Our top story: Ruling on the human rights of a mass murderer. | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
A Norwegian court decides that the authorities have violated | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
the rights of Anders Behring Breivik - guilty of killing 77 people | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
Shares slump after the carmaker admits deliberately falsifying | :00:19. | :00:28. | |
The US president meets the King of Saudi Arabia, who's been angered | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
by Mr Obama's key foreign policy of renewing relations with Iran. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
And Queen Elizabeth turns 90 on Thursday. | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
We look back at her long life and how Britain plans to celebrate. | :00:47. | :01:06. | |
A court in Norway has upheld a claim of inhuman treatment brought | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
by the mass murderer Anders Breivik, who killed 77 seven people in a gun | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
He'd claimed that his being held in solitary confinement | :01:14. | :01:25. | |
since then was a violation of the European Convention on Human | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
The court acknowledged his rights had been compromised but it | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
rejected his other claim that his right to a private | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
As he arrived in the prison gym, Anders Breivik, 37, gave his Nazi | :01:35. | :01:54. | |
salute. His case is that his treatment was inhuman and degrading. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
He said he had been deprived of sleep, kept alone in his cell for 23 | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
hours a day and been strip-searched in front of female staff. He had | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
been mobbed in the Norwegian media proclaims that the court copy and | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
microwave meals were worse than the waterboarding. He is serving a | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
sentence for murdering 69 people taking part in a Labour Party youth | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
camp in Oslo in July 20 11. He systematically hunted down and shot | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
his victims before surrounding the arm to police. Many escaped by | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
fleeing into the cold waters. Earlier, eight people had died when | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
Breivik parked van containing a bomb next to a government building in the | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
capital. It was the deadliest attack on Norway since the end of World War | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
II. The judges ruled that while the strict controls of his | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
communications were justified, his prison regime deviated so markedly | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
from that and forced upon any other prisoner that it breached his human | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
rights. State lawyers said they may appeal. I know that the court | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
disagrees with us on some of the things. That is what the court | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
system is for. We believe that there are no basis for the corrections. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
After the ruling, one survivor of the massacre tweeted that the | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
judgment showed Norway had a working court system that respected human | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
rights even under extreme conditions. | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
Another scandal has hit the car industry. | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
This time it's the Japanese car manufacturer Mitsubishi, | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
which has admitted falsifying test data to show better fuel consumption | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
for more than 500,000 vehicles in Japan, some produced for Nissan. | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
At a press conference in Tokyo, company bosses bowed in apology, | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
admitting employees had intentionally faked tyre pressure | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
figures to give better mileage rates. | :03:53. | :03:53. | |
This is the way Japanese car bosses apologise for lying to customers. | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
Mitsubishi has become the second car-maker to admit fiddling a test, | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
this time to get more miles per gallon from some of its models. | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
He says the wrongdoing was intentional and that it's clear | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
the falsification was done to make the milage look better but why, | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
he says, they would resort to fraud to do this is still unclear. | :04:20. | :04:28. | |
It's a stark contrast to the way these family friendly city cars | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Mitsubishi wasn't caught by the authorities but by a partner | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
company, Nissan, who sold the same car with a different badge. | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
Well, it all comes down to tyre pressures. | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
Your tyres are critical to how your car performs on the road | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
so they don't just affect how quickly you can stop. | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
They can affect how much pollution comes out of the exhaust pipe | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
and they can change your miles per gallon. | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
It looks like Mitsubishi altered the inflation on the tyres to cheat | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
that miles per gallon test. Lab test results have long been | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
controversial, even when car-makers played by the rules. | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
Experts say they rarely match the results you get | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
That's how much lower miles per gallon will be an average | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
across all the models we have tested when driving in the real world. | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
But on the other hand, some actually almost meet them. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
There's a big difference between different manufacturers | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
and that's caused partly by the degree to which they take | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
advantage of these things you can do around tyre pressures. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
It may not be on the same scale but months after the car industry | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
was rocked by the VW scandal, it's dealing with another | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
We have had assurances from all our members | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
which represents all the car companies that operate | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
in the UK that no illegal activity has taken place. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
And those same assurances have been given to the government as well. | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
They might have to stop the adverts for now. | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
Mitsubishi says it's double-checking but so far, | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
this only affects cars sold in Japan. | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
Tomm Kristiansen is a reporter at NRK in Norway. | :06:16. | :06:29. | |
The reaction in Norway, what is it? The reaction comes down to who you | :06:30. | :06:46. | |
are asking but the survivors who were part of this massacre four | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
years ago are shocked and find it unbelievable that a court can say | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
that his prison conditions are inhuman and degrading and against | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
human rights compare to what happened on the island four years | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
ago. The prosecutors say they will appeal to the next High Court | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
because they are very surprised that he has won over the government. If | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
the government doesn't win on appeal, does that mean his condition | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
will have to be changed? They will not be changed at the moment but | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
they might be changed later. The situation is that he is isolated 23 | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
hours a day. He is out on fresh air for one hour and he has seen no one | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
else other than his ward. He never sees on the other prisoners, he | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
doesn't see any family, nothing more than a professional visitor, and he | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
needs staff at the prison, that's all. He has three rooms when you can | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
exercise, where he has his desk, where he can cook food. These | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
things... In court, they say that his privacy is limited and it will | :08:10. | :08:18. | |
remain like that but the use of strip searching, waking him up | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
during the night, security measures, he must be behind bars or handcuffs | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
when he meets other people, all these things are against human | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
rights and is degrading his life in prison. What do you think this human | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
rights ruling says about Norway's justice system? Commentators have | :08:43. | :08:54. | |
said that this is a victory for the Norwegian law system, because this | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
is a surprise to everybody, that even a person like Breivik can get | :09:01. | :09:09. | |
his rights in court, but is it fair or not? Many people think you should | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
suffer in jail but the Norwegian law system says you are not in jail to | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
be punished by physical things or other things. It's the isolation | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
that is the punishment, not having a bad time in getting depressed. Thank | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
you so much. President Obama has had a tricky | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
diplomatic day on his fourth Saudi Arabia has always been | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
America's most important Arab ally but relations have never | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
been so strained. There were smiles and pleasantries | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
from President Obama and King Salman but away from the cameras, | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
the Saudis have made it clear they're deeply sceptical | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
of Washington's nuclear deal with their regional rival Iran | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
and of Mr Obama's approach Throw into the mix Yemen, | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
oil and human rights and you can see why most analysts are focusing | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
on the difficulties facing this The US Defence Secretary, | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
Ashton Carter, has been in the region for a few days | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
preparing for the presidential trip. He had this to say about one | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
of the issues at the forefront of today's discussions | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
with the Saudi King. The United States shares | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
with our GCC partners the view that even as the nuclear accord | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
verifiably prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
there are many more issues to be concerned with regarding Iran's | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
behaviour in the region. That's one reason why I emphasised | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
that the nuclear accord imposes no limits on the United States and that | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
what we are doing in the Department In our posture, our preparedness, | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
our planning and our partnership, the US military remains committed | :10:43. | :10:51. | |
and capable of responding to Iranian BBC Arabic's Hanan Razek | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
is travelling with the It's been a difficult day. What | :10:57. | :11:12. | |
readout are you getting about how has gone? As you mentioned, away | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
from the cameras and smiles, there are more contentious issues to be | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
tackled in this visit that comes a few months before Obama leaves the | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
White House. Obama met today with the Saudi king and as we understood | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
from the privately held conversation, they talked about | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
countering terrorism in the region and specifically about defeating the | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
so-called Islamic State which seems to be on the top of the genders in | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
this visit. However, the keyword as many observers say in this visit, is | :11:53. | :12:02. | |
I Rann. Ashton Carter met with his gal Kyle departs today and they | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
talked about what the Gulf leaders here called Iranians intervention in | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
the region. There seems to be a feel of an American attempt to reassure | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
its allies in the Gulf. Do you think the Saudis are also looking beyond | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
President Obama? He has only a matter months left in office. | :12:25. | :12:33. | |
Absolutely. This is why some analysts say this actually might set | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
the tone for the next President and this is why the Gulf leaders are | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
keen on this visit because it seems that many of them think that Obama | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
is pivoting towards Asia and that the American focus is shifting from | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
the Middle East and they want to make sure that the Middle East will | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
be present and key for the coming President and this makes... They are | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
very keen on this visit now. There is a lot of security around you, we | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
can tell. Are the frontrunners in race | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
for the White House - Donald Trump for the Republicans | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
and Hillary Clinton for the Democrats - | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
unstoppable after big wins For the Republicans, | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
Donald Trump now has the backing of 845 delegates - | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
remember the magic number for his party is 1237 - | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
with his nearest rival, For the Democrats, Hillary Clinton's | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
win in New York broke a string of gains by Bernie Sanders - | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
the magic number here is 2383 - putting her on 1930 delegates | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
compared with his 1189. She says victory for the Democratic | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
nomination is now in sight. # New York, New York... | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
# Donald Trump entered his victory | :13:49. | :14:01. | |
rally with Big Apple swagger. Frank Sinatra's great anthem echoing | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
around the atrium at the skyscraper I can think of nowhere that | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
I would rather have this victory. He won over 60% of the vote and that | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
gives him a big delegate call that moves him closer to the Republican | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
presidential nomination. We don't have much of a race any | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
more, based on what I'm Senator Cruz is just | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
about mathematically eliminated. But for all his boasts, | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
the race isn't over yet. He still can be stopped | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
if his opponents get enough delegates in upcoming | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
contests to deprive him For Hillary Clinton, | :14:43. | :14:43. | |
it's becoming far more clear-cut, and for New York's former Senator, | :14:44. | :14:55. | |
this was the happiest Today, you proved once again | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
there's no place like home. It's become almost | :14:58. | :15:07. | |
impossible for her arrival, The race for the Democratic | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
nomination is in the home stretch Many Democrats still refuse | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
to embrace her but with the Republican Party in a state | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
of civil war, are we looking This really was the night | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
of the frontrunners. Donald Trump winning | :15:28. | :15:35. | |
in the state of his birth, Hillary Clinton claiming victory | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
in her adopted political home. It really was a case | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
of New York, New York! Nick Bryant, BBC News, | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
Times Square. We can go to the studios of Politico | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
in Washington DC and talk to senior Donald Trump is arguing he has | :15:53. | :16:08. | |
brought a lot of voters to engage with the political process. Will | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
that mean he will be rewarded with the nomination? It looks like that | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
more and more now after the win in New York. Donald Trump has been | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
working the referees, pressuring them, making his case over the last | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
couple of weeks. He has suffered a couple of losses, lost delicates | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
where Ted Cruz has been able to narrow the gap. Donald Trump has | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
been saying, I am ahead, I should be the nominee. The threshold of 1237 | :16:41. | :16:50. | |
delicates he needs to hit but increasingly as he racks up this | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
huge win in New York, he is going on to five under states in the | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
north-eastern part of the country where he is leading unlikely to beat | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
Ted Cruz again next Tuesday, it's going to be very hard for people to | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
deny Donald Trump nomination once he gets to Cleveland because he will | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
close out the electoral calendar with a string of wins it looks like. | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
He will either hit 1237 get very close to it. We will go to | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
Cleveland. If he's not at that number after the 7th of June, there | :17:23. | :17:31. | |
are 200 also delegates heading into Cleveland, if Trump is 30 or 40 or | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
even 100 shy of that number, there is a growing consensus he will win | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
over enough for them to a still win this nomination on the first ballot | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
in Cleveland at the convention because a lot of established | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
Republicans, even some who do not like Donald Trump, people who do not | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
believe he can beat Hillary Clinton in November, they have come to | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
understand that the will of the voters has to be carried out and the | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
voters are speaking loudly. If Donald Trump does get the | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
nomination, normally you have this process where you energise in the | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
primaries and then think over winning moderates and independent | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
voters, can you see him wanting to tip towards the middle ground? We | :18:17. | :18:24. | |
can already see it. Someone as bombastic and unusual as him, some | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
people say there is no way he can be that malleable pivot that hard to do | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
this shape shifting were suddenly here is acceptable to all these | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
voters who say he is unacceptable. However, we are starting to see him | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
try. His speech last night, for all the glamour, Trump was toned down. | :18:42. | :18:50. | |
He referred to Ted Cruz as Senator Cruz. He was focused more on his | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
message about creating jobs, doing better trade deals. You can see the | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
imprint of the new strategist he brought in to take over his campaign | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
and get him the rest of the way. You can see his imprint on the sort of | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
toned down Trump. We have seen less of him in the news. They are | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
starting to understand that they have to demonstrate a little more | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
than ability to move to the centre. They are starting to do that now. | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
Thank you for your time. The US twenty-dollar bill | :19:24. | :19:27. | |

in Windsor and elsewhere, A long life doesn't give somebody | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
a right to a long range of such views were not in evidence | :23:06. | :23:17. | |
in the House of Commons today. She has served our nation with such | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
dignity for 64 years on the throne. I think it is what we will have | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
the opportunity in the house tomorrow to pay tribute | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
to what she has done, and I know that the whole country | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
and the whole House will want to join me in saying long | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
may she reign over us. I am also looking forward | :23:38. | :23:41. | |

almost 90, the longest reigning monarch in British history has been | :23:50. | :24:04. | |
head of state for 64 years. When famous figures die, they're | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
often described as much loved. In the case of the British comedian | :24:10. | :24:17. | |
and actress Victoria Wood, it's a perfect description - | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
both for this talented writer and for the characters | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
she created, which also made Victoria Wood died today at the age | :24:24. | :24:25. | |
of 62 so we're finishing the programme with one | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
of her signature songs - full of social insight and in this | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
case quite a helping of old-fashioned British | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
sexual innuendo. # She licked her lips, | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
she felt sublime # She switched off | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
Gardener's Question Time # Barry cringed in fear and dread | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
As Freda grabbed his tie and said # Let's do it, | :24:49. | :24:57. | |
let's do it, # I'm feeling appealing, | :24:58. | :24:58. | |
I've really got an appetite # I could handle half the tenors | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
in a male voice choir # But he said, I can't | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
do it, I can't do it # This fashion for passion turns | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
it into nervous wrecks # I'd rather watch | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
the Spinners on the television # I can't do it, | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
I can't do it tonight # So she said, let's | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
do it, let's do it # Go native, creative, | :25:32. | :25:33. | |
living in the living room # Bend me over backwards | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
on me hostess trolley # Let's do it, let's | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
do it tonight... | :25:45. | :25:55. |
