:00:12. > :00:17.Brady, speaks in public for the first time behinds sis conviction.

:00:17. > :00:20.Brady is now 75. He tells a tribunal that he's not mentally ill and

:00:20. > :00:24.should be transferred to a normal prison.

:00:24. > :00:28.He spoke nearly half a century after murdering five children and experts

:00:28. > :00:32.are now questioning his motives. This is to some degree an act and

:00:32. > :00:36.it's one that he's been relersting for a very, very long time. It's

:00:36. > :00:44.thought that if he's returned to jail he could try to starve himself

:00:44. > :00:50.to death. Also, half a million women could be offered a daily pill to

:00:50. > :00:55.help prevent breast cancer. New allegations of police conduct after

:00:55. > :01:05.Stephen Lawrence's murder. In India, efforts to reach survivors trapped

:01:05. > :01:11.by severe flooding are being hampered by continuing bad weather.

:01:11. > :01:17.And an impressive start at Wimbledon for Britain's Laura Robson. She

:01:17. > :01:22.beats the tenth seed in straight sets. In Sportsday, Alex Corbisiero

:01:22. > :01:32.must be patient and he as Roberts are ruled unlikely to roar with the

:01:32. > :01:49.

:01:49. > :01:53.told a tribunal that he's not mentally ill and should be moved

:01:53. > :01:59.from a secure hospital to a prison. He believes that might give him the

:01:59. > :02:06.freedom to sarve himself to death. He was -- starve himself to death.

:02:06. > :02:11.He was speaking publicly for the first time since 1966. This is how

:02:11. > :02:17.the public has seen Ian Brady for half a century, his black and white

:02:17. > :02:23.mug shot image frozen in 1966. And this is how he looks today. Now, 75,

:02:23. > :02:29.he's a grey-haired pensioner, attached to a nasal feeding tube.

:02:29. > :02:33.His crimes are infamous. He and his girlfriend, Myra Hindley, tortured

:02:33. > :02:43.and murder five children, taking most of them up to Saddleworth Moor

:02:43. > :02:48.

:02:48. > :02:54.above Manchester and burying them Manchester Justice Centre since

:02:54. > :02:58.1985, when he was diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic. He says here

:02:58. > :03:04.he's on hunger strike, though the court has heard he eats soup and

:03:04. > :03:14.toast and he hints instead he wants to starve to death in prison. Of

:03:14. > :03:16.

:03:16. > :03:21.really is what he wants you to believe he is like. He wants you to

:03:21. > :03:25.believe that he's a rational person, reasonable person. However, this is

:03:25. > :03:32.to some degree an act and it's one that he's been rehearsing for a

:03:32. > :03:34.very, very long time. The 1960s murders are among Britain's most

:03:34. > :03:44.notorious crimes. For the families of the child victims, the pain

:03:44. > :03:57.

:03:57. > :04:07.continues. Today, they heard Brady or not, he will have thrived on

:04:07. > :04:08.

:04:08. > :04:12.this, being bang, centre stage. He will still thrive on it, even though

:04:12. > :04:16.he's got nothing out of it. evidence was shown on TV screens to

:04:16. > :04:21.the public, press and victims' families, who were watching via

:04:21. > :04:29.videolink. After a legal campaign that started in 2010, Brady's fBG

:04:29. > :04:33.only the second -- become only the second psychiatric patient to be

:04:33. > :04:39.granted such a tribunal. Today, he said he knew he would die behind

:04:39. > :04:43.bars. This, then, could be the last we see of him. Judith is in

:04:43. > :04:50.Manchester for us. You were at the hearing today. What were your

:04:50. > :04:54.impressions? We were here in Manchester, where it is relayed via

:04:54. > :04:58.videolink and given Brady's notoriety, it was always going to be

:04:58. > :05:03.come pulsive viewing, which in the event, it was, but it was also in

:05:03. > :05:06.part difficult to follow, though a large sections which were rambling

:05:06. > :05:11.and his answers often made little sense and his lawyers asked him to

:05:11. > :05:16.get to the point. We heard his views on all sorts of subjects and at the

:05:16. > :05:20.end of the day, if his bid to move to a mainstream prison is success

:05:20. > :05:24.successful then he'll move, but if it isn't and he stays at Ashworth,

:05:24. > :05:30.well then he may consider today's court hearing some kind of personal

:05:30. > :05:34.victory. His own legal team says he as a narcissistic personality

:05:34. > :05:39.disorder and the families of the children who he killed have their

:05:39. > :05:43.concerns that the public circus as they've described it, surrounding

:05:43. > :05:49.today's hearing, may only have added fuel to his ego.

:05:49. > :05:54.Thank you. Around 500,000 women in England and

:05:54. > :05:58.Wales could soon be offered a daily pill to help prevent breast cancer.

:05:58. > :06:08.New guidelines mean women over the age of 35 could be offered one of

:06:08. > :06:11.

:06:11. > :06:15.two drugs, if they have a family - the aim, to protect healthy women

:06:15. > :06:19.from ever developing breast cancer cells like these. The drug,

:06:20. > :06:25.tamoxifen, used for decades to treat breast cancer can also prevent it.

:06:25. > :06:29.It will be offered to those like Katie, whose mother had the disease.

:06:29. > :06:33.Obviously, it's been a big issue for me and my family and two sisters in

:06:33. > :06:38.particular, knowing that we are at higher risk. So, reading the news

:06:38. > :06:43.that there could be a preventative measure that we could take is really

:06:43. > :06:47.interesting to us. Women have a one in eight lifetime risk of getting

:06:47. > :06:53.breast cancer. The NICE guidance says healthy women aged 35 and over

:06:53. > :06:59.who have at least a one in six risk should be offered tamoxifen for five

:06:59. > :07:05.years. The drug can cut risk by 40% and it's thought that benefit

:07:06. > :07:10.continues for at least a decade after treatment stops. The

:07:10. > :07:15.guidelines on tamoxifen will apply across Britain. Treatment costs just

:07:15. > :07:19.50 pence a week, compared to thousands of pounds for a

:07:19. > :07:24.preventative mastectomy. This now offers them the opportunity to do

:07:24. > :07:28.something else instead of having to go for surgery. It increases their

:07:29. > :07:33.choices really, which is why it's important. Some women will still opt

:07:33. > :07:41.for breast removal, like the actress, Angelina Jolie. A faulty

:07:41. > :07:45.gene meant her cancer risk was extremely high. Five members of

:07:45. > :07:49.Helen's family have had breast cancer. She is due to have a

:07:49. > :07:53.mastectomy in October, which will reduce her risk to almost zero.

:07:53. > :07:57.got two young children and I really want to give myself the best

:07:57. > :08:03.fighting chance I can of not developing breast cancer. And

:08:03. > :08:08.statistically that is surgery, not taking tamoxifen. And, there are

:08:08. > :08:12.down sides to drug treatment. Like all medicines, tamoxifen has

:08:12. > :08:16.potential side effects. It increases the risk of blood clots and of

:08:16. > :08:23.cancer of the womb lining, though these risks are usually outweighed

:08:23. > :08:28.by the benefits in breast cancer reduction. You can also trigger

:08:28. > :08:32.menopause-like side effects and many women find these so unpleasant they

:08:32. > :08:37.stop taking the drug. Those potential side effects mean many

:08:37. > :08:43.healthy women will face a dilemma over whether she should sign up for

:08:43. > :08:48.five years of preventative treatment. The Chancellor, George

:08:48. > :08:51.Osborne, has promised that schools' budgets in England will be protected

:08:52. > :08:59.along with the NHS and overseas aid in the spending plans announced

:08:59. > :09:05.tomorrow for 2015. You had is set to cut �11. 5 billion and Labour admits

:09:05. > :09:10.it would have to stick to the plans if it won the next election.

:09:10. > :09:14.This is the week when a blank political canvass starts to be

:09:14. > :09:18.filled. The week when we get a picture of where the Treasury acts

:09:18. > :09:22.on spend -- axe on spending falls next. The week when the parties road

:09:22. > :09:27.test the slogans to fill the campaign posters at the next

:09:28. > :09:31.election. Iain Duncan Smith's welfare budget is one of the few

:09:31. > :09:37.that isn't being cut further, but tomorrow we'll learn which ministers

:09:37. > :09:41.won and which lost the battle to protect their budgets. When George

:09:41. > :09:45.Osborne unveils the results of the months of negotiation in his

:09:46. > :09:51.Spending Review. Today, in the Commons, he and his Shadow squared

:09:51. > :09:56.up for the fight to come The economy has flat lined for three years.

:09:56. > :10:00.Isn't this economic failure the reason why the Chancellor will not

:10:00. > :10:05.now balance the books and why tomorrow he is coming back to this

:10:06. > :10:12.House to ask for more cuts to public services? Getting a lesson from the

:10:12. > :10:16.Shadow Chancellor is like getting a lesson from Dracula on looking after

:10:16. > :10:20.a blood bank. On Saturday, the Labour leader said Labour would rule

:10:20. > :10:24.our borrowing more, but on Sunday the Shadow Chancellor said Labour

:10:24. > :10:28.could bore remuch, yes, yes, of course. The Chancellor will come to

:10:28. > :10:35.spell out cuts that won't be made for more than another two years.

:10:35. > :10:40.Why? Partly because of politics. He wants voters to say to Labour, "We

:10:40. > :10:45.know what that lot would cut, but what would you cut?". There are just

:10:45. > :10:51.97 weeks to go until the general election but it's already clear what

:10:51. > :10:55.the Tories' message will be - you still can't trust Labour. That was

:10:55. > :10:59.our mock-up of what the campaign might say, but what about Labour's?

:10:59. > :11:03.Ed Miliband and Ed Balls saw the Tories' trap coming, which is why in

:11:03. > :11:07.the past few weeks they've given speeches saying that date to day

:11:07. > :11:12.they'll spend exactly the same as the coalition. They would only

:11:12. > :11:17.borrow more to invest in things like housing. Their election message is

:11:17. > :11:23.equally clear. It's hurting because it's not been working. It is time

:11:23. > :11:27.for a change. The Chancellor took up sponge painting today, as a way to

:11:27. > :11:31.reassure you that the schools budget will be protected, along with the

:11:31. > :11:37.NHS and overseas aid. All the cuts had of course to be agreed by the

:11:37. > :11:43.Lib Dems, who showed their limb -- they're limbering up by a row by

:11:43. > :11:49.releasing the letter left behind in the Treasury which said, "I'm afraid

:11:49. > :11:51.there's no money." Why are they still cutting? We have this black

:11:51. > :11:56.hole from the previous Labour Government and we still have one of

:11:56. > :11:58.the largest deficits in Europe and if you don't fill it, all you end up

:11:59. > :12:03.doing is asking our children and grandchildren to pay off this

:12:03. > :12:06.generation's debts and that's not fair. At the last election you may

:12:06. > :12:10.recall we were all told that spending cuts would be over by the

:12:10. > :12:15.time we next chose a Government. We didn't quite -- it didn't quite work

:12:15. > :12:19.didn't quite -- it didn't quite work out that way. Nick there with some

:12:19. > :12:22.of the political calculations ahead of the Chancellor's statement

:12:22. > :12:26.tomorrow. How much room for manoeuvre does he have and what is

:12:26. > :12:31.the scope for major savings? Stephanie Flanders has been looking

:12:31. > :12:38.at the figures. Back in 2010, George Osborne thought he could get rid of

:12:38. > :12:40.the hole in the budget by the next election. It turned out he couldn't.

:12:40. > :12:45.That's not because Whitehall departments have failed to deliver

:12:45. > :12:49.cuts. Quite the opposite. It's all down to the poor performance of the

:12:49. > :12:53.economy and the Office for Budget Responsibility's increasingly gloomy

:12:53. > :12:57.view of how fast we can grow in the future. They've managed to get the

:12:57. > :13:02.cuts so far to stick. They've overdelivered on that, but there is

:13:03. > :13:06.still a lot more to do because of the lack of tax revenue. We have got

:13:06. > :13:16.a virtual treasury court yard to go through some of the numbers we are

:13:16. > :13:22.

:13:22. > :13:25.bill, the �314 billion that Whitehall departments get for

:13:25. > :13:30.day-to-day spending on schools, transport and the police. This is

:13:30. > :13:36.what their budget looks like for next year, the tax year that begins

:13:36. > :13:39.in April 2014. You can see the big spenders are health and education,

:13:39. > :13:45.ranging down to international development and the Home Office. We

:13:45. > :13:49.know George Osborne is looking for savings of �11.5 billion. If those

:13:49. > :13:54.were spread evenly across departments, every minister will be

:13:54. > :13:59.facing an extra 2.3% cut after inflation. We know that won't happen

:13:59. > :14:05.because the Government has again promised to ringfence or protect

:14:05. > :14:09.spending on the NHS, on schools and on international aid. Now, he could

:14:09. > :14:14.spread the cuts evenly over the other unprotected departments, but

:14:14. > :14:18.if the Chancellor follows the same pattern as the last review, defence

:14:18. > :14:22.will come off relatively lightly and there will be a squeeze for the Home

:14:22. > :14:28.Office, transport and local government who would then have seen

:14:28. > :14:31.their budgets cut by nearly a third after inflation since 2010. George

:14:31. > :14:36.Osborne may say tomorrow's review will help frame a debate in the

:14:36. > :14:43.lead-up to the election about the future shape of the state. It's

:14:43. > :14:47.already changing quite dramatically without very much debate at all.

:14:47. > :14:51.BBC News has been told that the Metropolitan Police secretly

:14:51. > :14:57.recorded two meetings between Duwayne Brooks, a friend of the

:14:57. > :15:07.murdered teenager, Stephen Lawrence, and his solicitors. Scotland Yard is

:15:07. > :15:09.

:15:09. > :15:13.treating the matter "with huge seriousness".

:15:13. > :15:18.This is Duwayne Brooks, the best friend of Stephen Lawrence, visiting

:15:18. > :15:22.his lawyer's office a decade ago. He was the victim of the same ambush by

:15:22. > :15:25.racists that murdered Stephen, but an undercover police officer has

:15:25. > :15:31.alleged that in the '90s the Met tried to find information to

:15:31. > :15:36.discredit him. Later, it was claimed today the police secretly recorded

:15:36. > :15:41.Duwayne Brooks, even as the Macpherson Inquiry was branding the

:15:41. > :15:45.force "racist and bungling". In 1999, this building housed the

:15:45. > :15:50.offices of the law firm representing Duwayne Brooks. In that year, at

:15:50. > :15:55.least two meetings were held here between Mr Brooks, his solicitors

:15:55. > :15:59.and Met Police officers. The BBC's been told that those meetings were

:15:59. > :16:04.secretly recorded by the police, with the permission of a senior

:16:04. > :16:08.officer. Mr Brooks' lawyer says the purpose of the conversations was to

:16:08. > :16:13.brief her client and his legal team on the police investigation into the

:16:13. > :16:15.Lawrence murder. Today, she has written to the Commissioner of the

:16:15. > :16:20.Met seeking confirmation that they were recorded without their

:16:20. > :16:24.knowledge. Had the police wished to record it simply for their own

:16:24. > :16:31.records, they could have asked us and we would have made a decision on

:16:31. > :16:37.that, had they wanted to make notes. There is something very worrying

:16:37. > :16:43.about the fact that it was covert, if indeed it really did happen.

:16:43. > :16:48.Tonight, Scotland Yard passed the matter to its head of professional

:16:48. > :16:52.standards. Recent claims that this former undercover police officer

:16:52. > :16:56.were sent to spy on the Lawrence family and Duwayne Brooks have

:16:56. > :17:01.called for a judge-led inquiry. open to the idea of a judge-led

:17:01. > :17:10.inquiry. It is now 20 years since Stephen Lawrence was murdered, but

:17:10. > :17:13.the case continues to resonate. President Putin has confirmed that

:17:13. > :17:18.the American fugitive, Edward Snowden, is still in the transit

:17:18. > :17:21.area of an airport in Moscow. Snowden, who is wanted for leaking

:17:21. > :17:29.security information, arrived there on Sunday after travelling from Hong

:17:29. > :17:32.Kong. Russia says he remains a free man.

:17:32. > :17:35.The former South African President, Nelson Mandela, remains in a

:17:35. > :17:39.critical but stable condition after his health deteriorated over the

:17:39. > :17:43.weekend. He is suffering from a recurring lung infection and has

:17:43. > :17:49.been in hospital for more than two weeks. More family members visited

:17:49. > :17:53.the former President during the day. A man cleared of raping a pensioner

:17:53. > :17:57.in her home 16 years ago has been found guilty after being tried for a

:17:57. > :18:03.second time. Wendell Baker's first trial was stopped when the judge

:18:03. > :18:06.ruled that his DNA had been improperly retained. His retrial and

:18:06. > :18:14.conviction follows a BBC investigation into the case. Baker

:18:14. > :18:19.will be sentenced on Friday. REPORTER: My name is Richard Bilton.

:18:19. > :18:22.This is when Wendell Baker's past caught up with him.

:18:23. > :18:28.REPORTER: We think justice wasn't served.

:18:28. > :18:34.In 2009, the BBC investigated Baker's case. I asked him about

:18:34. > :18:40.Hazel Blackwell, the woman he attacked and left for dead. Get out

:18:40. > :18:44.my face! Hazel Blackwell was 66 when she was

:18:44. > :18:49.beaten and raped in her own bedroom. Wendell Baker went to trial, but it

:18:49. > :18:58.collapsed. DNA showed he was the attacker but it shouldn't have been

:18:58. > :19:02.held by the police on a technicality. The double jeopardy

:19:02. > :19:07.law meant he couldn't be tried again for the same crime. In 2005, the law

:19:07. > :19:13.changed. Baker is one of only a handful of cases brought back for a

:19:13. > :19:17.retrial. This case matters and is significant because it's one which

:19:17. > :19:25.the public might feel that there had been a miscarriage of justice.

:19:25. > :19:30.took an hour for the jury to return a unanimous verdict. 16 years after

:19:30. > :19:33.the attack, Wendell Baker has at last faced justice. It is right that

:19:33. > :19:37.we pursue justice now for Hazel Blackwell. It is right that we do

:19:37. > :19:45.this so that the public, members of the public can see the Metropolitan

:19:45. > :19:48.Police do not give up. This wasn't just about the police. BBC lawyers

:19:48. > :19:54.spent months lifting an anonymity lawyer which gave Wendell Baker the

:19:54. > :20:00.protection afforded to victims. Removing that meant he could be

:20:00. > :20:06.exposed. Hazel died in 2002, but her family have at last seen her

:20:06. > :20:10.attacker jailed. In northern India, a military

:20:10. > :20:14.helicopter has crashed with the loss of eight lives as it was taking part

:20:14. > :20:18.in efforts to rescue thousands of people stranded by floods. Heavy

:20:18. > :20:22.rain and landslides have devastated much of the state of Uttarakhand

:20:22. > :20:31.where bad weather is still hampering all the relief operations. More than

:20:32. > :20:37.800 people have died in the floods. It's a disaster that has devastated

:20:37. > :20:42.India on a scale that no-one was prepared for. Entire villages have

:20:42. > :20:48.been washed-away. This used to be a highway, until landslides took away

:20:48. > :20:54.a chunk of it. Tens of thousands left stranded, spending days out in

:20:54. > :20:57.the open. The Indian air force has flown hundreds of missions to get

:20:57. > :21:02.them out in difficult conditions. Because of the terrain and the fact

:21:02. > :21:07.that most of the roads have been destroyed, the only way in-and-out

:21:07. > :21:11.is by helicopter. On board, are a team of Special Forces hoping to

:21:11. > :21:15.find survivors on the slopes, but the weather has not been very good

:21:15. > :21:22.and we have been forced to turn back and wait for it to clear before we

:21:22. > :21:29.can proceed. These swirling floodwaters have destroyed entire

:21:29. > :21:38.communities. This woman can hardly believe she is alive. One of nearly

:21:38. > :21:44.100,000 people who have been rescued so far. Many of them are children.

:21:49. > :21:57.More than a week after the tragedy, there are many still miss missing

:21:57. > :22:02.and with every passing day, their families are losing hope. -- still

:22:02. > :22:05.missing. The Education Minister for Wales,

:22:09. > :22:14.keep a school open in his constituency. Mr Andrews, seen on

:22:40. > :22:47.For the thousands of British fans, a bright day at Wimbledon and a

:22:47. > :22:52.dazzling performance. Laura Robson was once the girl's champion here,

:22:52. > :22:57.but against Maria Kirilenko she began the underdog. You would have

:22:57. > :23:05.hardly guessed it! Lending poise and power, Robson roared to the first

:23:05. > :23:13.set. The crowd roared its approval. COMMENTARY: That is the pick of the

:23:13. > :23:17.crop! There was a brief wobble but she held her nerve in style.

:23:48. > :23:56.and Heather Watson, still recovering from glandular fever. She was

:23:56. > :24:02.outmuscled by Madison Keys. There was no outmusling Serena Williams.

:25:17. > :25:21.is a big pressure. If you don't like that pressure, you shouldn't be

:25:21. > :25:25.doing it. It is a pleasure for me, it is a privilege to do something on

:25:29. > :25:33.I tried to get the rights on three other occasions to this and was

:25:33. > :25:39.forbidden them. The producers seem to have done everything in their

:25:39. > :25:43.power to ensure its success. There's spectacular sets, a well-drilled

:25:47. > :25:53.talent that can overcome the reality of putting an a new show in the West

:25:53. > :25:58.End. It is a very risky business. There's many a musical that's

:25:58. > :26:05.sounded good on paper but struggled on stage. Viva Forever failed to

:26:47. > :26:51.if this show had opened. The West End is big enough! It is not cheap

:26:51. > :26:55.to take the family to the theatre and there are plenty of shows to
