:01:26. > :01:30.The new head of the Met promises a "war on crime" in his first TV

:01:30. > :01:33.interviews since taking over. And a key figure behind London's multi

:01:33. > :01:43.billion pound super-sewer says there might be a cheaper

:01:43. > :01:43.

:01:43. > :04:58.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 194 seconds

:04:58. > :05:08.unfortunately. Rescue teams are working tonight,

:05:08. > :05:12.

:05:12. > :05:18.driven by the hope that they will find the men alive.

:05:18. > :05:21.What are the latest developments? What they hope to do is to pump out

:05:21. > :05:24.enough water so they can send down a diver. Hopefully, that person can

:05:24. > :05:28.work through the water and find out what has happened underneath. We

:05:28. > :05:33.are told that the four are experienced, so they should know

:05:33. > :05:36.what to do in an emergency. You should, as a miner, go through

:05:36. > :05:39.drills to know what happens if there is a collapse. It is

:05:39. > :05:43.understood there are air pockets and possibly oxygen supplies

:05:43. > :05:47.available to them. However, nobody knows if they are in the right

:05:47. > :05:53.location to get to that supply, or whether they may be in another part

:05:53. > :05:56.of the mine, in another area at just a few miles down the road, the

:05:56. > :06:00.families are gathered together. We understand they are been giving

:06:00. > :06:03.information first, and constant support by police and security

:06:03. > :06:06.workers. Everyone here is very hopeful and crossing their fingers

:06:07. > :06:13.that this will be resolved successfully and that some time

:06:13. > :06:17.overnight contact will be made. Thank you.

:06:17. > :06:20.David Cameron and President Sarkozy have become the first Western

:06:20. > :06:25.leaders to visit Libya since they Gaddafi regime was swept from power

:06:25. > :06:29.last month. Mr Cameron said the NATO mission would continue until

:06:29. > :06:31.Gaddafi's remaining fighters had been defeated. President Sarkozy

:06:32. > :06:38.insisted Gaddafi was still the danger and that there was, in his

:06:38. > :06:41.words, a job to finish. From Tripoli, Andrew Harding reports.

:06:41. > :06:46.It is not quite mission accomplished, but the French and

:06:46. > :06:53.British leaders arrived here in Libya today inclined to celebrate.

:06:53. > :06:57.It is a very good day for us. We are very proud to be here. Britain

:06:57. > :07:00.played a role, which I am proud of, but in the end this was what the

:07:00. > :07:06.Libyans did themselves. I want to congratulate them and work out how

:07:06. > :07:16.we can help next as they rebuild the country. The helicopter went

:07:16. > :07:19.

:07:19. > :07:26.into the heart of Tripoli. But listen to the adulation at this

:07:26. > :07:33.hospital. It is genuine. Without NATO air support, they know they're

:07:33. > :07:43.unlikely revolution would have stumbled. Some of the injured will

:07:43. > :07:44.

:07:44. > :07:53.now come to British hospitals. It is part of a much bigger plan. On

:07:53. > :07:57.the streets of Tripoli, they are still keen for outside help.

:07:57. > :08:01.need support from the world. Not England and France, but all of the

:08:01. > :08:08.world. They helped us from the beginning for our revolution and I

:08:08. > :08:12.hope they will continue helping us, until we get to normal. It is seven

:08:12. > :08:19.years since Tony Blair first came here to try to bring Colonel

:08:19. > :08:22.Gaddafi in from the cold. Today, David Cameron is visiting what

:08:22. > :08:26.feels in many ways like a completely different country. There

:08:26. > :08:33.is still serious fighting here and plenty of political instability.

:08:33. > :08:37.But in many ways, this is a country that is stabilising every day.

:08:37. > :08:41.I have seen is impressive. This is people who want to take the lead to

:08:41. > :08:48.sort out their country. It is very important that we help them, rather

:08:48. > :08:51.than try and lecture them. Swapping gifts with the Libyan team trying

:08:51. > :08:56.to fill the political vacuum. There were hints today that Britain and

:08:56. > :09:01.France might be rewarded with oil contract by a grid formation. Mr

:09:01. > :09:07.Sarkozy insisted there was no hidden agenda. And Mr Cameron

:09:07. > :09:11.stressed that Libya's war is not over. This work is not finished yet.

:09:11. > :09:15.There are still parts of Libya under Gaddafi control. And the

:09:15. > :09:23.message, I think, to Gaddafi and all those still holding arms on his

:09:23. > :09:29.behalf is, it is over, give up. The mercenaries should go home. No sign

:09:29. > :09:36.of that, there will. Fighting today intensifying around Gaddafi's home

:09:36. > :09:41.town. His loyalists could still destabilise Libya. And yet been

:09:41. > :09:46.Benghazi this afternoon, it felt mocha victory parade. Colonel

:09:46. > :09:56.Gaddafi said he would hunt you down like rats, but you showed the

:09:56. > :10:05.courage of Lyons, and we salute your courage.

:10:05. > :10:09.A triumphant moment in Libya's messy endgame.

:10:09. > :10:13.Five of the world's leading central banks, including the US Federal

:10:13. > :10:16.Reserve and the Bank of England are taking co-ordinated action to halt

:10:16. > :10:19.the financial system. They will provide commercial banks with new

:10:19. > :10:22.loans to help ease funding pressures. The head of the

:10:22. > :10:25.International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, said the world

:10:25. > :10:30.was in a dangerous new phase which needed bold leadership, and she

:10:30. > :10:36.went on to accuse politicians of being indecisive. Gavin Hewitt has

:10:36. > :10:39.more details. On a day of gloomy forecasts, a

:10:39. > :10:42.concerted move by the world's most powerful central banks. Short-term

:10:42. > :10:46.loans are going to be made available to commercial banks.

:10:46. > :10:54.There had been growing concerns that banks were stopping lending to

:10:54. > :10:59.each other because of fears they might face losses in the eurozone.

:10:59. > :11:03.In Greece, more protests against the austerity demanded by Europe's

:11:03. > :11:06.leaders in exchange for a further bail-out. This, on a day when the

:11:06. > :11:10.eurozone was told that growth was expected to come to a virtual

:11:10. > :11:14.standstill by the end of the year. There was also a warning that a

:11:14. > :11:20.combination of weak growth and high debt was leading to a dangerous

:11:20. > :11:25.loss of confidence. This vicious cycle is gaining momentum, and

:11:25. > :11:31.frankly it has been exacerbated by policy uncertainty and political

:11:31. > :11:35.lack of resolve. Greece remains at the heart of the crisis. So far, a

:11:35. > :11:40.bail-out and austerity measures have not worked. Greece's debts

:11:40. > :11:46.have soared to 350 billion euros, and the economy is expected to

:11:46. > :11:50.shrink by 5% this year. The country needs a further 8 billion euros by

:11:50. > :11:57.mid-October to survive, with no growth it is hard to see how the

:11:57. > :12:02.country can avoid defaulting sooner or later. Italy is the other big

:12:02. > :12:07.concern. This was central Rome yesterday, after austerity cuts

:12:07. > :12:11.were adopted there. The problem with Italy is that its debts are so

:12:11. > :12:14.big it can't be rescued. This weekend the Americans will suggest

:12:14. > :12:19.to the Europeans that they should borrow against their main bail-out

:12:19. > :12:23.fund to give them greater resources, if Italy needs help. We are having

:12:23. > :12:27.plenty of noise and reassurance from politicians but the feeling is

:12:27. > :12:31.there is not enough action, not enough plans being put in place.

:12:31. > :12:35.Greece, they were cleaning up their vandalised central bank. Elsewhere,

:12:35. > :12:42.the world's Central Banks signalled they were prepared to work together

:12:42. > :12:46.to help struggling banks, and the markets judged that a positive step.

:12:46. > :12:50.With me, our economics editor Stephanie Flanders. Last night we

:12:50. > :12:53.were talking about the search for some kind of solution. Have the

:12:53. > :12:57.central banks come up with something? They have a short-term

:12:57. > :13:02.solution to a key part of the crisis which, as Gavin said, is the

:13:02. > :13:05.pressure that has been building on important European banks. You have

:13:05. > :13:09.big French and German banks that did learned a lot of money to

:13:09. > :13:11.countries like Ireland, Greece, Italy, Spain, and as those

:13:11. > :13:14.governments have come under pressure people have wondered

:13:14. > :13:17.whether the banks will get their money back. The shares have

:13:17. > :13:22.collapsed and bangs have been finding it harder and harder to

:13:22. > :13:24.raise money in the financial markets. We know from 2008 that

:13:24. > :13:28.when some banks are finding it harder to raise money that can make

:13:28. > :13:31.it hard for all banks, British banks, to raise money. If they

:13:31. > :13:34.cannot borrow, they cannot lend to businesses and consumers, so

:13:34. > :13:38.central bank governors thought this was an important problem and they

:13:38. > :13:42.said today that they will not let it happen and will make unlimited

:13:42. > :13:47.amounts of liquidity available to these banks to see them through to

:13:47. > :13:51.the end of the year. That, as Gavin said, has build confidence. But it

:13:51. > :13:54.is only the short-term problems facing the banks that it resolves.

:13:54. > :13:58.You still have a long-term debt issues of the governments in the

:13:58. > :14:01.eurozone which have not been resolved because central bank

:14:01. > :14:04.governors alone cannot deal with those. It has to be a question for

:14:04. > :14:14.policy makers, and that is something the finance ministers

:14:14. > :14:16.

:14:16. > :14:19.gather in Poland tonight very A British soldier serving with the

:14:19. > :14:26.1st Battalion the rivals has been killed in Afghanistan. The Ministry

:14:26. > :14:30.of Defence said he was shot while on patrol in Helmand Province --

:14:30. > :14:34.the 1st Battalion the rifles. A soldier has died during a

:14:34. > :14:38.training exercise in Kent. Fusilier Dean Griffiths, who was 21 and from

:14:38. > :14:41.Market Drayton in Shropshire, was shot at the Ministry of Defence

:14:41. > :14:46.training based on Romney Marsh yesterday afternoon. Kent Police

:14:46. > :14:50.have started an inquiry into the death.

:14:50. > :14:53.Police in London have arrested a 31-year-old man in connection with

:14:53. > :15:00.allegations of unauthorised trading which has cost the Swiss banking

:15:00. > :15:05.group UBS an estimated �1.3 billion. He was detained early this morning

:15:05. > :15:10.and remains in custody. UBS shares fell sharply after it announced it

:15:10. > :15:20.was investigating rogue trades, but insisted no customer accounts were

:15:20. > :15:23.

:15:23. > :15:30.The London-based trader of the giant bank UBS is alleged to have

:15:30. > :15:40.racked up unauthorised losses of �1.3 billion. Hours after eye-

:15:40. > :15:45.

:15:45. > :15:50.After at 3:30am, detectives from our force arrested a 31-year-old

:15:50. > :15:54.man on suspicion of fraud by abuse of position. The here at UBS's

:15:54. > :15:55.sprawling network of offices in the heart of the City of London is

:15:56. > :16:02.where the alleged road tray the work.

:16:02. > :16:06.His colossal losses -- rogue trader work. His colossal losses are

:16:07. > :16:11.likely to tip this huge bank back into last. It is not the money but

:16:11. > :16:14.the embarrassment that is likely to prove most painful. This is a bank

:16:14. > :16:19.that after the crash of 2008 claimed it was taking much less

:16:20. > :16:25.risk. UBS was among the banks were spurred by the last banking crisis,

:16:25. > :16:28.incurring losses of �35 billion -- worst hurt. It changed its

:16:28. > :16:33.management and the way it does business, so what went wrong?

:16:33. > :16:37.can put in these technological systems that limit how much people

:16:37. > :16:40.can trade, but in the end, the problem is, if you are employing

:16:40. > :16:46.intelligent people and they want to get around the systems, there is a

:16:46. > :16:51.chance they will find a way. That is why what is needed is a moral

:16:51. > :17:01.compass from the top of the organisation. If it turns out that

:17:01. > :17:19.

:17:19. > :17:22.Kweku Adoboli is a big time rogue After the French rogue trader was

:17:22. > :17:27.arrested, there was pressure on British banks to tighten up their

:17:27. > :17:31.scrutiny of traders. If that has not worked, what might? Unless you

:17:31. > :17:34.separate out the Wild West casino operation from the world of banking

:17:34. > :17:39.inhabited by ordinary men and women on the High Street, and ordinary

:17:39. > :17:43.businesses, we are in real trouble. That is what Sir John Vickers'

:17:43. > :17:47.Banking Commission proposed and why we have to get on with implementing

:17:47. > :17:57.that proposal as quickly as possible. This is how UPS like to

:17:57. > :18:00.

:18:00. > :18:10.see itself, a virtuoso in the Coming up, a warning that a

:18:10. > :18:13.

:18:13. > :18:16.shortage of midwives is putting Preparations have started to evict

:18:16. > :18:20.hundreds of travellers living illegally at Dale Farm in Essex.

:18:20. > :18:23.The local council has issued an open letter asking them to co-

:18:23. > :18:27.operate and leave the site peacefully. The eviction is due on

:18:27. > :18:31.Monday, following a ten-year legal battle. In their campaign against

:18:31. > :18:39.being removed, the travellers won the support of un Committee and

:18:39. > :18:41.activists from around Britain and Europe backlash of a UN committee.

:18:41. > :18:47.After weeks in which this claustrophobic and has become the

:18:47. > :18:51.unlikely object of international scrutiny, some are now leaving.

:18:51. > :18:55.Among the majority, there is no desire for physical confrontation.

:18:55. > :18:59.But there is also a sense that the travellers have already achieved

:18:59. > :19:05.unprecedented attention for their cause, something unimaginable just

:19:05. > :19:09.a generation ago. This was the Irish traveller world of all. Off

:19:09. > :19:14.roadside camps and constant movement. Of people who kept to

:19:14. > :19:17.themselves and were feared and resented by the settled community.

:19:17. > :19:22.In the 60s and 70s, Irish travellers began to emerge from the

:19:22. > :19:26.shadows and organise. Candy Sheridan, with Irish roots but

:19:26. > :19:32.raised in England, is a symbol of change. The first in her family to

:19:32. > :19:34.get a formal education, she entered politics and was elected as a

:19:34. > :19:40.Liberal Democrat counsellor. It is the women in the traveller

:19:40. > :19:44.community, she says, who are the agents of change. They don't want

:19:44. > :19:47.the poverty, the roadside living, they want their children to stay

:19:47. > :19:51.and have an education. It has politicised the parents and the

:19:51. > :19:54.mothers, they know they can go to meetings now and hold their own.

:19:54. > :19:59.is a world in a state of flux between the old ways and the new.

:19:59. > :20:02.The symbols of modern prosperity for some, alongside icons of an

:20:02. > :20:09.older religious devotion. The desire to educate the next

:20:09. > :20:13.generation, set against the pool -- the pull of the nomadic lifestyle.

:20:13. > :20:19.What would it mean to give up the travelling lifestyle? I would not

:20:19. > :20:23.give up being a traveller. We are very close, tight community. Travel

:20:23. > :20:27.up the leafy lanes near Dale Farm and the concerns of local residents

:20:27. > :20:31.are the same you will often hear from settled communities in Ireland.

:20:31. > :20:34.There is anger over or what is seen as flouting of planning laws and

:20:34. > :20:38.anti-social behaviour. We had the rubbish and three-piece suites

:20:38. > :20:41.dumped in the lane. Len Gridley said he has received death threats

:20:41. > :20:45.from his opposition to the camp. They want everything and asked to

:20:45. > :20:52.give everything. Unfortunately, we are not going to know more. We have

:20:52. > :21:00.As preparations are made for eviction, feelings on both sides

:21:00. > :21:04.are running high. Shame on you! Whatever success they have had in

:21:04. > :21:08.lobbying internationally, the fact remains that the travellers' cause

:21:08. > :21:15.is profoundly unpopular in Britain. Scenes like this are certain to be

:21:15. > :21:18.repeated, as other councils move against other illegal sites.

:21:18. > :21:22.The Royal College of Midwives is warning that the safety of mothers

:21:22. > :21:27.and babies is being put at risk in some parts of England by a shortage

:21:27. > :21:37.of staff. His says rising birth weights and increasing numbers of

:21:37. > :21:38.

:21:39. > :21:44.complicated deliveries -- it said He is three days old and getting

:21:44. > :21:49.ready to go home for the first time. His mother has stayed in hospital

:21:49. > :21:54.to make sure she gets the hang of breast feeding. She is lucky to be

:21:54. > :21:58.able to. Wansbeck Hospital is in Northumberland, one of the areas

:21:58. > :22:02.with the highest rates of midwife care, but a rising birthright --

:22:02. > :22:04.birth rate and more complicated deliveries are putting pressure on

:22:04. > :22:08.services across the country. Mothers who are happy with the

:22:08. > :22:14.level of care that they get but it is different in other parts of the

:22:14. > :22:18.country -- mothers here are happy. They are significant variations in

:22:18. > :22:23.the level of care depending on where you live. It says the

:22:23. > :22:28.shortage bridges across England but it is graced tizz in the east of

:22:29. > :22:33.England -- greatest in the east of England. Pressures are much less in

:22:33. > :22:39.the rest of the UK, because of different priorities in the health

:22:39. > :22:42.services of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Susanne Remic

:22:42. > :22:46.knows how bad it can be when midwives are overstretched. When

:22:46. > :22:49.she had her son, she was left hours without being checked, and

:22:49. > :22:54.eventually had an emergency Caesarean section after his heart

:22:54. > :22:59.stopped beating. I felt like I was just on a production line. They

:22:59. > :23:07.just wanted me to come in, have the baby and go home. There was no care.

:23:07. > :23:13.The RCM once nearly 5,000 extra midwives in our -- the RCM wants

:23:13. > :23:17.nearly 5,000 extra midwives in England. Safety goes if you don't

:23:17. > :23:23.have one to one care in labour. Something might be missed. Once we

:23:23. > :23:26.get to a really critical point, our maternity services won't be safe.

:23:26. > :23:29.The Department of Health says all women should be able to expect

:23:29. > :23:34.excellent maternity care, and record numbers of midwives are

:23:34. > :23:38.being trained. But training doesn't guarantee work. Individual health

:23:38. > :23:42.trusts decide on staff numbers, and as Leanne Petherbridge knows, many

:23:42. > :23:47.are not recruiting. She has just qualified but cannot find a

:23:47. > :23:51.midwifery job even an hour from home. Only two of her fellow

:23:51. > :23:54.students have worked for. It is soul-destroying, the fact that we

:23:54. > :23:59.are willing to fulfil those vacancies but because of the powers

:23:59. > :24:03.that be, they won't release jobs for us to apply full. The health

:24:03. > :24:07.service is being squeezed as never before, leaving many midwives

:24:07. > :24:11.asking whether pressures are about to get worse.

:24:11. > :24:14.The National Grid is considering building thousands of new

:24:14. > :24:18.electricity pylons to connect a new generation of power stations and

:24:18. > :24:22.wind farms to the National Grid. Conservationists are already

:24:22. > :24:26.battling to oppose the plans, insisting that the visual impact on

:24:26. > :24:32.the countryside will be a disaster. They say the cables should be

:24:32. > :24:36.buried underground. Our rural affairs correspondent reports.

:24:36. > :24:41.They stand as icons of an industrial age, pylon spring power

:24:41. > :24:49.from where it is generated in to the National Grid. -- pylon sprint

:24:49. > :24:53.power. They keep the lights on -- pylon us bring power. There are new

:24:53. > :25:00.state of the art designs, but for many, the pylon will always remain

:25:00. > :25:04.essential but unloved. A pylon is still a pylon. The ideal solution

:25:04. > :25:09.would be to bury power cables in the ground. That way, any intrusion

:25:09. > :25:13.into our most cherished landscapes is kept to a minimum. They have

:25:13. > :25:19.always been controversial. How about this for a bit of direct

:25:19. > :25:23.action? 1940s style. By the 1950s, the network was almost complete,

:25:23. > :25:27.even if health and safety still needed some work. All a long way

:25:27. > :25:33.from the hard hats and high visibility of the day. The one

:25:33. > :25:38.constant is that moving 440,000 volts of electricity across the

:25:38. > :25:42.countryside is hard work. What is the alternative? Conservationists

:25:42. > :25:46.insist more cables should be put underground, like here in the Wye
