:01:58. > :02:02.motion of confidence which could topple the government of George
:02:02. > :02:05.Papandreou. Even though his idea of a referendum on the European bail
:02:05. > :02:09.out deal was officially abandoned today, Greece continued to cast a
:02:09. > :02:13.long shadow over the G20 in Cannes. Leaders left the summit tonight
:02:13. > :02:17.with plans and pledges of action but no detail. We'll bring you more
:02:17. > :02:27.on that in a moment, but first let's cross to our Europe editor,
:02:27. > :02:29.
:02:29. > :02:33.Gavin Hewitt, in Athens. What did Mr Papandreou have to say? It was a
:02:33. > :02:38.highly personal speech. He said the opportunity of a new debt deal must
:02:38. > :02:43.not go to waste. He also said snap elections would be a catastrophe,
:02:43. > :02:47.would endanger the deal. He called for a wider coalition. He said he
:02:47. > :02:51.was ready to discuss who would lead this new government. He did not
:02:51. > :02:57.mention the word resignation. All of this followed a day when he came
:02:57. > :03:04.under increasing pressure. Outside the Greek parliament,
:03:04. > :03:06.evening protesters, waiting to know whether an era is ending. Whether
:03:06. > :03:13.the Prime Minister, George Papandreou, will survive a vote of
:03:13. > :03:16.confidence. MPs arriving know that the stakes are high. If the Prime
:03:16. > :03:21.Minister falls, will political turmoil followed, delaying reforms
:03:21. > :03:26.and further damaging the eurozone? George Papandreou gambled by
:03:27. > :03:31.proposing a referendum on the EU's bail out package. After markets
:03:31. > :03:36.plummeted, he performed a giant U- turn and scrapped the poll. Tonight,
:03:37. > :03:41.he gave this dramatic speech to parliament.
:03:41. > :03:44.TRANSLATION: I have spoken about the need for national unity, the
:03:44. > :03:54.need for national corporation. I have said it before and I will say
:03:54. > :03:55.
:03:55. > :03:59.it again, I do not care if I am not elected Prime Minister again. I
:03:59. > :04:05.want you to give me a vote of confidence for the good of the
:04:05. > :04:10.country. Not just in Parliament, but across
:04:10. > :04:16.the country, there is one overriding question. Should he stay
:04:17. > :04:21.as Prime Minister? Mr Papandreou, I think he is going. I have the worst
:04:21. > :04:25.opinion of him. Not only me, all of the Greek people, all of Europe,
:04:25. > :04:29.all of the world. The expectation was that tonight's vote would be
:04:29. > :04:34.close, with some MPs even from his party's saying that whatever the
:04:34. > :04:37.outcome he should make way for somebody new. If George Papandreou
:04:37. > :04:42.loses the vote here, most probably Greece is heading for elections
:04:42. > :04:46.with all the uncertainty that that would involve. If he wins, the big
:04:46. > :04:50.question is whether he will try to engineers staying in power. In a
:04:50. > :04:54.day of high drama, it was apparent that as MPs arrived for the vote,
:04:54. > :04:59.some within his own party were openly pushing for a government of
:04:59. > :05:06.national unity without George Papandreou as leader. Do you think
:05:06. > :05:10.he can remain as Prime Minister? think he has to go on, to move to a
:05:10. > :05:14.new government, a coalition government. So we have to find
:05:14. > :05:18.someone that is accepted from the opposition. I cannot even tell you
:05:19. > :05:24.who that could be. Earlier, opposition MPs had made it clear
:05:24. > :05:29.that a precondition for any talks was that George Papandreou's step
:05:29. > :05:34.aside. Greece must head for another government. The broader the
:05:34. > :05:38.coalition the better. But right now, the immediate need is to have this
:05:38. > :05:43.Prime Minister walk away. He is dangerous. On the streets, they
:05:43. > :05:47.wait for the vote. The expectation is that George Papandreou's days
:05:47. > :05:52.are numbered. A leader embraced austerity in exchange for rescue
:05:52. > :05:55.loans but got no thanks for it. We are hearing their George
:05:55. > :05:58.Papandreou will go to see the President tomorrow with a view to
:05:58. > :06:03.forming, or discussing the formation of a government of
:06:03. > :06:07.national unity. Of course, a big issue is, who will lead it, and
:06:07. > :06:11.does George Papandreou imagine he may well have a chance to remain as
:06:11. > :06:14.Prime Minister? And a number of questions remain. Would the new
:06:15. > :06:19.government be stronger than previous ones? Would it be able to
:06:19. > :06:27.survive? And crucially, would it be able to persuade the Greek people
:06:27. > :06:30.to accept austerity in exchange for a further bail out?
:06:30. > :06:34.It was billed as the meeting for world leaders to save the euro.
:06:34. > :06:37.After two days of negotiations at the G20 summit in Cannes, have they
:06:37. > :06:40.done it? Well, there was some agreement but no detail or precise
:06:40. > :06:43.numbers. A decision was taken to boost the resources of the
:06:44. > :06:50.International Monetary Fund but by exactly how much has been deferred
:06:50. > :06:56.until next year. From Cannes, Nick Robinson.
:06:56. > :06:59.It was not meant to be like this, and doesn't President Sarkis --
:06:59. > :07:03.Sarkozy know it? The summit that he chaired has not done what he wanted
:07:04. > :07:08.and has not done what they wanted. The Prime Minister and President
:07:08. > :07:18.Obama said there were six weeks to save the euro. Those six weeks are
:07:18. > :07:19.
:07:19. > :07:23.up. Listen to this. They should, he went on, put pressure on Germany.
:07:23. > :07:26.Chancellor Merkel was unmoved, as were the Chinese, who have resisted
:07:26. > :07:32.pressure to pay for what the Europeans will not pay for
:07:32. > :07:38.themselves. The French president is not ready to admit defeat. He
:07:38. > :07:43.insists that the struggle for the euro goes on.
:07:43. > :07:46.TRANSLATION: We will fight to defend Europe and the Euro. It is
:07:47. > :07:51.not any amount of speculation or anyone you like who will have the
:07:51. > :07:56.last word on this issue. Europe is the best construction for the
:07:56. > :08:00.service of peace in the world. Everyone in Cannes has been forced
:08:00. > :08:04.to watch, wait and worry about events in Athens. Greece has been
:08:04. > :08:08.told in effect there is to be no new deal, no choice but to stay in
:08:08. > :08:12.or get out, no point in a referendum. No wonder they are
:08:12. > :08:17.calling it the Greek tragedy. Italy's Silvio Berlusconi could
:08:17. > :08:21.soon be waving goodbye to power as his country's finances are in chaos.
:08:21. > :08:25.He has been forced to accept that the IMF will now look at Italy's
:08:25. > :08:30.books, but has turned down their offer of cash. What the summit did
:08:30. > :08:35.not agree is who will pay what into Europe's bail out fund, or who
:08:35. > :08:40.would pay how much to the IMF, the International Monetary Fund, to
:08:40. > :08:45.ensure that no other country can go the way of Greece. For those
:08:45. > :08:51.outside the eurozone, it is all rather frustrating and all rather
:08:51. > :08:56.puzzling. I am not sure whether it was Sarkozy, ormer call or Barroso,
:08:56. > :09:00.or somebody, they joke with me that I had got a crash course in
:09:00. > :09:04.European politics over the last several days. Crash course might be
:09:04. > :09:08.an unfortunate choice of words. David Cameron is warning that every
:09:08. > :09:15.day that this crisis goes on is bad for the British economy, but
:09:15. > :09:19.claimed that the G20 had made important, workmanlike progress.
:09:19. > :09:23.Isn't it more stark then you are saying? There is no deal on the
:09:23. > :09:27.eurozone and no deal on IMF financing. All of the details have
:09:27. > :09:30.yet to be done. The problem is not that there is not a deal, but that
:09:30. > :09:34.not all of the detail, the specifics and the action have been
:09:34. > :09:38.put in place. What they cannot do is to string is out endlessly with
:09:38. > :09:43.another round of conversations, discussions and negotiations. The
:09:43. > :09:47.world cannot wait. President Sarkozy had hoped for so much from
:09:47. > :09:56.his summit in Cannes but when it comes to the eurozone the word,
:09:56. > :09:59.still, seems to be can't. So as we've heard, the G20 have
:09:59. > :10:02.agreed to boost the resources of the International Monetary Fund if
:10:02. > :10:05.needed, although no numbers were forthcoming. The IMF has also been
:10:05. > :10:08.asked to monitor the Italian government's economic reforms.
:10:08. > :10:17.Stephanie Flanders has been speaking to the head of the IMF,
:10:17. > :10:21.Christine Lagarde. What a washout. You have to ask, is
:10:21. > :10:25.the world any safer now than it was three days ago before the leaders
:10:25. > :10:29.arrived here in Cannes? This summit started with France and Germany
:10:29. > :10:33.telling Greece it could not hold the eurozone to ransom. But too
:10:33. > :10:38.many here, it felt like the eurozone was doing the same to the
:10:38. > :10:41.global economy, asking the G20 to contribute to a firewall that the
:10:41. > :10:48.Europeans could not build themselves. And the answer this
:10:48. > :10:53.afternoon came back, no, at least not yet.
:10:53. > :10:57.I asked the IMF's managing director whether she was disappointed.
:10:57. > :11:02.the moment I have sufficient resources to face requests. But if
:11:02. > :11:09.there was a crisis, if there was escalating demands, then the
:11:09. > :11:16.members of the IMF present in the room today said they will put what
:11:16. > :11:19.it takes to make sure that you can continue to play your systemic role.
:11:19. > :11:22.Even a few hours ago people, certainly on the French side and
:11:22. > :11:26.other countries, were saying we're going to see numbers in that
:11:26. > :11:29.communique, we will see an increase. Is it not the case that the rest of
:11:29. > :11:35.the World said, no, this is Europe's job and we are not
:11:35. > :11:39.coughing up more money? Everybody understands it is Europe's job. The
:11:39. > :11:44.European sitting at the table heard it. They actually said it was their
:11:44. > :11:49.job to face the crisis. Italy has asked for her help but there is no
:11:49. > :11:58.money attached to that either. coming to Italy. I might be coming
:11:58. > :12:02.to Italy, actually! Because I am invited, you see.
:12:03. > :12:07.We will go quarterly. We will check that what Italy has promised, Italy
:12:07. > :12:10.is delivering. And if it is not delivering, I will say so.
:12:10. > :12:14.problem for Italy was that its cost of borrowing was rising in the
:12:14. > :12:20.markets. It has leapt up today on hearing this news so it does not
:12:20. > :12:25.seem to be going well so far. let's see how things pan out. If
:12:25. > :12:29.you look at the way markets assess risk, it is very bizarre.
:12:29. > :12:32.taboos have been broken - Europe's leaders have formally drawn a link
:12:32. > :12:36.between Italy and the IMF, and they have openly contemplated the
:12:36. > :12:40.possibility of a country leaving the euro. Now they have to hope
:12:40. > :12:42.they have not tempted fate. Stephanie Flanders is in Cannes for
:12:42. > :12:52.us this evening. Stephanie, what's your assessment of how successful
:12:52. > :12:55.or otherwise this G20 summit has been? It is pretty hard to say it
:12:55. > :12:59.is a success. For once, they even have the expectation management
:12:59. > :13:03.wrong. Usually in these summits late last night, or even early this
:13:03. > :13:07.morning, they will say, we are not sure we will get all that we want,
:13:07. > :13:11.the negotiation is down to the wire, and then at lunchtime the
:13:11. > :13:15.communique comes out with big numbers in it. Then it takes a day
:13:15. > :13:19.or so to find the holes in it. There was almost no attempt to make
:13:19. > :13:22.that claim here. We knew, and they knew, that they tried to get more
:13:22. > :13:26.into this agreement and they had not got to support from around the
:13:26. > :13:30.table that they wanted. You could say that was a failure, but you
:13:30. > :13:35.could also say it is a reflection of reality. If this was easy to fix,
:13:35. > :13:37.they would have fixed it a long time ago. There is a reason why the
:13:37. > :13:40.situation in Greece is so unstable, so hard to predict, because they
:13:40. > :13:44.are going through something difficult. There is a reason why
:13:44. > :13:48.the French, Germans and others were unable to put the details on a
:13:48. > :13:51.rescue plan last week. They were not able to reach more agreement on
:13:51. > :13:54.the as difficult areas this week. If they could not do it in front of
:13:54. > :14:03.the world, frankly the rest of the world felt they were not in the
:14:03. > :14:07.The Ministry of Defence has named the soldier shot dead in
:14:08. > :14:10.Afghanistan yesterday. He was 21- year-old private Matthew Haseldin
:14:10. > :14:17.from 2nd Battalion and Mercian Regiment. He was killed on patrol
:14:17. > :14:22.in Helmand province. His parents just a few months and that they
:14:22. > :14:26.were very proud of him. A major accident has close part of
:14:26. > :14:30.the M5 motorway in Somerset tonight. There are reports of multiple

:14:51. > :14:55.allegations that staff were told to scale down some identity checks.
:14:55. > :14:57.Staff there are responsible for checking passports and carrying out
:14:57. > :15:02.immigration rates. Home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds is here.
:15:02. > :15:06.What can you tell us about this? understand that yesterday officials
:15:06. > :15:09.at the Home Office became aware that the end of the UK border force,
:15:09. > :15:13.responsible for making sure undesirables do not get into
:15:13. > :15:16.Britain, had admitted scaling down or opening up the borders in a way
:15:16. > :15:20.that ministers would not have agreed with, and indeed did not
:15:20. > :15:25.agree with. That caused a flurry of movement within the Home Office and
:15:25. > :15:29.the UKBA, but the result was that Brodie Clark, the head of the
:15:29. > :15:33.Borders agency, has been suspended. Another man, head of operations at
:15:33. > :15:37.Heathrow, has been suspended, and a number of other people. What we
:15:37. > :15:42.understand may have been going on, the Home Office does not know for
:15:42. > :15:45.certain, is that staff were told, perhaps when it was busy, not to
:15:45. > :15:49.check biometric passport by running them through the scanner. The
:15:49. > :15:53.biometric passport as a picture of your face inside it, and it can be
:15:53. > :15:57.used to compare with the printed version inside your passport to
:15:57. > :16:00.tell of the passport is fake. Therefore, it is a good check, and
:16:00. > :16:06.what the Home Office's does not know when this was scaled down, why
:16:06. > :16:10.and what the security implications might be. So it is a pretty serious
:16:10. > :16:14.security incident for the Home Office during the summer. They have
:16:14. > :16:19.ordered two investigations, one to find out what the risks were and a

:20:40. > :20:44.hasn't. For a quarter of a century, Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester
:20:45. > :20:49.United have been inseparable. 37 trophies, 12 league titles and one
:20:49. > :20:55.rather proud manager. You do not think it is going to happen, it is
:20:55. > :20:58.a bit of a fairy-tale, to last so long, and I appreciate that. Can I
:20:58. > :21:04.ask how much longer you would like to continue for? I will continue as
:21:04. > :21:07.long as I feel healthy enough to do it. In the fickle world of football,

:21:34. > :21:39.question, the best manager that there has ever been. I think, to
:21:39. > :21:44.play for him, you have to be a certain type. If you cannot stand

:23:25. > :23:29.The first one I did was of Nelson's Column, which was too obvious. I

:23:38. > :23:42.energetic collection of posters which clearly captures the
:23:42. > :23:47.celebratory nature of the games, but there is something slightly odd
:23:47. > :23:52.about them, unique, and not one of these posters directly references
:23:52. > :23:56.the UK or London, which is where the games are taking place.
:23:56. > :24:00.Admittedly, this poster is an abstract representation of Big Ben,
:24:00. > :24:06.but you wouldn't necessarily know it. Things were different in 1948,
:24:06. > :24:10.when London last hosted the Games. Olympic assembles old and new were
:24:10. > :24:14.overlaid on to the capital's famous landmark. So why no obvious
:24:14. > :24:18.reference to location this time around? The artists were asked to
:24:18. > :24:22.reflect the values of the Olympics and the Paralympic Games, and they
:24:22. > :24:27.also had the option to think about London, but it is the games that
:24:27. > :24:32.inspired them. Isn't that great? Artists have been associated with
:24:32. > :24:34.previous Olympic posters. David Hockney produced this piece of the
:24:34. > :24:38.1972 Games in Munich. Over the years, posters have become less
:24:38. > :24:43.literal. In the beginning, the posters were needed to give
:24:43. > :24:48.information about a place, a time and a date, but now, of course, or
:24:48. > :24:52.that kind of information is relayed electronically, supposed has taken
:24:52. > :24:57.a different sort of role, one where they are more like metaphors for
:24:57. > :25:00.the game. The organisers hope people will be dazzled by their 12
:25:01. > :25:06.posters, but they might find that there are some who are left a bit
:25:07. > :25:11.puzzled. Back to our developing story this

:25:23. > :25:27.the latest? Well, Fiona, in fact the voting has not quite begun.
:25:27. > :25:31.Some opposition leaders are still replying to the speech from George
:25:31. > :25:35.Papandreou. He had promised to start power-sharing talks to set up
:25:35. > :25:40.a new coalition without describing what his role might be in it. He
