:00:18. > :00:20.Desperate families in search of their loved ones, four years after

:00:21. > :00:31.the brutal and bitter civil war ended. What we need from the Sri

:00:32. > :00:36.Lankan government is more generosity. In victory, magnanimity.

:00:37. > :00:39.Bring the country together by making sure people have proper rights.

:00:40. > :00:42.Tough talking at a face to face meeting. The two men clash over Mr

:00:43. > :00:48.Cameron's call for the truth about what happened in the conflict.

:00:49. > :00:52.The plight of the children in the Philippines, homeless and hopeless

:00:53. > :00:55.after Typhoon Haiyan. New proposals for the elderly and

:00:56. > :01:04.vulnerable to have a named GP in charge of their care.

:01:05. > :01:12.China announces an easing of its one child policy.

:01:13. > :01:18.And England feel the Chile factor tonight at Wembley.

:01:19. > :01:22.Coming up on BBC News, a new era for Ireland as Martin O'Neill and Roy

:01:23. > :01:48.Keane lead the Republic. Good evening from Colombo, where the

:01:49. > :01:53.Commonwealth Summit has got underway. The meeting has been

:01:54. > :01:57.overshadowed by allegations that the Sri Lankan government is guilty of

:01:58. > :02:02.war crimes committed at the end of the conflict with Tamil separatists

:02:03. > :02:06.in 2009. Thousands of civilians were killed in the final battle. David

:02:07. > :02:09.Cameron is here and it is an issue he has raised with the Sri Lankan

:02:10. > :02:14.president. After the opening ceremony here, Mr Cameron became the

:02:15. > :02:20.first foreign leader for more than 60 years to visit Jaffna, the

:02:21. > :02:24.heartland of the Tamil minority. Nick Robinson was with Mr Cameron

:02:25. > :02:31.when his convoy was confronted by a protest.

:02:32. > :02:36.They call them the disappeared, fathers, sons, husbands who

:02:37. > :02:41.surrendered at the end of Sri Lanka's civil war and have not been

:02:42. > :02:44.seen since. The United Nations says that only in Iraq are there more

:02:45. > :02:53.people who have simply vanished without trace. Today in Jaffna, the

:02:54. > :02:57.police stopped their relatives handing in their photos, their

:02:58. > :03:07.letters, their petitions to the first world leader ever to visit

:03:08. > :03:12.their part of this troubled island. They want to see the Prime Minister

:03:13. > :03:16.here. But David Cameron could not see them. He claims this visit, to a

:03:17. > :03:20.region which once dreamt of forming its own country, will shine a

:03:21. > :03:26.spotlight not just on the crimes of the past but the abuses of the

:03:27. > :03:33.present. There, too, to greet him at every stop he made, the same group

:03:34. > :03:40.of pro-government protesters. Their signs in perfect English. Anybody

:03:41. > :03:46.here speak English? You have English signs. The answer was that none of

:03:47. > :03:49.them did. They were supporters of President Rajapaksa, who greeted

:03:50. > :03:56.David Cameron at the start of today's Commonwealth Summit. The

:03:57. > :04:03.leader of Sri Lanka is relishing being at the centre of attention.

:04:04. > :04:08.Whilst the leaders talked, David Cameron visited the main Tamil

:04:09. > :04:13.newspaper in the north, its presses smashed and burned. Who did it? One

:04:14. > :04:18.journalist told me the government, before pleading that I should not

:04:19. > :04:21.show his face. And here is why. On the walls of the newspaper office,

:04:22. > :04:31.pick chores of the six journalists killed. -- photos. Everywhere we

:04:32. > :04:35.went, a reminder of how resident Rajapaksa exerts control. A Tamil

:04:36. > :04:41.leader told the Prime Minister there are still 120,000 security forces in

:04:42. > :04:48.this region, four years after the war ended. This is what the

:04:49. > :05:00.government euphemistically call a welfare centre. To you and me, it is

:05:01. > :05:06.a refugee camp. 14 camps like this. We think over 100,000 people. Now a

:05:07. > :05:10.court of a century of war is over, it is time, he says, for

:05:11. > :05:17.reconciliation. -- a quarter of a century. The fighting is done. What

:05:18. > :05:20.is needed is generosity and magnanimity from the Sri Lankan

:05:21. > :05:23.government to bring the country together. Coming here and listening

:05:24. > :05:28.to these people and hearing the argument helps to draw attention to

:05:29. > :05:32.their plight. He took that message to a meeting with the president,

:05:33. > :05:36.described as tough and Frank. No wonder. Look at the Prime

:05:37. > :05:42.Minister's face at the end. It suggested little had been achieved.

:05:43. > :05:46.This is a day David Cameron will never forget, but the leader of this

:05:47. > :05:57.country is counting on the fact that others will forget and will move on.

:05:58. > :06:00.Since the victory over Tamil separatists, the military has

:06:01. > :06:04.achieved heroic status among those here who saw the conflict as a war

:06:05. > :06:08.against terrorists. But four years after the end of the fighting,

:06:09. > :06:13.critics say the Sri Lankan Armed Forces have too much power over

:06:14. > :06:16.civilian affairs. As I have heard, there are growing fears, especially

:06:17. > :06:23.among Tamils, that the military threatens to crowd them out.

:06:24. > :06:29.If the amount of concrete and glass is a way to judge progress, then Sri

:06:30. > :06:33.Lanka's economy is on the up. There is unprecedented investment in the

:06:34. > :06:37.infrastructure, not just here in the capital, but in the war-ravaged

:06:38. > :06:43.North. Even the military is in on the act. Without a water fight,

:06:44. > :06:47.perhaps it is better to have upwards of 300,000 men under arms occupied

:06:48. > :06:52.in this way, rather than have them return to civilian life in a big

:06:53. > :06:58.rush. But some fear a more troubling development. Never before in this

:06:59. > :07:06.country's history has the military had such a role of prominence in

:07:07. > :07:08.public life. My fear is that institutionalised militarisation,

:07:09. > :07:16.like we have at the moment, will shape the structure of power. For

:07:17. > :07:22.example, here, you have the military cordoning off land along the coast.

:07:23. > :07:26.We went there. The predominantly Tamil east coast has some of the

:07:27. > :07:29.prime beaches. During the civil war it was out of bounds. When it was

:07:30. > :07:38.over, some with land thought they would be reaping the dividends of

:07:39. > :07:40.peace. This Jesuit priest and human rights lawyer says the presence of

:07:41. > :07:47.the military has made that difficult. There is denial of access

:07:48. > :08:00.to Tamil farmers, and also Tamil civilians, of getting back their

:08:01. > :08:03.land. This is the beach. This man has dreams of inviting tourists to

:08:04. > :08:08.his plot of land on the beach, and he brought me what he says are his

:08:09. > :08:11.title deeds. We tried to go to the property but got no further than the

:08:12. > :08:17.military checkpoint. Is this your land?

:08:18. > :08:21.Yet, further along the coast, the air force runs a resort for its

:08:22. > :08:24.personnel. Elsewhere, the military is involved in everything from

:08:25. > :08:28.guesthouses to agriculture. At the summit today, the presidential

:08:29. > :08:33.spokeswoman told me the military was simply helping to develop the

:08:34. > :08:36.country. The idea that the military is helping economic development is

:08:37. > :08:42.one that is lost on the local people in the east of the country. I am not

:08:43. > :08:45.sure I agree. We have heard both sides. We have heard people

:08:46. > :08:49.commending the role of the military and all that they have done, so I am

:08:50. > :08:54.not sure whom you have spoken to, but we have heard the other side of

:08:55. > :08:57.the story as well. But the great fear among Tamils is that the

:08:58. > :09:00.growing presence of the military is part of what they call a process of

:09:01. > :09:08.colonisation, and attempts to change the demography of the country. Nick

:09:09. > :09:11.Robinson is with me. In your report you said there was tough talking

:09:12. > :09:18.between the leaders. Will it make any difference? In public, all we

:09:19. > :09:21.have heard from President Rajapaksa is defiance. In private we are told

:09:22. > :09:26.he listened to David Cameron and then said, we need more time. It has

:09:27. > :09:31.only been four years since the end of the civil war. Not good enough

:09:32. > :09:33.for the Prime Minister. I am told he will try to take an initiative

:09:34. > :09:39.tomorrow to put more pressure on him. But he knows that the president

:09:40. > :09:42.is very popular at home in his own country. So the question we have to

:09:43. > :09:46.ask is whether the spotlight that David Cameron has kept talking

:09:47. > :09:50.about, the spotlight he said he was shining on the way Sri Lanka

:09:51. > :09:53.behaved, is less powerful than the legitimacy the president thinks he

:09:54. > :09:59.has got eye appearing alongside the air to the Throne, along with this

:10:00. > :10:04.the Commonwealth leaders in that magnificent centre at a summit that,

:10:05. > :10:09.for all of the fuss, has not talked about Sri Lanka once. That is it

:10:10. > :10:19.from the Commonwealth Summit. Back to you.

:10:20. > :10:23.A week after Typhoon Haiyan tore through the Philippines aid workers

:10:24. > :10:26.are still struggling to reach the affected. Although many countries

:10:27. > :10:31.have come forward to help, delivery of aid is being hampered by a

:10:32. > :10:35.shortage of vehicles. An RAF cargo plane is due to arrive this weekend

:10:36. > :10:39.to boost the relief effort. The number of dead confirmed has now

:10:40. > :10:42.reached over 3500, although the United Nations has warned the

:10:43. > :10:46.eventual figure is likely to be higher, as more bodies are found.

:10:47. > :10:52.The Red Cross has estimated over 25,000 people are missing. The UN

:10:53. > :10:57.children's agency says it is worried about 5 million children in the

:10:58. > :11:00.disaster zone. Jeremy Cooke has been to the devastated city of Tacloban

:11:01. > :11:05.and a school which is now home to 1500 people.

:11:06. > :11:12.The waters are calm today. The children play in peace. But just

:11:13. > :11:16.metres away, the reality. Their homes destroyed by the raging storm

:11:17. > :11:25.and the giant waves that struck a week ago. Their young lives are

:11:26. > :11:29.changed forever. This girl was badly injured as she swam for her life, a

:11:30. > :11:33.gash in her head now becoming infected. She lives in the filth of

:11:34. > :11:42.a ruined hospital while her parents wait for someone, anyone, to help.

:11:43. > :11:45.She is badly hurt, he says, the doctors say she needs to be

:11:46. > :11:52.transferred to another hospital. They just don't have the facilities

:11:53. > :11:57.to treat her here. Amid the ruins and the chaos and the confusion,

:11:58. > :12:01.tens of thousands of children in this 1's city are homeless. Their

:12:02. > :12:07.schools, if they still stand, have become shelters, classrooms and

:12:08. > :12:12.corridors packed to capacity. Infant babies, who somehow survived

:12:13. > :12:20.disaster, entire families with no other place to go. In an upstairs

:12:21. > :12:26.dorm, teenagers, reflecting on how totally, utterly life has changed.

:12:27. > :12:32.Everything was normal. It was a sunny day. We thought the storm was

:12:33. > :12:42.not true. But looking at the school now, and seeing how Storm Yolanda

:12:43. > :12:47.hit our school, it is like it is never going to be the same. The

:12:48. > :12:51.children and their families can consider themselves among the lucky

:12:52. > :12:55.ones. They survived and they have found a place of safety. Yes, the

:12:56. > :13:01.future is still uncertain, but at least they are alive. So far, the

:13:02. > :13:06.international aid has not got this far. But the teachers are organising

:13:07. > :13:13.for when it does. Everyone, they say, will get their fair share. The

:13:14. > :13:17.requirements are basic. The needs of this school, the people, our food

:13:18. > :13:24.and medicine, and inspiration to move on. Inspiration, yes, but

:13:25. > :13:30.practical help needed, too. There is hunger here, but no starvation. They

:13:31. > :13:40.need help, but the people, the children are holding on, despite so

:13:41. > :13:43.much destruction and tragedy. The Chancellor, George Osborne, has

:13:44. > :13:46.admitted it will take until the end of the decade to deal with

:13:47. > :13:50.written's debt and deficit. On a visit to a coal mine in

:13:51. > :13:53.Nottinghamshire, he insisted the government was making progress but

:13:54. > :14:01.there was still a lot of risk to the recovery and no quick fixes. The

:14:02. > :14:05.government has struck a deal with doctors leaders in England which it

:14:06. > :14:11.hopes will reduce the number of patients turning up at stretched A

:14:12. > :14:16.departments. There will be greater support from GP practices and a

:14:17. > :14:20.named GP in charge of their care. For everyone, the minimum of ten

:14:21. > :14:24.minutes per appointment will be scrapped, giving doctors greater

:14:25. > :14:28.flexibility. From next year, patients must be offered online

:14:29. > :14:33.booking of appointments if they ask for it. The doctors union come in

:14:34. > :14:36.the British Medical Association, has welcomed the move but says it will

:14:37. > :14:46.not mean GPs will be on call 24 hours a day.

:14:47. > :14:49.A GP -- at GP surgeries, doctors now provide a broad range of careful

:14:50. > :14:54.stop at this practice, GPs even carry out minor surgery. But there

:14:55. > :14:59.have been consistent complaints that there is too much bureaucracy and

:15:00. > :15:02.box ticking in general practice. Ministers say the new guidelines

:15:03. > :15:07.will give doctors more time to focus on their most vulnerable patients.

:15:08. > :15:12.It restores the vital link between GPs and patients they are there to

:15:13. > :15:16.look after for every over 75 in the country. I would like to do it more

:15:17. > :15:22.widely but this is a very important step. Will patients be reassured by

:15:23. > :15:29.the idea of a single name Doctor in charge of their care? It is much

:15:30. > :15:35.better. It gives me confidence and I feel as though he knows me. I am all

:15:36. > :15:42.for it. You think it will be a reassurance as you get older?

:15:43. > :15:47.Definitely. Do I look old? Not every elderly patient will necessarily see

:15:48. > :15:50.their named GP every time. It is just that their care will be

:15:51. > :15:55.supervised by that doctor. Labour says these plans don't address the

:15:56. > :16:00.fundamental problem of availability. Under David Cameron it has got

:16:01. > :16:04.harder to get a GP appointment and nothing in today's announcement will

:16:05. > :16:07.correct that. People will still face the frustration of ringing the

:16:08. > :16:13.surgery at 9:00am and being told there is nothing available. These

:16:14. > :16:17.measures are designed to put the doctors surgeries at the heart of

:16:18. > :16:25.care for most vulnerable patients, the elderly and frail, and coach --

:16:26. > :16:33.should ease the pressure. Providing better care for older patients is

:16:34. > :16:40.crucial because they make up the bulk of admissions to A We need

:16:41. > :16:45.to switch money from hospitals to looking after people in their own

:16:46. > :16:51.communities, by switching the technology from an acute hospital

:16:52. > :16:54.bed system to a primary system. The care of the growing number of frail

:16:55. > :17:00.and elderly patients is the biggest challenge facing the NHS. These

:17:01. > :17:04.changes won't come in until next April in England, while negotiations

:17:05. > :17:09.in the rest of the UK are still underway and the pressure of a tough

:17:10. > :17:14.winter lies ahead. The Chinese government has announced

:17:15. > :17:17.a huge raft of economic and social reforms, singling some of the

:17:18. > :17:22.biggest changes in the country in decades -- signalling. They include

:17:23. > :17:30.plans to ease the one child policy and the abolition of the much

:17:31. > :17:35.criticised system of labour camps. It is the world's most controversial

:17:36. > :17:41.family planning law. China's one child policy is set to be relaxed.

:17:42. > :17:48.Many couples in the cities will now be allowed to have a second child.

:17:49. > :17:55.Introduced 30 years ago, the policy was designed to prevent a population

:17:56. > :18:03.explosion. There has often -- it has often been brutally enforced. Last

:18:04. > :18:06.year we met this woman. She and her husband already had a child. Under

:18:07. > :18:11.the exemption she was actually allowed a second. But when she was

:18:12. > :18:16.six months pregnant, officials dragged her to hospital and injected

:18:17. > :18:19.her to force an abortion. TRANSLATION: My baby did not die

:18:20. > :18:26.immediately. It kept on struggling inside me. It broke my heart. The

:18:27. > :18:31.next day it was born still alive. It cried. The doctor said, don't look

:18:32. > :18:37.at it, you will have nightmares. China may have the worlds biggest

:18:38. > :18:41.population but it more babies. The number of workers here is shrinking

:18:42. > :18:47.and the cost for supporting the elderly is rising. The big concern

:18:48. > :18:54.for the country's leaders is that China will become old before it gets

:18:55. > :19:00.rich. This is to make the Chinese demographic trend more balanced,

:19:01. > :19:06.rather than have to many boys and a gender imbalance which is a serious

:19:07. > :19:10.concern. Beijing also announced it will abolish its labour camps, where

:19:11. > :19:16.people could be sent for up to four years without a trial. At this

:19:17. > :19:23.camp, you could hear the chance from prisoners undergoing forced

:19:24. > :19:29.re-education. Today's announcements were bold and eye-catching. The

:19:30. > :19:36.party ultimately believes it will strengthen rather than weaken its

:19:37. > :19:41.grip on power. In Libya, at least 31 people have

:19:42. > :19:44.been killed and more than 200 injured during violent clashes

:19:45. > :19:47.between armed militias and protesters. The protesters were

:19:48. > :19:53.demanding that armed groups leave the capital, Tripoli. The government

:19:54. > :19:57.has been struggling to control numerous militias who control many

:19:58. > :20:00.parts of the country. Nurses, doctors and health managers

:20:01. > :20:05.who mistreat and neglect their patients will face up to five years

:20:06. > :20:09.in prison, under a law changed announced by the government. There

:20:10. > :20:16.will be a new law of wilful neglect covering any staff suspected of

:20:17. > :20:20.mistreating patients in their care. The government has been considering

:20:21. > :20:24.its response to the health care scandal in Mid Staffordshire between

:20:25. > :20:29.2005 and 2009, when as many as 1000 patients could have died needlessly.

:20:30. > :20:35.People were saying, why was no one put in prison why was no one

:20:36. > :20:39.prosecuted? The government has already been looking at placing a GG

:20:40. > :20:49.on medical staff to speak out when they see abuse. -- AGG on. -- a duty

:20:50. > :20:54.on. They are going to consult on how much time they should spend in

:20:55. > :20:57.prison but the idea is to extend legislation which currently exists

:20:58. > :21:01.and applies to the treatment of children and mental health patients.

:21:02. > :21:05.If that principle was applied, doctors and nurses could face up to

:21:06. > :21:10.five years in prison if it is proved they wilfully neglected a patient.

:21:11. > :21:13.The British medical Association is saying the threat of criminal

:21:14. > :21:18.sanctions could create a climate of fear in the NHS and could make it

:21:19. > :21:20.more difficult for doctors and nurses to speak out against their

:21:21. > :21:27.colleagues if they think they will go to jail.

:21:28. > :21:30.Drug cheats will face new sanctions after the World Anti-Doping Agency

:21:31. > :21:34.aggrieved a raft of measures at a major gathering in South Africa. The

:21:35. > :21:38.move will see the minimum ban for athletes doubled from two to four

:21:39. > :21:43.years, meaning they would miss at least one Olympics. Support staff

:21:44. > :21:46.like coaches and doctors who assist doping will be targeted, and the

:21:47. > :21:52.agency will also gain new investigatory Powers to look at

:21:53. > :21:55.countries failing to conduct enough testing. Concerns continue to be

:21:56. > :22:03.raised about drug testing in Kenya and Jamaica, two of track and

:22:04. > :22:08.field's most successful nations. Jamaica, one of the powerhouses of

:22:09. > :22:11.world athletics but failed drugs tests and concerns about the

:22:12. > :22:17.country's anti-doping regime just will not go away. It has been one of

:22:18. > :22:21.the big talking point here in Johannesburg, where the World

:22:22. > :22:25.Anti-Doping Agency has gathered for a major conference on drugs in

:22:26. > :22:29.sport. Following a visit to Jamaica they have insisted on more tests and

:22:30. > :22:33.an increased budget. Wilder's new British president told me the

:22:34. > :22:45.Jamaicans were still under pressure -- W ADA's new British president. I

:22:46. > :22:51.want to see the Jamaican organisation immediately go back and

:22:52. > :22:56.implement the measures. Clearly they were not doing enough testing
