Good evening. A court has intervened in the bitter industrial | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
dispute that has seen the Australian airline Qantas ground | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
its entire fleet of planes, affecting tens of thousands of | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
passengers worldwide. This afternoon a special tribunal | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
ordered Qantas and the unions to call of the action. The airline | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
says it hopes to start flying again tomorrow. Duncan Kennedy has the | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
latest. All day, all around the world, | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
Qantas jets turned airports into parking lots. There was not a | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
single flight as every single one of the aircraft in the fleet | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
remained grounded. That meant confusion and frustration for | :01:33. | :01:43. | |
thousands. I travel with them on a regular basis. I will probably go | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
to Virgin. I want to get home. have been planning it for months | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
and then this happens. You just have to make the best. If we have | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
to sit in an airport, that is what we have to do. It is ridiculous | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
because I have checked in this morning and there has been no news. | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
I have had no message from Qantas. It was the middle of the night in | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
Melbourne when the decision by three judges came through, ordering | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
an end to the industrial action. Their ruling cleared the way for | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
Qantas to put its jets back in my ear. | :02:17. | :02:27. | |
:02:27. | :02:30. | ||
A our priority today -- back in We will work with the company to | :02:30. | :02:38. | |
make sure that the Australian travelling public is not | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
inconvenienced for one minute longer than necessary. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
The move was welcomed by the government, who put pressure on | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
both sides to settle the dispute. We are conscious that there are | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
tens of thousands of travellers who have been stranded in Australia and | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
the rest of the world. We are conscious there are people who | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
cannot get to work or can it get back to their families. - mock | :03:02. | :03:11. | |
cannot get back -- cannot get back. If we believe that this industrial | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
action needed to come to a halt. A Qantas say it will be lunchtime | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
tomorrow UK time before it can begin flights again. At dispute by | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
plans -- over plans to move some of its operations in Asia has cost at | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
least �20 billion. This action lasted around 36 hours. Repairing | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
Quantas' reputation will take longer. In the end, the company got | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
what it wanted, but it has been a public relations disaster. | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
The Foreign Office has confirmed that two British civilians were | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
among those killed in yesterday's car-bomb attack in the Afghan | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
capital Kabul. 13 people died when a Taliban suicide bomber drove into | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
the side of a bus. It was one of the biggest attacks in the ten-year | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
war. Our correspondent is in Kabul. What more do we know about the two | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
Britons who died? They were can tractors, electricians, working for | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
the international mission in Afghanistan. That attack was so | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
enormous, and the ferocity of the inferno which engulfed it was so | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
great, it has taken a very long time to identify the people inside. | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
We heard from the British embassy here in Kabul that earlier reports | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
that it was only Americans, Canadians and Afghans affected by | :04:41. | :04:51. | |
:04:51. | :04:51. | ||
the attack proved to be inaccurate. A ceremony is taking place for one | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
of the Britons. Thank you very much. | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
The Bishop of London has told anti- capitalist demonstrators camped | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
outside St Paul's Cathedral that he does not want to see their protest | :05:03. | :05:13. | |
:05:13. | :05:17. | ||
ended violence. -- end in violence. Our correspondent is there. | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
Richard Charters made a protesters camped out here and offer today. He | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
said, pack up your tents ball and a rally and I will make sure that | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
your voice is heard in debates -- Bolland Farrelly and I will make | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
sure that your voice is heard in debates inside the cathedral. That | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
prompted an impassioned debate. The encounter was close-up and more | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
personal than ever. The senior clerics trying to end the | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
occupation went out to plead their case. Would you support an | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
eviction? Would you please... a direct question. I am not in a | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
position to give a direct answer. As the Bishop... Who knows what is | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
going to happen? The one thing I am very concerned about is that this | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
should not lead to violence. Direct answers have become | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
increasingly difficult for a church which is using the law to evict | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
protesters while insisting it shares their concerns. Some | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
Anglicans fear that, at a time of social and economic change, the | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
Church could miss a rare opportunity to make Christian | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
ethics part of the outcome. One bishop said the compromise of four | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
per by the clerics might not be -- the compromise offered by the | :06:41. | :06:48. | |
clerics might not be acceptable. These people feel that they are not | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
being taken seriously, when their concerns are actually core gospel | :06:52. | :07:02. | |
concerns. Others were concerned about what | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
the protesters describe as the inevitability as violence. | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
I could be dragged out of them my tent in the middle of the night, | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
batons could be used against me. It is about real people. | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
The people camped outside St Paul's Cathedral tonight are yet to be | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
convinced that the cathedral is not at least partly influenced by its | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
neighbours in the City of London. A new generation is is a -- is | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
questioning the established order and is yet to be satisfied by the | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
answer this is getting. -- it is getting. Nick Herbert up-to-date | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
told the BBC that the Government thought it was right for people to | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
express their views, but they did not have the right to disrupt the | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
life of the community. I think it is fair to say that, even with the | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
Government on board, it would still be awkward for the Church of | :07:57. | :08:06. | |
violence had to be used to move this camp. -- if violence. | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
Syria's president has warned of an earthquake if the West intervenes | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
in his country. In an interview with a Sunday newspaper he said | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
that foreign involvement would risk Syria becoming another Afghanistan. | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
At least 50 people are reported to have died in the latest anti- | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
government clashes. Our correspondent has the latest from | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
neighbouring Lebanon. This is Serbia's third biggest city, | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
Homs, now one of the biggest battlegrounds between the security | :08:37. | :08:45. | |
forces and their opponents. President al-Assad promised Ban Ki- | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
Moon that he would pull back his security forces. That has clearly | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
not happened. Internet footage like this is impossible to verify, but | :08:55. | :09:04. | |
it would also be hard to fake. Mr Assad has also said that his forces | :09:04. | :09:13. | |
are now fighting only armed terrorists. Here at a mosque north | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
of Homs they are shown apparently attacking protesters who may be | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
defiant but they do not seem to be armed. A man is wounded, others | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
risk their lives to save them and carry him away. Activists say that | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
scenes like this happen many times every day, leaving scores injured | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
and many dead. If the relentless bloodshed is prompting growing | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
pressure for some sort of outside intervention, especially now that | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
Libya is done with. That is why President a sad chose this moment | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
to tell the Sunday Telegraph what a dangerous step that would be. Syria | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
is the hub in this region, in this region. It is the fault line. If | :09:54. | :10:02. | |
you play with the ground you will cause an earthquake. Syria has | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
extended its alliances into Lebanon, Iraq, Iran and beyond. In that | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
sense, it could create a lot of havoc. | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
Lebanon is just one of several neighbours where those ethnic fault | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
lines mean that what happens in Syria will matter to them. Everyone | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
is watching the conflict here very closely indeed. They do not know | :10:25. | :10:35. | |
how it will lend up but they know it will affect them very greatly. | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
The president still has hundreds of thousands of supporters who stage | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
rallies like this every day. External intervention, as in Libya, | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
could sealed President al-Assad's fate. And he knows it. -- could | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
seal. The leader of the BNP has told | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
members that the party is stronger than ever. Nick Griffin told his | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
party's annual conference that people appreciated his members | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
talking about issues that others avoided. | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
British ship sailing off the coast of Somalia and other high risk | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
areas will be allowed armed guards on board to deal with pirates. Mr | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
Cameron said he wants to overturn the ban of the carrying of firearms | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
on British vessels. The Dutch navy, storming a ship | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
hijacked by Somali pile-up -- pirates last year. The problem | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
remains of how to stop such vessels being taken in the first place. | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
Britain is joining other countries in allowing its ships to carry | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
armed guards to repel attacks. are going to say to British flag | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
ships that they will be allowed to have armed guards on the ships. The | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
evidence is that ships with armed guards do not get attacked, do not | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
get taken for hostage or for ransom. It is the sheer scale of the piracy | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
problem that has led to this decision. 246 hostages are | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
currently being held. Ransoms have been growing, now averaging nearly | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
�5 million. A lot of countries, including Britain, have sent their | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
navies to patrol the region. They have to cover 3 million square | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
miles, the size of western Europe. With resources stretched, allowing | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
the 200 British flagged vessels to carry arms is seen as one way of | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
dealing with pirates like these. In recent years there has been a huge | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
rise in the number of private security companies offering | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
protection, and the hope is that licensing them will minimise the | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
risks. Some of them are cowboys, but some of them are very | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
professional. Obviously, when you have men working on board ships, | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
you want to make sure that they have the highest professional | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
standards and that they understand proportionate force and know how to | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
use it. As well as the danger of escalating | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
violence, negotiating for weapons to be carried in other countries | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
and their waters may be complicated. But the hope will be that the | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
threat of force will act as a deterrent. | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
Now the sport. We know that Sebastian Vettel is | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
the Formula One world champion, but that did not make the very first | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
Indian Grand Prix any less interesting. Another win for him | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
but another controversial incident involving Lewis Hamilton and Felipe | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
Massa. While many people had been looking | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
forward to the first Indian Grand Prix, those involved at the sharp | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
end felt a duty to look back. A minute's silence before the race to | :13:50. | :13:59. | |
remember the recent loss of Dan Wheldon and Marco Simoncelli. The | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
Buddh International Circuit might be a new venue but it was the same | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
old story. Sebastian Vettel started from pole position and, as usual, | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
raced off into the distance, leaving others to fight it out | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
amongst themselves. Jenson Button started for after struggling in | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
qualifying, but was soon up his second. Mark Webber fought hard to | :14:17. | :14:26. | |
regain his place. Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa clashed for the | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
sixth time this season. They never seemed to learn. But stewards | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
decided that the Brazilian was to blame. We had the one minute's | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
silence before the start of the race and Mian Felipe Massa were | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
starting -- standing next to each other. He has not spoken to me in a | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
long time. I put my arm around him and said good luck. I tried to come | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
out when he tried to overtake but it did not look like he was going | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
to give me any space and we collided. I am really sorry for my | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
team. Sebastian Vettel steered clear of | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
trouble and claimed the fastest lap on the way to his 11th when this | :15:04. | :15:14. | |

There is only one game in the Premier League today - spas at home | :15:22. | :15:31. | |
to Queen's Park Rangers. Gareth Bale scored two superb goals. | :15:31. | :15:39. | |
