:16:34. > :16:39.reason I decided to do this job. The reason I did this was to get
:16:39. > :16:43.back out here and to carry on with a job. He deployed to Afghanistan
:16:43. > :16:48.under something of a cloud. Shortly before he left, on a private visit
:16:48. > :16:50.to Las Vegas, he made what he accepts it as a serious mistake. He
:16:50. > :16:57.was photographed naked playing strip billiards and a naked woman
:16:57. > :17:00.was with him. I have probably done what other people have done. But it
:17:00. > :17:06.was in a private area and there should be privacy that people
:17:06. > :17:11.should expect. It was too much army and not enough prints. This is my
:17:11. > :17:14.bed and I do not make it when I come down here. He was in
:17:14. > :17:19.Afghanistan over Christmas. One of the guys, part of the gang, as he
:17:19. > :17:24.puts it. He was also there when the news of the Duchess of Cambridge's
:17:24. > :17:28.pregnancy was made public. I had a chat to them. I did not send a

:18:53. > :18:57.Channel at 10:30pm tonight. The Government has seen off an
:18:57. > :19:01.attempt tonight to block its plans to introduce a 1% cap on many
:19:01. > :19:04.working age benefits and tax credits. During an earlier debate
:19:04. > :19:07.in the Commons, the shadow employment minister Stephen Timms
:19:07. > :19:11.hinted that Labour would restore the link between benefits and
:19:11. > :19:17.inflation. James Landale is at Westminster for us now. What
:19:17. > :19:22.exactly did he say? In the last few minutes, MPs have now voted to
:19:22. > :19:25.increase that array of working age benefits and tax credits by just 1%.
:19:25. > :19:31.That is less than inflation, and effective real terms cut. The
:19:31. > :19:34.Government says it has to happen to cut the deficit and Labour says it
:19:34. > :19:40.is unfairly targeting the less well-off in society. Labour has
:19:40. > :19:44.never said what it would do instead. Today in the House of Commons, the
:19:44. > :19:48.shadow Welfare Minister, Stephen Timms, gave a pretty clear answer.
:19:48. > :19:54.He was asked by a Conservative MP if it was now Labour's division to
:19:54. > :20:02.increase the benefits in line with inflation. Is that a commitment, he
:20:02. > :20:07.asked. He replied, indeed. Operating should be in line with
:20:07. > :20:12.inflation, as it always has been. But within minutes Labour said that
:20:12. > :20:15.was not a commitment. The bottom line is that cutting benefits is
:20:15. > :20:19.politically difficult and Labour will have to face those difficult
:20:19. > :20:22.choices. The question is how long they will be able to sustain the
:20:22. > :20:28.position of opposing cuts on the one hand and on the other, not
:20:28. > :20:31.saying what they would do instead. At 24 year-old woman remains in a
:20:31. > :20:36.critical stage in hospital following the avalanche that killed
:20:37. > :20:40.four walkers in Glencoe on Saturday. Police have named the 4th person
:20:40. > :20:46.who died as 29 year-old Rachel Majumdar, a hospital doctor in

:21:45. > :21:49.what many on the Israeli right privately think. Do you support the
:21:49. > :21:53.creation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank? If not, how do you

:22:05. > :22:10.Palestinians. They want a full- blown state. I believe that we
:22:11. > :22:15.cannot give a full-blown estate. But Binyamin Netanyahu is expected
:22:15. > :22:19.to be returned as Prime Minister. Campaign adverts claim that only he
:22:19. > :22:26.has the strength to deal with Israel's enemies, Iran and
:22:26. > :22:29.Hezbollah. In recent months, Binyamin Netanyahu has tried to

:22:41. > :22:46.Even that is not enough to appease some of his critics and former

:22:51. > :22:55.a surge in settlement expansion. Not enough for those on the
:22:55. > :23:02.religious right, who say that he is still not tough enough on the
:23:02. > :23:09.Palestinians. I think Israel has to be strong in negotiations. By being
:23:09. > :23:12.weak in negotiations, that is detrimental to our security.
:23:12. > :23:18.others are worried that Binyamin Netanyahu's decision to form an
:23:18. > :23:23.alliance with the ultra-nationalist Avigdor Lieberman could hit Israel
:23:23. > :23:27.overseas. Israel is going to be under the brand of increased

:23:31. > :23:35.coming from its friends, Europe and the United States, not from the

:24:15. > :24:20.critic Michael Winner has died at the age of 77. He had been
:24:20. > :24:22.suffering from cancer. He made more than 30 films, including the
:24:22. > :24:28.successful Death Wish films starring Charles Bronson. He was
:24:28. > :24:31.also famous for his restaurant, and win and dinners in the Sunday Times.

:24:35. > :24:40.In later life, Michael Winner became famous for a TV commercial
:24:40. > :24:43.catchphrase. Calm down, dear. It is a commercial. The phrase became so
:24:43. > :24:51.popular that even the Prime Minister used it. But once he had
:24:51. > :24:54.been known mainly as a film director. Their violence made his
:24:54. > :24:59.films controversial. The star of this one summed up the contrasting
:24:59. > :25:05.sides of his character. Michael is an absolute monster but he has a
:25:05. > :25:09.wicked sense of humour and I like that, I really like to laugh.
:25:09. > :25:16.started making films in the 1960s, many starring Oliver Reed and many
:25:16. > :25:20.praised by the critics. The Jokers was one. I am not rich. I am just
:25:20. > :25:26.on a conveyor belt. I will set my brother on you. He can be extremely
:25:26. > :25:29.violent. I am going to kill you, son. The film that made him
:25:29. > :25:35.notorious was Death Wish, about a middle-class vigilante played by
:25:35. > :25:39.Charles Bronson. I said to Charley, I have got this script, about a man
:25:39. > :25:49.whose wife is marred and goes out and shoot them. He said he would
:25:49. > :25:51.
:25:51. > :25:56.like to do it. I said issued a movie? And he said, no, get muggers.
:25:56. > :25:59.He was also a bombastic restaurant critic who paved the way for others
:25:59. > :26:03.like him. He would like to be remembered as a great film director
:26:03. > :26:07.but that will not happen. Almost everybody who made a film with him,
:26:07. > :26:11.that is their worst film, except Charles Bronson. He will be
:26:11. > :26:17.remembered by me as an entertaining restaurant critic and by the world
:26:17. > :26:23.as the man in the insurance adverts. I don't think he would care. Later
:26:23. > :26:32.he founded the Police Memorial Trust for offices killed in a line
:26:32. > :26:36.of duty. He met his wife in 1997 and beforehand he had many younger
:26:36. > :26:39.girlfriends, like Jenny Seagrove. The man himself was rude,
:26:39. > :26:43.outrageous, entertaining and quite able to take the mickey out of
