:00:26. > :00:30.the unrest in the summer calls for a new set of rules. Where arsonists
:00:30. > :00:36.put people's lives at risk, police would be justified in using live
:00:36. > :00:41.bullets. The report has divided opinion. The risks to civil order
:00:41. > :00:47.have changed, we have seen that. And we think police need new rules
:00:47. > :00:54.of engagement. We will be asking how likely police forces are to
:00:55. > :01:01.embrace these new tactics. Also tonight... I have no reason or
:01:01. > :01:06.knowledge to believe it was going on. Piers Morgan claims he had no

:02:00. > :02:04.Good evening. Water cannon, plastic bullets and even live ammunition
:02:04. > :02:09.could be used by police in the event of another outbreak of civil
:02:10. > :02:14.unrest. A review of police tactics during the summer says new rules of
:02:14. > :02:16.engagement are needed to protect the public. But the findings of Her
:02:16. > :02:22.Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary have been questioned
:02:22. > :02:27.by senior police officers, as well as by some MPs. June Kelly explains.
:02:27. > :02:33.Burning buildings were among the most powerful and poignant images
:02:33. > :02:38.of the summer. Arsonists destroyed homes, shops and livelihoods and
:02:38. > :02:42.terrorised communities. This famous photograph showed a young woman
:02:42. > :02:47.leaping to safety. It is an example of why a new rules of engagement
:02:47. > :02:54.need to be drawn up for officers, according to the Inspectorate of
:02:54. > :03:01.Constabulary. If there are not enough police to restrain the sheer
:03:01. > :03:05.numbers, and all the evidence suggests that it will take some
:03:05. > :03:12.hours to muster enough numbers, then they have to have some options
:03:12. > :03:17.to protect our citizens. They may consider using lethal force in some
:03:17. > :03:21.circumstances. The big lesson from the summer is that in any similar
:03:22. > :03:26.unrest in future, we must have more officers on the streets. The police
:03:27. > :03:33.estimate that they need to outnumber the rioters Blair at
:03:33. > :03:36.least three to one in order to make arrests. But it also says the
:03:36. > :03:40.police need to look at the possibility of bringing in water-
:03:40. > :03:43.cannon and plastic bullets, up until now only used in riots in
:03:43. > :03:48.Northern Ireland. The latest plastic bullets are designed to
:03:48. > :03:50.reduce the risk of injury. But one police chief, who used to be in
:03:50. > :03:57.charge in Northern Ireland, thinks the Inspectorate of Constabulary
:03:57. > :04:02.has got it wrong. Baton rounds and water cannon buy you distance. What
:04:02. > :04:07.you saw in London were fast moving crowds, not standing still, in
:04:07. > :04:14.which case these measures would have been totally useless. And
:04:14. > :04:18.sadly, on occasions, people have died from baton rounds, and they
:04:18. > :04:23.remembered ever after by their families. Tottenham, where the
:04:23. > :04:26.trouble began. This neighbourhood is a reminder of what was lost. But
:04:26. > :04:31.one community leader believes that while the police have to learn
:04:31. > :04:39.lessons, lethal force should not be part of the solution. No, it is
:04:39. > :04:43.crazy to even suggest it. History shows you that a round-the-world,
:04:43. > :04:47.in Northern Ireland, it has not worked, it has not solved the
:04:47. > :04:52.problem. After the riots in Tottenham, there has been a big
:04:52. > :04:56.focus on police-community relations. The rules state that for the police
:04:56. > :04:59.to open fire, they have to believe there is an imminent threat to life.
:04:59. > :05:04.This is generally the case when there is someone with a weapon. And
:05:04. > :05:08.of course, it was a police shooting which sparked the disturbances here.
:05:08. > :05:15.This was the man who was shot dead, Mark Duggan. A firearm was
:05:15. > :05:18.recovered from the scene, and his death is still being investigated.
:05:18. > :05:22.Four months after the events of the summer, the big question is, if
:05:22. > :05:28.there is a repeat, should the police make greater use of their
:05:28. > :05:31.firepower? Let's pick up on the point you made at the end there,
:05:31. > :05:35.how likely is it, do you think, that British police forces will
:05:35. > :05:40.embrace some of these more extreme tactics? When it comes to using
:05:40. > :05:43.live rounds on arsonists, the Inspectorate of Constabulary is
:05:43. > :05:47.stressing this would be absolutely a last resort. The challenge for
:05:47. > :05:51.police when they open fire is that they have to make decisions in a
:05:51. > :05:55.split-second. During a riot, that would be very difficult to do. Also
:05:55. > :05:58.there is the fact that this summer just gone, many of the people on
:05:58. > :06:05.the streets were very young. When it comes to water cannon and
:06:05. > :06:11.plastic bullets, we were hearing from Sir Hugh ward, one of the few
:06:11. > :06:15.officers who has employed both, giving an emphatic no. It would
:06:15. > :06:19.mark a significant change in British policing if those things
:06:19. > :06:29.were to be employed. Only yesterday, a parliamentary committee was
:06:29. > :06:31.
:06:31. > :06:35.saying no to water cannon and Piers Morgan, the former editor of
:06:35. > :06:38.the News of world and of the Daily Mirror has been giving evidence to
:06:38. > :06:43.the Leveson inquiry into press standards. He denied the suggestion
:06:43. > :06:47.that phone hacking had been endemic at the Daily Mirror, and claimed
:06:47. > :06:54.that his journalists all knew they had to operate within the law. He
:06:54. > :06:58.did admit to listening to a voice message which had been left by Sir
:06:58. > :07:03.Paul McCartney for his former wife, but refused to say who played it to
:07:03. > :07:08.him. He was 28 when he was editor at the News of the World. He then
:07:08. > :07:12.went to the Daily Mirror, and on to television. Now, he is the high-
:07:12. > :07:16.profile post of an American chat show. Piers Morgan relishes his
:07:16. > :07:21.status as interrogator of the stars. But today, by satellite link from
:07:21. > :07:25.Los Angeles, he was placed under an oath to answer questions. He
:07:25. > :07:30.started jauntily, but when it came to phone hacking, his answers
:07:30. > :07:35.became noticeably more terse. Your newspaper was near the top of the
:07:35. > :07:45.list, wasn't it? Top of the list of what. Of those who were carrying
:07:45. > :07:48.out this sort of practice. And you well know that. You also well know
:07:48. > :07:53.that not one single person has made a formal complaint against the
:07:53. > :07:59.Daily Mirror. He was asked about a private voicemail message left by
:07:59. > :08:04.Paul McCartney for his then girlfriend, Heather Mills.
:08:04. > :08:09.listened to a tape of a message, yes. It was a voicemail message,
:08:09. > :08:14.wasn't it? I believed it was, yes. Mr Morgan said he had to protect
:08:14. > :08:21.his sources so could not say more. Lord Justice Leveson was becoming
:08:21. > :08:24.exasperated. I am perfectly happy to call Lady McCartney to give
:08:24. > :08:30.evidence as to whether she authorised you to listen to her
:08:30. > :08:35.voice mails. Mr Morgan remained rural on that subject, and denied
:08:35. > :08:40.he had heard other celebrity voice mails, and insisted he had not even
:08:40. > :08:46.known phone hacking took place. have no reason or knowledge to
:08:46. > :08:49.believe it was going on. But what did you yourself know from your own
:08:50. > :08:59.perception of what was going on? Did you see this sort of thing
:09:00. > :09:00.
:09:00. > :09:04.going on, Mr Morgan? No. Are you sure about that? 100%. In one
:09:04. > :09:07.tantalising moment, he was quoting from his diaries about Rupert
:09:07. > :09:13.Murdoch's dismissive attitude towards the Press Complaints
:09:13. > :09:18.Commission. That may not be his recollection of events. I'm not
:09:18. > :09:22.asking you for his book collection. I can ask him that. And that would
:09:22. > :09:26.appear to mean that Rupert Murdoch himself is to be called to give
:09:26. > :09:32.evidence. But today, it was Piers Morgan, who, before he hurried off
:09:32. > :09:36.to do his chat show, signed off from the inquiry with a complaint.
:09:36. > :09:40.After 1.5 hours of evidence, he said he felt like a badly treated
:09:40. > :09:47.rock-star, whose low points were constantly being played, but whose
:09:47. > :09:51.successes were ignored. During the day, News International
:09:51. > :09:54.agreed settlements with several high-profile people affected by the
:09:54. > :09:59.phone hacking scandal at the News of the World. The company confirmed
:09:59. > :10:08.that it had settled claims brought by Princess Diana's former lover,
:10:08. > :10:12.James Hewitt, television presenter Ulrika Jonsson and five others. A
:10:12. > :10:16.man has been arrested on suspicion of a terrorism offence after
:10:16. > :10:20.arriving at Birmingham airport on a flight from Dubai. He was suspected
:10:20. > :10:25.of having a document which could be of use to someone planning an act
:10:25. > :10:29.of terrorism. In North Korea, the country's new leader, Kim Jong Un,
:10:29. > :10:34.has led mourners as they pay their last respects to his father, Kim
:10:34. > :10:39.Jong Il, whose body is now lying in state. He died on Saturday at the
:10:39. > :10:42.age of 69. The country has entered an 11 day period of mourning.

:10:46. > :10:53.monitoring events, as our correspondent reports from
:10:53. > :11:01.neighbouring South Korea. Kim Jong Il, a face so familiar to the
:11:01. > :11:05.outside world, revered, reviled, even caricatured, now mourned. And
:11:05. > :11:11.this is the new guardian of North Korea's nuclear weapons, his son,
:11:11. > :11:16.Kim Jong Un. He is not yet 30 years old, but he is every bit as
:11:16. > :11:26.enigmatic as his father. He's the man China and America will be
:11:26. > :11:33.negotiating with. And these are the people he will be ruling. Many of
:11:33. > :11:39.them are poorer and hungrier than when his father took power. The
:11:39. > :11:46.tears appear to be just as real, but those who were there the last

:12:20. > :12:25.country, governments are straining to get a clear picture of how this

:13:07. > :13:12.tax bills, alleging that big companies are treated more
:13:12. > :13:17.favourably than individuals and small businesses. Downing Street

:14:03. > :14:04.
:14:04. > :14:08.been cosying up to big business. -- strongly critical. They hide behind
:14:08. > :14:13.this cloak of secrecy, claiming confidentiality of taxpayers'
:14:13. > :14:18.affairs. In a case involving the investment bank, Goldman Sachs,
:14:18. > :14:21.HMRC admitted to an �8 million mistake over what was owed. A
:14:21. > :14:25.whistleblower claim to the unpaid bill was more like �20 million,
:14:25. > :14:32.though the tax authority denied that. It provoked fierce exchanges
:14:32. > :14:36.at the hearings. Was the taxpayer ripped off? Absolutely not. Did we
:14:36. > :14:43.lose �10 million that we should have had? It was smaller than that.
:14:43. > :14:47.What was it? I am sorry, I am in grievous difficulty of taxpayer
:14:47. > :14:53.confidentiality. Some small business owners are worried they
:14:53. > :14:56.will be getting tougher treatment than the big corporations. If they
:14:56. > :15:01.are going to treat larger businesses with kid gloves, in some
:15:01. > :15:06.respects, I would like to see them treating small businesses and
:15:06. > :15:09.freelancers the same way. Working out the UK tax liabilities of
:15:09. > :15:14.multinational companies, including those based in the City of London,
:15:14. > :15:17.is far from straightforward. Tax law is highly complex and
:15:17. > :15:23.businesses acting on behalf of shareholders will want to do
:15:23. > :15:26.whatever they can to reduce their tax bills. With all the reliefs and
:15:26. > :15:30.exemptions that exist for legitimate reasons, it is difficult
:15:30. > :15:34.to determine what the right amount of tax is. That can either be done
