings. I felt a little tearful, definitely. | :29:07. | :29:14. | |
They are songs that shaped 1990 pop and brought girl power to the world. | :29:14. | :29:22. | |
Time to see if Theatreland Willem brace the music of the Spice Girls. | :29:22. | :29:27. | |
-- women embrace the music of the Spice Girls. | :29:27. | :29:30. | |
Spice Girls. Now the weather. | :29:30. | :29:35. | |
It will get colder over the next few days, but there are changes | :29:35. | :29:40. | |
coming up later in the week. For today, we are looking at a fine | :29:40. | :29:43. | |
afternoon with clear skies. Chilly winds coming down from the North | :29:43. | :29:46. | |
Sea. Feeding in cloud over the eastern areas of Scotland. | :29:46. | :29:50. | |
Otherwise lots of sunshine, especially over the central and the | :29:50. | :29:55. | |
western areas. The sunshine it is not doing a great deal for the | :29:55. | :29:58. | |
temperatures, still cold at 1 Celsius. | :29:59. | :30:04. | |
-- at one Celsius. In the south there are patches of | :30:04. | :30:10. | |
cloud, pushing down from Lincolnshire to Essex. It will turn | :30:10. | :30:14. | |
cloudy and possibly a few showers there. The west of England and | :30:14. | :30:19. | |
Wales, not a cloud in the sky. Overnight, with the clear skies in | :30:19. | :30:24. | |
place, the temperatures dropping like a stone in. The east patches | :30:24. | :30:28. | |
of cloud drifting in from the North Sea, possibly bringing a dusting of | :30:28. | :30:32. | |
snow to Norfolk. In the towns and the cities, there | :30:32. | :30:39. | |
is a touch of frost. In the countryside a really cold night alt | :30:39. | :30:45. | |
minus five Celsius. Possibly minus nine Celsius in | :30:45. | :30:52. | |
Grampian and patches of snow in the north. Some dense patches of | :30:52. | :30:57. | |
freezing fog may linger all day. Where it happens temperatures will | :30:57. | :31:02. | |
not get above freezing, it will feel cold and temperatures down on | :31:02. | :31:06. | |
this afternoon. Highs this afternoon of about three | :31:06. | :31:09. | |
Celsius. Wednesday, a quiet day with sunshine and fog patchs to | :31:09. | :31:14. | |
start off the day. A south-westerly breeze blowing in milder air in the | :31:14. | :31:20. | |
south-west of England. That is a hint of the change to come. We lose | :31:20. | :31:25. | |
the area of high pressure. Towards the end of the week we see the low | :31:25. | :31:29. | |
pressure swinging off the Atlantic bringing wet and windy conditions | :31:29. | :31:34. | |
by the time we get to Friday. For Thursday's weather, a quiet picture. | :31:34. | :31:38. | |
Bright with sunny spells. The temperatures on the cold side with | :31:38. | :31:44. | |
highs of one to four Celsius. To the south and to the west, milder | :31:44. | :31:49. | |
air pushing in with cloud and rain. By Friday, the weather could be | :31:49. | :31:54. |
