:00:07. > :00:13.Demands for a referendum on Europe as Tory backbenchers seize their
:00:13. > :00:21.opportunity ahead of tomorrow's EU summit. David Cameron is called on
:00:21. > :00:27.to win back powers from Brussels in any agreement about a new EU treaty.
:00:27. > :00:31.This EU summit is a defining moment. Will the Prime Minister do Britain
:00:31. > :00:37.proud on Friday and show some bulldog spirit in Brussels? I want
:00:37. > :00:40.to make sure we have more power and control here in the UK to determine
:00:40. > :00:43.these things. We'll be looking at whether the Prime Minister will be
:00:43. > :00:46.able to resist the intense pressure coming from his own backbenches.
:00:46. > :00:55.Also tonight: Syria's president denies issuing any command to kill
:00:55. > :01:00.protestors, despite the deaths of thousands of people. No Government
:01:00. > :01:02.in the world kill its people unless it's led by crazy person.

:01:28. > :01:31.Sportsday later on the news channel. We will look at all tonight's
:01:31. > :01:41.Champions League matches and the latest from the UK championship
:01:41. > :01:52.
:01:52. > :01:55.Good evening. David Cameron has come under intense pressure from
:01:55. > :02:00.his own backbenchers over Europe, on the eve of a crucial summit that
:02:00. > :02:02.is likely to fundamentally change the way the EU works. With France
:02:02. > :02:05.and Germany agreeing a proposal to impose greater economic discipline
:02:05. > :02:08.within the EU, the Prime Minister's own MPs and supporters are asking
:02:08. > :02:16.him to grant a referendum on any treaty changes and use the
:02:16. > :02:22.opportunity to claw back greater powers for Britain. Our political
:02:22. > :02:25.editor Nick Robinson reports. Under pressure, the man who once told his
:02:25. > :02:30.party to stop obsessing about Europe. Now David Cameron's having
:02:30. > :02:34.to do just that. The EU summit which starts tomorrow could
:02:34. > :02:40.determine not just the fate of the British economy, but of a coalition
:02:40. > :02:45.deeply divided on this issue. the Prime Minister do Britain proud
:02:45. > :02:48.on Friday and show some bulldog spirit in Brussels? Today, one MP
:02:48. > :02:53.after another leapt to their feet to ask the Prime Minister what he
:02:53. > :03:00.would do to see off what they see as the threat of further EU
:03:00. > :03:02.interrogation. This EU summit is a defining moment. A once in a
:03:02. > :03:05.lifetime opportunity. Will the Prime Minister seize the moment?
:03:05. > :03:11.The Prime Minister says he won't sign a treaty that doesn't
:03:11. > :03:14.safeguard the City of London from new euro rules. But... The British
:03:14. > :03:19.national interest absolutely means we need to help resolve this crisis
:03:19. > :03:23.in the eurozone. It is freezing the British economy, just as it is
:03:23. > :03:27.freezing economies across Europe. Note carefully what he didn't say.
:03:27. > :03:31.Ed Miliband certainly did. David Cameron wasn't listing the specific
:03:31. > :03:37.powers that he wanted back from Europe. At the European summit what
:03:37. > :03:43.powers will he be arguing to repatriate? Well as I have just
:03:43. > :03:47.explained, at the summit, let me explain... They had all noticed the
:03:47. > :03:52.Prime Minister had not really answered the question. Six weeks
:03:52. > :03:55.ago he was promising his back pwfrpblgers a handbaging for Europe,
:03:55. > :04:01.now he is reduced to hand-ringing, that's the reality of this Prime
:04:01. > :04:05.Minister. Aides say David Cameron wants to protect his negotiating
:04:05. > :04:09.hand. There was one hint of what he might do at the summit. The more
:04:09. > :04:13.that countries in the eurozone ask for, the more we will ask for in
:04:13. > :04:16.return. But we will judge that on the basis of what matters most to
:04:16. > :04:20.Britain. Adding to the pressure on David
:04:20. > :04:24.Cameron are those demanding a referendum on Europe, including
:04:24. > :04:31.that man again, the Tory Mayor of London, Boris Johnson. If there is
:04:31. > :04:36.a new EU treaty that creates a kind of fiscal union within the 27
:04:36. > :04:40.countries, or within the eurozone, then we would have absolutely no
:04:40. > :04:43.choice, either to veto it, but certainly to put it to a referendum.
:04:43. > :04:47.Another Tory thinking out loud about how Britain should react to
:04:47. > :04:57.more European integration is the Northern Ireland Secretary, Owen
:04:57. > :04:57.
:04:57. > :05:01.Paterson. He told the Spectator David Cameron and Nick Clegg may
:05:01. > :05:05.have very different views of the future of Europe, but when it comes
:05:05. > :05:09.to a referendum, or not having one, they speak as one.
:05:09. > :05:12.Of course there should be a referendum if we as a country were
:05:12. > :05:16.to surrender new powers to the European Union. But there's no
:05:16. > :05:19.question of us doing that now because the new powers that will be
:05:19. > :05:23.surrendered by anyone will be within the eurozone and we are not
:05:23. > :05:27.a member of the eurozone. So the question simply doesn't arise.
:05:27. > :05:32.What's made Britain's eurosceptics so twitchy is the proposals of the
:05:32. > :05:35.couple known as Merkozy, Germany's chancellor Merkel and Franz's
:05:35. > :05:39.President -- France's President Sarkozy. Today they wrote a letter
:05:39. > :05:44.on ways to halt the euro crisis, proposing that at least those in
:05:44. > :05:49.the eurozone should now agree a euro tax on financial transactions,
:05:49. > :05:54.a common approach to company taxes, and common employment rules, too.
:05:54. > :05:57.Precisely the sort of agenda loathed by British Conservatives.
:05:57. > :06:01.As if all that euro pressure weren't enough, David Cameron has
:06:01. > :06:10.to put whatever is agreed at this summit to a Commons vote, the last
:06:10. > :06:13.volt on Europe produced the biggest rebellion seen in years.
:06:13. > :06:16.In a moment we'll be talking to our political editor Nick Robinson, but
:06:16. > :06:19.first our Europe editor Gavin Hewitt in Brussels. We've been here
:06:19. > :06:22.several times before with EU summits that have failed to result
:06:22. > :06:26.in a definitive solution. Is it going to be different this time?
:06:26. > :06:29.Well, the mood this time is very different. The message is no half-
:06:29. > :06:34.baked solutions. The French say they'll stay here at the table
:06:34. > :06:37.until they have an agreement. The Germans tonight are trying to lower
:06:37. > :06:41.expectations, they say it may take until Christmas to reach an
:06:41. > :06:45.agreement, but if it takes that long, they'll be there. Now the
:06:45. > :06:49.mood amongst the French and Germans is to play it tough and certainly
:06:49. > :06:53.if David Cameron comes here and plays the British bulldog and is
:06:53. > :06:57.insistent on safeguarding British interests, in exchange for
:06:57. > :07:01.supporting a treaty change, he may find himself in a very difficult
:07:01. > :07:07.conversation. And in any event, if he pushes too hard, then the 17
:07:07. > :07:11.members of the eurozone could go it alone and set up their own euro
:07:11. > :07:15.treaty, marginalising British influence and that's why I think
:07:15. > :07:20.tomorrow and on Friday it will be a very difficult situation for him.
:07:20. > :07:24.Just to say how will this summit be judged, it will be judged if by
:07:24. > :07:30.insisting on greater budgetary control, the European Central Bank
:07:30. > :07:34.is freed up to spwe convenient more aggress tkr aggress -- intervene
:07:34. > :07:37.more aggressively and help troubled countries. Nick Robinson, David
:07:37. > :07:40.Cameron under intense pressure as we saw tonight from his own back
:07:40. > :07:44.benches, he has a difficult balancing act. Hugely difficult,
:07:44. > :07:48.because today the pressure was all from eurosceptics who want to say
:07:48. > :07:53.at the moment we told you so, we always thought this euro project
:07:53. > :07:58.would fail. We now want Britain, either to get out altogether, or at
:07:58. > :08:02.least to pull aside from the future of that tighter euro group and in
:08:02. > :08:06.the end demand a referendum on Europe because they don't trust
:08:06. > :08:10.what is said in Brussels, they don't trust what's said in
:08:10. > :08:14.Whitehall, they they don't even trust their own Prime Minister here,
:08:14. > :08:19.not to do what the Europeans want. Yet tomorrow he will come under
:08:19. > :08:22.opposite pressure, from European leaders who say we have to boost
:08:22. > :08:26.confidence in the euro, in the global economy, and we have to do
:08:26. > :08:31.it now. So, don't stand in our way. I think the compromise he will seek
:08:31. > :08:35.for is to do enough to help the euro without doing so much that the
:08:35. > :08:40.new eurozone can dictate new rules on all sorts of things for Britain.
:08:40. > :08:43.So there's no real problem at all for him, he merely has to sort the
:08:43. > :08:47.euro crisis, without provoking a referendum, convince the
:08:47. > :08:57.eurosceptics without upsetting the pro-European Liberal Democrats.
:08:57. > :08:59.Easy really! Thank you both. The Syrian
:08:59. > :09:01.president, Bashar al-Assad, insists he hasn't ordered the killing of
:09:01. > :09:04.any protestors during his government's brutal crackdown. The
:09:04. > :09:07.United Nations estimates that more than 4,000 people have lost their
:09:07. > :09:09.lives during the nine-month pro- democracy uprising. In a rare
:09:09. > :09:13.interview for the America's ABC News, President Assad said any
:09:13. > :09:21.leader who killed his own people would be crazy. Our Middle East
:09:21. > :09:26.correspondent Paul Wood has sent this report from Beirut.
:09:26. > :09:32.Day after day, unarmed Syrian protesters have come out to face
:09:32. > :09:40.machine guns, snipers, and armoured vehicles.
:09:40. > :09:44.GUNFIRE. The costs so far is 4,000 dead. But
:09:44. > :09:50.in his ABC interview, President Assad denied killing his own
:09:50. > :09:55.citizens. We don't kill our people, nobody kill, no Government in the
:09:55. > :10:01.world kill its people unless it's led by crazy person. For me as
:10:01. > :10:06.President, I became President because of the public support. It's
:10:06. > :10:11.impossible for anyone this state to be order to kill. We saw a
:10:11. > :10:20.different picture in a week of travelling inside Syria. In the
:10:20. > :10:25.city of Homs, this woman catalogues her losses. Her son was shot dead
:10:25. > :10:33.at a protest she explains. Then her grandson was killed by a sniper
:10:33. > :10:38.while out getting bread. A few days after speaking to us, she too was
:10:38. > :10:43.shot dead in the street. There are military forces belong to the
:10:43. > :10:48.Government. I don't own them, I am President. You have to give the
:10:48. > :10:52.order? No, no. Not by your command? No, no. The crackdown was without
:10:52. > :10:55.your permission? No, there's difference between having policy to
:10:55. > :11:04.crackdown and between having some mistakes committed by some
:11:04. > :11:09.officials. There's big difference. That's just ludicrous, says the US
:11:09. > :11:14.state department. The demonstraters would no doubt agree. After ten
:11:14. > :11:21.months of this, there is an absolute determination not to give
:11:21. > :11:28.up. People have suffered too much. The men of this family are in
:11:28. > :11:34.hiding from the security forces. One was held for six weeks. He says
:11:34. > :11:41.he was beaten continually, stripped naked, threatened with castration,
:11:41. > :11:45.doused in boiling water, but still he would not confess.
:11:45. > :11:53.The officer said this dog is not afraid of dying, he recalls, so
:11:53. > :11:59.hang him by his hands. They did so, for five days. A UN report says
:11:59. > :12:03.torture is common in Syria. Send us the documents, as long as we don't
:12:03. > :12:06.see the documents and the evidences, we can not say yes that's normal.
:12:06. > :12:10.We can not just say the United Nations - who said the United
:12:10. > :12:14.Nations is a credible institution? You do in the think the United
:12:14. > :12:23.Nations is credible? No. You have an ambassador to the United Nations.
:12:23. > :12:28.Yeah, it's a game you play. Where is all this going? Some have
:12:28. > :12:33.responded to the Government crackdown by taking up arms. The
:12:33. > :12:38.international community is deeply worried that Syria's heading into a
:12:38. > :12:41.fully-fledged civil war. President Assad's interview paints a picture
:12:41. > :12:45.of Syria which is completely at odds with what's being experienced
:12:45. > :12:50.by the demonstraters who are still being shot down in the streets
:12:50. > :12:55.almost every single day. At the beginning, their demand was simply
:12:55. > :13:04.for reform. Now after months of unfulfilled promises, they want
:13:04. > :13:06.President Assad to go. The Education Secretary, Michael
:13:06. > :13:09.Gove, has ordered an investigation this evening after claims that
:13:09. > :13:12.examiners have been giving teachers secret advice on how to improve
:13:12. > :13:15.their GCSE and A-level grades. The Daily Telegraph claims that some
:13:15. > :13:20.teachers have paid �200 a day for advice on upcoming exam questions,
:13:20. > :13:24.to help boost their students' grades. Our education correspondent
:13:24. > :13:28.Reeta Chakrabarti is with me here. What more can you tell us? This
:13:28. > :13:31.came about because the Daily Telegraph sent undercover reporters
:13:31. > :13:35.to meetings that had been organised by the exam boards for teachers in
:13:35. > :13:38.England. These meetings are perfectly above board, because they
:13:38. > :13:42.are there to give support and advice to teachers and that is
:13:42. > :13:46.within the board's code of practice, but the Telegraph's reporters found
:13:46. > :13:50.that examiners were telling teachers what questions their
:13:50. > :13:53.pupils could expect, telling them how the pupils could best answer
:13:53. > :13:56.those questions, and in one case, the examiner actually admitted that
:13:57. > :14:00.he was cheating by telling them all this. Now there's been quite a
:14:00. > :14:04.response to this as you can imagine, the exam board say they stand by
:14:04. > :14:06.the integrity of their systems but if one or two individuals have
:14:06. > :14:09.broken rules rules they'll investigate but the Education
:14:09. > :14:13.Secretary has ordered his own investigation, he has asked the
:14:13. > :14:23.regulator to take a look at this and to report back in two weeks.
:14:23. > :14:25.
:14:25. > :14:30.Cancer Research UK has found that smoking, diet, alcohol and obesity
:14:30. > :14:34.all play a significant part. Smoking is by far the highest risk
:14:34. > :14:39.factor. For men, it is followed by a lack of fruit and vegetables,
:14:39. > :14:45.while for women, being overweight plays a significant role.
:14:45. > :14:48.These are magnified cancer cells, under attack from antibodies and
:14:48. > :14:53.multiplying at frightening speed. For decades, scientists have been
:14:53. > :14:56.searching for the causes of cancer. Today's report adds to our
:14:56. > :15:00.understanding of how much the condition is linked to preventable
:15:00. > :15:04.factors. That is something Elaine wishes she had known earlier. Two
:15:04. > :15:08.years ago, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and had major surgery.
:15:08. > :15:12.She had no idea being overweight could have been putting her at risk.
:15:12. > :15:17.Since then, she has transformed her life style. It was a real shock to
:15:17. > :15:20.me. Within a year or 18 months, I had lost four stone put up I had
:15:20. > :15:25.managed to do that through diet and lifestyle changes. I stopped
:15:25. > :15:29.drinking, took more exercise, changed my portion sizes and the
:15:29. > :15:34.types of food I was eating. Weight is one of the four major lifestyle
:15:34. > :15:38.risks when it comes to cancer. By far the biggest danger is smoking,
:15:38. > :15:43.causing 19% of all cancers, particularly lung cancer but also
:15:43. > :15:48.liver and kidney. For men, the second biggest risk is a poor diet,
:15:48. > :15:53.linked to 12% of cancers, including stomach, lull and oral cancers. For
:15:53. > :15:59.women, it is worse being overweight. Responsible for 7% of cancers,
:15:59. > :16:03.among them breast, uterus and bowel cancers. Alcohol is the other key
:16:03. > :16:08.risk. Heavy drinking results in 4% of all cancers including mouth,
:16:08. > :16:13.throat and bowel cancers. Over half of all cancers cannot be prevented.
:16:13. > :16:18.They are caused by age or family history. That means however healthy
:16:18. > :16:22.you are, you cannot eliminate your risk. This study does not say that
:16:22. > :16:25.if you control all of these factors, you will guarantee to never get
:16:25. > :16:31.cancer. What it does say is that you can stack the odds in your
:16:31. > :16:38.favour, and reduce the risk, very considerably. Maybe we should get
:16:38. > :16:46.together with arcades and Eid better. Spending on public -- with
:16:46. > :16:48.arcades and Eid better. Spending on public campaigns has been reduced.
:16:48. > :16:55.The government encourages people to take responsibility for their own
:16:55. > :16:59.health. We can contribute by talking to our friends, families,
:16:59. > :17:04.encouraging healthy lifestyles. Small changes can make a real
:17:04. > :17:09.difference in terms of the number of cancers. Because we are living
:17:09. > :17:18.longer, more of us are getting cancer. It is now clear we can have
:17:18. > :17:22.some control over our risks. Coming up, misery for Manchester in
:17:22. > :17:31.the Champions League. How both the City's teams had a night to forget
:17:31. > :17:36.The by the end of this month, the last US military forces are
:17:36. > :17:39.scheduled to have left Iraq, bring to an end a campaign that has
:17:39. > :17:44.lasted eight and a half years. The war has been fought at immense cost
:17:44. > :17:49.to those involved on both sides. Almost 4,500 American servicemen
:17:49. > :17:53.and women have lost their lives, with another 32,000 wounded. What
:17:53. > :17:57.has this huge investment in lives lost and damaged achieved, in the
:17:57. > :18:02.minds of the troops and their families? Our Washington
:18:02. > :18:07.correspondent has been to meet some of those who served.
:18:07. > :18:11.A think we should have two flags and a pinwheel. This is where the
:18:11. > :18:19.war in Iraq began and it is ending. Families across America have been
:18:19. > :18:23.the backbone of a long campaign. Jacquie Byrd's husband, banned --
:18:23. > :18:26.Alan, has been aware for most of the last two years and now he is
:18:26. > :18:30.coming home. He was my best friend and he was not there. He could get
:18:30. > :18:34.in touch with us, and he did. But when we needed him, it was not
:18:34. > :18:39.always easy for us to get hold of him. That was probably the hardest
:18:40. > :18:43.part of the whole year. Few here questioned the value of a mission
:18:43. > :18:48.that was America's war of choice, based on the threat of weapons of
:18:48. > :18:58.mass destruction that did not exist. But today it is about something far
:18:58. > :19:05.
:19:05. > :19:10.Within a few weeks, all the troops would have left Iraq, and most will
:19:10. > :19:14.be home for Christmas. For every one of the 300 also a man and women
:19:15. > :19:19.who returns today, there are many more who never came back -- 300 or
:19:19. > :19:23.so. The memorial at Fort Hood is a pretty sombre reminder of the
:19:23. > :19:27.sacrifice of the last eight years. Nearly 4,500 US troops and tens of
:19:27. > :19:31.thousands of Iraqis have lost their lives in a conflict that still is
:19:31. > :19:36.not over. For many of those who have made it home, their battle,
:19:36. > :19:41.their struggle, in many ways, is still going on. Bernie Teich lost
:19:41. > :19:44.his leg in a roadside bomb. Four years later, the pain in his other
:19:44. > :19:48.leg is so bad that it will also have to be amputated. His marriage
:19:48. > :19:53.has failed and he is raising three children on his own. Plenty of
:19:53. > :19:59.reasons, you might think, to be bitter about the Iraq war. They
:19:59. > :20:03.have to ask whether you think it is worth it. Yes, I do. I really feel
:20:03. > :20:07.like we helped the Iraqi people. I think there will be turbulent times
:20:07. > :20:10.for a little bit, but I think what we did was the right thing to do.
:20:10. > :20:14.President Obama may have wanted to give some of these soldiers on in
:20:14. > :20:18.Iraq, but the war had become increasingly unpopular, damaging
:20:18. > :20:27.America's standing in the world. He can still claim credit for ending a
:20:27. > :20:32.deeply flawed campaign, and finally bringing the troops home.
:20:32. > :20:36.A vulnerable man, who died after suffering 30 years of torment by
