:00:55. > :00:59.been raised over the way Milly Dowler's family were cross-examined
:00:59. > :01:04.during the trial of her killer, Levi Bellfield. The Chief Constable
:01:04. > :01:06.of Surrey Police has called for changes to the justice system
:01:06. > :01:12.saying victims and witnesses need better protection during trials. He
:01:12. > :01:16.said he was upset and embarrassed by the way the Dowler family had
:01:16. > :01:21.been treated. Their daughter, her sister was
:01:21. > :01:25.murdered but when the man who killed Milly Dowler was put on
:01:25. > :01:30.trial the family found themselves in the spotlight. The way my
:01:30. > :01:39.parents were questioned can only be described as mental torture. It was,
:01:39. > :01:44.they said, a harrowing and brutal experience. 13-year-old Milly was
:01:44. > :01:49.abducted in 2002 but when her killer finally faced justice,
:01:49. > :01:54.Milly's family came under scrutiny, personal details were raked over in
:01:54. > :01:57.court and exposed. Today, the Chief Constable of Surrey Police, which
:01:57. > :02:03.investigated Milly's death, said the Dowlers' treatment in court is
:02:03. > :02:08.proof the system needs to change. For me, it went too far. I think
:02:08. > :02:11.all the legal commentators I have heard talking over the last 24
:02:11. > :02:14.hours saying this looks like the rules were probably applied
:02:14. > :02:19.properly. My response so that is we can't have a system where the rules
:02:19. > :02:23.are like that. Levi Bellfield will now spend the rest of his life in
:02:23. > :02:29.prison. But the Dowler family say too much consideration was given to
:02:29. > :02:35.him in court and too little to them. Yet lawyers argued changing the
:02:35. > :02:39.system may not be the answer. is relevant for the jury to listen
:02:39. > :02:43.to issues being put to a witness, then it is very, very dangerous to
:02:43. > :02:47.say well you can't ask those questions. You may end up with a
:02:47. > :02:52.trial that isn't fair. Surrey Police has been forced to apologise
:02:52. > :02:56.for its own mistakes made during its investigation into Milly
:02:56. > :03:01.Dowler's murder. But its Chief Constable says his criticism of the
:03:01. > :03:06.courts is not an attempt to deflect attention away from here, simply to
:03:06. > :03:14.show that a system that brought the Dowlers to despair is one in need
:03:14. > :03:17.of reform. The Labour Leader Ed Miliband has
:03:17. > :03:20.told his party it must be less inward-looking if it is going to
:03:20. > :03:25.win back power. In a speech to party activists in North Wales, he
:03:25. > :03:28.defended his plans to scrap elections to the Shadow Cabinet
:03:28. > :03:34.arguing it should be the leader that decides who is in the
:03:34. > :03:39.frontbench team. Can Ed Miliband make voters more
:03:39. > :03:44.likely to change the Government by changing the Labour Party? He
:03:44. > :03:48.thinks he can. Old Labour forgot about the public. New Labour forgot
:03:48. > :03:54.about the party. By the time we left office we had lost touch with
:03:54. > :03:58.both. So he's asking his party to accept new rules. He wants to scrap
:03:58. > :04:02.elections to the Shadow Cabinet so he can appoint his top team, to let
:04:02. > :04:05.community groups and charities speak at the party's conference,
:04:05. > :04:09.and to impose a Code of Conduct on councillors and MPs to keep them
:04:09. > :04:12.busy in their communities. One of the reasons we got some things
:04:12. > :04:16.wrong was because our party wasn't sufficiently connected to the
:04:16. > :04:21.public. So as well as getting the policies right, we have also got to
:04:21. > :04:28.be a party that is much more linked to ordinary people up-and-down this
:04:28. > :04:32.country. Labour's picking over what it thinks were the mistakes made by
:04:32. > :04:36.its last two leaders. But critics accuse the current man at the top
:04:36. > :04:40.of not making anything like the impact this pair made before they
:04:40. > :04:44.got into Government. We have important reforms going through to
:04:45. > :04:48.the benefits system, to banking regulation, to modernise the NHS. I
:04:48. > :04:51.don't think the public are bothered about how the Shadow Cabinet is
:04:51. > :04:56.elected. This kind of tinkering doesn't address the real problem
:04:56. > :05:00.which is that the unions chose Ed Miliband as leader over the
:05:00. > :05:04.ordinary Labour Party members and over the heads of Labour MPs.
:05:04. > :05:11.Miliband knows all his MPs are waiting to see if rewriting the
:05:11. > :05:16.party's rules can bring him any closer to power.
:05:16. > :05:20.A car bomber has targeted a hospital in Afghanistan killing 35
:05:20. > :05:24.people. A health official in the eastern Logar Province told the BBC
:05:24. > :05:28.that 53 others were hurt saying the death toll could have been higher
:05:28. > :05:32.because many bodies had been taken away.
:05:32. > :05:35.A British supplier of seeds has denied that its products are
:05:35. > :05:38.responsible for an outbreak of E- coli in France. The French Health
:05:38. > :05:42.Authority believes seeds from Thompson and Morgan in Ipswich
:05:42. > :05:47.might be the source. But the boss of the firm claims any
:05:47. > :05:51.contamination is most likely to have happened in France.
:05:51. > :05:56.The leisure centre in the suburbs of Bordeaux linked to another
:05:56. > :06:00.outbreak of E-coli. Seven of those who took seriously ill had attended
:06:00. > :06:05.a charity event here two weeks' ago at which they had been served cold
:06:05. > :06:10.food. TRANSLATION: The identified common
:06:10. > :06:13.food item were the sprouts which were germinated at the centre to
:06:13. > :06:17.decorate the food and particular soups. There were also other food
:06:17. > :06:23.items which were identified as having been sprinkled with the
:06:23. > :06:29.infamous sprouts. The garnish was rocket and mustard sprouts, grown
:06:29. > :06:32.from seedlings. TRANSLATION: These sprouts had been
:06:32. > :06:36.bought by the city of Begles and they were germinated by the parents
:06:36. > :06:40.of the children at the leisure centre. And the French government
:06:40. > :06:44.is now investigating whether it is the seeds supplied by a British
:06:44. > :06:51.company, Thompson and Morgan in Ipswich, that are ultimately to
:06:51. > :06:55.blame. The link is not definitively established but they have called on
:06:55. > :06:59.French retailers to withdraw the company's seeds as a precaution.
:06:59. > :07:03.The Food Standards Agency said tonight it is investigating and it
:07:03. > :07:06.advised people not to eat raw sprouted seeds. We sell literally
:07:06. > :07:12.hundreds of thousands of packets of these seeds throughout France,
:07:12. > :07:16.Europe and the UK every year. For such a small number of people to
:07:16. > :07:19.have been affected, it does suggest the problem is perhaps in the local
:07:19. > :07:23.area. Five of the patients admitted to hospital are now suffering
:07:23. > :07:27.severe kidney problems. Two of them are infected with a highly virulent
:07:27. > :07:30.strain similar to the one that killed over 40 people in Germany.
:07:30. > :07:35.Though as yet there is no evidence of a link.
:07:35. > :07:39.Here in Paris, the Health Ministry has set up a crisis centre and is
:07:39. > :07:42.encouraging people to report early any concerns they have. The
:07:42. > :07:50.investigation from here is critical. This deadly organism could still be
:07:50. > :07:53.in the food supply chain, viable and not yet contained.
:07:53. > :07:56.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have presented medals to British
:07:56. > :08:00.troops recently returned from Afghanistan. It was part of

:08:07. > :08:11.in Edinburgh, this year's host city, 2,500 veterans and cadeted marched
:08:11. > :08:15.down the Royal Mile. With full pomp and ceremony on
:08:15. > :08:20.parade down the Royal Mile, Scotland's regiments drew the
:08:20. > :08:24.crowds today despite the overcast skies. The Red Arrows left their
:08:24. > :08:30.mark. Watching on the ground, a solemn David Cameron, the Prime
:08:30. > :08:35.Minister now in charge of two wars - Afghanistan and Libya. He
:08:35. > :08:38.expressed his frustration at senior officers speaking out. But today
:08:38. > :08:43.the Chief of the Defence Staff played down any talk of tension.
:08:43. > :08:48.the level which we are working, there is no tension. I thoroughly
:08:48. > :08:51.enjoy the constructive debate that we have and I have made my point
:08:51. > :08:56.and others make their point and we do what we have been asked to do.

:09:32. > :09:37.Armed Forces in the future. But the show of public support is a thank

:09:44. > :09:53.public support here in Edinburgh today for the men and women serving
:09:53. > :09:57.in the UK's Armed Forces. The tennis now and it's been a
