David Cameron under increasing pressure over a new EU treaty. Most | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
of it is coming from his own supporters. He is facing calls for | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
Britain to win back powers from Brussels and let us decide in a | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
referendum. This summit is a defining moment. | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
Will the Prime Minister to Britain proud on Friday and showed some | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
bulldog spirit in Brussels? I want to make sure we have more power and | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
control here in the UK to determine these things. | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
Also, beating cancer, a new lifestyle tips that could prevent | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
nearly half of all cases. I stopped drinking, I took more | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
exercise, I changed the portion sizes, and I changed the types of | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
food I was eating. The Wandle filly killed, the | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
vulnerable man who died after suffering years of being taunted by | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
feral youths. The pay-day loans that leave the | :01:05. | :01:13. | |
desperate p&p more and more. Almost every ship in the harbour | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
has been hit. America remembers, 70 years on from | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
Pearl Harbour, the attack that pushed it into World War II. | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
And I am here with Sportsday, on the BBC News channel. We will have | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
the latest from Basel, and Manchester, as the Manchester | :01:32. | :01:42. | |

club's sweat on their place in the Good evening. Welcome. | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
Britain's relationship with Europe, the issue that has bedevilled | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
virtually every Conservative leader of recent years, has now become a | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
major political headache for David Cameron. On the eve of a crucial | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
summit that is likely to change the way the EU works, his own MPs and | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
supporters are asking him to grant a referendum. Among them, Boris | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Johnson, the most powerful conservative outside the Cabinet. | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
But tonight, Downing Street insisted a referendum was not | :02:22. | :02:30. | |
needed. Under pressure, the man who once | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
told his party to stop obsessing about Europe, now David Cameron is | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
having to do just that. The summit which starts tomorrow could | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
determine not just the fate of the British economy, but of a coalition | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
deeply divided on this issue. the Prime Minister to Britain proud | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
on Friday and show some bulldog spirit in Brussels? To date, one MP | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
after another leapt to their feet to ask the Prime Minister what he | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
would do to see off what they see as the threat of further EU | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
integration. This summit is a defining moment, a once-in-a- | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
lifetime opportunity, will be Prime Minister sees the moment? The Prime | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
Minister says he will not sign a treaty that does not safeguard the | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
City of London from new rules. British national interest | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
absolutely means that we need to help resolve this crisis in the | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
eurozone, it is freezing the British economy just as it is | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
freezing economies right across Europe. Note what he did not say. | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
Ed Miliband did. David Cameron was not listing the specific powers | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
that he wanted back from Europe. the European summit, what powers | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
will he be arguing to repatriate? As high if -- as I have just | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
explained... They had all noticed that the Prime Minister had not | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
really answer the question. weeks ago, he was promising his | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
backbenchers they had bargained for Europe, now he has just reduced | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
himself to hand regained. That is the reality. Aides said David | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
Cameron wants to protect his negotiating hand. There was one | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
hint of what he might do. The more that countries in the eurozone ask | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
for, the more we will ask for in return. We will judge that on the | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
basis of what matters most to Britain. Adding to the pressure on | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
David Cameron, those demanding a referendum on Europe, including | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
That man Again, the Tory mayor of London Boris Johnson. If there was | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
a new treaty that creates a kind of fiscal union within the 27 | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
countries in the eurozone, we would have no choice, either to the | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
turret or to put it to a referendum. Another Tory thinking out loud | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
about how Britain should react to maul the European integration is | :04:55. | :05:05. | |
:05:05. | :05:06. | ||
Owen Paterson. He told the What has made Britain's Euro- | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
sceptics so twitchy is the proposals of the couple, Angela | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy. They wrote a letter on ways to halt the | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
euro crisis, proposing that at least those in the eurozone should | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
know a great a tax on financial transactions, a common approach to | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
company taxes and common employment rules. Precisely the sort of agenda | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
loathed by British Conservatives. As if all that pressure were not | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
enough, David Cameron has to put whatever is agreed at the summit to | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
a Commons vote. The last vote on Europe produced the biggest | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
rebellion seen in years. We will talk to Nick Robinson in a | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
moment, but first, Our Correspondent in Brussels. | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
Controversial issues. What sort of issues are likely to come up at the | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
summit? This is a copy of the letter from the French and Germans, | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
we were talking about some of the details in it. The broad thrust is | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
that this building behind me, the European Commission, would have | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
greater oversight of national budgets across the eurozone, so not | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
Britain, but the countries that use the eurozone. If they get into debt | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
and deficit, the European Commission would tell them, advised | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
by the European Council, to get their books in order, and if not, | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
there would be sanctions. There is other stuff in here. Broadly | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
speaking, David Cameron presumably welcomes this. That is for one | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
simple reason, because this represents a consensus between the | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
two big players, the French and Germans. They have not seen eye to | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
eye through this, they have come up with a position paper at least. If | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
they can agree, it will be hoped that more eurozone countries and | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
European Union countries can be brought along, and therefore, his | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
biggest crisis that David Cameron says is tracking the British | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
economy down, this might be resolved. At the same time, it is | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
not a done deal, it is not just Britain concerned about the detail, | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
the Irish, the finish, and others. And of course, we are not going to | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
get a final solution to the eurozone debt crisis in this coming | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
summit. The Germans make it clear there will be more summits to come, | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
which means more pain for David Cameron, while they are still | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
talking about possible future treaty changes and financial | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
transaction taxes. The commission is getting it greater oversight, | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
that is the kind of issue that gets Tory MPs hot under the collar. | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
the talk of common taxes, a new tax on financial transactions, what the | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
banks do, what the hedge funds do, they make so much money here in | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
London. The talk of common employment laws, this is the sort | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
of talk that alienates so many Euro-sceptics and Conservatives. | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
David Cameron might well say, they are welcome to do it if it helps | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
deal with the eurozone, providing we do not have to do it. Providing | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
the rules ensure that if the 17 countries get closer and closer | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
together, they cannot agree other things that would be detrimental to | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
British jobs and Britain's future. There is not much trust out there, | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
no trust at Brussels, very little in Whitehall, none amongst Tories | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
of the Liberal Democrats, and not much of the Prime Minister. That is | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
why Boris Johnson has talked of a referendum, he thinks the people | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
would keep the ministers honest in a way that the ministers, left to | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
their own devices, would not be. David Cameron face is two days to | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
try to save the UWE Road, contribute where he can, try to | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
predict that Britain's national interest, try to keep his party | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
happy, to keep his coalition happy. It is easy, really! Virtually every | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
prime minister since the war has been deeply damaged by the politics | :09:01. | :09:11. | |
:09:11. | :09:12. | ||
of Europe. Here we go again. 130,000 cases of cancer every year, | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
42% of the total, could be prevented, many by making simple | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
lifestyle changes. Cancer Research UK found that smoking, alcohol, | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
nutrition and obesity or play a part. Foreman, a lack of fruit and | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
vegetables can make a higher risk. For women, being overweight plays a | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
significant role. Cancer is no longer seen as a | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
condition we cannot control. The way we live our lives and the | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
environment around us can significantly affect our risks of | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
developing it. This free shirts suggests a third of all cases are | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
caused by a four lifestyle risks, smoking, being overweight, drinking | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
and a poor diet. This woman is passionate about the importance of | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
living well to prevent cancer. Two years ago, she was diagnosed with | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
breast cancer and had to have surgery. She had no idea being | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
overweight could have been putting her at risk. She has transformed | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
her lifestyle. It was something that was a real shock to me. I had | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
lost four stone. I did that through diet and lifestyle changes. I | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
stopped drinking, I took more exercise, I changed the portion | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
sizes, I changed the types of food I was eating. Weight is one of the | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
four most significant lifestyle risks when it comes to cancer. The | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
biggest danger is smoking, which causes 90% of all cancers. A lot of | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
those are lung cancers, but smoking can lead to others, like liver and | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
kidney cancer. Having a poor diet causes 9% of cancers. That includes | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
stomach cancer, lung cancer and all cancer. Being overweight is | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
responsible for 5% of cancer cases, among them breast cancer, but also | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
cancer of the uterus and Basle. Weight is a much more significant | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
risk for women, because it plays such a big part in causing breast | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
cancer. More so even than alcohol. For men, missing out on fruit and | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
vegetables is the biggest risk after smoking. But a lot of cancers | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
are caused by age or family history, so however healthy you are, you | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
cannot eliminate your risk. study does not say that, if you | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
control these factors, you will guarantee you will never get cancer. | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
What it does say is that you can stack the odds in your favour and | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
reduce the risk the very, very considerably. Because we are all | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
living longer, more of us are getting cancer, but there are many | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
cases cannot be avoided, it is clear we can have some control over | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
our risks. Be vulnerable man who died after | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
suffering 30 years of torment by Farrell youths on the south | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
Manchester council estate where he lived was order will fully killed, | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
the, has ruled. David Askew had learning difficulties and a mental | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
age of 10. The inquest heard of constant harassment by local | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
youngsters. David Askew was 64, but had | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
learning difficulties and a mental age of 10. For 30 years, he lived | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
with the two wards from youth, called names and pelted with sticks | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
and stones. In March last year, after being pestered for cigarettes, | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
the pensioner collapsed and died outside his house in Greater | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
Manchester. He lived with his mother, Lucy. She cried, giving | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
evidence to the inquest, and she released a statement, reacting to | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
the verdict of or unlawful killing. Why am still angry about what | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
happened, but there is no use hating people. Since we moved, the | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
people here have been especially nice, there are children and | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
teenagers who of very polite, friendly, and they will speak to | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
you. Not all teenagers are like the ones who targeted David, and we are | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
made to feel very welcome. family spoke of their years of | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
torment, some captured on this mobile phone footage, which shows | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
David's brother trying to get the youths to leave. The coroner | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
criticised local agencies for inertia and complacency. The family | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
called the police 88 times between January 2004 and March last year, | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
when he died. Tonight, Greater Manchester Police have said that | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
the force have learned lessons from what happened, and they have made | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
significant improvements to the way officers deal with anti-social and | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
disability hate crimes. This man pleaded guilty to harassing David | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
Askew before he died, but the Crown Prosecution Service ruled there was | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
not enough evidence to bring manslaughter charges. The coroner | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
said that although he is prevented from naming any individual as | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
responsible for the pensioner's death, he was on offer are killed. | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
-- unlawfully killed. Bashar Al-Assad has given a defiant | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
interview, saying he does not feel guilty about the tax -- attacks by | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
the army on the anti-government protesters, though he is sorry for | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
the lives that have been lost. He said there had been no shoot-to- | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
kill policy. The United Nations estimates more than 4000 people | :14:17. | :14:27. | |
:14:27. | :14:28. | ||
With astonishing bravery, Syrian unarmed protesters have come out | :14:28. | :14:36. | |
day after day to face machine guns, snipers and armoured vehicles. The | :14:37. | :14:46. | |
cost so far: At least 4,000 dead. That in his interview with ABC, | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
President Assad denied killing his own citizens. We don't kill our | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
people. No government in the world kills its people and less it is led | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
by a crazy person. -- unless. I became president because of public | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
support and it is impossible for anyone in this state to be ordered | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
to kill. We saw a different picture in a week of travelling inside | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
Syria. In the city of Homs, this woman catalogues her losses. | :15:19. | :15:29. | |
TRANSLATION: my son was shot dead at a protest. Then her grandson was | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
killed by a sniper while out to buy bread. A few days after speaking to | :15:33. | :15:43. | |
us, she was shot dead in the street. The demonstrators are sick of such | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
denial. Be started off with a simple call for reform. Now they | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
want the President to go. A UN report accuses him of hanging on | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
using mass arrests, torture, sexual assault of protesters and killing | :16:00. | :16:09. | |
300 children. Send us the documents. As long as we don't see the | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
document with the evidence, just because the United Nations safe. | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
Who says the United Nations is a credible institution? You do not | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
think the United Nations is credible. You have an ambassador to | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
the United Nations? It is a game we played. The Syrian government calls | :16:29. | :16:38. | |
these men terrorists. They say they have taken up arms after months of | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
killings by the regime. Assad seems to accept there has been excessive | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
force by police and troops but he says that these were individual | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
acts and not policy. That will be treated with scorn by the | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
demonstrators and the international community is concerned that Syria | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
is moving from crack down into something that more and more | :16:59. | :17:09. | |
:17:09. | :17:09. | ||
resembles civil war. Our top story tonight: David | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
Cameron under increasing pressure over a new EU treaty and most of it | :17:13. | :17:23. | |
:17:23. | :17:24. | ||
is coming from his own supporters. Coming up: December 7th, 1941, a | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
date which will live in infamy. Remembering the moment America was | :17:29. | :17:37. | |
forced into World War Two. Later on the BBC News Channel. Pay- | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
day loan applications soar but of the interest rates if they? And | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
Dubai premieres mission impossible but can the city turned a profit | :17:47. | :17:57. | |
As Christmas approaches, there is evidence more people are taking out | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
short-term loans with high rates of interests to make ends meet. So- | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
called pay-day loans have become increasingly common. They can | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
charge interest rates equivalent to 5000 % a year, which leaves some | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
people caught in a debt trap from which it is almost impossible to | :18:13. | :18:20. | |
escape. It is the season to be spending. | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
Many families feel real financial pressure at Christmas and some will | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
need a little help to make it through the month. Pay-day loans | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
allow people to borrow small sums of money on a short-term basis | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
until they get their salary. It is a relatively expensive option but | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
it is one that some people have to consider. The kids are expensive | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
and obviously, with it been so cold, extra gas and electric on coming up | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
to Christmas. We sometimes need that little bit of help to get you | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
through to the next pay day. Would you consider it again? Yeah. She is | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
not alone. A study by an organisation which has worked with | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
people with financial problems suggest 40% of people struggle to | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
make it to pay dead and 60% are worried about their current level | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
of debt. -- naked to pay-day. People can expect to pay up to �30 | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
for every �100 they borrow, provided they do so within one | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
month. High interest rates meaning waiting mums can lead to the dead | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
multiplying. My friend struggle and they have used them and, no... It | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
is no good. They take back what they want and if you do not pay it | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
on time, you are charged again and again and again. The companies | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
offering pay-day loans point out that people have to have a job and | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
a bank account in order to get one, but today's research suggests that | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
one in six of those who do borrow on zombie debtors. Basically, they | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
have enough to pay off the interest but not the debt, and that means | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
they keep on playing. They are designed to manage your short-term | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
cashflow. They are not for long term borrowing and dealing with | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
major issues. They are for dealing with those issues wave you need a | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
couple of hundred pounds for a few weeks. And some are well aware of | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
the dangers of ignoring interest rates. I am so scared of paying | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
back more than I can budget for. But not heeding the warnings about | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
making repayments could make this a very costly Christmas. | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
The BBC has learned that the Metropolitan Police is | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
investigating allegations that the News Of The World may have | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
illegally obtained details from medical records. The development | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
comes on the same day that detectives investigating phone | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
hacking investigated private investigator, Glenn Mulcaire. What | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
details do we have? We know that Glenn Mulcaire is | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
currently being held at a police station in London on suspicion of | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
conspiracy to hack voicemail messages and pervert the course of | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
justice. It follows his arrest early this morning at his home in | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
Surrey. He has already been jailed for six months for hacking the | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
phones of royal aides, where Prince William had left messages, and for | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
hacking phones belonging to other public figures, for example, the | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
model Elle Macpherson, but that was back in 2007 that he was jailed, | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
before this investigation, Operation Weeting, had been | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
launched this year. Things then, a huge amount of new information on | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
phone hacking has come into Scotland Yard, including 300 | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
million e-mails provided by News International. And number of | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
arrests have already occurred and Glenn Mulcaire's is the 20th arrest | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
as part of this operation. A 40-year-old man from | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
Buckinghamshire has been charged with the murder of teenager Rachel | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
Manning who disappeared after a night out in Milton Keynes in 2000. | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
Her boyfriend at the time served six years in jail before being | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
cleared of the killing on appeal. Today Shahidul Ahmed appeared | :22:08. | :22:17. | |
before magistrates. This was Rachel Manning in her 60s | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
week at a fancy dress party in Milton Keynes. She is with her | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
boyfriend, Barri White. That night they had an argument. She was on | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
her way home when she disappeared. Two days later, her body was found | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
dumped by a golf course. She had been strangled and beaten. In 2002, | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
Barri White was convicted of her killing. He spent six years in | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
prison before being acquitted. His friend served two and a half years | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
for perverting the course of justice. He was also an innocent | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
man. Today, at Milton Keynes Magistrates' Court, more than a | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
decade since Rachel was killed, another man was charged with her | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
murder. Barri White was there to see it. It has been 11 years. | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
Hopefully we can get closure. Justice will come to Rachel and she | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
will be able to be at peace and it will all go away. It must be | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
terrible for her parents have in the sport up again. This is the | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
area in which the body was found and just a couple of hundred metres | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
away was the murder weapon. In 2005, the BBC's Rough Justice programme | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
came back here and what they found out helped to reopen the case. | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
Looking at how steep it is... looked at all elements of the case. | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
They brought in new experts to re- examine the forensic evidence. The | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
program believed that the conviction was not safe. Now, | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
Rachel's parents will have to sit through another trial in the third | :23:50. | :24:00. | |
:24:00. | :24:00. | ||
to justice for their daughter. -- in their search for justice. | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
70 years ago today, Japanese aircraft launched a surprise attack | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
on US forces at Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian islands. 2,000 Americans | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
died and thousands more were injured as warships were sunk at | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
their moorings and bases bombed ashore. Today, on the 70th | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
anniversary, America has been remembering those who lost their | :24:16. | :24:25. | |
lives in the event that propelled the country into World War Two. | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
In Pearl Harbor today, they gathered. The survivors of a | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
surprise assault from the skies that would transform the second | :24:33. | :24:42. | |
:24:43. | :24:44. | ||
world war. December 7th, 1941. A date which will live in infamy. | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
words of President Franklin Roosevelt, capturing the shock and | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
fury of a nation under attack. conform to poets -- unconfirmed | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
reports are that almost every ship in the harbour was hit. | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
Japanese struck at first light. 18 navy vessels were sunk or damage, | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
2500 killed. It shows what Pearl Harbor look like five minutes | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
before the war started. When the attack began, Robert was on board a | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
ship reading a Popeye comic. first we thought that one of the | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
ships had a fire alarm and we went up to put it out and we soon | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
discovered planes flying around with Japanese flags painted on the | :25:29. | :25:39. | |
side, and it immediately changed to, we know we are at war. As with 9/11, | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
six decades later, Pearl Harbor shattered America's sense of | :25:44. | :25:52. | |
impregnability. Here also, the US would quickly declare war and like | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
9/11, there were consequences on the home front. Japanese Americans | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
were branded enemy aliens. Among them, the man who now represents | :26:02. | :26:09. | |
her weight in the Senate.... Things that we look back upon and say, we | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
must have been nuts. That is what it is. War it is a nutty thing, it | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
is insanity. Of those who survived, the very youngest are today in | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
their late 80s. There veterans Association will be disbanded at | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
the end of the year, with numbers remain, and so a short time ago, | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
the final moment of silence for those they knew and lost in a | :26:32. | :26:42. | |
:26:42. | :26:47. | ||
remote place where history turned. I am afraid we are into some very | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
heavy weather indeed. Exceptionally strong winds across the north of | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
the UK. Snow and ice could cause problems in the next few days as | :26:56. | :27:06. | |
:27:06. | :27:09. | ||
Overnight it will turn wet and increasingly windy for Northern | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
Ireland and western Scotland in particular, and if that moves | :27:12. | :27:21. | |
eastwards, it will turn into snow. Be aware of that at 8 o'clock in | :27:21. | :27:28. | |
the morning. Several centimetres of snow. Perhaps the risk of flooding, | :27:28. | :27:34. | |
and then perhaps the risk of damaging winds. We have high | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
confidence in high-impact winds, particularly through the central | :27:37. | :27:43. | |
belt of Scotland. Perhaps best of over 80 mph. This will cause some | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
damage. Also parts of Northern Ireland and other parts of Scotland | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
and northern England could be badly affected, too. We will see wet | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
weather sweeping down into England and Wales later in the day tomorrow. | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
Squally winds associated with that. Technically at least it will be | :28:03. | :28:09. | |
mild for a time, but turning colder later on across the North. Damaging | :28:09. | :28:15. | |
winds for eight time across parts of northern England. -- for a time. | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
The rain will turn increasingly cold. Showers in the northern half | :28:19. | :28:25. | |
of the UK turning wintry. The snow could be disrupted across the North | :28:25. | :28:31. |
