:00:27. > :00:29.going to fight this until the very end, and it is not right and it is
:00:30. > :00:31.not fair. Following the reinstatement of
:00:32. > :00:39.guilty verdicts, Meredith Kercher's family say Knox should be
:00:40. > :00:46.extradited. I think we are still on the journey to the truth, and it may
:00:47. > :00:47.be the fact that we don't ever really know what happened that
:00:48. > :00:50.night. This evening Knox's former boyfriend
:00:51. > :00:57.Raffaele Sollecito denies trying to flee Italy and again protests his

:02:09. > :02:11.The family of the murdered British student Meredith Kercher say they
:02:12. > :02:17.may never know what happened to her when she died in Italy in 2007. They
:02:18. > :02:20.were speaking after Italian judges reinstated the guilty verdict
:02:21. > :02:25.against Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito. Meredith Kercher's sister
:02:26. > :02:28.says her family is still on what she called "a journey for the truth"
:02:29. > :02:34.about what really went on in Perugia. Today, Amanda Knox said she
:02:35. > :02:39.will fight any attempt to extradite her from the United States "until
:02:40. > :02:42.the very end". Raffaele Sollecito, Knox's boyfriend at the time of the
:02:43. > :02:48.murder, was today banned from leaving Italy after being arrested
:02:49. > :02:50.by police close to the border. Our correspondent Luisa Baldini has the
:02:51. > :03:00.story. Her report contains some flashing images.
:03:01. > :03:07.How do you feel about the guilty verdict? Refusing to show her face,
:03:08. > :03:10.let alone answer questions, Amanda Knox left her mother's house
:03:11. > :03:14.allowing the convictions, but by this morning she was at TV studios
:03:15. > :03:21.in New York, where she gave an emotional but defiant interview. I
:03:22. > :03:30.will never go willingly back to the place where I... I am going to fight
:03:31. > :03:35.this until the very end, and it's not right, and it's not fair. And
:03:36. > :03:43.I'm going to do everything I can. Granted, I need a lot of help. I
:03:44. > :03:47.can't do this on my own. But it is in Italy that she stands accused of
:03:48. > :03:50.murdering her flatmate, Meredith Kercher. It was shortly before the
:03:51. > :03:55.death that Amanda and Raffaele Sollecito started dating. Although
:03:56. > :04:00.he has been at some court hearings, he was not there for the verdicts,
:04:01. > :04:02.and the latest pictures show him leaving a police station in northern
:04:03. > :04:08.Italy near the border with Austria today. Police say they detained him
:04:09. > :04:15.and confiscated his passport. It is reported he may have been trying to
:04:16. > :04:25.flee. As soon as I got the news that there was a guilty verdict, they
:04:26. > :04:29.took my passport and all my documents. I came immediately back.
:04:30. > :04:33.I will fight until the end, also because we proved and we showed in
:04:34. > :04:39.many ways that I had nothing to do with this murder. Meredith's family
:04:40. > :04:46.welcomed the guilty verdict but accepted it as another stage in a
:04:47. > :04:50.long process. We are still on the journey to the truth. And it may be
:04:51. > :04:55.the fact that we don't ever really know what happened that night, which
:04:56. > :05:00.is obviously something that we will have to come to terms with. The
:05:01. > :05:05.verdicts reinstate the original convictions, based on the first
:05:06. > :05:09.trial in 2009. So what was the main evidence against Amanda Knox and
:05:10. > :05:14.Raffaele Sollecito? The prosecution said the DNA of both Amanda and
:05:15. > :05:18.Meredith was on the knife believed to be the murder weapon, and
:05:19. > :05:23.Raffaele Sollecito's DNA was on the Iraqi of Meredith Kercher. Although
:05:24. > :05:28.that evidence was contested. Their behaviour was question. When Amanda
:05:29. > :05:32.and Raffaele Sollecito were seen kissing hours after the body was
:05:33. > :05:37.found, it was deemed suspicious. And Amanda changed her story, first
:05:38. > :05:40.saying she was in the house but a local barkeeper murdered Meredith.
:05:41. > :05:46.Then she said she was with Raffaele Sollecito. The prosecution always
:05:47. > :05:49.claimed that Amanda Knox, Raffaele Sollecito and a third man, Rudy
:05:50. > :05:54.Guede, still in prison for the crime, were involved in a sex game
:05:55. > :05:58.which went wrong. After an appeal and acquittal in 2011, Amanda
:05:59. > :06:01.returns to Seattle. Although she will want to fight extradition,
:06:02. > :06:07.there is a treaty between Italy and America. It is not a retrial. She
:06:08. > :06:10.will not be able to put in evidence. She would have to argue that the
:06:11. > :06:18.extradition request was inappropriate. And I think that is a
:06:19. > :06:21.significant challenge for her. In 90 days, the judge will publish a
:06:22. > :06:26.report giving his reasons for the convictions and then Amanda Knox and
:06:27. > :06:30.Raffaele Sollecito will almost certainly appeal. Finding definitive
:06:31. > :06:34.justice for Meredith Kercher is still some way off. The shrine Our
:06:35. > :06:36.North America correspondent Nick Bryant is at the State Department in
:06:37. > :06:39.Washington. Nick, what chance that the US legal
:06:40. > :06:52.system will act to deport Amanda Knox?
:06:53. > :06:58.Many Americans regard the Italian justice system as unfair, medieval
:06:59. > :07:02.and chaotic. Left to the American court of public opinion, Amanda Knox
:07:03. > :07:06.would never return to Italy. But this will end up in a real court, if
:07:07. > :07:11.the extradition process goes forwards, and there, her lawyers
:07:12. > :07:16.will try to block it. If they fail, the case will return here to the US
:07:17. > :07:20.State Department. Legal considerations will be in play, but
:07:21. > :07:24.also political and diplomatic factors. She has powerful backers on
:07:25. > :07:29.Capitol Hill, public opinion is very much behind her, but would America
:07:30. > :07:34.want to anger Italy, a very close ally? And even if the State
:07:35. > :07:38.Department says that she has to go home, there is one final legal
:07:39. > :07:42.appeal, one final legal card her lawyers could play, so this is a
:07:43. > :07:48.process that could brag on for many years in America, and I spoke to one
:07:49. > :07:53.legal expert earlier who said it is a real 50-50.
:07:54. > :07:56.The Met Office is warning of yet more flooding this weekend, as a
:07:57. > :08:01.band of heavy rain sweeps across the UK. Nine severe flood warnings are
:08:02. > :08:05.in place, with fears that coastal flood defences and sea walls could
:08:06. > :08:09.be breached. In Aberystwyth, hundreds of people have been moved
:08:10. > :08:12.out of their seafront homes. Tonight, David Cameron said it was
:08:13. > :08:17."unacceptable" that people on the Somerset Levels had had to live
:08:18. > :08:27.amongst the flooding for four weeks. From the village of Burrowbridge on
:08:28. > :08:33.the Somerset Levels, here's Jon Kay. Another anxious night on the
:08:34. > :08:37.Somerset Levels. For these already flooded villages, every millimetre
:08:38. > :08:42.of new rain is a worry, and it is concerning the politicians, too.
:08:43. > :08:47.They have been criticised this week for being slow to help stranded
:08:48. > :08:50.communities. And in tomorrow's Western daily press, the Prime
:08:51. > :08:55.Minister writes that it is not accept the ball for people to have
:08:56. > :09:01.to live like this. He says he is not ruling out any option to get the
:09:02. > :09:04.problem sorted. The flooded farm on the front page was glad to hear
:09:05. > :09:11.that, but to night he has more pressing concerns. We could see up
:09:12. > :09:18.to 30 millimetres. Just what we don't need. His land is already 90%
:09:19. > :09:25.underwater, and he fears the weekend rain will make things even worse.
:09:26. > :09:30.Stomach churning. You just think, last time we had 30 millimetres of
:09:31. > :09:36.rain on the hills, it rose up 8.5 inches. You can see how close it is
:09:37. > :09:41.to the buildings, to the house. Right on cue, the next deluge
:09:42. > :09:45.arrived. Over the last couple of days, the level of the water has
:09:46. > :09:49.been slowly dropping but this afternoon we have got more heavy
:09:50. > :09:58.rain, the wind is going in the hard, and look. -- the wind is blowing
:09:59. > :10:02.hard. Large areas of the UK are set to get another pasting this weekend
:10:03. > :10:06.but the authorities insist they are ready. Coastal communities like
:10:07. > :10:12.Aberystwyth are on high alert for wind, rain and some very high tides.
:10:13. > :10:15.Dozens of Britain's private schools are facing a sharp rise in legal
:10:16. > :10:21.claims for sexual abuse allegations dating back decades. Now one legal
:10:22. > :10:23.firm has told the BBC schools should pay victims American-style financial
:10:24. > :10:31.damages running into hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of
:10:32. > :10:35.pounds. Such pay-outs could threaten the future of some independent
:10:36. > :10:42.schools. Our Home Editor, Mark Easton, has this special report.
:10:43. > :10:49.They're two leaders from very different political
:10:50. > :10:53.Britain's public schools, for many young boys institutions that have
:10:54. > :10:56.been the making of them, but for some the breaking of them. We now
:10:57. > :10:59.know that hundreds of children suffered lifelong damage from sexual
:11:00. > :11:06.abuse by staff at some of the country's most prestigious private
:11:07. > :11:08.schools. Now, a British-American law firm is seeking US style
:11:09. > :11:14.compensation pay-outs from UK courts, demanding damages in some
:11:15. > :11:18.cases of over ?1 million. The message, I think, to people who do
:11:19. > :11:23.bad things is to go to Great Britain because you can do whatever you want
:11:24. > :11:27.with our children, and if you are caught and have to pay for it, you
:11:28. > :11:30.will pay a very small price. In America if you do this and get
:11:31. > :11:33.caught, it's going to hurt. If people don't pay real money to stop
:11:34. > :11:39.the problem, the problem is not going to end. As a teenager at St
:11:40. > :11:45.Bede's College, Catholic boarding school in Manchester in the late
:11:46. > :11:49.1950s and early 1960s, Rick Merrin was repeatedly and severely abused
:11:50. > :11:53.by the headmaster, Monsignor Thomas Duggan, and two other priests. Some
:11:54. > :11:58.may find his recollection of what happened on one particular night
:11:59. > :12:15.sterling. I woke up and I was face down. And he was sodomising me.
:12:16. > :12:23.Which... Well, I don't need to explain what that did to me. From
:12:24. > :12:27.top of the class to a life of disappointment, in work and
:12:28. > :12:29.relationships. A psychiatric report on Rick concludes that his abusers
:12:30. > :12:35.stole the golden future he should have had. He is among hundreds of
:12:36. > :12:40.public schoolboys who have gone to lawyers seeking damages for abuse
:12:41. > :12:46.often committed decades ago. In 2011, another Saint Bede 's teacher,
:12:47. > :12:51.Father William Green, admitted 27 sexual assaults on boys in the
:12:52. > :12:56.1970s. With the possibility of personally facing damages claims,
:12:57. > :12:59.seven governors at St Bede's resigned. It has not been seen in
:13:00. > :13:06.child abuse cases before but legal experts say courts could order
:13:07. > :13:09.substantial compensation. There might be a considerable financial
:13:10. > :13:13.settlement at the end of this. What motivates you to do it? Is it the
:13:14. > :13:19.money? Nothing can make up for what happened to me at school and the
:13:20. > :13:23.impact it has had on my life. If it comes to some form of financial
:13:24. > :13:29.settlement, it would be some small way of making up for it. Only last
:13:30. > :13:34.November, inspectors rated Saint reads child protection policy is
:13:35. > :13:36.unsatisfactory, and the college, now eight coeducational Catholic Day
:13:37. > :13:41.School, has promised to review safeguarding policies, insisting St
:13:42. > :13:46.Bede's is a safe and secure environment. Public revulsion at the
:13:47. > :13:49.perpetrators and sympathy towards the victims has led many people to
:13:50. > :13:53.find the confidence to tell their stories. Now, with lawyers
:13:54. > :13:59.considering punitive damages for historical abuse, the very survival
:14:00. > :14:04.of some of the country's oldest and most established institutions could
:14:05. > :14:08.be under threat. I can tell you that in the 1970s and 1980s
:14:09. > :14:15.particularly, the words child protection work never really used.
:14:16. > :14:19.The culture has completely changed. I think it is very unfair on the
:14:20. > :14:24.teachers and parents of children in those schools, and the children
:14:25. > :14:26.themselves, if a school was to be forced to close as a result of
:14:27. > :14:34.something which happened decades ago. The prospect of American-style
:14:35. > :14:38.court pay-outs toppling ancient educational institutions will
:14:39. > :14:42.outrage some. Others will protest that only by demanding significant
:14:43. > :14:55.compensation can society properly value the life of a child. They are
:14:56. > :14:59.two leaders from different political backgrounds, but when David Cameron
:15:00. > :15:03.hosted the French president for a summit today, the emphasis was meant
:15:04. > :15:07.to be on cooperation. There was some agreement with announcements about
:15:08. > :15:11.defence, energy and space programmes. The divisions were
:15:12. > :15:18.quickly exposed around the future of Europe. David Cameron wants reform
:15:19. > :15:21.with a renegotiated EU treaty by 2017. Francoise Hollande is less
:15:22. > :15:28.keen, describing the subject is not a priority. And this afternoon, a
:15:29. > :15:32.bill to legally underpinned David Cameron's pledge to give voters an
:15:33. > :15:40.in or out referendum was killed off in the House of Lords. This report
:15:41. > :15:44.contains flash photography. The French president arrived alone at a
:15:45. > :15:47.windy airbase near Oxford. A business like a venue for a
:15:48. > :15:53.businesslike summit very much without spouses. Their job today was
:15:54. > :15:59.to repair a relationship worn thin by diplomatic spats and differences
:16:00. > :16:04.over policy that the Prime Minister acknowledged. Of course we are not
:16:05. > :16:07.going to agree about everything, he is a French socialist and I am a
:16:08. > :16:12.British Conservative and it would be odd if we agreed about everything.
:16:13. > :16:18.So they agreed where they could, above all on defence, with plans on
:16:19. > :16:24.exercises, combat drones and anti-ship missiles. And more
:16:25. > :16:28.vehicles to support operations in Afghanistan. But over lunch at a pub
:16:29. > :16:32.nearby, they discussed their fundamental disagreements over
:16:33. > :16:38.Europe. Mr Cameron wants Britain's relationship with the EU to change.
:16:39. > :16:44.We want to see those changes, one want to see a renegotiation -- we
:16:45. > :16:47.want. That will involve elements of treaty change, and then there will
:16:48. > :16:55.be a referendum in Britain before the end of 2017 that isn't in or out
:16:56. > :16:58.referendum. Back in London are built design to enshrine the referendum in
:16:59. > :17:01.law was being killed off by Labour and Liberal Democrat peers, but
:17:02. > :17:04.here, even the promise of a referendum was worrying the French
:17:05. > :17:09.president who fears that treaty change could force him to hold a
:17:10. > :17:12.referendum as well. If there are going to be amendments to the text
:17:13. > :17:15.we don't feel that for the time being they are urgent. We think
:17:16. > :17:21.about revising the treaty is not a priority. We can't just expect to
:17:22. > :17:27.follow the example of one country in Europe. David Cameron's problem is
:17:28. > :17:32.that if he's going to achieve reform in Europe he needs allies, for now,
:17:33. > :17:37.France is not one. Defence deals might help, but questions like this
:17:38. > :17:41.probably won't. Do you think your private life has made France an
:17:42. > :17:45.international joke? Are you still having an affair with Julie Gayet,
:17:46. > :17:52.and do you think -- wish she was here? I'm afraid that I declined to
:17:53. > :17:55.answer. A sharp question asked and a few deals signed, and a long
:17:56. > :17:56.conversation between two men with very different views about the
:17:57. > :18:06.future of Europe. The United Nations envoy leading the
:18:07. > :18:10.Syrian peace talks in Geneva say they have made a modest beginning
:18:11. > :18:15.towards ending the conflict. Lakhdar Brahimi, speaking as the talks
:18:16. > :18:19.concluded, admitted progress had been slow. The Syrian Foreign
:18:20. > :18:22.Minister accused the opposition of a lack of seriousness in advance of
:18:23. > :18:25.the second round of talks which are due to begin next month. The Syrian
:18:26. > :18:28.opposition blamed the government for the failure to reach agreement
:18:29. > :18:33.during more than a week of negotiations. Almost one third of
:18:34. > :18:38.NHS trusts in England are forecasting that they will end the
:18:39. > :18:41.financial year in the red. Recently published board papers say the
:18:42. > :18:44.picture is worse among hospitals with nearly half predicting
:18:45. > :18:48.financial difficulties. Budget pressures might be partly due to
:18:49. > :18:52.hospitals hiring more nurses, but the Department of Health says the
:18:53. > :18:55.NHS is seeing more patients and carrying out more operations than
:18:56. > :19:01.ever. And also that most trusts are in a healthy financial position.
:19:02. > :19:05.Trade unions will no longer control one third of the votes in the Labour
:19:06. > :19:10.leadership elections under proposed changes which the party's leader, Ed
:19:11. > :19:13.Miliband, will announce tomorrow. The BBC has obtained details of the
:19:14. > :19:17.reforms which will give ordinary Labour Party supporters as well as
:19:18. > :19:22.party members more say about who leads them. This exclusive report
:19:23. > :19:26.from Ian Watson contains flash photography.
:19:27. > :19:33.He beat his brother to the Lader -- Labour leadership with the help of
:19:34. > :19:36.union votes, but now Ed Miliband is proposing the biggest changes to his
:19:37. > :19:41.party's relations with the trade unions in a generation. The current
:19:42. > :19:46.buys system for electing the party leader gives a third of the vote
:19:47. > :19:51.each to the union, then rank-and-file party members, then
:19:52. > :19:56.MPs and MEPs. Now Ed Miliband plans a simpler system. Union members will
:19:57. > :20:01.get a single vote, but for the first time they must explicitly agree to
:20:02. > :20:04.opt in as Labour supporters in order to participate. Current party
:20:05. > :20:10.members will also get one vote each, but in future they need to simply
:20:11. > :20:14.register their support for the party rather than join and will be
:20:15. > :20:18.therefore able to take part. MPs and MEPs will see a decrease in
:20:19. > :20:21.influence as they get one vote each, but MPs will have the sole
:20:22. > :20:25.power to nominate who can run for the leadership. These are the kind
:20:26. > :20:29.of reforms I've been arguing for ever since I was the leader of a
:20:30. > :20:34.trade union. I think this is absolutely the right way to go. We
:20:35. > :20:39.now have the ability for union members to make a conscious decision
:20:40. > :20:42.whether to pay the political levy, then make another conscious decision
:20:43. > :20:47.whether they want to be an associate purport up -- support of the Labour
:20:48. > :20:55.Party, and also we have a genuine one member system devote a leader.
:20:56. > :21:00.The changes were prompted by allegations of undue influence in
:21:01. > :21:02.Falkirk by the unions, and Ed Miliband will surely set out the
:21:03. > :21:06.full scale of the reforms. For years, Labour has been accused of
:21:07. > :21:09.being too close to the big union leaders. Critics wondered just how
:21:10. > :21:16.much of their influence really is being curtailed. While the
:21:17. > :21:19.leadership rules are changing, some long-standing traditions are
:21:20. > :21:22.untouched. The unions will still control 50% of the votes at the
:21:23. > :21:27.Labour conference and there will be no cap on donations. And some of the
:21:28. > :21:31.reforms could take five years to come into force. Critics on the left
:21:32. > :21:38.are questioning why Ed Miliband is even bothering to do this at all.
:21:39. > :21:42.It's not particularly desirable and there is nobody in my constituency
:21:43. > :21:46.coming to me in a time of economic crisis saying that they need a

:22:35. > :22:39.is to leave his role following the 5-0 Ashes whitewash in Australia. He
:22:40. > :22:42.held the job nearly five years and led England to three successive

:22:59. > :23:07.today the head coach, Andy Flower, paid the inevitable price. Appointed
:23:08. > :23:11.in 2009, Andy Flower was initially credited with transforming English
:23:12. > :23:15.cricket, but as a result -- as results dipped, he was accused of
:23:16. > :23:29.fostering an arrogant, joyless culture. In a statement he said:

:23:40. > :23:42.that is a concern. He has done an amazing job for a few years but I
:23:43. > :23:48.felt the players just looked a little bit robotic. So how will the

:23:52. > :23:57.England's burst global one-day trophy in 2010 -- the Andy Flower
:23:58. > :24:01.era. He led the team to three back-to-back Ashes wins, but this
:24:02. > :24:06.winter's 5-0 defeat left him vulnerable. Despite the disaster
:24:07. > :24:11.down under, Andy Flower said he wanted to carry on as head coach.
:24:12. > :24:17.But following a meeting here at Lord's yesterday, it became clear
:24:18. > :24:21.his position was untenable. Now a new man must attempt to rebuild
:24:22. > :24:25.England's battered team. Whoever that in -- whoever that is faces

:24:31. > :24:34.captain. And what next for the difficult but brilliant Kevin
:24:35. > :24:38.Pietersen? The decline of Andy Flower's England has been almost as
:24:39. > :24:40.rapid as the rise. More big changes may be needed before English cricket
:24:41. > :24:49.truly recovers. Final preparations are being made
:24:50. > :24:55.for the premiere of the 10th symphony by one of Britain's's most
:24:56. > :24:58.eminent composers, the master of the Queen 's music, Sir Peter Maxwell
:24:59. > :25:03.Davies. The piece orchestra, baritone soloist and choristers was

:25:20. > :25:23.Davies's 10th symphony, a new work by the 79-year-old composer written
:25:24. > :25:26.with some urgency while he was in hospital being treated for cancer,
:25:27. > :25:32.having been told by doctors he only had weeks to live. I very nearly
:25:33. > :25:37.went over. Very nearly went over the edge. It was hours away. And the
:25:38. > :25:47.doctors worked very hard and pulled me through that. And every morning
:25:48. > :25:53.when I was at that little table at seven in the morning, I was writing
:25:54. > :26:00.that symphony. The composition is based on the life and work of the
:26:01. > :26:04.17th century Italian artist, but it was not Renaissance Rome that came
:26:05. > :26:08.to the composer's mind, but hospital. It was funny, in rehearsal
:26:09. > :26:12.just now, they were doing this music which I had written. The actual
:26:13. > :26:18.sound, the physical sound, brought back the smell of anti-septic at the
:26:19. > :26:23.hospital. What continues to drive you? What do you still want to
:26:24. > :26:29.express? These days there is so much strife, so much war and so much
:26:30. > :26:36.destruction. To do something which is civilised in intent, and I hope a
:26:37. > :26:46.result, at the top end of what is possible in the civilisation, what a
:26:47. > :26:50.privilege? What a privilege. Last year Sir Peter Maxwell Davies was
:26:51. > :26:54.told he probably would not live to see 2014, but having done so, he is
:26:55. > :26:57.making the most of it what with this new symphony, more compositions in
