:02:14. > :02:22.those Conservative MPs calling for Britain to leave the EU. He was
:02:22. > :02:27.speaking on a visit to Washington. David Cameron swept into the White
:02:27. > :02:31.House on the latest stop of his World Tour. His aim? To talk to
:02:31. > :02:35.President Obama about possible Syrian peace talks and next month's
:02:35. > :02:39.G8 Summit in Northern Ireland. Here, he couldn't avoid talking about
:02:39. > :02:42.Europe. The contrast with his party at home could not be starker. Whilst
:02:43. > :02:47.some Tories were talking of leaving the EU, the Prime Minister was
:02:47. > :02:51.banging the drum for a trade deal between the EU and the US,
:02:51. > :02:57.potentially the world's largest Free Trade Area that he said could mean
:02:57. > :03:00.�10 billion a year for Britain's economy. To realise the huge benefit
:03:00. > :03:03.this is deal could bring will take ambition and political will. That
:03:03. > :03:07.means everything on the table, even the difficult issues and no
:03:07. > :03:12.exceptions. Despite everything that is going on at home.
:03:12. > :03:15.REPORTER: You are talking about a new EU-US trade deal. Members of
:03:15. > :03:20.your party are talking about leaving the European Union. What is your
:03:20. > :03:23.message to them and to those pushing for an early referendum? There is a
:03:23. > :03:27.good reason why there is not going to be a referendum tomorrow. It
:03:27. > :03:30.would give the British public an entirely false choice between the
:03:30. > :03:35.status quo, which I don't think is acceptable, I want to see the
:03:35. > :03:38.European Union change, I want to see Britain's relationship with the
:03:38. > :03:41.European change and improve. It would be a false choice between the
:03:41. > :03:45.status quo and leaving. I don't think that is the choice the British
:03:45. > :03:48.public want or the British public deserve. For months, American
:03:48. > :03:54.diplomats have warned against Britain weakening its ties with
:03:54. > :03:59.Europe. But today, President Obama chose to help an ally in need.
:03:59. > :04:08.people of the UK have to make decisions for themselves. I will say
:04:08. > :04:12.this. David's basic point that you probably want to see if you can fix
:04:12. > :04:16.what's broken in a very important relationship before you break it
:04:16. > :04:20.off. It makes some sense to me. These talks were not just about
:04:20. > :04:24.Europe, they discussed Syria, too. The Prime Minister said there was an
:04:24. > :04:29.urgent window of opportunity to get both sides around the negotiating
:04:29. > :04:33.table. He also promised to double the amount of non-lethal aid that
:04:33. > :04:38.Britain gives to the opposition, another �10 million, more armoured
:04:38. > :04:43.vehicles and body armour. Mr Cameron came here to the FBI's headquarters
:04:43. > :04:48.to pick the brains of America's security chiefs about how they
:04:48. > :04:51.respond to terrorism and incidents like the Boston bombings. This
:04:51. > :04:57.operation centre is open around-the-clock, holds 400
:04:57. > :05:00.permanent staff and more than 1,000 telephone lines. David Cameron
:05:00. > :05:04.leaves Washington for Boston, then he is off to New York and the United
:05:04. > :05:09.Nations to discuss aid and trade. Europe looks set to dog him every
:05:09. > :05:12.step of the way. For the latest, let's go to James Landale at the
:05:12. > :05:17.White House. We heard what the Prime Minister had to say very clearly
:05:17. > :05:22.today. What sense should we make of tonight's news and this Referendum
:05:22. > :05:29.Bill? Tomorrow, the Tories will publish this Bill that would pave
:05:29. > :05:32.the way for a referendum in 2017. It would - it is designed to show
:05:32. > :05:37.voters that the Conservatives are serious about this, that it is going
:05:37. > :05:42.to happen if they are elected. It is designed to put pressure on Labour
:05:42. > :05:46.and the Lib Dems, so that it forces them to say why they do not favour a
:05:46. > :05:50.referendum in 2017, at least for the moment. Now, this won't be
:05:50. > :05:53.Government legislation. It can't be. It is most likely going to be
:05:53. > :05:59.introduced by a Conservative backbencher. There is no guarantee
:05:59. > :06:05.that any of this will become law. The risk is that this becomes - this
:06:05. > :06:12.Bill is a damp squib. It has one big debate in Parliament and then dies.
:06:13. > :06:17.Or the danger is the other extreme. It becomes a parliamentary monster,

:06:22. > :06:26.will say, "We want a referendum." The Tories say, "No, this is

:07:24. > :07:29.spent the afternoon shopping with him. The court was told that Tia
:07:29. > :07:33.idolised Hazell. Hours later, he sexually assaulted and murdered her.
:07:33. > :07:40.Tia's relatives had been bracing themselves for further distressing
:07:40. > :07:43.evidence today. But suddenly, Hazell pleaded guilty. I'm glad that Stuart
:07:43. > :07:48.Hazell changed his plea to guilty this morning. Four days of trial
:07:48. > :07:51.have been very hard to deal with. Hearing the vile things he did to
:07:51. > :07:57.Tia. Hazell will be sentenced tomorrow. In my opinion, it would
:07:57. > :08:01.not be enough. He should serve his time, then be hung. Last August,
:08:01. > :08:05.residents of the New Addington housing estate had united behind
:08:05. > :08:11.Tia's family in their struggle to find her. The night she died, she
:08:11. > :08:15.was alone with Hazell while her grand mother was at work. Hazell
:08:15. > :08:19.said Tia had left the following morning to go shopping. He was
:08:19. > :08:26.lying. It is not about me, it is about Tia. This is all about Tia. We
:08:26. > :08:31.have to get her home. We have to get her home. I don't know what more to
:08:31. > :08:36.do. Her body was finally found in the loft, similar to this one in a
:08:36. > :08:42.neighbouring house. But police had missed it on two previous searches.
:08:42. > :08:46.It was an error for which they apologised. This was a case of human
:08:46. > :08:50.error on the part of an inexperienced searcher. The police
:08:50. > :08:55.have apologised and we have addressed that. Both in our
:08:55. > :09:00.selection of search officers and our training regime. What can you tell
:09:00. > :09:04.me about the murder of Tia Sharp? Today, police released this
:09:04. > :09:09.interview with Hazell. He refuses to answer questions. They later found
:09:09. > :09:14.images of child abuse on his phone, videos of Tia and a photo of her

:22:18. > :22:27.because of the pictures that he has tweeted from more than 200 miles
:22:28. > :22:28.
:22:28. > :22:34.above us. I grabbed my camera and I race over to the windows and I try
:22:35. > :22:40.and get a picture of the part of the world beneath us. And quite a few of
:22:40. > :22:46.the key musician's pictures have been of the UK. This is what London
:22:46. > :22:48.looks like from out in space. Then this is the Humber estuary, and the
:22:48. > :22:55.Lake District with snow on the summits. When those pictures have
:22:55. > :22:59.been tweeted from way up in space, there has been a huge response from
:22:59. > :23:03.people living down here in the UK. They see their town, their region,
:23:03. > :23:05.the Isle of Wight, some of the northern regions, into southern
:23:05. > :23:07.Scotland, and they just have a perspective on it which maybe did
:23:07. > :23:15.not exist for them in the regular 2-dimensional way that we see
:23:15. > :23:20.things. David Bowie has said this was probably the most poignant
:23:21. > :23:26.version of his song ever created. And it is definitely recorded in the
:23:26. > :23:31.right place. A victory parade has taken place in
:23:31. > :23:37.Manchester to mark Manchester United's 20th league title and Sir
:23:37. > :23:45.Alex Ferguson's retirement. He is retiring at the age of 71 after 26
:23:45. > :23:55.years in charge. The Premier League trophy was presented yesterday.

:24:01. > :24:04.the coming days, Old Trafford will be under new management and Sir Alex
:24:04. > :24:06.Ferguson will become part of Manchester United history. During
:24:06. > :24:11.his time, the triumphant lap of Manchester has become something of a
:24:11. > :24:14.ritual. But none of those past parades will have felt like this.
:24:14. > :24:23.Ever since he announced his retirement last week, the man they
:24:23. > :24:27.simply called the boss has been on one long farewell tour. Yesterday I
:24:27. > :24:30.will never forget. I thank you for that. It was wonderful. My family
:24:30. > :24:37.will never forget it and it will live in the memory of my
:24:37. > :24:43.grandchildren for many years. This victory parade is about one club,
:24:43. > :24:47.one city, paying tribute to a man who turned Manchester United into a
:24:47. > :24:51.global sporting giant. It also feels like a national occasion, a moment
:24:51. > :24:54.to celebrate one of the most enduring and successful figures in
:24:54. > :25:01.British public life. At one stage, the crowds were so thick you
:25:01. > :25:05.wondered whether the bus would make it to the city centre. But Ferguson
:25:05. > :25:07.is not a man to be blown off course, even if it was a little bit chilly
:25:07. > :25:12.for the most formidable pensioner in football. Despite his age, the fans
:25:12. > :25:20.were not ready for him to go. It is a massive loss, like losing a member
:25:20. > :25:26.of your family. It is the end of an era, but a very good one. We have
:25:26. > :25:29.had the two best managers ever. Alex Ferguson's great skill has been
:25:29. > :25:36.to navigate through the changing landscape of English football, the
:25:36. > :25:45.money, the players and the owners, and still come out a winner. But his
