:00:08. > :00:12.Tonight at 10: Plans to reform the banking system could take several
:00:12. > :00:15.years to take effect. The controversial reforms were promised
:00:15. > :00:20.in the wake of the financial crisis and one minister says they are
:00:20. > :00:24.needed now. The uncertainty, the instability in the financial
:00:24. > :00:28.markets makes it all the more necessary that we press ahead and
:00:28. > :00:32.make our banks safe and reform them. The changes are meant to stop
:00:32. > :00:37.scenes like these from happening again but businesses say the timing
:00:37. > :00:42.is wrong. Now was not the moment. The moment is to manage growth, get
:00:42. > :00:46.growth moving and do everything we can to help keep jobs and wealth
:00:46. > :00:51.creation moving in Britain. There were hints today that the changes
:00:51. > :00:56.could be put off until after the next election.
:00:56. > :01:01.Also tonight: At Saif Gaddafi delivers another message to his
:01:01. > :01:06.father's supporters, urging them to fight on. But in Tripoli the focus
:01:06. > :01:08.is on rebuilding the city and creating a new Government.
:01:08. > :01:12.National Transitional Council has been recognised by some of the
:01:12. > :01:15.biggest powers in the world. Around here it is local people taking the
:01:15. > :01:24.decisions. Dozens of traveller families face
:01:24. > :01:29.eviction from a big site in Essex following a High Court ruling.
:01:29. > :01:34.want to stay and die in their homes. We tend assert marks the end of
:01:34. > :01:37.four years of repatriation ceremonies for the armed forces. --
:01:38. > :01:43.Wootton Bassett. And 40 years on, a controversial
:01:43. > :01:48.documentary about a British charity can finally be shown.
:01:48. > :01:58.We will take you through to the end of the August transfer window and
:01:58. > :02:14.
:02:14. > :02:17.we have a Football Focus deadline Good evening. Controversial plans
:02:17. > :02:22.to reform the banking system may not come into force for several
:02:22. > :02:26.years. The reforms are meant to protect taxpayers from the effects
:02:26. > :02:29.of any future financial crisis. The banks are warning that now was not
:02:29. > :02:35.the time in their view to make big changes but Vince Cable says the
:02:35. > :02:40.reforms are needed now. More details from James Landale.
:02:40. > :02:45.Remember this? The failing banks, the panic, the lost jobs, the
:02:45. > :02:48.disgraced bosses? The politicians lined up to share the public fury
:02:48. > :02:52.and the Government promised action to make sure it could never happen
:02:52. > :02:57.again. Now it appears their plans to reform the banks may not come
:02:57. > :03:01.into force until after the next election. Ministers like Vince
:03:01. > :03:03.Cable, visiting Edinburgh University today, insist the
:03:03. > :03:10.Government is committed to change and will push it through despite
:03:10. > :03:13.opposition from many banks. instability in the financial
:03:13. > :03:18.markets makes it all the more necessary to press ahead and reform
:03:18. > :03:21.the banks. Pressing ahead may take time. Officials admit privately
:03:21. > :03:25.that it could take years for Cameron and his colleagues to
:03:25. > :03:30.steered their reforms through the banks. There will be action to get
:03:30. > :03:34.them landing and taking few risks, but for now... We have the report
:03:34. > :03:38.still to come out from Sir John Vickers but let's see what it says
:03:38. > :03:42.before we respond to it. What are the likely reforms expected to be
:03:42. > :03:47.proposed? The main plan already backed by Government is for banks
:03:47. > :03:50.to build a firewall between their High Street operations and they
:03:50. > :03:54.investment arms so that if the riskier investment it collapses,
:03:54. > :04:01.the High Street it is safe. Many think that reform cannot come soon
:04:01. > :04:05.enough. The banks don't like it and some say the CBI would be barking
:04:05. > :04:14.mad to press ahead now. The economy is now sluggish. Do we want to make
:04:14. > :04:17.it harder for banks to even money to small businesses? A big
:04:18. > :04:22.structural change to the way banks are organised will mean they are
:04:22. > :04:25.less able to lend to businesses in Britain. This point is causing
:04:26. > :04:30.tension within the coalition. Many Liberal Democrats want swifter
:04:30. > :04:36.action, implemented before the next general election. But Conservatives
:04:36. > :04:40.want banking reform not to get in the wake of the economic recovery
:04:40. > :04:48.and they want to get it right. public want the reforms to be done
:04:48. > :04:52.properly so that we are never again as a taxpayer put in a situation of
:04:52. > :04:56.bailing out banks that have not been responsible. We should not
:04:56. > :04:59.rushing for political purposes but get it right when we do it. Nobody
:04:59. > :05:07.wants to see images like these again but putting in place as the
:05:07. > :05:11.changes to make sure they do not could take time. That could mean
:05:11. > :05:18.action will not be taken sooner rather than later.
:05:18. > :05:23.Our chief economic correspondents is in London tonight. Your word on
:05:23. > :05:27.these plans and when they should be implemented? There is no doubting
:05:27. > :05:33.the real importance of this issue for the City. There are some major
:05:33. > :05:37.banks that believe that these reforms would push up their cost of
:05:37. > :05:40.doing business is and they would have to pass it on to customers,
:05:40. > :05:43.including personal customers. Others in the business world so
:05:43. > :05:48.they do need to press on and set up a new structure to prevent
:05:48. > :05:52.taxpayers from future failures. What has emerged today is this.
:05:52. > :05:59.Into the Chancellor made his speech at the Mansion House. He said he
:05:59. > :06:04.was minded to go ahead with the main recommendations and would do
:06:04. > :06:07.so when the report came out in September. Today it seems to be
:06:07. > :06:11.complicated and legislation needs to be got right and maybe the banks
:06:11. > :06:16.need some leeway to get the systems into place after the next election.
:06:16. > :06:24.I think the reason for that change, if there is one, are the results of
:06:24. > :06:28.the events in Europe and the banking system over the past few
:06:28. > :06:31.weeks. It could be that it is a long time after the Northern Rock
:06:31. > :06:38.crisis before reform is put in place and really implemented.
:06:38. > :06:42.Thank you. In Libya a message apparently delivered by Colonel
:06:42. > :06:45.Gaddafi's son Saif Al-Islam has been broadcast on television this
:06:46. > :06:51.evening in which she promises to fight to the death and insists his
:06:52. > :07:00.father is alive and well. -- he promises. Despite progress by the
:07:00. > :07:04.rebels, there is still no sign of a Parliament being built in Tripoli.
:07:04. > :07:12.The war has swept through Tripoli and back out into the desert,
:07:12. > :07:18.taking a colonel with it. In this fragile capital, gunfire is for
:07:18. > :07:27.celebration now, not killing. And prayers for Eid, the end of the
:07:27. > :07:33.holy month of Ramadan. Just after dawn, the former Green Square, now
:07:33. > :07:42.renamed Martyr Square, was full of people and memories, of almost 42
:07:42. > :07:47.years of dictatorship. They killed our children, it said the Imam, and
:07:47. > :07:52.raped our women. He is a murderer and God will punish him. Suburban
:07:52. > :07:58.roads still have barricades put up by their residents to keep the
:07:58. > :08:03.violence of Gaddafi's fall away from them. The war had already
:08:03. > :08:11.touched Al-Antalaka Street. A NATO mistake killed a family here. Now
:08:11. > :08:16.the children, in new clothing for Eid, can play outside. And this man
:08:16. > :08:22.can say that the fighters gave their lives and he thinks it will
:08:22. > :08:27.be fine for his family now. Tripoli is feeling very local at the moment.
:08:27. > :08:31.People are looking after themselves and their families, and also their
:08:31. > :08:37.neighbourhoods. There is a backroom at the top. The National
:08:37. > :08:41.Transitional Council has been recognised by the powers around the
:08:41. > :08:44.world, but it is local people here taking the decisions. And decision
:08:44. > :08:52.making on this street start with these men. Locals that picked up
:08:52. > :08:57.guns to fight the regime, stopping to check us out. Anyone suspicious
:08:57. > :09:04.get steak into this school, requisitioned by the fighters. --
:09:04. > :09:08.gets taken to this school. These three are from Niger, they say they
:09:08. > :09:11.were picked up because they were black but they are innocent workers.
:09:11. > :09:17.Their captors went through their papers. What do you suspect them
:09:17. > :09:21.of? Most probably mercenaries but we have to do our investigations
:09:21. > :09:26.first. Everything is going to be fine. They were terrified and not
:09:26. > :09:30.very reassured when their captors, fighters from Tripoli, said there
:09:30. > :09:37.would be justice in the new Libya. The hard part is starting now. Now
:09:37. > :09:42.we are going to build our country and have creative people. We are
:09:42. > :09:49.going to produce, do everything. Men with guns still set the pace
:09:49. > :09:56.here. Not civilian politicians that have been slow off the mark. Long-
:09:56. > :10:00.term that does not equal stability. Let's catch up with tonight's
:10:01. > :10:05.events because we have one Gaddafi son promising to fight on and
:10:05. > :10:08.another offering to negotiate. What do you make of it? A little bit
:10:09. > :10:13.contradictory but the brothers always had a reputation of being
:10:13. > :10:20.different to each other. Saif Al- Islam, the man who was supposed to
:10:20. > :10:23.be Gaddafi's heir apparent. An audio tape was broadcast on a
:10:23. > :10:29.Gaddafi TV station. He said the resistance continues and victory is
:10:29. > :10:32.near. I am speaking from a suburb of Tripoli. He also referred to the
:10:32. > :10:38.home town of Sirte, which the rebels are pressing in on, their
:10:38. > :10:42.main military target at the moment. He said they were welcome to visit
:10:42. > :10:47.Sirte and 20,000 armed men are there. A very different tone coming
:10:47. > :10:52.from Saadi Gaddafi. He is almost as prominent as his brother. Used to
:10:52. > :10:55.be a professional footballer in Italy for a time. He has been
:10:55. > :10:59.sending out a number of messages saying that he is interested in
:10:59. > :11:04.negotiation, some kind of deal to stop further bloodshed, and that he
:11:04. > :11:10.is speaking with his father's authorisation. I have also spoken
:11:10. > :11:15.to a good friend of Saadi. He confirms all of that. He says that
:11:15. > :11:20.emails have been exchanged, calls are being made, and he is trying to
:11:20. > :11:27.do something at this last minute. But I think really both statements
:11:27. > :11:29.reinforce the idea that the net is tightening on them. However
:11:30. > :11:36.aggressive and boorish Saif Al- Islam is trying to sound at the
:11:36. > :11:39.moment. Thank you.
:11:39. > :11:44.A Royal Marine who died after being hit by a roadside bar in
:11:44. > :11:48.Afghanistan has been named by the Ministry of Defence today. --
:11:48. > :11:51.roadside bomb. Sergeant Barry Weston of 42 Commando died on foot
:11:51. > :11:59.patrol in the Nahr-e Saraj district. He was 40 and he had just become a
:11:59. > :12:03.father for the third time. The High Court has ruled that
:12:03. > :12:07.dozens of traveller families can be evicted from a site in Essex, the
:12:07. > :12:12.biggest of its kind in Britain. The travellers over the land but they
:12:12. > :12:20.do not have planning permission for their homes. -- the travellers over
:12:20. > :12:26.the land. Technically the eviction could start at midnight tonight,
:12:26. > :12:29.but Basildon council says they will give notice.
:12:29. > :12:34.Only divine intervention can save them now. Time and options have all
:12:34. > :12:38.but run out for the travellers of Dale Farm. Within two hours,
:12:38. > :12:46.supposedly, they must be gone by order of the courts. They say they
:12:46. > :12:53.aren't going nowhere. travellers have a will to die. We
:12:53. > :12:58.are going to stay. Die in our homes. Today lawyers argued that the
:12:58. > :13:01.eviction should be stopped because one elderly traveller, who like his
:13:01. > :13:08.eight year-old needs breathing equipment, would have her human
:13:08. > :13:11.rights breached if forced from her home. Like my dad, if he needs this
:13:11. > :13:16.machine in the night and there is no electricity, how can we get it
:13:16. > :13:20.to them? Despite the defiance, the last glimmer of judicial hope was
:13:20. > :13:30.extinguished at the High Court. One traveller said it was an act of
:13:30. > :13:30.
:13:31. > :13:35.No-one has to lose their culture. I think it's unfair that they force
:13:35. > :13:38.you to lose a culture that you were reared up all your life. For the
:13:38. > :13:42.Dale Farm travellers, they own the site. Like many, they were
:13:42. > :13:46.encouraged to buy land when the duty on local authorities to
:13:46. > :13:50.provide sites was scrapped in the early 90's, but Basildon council
:13:50. > :13:54.never gave the owners to build homes on half their land. It was
:13:54. > :13:58.unlawful, but the community put down roots. A decade on and the
:13:58. > :14:02.council are preparing to rip them up. We won't be by dawn raid or
:14:02. > :14:07.covert. The amount of plant that is necessary and road closures, people
:14:07. > :14:10.will be aware, so we will be upfront and let them know when the
:14:10. > :14:15.operation will commence and that will give the community for the
:14:15. > :14:20.travels to move off peacefully. Many locals will be delighted. The
:14:20. > :14:23.travellers are not popular and there's outrage at their refusal to
:14:23. > :14:26.obey planning rules that apply to everyone else. I've stood up for
:14:26. > :14:30.this for the last ten years. If anyone came here and lived where
:14:30. > :14:35.I've had to live and put up with what I lived with for ten years, I
:14:35. > :14:39.don't think they would last a week. How I've lasted ten years, I don't
:14:39. > :14:48.know. Tonight, the community was talking of non-violent direct
:14:48. > :14:52.action when the bailiffs arrive. Eviction may be lawful, but is it
:14:52. > :14:57.moral? Is there a clash between legal rights and human rights? Is
:14:57. > :15:07.this a showdown between conventional society and a way of
:15:07. > :15:07.
:15:07. > :15:17.life at odds with the mainstream? Still to come - America's top
:15:17. > :15:20.soldier now becomes its top spy. We'll look at his record. Earlier
:15:20. > :15:25.this evening the people of Wootton Basset marked the end of the town's
:15:25. > :15:28.role in honouring the British servicemen and women who lost their
:15:29. > :15:31.lives overseas. From tomorrow, repatriation flights will arrive at
:15:31. > :15:35.RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire. The vicar said that the town was
:15:35. > :15:42.proud to have earned the title of Royal Wootton Basset, because of
:15:42. > :15:47.the events of the past four years. They gathered on the high street in
:15:47. > :15:53.their thousands. Just as they have so many times before. But this
:15:53. > :15:58.ceremony would be difficult. No coffins or grieving families. This
:15:58. > :16:04.was Wootton Basset marking the end of its own achievements. Wootton
:16:04. > :16:09.Basset itself saying goodbye. think if anyone who sold boxes of
:16:09. > :16:13.tissues they would make a fortune here tonight, because we will all
:16:13. > :16:17.feel it. We started with a handful of people and it ended up with
:16:17. > :16:27.hundreds and everybody sort of wants to come and pay respect to us
:16:27. > :16:32.
:16:32. > :16:37.now, to say thank you for what we have done. As the sunset Wootton
:16:37. > :16:41.Basset's Union Flag was lowered one final time. What started as a small
:16:41. > :16:48.impromtu gathering four years ago, now ending with a large and formal
:16:48. > :16:54.fair well. -- farewell. During that time the flag has flown in all
:16:54. > :16:58.weathers, all seasons, at all times of day and night. Nearly 400
:16:58. > :17:03.military coffins have passed through Wootton Basset. But, now,
:17:04. > :17:11.this town's duty is done. We have done a good job and people are
:17:11. > :17:16.thankful to us. I don't think that that is foolish pride or a lack of
:17:16. > :17:22.humility. I think that it's appropriate to say well done.
:17:22. > :17:26.Tomorrow, in a symbolic handover, the flag will be brought here. This
:17:26. > :17:31.purpose-built garden, on a ring road, is where bereaved families
:17:31. > :17:36.will gather now that repatriations are returning to RAF Brize Norton.
:17:36. > :17:41.Some local people feel this place lacks the authenticity of Wootton
:17:41. > :17:47.Basset and in the crowd tonight many regretted the move. It's not
:17:47. > :17:55.going to be the same. I don't know how I feel, just a bit mixed up.
:17:55. > :17:59.There were a rot and we think it's just so -- lot and we think it's
:17:59. > :18:05.just so sad. In October the town will become Royal Wootton Basset,
:18:05. > :18:15.but before then, many will go to Brize Norton next week for the
:18:15. > :18:17.
:18:17. > :18:20.first repatriation to be held there. A 29 year-old man has been charged
:18:20. > :18:23.with the murders of three men during the riots in Birmingham.
:18:23. > :18:26.Shazad Ali, Abdul Musavir and Haroon Jahan died as they tried to
:18:26. > :18:30.protect homes and businesses from looters. The three men were hit by
:18:30. > :18:33.a car in the Winson Green area of the city in the early hours of
:18:33. > :18:36.August 10th. An 11-year-old boy has become the youngest person to be
:18:36. > :18:39.convicted of taking part in looting during the riots in London earlier
:18:40. > :18:43.this month. The boy, from Romford, took a waste bin worth �50 from a
:18:43. > :18:51.Debenhams store. He was given an 18-month youth rehabilitation order
:18:51. > :18:54.for burglary and a previous arson offence. General David Petraeus,
:18:54. > :18:57.the former US Commander of NATO troops in Afghanistan, has formally
:18:57. > :19:03.retired from the armed forces as he prepares to take over as Director
:19:03. > :19:05.of the CIA. General Petraeus, who oversaw last year's surge of US
:19:05. > :19:09.troops to Afghanistan, has been congratulated by colleagues for
:19:09. > :19:11.setting the gold standard for command in the modern era. Our
:19:11. > :19:21.North America editor, Mark Mardell, considers whether the tributes are
:19:21. > :19:22.
:19:22. > :19:28.justified by the achievements. At 58, he's something of a pin-up for
:19:28. > :19:34.an America short of heroes. A hardened warrior an inlectual and
:19:34. > :19:38.diplomat. Above all, a winner. Even on his last day in uniform, deeply
:19:38. > :19:43.political, warning against defence cuts. It would be apparent to
:19:43. > :19:50.maintain a force that not only capitalises on the extra order
:19:50. > :19:55.experience and expertise in our ranks today, but also maintains the
:19:55. > :20:03.flexibility that has been maintained. In full dress uniform,
:20:03. > :20:09.he's more comfortable in combat fatigues. He's widely praised for
:20:09. > :20:13.saving the situation in Iraq. in the face of a tough fight in
:20:13. > :20:17.Iraq and tough political climate here, he rose above it all, as he
:20:17. > :20:22.always has. In Iraq, he combined a surge in the number of troops with
:20:22. > :20:27.a new strategy, winning hearts and minds. Building up the country. It
:20:27. > :20:34.was called Counterinsurgency. would bring US troops in, along
:20:34. > :20:37.with Iraqi security forces, stay in the neighbourhood 24/7 and eat
:20:37. > :20:42.there and patrol day and night and that gained us the trust of the
:20:42. > :20:44.population. When the man in charge in Afghanistan, General Stanley
:20:44. > :20:47.McChrystal was effectively sacked by President Obama for making
:20:47. > :20:51.unflattering remarks about politicians, the President called
:20:51. > :20:53.on General David Petraeus to take his place, an even harder job with
:20:53. > :20:57.continuing arguments about the way ahead. President Obama and the
:20:57. > :21:00.General have the easiest of relationships. This is one soldier
:21:00. > :21:05.who fights as hard to win his political battles as military ones,
:21:05. > :21:10.but in the end, the President rejected his advice and went for a
:21:10. > :21:12.quicker, larger withdrawal from Afghanistan than the military
:21:12. > :21:17.wanted. General David Petraeus's favourite tratgy can take years to
:21:17. > :21:23.pay off. He's tried to make it work in months. This has been the
:21:23. > :21:27.deadliest month for American troops so far. Few think this is what
:21:27. > :21:33.victory looks like. He didn't manage to crack the nut, perhaps it
:21:33. > :21:37.is uncrackable, but even if you do 90% of everything right you still
:21:37. > :21:42.only make partial headway. He'll exchange his uniform for a suit
