:01:07. > :01:12.Good evening. A day after the resignation of Silvio Berlusconi,
:01:12. > :01:15.one of Europe's most colourful and controversial leaders, Italy has a
:01:15. > :01:19.new Prime Minister. Mario Monti a former European Commissioner has
:01:19. > :01:24.been asked to form the next Government. His main task will be
:01:24. > :01:32.to bring the country back from the bring of economic crisis, by
:01:32. > :01:36.tackling Italy's massive debt. Thank you. A few hours ago he left
:01:36. > :01:39.the Presidential palace for meetings with the leader of the
:01:39. > :01:44.lower House and the Senate. And then he went for dinner with Silvio
:01:44. > :01:48.Berlusconi. Who tells him he will give his sup for for a limited
:01:48. > :01:53.period, dependent on his agenda, and the Cabinet he chooses. A
:01:53. > :01:58.warning, there is flash photography in this report. A weekend of high
:01:58. > :02:02.drama that ended this've thing with Mario Monti's arrival at the
:02:02. > :02:07.Presidential palace. In 24-hours, and before markets re-open tomorrow,
:02:07. > :02:11.Italy has moved full speed towards an impartial technocrat Government.
:02:11. > :02:19.And the unelected official who tonight was invited to lead it says
:02:19. > :02:25.that is merely the beginning. TRANSLATION: We aim to solve the
:02:25. > :02:31.financial situation. And to resume a path to growth. It is time to
:02:31. > :02:36.build a future of digtive and hope forfor our children. He will be a
:02:36. > :02:41.leader in stark contrast to Silvio Berlusconi. A well-respected
:02:42. > :02:46.economist, he is known in Italy as supermarrow for his intellectual
:02:46. > :02:51.rigour. He was President of a university in Milne. Renowned for
:02:51. > :02:55.training the brightest economists. From 1994 to 2004. He was a
:02:55. > :03:02.European Commissioner, in Brussels, where he developed a reputation as
:03:02. > :03:07.a tough negotiator. He has always been a staunch defender of the euro.
:03:07. > :03:11.But he will require the support of the man he replaces. Silvio
:03:11. > :03:15.Berlusconi still has the loyalty of the biggest party in Parliament,
:03:15. > :03:19.and behind the fixed smile, there is anger at the way he has been
:03:19. > :03:28.treated. He still harbours ambition, though tonight pledged to work in
:03:28. > :03:31.the enterss of the country. Let me say it was sad to see that
:03:31. > :03:38.responsible and, if you allow me generous gestures such as my
:03:38. > :03:44.resignation was greeted with boos and insults. Throughout the day, a
:03:44. > :03:48.procession of party leaders were summoned to the Palace as 86-year-
:03:48. > :03:53.old President napednaped fought to secure that working majority, that
:03:53. > :03:58.Mr Monti will need. Every party has to think, every political party has
:03:58. > :04:02.to think in the next hour, the next couple of days what is the
:04:02. > :04:08.alternative? The alternative could be call for new elections. It like
:04:08. > :04:12.giving the market an answer and say wait until February or March.
:04:12. > :04:18.Despite deep divisions in Parliament they had no option but
:04:18. > :04:22.to follow Mr Monti. He must act quickly the package they approved
:04:22. > :04:27.is a pale imitation of what is needed to tackle the debt. Mr Monti
:04:27. > :04:31.must go wider and cut much deeper. Though carrying the Parliament
:04:31. > :04:35.seems to be the biggest challenge of all. Let us pick up with
:04:35. > :04:40.Christian. A big task, how receptive do you think Italy will
:04:40. > :04:44.be to what Mario Monti needs to do? Well, they are optimistic, they
:04:44. > :04:47.like the look of him, but will they like the look of an unelected
:04:47. > :04:51.official when he raises that are takess or he cut theirs jobs or
:04:51. > :04:55.their local services? That is very much open to question. Then there
:04:55. > :04:59.is the issue of Mr Berlusconi, all powerful, the former head of the
:04:59. > :05:03.news said he reminded her of a dead donkey. You think he is dead then
:05:03. > :05:08.he kicks you. So Mario Monti will be well advised to watch where he
:05:08. > :05:11.walks in the next few weeks. On the bright side, he is independent, he
:05:11. > :05:15.is not behold on the a party Mount Everest. He is -- manifesto, he is
:05:15. > :05:19.determine and a smart guy. So I think that goes in his favour. They
:05:19. > :05:24.will let him go with the economy, but I think when he starts to touch
:05:24. > :05:28.things like power, and privilege and the vested interests of
:05:28. > :05:35.Parliament, metaphorically speaking this long length of rope they let
:05:35. > :05:38.him run away with he they might try to use and hang him. Here the
:05:38. > :05:44.Chancellor said he will bring forward plans to promote economic
:05:44. > :05:47.growth. He told the BBC the Government nodes to do more for
:05:47. > :05:54.investment in construction and small businesses. Ed Balls say the
:05:55. > :05:58.strategy is failing. How do ministers get the balance right?
:05:58. > :06:03.Deficit reduction plans have reasureed the market bus the UK's
:06:03. > :06:06.sluggish growth has become a problem. Now the Treasury wants to
:06:06. > :06:09.boost private sector investment. Ministers hope the road to recovery
:06:09. > :06:14.will be paved with money held by opinionion funds, which usually
:06:14. > :06:16.invest in Government bonds, but might get a better return from
:06:16. > :06:21.infrastructure projects. Today, the Chancellor insisted he had been
:06:21. > :06:26.right to get public spending under control, but he did have a plan for
:06:26. > :06:30.growth. I fully accept we need to go further, we need to have more
:06:30. > :06:34.initiatives and more Government plans to help stimulate housing,
:06:34. > :06:36.get homes being built, help construction, help with more
:06:36. > :06:40.infrastructure, help small businesses get credit. I accept all
:06:40. > :06:45.of that and we are going to announce plans for all those things
:06:46. > :06:49.in the coming weeks, let us not forget. You are not interviewing a
:06:49. > :06:53.Finance Minister who is terrified he can't sell his country's debt
:06:53. > :06:57.tomorrow. Labour say it is about time the Government constructed a
:06:57. > :07:01.growth strategy, but this one is flawed. It has to have a stimulus
:07:01. > :07:04.for the economy, and George Osborne is talking about �50 billion. As
:07:04. > :07:09.far as I can see he is saying that is coming from private investment.
:07:09. > :07:13.We have had it for a year, this idea you could cut public jobs and
:07:13. > :07:16.investment an the prielth sector will take over. They have not done
:07:16. > :07:24.it. With growth faltering and unemployment rising, some fear that
:07:24. > :07:27.things could get worse before they get better. The Queen has led
:07:27. > :07:31.ceremonies to mark Remembrance Sunday laying a wreath at the
:07:31. > :07:34.Cenotaph in Central London. A two minute silence was observed across
:07:34. > :07:38.the UK, and at British military bases round the world. To remember
:07:38. > :07:48.those who have lost their lives in armed conflict. Our royal
:07:48. > :07:49.
:07:49. > :07:52.correspondent reports. It is the nation's unchanging commitment to
:07:52. > :07:55.remember. The formal tribute attended both by those who are
:07:55. > :08:00.familiar with the occasion, and some for whom this was a first, to
:08:00. > :08:04.those who gave their lives in the World Wars, and in more recent
:08:04. > :08:13.conflicts. An obligation made sharper by the casualties suffered
:08:13. > :08:16.by today's generation of servicemen and women in Afghanistan. At one
:08:16. > :08:20.minute to 11, the Queen led senior members of the Royal Family to
:08:20. > :08:30.their positions at the Cenotaph, for the two minute silence,
:08:30. > :08:30.
:08:30. > :09:24.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds
:09:24. > :09:27.observed in Whitehall, and at war LAST POST PLAYS At the seven faff
:09:27. > :09:30.after the sounding of the Last Post the Queen laid her wreath in
:09:30. > :09:35.tribute to more than one million men and women from Britain and the
:09:35. > :09:45.Commonwealth who have given their lives in war over the past century.
:09:45. > :09:45.
:09:45. > :09:52.And then some of those with their own memories of duty done marched
:09:52. > :09:56.past to lay their wrees in memory of comrades who never came home.
:09:56. > :10:06.Remembrance was given to men and women past and present who gave
:10:06. > :10:07.
:10:07. > :10:11.life itself. Rescue teams have ended their search for a 79-year-
:10:11. > :10:14.old man who was flying a light aircraft which crashed into the
:10:14. > :10:17.English Channel. Ian Dickinson's plane came down off the coast of
:10:17. > :10:22.Guernsey yesterday. His wife was rescued by a passing ship, and has
:10:22. > :10:27.been released from hospital. Thousands of Syrian Government
:10:27. > :10:30.supporters have taken to the streets in protest at their

:10:51. > :10:56.massive pro-government rallies encouraged an supported by the
:10:56. > :11:01.authorities. This was one demonstration Syrian television did
:11:01. > :11:08.want to show the world. Splitting its screen to show huge crowds in
:11:08. > :11:12.different cities. In the capital Damascus, mobs gathered outside the
:11:13. > :11:17.embassy of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Three countries that have
:11:17. > :11:24.been tough on Syria. They even broke in. No sign here of the gun

:11:30. > :11:35.opposition supporter in Damascus by about the own safe means possible.
:11:35. > :11:42.A computer link up. Thank you for speaking to us. She told me that
:11:42. > :11:48.most Syrians were delight bd the decision. I think it is so right,
:11:49. > :11:52.and wise decision, and all the people are so happy. But she told
:11:52. > :11:55.me of more arrests of opposition supporters and she didn't dare
:11:55. > :12:03.think what would happen to her if the authorities tracked down this
:12:03. > :12:06.call. But opposition supporters did go out and protest in the city of
:12:07. > :12:16.Hama. This footage shows them apparently under attack once good
:12:16. > :12:23.afternoon by the security forces. At least four protestors chanting

:12:36. > :12:39.openly encouraging just the sort of opposition activists many of them
:12:39. > :12:46.still try to silence in their own countries.
:12:46. > :12:50.The tough action by Arab ministers has increased the pace of the
:12:50. > :12:53.confrontation. It has made Government feel more embattled and
:12:53. > :13:03.that does not bode well for a peaceful solution in Syria any time
:13:03. > :13:07.soon. Rival armed groups loyal to Libya's trans-- transitional

:15:46. > :15:49.today with victory at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, it is his first win
:15:49. > :15:55.since July. Sebastian Vettel failed to finish, spinning off in the
:15:55. > :16:01.opening lap. It was the day when Lewis Hamilton rediscovered his
:16:01. > :16:05.fizz after a troubled few moneys at last a win, a smile and a spot of
:16:05. > :16:10.lung. The race is under way. Hamilton had begun behind Sebastian
:16:10. > :16:15.Vettel. He probably expected to finish there too. But out of
:16:15. > :16:19.nowhere, this. Vettel is off with a puncture. Vettel's back tyre had
:16:19. > :16:24.burst, with dramatic results. First lap and his first retirement this
:16:24. > :16:29.season, still with a world title already sown up no complaints. But
:16:29. > :16:33.the way was now clear for Hamilton and how he took his chance. Easing
:16:33. > :16:38.clear of Fernando Alonso. His team- mate Jenson Button was in a right
:16:38. > :16:43.old tussle. Wheel to wheel with Mark Webber, Button clung on the

:17:44. > :17:48.Cronk. Australia will play England next Saturday in the final. In
