:00:11. > :00:23.controversial process of fracking he says the economic gains can't be

:00:24. > :00:27.ignored. Shale gas is important for our country. It could bring over ?3

:00:28. > :00:32.billion of investment, give us cheaper energy for the future and

:00:33. > :00:35.increase energy security. But protesters claim that dangers are

:00:36. > :00:41.being ignored and vast areas of the countryside could be ruined. The

:00:42. > :00:44.risks are far too great. They far outweigh any benefits we might get.

:00:45. > :00:46.We'll have more on the Government's plan to give local authorities

:00:47. > :00:50.financial rewards for allowing development of shale gas. Also

:00:51. > :00:54.tonight: How the debate about the UK's national debt - all ?1.4

:00:55. > :00:56.trillion - of it is affecting the arguments about Scottish

:00:57. > :00:58.independence. The biggest-ever inquiry into child

:00:59. > :01:08.abuse opens in Northern Ireland, considering allegations spanning 70

:01:09. > :01:12.years. Francois Acra first lady could be in hospital for another

:01:24. > :01:28.strong language could be given to the ratings in future. And coming up

:01:29. > :01:31.in Sportsday on BBC News. An emotional Cristiano Ronaldo beats

:01:32. > :01:34.Lionel Messi and Frank Riberey to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or. It's

:01:35. > :01:50.second time the Portugal captain has won the award.

:01:51. > :01:54.Good evening. David Cameron has given his strongest backing yet for

:01:55. > :01:57.shale gas and the controversial process of fracking, saying the new

:01:58. > :02:02.industry could create tens of thousands of jobs and provide

:02:03. > :02:04.cheaper energy. The Prime Minister unveiled financial incentives

:02:05. > :02:07.allowing those councils in England which approve new shale projects to

:02:08. > :02:12.keep millions of pounds in tax receipts. Critics said the

:02:13. > :02:27.incentives amounted to bribes. An unlikely front line in the battle

:02:28. > :02:31.over fracking. Today, protesters climbed on tankers heading for a

:02:32. > :02:40.drilling site, leading to a stand-off with police. Fracking is a

:02:41. > :02:43.danger to human health and the environment. The risks are far too

:02:44. > :02:49.great. They far outweigh any benefits we may get. We don't

:02:50. > :02:53.believe we will get any benefits. The Prime Minister disagrees. He was

:02:54. > :02:58.visiting an onshore production site in Lincolnshire, near to where the

:02:59. > :03:04.French oil giant Total plans to invest ?30 million looking for shale

:03:05. > :03:08.gas. Shale is important for our country, it could bring ?3 billion

:03:09. > :03:13.of investment, give us cheaper energy for the future and increase

:03:14. > :03:16.our energy security. I want us to get on board this change that is

:03:17. > :03:21.doing so much good and bringing some which benefit to North America. I

:03:22. > :03:25.want others to benefit here as well. Large swathes of the UK have already

:03:26. > :03:28.been opened up for energy exploration. It is these blocks that

:03:29. > :03:33.are shaded in red. The government is considering significantly expanding

:03:34. > :03:38.the search to, potentially, more than half of the UK. To get local

:03:39. > :03:42.councils on board, they will be offered 100% of the business rates

:03:43. > :03:47.from a fracking site, potentially worth up to ?1.7 million a year.

:03:48. > :03:54.Communities will also get ?100,000 for every well and 1% of the revenue

:03:55. > :03:59.when a site goes into full production. But we'll all of that be

:04:00. > :04:05.enough? We need to see a fair share. The Treasury is going to make

:04:06. > :04:10.about 53% in tax out of future oil operations. They are already giving

:04:11. > :04:13.big incentives to fracking operators. That's all fine. But

:04:14. > :04:18.local communities, not local councils, have to see a fair share.

:04:19. > :04:22.Fracking takes place thousands of metres underground. Water, sand and

:04:23. > :04:27.chemicals are injected in two shale rock, unlocking gas trapped for

:04:28. > :04:33.millions of years. It has revolutionised the market in the US,

:04:34. > :04:37.causing prices to plummet. The Government says the same could

:04:38. > :04:40.happen here. Some in the fracking industry are unconvinced. It would

:04:41. > :04:46.have to be an enormous amount of gas production, the only way to get

:04:47. > :04:51.lower gas prices, all other things being equal, gas has to compete with

:04:52. > :04:56.gas. That means there has to be a surplus. It would be possible, not

:04:57. > :05:02.something I'm planning on at the moment. What the Government is

:05:03. > :05:04.planning on is that 20-40 wells will be drilled over the next couple of

:05:05. > :05:11.years. But whether this latest incentive, or, as some have called

:05:12. > :05:16.it, a bride, will kick-start fracking is far from clear.

:05:17. > :05:19.Nick Robinson is with me. It's quite clear that plenty of people have

:05:20. > :05:23.real concerns about this technology and what it entails. What is the

:05:24. > :05:27.Prime Minister's thinking? I think he's decided to go through the

:05:28. > :05:35.political pain barrier, to resist the local campaigners, who now

:05:36. > :05:39.include the Council in the Chancellor's -- and Mr's own

:05:40. > :05:42.constituency. They have decided they don't want fracking. The Prime

:05:43. > :05:45.Minister also resist the green campaigners saying, why are you

:05:46. > :05:51.turning your back on wind and solar? Why, the cause they think the

:05:52. > :05:56.attentional gains dwarfed the political downsides. There is that

:05:57. > :06:00.potential big gain in terms of jobs, potentially cheap energy. But also,

:06:01. > :06:04.really, the security of supply, the certainty that we have our own

:06:05. > :06:08.energy supplies. Above all, this is part of the political battle over

:06:09. > :06:12.the economy. The Prime Minister, at the beginning of every week, once to

:06:13. > :06:17.say I have a long-term plan for the economy. Ed Miliband will try to

:06:18. > :06:21.answer that with his own long-term plan on Thursday. In the Telegraph

:06:22. > :06:26.he says the middle-class is getting poorer and smaller, and he wants to

:06:27. > :06:28.reverse both. By the way, BBC News online has a lot more for you,

:06:29. > :06:37.background analysis. The Treasury has declared that it

:06:38. > :06:39.will, in all circumstances, take responsibility for all UK Government

:06:40. > :06:44.debt should Scotland vote for independence in September. The move

:06:45. > :06:47.was aimed at removing the risk of default resulting from any dispute

:06:48. > :06:50.about Scotland's share of the debt and giving reassurance to the

:06:51. > :06:53.financial markets. Supporters of Scottish independence say their

:06:54. > :06:54.campaign has been boosted by the Treasury's promise, as our business

:06:55. > :07:03.editor Robert Peston reports. The United Kingdom - in the red, or

:07:04. > :07:08.at least our Government is, to the tune of ?1.4 trillion. But what

:07:09. > :07:11.would happen to that debt if Scotland vote for independence?

:07:12. > :07:15.Well, the Treasury said today that Scotland would be under no legal

:07:16. > :07:20.obligation to take on any of the huge debt. So, why has the Treasury

:07:21. > :07:23.said it will continue to stand behind all of the UK's enormous

:07:24. > :07:27.debts, even if Scotland were to break away? Well, it's because

:07:28. > :07:30.investors were uncertain who would be truly liable and there was a

:07:31. > :07:33.danger that, in the absence of certainty, the British Government

:07:34. > :07:40.could end up paying a higher rate of interest. The last thing we want is

:07:41. > :07:44.uncertainty to cause taxpayers in every part of the Unitied kingdom to

:07:45. > :07:51.have to pay a kind of separation surcharge on our debt in advance of

:07:52. > :07:54.this referendum. But here's the funny thing. The Scottish National

:07:55. > :07:56.Party, and Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond, insist Scotland will

:07:57. > :08:03.take on some of those British liabilities. Despite the fact we've

:08:04. > :08:06.no legal obligation, because they claim they're the continuing state,

:08:07. > :08:09.we're prepared to take a share of liability, to pay a share of the

:08:10. > :08:14.debt that has been built up by Alistair Darling and George Osborne

:08:15. > :08:17.in terms of the financing of it. In return, of course, for the proper

:08:18. > :08:21.share of the assets to the countries. The assets Alex Salmond

:08:22. > :08:26.is talking about include this, North Sea oil, which he wants for

:08:27. > :08:29.Scotland. And, because he wants a separate Scotland to keep the pound,

:08:30. > :08:32.he also wants to negotiate some influence over how the Bank of

:08:33. > :08:39.England said the price of money - interest rates. So, how much of the

:08:40. > :08:42.UK's debt might Scotland take on? Well, an amount equal to 55% of

:08:43. > :08:44.Scotland's income, or GDP, says a Scottish Government White Paper if

:08:45. > :08:52.it's determined by Scotland's contribution to public finances. And

:08:53. > :08:54.it would be 75% of Scottish GDP of the calculation were made on

:08:55. > :08:59.Scotland's share of the UK's population. But, in both cases,

:09:00. > :09:06.Scotland's debts would be lower than the 80% of GDP which is the official

:09:07. > :09:09.forecast for the UK's debt. And, of course, a separate Scotland would

:09:10. > :09:15.have to borrow new money from managers of huge funds, like this

:09:16. > :09:18.bloke, to pay for public services. Do you think a Scottish Government

:09:19. > :09:22.could borrow at the same low interest rates as the British

:09:23. > :09:25.government currently pays? Well, there's a lot of uncertainty around

:09:26. > :09:28.that because we don't know what assets they'd get. But, broadly

:09:29. > :09:31.speaking, I think we should expect them to pay a higher rate of

:09:32. > :09:34.interest on their borrowing than the UK Government, simply because

:09:35. > :09:36.they're a new borrower and the market would demand a higher

:09:37. > :09:41.interest rate for the uncertainty of the new borrower. That question,

:09:42. > :09:44.what price investors would charge Scotland for funds, will be red-hot

:09:45. > :09:47.in the referendum campaigns, since it'll also have a strong bearing on

:09:48. > :09:54.what Scottish businesses and people would pay to borrow. Robert Preston,

:09:55. > :10:00.BBC News. The United Kingdom's biggest ever

:10:01. > :10:03.inquiry into child abuse has opened in Northern Ireland. Its goal is to

:10:04. > :10:06.decide whether there was institutional abuse at homes run by

:10:07. > :10:10.the state, church or voluntary organisations. The inquiry is

:10:11. > :10:17.looking into allegations of abuse over a period of 70 years, from 1922

:10:18. > :10:20.to 1995. More than 300 people are expected to give evidence over the

:10:21. > :10:25.coming two years. In all, 13 institutions are under

:10:26. > :10:26.investigation. Nick Higham reports from Banbridge in County Down, where

:10:27. > :10:37.the hearing is taking place. Happy children, welfare and cared

:10:38. > :10:43.for in a wholesome environment. That was the public image children's

:10:44. > :10:46.homes across Britain and Ireland sought to project. The reality will

:10:47. > :10:51.sometimes very different. This one, filmed in the UK in the 1950s, was,

:10:52. > :10:59.like many, run by a religious order, in this case The Sisters of

:11:00. > :11:03.Nazareth. Kate Walmsley was taken into care. In this care home, she

:11:04. > :11:07.wet the bed and was publicly punished for it. At confession, she

:11:08. > :11:14.was singled out for sexual abuse by a priest. When she reacted, she was

:11:15. > :11:18.branded a delinquent. I was an abused child. I was not a

:11:19. > :11:25.delinquent. I was a child, crying for help. I was a hurt a child, you

:11:26. > :11:31.know? I just needed someone to ask me, why was I not happy? Today, the

:11:32. > :11:35.inquiry chairman said some victims of abuse had waited years to tell

:11:36. > :11:43.their stories. The inquiry's council quoted Nelson Mandela. There can be

:11:44. > :11:47.no keener dedication of a society's cell and the way that it treats its

:11:48. > :11:52.children. By examining vulnerable children living in children's homes

:11:53. > :11:56.in Northern Ireland between 1922 and 1985 were treated, this inquiry will

:11:57. > :12:00.essentially examine the soul of Northern Irish society over that

:12:01. > :12:05.period. Over the next 18 months, the inquiry team sitting at this former

:12:06. > :12:11.courthouse in the small town of Banbridge will hear often harrowing

:12:12. > :12:14.accounts of childhood is a raft of affection and scarred by cruelty,

:12:15. > :12:19.physical and psychological abuse, and sometimes sexual abuse as well.

:12:20. > :12:24.At the inquiry today, Margaret McGuckin, one of the campaigners who

:12:25. > :12:28.fought to set it up. She was a victim herself, taken into care when

:12:29. > :12:32.she was three, separated from her brothers and sisters. She described

:12:33. > :12:37.a childhood of sadness and ill-treatment. Bath-time was an

:12:38. > :12:43.awful ritual, to be scrubbed, roasting, scolding, hot water over

:12:44. > :12:50.your head, ducked down into a steel basin, screaming out for help and

:12:51. > :12:54.shivering. The inquiry will look at abuse and institutions run by the

:12:55. > :12:57.Church, charities and the state. Campaigners want official

:12:58. > :12:59.recognition of what they suffered and for those still living who

:13:00. > :13:04.committed the abuse to face criminal charges.

:13:05. > :13:06.In France it's being reported that Valerie Trierweiler, the partner of

:13:07. > :13:09.President Hollande, may stay in hospital for at least a week. She

:13:10. > :13:12.was admitted on Friday after being told of allegations that the

:13:13. > :13:15.President was having an affair with an actress. Mr Hollande, who's

:13:16. > :13:18.already the most unpopular President in the history of the Fifth

:13:19. > :13:24.Republic, is due to make a major speech tomorrow. But he is

:13:25. > :13:31.struggling to contain the crisis around his private life. This report

:13:32. > :13:37.does contain flash photography. President Hol hall's partner, first

:13:38. > :13:39.-- President Hollande's partner, Valerie Trierweiler, remains in

:13:40. > :13:42.hospital and may stay there for several days. She went for treatment

:13:43. > :13:46.after a French magazine indicated the president had a new girlfriend.

:13:47. > :13:51.Still a majority of French people see this as a private matter. I

:13:52. > :13:57.personally don't care if he has a wife or if he has two or three

:13:58. > :14:02.wives. That's not my problem. Every president has a life and love

:14:03. > :14:07.affairs. So no matter for me. The president has deplored the invasion

:14:08. > :14:18.of his privacy but has not clarified the nature of his relationship,

:14:19. > :14:21.neither has Julie Gayet, the actress he visited.

:14:22. > :14:26.TRANSLATION: I think the private life is a private affair. It is

:14:27. > :14:31.something we have preserved in France. But questions are mounting.

:14:32. > :14:34.The apartment which the president visited was rented by a friend of

:14:35. > :14:38.the actress with reported links to criminals. As regards the First

:14:39. > :14:46.Lady, even the president's allies say his relationship will have to be

:14:47. > :14:51.clarified. If something has to be announced on the life of the family

:14:52. > :14:55.of Mr Hollande, I'm sure that there will be some information given in

:14:56. > :14:59.the next days. Amidst all of this, President Hollande tomorrow is due

:15:00. > :15:04.to hold his first press conference of the new year. Many saw that as an

:15:05. > :15:10.opportunity to relaunch his troubled presidency and to do that, he has to

:15:11. > :15:15.address the problems of the economy - low growth, high unemployment. To

:15:16. > :15:20.achieve progress there, much depends upon his credibility. There have

:15:21. > :15:25.been frequent protests about the economy. It was the turn of taxi

:15:26. > :15:29.drivers to block roads today, among their complaints - higher taxes. And

:15:30. > :15:39.when we asked what they thought of the president, we got this response:

:15:40. > :15:43.LAUGHTER The president's task tomorrow is to

:15:44. > :15:46.explain how he will revive the economy to a sceptical and

:15:47. > :15:53.frustrated public. It will be a decisive moment for his presidency.

:15:54. > :15:56.Tonight, he is preparing inside the Elysee Palace. The risk is that few

:15:57. > :16:03.will listen to him on the economy until he clarifies his personal

:16:04. > :16:06.life. The interim president of the Central

:16:07. > :16:09.African Republic has called for an end to the sectarian violence that's

:16:10. > :16:14.claimed at least a thousand lives over the past month. The Republic's

:16:15. > :16:17.first Muslim president resigned last week and fled the country. In the

:16:18. > :16:20.days that followed, there's been less violence between Muslim and

:16:21. > :16:26.Christian groups, but both accuse each other of carrying out

:16:27. > :16:29.reprisals. Paul wood has spoken to a man accused of carrying out one of

:16:30. > :16:33.the worst attacks, an act of cannibalism. There are graphic and

:16:34. > :16:39.disturbing images and details in Paul's report.

:16:40. > :16:43.The winners in this conflict, delirious with victory. The

:16:44. > :16:51.Christians were victims, now they're on top. It's a dangerous time to be

:16:52. > :16:59.Muslim. A charred and dismembered body is dragged through the streets.

:17:00. > :17:08.Christians have just killed a Muslim passer-by. This man was at the head

:17:09. > :17:13.of the mob. He was in a blind fury that day. Muslims killed his

:17:14. > :17:16.pregnant wife, his sister-in-law, her baby, he tells me. They broke

:17:17. > :17:34.down the door and cut the baby in half. I promised I'd get my revenge.

:17:35. > :17:38.Revenge was an act of cannibalism. TRANSLATION: First he stabbed his

:17:39. > :17:43.victim. You are Muslim, Muslim, Muslim, he said. I poured petrol

:17:44. > :17:50.over him. I burned him. I ate his leg right down to the white bone.

:17:51. > :18:01.The victim was just passing through on a bus. Most Christians are

:18:02. > :18:07.horrified, but resigned. "No-one tried to help him" say these

:18:08. > :18:13.eyewitnesses. "Everyone's so angry with the Muslims. No way anyone was

:18:14. > :18:17.going to intervene." This happened at 2pm, when the

:18:18. > :18:22.streets were crowded with people just like you see today. Everyone

:18:23. > :18:26.we've spoken to is still at a loss to know what to make of it. Was it

:18:27. > :18:32.the act of a madman, was it somebody who'd been pushed by sectarian

:18:33. > :18:38.hatred? Was this explained, perhaps, by traditional beliefs in magic and

:18:39. > :18:45.sorcery? These fighters are Christians, but they also believe in

:18:46. > :18:50.magic. Their amulets contain soil from their ancestors' graves. Some

:18:51. > :18:58.carry the flesh of enemies they've killed. These charms are a delicate

:18:59. > :19:11.subject, not often discussed with outsiders. "We are bullet-proof",

:19:12. > :19:15.says the commander. He went further, perhaps his crime resulted from his

:19:16. > :19:24.own demons, but to some Christians, he's a hero. That doesn't bode well

:19:25. > :19:30.for this country's future. In Jerusalem hundreds of foreign

:19:31. > :19:34.ignitaries, including Tony Blair and the US vice-president, Joe Biden,

:19:35. > :19:38.have attended a national memorial service for Ariel Sharon, the former

:19:39. > :19:42.Israeli Prime Minister. He died on Saturday, at the age of 85, having

:19:43. > :19:47.been in a coma for the past eight years. Mr Sharon was purried at his

:19:48. > :19:53.family farm, close to the Gaza Strip. Our Middle East editor,

:19:54. > :19:58.Jermey Bowen, sent this report. With prayers and tributes outside

:19:59. > :20:02.its Parliament, Israel and its friends, said a final farewell to

:20:03. > :20:14.Ariel Sharon, eight years to the month after a stroke removed him

:20:15. > :20:20.from power. Net Benjamin Netaiyahu said he would go down in history as

:20:21. > :20:24.one of their great military leaders. To Ariel Sharon's sons and

:20:25. > :20:29.grandchildren, Joe Biden, the US vice-president, said Sharon's

:20:30. > :20:33.passing also felt like a death in the family to many Americans, even

:20:34. > :20:38.though, at times, he'd had profound differences with American leaders.

:20:39. > :20:42.From my observation, he was a complex man, but to understand him

:20:43. > :20:50.better, I think it's important history will judge, he also lived in

:20:51. > :20:54.complex times. In a very complex neighbourhood. The coffin was taken

:20:55. > :20:59.away to be buried at the Sharon family farm in southern Israel.

:21:00. > :21:03.Ariel Sharon is as controversial in death as he was in life. For many

:21:04. > :21:08.Israelis it was his military qualities, his strength and his

:21:09. > :21:14.capacity for ruthlessness which made him a desirable Prime Minister at

:23:55. > :23:58.to give more weight to the theme and tone of a film. In response to a

:24:23. > :24:27.it's suitable for four years. But it contained the word "crap". Which

:24:28. > :24:32.caused some parents to complain and the BBFC to take a new approach to

:24:33. > :24:37.language. Hence forth there will be pretty much a zero tolerance when it

:24:38. > :24:42.comes to U rated films and rude words. Children cop yip a lot of

:24:43. > :24:45.what they learn, so they copy the bad language. That can be

:24:46. > :24:52.embarrassing to the parents if they repeat the language to the vicar or

:24:53. > :24:57.something like that. The BBFC also will pay more attention to how films

:24:58. > :25:01.containing films of horror, gore, sex and self-harming are treated. It

:25:02. > :25:04.gave Black Swan, for example, a 15 rating, but might take a different

:25:05. > :25:09.approach to such a film in the future, instead allocating 18

:25:10. > :25:17.classification to signal that it's not a sweet film about ballet, but a

:25:18. > :25:22.dark and graphic tale of paranoia. Strong visual detail of violence or

:25:23. > :25:27.its aftermath is a cause for parental concern. A change the

:25:28. > :25:30.producers of the hunger games discovered recently. It had to drop

:25:31. > :25:35.some screens in order to receive a 12 A rating. They're looking at the

:25:36. > :25:39.context. Film, the wider meaning of the film, the horror in the film,

:25:40. > :25:42.the creepiness, the disturbing sexualisation. They are looking at

:25:43. > :25:47.that as a whole. That's very important to see the film as a whole

:25:48. > :25:51.and not a set of buzz words or swear words. Film isn't the only area

:25:52. > :25:55.where changes are happening. The Government is poised to alter the

:26:01. > :26:04.aimed at 12 to 15-year-olds to apply for BBFC rating. Online videos such

:26:05. > :26:08.as Miley Cyrus' controversial Wrecking Ball, which has been
