:01:54. > :01:58.Good evening. There are signs of a new disagreement within the
:01:58. > :02:02.coalition, this time over the Justice Department's proposal to
:02:02. > :02:05.allow secret hearings in civil cases that involve evidence based
:02:05. > :02:08.on intelligence gathering. The deputy prime minister Nick Clegg
:02:08. > :02:12.has made it clear that he will not support the legislation as it is
:02:12. > :02:20.currently planned. This is in contrast to the Prime Minister, who
:02:20. > :02:25.said today that it was a matter of national security.
:02:25. > :02:29.Where should the balance of justice be decided? Always in open court,
:02:29. > :02:32.or occasionally in private so that national security and the secrets
:02:32. > :02:36.of our spies are protected? Today the Prime Minister was clear that
:02:36. > :02:40.if cords want to hear more intelligence, they need to do so
:02:40. > :02:43.behind closed doors. Government and prime ministers have a
:02:43. > :02:47.responsibility for national security. We should take every step
:02:47. > :02:51.necessary to keep the country safe. We should not put civil liberties
:02:51. > :02:56.at risk by doing so, but where there are gaps that need to be
:02:56. > :03:00.plucked, we need to plug those gaps. But how those gaps are plugged is
:03:00. > :03:04.testing this once happy relationship. Nick Clegg has tried
:03:04. > :03:09.to monitor -- limit state monitoring of the internet. Now he
:03:09. > :03:14.has said these plans risk riding roughshod over civil liberties. He
:03:14. > :03:19.is pushing for safeguards. I have been arguing the case for civil
:03:19. > :03:24.liberties for 29 years. One thing which justifies the pro-democracy
:03:24. > :03:29.is defending the citizen against the over-mighty state. Labour did
:03:29. > :03:34.not understand that. On one level, this is normal coalition politics.
:03:34. > :03:36.You have a Conservative Prime Minister emphasising security and
:03:36. > :03:40.his Liberal Democrat deputy emphasising civil liberties. But
:03:40. > :03:43.Nick Clegg is aware that he is facing tough local elections soon,
:03:43. > :03:47.when many are asking what difference the Lib Dems make in
:03:47. > :03:52.government. So Mr Clegg has made clear that he will not support
:03:52. > :03:56.closed courts unless judges decide when to use them, and he says they
:03:56. > :03:59.should never apply to inquest. But Justice Secretary Ken Clarke says
:03:59. > :04:04.secret accords are necessary to protect national security and
:04:04. > :04:08.intelligence given to the UK by countries like the US. In the case
:04:08. > :04:11.of the former Guantanamo Bay detainees Binyam Mohamed, a summary
:04:11. > :04:15.of US intelligence was revealed in court. Ken Clarke's of the
:04:15. > :04:19.Americans are now cutting back on the information they share. No one
:04:19. > :04:23.is riding roughshod over the principles of open justice, but you
:04:23. > :04:27.cannot have your spies giving sensitive information in public.
:04:27. > :04:31.The result is that you do not hear them at all. There is no open
:04:31. > :04:36.justice. It makes the security services more accountable to do
:04:36. > :04:40.this. Labour think the plans for secret courts goes so far. So the
:04:40. > :04:44.pressure to get the balance right between security and Liberty is
:04:44. > :04:48.growing. We can talk to James in Downing
:04:48. > :04:54.Street. Are these disagreements real or for party political effect,
:04:54. > :04:58.do you think? That government has had a bad few weeks. Conservatives
:04:58. > :05:01.both inside and outside government asking why Nick Clegg has chosen
:05:01. > :05:05.now to compound those difficulties and reveal the extent to divisions
:05:05. > :05:10.within the Government over these security plans. They point to the
:05:10. > :05:13.fact that Lib Dems are facing tough elections next week and are under
:05:13. > :05:18.pressure from voters to show what a difference they are making within
:05:18. > :05:21.government. If you talk to those close to Nick Clegg, they say this
:05:21. > :05:25.is a real issue where the Government has to get the balance
:05:25. > :05:29.right between liberty and security. They want to make sure the
:05:29. > :05:33.Government gets the policy right in a way that they are due Labour did
:05:33. > :05:37.not over its plans to detain terror suspects without charge for 90 days.
:05:37. > :05:40.They also say there is a duty on ministers to make sure they
:05:40. > :05:46.scrutinise any requests from these judges services when asking for
:05:46. > :05:49.more powers. The Conservatives counter with two points. They say
:05:49. > :05:54.if the Lib Dems were so concerned about this, why has not a single
:05:54. > :05:59.Lib Dem backbencher gone to see Ken Clarke about it? They also say
:05:59. > :06:03.these great plans for more security cords were first published last
:06:03. > :06:11.October. A policy document went up and down government and was finally
:06:11. > :06:18.signed off by the relevant Cabinet committee. Who is chairman of this
:06:18. > :06:22.august body that signed of these plans? Nick Clegg.
:06:22. > :06:25.The Home Office has promised that extra staff will be deployed at
:06:25. > :06:29.airports this Easter after airlines warn but there could be long queues
:06:29. > :06:32.and delays because of tougher immigration controls. Virgin
:06:32. > :06:37.Atlantic has said there is a risk of gridlock. It is one of 11
:06:37. > :06:42.airlines that have written to the Home Secretary.
:06:42. > :06:46.After a long-haul flight, it is hard sand friendly faces, we expect,
:06:46. > :06:50.not an endless queue in passport control. But airlines say there is
:06:50. > :06:53.a risk of queues like this bringing airports to a halt because there
:06:53. > :06:58.aren't enough staff to check passports. It is the middle of the
:06:58. > :07:02.after noon and quite a quiet period at terminal four. Passengers have
:07:02. > :07:06.been telling me that some from outside Europe have waited about 15
:07:06. > :07:11.minutes to get through passport control. But the airport as it can
:07:11. > :07:15.sometimes take three hours, which BAA, the owner of Heathrow,
:07:15. > :07:18.believes is unacceptable. We work hard across the whole airport to
:07:18. > :07:22.make sure we cut out queues as far as we can. It should take five
:07:22. > :07:27.minutes to get through security. Immigration is a different matter.
:07:27. > :07:30.That is not a good welcome to the UK. Last year, it came to light
:07:30. > :07:35.that staff levels had been cut and fewer additional passport checks
:07:35. > :07:38.were being done. The Home Secretary suspended the head of the border
:07:38. > :07:43.force and demanded that full checks be restored, but they require more
:07:43. > :07:47.staff. In a memo, Virgin said if queues get too long in passport
:07:47. > :07:51.control, the entire airport operation would be at risk.
:07:51. > :07:55.Airlines will be forced to keep passengers on board the aircraft.
:07:55. > :08:01.Virgin said at peak periods like Easter, there is a real chance of
:08:01. > :08:05.gridlock at UK airports. The concern, shared by other airlines
:08:05. > :08:10.and the Immigration Services Union, is about all busy periods, not just
:08:10. > :08:14.the Easter. We have the Queen's diamond jubilee and the Olympics
:08:14. > :08:18.coming up. The border needs to be suitably resourced. It needs to
:08:18. > :08:23.have enough trained staff, not temporary staff who have been
:08:23. > :08:28.trained for two days. The Home Office says extra staff are being
:08:28. > :08:33.brought in. The new border chief says warnings of serious disruption
:08:33. > :08:37.are simply speculation. A focus must be on making sure that our
:08:37. > :08:41.border is safe and that the travelling public are safe and we
:08:42. > :08:46.do not permit risks into the UK that could be a detriment to the
:08:47. > :08:51.safety of our communities. And we do not want to disrupt people more
:08:51. > :08:55.than necessary. It is now clear that the airlines are watching the
:08:55. > :08:59.performance of Britain's border force closely.
:08:59. > :09:03.The man alleged to have masterminded the 9/11 terror
:09:03. > :09:07.attacks will finally be tried. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and another
:09:07. > :09:11.four suspects will be charged within the next 30 days. The trial
:09:11. > :09:17.will take place in front of a Military Commission at Guantanamo
:09:17. > :09:20.Bay. Our correspondent is in Washington. This is not quite the
:09:20. > :09:25.outcome President Barack Obama hoped for, is it? No. The fact that
:09:25. > :09:29.this will end up in a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay is
:09:29. > :09:32.deeply embarrassing for Barack Obama. One of his first acts as
:09:32. > :09:35.President was to sign an order ordering the closure of this prison.
:09:35. > :09:40.It never happened because he could not reach agreement with Congress
:09:40. > :09:43.on what to do with the detainees. Then the president's Attorney-
:09:43. > :09:48.General indicted these men under the civilian justice system. The
:09:48. > :09:51.plan was to put them on trial in public in New York, but that
:09:51. > :09:55.collapsed because of local opposition. If there is a silver
:09:56. > :09:59.lining for Barack Obama, it is that he can now run for re-election this
:09:59. > :10:03.year at least saying that the wheels of justice are turning. That
:10:03. > :10:07.matters, because this is far and away the most significant of the
:10:07. > :10:12.Guantanamo Bay cases. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has boasted publicly that
:10:12. > :10:20.he planned the a to Z of 9/11. If he and his co-defendants are now
:10:20. > :10:22.found guilty at this tribunal, they could potentially face execution.
:10:23. > :10:28.More than 10,000 families are still without power tonight after gale-
:10:28. > :10:31.force winds, snow, sleet and rain brought power lines down in north-
:10:31. > :10:35.east England and Derbyshire. Elsewhere, across a wide sweep of
:10:35. > :10:39.northern England, there has been disruption on the Rose, with many
:10:40. > :10:47.motorists stuck for hours. Parts of the country have seen the heaviest
:10:47. > :10:51.April snow for 30 years. This was rush-hour on the M62.
:10:51. > :10:58.Drivers talked about blizzard-like conditions between Manchester and
:10:58. > :11:02.Huddersfield. Queues stretched for 10 miles as the motorway was closed.
:11:02. > :11:08.We joined Oldham's mountain rescue team in Saddleworth. By midday,
:11:08. > :11:15.they had already dug out over 20 drivers and a snowplough. How bad
:11:15. > :11:18.was it? The early on, it was quite severe. The winds were really high,
:11:19. > :11:25.gusting at between force 7 and 8. Difficult to stand up in.
:11:25. > :11:29.Visibility was down to 15 metres. This is one of the problems with
:11:29. > :11:33.the M62 closing. Many drivers are now using the back roads, but it
:11:33. > :11:39.does not take long before they get stuck in the snow, and the
:11:39. > :11:44.tailbacks begin. They knew it would be snowing, and they have done
:11:44. > :11:48.nothing about it. And the snow and ice has left thousands of homes
:11:48. > :11:55.without power across North Yorkshire, Derbyshire and County
:11:55. > :12:04.Durham. Many have been without electricity since last night here.
:12:04. > :12:09.We have no power, no mobile phone, no mains telephone, no internet
:12:09. > :12:16.access. We have no communication. The devastated in this day and age
:12:16. > :12:20.that you can't get any information. We have no means of contact. Radio,
:12:20. > :12:25.television, nothing. The engineers are trying to restore power, but
:12:25. > :12:29.the snow and ice is making their job harder. All of our resources
:12:29. > :12:33.have been redirected into responding to this incident. The
:12:33. > :12:38.conditions that came the other night are pretty rare. We would say
:12:38. > :12:42.this is a one in 10 year, maybe 20 year event. But we are responding
:12:42. > :12:47.and taking care of vulnerable customers. Off the coasts of North
:12:47. > :12:51.Wales, storms meant this cargo ship hit a rock off Colwyn Bay. There is
:12:51. > :12:56.concern that oil is leaking, but there is also praise for those who
:12:56. > :13:00.rescued seven crew members. It was difficult, clinic, to rescue seven
:13:00. > :13:08.people off the ship, which was moving in very stormy seas at the
:13:08. > :13:17.time, and to bring them back safely. The snow is now melting. All of
:13:17. > :13:22.this was expected, but it seems Network Rail has been fined �4
:13:22. > :13:26.million and ordered to pay costs of nearly �120,000 for a breach of
:13:26. > :13:31.health and safety law which caused a train to derail near Grayrigg in
:13:32. > :13:37.Cumbria in 2007. One passenger was killed and 88 others injured when
:13:37. > :13:40.the 300 ton engine derailed at 95 mph, after hitting a badly
:13:40. > :13:45.maintained and 40 set of points. At least seven people have been killed
:13:45. > :13:49.in a suicide bombing in Somalia. Reports suggest a young female was
:13:49. > :13:52.behind the attack at the country's National Theatre in Mogadishu. The
:13:52. > :13:57.President of the Somali Olympic Committee and the head of the
:13:57. > :14:01.national football federation were among the dead. GPs seem to be
:14:01. > :14:05.losing faith in the government's controversial reforms to the NHS in
:14:05. > :14:09.England, that's according to new research conducted by the BBC. 18
:14:09. > :14:17.months ago, one in four thought giving GPs a greater say would
:14:17. > :14:22.improve care for their patients. Now it's just one in eight. In
:14:22. > :14:25.every community in England, the NHS is changing. A year from now, GPs
:14:25. > :14:32.will be the leaders - making decisions together about how money
:14:32. > :14:38.is spent. So does this G P led system mean an improvement in care?
:14:38. > :14:44.In 20th September 10, 23 % it would. By March this year, that had fallen
:14:44. > :14:54.to just 12 % of GPs. The government says the NHS needs this scale of
:14:54. > :14:59.change. That convinced 65 % of GPs in 2010. But only 47 % agree now.
:14:59. > :15:03.Some GPs say they've become deeply disillusioned. We are very worried.
:15:03. > :15:07.As more details come out, it becomes increasingly obvious that
:15:07. > :15:14.the power being given is not as real as it seems. We won't have a
:15:14. > :15:17.lot of power. What the government have done is shifted the decision-
:15:17. > :15:22.making processes on to us at the time when our services will have to
:15:22. > :15:28.be cut. These NHS changes are all about who makes decisions about
:15:28. > :15:33.money. Surgeries like this one are joining together into groups. This
:15:33. > :15:38.time next year those groups will take control of health budgets for
:15:38. > :15:43.the local communities. They could be more competition for the NHS
:15:43. > :15:48.from private companies and charities. And, at the same time,
:15:48. > :15:53.the health service has to find big savings to help meet rising costs.
:15:53. > :15:57.It is that need to find savings at the same time that is worrying
:15:57. > :16:02.patient campaigners. We hear on a daily basis about the huge
:16:02. > :16:04.efficiency savings we've got to make. GPs going forward to going to
:16:04. > :16:10.have to make some tough decisions about whether to treat a patient or
:16:10. > :16:17.not. That's going to have a huge impact on the doctor-patient Trust
:16:17. > :16:22.and relationship. This ComRes poll used a survey of GPs in March. We
:16:23. > :16:28.ask them about future pressures on the NHS. Will the NHS be able to go
:16:28. > :16:34.on treating patients within 18 weeks? Just 22 % thought it could.
:16:34. > :16:42.Almost half disagreed. Will the NHS have to increase rationing of
:16:42. > :16:48.treatment? 83 % of GPs think it will. GPs who support the changes
:16:48. > :16:50.say that is why they need to take the lead. GPs are in a very good
:16:50. > :16:54.position to know what conditions their patients are likely to
:16:54. > :16:57.experience. They can therefore plan services that are convenient for
:16:57. > :17:02.the patient, but also make sure they provide them in a cost-
:17:02. > :17:07.effective way. The government says many GPs do back its vision. And,
:17:07. > :17:17.as the NHS goes on making savings, patients want doctors, not managers

:21:36. > :21:41.mother out of the driver's seat. The children, aged one and two,

:21:45. > :21:51.number two on America's Most Wanted Terrorist list, with a $10 million
:21:51. > :21:54.bounty on his head. But today, the man he the United States blames for
:21:54. > :21:58.masterminding the 2008 attacks on Mumbai, appeared in public in
:21:58. > :22:03.Pakistan, telling US authorities they will welcome to contact him.
:22:03. > :22:09.Hafiz Saeed, who founded the militant group Lashkar-e-Toiba,

:22:19. > :22:24.found him right it is complex - Pakistan's army headquarters. He's
:22:24. > :22:28.always been considered close to the military. And just across the road,
:22:28. > :22:35.he was the star attraction among hardline Islamists. He says he runs
:22:35. > :22:42.a charity. The UN says it's a front for terrorism. Now America has put
:22:42. > :22:47.a price on his head because of the Mumbai attacks in 2008. Washington
:22:47. > :22:54.and Delhi believe he was the mastermind. He denies that. Today
:22:55. > :22:57.he mocked the $10 million bounty. TRANSLATION: I want to say to the
:22:57. > :23:04.State Department, why do you want to give the money to somebody else,
:23:04. > :23:08.why not give it to me? I can tell you where I am every day. One of
:23:08. > :23:13.America's Most Wanted is on the platform here now. Hafiz Saeed is
:23:13. > :23:16.centre-stage. He's been sending a message of defiance. So far the
:23:16. > :23:19.authorities in Pakistan have been turning a blind eye. They've said
:23:19. > :23:25.little or nothing about the American bounty on his head. But
:23:25. > :23:29.many here believe they will take no serious action against him. The
:23:29. > :23:34.only impediments he faced today - a crush of cameras and plenty of
:23:34. > :23:42.questions. If you are an innocent man, why is there a bounty on your
:23:42. > :23:45.head? TRANSLATION: Bank guard the
:23:45. > :23:50.Pakistani courts have proved our organisation is absolutely not a
:23:50. > :23:53.terrorist group. The people accusing me are against Pakistan
:23:53. > :23:57.and interfering in our internal affairs. The embassy is only 40

:24:05. > :24:08.have nothing to hide? TRANSLATION: Why should I go there?
:24:08. > :24:12.If they contact me before making their Ranald that, they have taken

:24:17. > :24:22.can expect to see Hafiz Saeed at more anti-American rallies like
:24:22. > :24:31.this one. He is already planning his next appearance. Pakistan said

:24:55. > :24:59.It's come to Australia. Beat the Aussies on their home turf, it
:24:59. > :25:04.makes it all the better. That was the hardest team pursuit I've ever

:25:19. > :25:24.A 1-0 win in the away leg against Benfica had led many Chelsea fans
:25:24. > :25:30.to assume that a place in the last four of the Champions' League was
:25:30. > :25:33.all but assured. This track -- tyre was dangerously poised. Chelsea's
:25:34. > :25:37.European adventure was destined to continue. The task facing Chelsea
:25:37. > :25:43.tonight was to keep their feet firmly on the ground. To focus on
:25:43. > :25:45.the here and now of Benfica, not Barcelona - who lie in wait.
:25:45. > :25:50.Complacency seemed to be the greatest threat. There any nerves
:25:50. > :25:54.were soon settled. Makeshift defender Garcia's clumsy challenge
:25:54. > :25:59.on Ashley Cole gifting Chelsea a penalty. Lampard doubling his
:25:59. > :26:03.side's aggregate lead. Roberto Di Matteo continuing to tighten his
:26:03. > :26:11.grip on the job. Benfica have nothing to lose, and that made them
:26:11. > :26:14.dangerous. This forced John Terry into action. But when the captain's
:26:15. > :26:20.lunch on Obi Mikel saw him sent off for his second bookable offence,
:26:20. > :26:24.the visitors' TASS became even harder. Although a man of, the
:26:24. > :26:31.hosts struggled to press their advantage. Garcia's late equaliser
:26:31. > :26:35.ensured a fraught final few minutes. It was Chelsea who claimed the next
:26:35. > :26:39.goal. Merieles finishing in style to send the English side through.
:26:39. > :26:47.One step closer on the road to European glory, and a step up in
:26:47. > :26:53.class now awaits. That step up in class is against one of one of the
:26:53. > :26:57.greatest club side ever to grace the game, Barcelona. Chelsea won't
