:02:45. > :02:51.Anglican Communion, the issue of homosexuality has threatened it
:02:51. > :02:56.with disintegration. The danger came to a head at the once a decade
:02:56. > :03:01.meeting of the world's Anglicans at the Lambeth Conference. The Church

:03:08. > :03:14.of the next Lambeth Conference. I have done that particular job for
:03:14. > :03:19.the Church. The next one will be in 2018. Between now and then, we
:03:20. > :03:24.think about it. The Church recognised in Dr Williams the
:03:24. > :03:28.presence and bearing of a holy man. He described himself as a hairy
:03:28. > :03:34.leftie, but he was also a poet and prolific author who had been
:03:34. > :03:38.Professor of Divinity by the age of 36 and a bishop by 40. I pay
:03:38. > :03:42.tribute to the service he has given to the country and the church and I
:03:42. > :03:46.single out the work he has done in Africa, Sudan and elsewhere, to try
:03:46. > :03:52.to ensure peace, stability and prosperity. He is a very thoughtful
:03:52. > :03:58.and wise man. But Africans, who regarded active homosexuality as a
:03:58. > :04:01.sin, formed a rebellious alliance with in the communion. Despite Dr
:04:01. > :04:04.Williams' popularity with the rank and file there, some
:04:04. > :04:09.traditionalists claim that he prolonged discussions, knowing
:04:09. > :04:13.Anglican beliefs about sexuality were being undermined.
:04:13. > :04:19.Archbishop of Canterbury was seen as indecisive, to an extent, by a
:04:19. > :04:23.number of key leaders in Africa and elsewhere. And the very fact that
:04:23. > :04:28.he wanted to keep people discussing was seen as him taking sides,
:04:28. > :04:33.siding with those who wanted to innovate, particularly in the area
:04:33. > :04:38.of sexuality. The ordination of women as bishops in the Church of
:04:38. > :04:43.England could be among Dr Williams' achievements. A crucial vote takes

:04:58. > :05:04.Muslim law would inevitably become more commonly used in the UK. He
:05:04. > :05:08.later accepted he had spoken clumsily. Who might follow Dr
:05:08. > :05:12.Williams into Lambeth Palace? The Archbishop of York, John Sentamu,
:05:12. > :05:17.the Church's most -- second most important cleric, was asked whether
:05:17. > :05:22.he was a contender. REPORTER: Do you fancy his job?
:05:22. > :05:26.can't be serious. Any successor would take on a church still in
:05:26. > :05:30.grave danger of division. Finding the right person will not be easy.
:05:30. > :05:33.And we can speak to Robert at Lambeth Palace. Once the Archbishop
:05:33. > :05:40.has gone, how hard will it be for the Anglican Church to hold
:05:40. > :05:45.together over some of these more divisive issues? It will not be
:05:45. > :05:49.easy. For instance, women bishops is not a done deal. Rowan Williams
:05:49. > :05:53.cares about how they brought in. That is why I am surprised he has
:05:53. > :05:56.announced his discussion -- his resignation now, when his prestige
:05:56. > :05:59.and authority could have made a difference to the outcome. The same
:05:59. > :06:04.goes for an agreement he had to draft to keep the Anglican
:06:04. > :06:07.Communion together. The Church faces a divisive debate over gay
:06:07. > :06:09.marriage. And a group of evangelicals said they were
:06:09. > :06:13.prepared to bring in their own bishops to look after them if they
:06:13. > :06:17.did not like those on offer from the church here. So there are
:06:17. > :06:21.potential challengers in the pipeline for his successor. He has
:06:21. > :06:25.often been accused of using something described as carefully
:06:25. > :06:28.judged lack of clarity to deal with problems like this. It could be
:06:28. > :06:35.that his successor does not have that Mac and will not have the
:06:35. > :06:38.experience, prestige and authority to be able to make his word go.

:07:18. > :07:25.and burnt to their bodies. They started with a prayer. The
:07:25. > :07:28.villagers had come to the presidential palace. 11 people were

:07:47. > :07:54.in four rooms people were killed, children and women were killed. And
:07:54. > :07:56.then they were all brought together in one room and then put on fire.
:07:57. > :08:00.The Afghan investigation team did not receive the co-operation that
:08:00. > :08:04.they expected from the United States. The international mission
:08:04. > :08:09.in Afghanistan has always known that the Afghan people would only
:08:09. > :08:14.tolerate its presence for so long. But two events in quick succession,
:08:14. > :08:18.the accidental burning of the Koran, and the killings in Kandahar, have
:08:18. > :08:20.poisoned the relationship. There is now more pressure than ever full

:08:42. > :08:47.Yorkshire Regiment. These men are heading for combat in Afghanistan.
:08:47. > :08:54.They will not be the last, but the end is in sight, says Britain's
:08:54. > :08:57.ambassador to Kabul. The plan is for us to get combat troops off the
:08:57. > :09:02.battlefield. And to replace them with Afghans, if there is still
:09:02. > :09:07.fighting to be done. That is the plan. Within 18 months, there will
:09:07. > :09:11.not be any British, American or any other troops in the villages.
:09:11. > :09:16.Meanwhile, in America, the lawyer of the suspected killer spoke for

:10:13. > :10:17.coalition partners, to seek agreement on next week's Budget. It
:10:17. > :10:20.has been suggested George Osborne is arguing for a cut in the 50
:10:20. > :10:24.pence top tax rate to promote enterprise. Labour has said tax
:10:24. > :10:30.cuts for the richest in Britain would be the wrong priority. Hugh

:10:55. > :10:58.about the 50p rate. -- the Liberal Democrats in the Government. There
:10:58. > :11:02.has been a lot for the Chancellor to think about over this issue.
:11:02. > :11:08.There is the question of how much extra revenue for top rate of tax

:11:11. > :11:16.there is the political message which will go out with any
:11:16. > :11:19.announcement he chooses to make on the future of the 50p rate. The
:11:19. > :11:24.coalition has continued with a policy adopted by the previous
:11:24. > :11:28.Government. The 50p tax rate was introduced in 20th April 10 as a
:11:28. > :11:34.temporary measure. It applies to earnings of over �150,000 a year.
:11:34. > :11:39.It is paid by around 320,000 people. The Treasury estimated it would
:11:39. > :11:43.bring in an extra �2.8 billion this coming year. But financial experts
:11:43. > :11:47.are sceptical. They argue the Revenue has a lot less because
:11:47. > :11:52.wealthy people find ways to avoid the top rate, and business leaders
:11:52. > :11:56.claimed it damages enterprise. think the 50p tax rate should be
:11:56. > :11:59.scrapped because in practice it is self-defeating. People will change

:12:02. > :12:08.the business as they might have started because they are
:12:08. > :12:12.discouraged from turning in those categories. At a time of rising
:12:12. > :12:16.fuel prices, tax credits being cut, family budgets under real pressure,
:12:16. > :12:21.people would think that making a priority, cutting taxes only for
:12:21. > :12:27.those earning above �150,000 would be totally out of touch, the wrong
:12:27. > :12:31.priority. The so-called quad will meet face-to-face on Monday. Nick
:12:31. > :12:36.Clegg and Danny Alexander for the Lib Dems have been pressing for tax
:12:36. > :12:39.hikes on the rich in return for scrapping the 50p rate, which is
:12:39. > :12:42.what the Prime Minister and Chancellor want. 50p is in the
:12:42. > :12:48.balance. What happens to it could be one of the defining issues of
:12:48. > :12:51.next week's Budget. The Labour leader, Ed Miliband, has
:12:51. > :12:55.promised to guarantee jobs for young people who are out of work
:12:55. > :12:58.for more than a year, funded by a tax on bankers' bonuses. He said
:12:58. > :13:02.the announcement would form the first line of the party's budget if
:13:02. > :13:06.it was in power. But it hit a snag when the deputy leader of the party
:13:06. > :13:12.did not know how much the policy would cost, or how much the bankers
:13:12. > :13:17.Ed Miliband led the Shadow Cabinet to his party's youth conference,

:13:29. > :13:33.and radical plan to tackling one of Britain's pressing problems - youth
:13:33. > :13:38.unemployment. Under Labour, a job is guaranteed,

:14:00. > :14:03.costed, paid for by a tax on bankers bonusespm. We have got to
:14:03. > :14:06.measure success on the difference we make. It was in this building,
:14:06. > :14:11.just before the last general election, that Ed Miliband's old
:14:11. > :14:14.boss, Gordon Brown, came to invite sceptical voters to take a second
:14:14. > :14:17.look at him and his party. Ed Miliband is doing much the same
:14:17. > :14:22.thing today because he knows his own polling is suggesting that
:14:22. > :14:27.Labour still has to make a greater impact with voters on the crucial
:14:27. > :14:35.issue that can decide elections, the economy.
:14:35. > :14:41.But perhaps the first step in in route back to economic credibility

:20:55. > :20:59.Sir Donald Bradman, no one has come close to his average of 99.9 runs,
:21:00. > :21:05.but in inia no one compares with Sachin Tendulkar. In Mumbai,
:21:05. > :21:08.youngsters come to this park every day, hoping to emulate their hero.
:21:08. > :21:18.Some believe Sachin Tendulkar's record of 100 centuries will never

:21:33. > :21:36.firstly by blocking the delivery of food and aid. The second thing we

:21:46. > :21:49.industry has been hosting its annual BAFTA Awards, a chance to
:21:49. > :21:52.celebrate the high achievers in a field where British talent has
:21:52. > :21:55.traditionally excelled, but behind the scenes falling sales and the
:21:55. > :22:05.rise of apps are raising fears that for many UK firms it could soon be
:22:05. > :22:09.a case of game over? Rory Cellan- A big night for one of Britain's
:22:09. > :22:15.success stories, but as guests arrive for the BAFTA video games
:22:15. > :22:21.award, sponored by a retail chain threatened with collapse, the
:22:21. > :22:26.industry has a fight on its hands. Here is one team competing for a
:22:26. > :22:29.BAFTA. I Am Player is a social game, mostly played through Facebook. It
:22:29. > :22:34.turns you into a premiership footballer and there is lots of
:22:34. > :22:38.video shot from your point of view. The game earns money through
:22:38. > :22:44.advertising and selling virtual goods like boots and energy drinks.
:22:44. > :22:50.It is one of a new breed. That is shocking. See you on
:22:50. > :22:53.Saturday, yeah? Social games didn't exist four years ago and now 300
:22:53. > :22:59.million people play social games every month and it continues to
:22:59. > :23:02.grow. We have got this this explosive growth there and on
:23:02. > :23:08.smartphones. If five months, over two million
:23:08. > :23:12.people signed up to play this online social game. Keep the ball.
:23:12. > :23:17.So one small British company thinks it found the formula for success,
:23:17. > :23:26.but the games industry is in a state with plunging sales and
:23:26. > :23:30.doubts over its future direction. Batman: Arkham City is another

:23:33. > :23:36.like this falling, there is a mood of uncertainty.
:23:36. > :23:40.They don't know what types of games people are going to be buying and
:23:40. > :23:43.where they are going to be buying them from. It is terrifying and
:23:43. > :23:48.exciting and I think we're going through this period of flux and we
:23:48. > :23:50.are not sure we will come out of it. Some will succeed, some will fail.
:23:50. > :23:53.The new boss at the organisation representing the industry is
:23:53. > :23:59.pressing hard for tax relief for games firms.
:23:59. > :24:02.Ted UK always had -- the UK always had a fantastic tradition of
:24:02. > :24:08.producing quality games. We need to make sure we are creating the right
:24:08. > :24:12.business environment to continue that fantastic heritage.
:24:12. > :24:18.The big winners tonight did include some traditional blockbuster games,

:24:26. > :24:29.players -- nimblest players will The Cheltenham Gold Cup has been
:24:29. > :24:32.won by Synchronised ridden by Tony McCoy. There were high hopes for
:24:32. > :24:35.Kauto Star which has won the race twice before, but his jockey pulled
:24:35. > :24:41.him up before the end of the race and the 12-year-old horse is almost
:24:41. > :24:48.certain to retire. Joe Wilson was watching. And they are away.
:24:48. > :24:54.There is a sweet agony to watch at Cheltenham, even for lovers of
:24:54. > :24:58.horse racing, there has been soul searching. They enjoy a sport that
:24:58. > :25:01.has risks to the animal. It doesn't put me off because it is
:25:01. > :25:05.part of the scene really. Like with most sports, there is a
:25:05. > :25:09.risk. With motor racing, there is a risk.
:25:09. > :25:13.Most have come to watch the great Kauto Star, defying the years to
:25:13. > :25:18.battle for a third Gold Cup. Well, his race was over before half-way.
:25:18. > :25:21.At the back of the field, Ruby Walsh decided the horse wasn't
:25:21. > :25:28.moving properly and pulled him out. This was the reaction from those
:25:28. > :25:30.watching. APPLAUSE
:25:30. > :25:34.The vet soon reported that Kauto Star was fine.
:25:34. > :25:38.The race was left to the others and the brown silks defending champion,
:25:38. > :25:44.Long Run struggling to retain his title, but between the last fence
:25:44. > :25:49.and the finishing line and it was Synchronised, guided by AP McCoy.
:25:49. > :25:54.Tony McCoy comes storming up the hill to win the Gold Cup.
:25:54. > :25:58.Any victory for Tony McCoy is greeted by huge warmth here at
:25:58. > :26:07.Cheltenham. It is an acknowledgement of this jockey's
:26:07. > :26:13.enormous contribution to the sport. Moments after vibg after victory
:26:13. > :26:17.Tony McCoy was full of praise for Ruby Walsh.
:26:17. > :26:20.Ruby was thinking about his horse more than anyone else.
