:01:35. > :01:37.And Chelsea on target in the Europa Good evening. The veteran BBC
:01:37. > :01:44.broadcaster, Stuart Hall, was described as an opportunistic
:01:44. > :01:48.predator today after admitting indecently assaulting 13 girls. One
:01:48. > :01:51.of them was nine years old. The offences occurred over a period of
:01:51. > :01:56.nearly two decades, during which Hall presented the programme It's A
:01:56. > :02:06.Knockout. He's admitted that his behaviour was "completely wrong".

:02:07. > :02:11.Judith Moritz is in Preston for us tonight. Judith. Courtroom number 10
:02:11. > :02:15.was absolutely packed this morning as Stuart Hall's barrister said the
:02:15. > :02:24.broadcaster is not a man easily moved to self pitiful but he is now
:02:24. > :02:29.all too aware that his disgrace is complete. Stuart Hall was led into
:02:29. > :02:36.court by his solicitor today. His reputation now lies in tatters, but
:02:36. > :02:41.he was once the darling of teatime television. Even the Palace joined
:02:41. > :02:47.in with his brand of clownish fun as he fronted a royal version of the
:02:47. > :02:52.popular game show It's A Knockout. But on the same day that this
:02:52. > :02:58.regular episode was filmed in Ely, he indecently assaulted a teenage
:02:58. > :03:03.girl. And he did it time and again to lots of children. Hall has
:03:03. > :03:07.admitted a catalogue of offences, abusing 13 different girls over a
:03:07. > :03:12.period of two decades. The youngest of the victims was just nine, the
:03:12. > :03:21.eldest 17. His first indecent assault was in 1968. He cared on his
:03:21. > :03:28.abuse through the '70s up until 1986 when he was in his 50s. Stuart Hall
:03:29. > :03:35.was arrested at his home in Cheshire but he dismissed the allegations as
:03:35. > :03:40.spurious. But for their love I might have been constrained to take my own
:03:40. > :03:44.life, but they've encouraged me to fight on, to fight the charges,
:03:44. > :03:49.regain my reputation, my good name, and whatever I have represented to
:03:49. > :03:53.this country down the years. Hall pleaded guilty at a later
:03:53. > :03:58.hearing had. Today at Preston Crown Court the 83-year-old sat next to
:03:58. > :04:04.his barrister, who told the court that his client was sorry and wished
:04:04. > :04:09.to apologise to advertise victims have. One woman whom was abused by
:04:09. > :04:15.Hall when she was a young girl that it stole my innocence and my
:04:15. > :04:19.confidence. I can't even look at his face or hear his voice. I was
:04:19. > :04:23.frightened of him at the time but not any more. The prosecution said
:04:23. > :04:27.it was not in the public interest to pursue a charge of rate. His victim
:04:27. > :04:33.did not know each other and almost two decades separated the first or
:04:33. > :04:37.last assaults. Whether in public or private Hall would first approach
:04:37. > :04:43.under friendly pretence and bide his time until the victim was isolated.
:04:43. > :04:48.He can only be described as an opportunistic predator. Stuart Hall
:04:48. > :04:52.worked in regional news for the BBC and presented programmes for ITV.
:04:52. > :04:58.One former producer employed by the BBC spoke today. I thought Stuart
:04:58. > :05:02.had an amazing set-up in the building of the BBC in Manchester in
:05:02. > :05:08.Piccadilly in that he had what used to be the old medical room, and he
:05:08. > :05:14.had lady friends who came and went happily on to the BBC premises and
:05:14. > :05:20.kept him occupied during the afternoon. Within months of the
:05:20. > :05:25.Jimmy Savile scandal the BBC has been embarrassed by a veteran star.
:05:25. > :05:33.The corporation said it was appalled by his actions and wouldn't feature
:05:33. > :05:39.him again. His actions will be examined by the investigation.
:05:39. > :05:45.Stuart Hall left court pursued by the media. For once he had little to
:05:45. > :05:50.say. He was once honoured by an OBE. Now the star has fallen he could
:05:50. > :05:56.face jail. Stuart Hall will return to court to be sentenced on June
:05:56. > :05:59.17th. Today the judge Anthony Russell QC told the 83-year-old all
:06:00. > :06:05.sentencing options will be open to him then, including immediate
:06:05. > :06:08.custody. Judith, thank you.
:06:08. > :06:10.With record unemployment, low growth and a bleak outlook, there was
:06:10. > :06:13.another attempt to revive the struggling eurozone economy today.
:06:13. > :06:16.The European Central Bank cut its main interest rate from 0.75% to a
:06:16. > :06:26.record low of 0.5%. Our chief economics correspondent, Hugh Pym,
:06:26. > :06:28.
:06:28. > :06:32.explains. There was an added edge to this week's traditional May Day
:06:32. > :06:40.marches around Europe. Rising unemployment and faltering growth
:06:40. > :06:46.have added to the sense of dwloom. - gloom. The question, when is the
:06:46. > :06:51.recovery coming. A cut in interest rates today with the aim of fuelling
:06:51. > :06:55.growth in the weeks ahead. Week economic sentiment has extended into
:06:55. > :06:59.spring of this year. The cut in interest rates should contribute to
:06:59. > :07:04.support prospects for a recovery later in the year. But the question
:07:05. > :07:09.is, will the new official rate of 0. 5% be reflected in actual borrowing
:07:09. > :07:13.costs? In Germany the average lending rate for businesses and
:07:13. > :07:18.consumers was 2. 4% before the latest cut. But in Portugal the
:07:18. > :07:23.equivalent rate was 4. 5%, with the banking system still scarred by the
:07:23. > :07:27.cries ice. In Ireland it was 3. 3%, once again reflecting historic
:07:27. > :07:31.banking problems. This Irish company, one of the country's oldest
:07:31. > :07:34.sweet makers, illustrates the problem. It says lack of bank
:07:34. > :07:37.lending and Government austerity measures will continue to make life
:07:37. > :07:42.difficult, never mind the latest sweetener from the European Central
:07:42. > :07:46.Bank. Every time the ECB gives something we seem to be able to
:07:46. > :07:52.develop very quickly a new tax to take that money back, whether it be
:07:52. > :07:56.the Government or the banks. While it might be a reprieve for a month
:07:56. > :08:00.or two something will appear to take it back from the people. This is the
:08:00. > :08:05.problem. What happens in the eurozone makes a difference to what
:08:05. > :08:08.we earn in the UK economy. That's because many British exporters need
:08:09. > :08:12.European markets to sell their goods and services. So if there is a
:08:12. > :08:17.couldn'ted slowdown over there, that will affect how much money those
:08:17. > :08:20.businesses will make. Take this transport company based in Rugby. It
:08:20. > :08:27.delivers engineering components made in the UK to customers in the
:08:27. > :08:30.eurozone. It has had to cope with a highly un unpredictable market.
:08:30. > :08:33.Confidence is fragile in the eurozone at the moment. The way that
:08:33. > :08:39.manifests the itself is our business should be a smooth flow of goods
:08:39. > :08:43.every day of the week and every week of the month, but we are seeing a
:08:43. > :08:47.very variable flow. Add to the uncertainty there are tensions
:08:47. > :08:51.between Germany's leaders, who would prefer an interest rate, and
:08:51. > :08:58.struggling eurozone members who can only hope the latest rate cut
:08:58. > :09:01.breathe new rife into their commas. -- new life into their economies.
:09:01. > :09:04.Interest-only mortgages were all the rage before the financial crisis,
:09:04. > :09:07.but today there's a warning that more than a million borrowers will
:09:07. > :09:10.struggle to pay off their debts. The FCA, the new financial watchdog,
:09:10. > :09:12.says the shortfalls could run to tens of thousands of pounds. Our
:09:12. > :09:22.personal finance correspondent, Simon Gompertz, reports on what's
:09:22. > :09:23.
:09:23. > :09:27.been called a mortgage "time bomb." are Che, but that's created a
:09:28. > :09:33.ticking time bomb. 1. 3 million people don't have enough money to
:09:33. > :09:42.pay off the original loan. And could be in danger of losing their homes.
:09:42. > :09:47.This is the house. The mortgage is about �188,000. Can hardly meet the
:09:47. > :09:52.�900 of interest he had to pay each month on his interest-only mortgage
:09:52. > :09:58.let alone think about saving to pay off the loan. To hang on to his home
:09:58. > :10:05.he will have to come up with the �188,000 or beg the mortgage lender
:10:05. > :10:10.for more time. It is a pressure on you and I've reed myself to the fate
:10:10. > :10:14.but it preys on my mind and it can be upsetting when you look at your
:10:14. > :10:21.finances and think, I've got this huge debt hanging over me all the
:10:21. > :10:24.time. I've got �6 saved. Rob is one of which 250,000 people in the worst
:10:25. > :10:29.position, with no savings and no strategy for repaying. Something the
:10:29. > :10:32.financial regulator wants to change. You need to know that it is what it
:10:32. > :10:36.says on the tin, it is an interest-only mortgage. It means
:10:36. > :10:40.when it comes to the tend you have to repay the capital. People need to
:10:40. > :10:45.understand that. If you haven't got any savings or a system in place to
:10:45. > :10:50.repay the capital, you have to start working on how you will do that now.
:10:50. > :10:55.Annual tally of people who will have to pay back their whole
:10:55. > :11:01.interest-only mortgage is rising rapidly. In 2017 it will reach
:11:01. > :11:09.85,000. Stretch it another ten years and it is 106,000. These are more up
:11:09. > :11:12.against it. They haven't saved money. Out in 2032 it reaches
:11:12. > :11:19.163,000 a year, the ones who borrowed the most because they
:11:19. > :11:22.bought in the house price boom that came before the credit crunch. The
:11:22. > :11:27.average shortfall for the period will be �71,000 for the people who
:11:27. > :11:31.can't afford to pay their mortgages back. Some will be able to trade
:11:31. > :11:36.down to a smaller home, and it is possible to extend a mortgage, but
:11:36. > :11:40.not if the lenders decides you can't afford to carry on borrowing.
:11:40. > :11:45.Lenders are writing to commerce inviting them to talk about their
:11:46. > :11:50.interest-only mortgages in the hope that the ticking time bomb can be
:11:50. > :11:54.defused. The Coronation Street actor Bill
:11:54. > :11:58.Roache has strenuously denied allegations that he riped a
:11:58. > :12:01.15-year-old girl in 1967. The 81-year-old, who plays Ken Barlow in
:12:01. > :12:04.the ITV soap, was charged with two counts of rape yesterday. In a
:12:04. > :12:10.statement, he says he's "astounded and deeply horrified" by what he
:12:10. > :12:13.called "the extraordinary events" of the past 24 hours.
:12:13. > :12:16.A report into behaviour at the BBC commissioned after the Jimmy Savile
:12:16. > :12:26.scandal has concluded that sexual harassment is not common, but there
:12:26. > :12:29.is more evidence of bullying. The review found that some people at the
:12:29. > :12:32.BBC were seen as being "untouchable". The Corporation says

:12:39. > :12:43.dictator Muammar Gaddafi has appeared in court in the town where
:12:43. > :12:48.he was captured in 2011. Saif al-Islam is facing charges that
:12:48. > :12:50.include endangering national security. He's also wanted by the
:12:50. > :12:54.International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes, charges he

:13:05. > :13:09.Zintan. When revolution came two years ago to Tripoli it made a
:13:09. > :13:17.warlord out of the playboy with the suspect doctorate from the London
:13:17. > :13:22.School of Economics. Saif al-Islam Gaddafi didn't achieve much but his
:13:22. > :13:28.intervention certainly embittered the whole struggle. When I spoke to
:13:28. > :13:32.him at the time he was very full of himself. It is our country.But when
:13:32. > :13:36.he was eventually captured and flown to the town of Zintan, whose forces
:13:36. > :13:45.had caught him, he was plainly terrified that he would be
:13:45. > :13:48.slaughtered like his father. In court in Zintan today, the old
:13:48. > :13:53.childreniness was back. Saif al-Islam isn't being tried here for
:13:53. > :13:57.waging war on his own people. That will come later. This is all about
:13:57. > :14:01.Libya's determination that he should be tried here rather than at the
:14:01. > :14:05.International Criminal Court in the Haig. He is charged with trying to
:14:05. > :14:10.escape. Saif al-Islam has been in solitary confinement but le had no
:14:10. > :14:14.complaints to make. As he was sitting in his cage here I called
:14:14. > :14:20.out a question to him, asked him how he was. He flashed he a smile and
:14:20. > :14:24.gave me a thumbs up sign and said he was OK. But it was noticeable he had
:14:24. > :14:29.lost part of his front teeth and his right forefinger had been chopped
:14:29. > :14:34.off apparently. People say that's because he made so many people angry
:14:34. > :14:40.by always pointing his finger at them when he talked to them. All
:14:40. > :14:44.these things happened long before he got here to Zintan. Court was
:14:44. > :14:49.lightly guarded and Zintan itself is pretty relaxed nowadays. Unlike
:14:49. > :14:53.Tripoli, where protect ors have been taking over Government ministries,
:14:53. > :14:57.demanding that officials from the Gaddafi era should be sacked.
:14:57. > :15:01.clear that a number of the people who were there at the time of the
:15:01. > :15:05.fall of Gaddafi have remained in position just to ensure a smooth
:15:05. > :15:11.transition. The real challenge now is how do you replace those people
:15:11. > :15:17.with new faces and people from the rebel side of the argument, those
:15:17. > :15:20.who unseated Gaddafi as you go forward. 's court appearance shows
:15:20. > :15:26.the determination to re-establish the rule of law in Libya. Colonel

:15:42. > :15:45.The polls have just closed in the local elections in England and
:15:45. > :15:48.Wales with the counting of ballot papers now getting underway. More
:15:48. > :15:51.than 2,300, mostly on county councils, are being contested. The
:15:51. > :15:57.Conservatives currently hold most of the seats, 1,458. The Liberal
:15:57. > :16:04.Democrats hold 469. Labour are defending 273. With the
:16:04. > :16:08.in-depth analysis, here's Jeremy Vine. If we have a look at the map
:16:09. > :16:13.on the floor here, we can see how badly Labour did last time. It was
:16:13. > :16:16.that lonely splodge of Labour red which is Durham, but in the main,
:16:16. > :16:21.it is Conservative blue. Where it is grey, it means the council is
:16:21. > :16:26.under no overall control. Labour are trying to take back Lancashire
:16:26. > :16:29.and Staffordshire which no one could believe they lost last time
:16:29. > :16:31.and the question of what happens to the blue in the south and the
:16:31. > :16:35.Midlands with the Conservatives in a difficult position. If we look at
:16:35. > :16:40.the numbers of councillors the parties had over the years, it
:16:40. > :16:44.tells an interesting story. We go back to the heyday of Tony Blair
:16:44. > :16:47.and we see Labour, nearly 11,000 councillors and the Conservatives
:16:47. > :16:52.were in third place. As Labour win general elections, governing is
:16:52. > :16:55.always difficult. They start to get wiped away in Local Government. It
:16:55. > :16:59.is an interesting pattern. Gradually the Conservatives come
:16:59. > :17:03.back until they are at the point back until they are at the point
:17:03. > :17:07.there where Labour were over there. Gordon Brown goes and Labour have a
:17:07. > :17:10.recovery unEd Miliband. So -- under Ed Miliband. So they are closer to
:17:10. > :17:14.the Conservatives than they were and the question is whether these
:17:14. > :17:18.council election will see that recovery continue? If we look at
:17:18. > :17:21.the share of the vote we can see what the parties got in previous
:17:21. > :17:25.local elections. In 2005, the day the general election was held, as
:17:25. > :17:32.you would expect, Labour was ahead of the Conservatives, but the
:17:32. > :17:36.crucial year really is 2009. Look how low Labour went, 20% and that's
:17:36. > :17:39.significant because the year these council seats were last fought. All
:17:39. > :17:45.Labour have to do is improve on that and they will make gains.
:17:45. > :17:48.They have got more votes since then in subs quen local elections --
:17:48. > :17:55.subsequent local elections. What are Labour doing in term of their
:17:55. > :17:59.lead over the Conservatives then? We can see the trajectory. The
:17:59. > :18:03.Conservatives were in the lead, but it seems to have been that
:18:03. > :18:07.troublesome Budget last year that put them behind Labour and then
:18:07. > :18:15.gradually look at this, Labour sustained their lead relatively
:18:15. > :18:19.consistent polling figures until we get to 39% and 31%. So will Labour
:18:19. > :18:23.repeat that performance when the votes are counted? The Lib Dems,
:18:23. > :18:27.poor for them. They tend to outperform their national poll
:18:27. > :18:31.ratings. The question is what happens with UKIP? Will UKIP's vote
:18:31. > :18:37.eat away at the Conservatives and increase the Labour lead even
:18:37. > :18:40.Jeremy Vine there. Our Political Editor, Nick Robinson, is at
:18:40. > :18:42.Westminster for us tonight. Nick the polls have closed. What do you
:18:42. > :18:46.think the politicians will be looking for? Well, they are looking
:18:46. > :18:50.out for not what it means for who runs important councils up and down
:18:50. > :18:54.the country, largely England, of course in these elections, but what
:18:54. > :18:58.it means for the route to Number Ten. There is news from an
:18:59. > :19:03.important Parliamentary by-election, created by the resignation of David
:19:03. > :19:07.Miliband in South Shields. Labour will hold on to that seat, but the
:19:07. > :19:11.interesting thus is that Labour are telling us that they believe UKIP
:19:12. > :19:15.are on course for their record ever election performance. They might
:19:15. > :19:19.even reach 30% of the vote. They are pressurising Labour and they
:19:19. > :19:24.are squeezing the Tories and squashing the Liberal Democrats out
:19:24. > :19:29.of sight. How much is that pattern replicated in the local election?
:19:29. > :19:33.UKIP may win few seats. They will not control any councils, but they
:19:33. > :19:38.may pile up many votes. Remember in the end, politics is a team sport,
:19:38. > :19:41.it is about morale. If David Cameron's team do badly, they may
:19:41. > :19:44.lose confidence in him. If Ed Miliband's team does well, but not
:19:44. > :19:49.quite well enough to see him heading towards Number Ten, he too
:19:49. > :19:55.may come under pressure and never forget Nigel Farage, he will have
:19:55. > :19:59.questions to answer. Yes, Mr Farrage you are a a key man of the
:19:59. > :20:04.protest vote, but if he does well, people will say, "We know what you
:20:04. > :20:07.are against. What are you for?" The BBC News website will have live
:20:07. > :20:09.text and video coverage of the results as they come in and
:20:09. > :20:16.tomorrow the Vote 2013 programme will be broadcast throughout the
