:01:56. > :01:59.Roman Catholic Cardinal Keith O'Brien is resigning as head of the
:01:59. > :02:02.church in Scotland following allegations of inappropriate
:02:02. > :02:05.behaviour towards priests. He contests the allegations. The
:02:05. > :02:10.Cardinal announced he would not be taking part in the forth coming
:02:10. > :02:14.conclave to elect a new Pope. Our correspondent Robert Pigott reports.
:02:14. > :02:18.For a decade and more, he's been one of Scotland's biggest
:02:18. > :02:22.personalities and one of its strongest voices. Then came
:02:22. > :02:27.allegations that Cardinal O'Brien behaved inappropriately towards
:02:27. > :02:33.four priests in his care during the 1980s and suddenly he's out of
:02:33. > :02:36.office. Today, Cardinal O'Brien stayed behind closed doors. In a
:02:36. > :02:41.statement he acknowledged his poor health, but made no attempt to
:02:41. > :02:46.rebutt the allegations against him. Instead he said, "For any good I've
:02:46. > :02:53.been able to do I thank God. For any failures I apologise to all
:02:53. > :02:56.whom I have offended." I choose to be the supreme Pontiff... A few
:02:56. > :03:01.days ago, Cardinal O'Brien was the Catholic Church's elder statesman
:03:01. > :03:04.due to fly to Rome to help choose the next Pope. Today his ten years
:03:04. > :03:10.as leader of the Scottish Catholic Church ended with a simple
:03:10. > :03:15.statement from Vatican officials. The holy Father accepted on
:03:15. > :03:22.February 18th, the resignation from the office of Archbishop of St and
:03:22. > :03:25.Druze of Cardinal O'Brien. The First Minister said he heard
:03:25. > :03:28.the news of the resignation with great sadness. The allegations
:03:28. > :03:32.against Cardinal O'Brien have to be properly investigated. That's right
:03:32. > :03:35.and proper. But I don't think it would be right if the circumstances
:03:35. > :03:40.of the resignation were to overshadow almost 50 years as a
:03:41. > :03:44.priest and all of the substantial work he's done for hills church and
:03:45. > :03:48.his country. The claims against Cardinal O'Brien were clearly
:03:48. > :03:52.intended to coincide with his imminent retirement. His accusers
:03:52. > :03:56.evidently decided to publicise them after the Pope's resignation to
:03:56. > :04:00.stop the Cardinal taking part in the election. Once they become
:04:00. > :04:04.public knowledge it puts immense pressure on the church. Obviously
:04:04. > :04:08.there are already discussions going on about the circumstances of the
:04:08. > :04:12.Pope's resignation, what's going to happen next. It simply would be a
:04:12. > :04:17.distraction from that. More that a distraction it would cast a shadow
:04:17. > :04:20.over his participation in the conclave. Although Cardinal O'Brien
:04:20. > :04:23.himself took the decision to step down, it was pressure from the
:04:23. > :04:27.Vatican evidently concerned about the nature of the allegations
:04:27. > :04:31.against him that was decisive in making the decision. I understand
:04:31. > :04:35.that once Cardinal O'Brien was made aware of the level of concern in
:04:36. > :04:41.Rome about the situation near Scotland, he felt he had no option
:04:41. > :04:45.but to tender his resignation. To many Catholics the popular, down to
:04:45. > :04:49.earth Cardinal O'Brien embodied the church in Scotland. Many invested
:04:49. > :04:57.great trust in him and will have been pained at his rapid departure
:04:57. > :05:00.in the face of what remain serious allegations.
:05:00. > :05:04.Live to Rome and our special correspondent Allan Little. Let's
:05:04. > :05:08.talk more about the speed of the Vatican's response and what it
:05:08. > :05:13.tells us with just days to go before the Pope's formal retirement.
:05:13. > :05:17.It is striking how quickly the Vatican acted to close this
:05:17. > :05:20.controversy down. That's a measures of how seriously it has been felt
:05:20. > :05:25.here. It's the latest body blow to the church at the worst possible
:05:25. > :05:29.time. There are other cardinals who are come together conclave next
:05:29. > :05:33.month, whose reputations have been compromised or damaged by previous
:05:33. > :05:37.scandals. But for the most part they involve cardinals accused of
:05:37. > :05:40.covering up the misdemeanours of others. In this case Cardinal
:05:40. > :05:44.O'Brien stands accused of misdemeanours of his own. It's
:05:44. > :05:48.clear the Vatican did not want that, those allegations going into the
:05:48. > :05:55.Sistine Chapel, into the heart of the process to elect the new Pope.
:05:55. > :06:00.Bear in mind, that the Pontificate has been besieged by scandal almost
:06:00. > :06:04.since the beginning. He's never been able to escape it. The Vatican
:06:04. > :06:08.don't want the new Pontiff starting with a similar taint of scandal at
:06:08. > :06:11.the start of it. That is why the Vatican has moved so quickly, an
:06:11. > :06:17.institution not used to moving quickly, has moved very quickly
:06:17. > :06:20.indeed to close this down, even before the accusations have been
:06:20. > :06:26.properly aired, even before Cardinal O'Brien has had a chance
:06:26. > :06:30.to respond to them. Thanks very much.
:06:30. > :06:33.Scotland Yard is to investigate whether criminal activity took
:06:33. > :06:35.place following allegations of sexual impropriety against the
:06:35. > :06:39.senior Liberal Democrat Lord Rennard. The party leader has
:06:39. > :06:43.admitted he heard concerns about his colleague's conduct five years
:06:43. > :06:45.ago, but said that none of the claims had been specific. Lord
:06:45. > :06:51.Rennard has denied the allegations. Our political editor Nick Robinson
:06:51. > :06:55.reports. Nick Clegg finds himself in the spotlight tonight, after
:06:55. > :06:59.Scotland Yard announced that its officers will meet party officials
:06:59. > :07:04.tomorrow to discuss allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards
:07:04. > :07:07.women, made against Lord Rennard, the Liberal Democrats former chief
:07:07. > :07:11.executive. The Lib Dem leader is under pressure to explain why he
:07:11. > :07:16.first said he knew nothing about those allegations, only later to
:07:16. > :07:21.admit he had, after all, known something. I've got absolutely
:07:21. > :07:26.nothing to hide. Why would I? I happen to know some of these women
:07:26. > :07:29.very well. Compare and contrast his defence of his own actions with the
:07:29. > :07:32.on-air confession made moments later by the party President.
:07:32. > :07:37.one thing I probably can tell you without having to go through due
:07:37. > :07:41.process is that we screwed this up, as a party. It's been a tough job.
:07:41. > :07:45.There have been difficult times... Lord Rennard is hardly a household
:07:45. > :07:51.name, except, that is, in Liberal Democrat households. When he
:07:51. > :07:55.retired at the party's chief executive, he was hailed as their
:07:55. > :08:02.election-winning supremeo. I'd also like to pay my own tribute to Chris.
:08:02. > :08:05.Chris, I can honestly say if it wasn't for your guidance and
:08:05. > :08:10.encouragement, I wouldn't have been elected as an MP, let alone now be
:08:10. > :08:13.leading the party. Rennard insists he has done nothing wrong and
:08:13. > :08:19.indeed that no complaints were ever made against him, until, that is,
:08:19. > :08:23.last week. You may wonder why Westminster is in such a lather
:08:23. > :08:28.about what a party official did or did not do more than five years ago.
:08:28. > :08:31.Part of the reason is that the Lib Dems keep changing their story
:08:31. > :08:35.about who knew what when. On Friday, when the allegations were first
:08:35. > :08:41.made, they said Nick Clegg knew nothing. Then last night he said he
:08:41. > :08:45.had been aware of general concerns of what he called a non-specific,
:08:45. > :08:50.indirect nature. This morning he made clear that he hadn't known
:08:50. > :08:55.anything, but clearly some party officials had. And now some former
:08:55. > :08:58.party workers are adding to Clegg's discomfort. It's incredibly
:08:58. > :09:03.confusing. The Liberal Democrats seem to be inventing a new language.
:09:03. > :09:07.I'm not sure what an indirect, non- specific complaint is. All this
:09:07. > :09:13.with just days to go before the voters of Eastleigh in Hampshire
:09:13. > :09:18.are invited to decide whether to back the Liberal Democrats or the
:09:18. > :09:22.Conservatives or known of the above. I understand that people want
:09:22. > :09:26.instant wisdom with hindsight, instant judgments and sanctions. We
:09:26. > :09:30.had a number of women who have subsequently spoken out with
:09:30. > :09:34.frustration who need to be listened to, because they weren't listened
:09:34. > :09:37.to. We need to get to the truth. Tonight, the promise of two
:09:37. > :09:41.separate party inquiries didn't stop the questions following the
:09:42. > :09:49.Deputy Prime Minister all the way to a Government meeting in
:09:49. > :09:54.Amsterdam. A new jury has been sworn in for
:09:54. > :09:57.the retrial of Vicky Pryce, who's accused of taking speeding points a
:09:57. > :10:00.decade ago for her then husband Chris Huhne, the former Lib Dem
:10:00. > :10:06.Cabinet minister. Last week, her original trial was stopped after
:10:06. > :10:11.the jury failed to reach a verdict. Miss Pryce denies perverting the
:10:11. > :10:15.course of justice. IKEA is the latest company to be
:10:15. > :10:20.affected by the horsemeat scandal. It's withdrawn a batch of meatballs
:10:20. > :10:25.in 13 countries after a consignment sent to the Czech Republic tested
:10:25. > :10:30.positive for horse. Nestle has confirmed it has found horse DNA in
:10:30. > :10:36.meat from a second supplier. Jeremy Cooke reports. Another week,
:10:36. > :10:41.another household name dragged into the horsemeat scandal. This time
:10:41. > :10:46.it's IKEA, a sample of their frozen meatballs in the Czech Republic
:10:46. > :10:51.proved positive for hars meat. Now all meatballs have been withdrawn
:10:51. > :10:55.against much of Europe, including Britain. A statement said, "IKEA is

:10:58. > :11:02.do not tolerate any other ingredients than the ones
:11:02. > :11:06.stipulated in our recipes or specifications." Shoppers in
:11:06. > :11:10.Coventry welcomed the decision to remove meatballs from sale. It's a
:11:10. > :11:13.good thing that they've removed it, if there's a scare with it. They
:11:13. > :11:17.need to do that. But like you say, it's not going to stop me from
:11:17. > :11:20.eating it, that's for sure. could have been eating it for years
:11:21. > :11:26.for all we know. Obviously they're doing it in the public interest. So
:11:26. > :11:30.fair dos to them. It's not just IKEA. Today's news emphasises this
:11:30. > :11:33.is an international scandal affecting much of Europe. Every day,
:11:33. > :11:38.it seems, there's another positive test for horsemeat, another

:11:42. > :11:46.As EU ministers arrived at an emergency summit in Brussels came
:11:46. > :11:50.word that the European giant Nestle had found horsemeat in produce from
:11:50. > :11:54.a second beef supplier. The UK Environment Secretary believes
:11:55. > :11:59.organised crime is at work. My real message to all my colleagues is
:11:59. > :12:05.they must all get information into Europol so we get to the bottom of
:12:05. > :12:07.this and get the criminal conspiracy stopped. As the
:12:07. > :12:12.investigations continue, companies caught up in the scandal are
:12:12. > :12:20.fighting to protect their image and reputation. Big name brands on a
:12:20. > :12:24.mission of damage control. Early results from Italy's election
:12:24. > :12:28.have taken many observers by surprise. At least a quarter of the
:12:28. > :12:31.votes counted so far have been secured by a former comedian, Beppe
:12:31. > :12:35.Grillo. The former Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, has done much
:12:35. > :12:39.better than expected as the centre- right parties battle it out with
:12:39. > :12:45.the centre left. There's likely to be no clear winner and there could
:12:45. > :12:48.be days of talks to create a coalition. This report has flash
:12:48. > :12:52.photography. This man on his way to vote today
:12:52. > :12:56.has caused a political earthquake in Italy. Beppe Grillo is a
:12:56. > :13:01.comedian who has raged against Italy's political establishment.
:13:01. > :13:05.He's anti-austerity and wants to hold a referendum on the euro. One
:13:05. > :13:09.in four Italians have voted for his protest movement. His strong
:13:09. > :13:14.showing is leading to huge uncertainty as to who will form the
:13:14. > :13:17.next government. Initially, as the votes started to be counted, it
:13:18. > :13:25.seemed that the centre left was on course to form a coalition
:13:25. > :13:29.government. At their headquarters, they declared a majority of
:13:29. > :13:34.Italians had voted for the centre left. It was soon clear, however,
:13:34. > :13:38.that Silvio Berlusconi and his allies had done well in key regions
:13:38. > :13:44.in the north. An hour later another official took to the stage to say
:13:44. > :13:49.the situation was very serious for Italy. The country was heading for
:13:49. > :13:52.political deadlock. It may well be that here at the Chamber of
:13:52. > :13:56.Deputies, the lower house, that the centre left is the dominant party,
:13:56. > :14:00.but just down the road at the Senate, Silvio Berlusconi and his
:14:00. > :14:05.allies are performing strongly and it all raises the question as to
:14:05. > :14:10.whether there really can be a credible and stable government. The
:14:10. > :14:14.most likely outcome is a hung Parliament. Support for Silvio
:14:14. > :14:21.Berlusconi held up well. He won't form a government, but he retains
:14:21. > :14:25.influence. The centre-left candidate Pier Luigi Bersani is
:14:25. > :14:29.likely to try and form a coalition with the former Prime Minister,
:14:29. > :14:39.Mario Monti, who had a disastrous campaign. Officials are predicting

:14:41. > :14:45.Italy will have to go to the polls If we don't have the numbers to

:21:24. > :21:27.rejected calls for a new government approach to tackling the debt and

:22:05. > :22:10.to the Commons to give an explanation. He said the rating

:22:14. > :22:18.either abandon our efforts to deal with our debt problems and make a
:22:18. > :22:22.difficult situation very much worse, or we can redouble our efforts to
