A new call to reform the justice system after complaints over the | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
way Milly Dowler's parents were treated at her killer's trial. | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Their cross-examination in court prompted concern from the Chief | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
Constable of Surrey Police. Ed Miliband says Labour has to | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
change if the party is to get back into Government. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are among thousands across the UK | :00:32. | :00:42. | |
:00:42. | :00:52. | ||
marking the third annual Armed Good evening. Fresh concern has | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
been raised over the way Milly Dowler's family were cross-examined | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
during the trial of her killer, Levi Bellfield. The Chief Constable | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
of Surrey Police has called for changes to the justice system | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
saying victims and witnesses need better protection during trials. He | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
said he was upset and embarrassed by the way the Dowler family had | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
been treated. Their daughter, her sister was | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
murdered but when the man who killed Milly Dowler was put on | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
trial the family found themselves in the spotlight. The way my | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
parents were questioned can only be described as mental torture. It was, | :01:30. | :01:39. | |
they said, a harrowing and brutal experience. 13-year-old Milly was | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
abducted in 2002 but when her killer finally faced justice, | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
Milly's family came under scrutiny, personal details were raked over in | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
court and exposed. Today, the Chief Constable of Surrey Police, which | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
investigated Milly's death, said the Dowlers' treatment in court is | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
proof the system needs to change. For me, it went too far. I think | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
all the legal commentators I have heard talking over the last 24 | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
hours saying this looks like the rules were probably applied | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
properly. My response so that is we can't have a system where the rules | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
are like that. Levi Bellfield will now spend the rest of his life in | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
prison. But the Dowler family say too much consideration was given to | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
him in court and too little to them. Yet lawyers argued changing the | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
system may not be the answer. is relevant for the jury to listen | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
to issues being put to a witness, then it is very, very dangerous to | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
say well you can't ask those questions. You may end up with a | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
trial that isn't fair. Surrey Police has been forced to apologise | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
for its own mistakes made during its investigation into Milly | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
Dowler's murder. But its Chief Constable says his criticism of the | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
courts is not an attempt to deflect attention away from here, simply to | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
show that a system that brought the Dowlers to despair is one in need | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
of reform. The Labour Leader Ed Miliband has | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
told his party it must be less inward-looking if it is going to | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
win back power. In a speech to party activists in North Wales, he | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
defended his plans to scrap elections to the Shadow Cabinet | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
arguing it should be the leader that decides who is in the | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
frontbench team. Can Ed Miliband make voters more | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
likely to change the Government by changing the Labour Party? He | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
thinks he can. Old Labour forgot about the public. New Labour forgot | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
about the party. By the time we left office we had lost touch with | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
both. So he's asking his party to accept new rules. He wants to scrap | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
elections to the Shadow Cabinet so he can appoint his top team, to let | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
community groups and charities speak at the party's conference, | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
and to impose a Code of Conduct on councillors and MPs to keep them | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
busy in their communities. One of the reasons we got some things | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
wrong was because our party wasn't sufficiently connected to the | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
public. So as well as getting the policies right, we have also got to | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
be a party that is much more linked to ordinary people up-and-down this | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
country. Labour's picking over what it thinks were the mistakes made by | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
its last two leaders. But critics accuse the current man at the top | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
of not making anything like the impact this pair made before they | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
got into Government. We have important reforms going through to | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
the benefits system, to banking regulation, to modernise the NHS. I | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
don't think the public are bothered about how the Shadow Cabinet is | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
elected. This kind of tinkering doesn't address the real problem | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
which is that the unions chose Ed Miliband as leader over the | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
ordinary Labour Party members and over the heads of Labour MPs. | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
Miliband knows all his MPs are waiting to see if rewriting the | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
party's rules can bring him any closer to power. | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
A car bomber has targeted a hospital in Afghanistan killing 35 | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
people. A health official in the eastern Logar Province told the BBC | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
that 53 others were hurt saying the death toll could have been higher | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
because many bodies had been taken away. | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
A British supplier of seeds has denied that its products are | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
responsible for an outbreak of E- coli in France. The French Health | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Authority believes seeds from Thompson and Morgan in Ipswich | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
might be the source. But the boss of the firm claims any | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
contamination is most likely to have happened in France. | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
The leisure centre in the suburbs of Bordeaux linked to another | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
outbreak of E-coli. Seven of those who took seriously ill had attended | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
a charity event here two weeks' ago at which they had been served cold | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
food. TRANSLATION: The identified common | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
food item were the sprouts which were germinated at the centre to | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
decorate the food and particular soups. There were also other food | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
items which were identified as having been sprinkled with the | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
infamous sprouts. The garnish was rocket and mustard sprouts, grown | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
from seedlings. TRANSLATION: These sprouts had been | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
bought by the city of Begles and they were germinated by the parents | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
of the children at the leisure centre. And the French government | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
is now investigating whether it is the seeds supplied by a British | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
company, Thompson and Morgan in Ipswich, that are ultimately to | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
blame. The link is not definitively established but they have called on | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
French retailers to withdraw the company's seeds as a precaution. | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
The Food Standards Agency said tonight it is investigating and it | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
advised people not to eat raw sprouted seeds. We sell literally | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
hundreds of thousands of packets of these seeds throughout France, | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
Europe and the UK every year. For such a small number of people to | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
have been affected, it does suggest the problem is perhaps in the local | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
area. Five of the patients admitted to hospital are now suffering | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
severe kidney problems. Two of them are infected with a highly virulent | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
strain similar to the one that killed over 40 people in Germany. | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Though as yet there is no evidence of a link. | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
Here in Paris, the Health Ministry has set up a crisis centre and is | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
encouraging people to report early any concerns they have. The | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
investigation from here is critical. This deadly organism could still be | :07:42. | :07:50. | |
in the food supply chain, viable and not yet contained. | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have presented medals to British | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
troops recently returned from Afghanistan. It was part of | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
celebrations marking the third annual Armed Forces Day. Elsewhere, | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
in Edinburgh, this year's host city, 2,500 veterans and cadeted marched | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
down the Royal Mile. With full pomp and ceremony on | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
parade down the Royal Mile, Scotland's regiments drew the | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
crowds today despite the overcast skies. The Red Arrows left their | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
mark. Watching on the ground, a solemn David Cameron, the Prime | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
Minister now in charge of two wars - Afghanistan and Libya. He | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
expressed his frustration at senior officers speaking out. But today | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
the Chief of the Defence Staff played down any talk of tension. | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
the level which we are working, there is no tension. I thoroughly | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
enjoy the constructive debate that we have and I have made my point | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
and others make their point and we do what we have been asked to do. | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
Doing their duty this morning in Windsor, the Duke and Duchess of | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
Cambridge, presenting operational medals to soldiers from 1st | :09:03. | :09:12. | |
Battalion Irish Guards. Among those receiving their medal was this | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
Lance Corporal who lost his legs in a roadside bomb. There was little | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
mention of the defence cuts that will leave the UK with smaller | :09:18. | :09:28. | |
:09:28. | :09:32. | ||
Armed Forces in the future. But the show of public support is a thank | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
you for those serving on the frontline. There is a huge sense of | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
public support here in Edinburgh today for the men and women serving | :09:44. | :09:53. | |
in the UK's Armed Forces. The tennis now and it's been a | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
straightforward day for the leading lights in the men's game. Roger | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
Federer cruised to the last 16 with a win over David Nalbandian. Rafael | :10:01. | :10:08. |
