:00:26. > :00:32.safeguards too and as long as we get those then that treaty can go

:00:37. > :00:40.A pointed joke by the French about high tax Britain reveals the
:00:40. > :00:43.underlining tensions as the summit approaches. We will be looking at
:00:43. > :00:48.the pressures on Mr Cameron from European partners and from
:00:48. > :00:52.Conservative colleagues. Also tonight:

:01:50. > :01:53.Chelsea's make or break match Good evening. The Prime Minister is
:01:53. > :01:57.threatening to veto any new treaty aimed at saving the single currency
:01:57. > :02:00.if it doesn't protect British interests. In particular, he wants
:02:00. > :02:05.to safeguard London's position as Europe's most important financial
:02:05. > :02:11.centre. The new treaty, being put forward by Germany and France, is
:02:11. > :02:16.due to be discussed at a crucial EU summit in Brussels later this week.
:02:16. > :02:21.Our political editor, Nick Robinson, has the story.
:02:21. > :02:24.He will be just one amongst 27 when the EU leaders meet to save the
:02:24. > :02:29.euro, one representing a country not even in the euro. But today
:02:29. > :02:33.David Cameron insisted he would veto a deal if it didn't protect
:02:33. > :02:36.Britain's interests. What I am saying is that if and eurozone
:02:36. > :02:40.countries do need to come together, do need to do more things together
:02:40. > :02:44.f they choose to use the European treataway to do that Britain will
:02:44. > :02:48.be insisting on safeguards too and as long as we get those then that
:02:48. > :02:53.treaty can go ahead. If we can't get those, it won't.
:02:53. > :02:56.The Prime Minister says he will only sign if all 27EU countries
:02:56. > :03:00.agree to safeguard Britain's interests. To keep the single
:03:00. > :03:04.market fair and open and to protect our financial services industry
:03:04. > :03:09.from damaging new rules. If he doesn't sign, the 17 countries that
:03:10. > :03:13.use the euro could sign a deal on their own, effectively forming a
:03:13. > :03:17.new European club. That was the implied threat
:03:17. > :03:21.yesterday coming from Germany's Chancellor, Merkel when she met
:03:22. > :03:26.France's President Sarkozy in Paris, where the talk is of a superEurope
:03:26. > :03:31.being formed by Europe's new supercouple. Some eurosceptics here
:03:31. > :03:35.want Britain to go back to the future. It was the worst tempered
:03:35. > :03:42.summit Mrs Thatcher or any of the other leaders... When she was Prime
:03:42. > :03:47.Minister, Margaret Thatcher fought and fought get a British rebate.
:03:47. > :03:51.is asking the community to have our own money back. Many Tories now say
:03:51. > :03:55.that it's time her successor demanded not just our money back,
:03:55. > :04:01.but powers, too. But the man who was Margaret Thatcher's Chancellor
:04:01. > :04:05.says different times require a different approach. I think now is
:04:05. > :04:09.the time to make it quite clear we are not going to be a pushover, but
:04:09. > :04:13.clear that we do have perfectly reasonable demands on which we are
:04:13. > :04:17.going to insist but we are not going to try and stop them dealing
:04:17. > :04:20.with the immediate eurozone problems by diverting to these
:04:20. > :04:25.things, that will come later. Prime Minister isn't short of
:04:25. > :04:28.advice on thousand handle this summit, Britain's last Foreign
:04:28. > :04:32.Secretary warns that tough talk could actually lead to less
:04:32. > :04:36.influence. David Cameron faces a real trap from those in his own
:04:36. > :04:39.party who are spoiling for a fight that would bring Britain out of the
:04:39. > :04:43.European Union. The trap is that in the end the other countries will go
:04:43. > :04:47.ahead on their own and not just decide economic policy for the
:04:47. > :04:50.eurozone, they'll end up designing policy for the whole of the
:04:50. > :04:54.European Union and that will put Britain in the second division, a
:04:54. > :04:57.place it's tried to avoid for at least 40 years. Downing Street hope
:04:57. > :05:01.that things have improved since the French President told the Prime
:05:01. > :05:09.Minister we are sick of you criticising us, and telling us what
:05:09. > :05:12.to do. Although today at the launch of tkpwaoble's -- Google's HQ Mr
:05:12. > :05:19.Sarkozy jokes French people were leaving London because taxes were
:05:19. > :05:23.going up. Because... He meant business-friendly and insisted it
:05:23. > :05:26.was just a joke. But asked don't tell David Cameron, because I like
:05:26. > :05:31.him. Friendships and understandings are
:05:31. > :05:38.one thing, this is the week when national interests count and next
:05:38. > :05:44.week parliaments get their say. How meaningful is Mr Cameron's
:05:44. > :05:50.threat given the ability of the eurozone countries to go it alone.
:05:50. > :05:53.Let's tourpb Nick. What's -- turn to Nick. What's your reading?
:05:53. > :05:57.will be people throughout Europe saying it's unlikely that David
:05:57. > :06:01.Cameron would be willing to veto a treaty, particularly if it was one
:06:01. > :06:05.that would stablise the eurozone because after all, he said even
:06:05. > :06:08.though Britain never joined the single currency it's primarily in
:06:08. > :06:11.this country's interests that situation is sorted out and yet
:06:11. > :06:15.Downing Street officials are saying tonight, and the Prime Minister in
:06:15. > :06:20.his own words in the Times, is insisting that he is willing to say
:06:20. > :06:24.no to a treaty of all 27 for a very particular reason, because those
:06:24. > :06:29.countries who might think well forget that, let's go on our own,
:06:29. > :06:32.let's just the 17 in the eurozone form a new set of rules, Mr Cameron
:06:32. > :06:36.has another threat, if you try to do that, he says, we and others
:06:36. > :06:41.will resist the idea of using the officials of the EU, the
:06:41. > :06:44.institutions of the EU, the European Court as well in
:06:44. > :06:49.Luxembourg, in order to support the eurozone. So don't think you can
:06:49. > :06:54.get around us that way. It's all part of the shadow boxing, if you
:06:54. > :06:57.like, ahead of the summit T won't be enough to satisfy British
:06:57. > :07:01.British eurosceptics who say this is a once in a lifetime possibility
:07:01. > :07:05.not to simply get safeguards, but to drag powers back from Brussels
:07:05. > :07:11.and have a referendum on the whole thing. That's one thing that isn't
:07:11. > :07:14.being promised tonight and David Cameron will not deliver.
:07:14. > :07:18.Thank you. The deadliest bombing in the Afghan
:07:18. > :07:22.capital in three years has claimed at least 50 lives. It was a suicide
:07:22. > :07:26.bomb attack on Shia Muslims attending a shrine in Kabul. More
:07:26. > :07:29.than 160 people were injured. President Karzai called it an
:07:29. > :07:33.unprecedented sectarian attack and has now cancelled a visit to
:07:33. > :07:43.Britain where he was due to arrive tonight. From Kabul, Quentin
:07:43. > :07:43.
:07:43. > :07:53.Sommerville sent this report. Afghan Shias in Kabul beat
:07:53. > :07:57.
:07:57. > :08:06.themselves in a traditional mourning ritual. Then this.
:08:06. > :08:09.A massive explosion from a suicide bomber tears through the crowd.
:08:09. > :08:17.It's chaos, hundreds are hurt, dozens dead. The dying and injured
:08:17. > :08:25.are piled up in trucks. At a City Hospital they struggle to cope with
:08:25. > :08:34.wave after wave of victims. And on the pavement outside a mother
:08:34. > :08:41.mourns for her lost son. My heart is broken, she cries. Desperate and
:08:41. > :08:45.in despair, more gathered for news of missing family and friends. This
:08:45. > :08:52.is a day of mourning, said this man, it is an attack against humanity
:08:52. > :08:56.and an attack against Islam. It was part of a co-ordinated assault
:08:56. > :09:03.against Shias. A bomb also exploded in the northern city of Mazar-i-
:09:03. > :09:05.Sharif, but the Kabul attack was much bigger, in the heart of the
:09:06. > :09:12.city outside a shrine near the presidential Palace. The people
:09:12. > :09:16.here are extremely angry. There's long been tensions between Afghan
:09:16. > :09:19.Sunnis and Shias, but this kind of sectarian violence on this scale is
:09:19. > :09:23.unprecedented. President Karzai was due to leave a
:09:23. > :09:31.summit in Germany for Britain, instead, he will be returning to
:09:31. > :09:37.Kabul. It's the first time that on such an important religious day in
:09:37. > :09:44.Afghanistan terrorism of that horrible nature is taking place. We
:09:44. > :09:47.all wish the best for those who are injured and quick recovery and
:09:47. > :09:51.patience to the families of those who have lost their dear ones.
:09:51. > :09:57.the injured were being treated, the Taliban issued a statement saying
:09:57. > :10:01.they hadn't carried out the attack. The Government says they're lying.
:10:02. > :10:05.These attacks turned this Muslim day of mourning into a day of
:10:05. > :10:10.terrible loss, bringing a new kind of suffering to this already
:10:10. > :10:12.fractured country. In Moscow police say they've
:10:12. > :10:16.arrested 250 people during a second day of protests following the
:10:16. > :10:18.recent parliamentary elections. Demonstrators, who defied the
:10:19. > :10:24.official order to stay off the streets, claim the contest was
:10:24. > :10:26.rigged in favour of the prime minister, Vladimir Putin. A leading
:10:26. > :10:32.member of the opposition, Boris Nemtsov, was among those held and
:10:32. > :10:37.later released. Our correspondent Daniel Sandford sent this report.
:10:37. > :10:43.It does contain some flash photography.
:10:43. > :10:47.Driving through the crowd on Moscow's main shopping streets, the
:10:47. > :10:50.city's intimidating riot police. They were there to break up an
:10:50. > :10:55.unauthorised demonstration. More than 1,000 people were protesting
:10:55. > :10:57.once more against what they say was a fixed election and against the
:10:57. > :11:05.Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin. Russia without Putin has become
:11:05. > :11:08.their slogan. It's the second night in a row that
:11:08. > :11:13.the anti-Putin protesters have come out on the streets. Last night it
:11:13. > :11:22.was a legal demonstration. But tonight it hasn't been sanctioned
:11:22. > :11:27.and they all risk arrest. On Twitter and Facebook they're
:11:27. > :11:32.already calling it the Slavic spring even though the bit Irwin
:11:32. > :11:39.ter is -- bitter winter is around the corner. The movement now has
:11:39. > :11:43.some momentum and it's personal. Putin is a thief, they shouted.
:11:43. > :11:49.Russia with this Government, with these leaders, with these cheats,
:11:49. > :11:53.these thieves, Russia has no future. But just yards away there were
:11:53. > :11:58.chants in favour of Vladimir Putin. One of the Kremlin funded youth
:11:59. > :12:05.movement had also turned up. None of them was arrested. But several
:12:05. > :12:11.opposition leaders were rounded up. Former deputy prime minister Boris
:12:11. > :12:15.Nemstov was detained and later released and an influential anti-
:12:15. > :12:20.corruption campaigner was given a prison sentence for disobeying
:12:20. > :12:25.police at a demonstration. Vladimir Putin's official spokesman said
:12:25. > :12:29.anyone who protested legally should be stopped and he has continued to
:12:29. > :12:33.defend the election results despite the growing international criticism.
:12:33. > :12:39.But the authorities are bracing themselves for further unrest in
:12:39. > :12:48.the days ahead. This is a critical moment for Vladimir Putin. Will the
:12:49. > :12:52.protests peter out or will the British Airways says it has
:12:52. > :12:59.abandoned plans to create 400 jobs, blaming the Government decision to
:12:59. > :13:05.press ahead with an 8% increase in air fuel duty. The Government says
:13:06. > :13:08.that airlines must play their part in reducing the deficit. But Willie
:13:08. > :13:12.Walsh says that it will do more harm than good.
:13:12. > :13:17.The row between airlines and the Government has been ticking over
:13:17. > :13:22.for a while. Today it gained a lot more momentum. The boss of BA has
:13:22. > :13:26.accused ministers of harming economic growth by imposing a steep
:13:26. > :13:31.increase in Air Passenger Duty. This is a huge opportunity lost as
:13:31. > :13:36.a result of the actions of the Chancellor. It is making the UK and
:13:36. > :13:41.competitive. It is making it impossible for us to compete on a
:13:41. > :13:44.global scale and is damaging the UK economy. It is damaging job
:13:44. > :13:47.creation and it is the wrong thing to do. The Treasury said the move
:13:47. > :13:52.had been announced in the Budget in March and airlines had plenty of
:13:52. > :13:57.time to prepare for it. The duty will go up by 8% next April, after
:13:57. > :14:01.a freeze this year. BAE says it will scale back the planned
:14:02. > :14:06.creation of 800 jobs down to 400, and it will postpone a plan to
:14:06. > :14:09.bring an extra Boeing 747 into service. The announcement comes at
:14:09. > :14:13.an awkward time for the Government, because it is on the same day that
:14:13. > :14:21.ministers have been launching the latest phase of the growth strategy,
:14:21. > :14:26.with more than �100 million for investment in manufacturing. The
:14:26. > :14:28.Business Secretary Vince Cable was visiting a Birmingham-based company,
:14:28. > :14:33.Bromford Industries. It makes components for the aerospace
:14:33. > :14:38.industry. He was unveiling the Government plan to encourage more
:14:38. > :14:43.investment in hi-tech UK suppliers. I put to him BA accusation that
:14:43. > :14:47.other government policies might be damaging to growth. We have got to
:14:47. > :14:53.raise revenue, as well as public spending. What the airlines are not
:14:53. > :14:58.pointing out, of course we have passenger duty, but they do not pay
:14:58. > :15:02.VAT on their flights, nor do they pay fuel duty. The head of the CBI
:15:02. > :15:07.was also on the tour with the Secretary of State. He welcomed the
:15:07. > :15:10.new manufacturing initiative, but came down on BA's side on Air
:15:10. > :15:15.Passenger Duty. I think the Government has to be very careful
:15:15. > :15:19.with its tax-raising measures. We know it needs to bring in tax, even
:15:19. > :15:22.with the deficit-reduction cuts. It has got to balance the books. But
:15:23. > :15:26.Air Passenger Duty is a tax on travel. It is paid for by the
:15:26. > :15:30.travellers, it weakens the airline's ability to service the
:15:30. > :15:33.economy and I hope the Chancellor will think again. With the latest
:15:33. > :15:36.figures from the high street revealing a picture of subdued
:15:36. > :15:38.spending and the run-up to Christmas, it is clear that the
:15:38. > :15:45.Government will not find it easy to boost growth across the whole
:15:45. > :15:48.economy. At Leeds Crown Court, a woman whose
:15:48. > :15:51.partner is accused of burying her alive has described how she
:15:51. > :15:55.struggled to get out of the cardboard box in which she had been
:15:55. > :16:01.bound and gagged. Michelina Lewandowska was giving evidence at
:16:01. > :16:06.the trial of two men accused of attempted murder.

:16:33. > :16:39.behind a screen to protect her The prosecution say this man,
:16:39. > :16:43.Patryk Borys, her partner's friend was also there and helped carry
:16:43. > :16:49.Michelina Lewandowska out of the house in a computer box, up these
:16:49. > :16:54.steps and into a car. The jury heard how she was taken here. She
:16:54. > :16:57.was taken inside the box, to be buried. When the men reached the
:16:57. > :17:02.top of the hill, the court was told how they dug a hole using two
:17:02. > :17:05.shovels and placed the box, with Michelina Lewandowska, into the
:17:05. > :17:11.ground. The prosecution say they are then covered her with soil
:17:11. > :17:21.before placing a branch on top. But she managed to escape using her
:17:21. > :17:31.
:17:31. > :17:35.Michelina Lewandowska then said that she staggered onto the road
:17:35. > :17:38.and managed to flag down a calf. The prosecution claimed what
:17:38. > :17:43.happened inside this house was well planned, because her boyfriend
:17:43. > :17:53.wanted to start a new life with their son. But both defendants deny

:18:12. > :18:17.the clearest picture yet of an area of the South specific known as the
:18:17. > :18:23.rim of fire. They used sonar technology to create images of the

:18:33. > :18:33.
:18:33. > :18:39.and the Toon Armys often led to Volcanoes erupting in the Pacific
:18:39. > :18:48.Ocean. This was Tonga two years ago, one of the most volatile regions on
:18:49. > :18:54.earth. Nearby, a tsunami sweeps ashore on Samoa, the result of an
:18:54. > :18:57.earthquake, also two years ago. The seabed beneath the Pacific is often
:18:57. > :19:02.violent and we don't know much about it. A British research team
:19:02. > :19:05.went to investigate last summer, using the latest sonar technology
:19:05. > :19:10.it built up an unprecedented picture of the seabed and the huge
:19:10. > :19:15.forces at work. The research was in part of the so-called Pacific Ring
:19:15. > :19:20.of Fire, the four points and volcanoes circling the ocean. The
:19:20. > :19:27.focus was to the north of New Zealand. Here are the volcanoes
:19:27. > :19:31.near Tonga, and here is Samoa, where that tsunami struck. The
:19:31. > :19:35.plate moving westwards is colliding with the Indo-Australian plate. The
:19:35. > :19:38.researchers wanted to know what happened when this long line of
:19:38. > :19:44.underwater volcanoes approaches that fault line. Each of them is
:19:44. > :19:46.several miles high. Ahead is one of the deepest chasms on the planet.
:19:46. > :19:52.For the first time, they have captured had these huge mountains
:19:52. > :19:57.are destroyed as they fall into the abyss. The chasm is nearly seven
:19:57. > :20:00.miles deeper. Mount Everest would easily fit inside. The researchers
:20:00. > :20:05.from the universities of Oxford and Durham say the next volcano doesn't
:20:05. > :20:09.stand a chance. In its ultimate fate is to be carried down into
:20:09. > :20:14.that trench that you can see here, carried deep down into the earth.
:20:15. > :20:19.It cannot avoid that? It cannot avoid it. Once that one is gone,
:20:19. > :20:23.there is another one in line and that will be next. A close-up image

:20:31. > :20:38.next one out, the one that is right on the lip, going down into the
:20:38. > :20:41.trench. You can see the way it is getting sly step, the parallel
:20:41. > :20:47.fractures cutting up this immense mountain like it was a loaf of
:20:48. > :20:52.bread. This matters anywhere that tsunamis can strike. The great wave

:21:46. > :21:51.Chelsea strolling to a 3-0 win, which means they do go through.
:21:51. > :21:54.Their manager, Andre Villas-Boas, did it his way, leaving Frank
:21:54. > :21:59.Lampard on the bench. If they had gone out at this stage, it would
:21:59. > :22:03.have waved goodbye to weigh potential �80 million. For their
:22:03. > :22:07.owner, the Champions' League means much more than that. Paul Roman
:22:07. > :22:11.Abramovich, the European Champions' League is both inspiration and
:22:11. > :22:16.frustration. His empire has never extended beyond England. Even a
:22:16. > :22:21.draw against Valencia could have seen the end of another manager.

:22:35. > :22:38.Boas in charge, Chelsea have rarely looked secure. They needed Petr
:22:38. > :22:44.Cech at his best. Calamitous defending came from the Spanish
:22:44. > :22:48.side. You should never let an opponent come between you. Ramires,
:22:48. > :22:54.2-0, suddenly it seemed like child's play. If Chelsea are
:22:54. > :23:01.building towards a new era, bear in mind that their outstanding player
:23:01. > :23:05.in this match is in sight of his 30th birthday. He is on his sixth

:23:19. > :23:22.British poet Ted Hughes, who died in 1998, has been honoured with a
:23:22. > :23:27.memorial in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey. His name can now
:23:27. > :23:31.be seen alongside writers such as Chaucer and Shakespeare. The
:23:31. > :23:40.memorial stone was dedicated this evening by Nobel laureate Seamus
:23:40. > :23:44.I don't know exactly what duties the poet laureate has. But I don't
:23:44. > :23:48.think writing to order is one of them. The charismatic and deeply
:23:48. > :23:53.thoughtful Ted Hughes, speaking shortly after being made the poet
:23:53. > :23:57.laureate in 1984. He died 14 years later, at the age of 68. This
:23:57. > :24:00.evening, at a service in Westminster Abbey, his outstanding
:24:00. > :24:07.contribution to literature was marked with the unveiling of a
:24:07. > :24:12.memorial stone bearing his name. You can come to Poets' Corner,
:24:12. > :24:20.where the word is celebrated. Juliet Stevenson read his poem,
:24:20. > :24:25.full moon and little freedom. cool, small evening, a dog bark and
:24:25. > :24:30.the clink of a bucket, and you, listening. Seamus Heaney, his
:24:31. > :24:36.friend and fellow poet, gave the address. What he created is a
:24:36. > :24:41.phantasmagoria. An arc of animals and Ella mantels. An Al-Marwah
:24:41. > :24:45.knack for all seasons and astrological science. He said that
:24:45. > :24:50.Ted Hughes meant everything to him, describing his writing as high-
:24:50. > :24:56.voltage. He has no doubt that his friend deserves his place among the
:24:56. > :25:06.greats. He belongs in Poets' Corner, I think, not just as a poet

:25:09. > :25:14.laureate, because of his achievements in English poetry. For
:25:14. > :25:21.the power of his poetry. The power of his presence in culture. When
:25:21. > :25:26.men got to the summit, words for sick them. The voice of Ted Hughes,
:25:26. > :25:31.who believed his poetry should be heard, as well as seeing. As his
:25:31. > :25:38.daughter, it is a marvellous thing to realise that he is being
:25:38. > :25:42.remembered in such a permanent way in a place that, hopefully, will
:25:42. > :25:49.carry him and the other poets forever. Here is a newly installed
