:01:54. > :02:01.and President Obama admitted they had different perspectives but they
:02:01. > :02:07.both wanted to stop the violence and both favoured new negotiations. With
:02:07. > :02:10.the latest, here's our political editor Nick Robinson.
:02:10. > :02:14.Enter the United States of America, the world has been waiting to hear
:02:14. > :02:19.from the man who promised to end wars in the Middle East, but who
:02:19. > :02:24.appeared to be poised to get sucked into another. In Syria. Warning him
:02:24. > :02:28.off the next leader to arrive in Northern Ireland, for this summit of
:02:28. > :02:34.world leaders, Russia's Vladimir Putin. He may look casual, but the
:02:34. > :02:39.man who is arming President Assad's regime is anything but. Their host,
:02:39. > :02:44.David Cameron, is determined to bridge apparently unbridgeable
:02:44. > :02:47.differences, here on the tranquil shores of Lough Erne. He and
:02:47. > :02:51.France's President Hollande persuaded the EU to lift its ban on
:02:51. > :02:56.sending arms to the region, something America has now said it
:02:56. > :03:00.will do. We haven't made a decision to arm the rebels. I completely
:03:00. > :03:04.understand the concerns that everybody has, that I have, about
:03:04. > :03:09.elements of the Syrian opposition, but don't let's accept that there's
:03:09. > :03:13.only one alternative to Assad and that is extremist terrorists.
:03:13. > :03:16.the discussions here this is the one that will probably matter most, a
:03:16. > :03:20.fidgety uncomfortable looking Russian President listened as
:03:20. > :03:26.President Obama said nothing new about arming Syria's rebels but
:03:26. > :03:31.sought instead to emphasise where the two did agree. With respect to
:03:31. > :03:36.Syria, we do have different perspectives on the problem, but we
:03:36. > :03:41.share an interest and reducing the violence, securing chemical
:03:41. > :03:46.weapons... President Putin said they also agreed on the need to stop the
:03:46. > :03:51.violence and start peace negotiations. How and when? He
:03:51. > :03:56.didn't say. So days after America talked about accepting weapons to
:03:56. > :03:59.Syria, no hint of what that means, unless that is the President told
:03:59. > :04:05.the Prime Minister when they travelled together in the back of
:04:05. > :04:09.his limo. Barack Obama and David Cameron may seem to be speeding
:04:09. > :04:13.together towards greater involvement in the war in Syria. However, the
:04:13. > :04:20.Prime Minister lacks parliamentary support and so far the President
:04:20. > :04:25.seems to lack enthusiasm for a policy he spent months resisting.
:04:25. > :04:30.Adding to David Cameron's problems Boris Johnson who's warning we
:04:31. > :04:35.shouldn't arm those he calls Syria's maniacs. What we need to see is a
:04:35. > :04:41.pretty clear way of helping democracy in Syria, helping the good
:04:41. > :04:45.guys, without putting weapons into the hands of maniacs and fanatics.
:04:45. > :04:49.There are other issues, tomorrow the leaders will try to reach agreement
:04:49. > :04:55.on so-called tax transparency or what the campaigners call ending tax
:04:55. > :05:01.dodging. And the EU and the US have already agreed to start talks to
:05:01. > :05:05.reduce barriers to trade, which both sides claim could save us money and
:05:05. > :05:10.create jobs. Two million extra jobs, more choice and lower prices in our
:05:10. > :05:15.shops. We are talking about what could be the biggest bilateral trade
:05:15. > :05:19.deal in history. This summit is an advert for the tranquillity of
:05:19. > :05:23.Northern Ireland, a place scarred for so long by conflict. It's also a
:05:23. > :05:33.reminder, though, that the world is divided on how to handle the worst
:05:33. > :05:35.
:05:35. > :05:37.war of our era. The G8 summit brings the first
:05:37. > :05:40.opportunity for President Obama to visit Northern Ireland. Speaking in
:05:40. > :05:44.Belfast, Mr Obama told an audience of young people that the peace
:05:44. > :05:48.process had given the world hope and said the road to a lasting peace was
:05:48. > :05:52.as urgent now as it had ever been. Our North America editor Mark
:05:52. > :05:55.Mardell reports. This report contains some flash photographry.
:05:55. > :05:59.President Obama can still move a crowd. In fact, he can provoke
:05:59. > :06:03.Belfast into doing a Mexican wave even before he told the audience
:06:03. > :06:08.their part of the world was an inspiration to others, striving to
:06:08. > :06:14.find peace after conflict. But that they could aim even higher. They're
:06:14. > :06:19.studying what you're doing. And they're wonder wondering perhaps if
:06:19. > :06:24.Northern Ireland can achieve peace, we can too. So you're their
:06:24. > :06:31.blueprint to follow. You're their proof of what is possible. Because
:06:31. > :06:36.hope is contagious. They're watching to see what you do next. Perhaps
:06:36. > :06:38.peace has become commonplace here. His purpose, to inject new
:06:38. > :06:43.aspiration into a process that's flagging a little. He certainly
:06:43. > :06:47.succeeded with this young audience. Oh my God, completely incredible. A
:06:47. > :06:51.day I will never, ever, ever forget! It was very moving, very touching,
:06:51. > :06:55.to the heart. It was motivational to - it showed our future and made us
:06:55. > :06:58.want to strive for more peace in the future and gives us a good aim for
:06:58. > :07:03.Northern Ireland. This is the sort of uplifting inspirational speech
:07:03. > :07:09.the President is so good at, about the ending of conflict, the bringing
:07:09. > :07:11.of peace. The day-to-day diplomacy of that is a lot harder. Good
:07:12. > :07:14.afternoon, MrPresident and Prime Minister... The Prime Minister and
:07:14. > :07:17.the President toured April integrated school, a project of the
:07:18. > :07:23.peace. But they can't paint a clear picture of how they want to deal
:07:23. > :07:31.with the conflict in Syria. His note says, dream big dreams, but shifting
:07:31. > :07:39.policy without even talking about it hardly seems visionary. Three cheers
:07:39. > :07:44.for the Prime Minister... The President doesn't seem in any
:07:44. > :07:49.hurry. And some hope he does hold back. Weapons could get in the hands
:07:49. > :07:54.of a group, then pass to another more extreme slam yis group, they
:07:54. > :07:58.could get in -- Islamist group, and get in the wrong hands, it could
:07:58. > :08:03.really hurt our ability in the region to pull things together.
:08:03. > :08:07.While he worked, the First Lady watched Riverdance, there's still an
:08:07. > :08:12.undeniable glamour about this couple but for all the enthusiasm there's
:08:12. > :08:17.hesitation, Obama seems to fear one misstep could bring about a terrible
:08:17. > :08:27.fall. Mark joins us now from the summit
:08:27. > :08:27.
:08:27. > :08:33.srep u in - venue in Fermanagh. What's going on? Well, it is quite
:08:33. > :08:39.extraordinary, this most eloquent of leaders, five days has passed since
:08:39. > :08:44.his official announcement that the military aid would be give given to
:08:44. > :08:48.the rebels, without explaining what that is. This is the first time that
:08:49. > :08:53.he's actually announced, has used the word Syria in talking - in
:08:53. > :08:58.public, and he hasn't explained what it means at all, what the change of
:08:58. > :09:01.policy is going to amount to. You could say he is in the middle of
:09:01. > :09:05.these delicate diplomatic talks and that's what's going on, that he
:09:05. > :09:09.doesn't want to ruin that. I don't think it's that at all. I think that
:09:09. > :09:13.the President hasn't decided exactly how he wants to approach this, how
:09:13. > :09:17.deeply he wants America to get involved. There is no so far path
:09:17. > :09:22.out of the maze. There is one thing going on tonight I must tell you,
:09:22. > :09:25.that at this dinner there's a proposal to reach an agreement
:09:25. > :09:30.around five fairly bland points, I am not sure Russia will go with
:09:30. > :09:37.that, but there could be process on that. So far, no agreement at all.
:09:37. > :09:40.Thank you very much. The broadcaster Stuart Hall has been
:09:40. > :09:43.jailed for 15 months for indecently assaulting girls as young as nine.
:09:43. > :09:47.Hall, who's 83, initially denied the accusations but pleaded guilty in
:09:47. > :09:50.April. The judge at Preston Crown Court said the repeated sexual abuse
:09:50. > :09:54.of children was a serious crime but there have already been complaints
:09:54. > :10:02.that the sentence is too lenient. Our correspondent Judith Moritz
:10:02. > :10:08.reports. In his heydey Stuart Hall broadcast
:10:08. > :10:12.his brand of zany game show fun to 200 million people across Europe.
:10:12. > :10:20.Today, he cut a subdued figure, arriving at court in the knowledge
:10:20. > :10:25.that he faced jail. Hall made his name in the 1970s as the ex-uber apt
:10:26. > :10:30.host of It's A Knockout. But there was a dark side. Today, the court
:10:30. > :10:35.heard that he spent two decades abusing 13 girls as young as nine,
:10:35. > :10:41.some were in court as Hall was jailed for 15 months. This woman was
:10:41. > :10:45.17 when Hall indecently assaulted her in 1975. Her identity is
:10:45. > :10:48.protected by law. I wish I had made a stink at the time, maybe somebody
:10:48. > :10:53.would have, I don't think he would have got done but maybe they would
:10:53. > :10:57.have had a word with him, done something. Now I won't be the only
:10:57. > :11:02.person feeling guilty, other people who worked with him. Stuart Hall was
:11:02. > :11:08.arrested at his home last December. At first he denied the charges
:11:08. > :11:15.making this speech outside one court hearing. The allegations are callous
:11:15. > :11:19.and cruel and above all, spurious. I am not guilty. Hall's denials have
:11:19. > :11:23.upset and offended his victims. The majority of whom only came forward
:11:23. > :11:27.after the publicity surrounding his arrest. He called them liars when he
:11:27. > :11:30.was interviewed by police. He called them liars when he stood outside the
:11:30. > :11:35.Magistrates' Court and by his plea he accepts that he was the liar. His
:11:35. > :11:40.whole life has been a lie. As Stuart Hall is driven away to begin his
:11:40. > :11:44.sentence it's in the knowledge that had he assaulted the girls in more
:11:44. > :11:49.recent years his jail term would have been longer than it is today.
:11:49. > :11:52.The judge in the case explained that he could only sentence Hall anned
:11:52. > :12:02.the guidelines which -- under the guidelines that applied at the time
:12:02. > :12:07.the offences were committed. On the same day that this episode of It's a
:12:07. > :12:14.Knockout was filmed he assaulted a teenager girl. Roz ran the school
:12:14. > :12:18.board on later ensew - -- score board on later episodes, she never
:12:18. > :12:21.saw evidence of the behaviour. pulled the wool over everybody's
:12:21. > :12:26.eyes. It's sad and disgusting also known for football commentary.
:12:26. > :12:30.Today the BBC said it was appalled at his crimes and apologised to his
:12:30. > :12:33.victims, some of whom plan to sue the Corporation. As Hall crouched in
:12:33. > :12:37.the prison van on the way to jail the Attorney General's office said
:12:37. > :12:41.it had already received requests to review his sentence. His barrister
:12:41. > :12:50.said the broadcaster had once brought laughter to millions, but
:12:50. > :12:53.that tonight he will feel desperate fear as the cell door slams shut.
:12:53. > :13:00.The Moors murderer Ian Brady has appeared in public for the first
:13:00. > :13:03.time in decades. He was taking part in a hearing to assess his sanity as
:13:03. > :13:06.he seeks to move from a maximum security hospital to a prison. Brady
:13:06. > :13:14.is 75 and has been on hunger strike for years but is being force-fed.
:13:14. > :13:19.Our north of England correspondent Danny Savage reports. Ian Brady,
:13:19. > :13:23.child serial killer who has been behind bars for 50 years. Today he
:13:23. > :13:29.was seen publicly for the first time in decades. He attended his mental
:13:29. > :13:34.health Tribunal wearing sunglasses and with a feeding tube in his nose.
:13:34. > :13:39.He has refused food for years. He wanted this public in hearing. In
:13:39. > :13:43.the 1960s, he brutally tortured and murdered five youngsters. Families
:13:43. > :13:48.of his victims heard today how Ian Brady thinks his crimes were petty
:13:48. > :13:57.compared to what soldiers and politicians do in war. He insists
:13:57. > :14:00.that he is sane. This author has interviewed Ian Brady a number of
:14:00. > :14:07.times. The Lockerbie bomber, another one he complained about recently.
:14:07. > :14:12.Yes, I've killed five people, but that is not as bad as so-and-so who
:14:12. > :14:17.killed many more. An expert witness said today that his personality
:14:17. > :14:21.disorder could be characterised by superiority, self-centredness,
:14:21. > :14:26.contempt and hostility. He now wants to be moved to a normal prison,
:14:26. > :14:30.where he believes he will be more free to end his life in his own way.
:14:30. > :14:34.Most of Ian Brady's victims were dumped in shallow graves in the more
:14:34. > :14:41.land above Manchester. He even took trophy pictures of his accomplice,
:14:41. > :14:45.Myra Hindley. It is still poignant because one of the young victims,
:14:45. > :14:50.Keith Bennett, is still buried here. His body has never been found,
:14:50. > :14:53.despite repeated appeals from his mother for that vital piece of
:14:53. > :15:00.information that would lead police to his body and allow her to give
:15:00. > :15:08.him a proper burial. That darkness has left relatives feeling that Ian
:15:08. > :15:12.Brady must give something if he wants something. If we could get Ian
:15:12. > :15:17.Brady to point out exactly where Keith Bennett is, because he knows
:15:17. > :15:23.where he is, then after that he can go and do whatever the hell he wants
:15:23. > :15:31.to do. But this hearing is about his condition, not his crimes. Ian Brady
:15:31. > :15:35.may speak for himself as the tribunal continues.
:15:35. > :15:39.Labour is promising to give all state schools in England the same
:15:39. > :15:43.rights as academies and free schools, that is if it wins the next
:15:43. > :15:46.election, including more freedom over what they teach. Labour also
:15:46. > :15:52.said they would not allow any more free schools independent of local
:15:52. > :15:56.authority control to be set up after 2015. Currently there are nearly
:15:56. > :16:02.3000 academies and 81 free schools with more than 200 approved to open,
:16:02. > :16:05.some from September this year. Reeta Chakrabarti has more details. This
:16:05. > :16:10.goal landscape has changed dramatically under the coalition,
:16:10. > :16:15.with mushrooming of academies and the start of free schools. Labour
:16:15. > :16:20.took a major step today in setting out how it will respond, saying that
:16:20. > :16:24.standards and not school structures were key. Where school freedom
:16:24. > :16:28.promotes higher standards, we will extend those freedoms to all
:16:29. > :16:33.schools. So if a freedom that is currently afforded to an academy is
:16:33. > :16:37.serving to drive up standards, that freedom should be available to all
:16:37. > :16:42.state funded schools. So if Labour were to lead the next Government,
:16:42. > :16:46.they would extend to all schools powers to set their own curriculum,
:16:46. > :16:50.and the freedom to decide the length of the school day and term. Around
:16:50. > :16:54.half of all secondary schools in England have not become academies
:16:54. > :17:00.and the headteacher here says they already enjoy the freedoms that
:17:00. > :17:04.academies have. She says she is disappointed in Labour's project. My
:17:04. > :17:09.message to Labour would be to talk to us. Let us help you develop a
:17:09. > :17:18.policy and go forward. Without does help a new and taking that on board,
:17:19. > :17:22.it will not happen. -- without us helping you. Free schools are
:17:22. > :17:28.intended to provide more choice. They are a favourite of Michael
:17:28. > :17:32.Gove. Labour says that too many open in areas with spare places in good
:17:32. > :17:40.local schools. But Harpenden free school opened because there was a
:17:40. > :17:42.need and here they think that losing free schools would be a shame.
:17:42. > :17:47.reason we set up in Harpenden was because of the need for school
:17:47. > :17:50.places. More than 60 did not get offered a place on admissions day.
:17:50. > :17:55.There is a real desire and passion from parents in the area for
:17:55. > :17:59.different educational model to be used as well. Labour would open
:17:59. > :18:03.parent led academies, set up in areas are proven need like this, and
:18:03. > :18:07.which could only employ fully qualified teachers, unlike in free
:18:07. > :18:11.schools. But ministers said these were free schools under a different
:18:11. > :18:15.name and amounted to a backhanded compliment. Basically he is
:18:15. > :18:19.acknowledging that free schools and academies are popular with parents
:18:19. > :18:29.and they are driving up standards. He have to say that he is in favour
:18:29. > :18:45.
:18:45. > :18:46.of them, which is a big move from where the Labour Party were in the
:18:46. > :18:49.past. Academies were in fact started under
:18:49. > :18:51.Labour. The plans today for all schools, not just academies, but
:18:51. > :18:53.this is a significant step in the party reclaiming some of its own
:18:53. > :18:58.land. The Co-op needs to raise �1.5
:18:58. > :19:03.billion in capital. The Co-operative Bank made some history to date with
:19:03. > :19:07.�1.5 billion rescue that did not involve money from us, from
:19:07. > :19:13.taxpayers, and with a controversial move to become more like mainstream
:19:13. > :19:18.banks with investors owning a big chunk of it. The Co-op bank's
:19:18. > :19:23.customers can breathe a sigh of relief because their savings will be
:19:23. > :19:29.safe. But for the group, the nature of the rescue represents a serious
:19:29. > :19:36.strategic failure. The Co-op bank is becoming much more like a
:19:36. > :19:41.conventional bank, with shares on the stock market, and much less like
:19:41. > :19:45.a mutual, like a co-operative. Their difficulties stem from loans in
:19:45. > :19:49.property to other companies that went back and generated big losses.
:19:49. > :19:55.Many of the loans were made by the Britannia building society, which
:19:55. > :20:00.the Co-op board in 2009. It needs to raise capital, the shock absorbers
:20:00. > :20:03.that all banks are obliged to have to absorb future losses. As part of
:20:04. > :20:13.the rescue, providers of �1.3 billion of bombs and riskier loans
:20:13. > :20:17.to the Co-op bank are being asked to swap them for shares and new bonds.
:20:17. > :20:23.Small investors provided 5% of the �1.3 billion and typically have
:20:23. > :20:27.invested less than �1000 each. Mike Smith, one of the retail investors,
:20:27. > :20:33.was telephoned by the Co-op today with the bad news. I have been a
:20:33. > :20:39.member of the Co-op most of my life. How can it possibly trust them in
:20:39. > :20:45.the future? And what of them being different from other banks? Very
:20:45. > :20:51.disappointed. I feel that they have let society down. Why am a great
:20:51. > :21:01.believer in the Co-op movement. -- I am a great believer. I feel they are
:21:01. > :21:03.
:21:03. > :21:06.no longer trust with and just like another bank -- trustworthy.
:21:06. > :21:11.silver lining is that they are sorting out their problems and not
:21:11. > :21:20.being bailed out by taxpayers. is shocking, is that while the Co-op
:21:20. > :21:27.was managing its affairs, it was being encouraged by the Government
:21:27. > :21:31.to travel in size by buying branches from Lloyds. What was the Treasury
:21:31. > :21:38.and Lloyds doing by using the Co-op is the biggest vehicle for the
:21:38. > :21:48.biggest piece of banking strategy that the Government had? After the
:21:48. > :21:52.great crash of five years ago, this fall from grace shows that things
:21:52. > :21:58.have not worked out. The newly elected President of Iran has said
:21:58. > :22:04.he hopes the world will engage with his constructive approach to his
:22:04. > :22:09.country. He is considered to be a moderate
:22:09. > :22:17.and used his first news conference to signal a change of tone. The new
:22:17. > :22:22.President knows how to hold a press conference, and the days when he was
:22:23. > :22:27.a run's chief nuclear negotiator saw plenty of them. His biggest task is
:22:27. > :22:35.to get the UN to ease its sanctions against Iran, so he needed to
:22:35. > :22:40.demonstrate plenty of reasonableness here. The question of sanctions is a
:22:40. > :22:44.major problem that we are facing. We will act in order to reduce and
:22:44. > :22:52.solve the problem of sanctions. There was a huge turnout of
:22:52. > :23:02.journalists, even though almost every Western news organisation has
:23:02. > :23:02.
:23:03. > :23:06.been prevented from covering the election. Some asked in code terms
:23:07. > :23:12.whether political prisoners would be released. He said don't worry, there
:23:12. > :23:20.will be change, but it takes time. One man in the audience called out
:23:20. > :23:25.that the political prisoner should be released. Hassan Rohani coped
:23:25. > :23:31.with the embarrassment pretty well, but while the security police sorted
:23:31. > :23:35.out the heckler, the new President was hustled out by his minders. I
:23:35. > :23:38.have covered plenty of presidential news conferences in Iran over the
:23:38. > :23:42.years, but I have never seen anything remotely like that. It
:23:42. > :23:48.really does look as though people feel after the election that the
:23:48. > :23:54.harsh, old rules have been lifted, perhaps just a little bit. There is
:23:54. > :23:58.an increasing sense of desperation in Iran now, and as a result of
:23:58. > :24:05.sanctions the economy is dire. Even officially inflation is nearly 30%
:24:05. > :24:09.and food prices are going up twice as fast as that. So how does the new
:24:09. > :24:18.President improve things? By persuading the outside world that he
:24:18. > :24:24.is going to soften the hard line on the new Clio issue -- nuclear issue.
:24:24. > :24:31.The Iranians Government may take up the opportunity of a new
:24:31. > :24:37.relationship with the global community. If Iran is prepared to
:24:37. > :24:41.make that choice on nuclear issues, we are prepared to respond in good
:24:41. > :24:45.faith. Hassan Rohani's popularity means that he can probably allow the
:24:45. > :24:49.nuclear inspectors to see some of what they want. He will realise that
:24:49. > :24:58.he does not have to do all that much to make the outside world feel
:24:58. > :25:02.hugely relieved, even grateful. Police are studying photographs
:25:02. > :25:06.published in a Sunday newspaper which shows the art collector
:25:06. > :25:13.Charles Saatchi with his hands around the neck of his wife, Nigella
:25:13. > :25:18.Lawson. He said that the pictures show the couple having a playful
:25:18. > :25:22.tiff. Scotland Yard officers are deciding whether to investigate.
:25:22. > :25:27.The Duke of Edinburgh has left hospital in London ten days after he
:25:27. > :25:30.was admitted for exploratory surgery. Prince Philip spent less
:25:30. > :25:32.time at the clinic than Buckingham Palace had predicted but will now
:25:33. > :25:40.convalesce for up to two months before taking up his public duties
:25:40. > :25:43.again. Nicholas Witchell reports. It has been his longest stay in
:25:43. > :25:49.hospital and for part of it after the exploratory surgery of more than
:25:49. > :25:53.a week ago he was in intensive care. But he emerged looking fit and
:25:53. > :25:59.relaxed. After thanking medical staff, he walked out of the hospital
:25:59. > :26:03.with a wave, but apparently without difficulty. It is still not clear
:26:03. > :26:06.why he required surgery. Buckingham Palace only said that he was in good
:26:06. > :26:15.condition today and certainly he looked cheerful as he was driven to
:26:15. > :26:19.Windsor Castle to rejoin the Queen. There, this afternoon, another
:26:19. > :26:26.ceremonial highpoint of the summer. They are annual service of the
:26:26. > :26:30.Garter. -- the annual service. Just as at Trooping the Colour, the Queen
:26:30. > :26:33.was not accompanied by her husband. She took part in the procession
:26:33. > :26:36.escorted by Prince Charles and Prince William. For the family, the
:26:36. > :26:46.priority now will be to make sure that the royal routine continues,
:26:46. > :26:50.but without the Duke for the moment. June is normally one of the busiest
:26:50. > :26:53.months of the year for the Queen and the Duke. This year she continues as
:26:53. > :26:57.normal while he convalesce that Windsor. Unlike in past years, he
:26:57. > :27:04.will not be with the green at Royal Ascot, which starts tomorrow, or for
:27:04. > :27:08.the week when the Queen is based at Holyrood House in Edinburgh. The
