:03:27. > :03:32.as a preacher I know you can't deport me. You'll have to put me
:03:32. > :03:36.somewhere else which is God's kingdom. As for the charges Abu
:03:36. > :03:41.Hamza is facing, he is said to have been involved in a plot to kidnap
:03:41. > :03:47.Westerners in Yemen. Four Britons died. Inside the US, he is accused
:03:47. > :03:51.of conspiring to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon. For years
:03:51. > :03:54.his power base was Finsbury Park Mosque in north London. In the late
:03:54. > :03:58.90s, this man worked as an informant inside the mosque,
:03:59. > :04:07.gathering intelligence for the police and MI5. I would describe
:04:07. > :04:11.Abu Hamza as a terrorist in chief. Very dangerous person. But pre-
:04:11. > :04:20.9/11, that wasn't how the British authorities viewed him. He was seen
:04:20. > :04:24.at the time as a clown, a big mouth. With Abu Hamza in charge, Finsbury
:04:24. > :04:28.Park Mosque became a breeding ground for extremists and some who
:04:28. > :04:36.fell under have it -- his influence here went on to commit acts of
:04:36. > :04:40.terrorism. Hussain Osman was one of the 21/7 terraced sale who tried to

:04:43. > :04:49.others facing extradition with Abu Hamza are wanted on a range of
:04:49. > :04:53.charges, including the bombing of two US embassies. One is accused of
:04:54. > :04:57.over 269 counts of murder. Another of the four is BABA Ahmed, I
:04:57. > :05:02.recently interviewed in prison by the BBC. He is accused of running a
:05:02. > :05:05.website said to have been used to help finance terrorism. First in
:05:05. > :05:10.Chechnya and then in Afghanistan. His family say he should stand
:05:10. > :05:15.trial in Britain. British justice appears to have been sub-contracted
:05:15. > :05:20.to the US. This should be immediately rectified by putting
:05:20. > :05:25.him on trial in the UK. BABA Ahmed is one of those who could end up
:05:25. > :05:30.here, America's modern-day Alcatraz. A supermax prison in Colorado
:05:30. > :05:35.called ADX Florence. Abu Hamza will not be sent here because of his
:05:35. > :05:38.disabilities. He has lost both arms and is blind in one eye. For the
:05:38. > :05:45.United States, today is a landmark in a legal marathon which has cost
:05:46. > :05:50.millions. Our extradition partners around the world can rest assured
:05:50. > :05:55.that the defendants who are extradited will receive fair and
:05:55. > :06:00.just proceedings in criminal cases in the United States. Also facing
:06:00. > :06:04.possible extradition is a 6th man, Haroon Aswat. The European decision
:06:04. > :06:07.on him has been adjourned because of the state of his melt -- mental
:06:07. > :06:12.health. Our home editor, Mark Easton, is
:06:12. > :06:17.with me tonight. A very long process so far and still not a
:06:17. > :06:25.guaranteed end. Absolutely. Years and years of legal argument and we
:06:25. > :06:28.are still not quite there. One more avenue. They can make an appeal to
:06:28. > :06:32.the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights. Many have
:06:32. > :06:38.tried to go to the Grand Chamber, but few succeed. Were they to do so,
:06:38. > :06:41.these five, who knows how long that would take. If they don't, three
:06:41. > :06:45.months to appeal and that the end of that three months, the
:06:45. > :06:49.expectation is they will be on an aeroplane and sent out to the
:06:50. > :06:54.States. But you're right, this goes back in some cases to the late 90s.
:06:54. > :06:58.The reason it has taken so long, I think, is because we are witnessing
:06:58. > :07:04.what happens when the Americans pursue their global war on terror,
:07:04. > :07:08.their determination to bring people to justice in America. In doing
:07:08. > :07:11.that through the extradition process, they are finding different
:07:12. > :07:15.jurisdictions, different cultures, politics, rubbing up against each
:07:15. > :07:22.other, all the processes of appeals and legal arguments that go with
:07:22. > :07:26.that. So we have Egyptian and Saudi nationals in English jails, pursued
:07:26. > :07:30.by the American authorities and the future of their case decided in a
:07:30. > :07:33.French court. These are the consequences of a search by the
:07:33. > :07:37.Americans for global justice. Although this case may be close to
:07:37. > :07:41.completion, I think there will be many more cases that begin to test
:07:41. > :07:44.some of those ideas further. Thank you.
:07:44. > :07:47.In Syria, opposition groups say 1,000 people have been killed by
:07:47. > :07:50.government forces in the past eight days. There was more violence today,
:07:50. > :07:55.damaging hopes for a peace plan brokered by Kofi Annan, the former
:07:55. > :07:59.UN Secretary-General. That plan was due to be implemented today. The
:08:00. > :08:02.worst of the unrest has been in the cities of Homs, Aleppo and Damascus.
:08:02. > :08:05.The latest violence happened as Mr Annan was visiting Syria's border
:08:05. > :08:10.with Turkey, where tens of thousands of people have fled to
:08:10. > :08:20.escape the attacks. Mr Annan spoke to refugees at the Yaladack refugee
:08:20. > :08:22.
:08:22. > :08:32.camp. From there, the BBC's Fergal If peace is about to dawn, there's
:08:32. > :08:32.
:08:32. > :08:39.This is the voice of the cameraman filming the violence. This is Homs,
:08:39. > :08:44.he says, it is being destroyed by a random shelling today, April 10th.
:08:44. > :08:49.In Homs and in other embattled towns, the destruction seems if
:08:49. > :08:55.anything to be escalating. And with time running out on his peace
:08:55. > :09:00.mission, Kofi Annan came to visit the refugees of serious violence.
:09:00. > :09:06.Here there was a welcome. Most of these victims have fled from the
:09:06. > :09:11.north of the country, with stories of killing and torture. All day,
:09:11. > :09:16.the cavalcade moved from camp to camp. Some of the refugees we met
:09:16. > :09:20.clung to the hope his mission might still work. Maybe something will
:09:20. > :09:25.happen in Syria, this woman told us, and we can go back to our families
:09:25. > :09:29.and children. Kofi Annan has been asked for solutions he can't
:09:29. > :09:33.deliver. For some it is a question of achieving a ceasefire and being
:09:33. > :09:38.able to go home, but a growing number of voices here are demanding
:09:38. > :09:43.that the opposition be armed and achieve a military victory. The
:09:43. > :09:50.mood of militancy is growing. These men told us they were from the Free
:09:50. > :09:54.Syrian Army and had little faith in Kofi Annan's mission. TRANSLATION:
:09:54. > :10:01.We want NATO to come to Syria and give weapons to the Free Syrian

:10:06. > :10:10.the clock ticks on the UN's deadline and Kofi Annan's deadline
:10:10. > :10:13.-- mission looks increasingly forlorn. Let me appeal to the
:10:13. > :10:19.Syrian government and Syrian parties to cease violence in
:10:19. > :10:23.accordance with the plan and I believe there should be no
:10:23. > :10:26.preconditions for stopping violence. But in Moscow, where he met his
:10:26. > :10:34.Russian counterpart, Syria's foreign minister claimed his side
:10:34. > :10:39.was abiding by the agreement. TRANSLATION: We have withdrawn some
:10:39. > :10:44.military units from some provinces, we have allowed more media channels
:10:44. > :10:50.to enter Syria and we have reached agreement to allow humanitarian aid
:10:50. > :10:54.inside. Nobody in the camps believes a word of that. After Mr
:10:54. > :11:00.Anand, there were visitors with a very different message to his hope
:11:00. > :11:05.for persuasion. This is a war. Diplomacy with Assad has failed and
:11:05. > :11:11.it will continue to fail so long as Assad thinks he can defeat the
:11:11. > :11:17.opposition in Syria militarily. rhetoric won't bring military
:11:17. > :11:23.intervention closer. But it echoes a mood that rejects any compromise
:11:23. > :11:26.with the regime. Cancer Research UK has warned of a
:11:26. > :11:30.serious impact on the work of charities if the Government limits
:11:30. > :11:33.the tax relief on charitable donations. Ministers say they're
:11:33. > :11:37.concerned that some wealthy people are reducing their tax bills by
:11:37. > :11:40.abusing the system. But charities say that portraying philanthropists

:11:51. > :11:55.economics correspondent Hugh Pym Major charities claim they will be
:11:55. > :11:59.among the losers as a result of the Chancellor's crackdown on use of
:11:59. > :12:05.tax reliefs by the wealthy. They say donations will suffer because
:12:05. > :12:09.of Mr Osborne's Budget announcement. We have capped benefits, now it is
:12:09. > :12:13.right to cap tax reliefs, too. a few weeks on there are warnings
:12:13. > :12:16.that vital research work like this could be affected. Some leading
:12:16. > :12:20.charities, including this Cancer Research Organisation, are now
:12:20. > :12:24.concerned because they think the Chancellor's new rules could hit
:12:24. > :12:27.their income. Wealthy donors could be deterred because of the
:12:27. > :12:31.restrictions on the amount of tax relief they will be able to claim.
:12:31. > :12:36.This charity says some of its donors have already warned they are
:12:36. > :12:39.reconsidering how much they give. We are building a very important
:12:39. > :12:43.new medical research facility right now in London for which we are
:12:43. > :12:48.entirely reliant on the generosity of wealthy philanthropists who are
:12:48. > :12:51.affected by this measure. Some of whom have already called me to say
:12:51. > :12:54.they are expecting to reduce their donations in the future.
:12:54. > :12:59.Chancellor wants to limit the percentage of income which can be
:12:59. > :13:03.deployed to reduce tax bills. Someone with income of �600,000 a
:13:03. > :13:07.year is currently not restricted on tax relief on charity donations.
:13:08. > :13:11.From next year, they will be able to get tax relief on no more than
:13:11. > :13:15.150,000 of donations under the new rules. One leading philanthropist
:13:15. > :13:20.who has given away tens of millions told us the Government's plan is
:13:20. > :13:23.unfair to genuine donors. Frankly, I was shocked and horrified because
:13:23. > :13:27.there was absolutely no warning that anything like this was coming
:13:27. > :13:30.and from the point of view of discouraging philanthropists, I
:13:31. > :13:34.doubt if they could have done anything more effective. Mr Osborne
:13:34. > :13:37.said today he was shocked to discover some of the wealthiest
:13:37. > :13:41.people in the country were paying virtually no income tax because of
:13:41. > :13:44.the use of a whole range of tax reliefs. He said he wanted to make
:13:44. > :13:49.sure philanthropy was encouraged and there would be consultation
:13:49. > :13:53.with charities. But with this website set up to oppose the plans,
:13:53. > :13:57.a campaign bandwagon run by the Charities is up and running. They
:13:57. > :14:00.argue even if a way around Mr Osborne's Rules has agreed with the
:14:00. > :14:10.Treasury, the uncertainty and delay will still hit donations which

:14:15. > :14:19.of a British businessman in China has deepened with the news of the
:14:19. > :14:25.Chinese authorities treating his death as murder, and implicated the
:14:25. > :14:31.wife of a prominent politician. The body of Neil Heywood was found in a
:14:31. > :14:38.hotel last year. Today, the wife of Bo Xilai, was placed under
:14:38. > :14:43.investigation. Bo Xilai himself has also been suspended from the party.
:14:43. > :14:48.Chongqing is a city of intrigue. Neil Heywood died in a hotel room
:14:48. > :14:54.here last year. The businessman was a close family friend of one of
:14:54. > :14:59.China's top politicians, Bo Xilai. Now, in an extraordinary twist, the
:14:59. > :15:03.Chinese authorities suspect his wife, Gu Kalai, was involved in
:15:03. > :15:10.Neil Heywood's murder. The British government pushed authorities to
:15:10. > :15:15.reopen the case. Chinese officials officially said the businessman's
:15:15. > :15:20.death was accidental after excessive drinking. It is the death
:15:20. > :15:25.that needs to be investigated on its own merits without political
:15:25. > :15:30.considerations and so I hope they will go about it in that way.
:15:30. > :15:35.investigation goes to the very heart of power in China. Neil
:15:35. > :15:41.Heywood was prized for his contact with Bo Xilai. Bo Xilai had been
:15:41. > :15:45.tipped for the top of Chinese politics but he is also under
:15:45. > :15:49.investigation after his police chief apparently tried to defect to
