:00:28. > :00:32.you will create another Afghanistan. Would you support an eviction? It

:00:32. > :00:37.is a direct question, give a direct answer.

:00:57. > :01:01.Good evening. A court has intervened in the bitter industrial

:01:01. > :01:04.dispute that has seen the Australian airline Qantas ground

:01:04. > :01:08.its entire fleet of planes, affecting tens of thousands of

:01:08. > :01:12.passengers worldwide. This afternoon a special tribunal

:01:12. > :01:15.ordered Qantas and the unions to call of the action. The airline

:01:15. > :01:22.says it hopes to start flying again tomorrow. Duncan Kennedy has the

:01:22. > :01:25.latest. All day, all around the world,

:01:25. > :01:29.Qantas jets turned airports into parking lots. There was not a

:01:29. > :01:33.single flight as every single one of the aircraft in the fleet

:01:33. > :01:43.remained grounded. That meant confusion and frustration for

:01:43. > :01:50.thousands. I travel with them on a regular basis. I will probably go

:01:50. > :01:53.to Virgin. I want to get home. have been planning it for months

:01:53. > :01:57.and then this happens. You just have to make the best. If we have

:01:57. > :02:02.to sit in an airport, that is what we have to do. It is ridiculous

:02:02. > :02:07.because I have checked in this morning and there has been no news.

:02:07. > :02:10.I have had no message from Qantas. It was the middle of the night in

:02:10. > :02:14.Melbourne when the decision by three judges came through, ordering

:02:14. > :02:17.an end to the industrial action. Their ruling cleared the way for

:02:17. > :02:27.Qantas to put its jets back in my ear.

:02:27. > :02:30.

:02:30. > :02:38.A our priority today -- back in We will work with the company to

:02:39. > :02:41.make sure that the Australian travelling public is not

:02:41. > :02:45.inconvenienced for one minute longer than necessary.

:02:45. > :02:50.The move was welcomed by the government, who put pressure on

:02:50. > :02:53.both sides to settle the dispute. We are conscious that there are

:02:53. > :02:57.tens of thousands of travellers who have been stranded in Australia and

:02:57. > :03:02.the rest of the world. We are conscious there are people who

:03:02. > :03:11.cannot get to work or can it get back to their families. - mock

:03:11. > :03:16.cannot get back -- cannot get back. If we believe that this industrial

:03:17. > :03:23.action needed to come to a halt. A Qantas say it will be lunchtime

:03:23. > :03:28.tomorrow UK time before it can begin flights again. At dispute by

:03:28. > :03:35.plans -- over plans to move some of its operations in Asia has cost at

:03:35. > :03:39.least �20 billion. This action lasted around 36 hours. Repairing

:03:39. > :03:46.Quantas' reputation will take longer. In the end, the company got

:03:46. > :03:49.what it wanted, but it has been a public relations disaster.

:03:49. > :03:53.The Foreign Office has confirmed that two British civilians were

:03:53. > :04:00.among those killed in yesterday's car-bomb attack in the Afghan

:04:00. > :04:04.capital Kabul. 13 people died when a Taliban suicide bomber drove into

:04:04. > :04:10.the side of a bus. It was one of the biggest attacks in the ten-year

:04:10. > :04:17.war. Our correspondent is in Kabul. What more do we know about the two

:04:17. > :04:22.Britons who died? They were can tractors, electricians, working for

:04:22. > :04:27.the international mission in Afghanistan. That attack was so

:04:27. > :04:32.enormous, and the ferocity of the inferno which engulfed it was so

:04:32. > :04:35.great, it has taken a very long time to identify the people inside.

:04:35. > :04:41.We heard from the British embassy here in Kabul that earlier reports

:04:41. > :04:51.that it was only Americans, Canadians and Afghans affected by

:04:51. > :04:51.

:04:51. > :04:56.the attack proved to be inaccurate. A ceremony is taking place for one

:04:56. > :05:00.of the Britons. Thank you very much.

:05:00. > :05:03.The Bishop of London has told anti- capitalist demonstrators camped

:05:03. > :05:13.outside St Paul's Cathedral that he does not want to see their protest

:05:13. > :05:17.

:05:17. > :05:21.ended violence. -- end in violence. Our correspondent is there.

:05:21. > :05:27.Richard Charters made a protesters camped out here and offer today. He

:05:27. > :05:30.said, pack up your tents ball and a rally and I will make sure that

:05:30. > :05:35.your voice is heard in debates -- Bolland Farrelly and I will make

:05:35. > :05:39.sure that your voice is heard in debates inside the cathedral. That

:05:39. > :05:46.prompted an impassioned debate. The encounter was close-up and more

:05:46. > :05:49.personal than ever. The senior clerics trying to end the

:05:49. > :05:54.occupation went out to plead their case. Would you support an

:05:55. > :06:03.eviction? Would you please... a direct question. I am not in a

:06:03. > :06:09.position to give a direct answer. As the Bishop... Who knows what is

:06:09. > :06:14.going to happen? The one thing I am very concerned about is that this

:06:14. > :06:18.should not lead to violence. Direct answers have become

:06:18. > :06:22.increasingly difficult for a church which is using the law to evict

:06:22. > :06:27.protesters while insisting it shares their concerns. Some

:06:27. > :06:29.Anglicans fear that, at a time of social and economic change, the

:06:29. > :06:33.Church could miss a rare opportunity to make Christian

:06:34. > :06:41.ethics part of the outcome. One bishop said the compromise of four

:06:41. > :06:48.per by the clerics might not be -- the compromise offered by the

:06:48. > :06:52.clerics might not be acceptable. These people feel that they are not

:06:52. > :07:02.being taken seriously, when their concerns are actually core gospel

:07:02. > :07:08.concerns. Others were concerned about what

:07:08. > :07:12.the protesters describe as the inevitability as violence.

:07:12. > :07:17.I could be dragged out of them my tent in the middle of the night,

:07:17. > :07:20.batons could be used against me. It is about real people.

:07:20. > :07:25.The people camped outside St Paul's Cathedral tonight are yet to be

:07:25. > :07:30.convinced that the cathedral is not at least partly influenced by its

:07:30. > :07:34.neighbours in the City of London. A new generation is is a -- is

:07:34. > :07:41.questioning the established order and is yet to be satisfied by the

:07:41. > :07:44.answer this is getting. -- it is getting. Nick Herbert up-to-date

:07:44. > :07:49.told the BBC that the Government thought it was right for people to

:07:49. > :07:54.express their views, but they did not have the right to disrupt the

:07:54. > :07:57.life of the community. I think it is fair to say that, even with the

:07:57. > :08:06.Government on board, it would still be awkward for the Church of

:08:06. > :08:09.violence had to be used to move this camp. -- if violence.

:08:09. > :08:12.Syria's president has warned of an earthquake if the West intervenes

:08:13. > :08:17.in his country. In an interview with a Sunday newspaper he said

:08:17. > :08:21.that foreign involvement would risk Syria becoming another Afghanistan.

:08:21. > :08:27.At least 50 people are reported to have died in the latest anti-

:08:27. > :08:32.government clashes. Our correspondent has the latest from

:08:32. > :08:37.neighbouring Lebanon. This is Serbia's third biggest city,

:08:37. > :08:45.Homs, now one of the biggest battlegrounds between the security

:08:45. > :08:48.forces and their opponents. President al-Assad promised Ban Ki-

:08:48. > :08:55.Moon that he would pull back his security forces. That has clearly

:08:55. > :09:04.not happened. Internet footage like this is impossible to verify, but

:09:04. > :09:13.it would also be hard to fake. Mr Assad has also said that his forces

:09:13. > :09:17.are now fighting only armed terrorists. Here at a mosque north

:09:17. > :09:23.of Homs they are shown apparently attacking protesters who may be

:09:23. > :09:28.defiant but they do not seem to be armed. A man is wounded, others

:09:28. > :09:31.risk their lives to save them and carry him away. Activists say that

:09:31. > :09:35.scenes like this happen many times every day, leaving scores injured

:09:35. > :09:39.and many dead. If the relentless bloodshed is prompting growing

:09:39. > :09:44.pressure for some sort of outside intervention, especially now that

:09:44. > :09:49.Libya is done with. That is why President a sad chose this moment

:09:50. > :09:54.to tell the Sunday Telegraph what a dangerous step that would be. Syria

:09:54. > :10:02.is the hub in this region, in this region. It is the fault line. If

:10:02. > :10:10.you play with the ground you will cause an earthquake. Syria has

:10:10. > :10:13.extended its alliances into Lebanon, Iraq, Iran and beyond. In that

:10:13. > :10:17.sense, it could create a lot of havoc.

:10:17. > :10:21.Lebanon is just one of several neighbours where those ethnic fault

:10:22. > :10:25.lines mean that what happens in Syria will matter to them. Everyone

:10:25. > :10:35.is watching the conflict here very closely indeed. They do not know

:10:35. > :10:38.how it will lend up but they know it will affect them very greatly.

:10:38. > :10:41.The president still has hundreds of thousands of supporters who stage

:10:42. > :10:49.rallies like this every day. External intervention, as in Libya,

:10:49. > :10:55.could sealed President al-Assad's fate. And he knows it. -- could

:10:55. > :11:00.seal. The leader of the BNP has told

:11:00. > :11:05.members that the party is stronger than ever. Nick Griffin told his

:11:05. > :11:09.party's annual conference that people appreciated his members

:11:09. > :11:12.talking about issues that others avoided.

:11:12. > :11:17.British ship sailing off the coast of Somalia and other high risk

:11:17. > :11:23.areas will be allowed armed guards on board to deal with pirates. Mr

:11:23. > :11:28.Cameron said he wants to overturn the ban of the carrying of firearms

:11:28. > :11:34.on British vessels. The Dutch navy, storming a ship

:11:34. > :11:37.hijacked by Somali pile-up -- pirates last year. The problem

:11:37. > :11:43.remains of how to stop such vessels being taken in the first place.

:11:43. > :11:50.Britain is joining other countries in allowing its ships to carry

:11:50. > :11:54.armed guards to repel attacks. are going to say to British flag

:11:54. > :11:58.ships that they will be allowed to have armed guards on the ships. The

:11:58. > :12:03.evidence is that ships with armed guards do not get attacked, do not

:12:03. > :12:08.get taken for hostage or for ransom. It is the sheer scale of the piracy

:12:08. > :12:14.problem that has led to this decision. 246 hostages are

:12:14. > :12:20.currently being held. Ransoms have been growing, now averaging nearly

:12:20. > :12:25.�5 million. A lot of countries, including Britain, have sent their

:12:25. > :12:31.navies to patrol the region. They have to cover 3 million square

:12:31. > :12:36.miles, the size of western Europe. With resources stretched, allowing

:12:36. > :12:40.the 200 British flagged vessels to carry arms is seen as one way of

:12:40. > :12:43.dealing with pirates like these. In recent years there has been a huge

:12:43. > :12:47.rise in the number of private security companies offering

:12:47. > :12:51.protection, and the hope is that licensing them will minimise the

:12:51. > :12:55.risks. Some of them are cowboys, but some of them are very

:12:55. > :13:00.professional. Obviously, when you have men working on board ships,

:13:00. > :13:04.you want to make sure that they have the highest professional

:13:04. > :13:06.standards and that they understand proportionate force and know how to

:13:06. > :13:10.use it. As well as the danger of escalating

:13:10. > :13:14.violence, negotiating for weapons to be carried in other countries

:13:14. > :13:20.and their waters may be complicated. But the hope will be that the

:13:20. > :13:26.threat of force will act as a deterrent.

:13:26. > :13:29.Now the sport. We know that Sebastian Vettel is

:13:29. > :13:34.the Formula One world champion, but that did not make the very first

:13:34. > :13:38.Indian Grand Prix any less interesting. Another win for him

:13:38. > :13:42.but another controversial incident involving Lewis Hamilton and Felipe

:13:42. > :13:46.Massa. While many people had been looking

:13:46. > :13:50.forward to the first Indian Grand Prix, those involved at the sharp

:13:50. > :13:59.end felt a duty to look back. A minute's silence before the race to

:13:59. > :14:02.remember the recent loss of Dan Wheldon and Marco Simoncelli. The

:14:02. > :14:06.Buddh International Circuit might be a new venue but it was the same

:14:06. > :14:09.old story. Sebastian Vettel started from pole position and, as usual,

:14:09. > :14:13.raced off into the distance, leaving others to fight it out

:14:13. > :14:17.amongst themselves. Jenson Button started for after struggling in

:14:17. > :14:26.qualifying, but was soon up his second. Mark Webber fought hard to

:14:26. > :14:32.regain his place. Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa clashed for the

:14:32. > :14:38.sixth time this season. They never seemed to learn. But stewards

:14:38. > :14:42.decided that the Brazilian was to blame. We had the one minute's

:14:42. > :14:45.silence before the start of the race and Mian Felipe Massa were

:14:45. > :14:51.starting -- standing next to each other. He has not spoken to me in a

:14:51. > :14:54.long time. I put my arm around him and said good luck. I tried to come

:14:54. > :14:58.out when he tried to overtake but it did not look like he was going

:14:58. > :15:01.to give me any space and we collided. I am really sorry for my

:15:01. > :15:04.team. Sebastian Vettel steered clear of

:15:04. > :15:14.trouble and claimed the fastest lap on the way to his 11th when this

:15:14. > :15:22.

:15:22. > :15:31.There is only one game in the Premier League today - spas at home

:15:31. > :15:39.to Queen's Park Rangers. Gareth Bale scored two superb goals.

:15:39. > :15:46.The top of the Premier League table looks like this. Germaine Lindsay
