:01:43. > :01:47.Good evening. David Cameron is in India for a three-day visit aimed
:01:47. > :01:50.at doubling trade by 2015. The Prime Minister said he hoped the
:01:51. > :01:54.trip would open doors for British business and announced he would
:01:54. > :01:58.ease visa restrictions on business people and students come together
:01:58. > :02:01.UK. Mr Cameron made it clear that in return he wanted India to remove
:02:01. > :02:07.barriers to investment for UK-based companies. This report from our
:02:08. > :02:12.Deputy Political Editor James Landale. Today in Mumbai, the Prime
:02:12. > :02:17.Minister went out to bat, not just for a local street team, but also
:02:17. > :02:22.for British business. I'd forgotten how tiring this is. Cricket may be
:02:22. > :02:28.one of our greatest exports to India. David Cameron doesn't want
:02:28. > :02:34.it to be our last. But whatever the spin, when it comes to pitching for
:02:34. > :02:38.business here, Britain still has much to learn. That's why he
:02:38. > :02:42.arrived with what he said was the largest trade delegation a British
:02:42. > :02:47.Prime Minister has take an broad. The UK, he said, is on the track --
:02:47. > :02:51.on track to double its trade here by 2015 but it had to do more. He
:02:51. > :02:56.promised Indian businessmen a fast- track visa and... In terms of
:02:56. > :03:00.university students we have a clear message here in India this week,
:03:00. > :03:03.which is there is no limit on the number of Indian students that can
:03:03. > :03:07.come and study in British universities. They need an English
:03:07. > :03:11.language qualification and a place, but there's no limit on the numbers.
:03:11. > :03:15.So as many of you who can get places at our great universities
:03:15. > :03:19.are welcome to come. He said Britain could over the people of
:03:19. > :03:22.India expertise in energy, infrastructure and education,
:03:22. > :03:27.particularly by investing in a so- called bills corridor between
:03:27. > :03:31.Mumbai and Bangalore to the south. In return the Prime Minister said
:03:31. > :03:35.that India should once again be a gateway to global trade, opening up
:03:35. > :03:38.its markets and banking and insurance to Britain and the world,
:03:38. > :03:41.in the hope that just possibly Britain could land a few deals on
:03:41. > :03:47.the way. Like the one France won last year
:03:47. > :03:51.to sell hundreds of jets to India, a deal that has yet to be signed.
:03:52. > :03:56.Mr Cameron said he would remind Delhi that the part British euro
:03:56. > :04:00.fighters were still available if the French deal fell through. You
:04:00. > :04:04.say you want a special relationship with India. But does India want a
:04:04. > :04:08.special relationship with Britain? The signs are very good. Half of
:04:08. > :04:13.Indian investment into Europe comes to Britain and Britain is now the
:04:13. > :04:15.largest European investor into India. I think the basis for that
:04:15. > :04:18.special relationship and partnership is absolutely there.
:04:18. > :04:22.This is going to be the third largest economy in the world by
:04:22. > :04:26.2030. I want to make sure it's British firms that are helping to
:04:26. > :04:33.build those hospitals, construct those roads, provide those
:04:33. > :04:37.universities and we want a real exchange between our countries. (
:04:37. > :04:40.Britain's relationship with India is not just about trade. Today Mr
:04:40. > :04:50.Cameron paid tribute to the hundreds who died and were injured
:04:50. > :04:51.
:04:51. > :04:54.in the Islamist attacks on Mumbai in 2008. Tomorrow his talks with
:04:54. > :04:59.the Indian Prime Minister will focus on the joint fight against
:04:59. > :05:05.terrorism. Earlier I spoke to James and asked
:05:05. > :05:09.him whether trips like this make a difference. Yes and no. Clearly, a
:05:09. > :05:12.trip like this opens doors and creates new relationships. It
:05:12. > :05:15.drives momentum by all the deals that follow through. It makes
:05:15. > :05:19.everything official. One of the businessmen on the trip said simply
:05:19. > :05:24.the fact of having his photograph taken with the Prime Minister and
:05:24. > :05:27.senior Indian politicians he sticks it on his website and that gives
:05:27. > :05:32.him credibility here and drives new orders. We are starting from a very,
:05:32. > :05:35.very low base. At the moment, Belgium has more bilateral trade
:05:35. > :05:39.with India than the UK. There's a huge amount to do. The Prime
:05:39. > :05:42.Minister came on one of these trips two-and-a-half years ago. There
:05:42. > :05:47.wasn't as much impact as people had expected at the time. These trips
:05:47. > :05:49.can make a difference, but only if there's sustained follow through in
:05:49. > :05:54.the months and years ahead. Prime Minister has been talking
:05:54. > :06:00.about women in politics. Tell us more about that. Well, the Prime
:06:00. > :06:03.Minister went to a question and answer session at Unilever's
:06:03. > :06:07.headquarters here. He doesn't just get asked about trade and foreign
:06:07. > :06:11.affairs. He was asked how he stays fit. He goes to bed early. He was
:06:11. > :06:14.asked about tax avoidance. Not surprisingly he's against it. He
:06:14. > :06:18.was asked about the role of women in society. He said he felt there
:06:18. > :06:23.were not enough women at the top table of politics, the judiciary
:06:23. > :06:26.both here and in the UK. He said it's not just good enough to have a
:06:26. > :06:30.level playing field, companies had to be more proactive if getting
:06:30. > :06:33.women to the top table. He was open about who was driving this policy.
:06:33. > :06:36.It wasn't the Civil Service or his favourite think-tank or his
:06:36. > :06:39.political advisors, it was his wife, Samantha.
:06:39. > :06:43.Tributes have been paid to the actor Richard Briers, who's died at
:06:43. > :06:48.the age of 79. He was best known to millions for his enduring role in
:06:48. > :06:50.the sitcom The Good Life. The star who was also known for his
:06:50. > :06:57.Shakespearean roles has been battling a serious lung condition
:06:57. > :07:01.for a number of years. Nick Higham looks back at his life. You are not
:07:01. > :07:07.stachy Margo. You're a very attractive woman. I am not. Yes,
:07:07. > :07:12.you are. I'll tell you something else, you've got a very sexy neck.

:07:48. > :07:52.perfectly correct. It is you. many tributes have been paid how
:07:52. > :07:57.about wonderful he was, what a nice person, everyone felt they knew him,
:07:57. > :08:01.he was loved, he was a national treasure. So often when people die
:08:01. > :08:05.you might be sitting at home thinking, "Oh, there must be a
:08:05. > :08:11.chink somewhere in that." But with Richard there wasn't. He was what
:08:11. > :08:16.he said on the tin - a thoroughly nice chap. He'd started acting in
:08:16. > :08:21.the RAF. At drama school he shone, playing hamlet no less. I got a
:08:21. > :08:23.notice from Darlington the great critic in the Tell graph. He said,
:08:23. > :08:31."Last night British Airways British Airways British Airways played the
:08:31. > :08:37.part of hamlet like a deplted typewriter." His nervous energy and
:08:37. > :08:41.machine-gun delivery brought him work on television. Yes, sir.
:08:41. > :08:50.done. He became a household name in Marriage Lines with Prunella Scales.
:08:50. > :08:56.It isn't a pie if it hasn't got a top, it's a stew. He was like Tom
:08:56. > :09:00.Good in The Good Life. I more or less played myself, a highly strung
:09:00. > :09:03.person, desperate to get things right. After The Good Life he
:09:03. > :09:08.stretched himself in. Restoration comedy and in Shakespeare with
:09:08. > :09:12.Kenneth Branagh. Dickie and I agreed that we're both the quickest
:09:12. > :09:17.hamlets on record. He wishes he had a recording of his to see if he was
:09:17. > :09:21.quicker than me. I don't think he was. I believe, yet I hold not
:09:21. > :09:29.honesty to have it not set down that you yourself Sir Shall grow
:09:29. > :09:33.old, like a crab you could go backward. Branagh directed him as
:09:33. > :09:39.King Lear and in films like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein opposite

:10:05. > :10:14.wasn't until late in his career that he got the chance to show just
:10:14. > :10:17.how much more. Richard Briers, who's died aged 79.
:10:17. > :10:21.The food retail industry is determined to restore confidence in
:10:21. > :10:24.its products following the horsemeat scandal. That's according
:10:24. > :10:27.to Environment Secretary Owen Paterson who met bosses from
:10:27. > :10:33.leading supermarkets today. New figures sales of frozen burgers
:10:34. > :10:38.have fallen sharply since the scandal started.
:10:39. > :10:42.The Government is clear, the people ultimately responsible for the food
:10:42. > :10:44.on the supermarket shelves are those who sell it, even if
:10:44. > :10:49.sometimes what's inside the package isn't necessarily written on the
:10:49. > :10:52.outside. So today those people were invited to the Environment
:10:52. > :10:56.Secretary's office where retailers confirmed tests on the vast
:10:56. > :10:59.majority of processed beef are expected to be completed this week.
:10:59. > :11:02.We're getting more and more confident that we are going up the
:11:02. > :11:05.supply chain and certainly with the DEFRA and Secretary of State's
:11:05. > :11:10.support we're uncovering what is clearing an adulteration issue
:11:10. > :11:14.further up the chain. Consumer confidence is now key. A new survey
:11:14. > :11:20.suggests that though sales of burgers have dropped shoppers
:11:20. > :11:25.haven't desserted them all together. But more than 900,000 households
:11:25. > :11:28.have stopped buying frozen burgers, mainly own brands. Though 1.6
:11:28. > :11:33.million households were still buying them up to the beginning of
:11:33. > :11:37.February. Overall sales though have declined for major retailers.
:11:37. > :11:42.was salute determination in the industry to restore confidence in
:11:42. > :11:47.their products and I'm pleased to say we look forward to meeting on a
:11:47. > :11:52.regular basis to absolutely make it clear that when consumers buy a
:11:52. > :11:56.product they get what they bought. Not all supermarkets have had to
:11:56. > :12:00.remove products from their shelves. Some have tried to shine a light on
:12:00. > :12:02.other areas of the food industry and part of the issue has been the
:12:02. > :12:07.complex supply chain passing through different companies and
:12:07. > :12:11.countries. It's clear now that the retailers are taking responsibility
:12:11. > :12:16.for the products that they sell. That's very, very logical. But I do
:12:16. > :12:19.think that the Government has a role in placing what those
:12:19. > :12:23.retailers are doing just to make sure that the standards are
:12:23. > :12:28.maintained. A customer base which has its eyes fixed on certain goods
:12:28. > :12:33.at certain prices is also said to be putting pressure on the system.
:12:33. > :12:37.Should consumers be less demanding? Should retailers take all the
:12:37. > :12:40.responsibility? Do regulations need to change? And what the suppliers?
:12:40. > :12:46.The extent of the scandal may be emerging but the solutions are far
:12:46. > :12:49.from clear. The Government has confirmed that

:12:53. > :12:56.They'll carry out infantry and artillery training for the Malian
