masked men steal more than �30 million worth of gems from a plane | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
at Brussels Airport. On the front line in Syria, as the | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
rebels try to take control of Aleppo's airport. We have a special | :00:57. | :01:06. | |
report. I can actually just see the airstrip and the main airport | :01:06. | :01:15. | |
building. Older power stations are closing. | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
Now a warning that fuel bills will increase, as Britain becomes more | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
reliant on imported energy. And the pregnant Duchess of | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Cambridge is defended by the Prime Minister after criticism from the | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
novelist Hilary Mantel. She writes great books but what she says is | :01:27. | :01:37. | |

of Arsenal's Champions' League Good evening. The South African | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
star Oscar Pistorius claims he shot his girlfriend because he thought | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
she was an intruder and he said the couple were deeply in love. 700 | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
miles away, the woman he killed on Valentine's day, Reeva Steenkamp, | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
was being cremated. In court the prosecution accused the Paralympic | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
champion of premeditated murder saying he deliberately shot her | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
four times through a locked bathroom door. Oscar Pistorius is | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
back in police cells tonight. Tomorrow he will be told if he will | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
be released on bail or held in prison. Andrew Harding reports from | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
Pretoria. He spent five nights behind bars. | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
Oscar Pistorius back in court this morning for a bail hearing. His | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
family gathering again to support the man they believe killed his | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in a terrible accident. But in the | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
courtroom, the prosecution came out fighting, arguing that Pistorius | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
had planned to murder. The magistrate took that on board when | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
he ruled that he would be treating this case as one of premeditated | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
murder, with a possible rise sentence. Pistorius and his father | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
took the news hard. The court is on a short break but this is where | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
Oscar Pistorius's family have been sitting, and just in front of them, | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
the bench where Oscar Pistorius has been sitting very emotional, | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
repeatedly breaking down, especially when the magistrate | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
announced he would be treating this as premeditated murder. His lawyers | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
busy preparing their evidence. And from this team came the first | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
detailed description of what Oscar Pistorius says happened between him | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
and Reeva Steenkamp last Thursday morning. The couple were in bed | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
asleep at Pistorius's home, the athlete said. There he woke up, | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
then heard a noise from the bathroom. He says he was not | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
wearing his prosthetic legs and felt vulnerable and afraid. He | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
shouted, then moved to the bathroom door and fired four shots through | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
it. It was only when he returned and found the bed was empty that | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
Oscar Pistorius said he realised he may have made a terrible mistake. | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
He picked up a cricket bat, or went back to the bathroom door and | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
smashed it enforce dog inside he found his girlfriend dying. He | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
picked up her body, to give downstairs, where he says she died | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
in his arms. This morning, Reeva's family gathered in the coastal city | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
of Port Elizabeth for a private memorial service. She was 30 years | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
old, a well-known celebrity, model and law student who had been dating | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
Oscar Pistorius since November. There has been much talk of | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
Pistorius's violent temper but today friends of the victim and the | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
athlete made statements in court saying the couple had been in love | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
and was starting to entertain thoughts of marriage. We are here | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
today as a family and there is only one thing missing, it is Reeva... | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
We have got together... But we missed one. Oscar Pistorius's bail | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
hearing will resume tomorrow, with the prosecution seeking to | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
challenge his version of events. A full trial could well be many | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
months away. It is one of the biggest diamonds | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
heists in history. Gems worth tens of millions of pounds have been | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
stolen from a passenger plane as it prepared to depart from Brussels | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
International Airport. Masked gunmen forced their way through a | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
perimeter fence, and held up a security van loading the diamonds | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
on to the plane. The passengers on board were oblivious. | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
The tarmac of an international airport is supposed to be one of | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
the most secure environments but last night a gang armed with | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
suspiciously good information swooped on a Swiss air passenger | :05:56. | :06:05. | |
plane and pulled off one of the biggest diamond heists in history. | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
This was a very quick hit and run, very well organised. There was no | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
shooting or injuries. The diamonds were transferred from a Brinks | :06:14. | :06:24. | |
warehouse to the cargo doors of a Zurich bound aircraft. Two vehicles | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
carrying up to eight men crashed through the perimeter fence. The | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
eight menu which packages they wanted, it soon it escaping with | :06:34. | :06:42. | |
�30 million worth of rough diamonds. Police later found a burnt-out van | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
close to the airport, where the trail goes cold. But not far from | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
Brussels is Antwerp, where they process and export 80% of the | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
world's rough diamonds. They go to extraordinary lengths here to keep | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
their lifeblood safe. I am frustrated, yes. Because knowing | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
the world we are in, with high- security, terrorism alerts, things | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
like that could happen in a country like Belgium, in Europe, is simply | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
unacceptable. A theft, and as easy as this one, is an embarrassment to | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
the industry's highly polished image, but it is not a first. Ten | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
years ago almost to the day, an Italian gang walked into this | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
diamond centre behind me, opened 123 of 160 maximum-security vaults | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
and walked away with $100 million in diamonds. The ringleader of that | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
group had worked in this building for almost two years. The lesson | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
being - you can't pull off something like this without | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
detailed insider knowledge. Someone surely knew of the impending | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
transfer. The experts think the gang would have a buyer in mind and | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
the stones will almost certainly be recut. In all probability, they | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
have already crossed the border. David Cameron's plan to build a | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
special relationship with India ran into difficulties today on a visit | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
to Delhi. The Indian Prime Minister raised what he called very serious | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
concerns about corruption allegations relating to the sale of | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
British-made helicopters to the Indian air force. James Landale is | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
travelling with the Prime Minister. His piece contains flash | :08:11. | :08:21. | |
:08:21. | :08:23. | ||
They screamed and shouted, they could not contain their excitement. | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
Today David Cameron visited a girls' college in a deli and what a | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
welcome they gave. -- in Delhi. At least to the man standing next to | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
the Prime Minister, Amir Khan, Bollywood's most famous film-star. | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
An event to discuss education, but pictures also for the Indian voters | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
back home. Earlier at the reception was, let's just say, more formal. | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
India's Prime Minister chose publicly to explain why he put | :08:57. | :09:04. | |
plans to buy British helicopters on hold. I also conveyed to the Prime | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
Minister our very serious concerns regarding allegations about | :09:06. | :09:14. | |
unethical means used in securing the 2010 contract for Augusta | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
Westland helicopters. So much for the special relationship. Mr | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
Cameron made clear the bribery allegations focused on Augusta | :09:23. | :09:32. | |
Westland's parent company in Italy. Isn't this a test of the special | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
relationship with India? They are under political pressure to tackle | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
corruption but that could cost jobs in the south-west of England? | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
want to make sure that Augusta Westland, which is an excellent | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
company with a very skilled work force, and continues to succeed but | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
I will work closely with the Indians if necessary to make sure | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
they get to the bottom of what has happened. The Prime Minister also | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
met a group of women who drive taxis, a rare sight here. | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
Are you qualified? He was told by his hosts to allow | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
more young people like these into Britain. He said Goodall was all | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
with open to students and graduates, but... -- blue door was always open. | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
We should never be a soft touch. So we are looking at the housing, | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
education, benefit system, so that people cannot come who wanted to | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
use this systems and not work. presents the British Prime Minister | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
with a paradox. Public adulation one minute, a public rebuke the | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
next. This trip has opened doors but Britain is not quite India's | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
partner of choice, at least not yet. A man who caused a massive gas | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
explosion at his home in Greater Manchester killing a two-year-old | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
boy next door has been jailed for ten years. Eight houses were | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
destroyed in the Shaw area when Andrew Partington cut two gas pipes | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
after arguing with his partner, and later lit a cigarette. Two-year-old | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
Jamie Heaton, who had been watching television next door, died in the | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
blast. The judge said Partington had in effect created a bomb. | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
One of three family members in Britain struck down by a rare SARS- | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
like virus has died in hospital in Birmingham. The man, who has not | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
been named, already had an underlying illness that weakened | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
his immune system. Of the 12 people known to have been infected with | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
the virus worldwide, six have now died. Health officials are | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
stressing that the threat posed to the public by the virus is still | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
very low. There is a warning that people will | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
have to pay more for gas and electricity over the next few years | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
as older power stations are closed before new ones come on stream. The | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
head of the energy regulator Ofgem says the energy market is facing a | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
near crisis, as demand for gas increases. This report from our | :11:49. | :11:57. | |
industry correspondent. There is a perfect storm of roaring | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
across the energy world, with the likelihood of higher prices ahead | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
and serious questions over whether the likes will stay on in the | :12:04. | :12:14. | |
future. In a month, 10% of our power capacity goes off for good. | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
Within three years, it will be very tight. EU environmental targets | :12:20. | :12:28. | |
means that dirty political pot plants have to shut. These nine | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
power stations were all close in the coming years, some in a matter | :12:31. | :12:39. | |
of weeks, and that leaves all of us more dependent on gas. By 2020, 70% | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
of our electricity could be generated this way and with global | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
gas supplied expected to be tight, prices are expected to rise. Harsh | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
news when average household bills are already over �1,400. 6 million | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
families in this country living fuel poverty, spending more than | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
10% of their income on energy, and that will rise to 9 million in the | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
next few years. So we have got to protect the least well-off and | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
insulate homes better. government wants the UK to have a | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
mix of energy sources. It is currently negotiating with EDF over | :13:15. | :13:23. | |
plans that show macro nuclear reactors at Hinkley Point -- plans | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
for two nuclear reactors. But those talks are in trouble and it could | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
be difficult times ahead. It will be tricky to get rid this | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
transition period into the new world at a price which is | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
affordable to people and keeps the industry competitive. | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
government says its energy bill will ensure there is sufficient | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
supply when margins get tired and also incentivise �110 billion of | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
private sector investment in clean power generation. | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
Coming up on tonight's programme: Trouble for Arsenal in the | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
Champions League as Bayern Munich take control at the Emirates | :14:01. | :14:11. | |
As the United Nations warns of worsening human rights violations | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
and war crimes in Syria, the number of people being killed continues to | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
grow. Activists say 110 people have died in the violence today alone, | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
among them children. Our correspondent, Ian Pannell and | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
cameraman Darren Conway have been inside Syria to the rebel-held city | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
of Aleppo, where some of the most intense fighting has been taking | :14:26. | :14:36. | |
:14:36. | :14:43. | ||
place. The night sky over Aleppo trembles with the sound of war. And | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
the toll has been terrible. Parts of this once grand city have been | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
eviscerated. Thousands have lost their lives. As the fighting | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
spreads, many parts of Syria now look like this. In the last few | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
weeks, rebel fighters have made key gains here in the north. Towns, | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
military bases, airfields. These streets have the misfortune to lie | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
beside their next and biggest target so far, Aleppo International | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
Airport. Too much has been lost to think of winners and losers, but | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
make no mistake, the rebellion is advancing. It's now a few hundred | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
metres away from the airport. I can see the airstrip there and the main | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
buildings. This is now the key target for the rebels. They've | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
managed to take many of the big facilities. If they take this, not | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
only will it have been a success, but also an important symbolic | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
victory. TRANSLATION: Controlling the airport means wiping out the | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
Syrian army. It could deal a fatal blow to morale and be a major boost | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
for us, as well as giving us a great military asset. Civilians pay | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
the highest price for this ambition. The battle for Syria's future | :16:01. | :16:11. | |
:16:11. | :16:11. | ||
remains -- makes refugees of its own people. We drove south. An army | :16:11. | :16:20. | |
column has been trying to advance to protect the airport. But the | :16:20. | :16:27. | |
rebels have moved in to stop it. The ground bears witness to the | :16:27. | :16:37. | |
:16:37. | :16:41. | ||
brutality of the fight. And the black flag in the roundabout lets | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
everyone know who is leading the resistance. We saw foreign fighters | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
from Libya, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Together with Syrian Islamists, | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
they seem to dominate the frontlines. They have a reputation | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
for being tough, disciplined and brave. Some fear these men want a | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
hard-line Islamic state, far removed from what began as a call | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
for freedom and democracy. But without help from elsewhere, many | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
Syrians are simply glad of their support. And their mounting success. | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
But there's another reason to worry about what is happening here. Only | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
a few kilometres away is the vast military complex of al-Safira. | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
Believed by some to store part of Syria's suspected chemical weapons | :17:29. | :17:38. | |
stock. And it's in the rebels' sights. The town of al-Safira has | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
been pounded relentlessly in a fight that resonates far beyond | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
Syria's borders. In towns like al- Safira, across Syria, they seam to | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
have borne the brunt of the fighting and Government shelling. | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
There's as many as 170,000 people, including refugees living here, | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
when the attacks began. Today, it's pretty much empty. Hundreds of | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
people were killed and thousands injured. No hospitals to treat them. | :18:05. | :18:12. | |
Nobody to save them. Nobody is interested. The Syrian army, the | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
regime's army is above the hill near the university. They can't | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
come to the city. They can kill the people at any time. They kill women, | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
children, burn houses, commit massacres and nobody in the whole | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
world is interested. Who really wants to help the Syrian people? | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
It's two years since this began. Hope that it will or even can end | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
soon has passed. And Syrians feel alone and abandoned by much of the | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
world. The Prime Minister of Tunisia, Hamadi Jebali, has | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
announced his resignation. Mr Jebali's own party rejected his | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
plans to appoint a caretaker Cabinet of technocrats in a bid to | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
calm tensions in the country following the murder of a leading | :18:56. | :19:04. | |
political opponent two weeks ago. A French family has been kidnapped in | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
Cameroon in West Africa, near the border with Nigeria. The three | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
adults and four children were returning from a trip to a national | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
park when they were seized by armed men on motorbikes. The French | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
President, Francois Hollande, said the kidnappers were a Nigerian- | :19:15. | :19:25. | |
:19:25. | :19:26. | ||
based militant group who were known to the French authorities. The | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
technology giant, Apple, has become the latest big company to admit it | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
has been a victim of computer hacking. Apple says there's no | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
indication that any data's been taken but the authorities are | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
investigating. It follows similar attacks on Facebook and the New | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
York Times. Our security correspondent, Gordon Corera, is | :19:41. | :19:51. | |
:19:51. | :19:53. | ||
here. Gordon, the finger's being pointed at China? That's right. | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
Apple hasn't said, but it's long been claimed that more cyber | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
attacks came from China than anywhere else. Until now, that's | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
something which has been hard to prove, but a security company, | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
Mandiant, has provided a detailed report in which it said it can link | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
some of the most significant attacks not just to China, but to | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
the Chinese state and they say they could do it through a building. A | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
building in Shanghai. They say they can trace one of the prolific | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
networks of hackers to the building and this building houses a unit of | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
the chin knees People's Liberation Army and that basically can't be a | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
coincidence. They steal companies' data and negotiating positions. | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
They steal product designs. In some cases, they steal consumer data, | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
private data. Facebook, Twitter and Apple have been hacked, but there's | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
no evidence that all of those were linked to China. This is a problem | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
which costs businesses millions, which costs governments some of | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
their secrets. The Chinese say they're not responsible. They say | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
they're a victim of hacking, which might be true and it poses a | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
dilemma for western governments in how they react. There are divisions | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
in those who say the finger should be pointed publicly at China and | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
those who say we need Chinese investment, our companies need to | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
sell products to China. The tide of stories and reports pointing the | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
finger at China is rising and that's tipping the balance to those | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
who want a pour robust response. Thank you very much. Thousands of | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
women and girls who were sent to workhouses in Ireland between the | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
1920s the 1990s have tonight received a formal apology from the | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
Irish Prime Minister. Enda Kenny said the Magdalene Laundries were | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
the result of a country that had been judgmental and intolerant. | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
Earlier this month, Mr Kenny was criticised for stopping short of a | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
formal apology. The Food Standards Agency has said they will start | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
testing items such as stock cubes and beef dripping next week in the | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
ongoing horsemeat scandal. Today, Nestle, the world's biggest food | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
company, announced that they were withdrawing beef pasta meals from | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
shelves in Italy and Spain after horse DNA was found in Buitoni | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
ready meals. The company says no horsemeat has been found in | :22:01. | :22:09. | |
products on sale in the UK. David Cameron has described remarks made | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
by the novelist, Hilary Mantel, about the Duchess of Cambridge as | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
completely misguided and completely wrong. The double Booker Prize | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
winner said in a recent speech that the Duchess appeared to have been | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
selected for her role because she posed no risk of showing any | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
character. But she also made it clear that she was reflecting a | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
view of the Duchess that had been put together by the press and | :22:26. | :22:36. | |
:22:36. | :22:42. | ||
public opinion. Nicholas Witchell's report contains flash photography. | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
She's roughly four months pregnant now and behind the clasped hands | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
there is evidence of a more rounded stomach. The pregnancy sickness of | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
early December has passed, but she is taking things easily. Last week, | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
she and William were on holiday in Mustique. Today, she was fulfilling | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
her first public engagement for some weeks, visiting a centre that | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
helps women recover from drug and alcohol dependence. Despite her | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
low-profile, she has become the focus of unflattering comments by | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
Hilary Mantel. During a lecture, Miss Man tell described the | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
transition of Kate Middleton into a Royal Duchess. Kate Middleton, as | :23:24. | :23:33. | |
she was, appeared to have been designed by a committee. Built by | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
craftsmen, with perfect plastic smile and the spindles of her limbs | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
hand-turned and gloss varnished. Miss Man tell said the person who | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
had emerged from the transmission seemed machine-like and without the | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
risk, as she put it, of the emergence of character. St James's | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
Palace declined to comment, but the Prime Minister in India, dismissed | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
the remarks. I think she writes great books, but what she said | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
about Kate Middleton is completely misguided and completely wrong. | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
What I've seen of the Prince Phillip success on public events | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
and at the Games and elsewhere is this is someone who is bright, | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
engaging and a fantastic ambassador for Britain and we should be proud | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
of that. The Duchess shouldn't feel offended according to one historian, | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
would believes Miss Man tell's comments have been misunderstood. | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
She was very sympathetic to Kate and said she is the perfect bride | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
and mother and said how hard it is to be Royal in a guilded cage. It's | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
not intended to be an attack. Hilary Mantel's lecture was a | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
thoughtful and at times vivid examination of what it is like | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
toing Royal, however, the choice of language in relation to the Duchess | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
of Cambridge can scarcely be described as gentle. The Duchess | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
will just have to get used to it, if she hasn't already, as that, | :24:57. | :25:07. | |
:25:07. | :25:07. | ||
after all, is part of being Royal. Football, and it's been a crucial | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
night for Arsenal in the Champions League. With their manager Arsene | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
Wenger under pressure, Arsenal were taking on Bayern Munich in the | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
first leg of the knock-out stages of the Champions League. Tim Franks | :25:16. | :25:26. | |
:25:26. | :25:27. | ||
watched the action. Recent results have produced a cloud of gloom over | :25:27. | :25:34. | |
Arsenal and against them tonight Bayern Manchester Unitedishing -- | :25:34. | :25:41. | |
Bayern Munich, the run-away leaders of the German league. If those | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
Arsenal fans were worried now, let's hope they were looking away. | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
A free hender, a sharp save, an easy gsh a free header, a sharp | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
save, an easy goal. If the first half had been predictable, the | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
second half was bizarre. Bayern's normally swarming defence suddenly | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
static. Arsenal's former Bayern player, Lukas Podolski the scorer. | :26:05. | :26:09. |
