:01:02. > :01:07.investigators in Libya say they have uncovered documents in Tripoli

:01:07. > :01:11.which show close co-operation between MI6, the CIA and the

:01:11. > :01:15.Gaddafi regime. The group, Human Rights Watch says the

:01:15. > :01:18.correspondence shows that British intel jns officers gave the regime

:01:18. > :01:22.information about Libyan dissidents in this country. William Hague said

:01:22. > :01:29.today he couldn't comment on security matters which related to

:01:29. > :01:34.the previous government. Colonel Gaddafi's regime was believed to

:01:34. > :01:37.have tortured people. It seems western intelligence sent terror

:01:37. > :01:42.suspects to Tripoli for interrogation. The secret documents,

:01:42. > :01:46.that have been found here, seem to show close links between the CIA

:01:46. > :01:52.and MI6 and Colonel Gaddafi's intelligence service, with several

:01:52. > :01:59.suspects being put in secret on to planes to Libya. So-called, "black

:01:59. > :02:04.flights". We stumbled across a room which contained the files of

:02:04. > :02:12.correspondence between the Libyan external security, which was headed

:02:12. > :02:22.by Gaddafi's right-hand man Moussa Koussa and different western

:02:22. > :02:29.

:02:29. > :02:35.intelligence agencies. It's alleged You will see there is a draft. The

:02:35. > :02:39.CIA and MI6 drafted the speech that Gaddafi gave. It's alleged that

:02:39. > :02:42.Britain and American intelligence agencies had a close relationship

:02:42. > :02:46.with Moussa Koussa, formally Colonel Gaddafi's spy chief. A man

:02:46. > :02:54.said to have much blood on his hands, who defected to Britain

:02:54. > :03:00.several months ago. The documents we found start off, you know, there

:03:00. > :03:07.are faxs saying, "dear Moussa, thank you for the oranges you sent

:03:07. > :03:11.us" those cosy relationship with the intelligence service known for

:03:11. > :03:16.torturing and disappearing people. There are thousands more of

:03:16. > :03:22.Djokovicments here to be studied and give up their secrets to the

:03:22. > :03:26.world. Let's discuss the ramifications of all of this with

:03:26. > :03:31.Jeremy Bowen. Jeremy, huge ramifications, potentially. Let's

:03:31. > :03:38.talk about Moussa Koussa, as we heard in Ben's piece there, who

:03:38. > :03:40.defected a few months ago? I think it re-opens the whole question of

:03:40. > :03:46.how Moussa Koussa was straet treated after he defected to

:03:46. > :03:51.Britain in March this year. There was talk he might be indicted for

:03:51. > :03:55.his alleged role in the Lockerbie bombs and perhaps in the killing of

:03:55. > :04:00.WPC Yvonne Fletcher. Britain allowed him to move quietly to

:04:00. > :04:04.Qatar in the Gulf where he is said still to be. Perhaps, Britain felt

:04:04. > :04:08.they owed him one. There is a question too about the relationship

:04:08. > :04:13.of NATO countries, Britain and and America, with the military

:04:13. > :04:18.commander here in trip and his allies. It's not just a matter of

:04:18. > :04:23.irony that they once got him arrested and then tortured. This

:04:23. > :04:28.comes out in the documents, by Moussa Koussa and the Libyan

:04:28. > :04:31.authorities. It's also a bad way to start a relationship. And, it also,

:04:31. > :04:35.I think, points to one interesting and very significant part of the

:04:35. > :04:40.coalition, the broad coalition that has overthrown Colonel Gaddafi.

:04:40. > :04:45.That is the fact that some of them them don't just come from a

:04:45. > :04:49.background of political Islam they come from a background of using

:04:49. > :04:53.violence, allegedly, according to America and Britain, inspired by

:04:53. > :04:57.those beliefs. Thank you. The Royal Bank of Scotland has said it will

:04:57. > :05:00.vigorously defend itself against legal action brought by the

:05:00. > :05:05.American government for the losses suffered on mortgage-based

:05:05. > :05:09.investments, which helped to bring about the global financial crash.

:05:09. > :05:19.RBS, Barclays and HSBC are among 17 banks being sued by the Federal

:05:19. > :05:23.

:05:23. > :05:26.Five million American house household lost their homes in 200

:05:26. > :05:31.and 2009. Many believed that banks had offered mortgages to people

:05:31. > :05:36.they knew could ill afford to repay them. The Government backed

:05:36. > :05:41.watchdog for the American property agencies, Freddie Mac and Fannie

:05:41. > :05:46.Mae are suing 17 of the world's largest banks including RBS,

:05:46. > :05:50.Barclays and HSBC. They believe all the banks missold specialised

:05:50. > :06:00.products and contributed to the financial crisis and the recession.

:06:00. > :06:04.

:06:04. > :06:07.Off the three British banks being This is quite a significant lawsuit.

:06:07. > :06:11.Regard last of the validity or otherwise of these allegations, a

:06:11. > :06:15.lot of the big banks will pay billions of dollars in compensation

:06:15. > :06:20.to the US government. It will be a costly settlement at best for these

:06:20. > :06:23.firms. It comes at a difficult time for the banking industry which saw

:06:23. > :06:27.its profits declining and is being buffeted by the global economic

:06:27. > :06:31.problems. The banks are bracing themselves for the publication of

:06:31. > :06:35.the Vickers banking report, which may force them to make dramatic

:06:35. > :06:40.changes to how they are return here in Britain. Sense the financial

:06:40. > :06:43.crisis, Britain's banks have seen a lot of change. They are paying a

:06:43. > :06:47.bank levy. The money they pay their staff is monitored closely. They

:06:47. > :06:52.could soon be forced to separate their investment banking activities

:06:52. > :06:58.from their retail banking activity. Add in a lawsuit from the United

:06:58. > :07:03.States, that could cripple banks already trying to find their feet.

:07:03. > :07:07.Police have arrested a man in connection with the murder of 77-

:07:07. > :07:10.year-old woman in Hexham. Graeme Jarman was arrested at a library in

:07:10. > :07:13.Filey in North Yorkshire after staff alerted the police. A

:07:13. > :07:18.nationwide appeal had been made to track him down, after he went

:07:18. > :07:22.missing from his home in Durham on 17th August. Police investigating

:07:22. > :07:26.the deaths of patients at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport say they

:07:26. > :07:30.still need to question 500 witnesses. They are investigating

:07:30. > :07:32.40 cases of contamination, including seven deaths. Yesterday,

:07:32. > :07:38.charges were dropped against a nurse at the hospital who had been

:07:38. > :07:42.arrested in July. The government has offered to hold talks with

:07:42. > :07:45.opponents of its planning reforms following widespread criticism of

:07:45. > :07:49.them by the National Trust and the Campaign to Protect Rural England.

:07:49. > :07:52.But the planning minister, Greg Clark, has denied he is considering

:07:52. > :08:02.a U-turn over controversial proposals to change the law in

:08:02. > :08:03.

:08:03. > :08:10.order to encourage more house building. Outside the gates are

:08:10. > :08:14.buses and shops, inside are hay bales and sheep. This Farming Today

:08:14. > :08:19.stopped plans to drive a motorway through, it they are petitioning

:08:19. > :08:23.against another development on the site. The government is simplifying

:08:23. > :08:27.the planning guidance and urging them to say, yes, to new building.

:08:27. > :08:32.The nth and other groups are angry about the plans. This particular

:08:32. > :08:35.site, way Pearce rural, a mile from Woolwich town centre, will be pray

:08:35. > :08:40.to development. There will be arguments you could get houses here,

:08:40. > :08:44.jobs here, transport here. It's a hugely precious amenity. Green

:08:44. > :08:47.space like this around the country which will be threatened by this

:08:47. > :08:51.presumption in favour of development that the government is

:08:51. > :08:55.proposing. Builders and businesses say the new planning policy is

:08:55. > :09:00.urgently needed. We are in a housing crisis in this country. We

:09:01. > :09:03.are building fewer homes now than we were in the 1920's. This

:09:04. > :09:07.planning reform gives a golden opportunity to simplify the

:09:07. > :09:11.planning system and to give local authorities the freedom to bring

:09:11. > :09:16.forward the land that they need. Next week, ministers will meet

:09:16. > :09:19.campaigners who worry that land, like this, will be bulldozed in the

:09:19. > :09:24.push for more businesses, houses and jobs. They might be hoping the

:09:24. > :09:28.government will think again, as it did on the sale of forests. This

:09:28. > :09:32.time, ministers do not plan to budge. Everyone is clear, we need

:09:32. > :09:37.simplify the planning process. We have to build homes for young

:09:37. > :09:42.people. We need to create jobs. We need to be clear, as I think we are,

:09:42. > :09:46.that that is not at the expense of the enfire vierment. We want to

:09:46. > :09:51.protect it. The government pledged to protect the green bement and

:09:51. > :09:55.wants to avoid a confrontation with its voters. It will consult with

:09:55. > :10:02.critics until October. More building looks set to happen, the

:10:02. > :10:06.question is, where stphr --? Son- in-law of those who tack took part

:10:06. > :10:10.in the anti-nuclear protests at Greenham Common air base in the

:10:10. > :10:14.1980s have gaithtord mark the 30th anniversary of the demonstrations.

:10:14. > :10:21.The protests against the deployment of the American cruise missiles

:10:21. > :10:25.were some of the most contentious political events of the time. Sue

:10:25. > :10:29.lent was one of the original women who started the protest. She

:10:29. > :10:34.marched from her home in Wales. Today, she is back at the Greenham

:10:34. > :10:39.site which is now a landscaped garden. When I think, 30 years ago,

:10:39. > :10:43.when we came up here, the fence was up. It was secret in there. We were

:10:43. > :10:48.frightened and concerned about what was happening in there, with the

:10:48. > :10:54.cruise missiles, it's amazing to see it now. The protests, which

:10:54. > :10:57.began in 1981, involved women using non-vie violent action. They

:10:57. > :11:05.obstructed the workings of the American base. On one occasion,

:11:05. > :11:11.there were 30,000 women on site, but only up to 100 lived at the

:11:11. > :11:17.Greenham Peace Camp full-time. Saral Hipperson was one of them.

:11:17. > :11:24.She is now 3. Sarah lived at the camp for 17 years until the land

:11:24. > :11:28.was handed back to the public in the year 2000. To be protested, we

:11:28. > :11:35.held the Ministry of Defence to account. We got the law to make

:11:35. > :11:38.that decision for us. Now, we placed our garden here. The women,

:11:39. > :11:43.who protested here, would sing every day. Today, they are singing

:11:43. > :11:47.again. In the eyes of many, they were naive to think they could rid

:11:47. > :11:52.the world of nuclear weapons. People also look down on them

:11:52. > :11:56.because of the conditions of the peace camp. They didn't care. The

:11:56. > :12:06.women believed it was their protest which succeeded in the missiles

:12:06. > :12:08.

:12:08. > :12:11.leaving Greenham once the Cold War was over. Now all the sports news.

:12:11. > :12:14.We start with football and for all those Scotland fans waiting for

:12:14. > :12:17.highlights of their crucial Euro 2012 qualifier against the Czech

:12:17. > :12:20.Republic on Sportscene, in Scotland, now's the time to leave the room

:12:20. > :12:24.while I tell viewers in the rest of the UK what happened at Hampden

:12:24. > :12:27.Park. A controversial penalty from Michal

:12:27. > :12:30.Kadlec in the closing minutes gave the Czech Republic a 2-2 draw and

:12:30. > :12:34.all but ended Scotland's hopes of qualifying for next summer's finals

:12:34. > :12:37.in Poland and Ukraine. Scottish frustrations were made

:12:37. > :12:45.worse when they were denied a penalty of their own deep into

:12:45. > :12:48.injury time. Usain Bolt says he wants to "blow

:12:48. > :12:51.people's minds" at the London Olympics next year.

:12:51. > :12:54.The Jamaican came back from his disappointment in the 100 metres to

:12:54. > :13:03.successfully defend his world 200 metre title.

:13:03. > :13:08.Our sports editor David Bond reports from Daegu. Changing South

:13:08. > :13:12.Korea's sporting customs will make -- take more than a week of world-

:13:12. > :13:15.class athletics. These children are practicing the national sport of

:13:15. > :13:20.tae kwon do. Next door is the training traubg where the media has

:13:20. > :13:25.been trying to catch a look at the one man who is certain to leave his

:13:25. > :13:31.mark on this country. Usain Bolt's false start in the 100m final last

:13:31. > :13:37.Sunday made him bigger news than forever. Surely lightning couldn't

:13:37. > :13:41.strike twice, or could it? Playing it safe this time, Bolt was the

:13:41. > :13:51.slowest out of the blocks. He soon hit the front. From there on, the

:13:51. > :13:52.

:13:52. > :13:56.result was never in any doubt. He produced his third fastest 200m

:13:56. > :14:01.ever to retain his world title and to banish memories of last

:14:01. > :14:04.weekend's problems on the start line. All I had to do was relax and

:14:05. > :14:10.listen for the gun. I really listened as much as possible to

:14:10. > :14:15.make sure I got a good start. centre of attention again. Bolt is

:14:15. > :14:22.track and field's Pied Piper. After his victory, Daegu became the stage

:14:22. > :14:26.for his unique one-man show. There was no sense of disappointment for

:14:26. > :14:30.the crowd here tonight. Usain Bolt resumed normal service. What they

:14:30. > :14:40.witnessed is not just an athlete capable of running extraordinarily

:14:40. > :14:42.

:14:42. > :14:45.fast, but a showman. Whose charisma is only con ta babl to Muhammad Ali.

:14:45. > :14:54.Rain prevented a result in the first one day international between

:14:54. > :15:00.England and India at Chester le Street. Parthiv Patel was India's

:15:00. > :15:03.top scorer. England had made a terrible start

:15:03. > :15:06.to their reply with openers Alastair Cook and Craig Keiswetter

:15:06. > :15:08.both falling cheaply to leave them on 27-2 when rain stopped play.

:15:08. > :15:11.The second match of the series takes place on Tuesday.

:15:11. > :15:14.Great Britain's Katherine Grainger has picked up her 6th world rowing

:15:14. > :15:16.title, claiming victory with Anna Watkins in the women's double skull

:15:16. > :15:19.in Slovenia. They lived up to their status as

:15:19. > :15:29.favourites and now have their sights on Olympic Gold, as Andy

:15:29. > :15:37.

:15:37. > :15:44.Gold in 2011, it might soon be gold in 2012. With the London Olympicss

:15:44. > :15:50.in their site, Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins proved why they

:15:50. > :15:54.will be the favourites. After three Olympic silvers, Grainger is

:15:54. > :15:59.dreaming of that elusive Olympic gold. I use it as an exciting

:15:59. > :16:02.incentive. The one result I haven't got yet. I love having something to

:16:03. > :16:11.aim for and something to chase. That gets us working so hard every

:16:11. > :16:19.day. I love the fact it's waiting there for us. There were three

:16:19. > :16:24.other medals for Britain today. Pete Reed and Andy Hodge got silver

:16:24. > :16:29.despite one of the fastest times in history. There have been a few

:16:29. > :16:39.disappointments. Britain has won ten medals. Expect plenty more at

:16:39. > :16:39.

:16:39. > :16:44.next year's Olympics. That's it. Our main news story. Human rights

:16:44. > :16:49.investigators in Libya say they uncovered documents which showed

:16:49. > :16:52.close co-operation between MI6, the CIA and the Gaddafi regime. The
