Nick Clegg condemns David Cameron's veto of a new EU Treaty. The Deputy

Prime Minister says it is bad for Britain, but does not mean the end

of the coalition. I am bitterly disappointed by the outcome of last

week's summit, precisely because I think there is a danger that over

time the United Kingdom will be isolated and marginalised within

the European Union. We will ask how deep the divisions are within the

coalition. Also, tonight, in South Africa a global deal is reached to

limit carbon emissions by 2020. Pakistan's Prime Minister tells the

BBC there's no trust between his country and the United States after

controversial NATO raids. And Britain's Amir Khan loses his light

welterweight titles in America and hits out at the refereeing. It was

a disgusting decision. I don't know why it took so long. If they

thought he won fair and square, I Good evening. There are signs of

serious disagreement within the coalition Government tonight over

David Cameron's decision to veto a proposed new EU Treaty. The Deputy

Prime Minister condemned the move as "bad for Britain." Saying he was

deeply disappointed with the outcome of the summit in Brussels.

Tomorrow, the Prime Minister will address the House of Commons, with

senior Conservatives insisting his stance does not leave Britain

isolated W the latest, here's our political correspondent.

Last week, the coalition leaders stood together, going into the

Brussels summit. Today, the Deputy Prime Minister appeared to distance

himself from the Prime Minister's decision to veto a new EU Treaty.

am bitterly disappointed by the outcome of last week's summit,

precisely because there is a danger that over time the United Kingdom

will be isolated and marginalised within the European Union. I don't

think it is good for jobs in the City or elsewhere. It's not good

for growth or for families. Prime Minister and his deep pi both

wanted to protect Britain's -- deputy both wanted to protect. And

Conservative Euro-sceptics who kept a Prime Minister on too tight a

leesh. I hear about the bulldog spirit. There's nothing bulldog

about Britain hovering in the mid- Atlantic, not standing tall in

Europe, not being taken serious in Washington. Nick Clegg had been

criticised by some in his own party for not being more outspoken sooner.

The Foreign Secretary believes coalition tensions can be overcome.

Certainly there are differences between parties in a coalition, on

a subject like this. As we always have, over the last 18 months, we

work through those things, to a common position.

Privately the Lib Dem leadership and the Conservatives say the

coalition won't be allowed to fall apart over Europe. Today, the

Labour leader tried to deepen the divide by saying he agreed with

Nick. I agree with Nick Clegg this is a bad deal for Britain because

we are going to have 26 countries going ahead without us in the room.

Us excluded from key economic decisions and frankly David Cameron

has mishandled this badly. European Union will not break up as

a result of the negotiations in Brussels and the coalition won't

either. The tensions within each are set to increase.

What is your assessment of how this debate is going to develop?

focus tomorrow will be here at Westminster, where David Cameron

has to give an account of what he did and didn't do in Brussels to

MPs. He is likely to get a big welcome from many of his Euro-

sceptic backbenchers, but not an unqualified welcome. Some will say

let's rest back more powers from Brussels. Some will suggest it is

time for a referendum and rewrite the relationship with the EU. He'll

get criticism from some Lib Dem backbenchers for isolating Britain

in Europe. What is interesting tonight is both party leaderships

say the coalition will not fall apart. There is a sense that they

are giving each other enough space to express themselves in the line

which will appeal to their own backbenchers. Is that workable, do

you think? It will told the -- hold the coalition together. David

Cameron will come under attack from the Labour Party. They said they

try to protect financial interests, however that is less likely to

happen because effectively we have 26 countries in the EU doing one

thing and Britain doing another. Those 26 countries get together

they might just decide to impose through a qualified majority voting.

Through their majority impose regulations on the City. Therefore

David Cameron would have failed TCBI are concerned about that. They

want more -- the CBI are concerned about that. They want more on that.

It is what happens on the markets and whether all the other eurozone

countries, all the others in the EU have got together last week and

make a strong enough deal to stabilise the euro. That will have

big knock-on consequences for the British economy. Thank you.

A last-minute deal aimed at tackling climate change has been

agreed at the conference in South Africa. Delegates pledged to work

towards a new accord which would get all the countries to legally

binding on emissions in 2020. A huddle in the conference hall. The

key powers very tense. America resisting joining a climate treaty

unless China does too. China itself weary. India, unwilling to be tied

into a legally-binding commitment. In the end, they got there.

Seeing no objection, it's so decided. 36 hours late. Relief

among many with a new agreement. This is how the deal looks - a new

global treaty by 2020, limiting greenhouse gases. It will include

China, India and America. It will have legal force. Though that is

not defined. We have managed to bring the major emitters, like the

United States and India and China into a road map which will secure

the deal. The pressure had come from the most

vulnerable nations. The treaty won't come as fast as they would

like. India, with hundreds of millions still below the poverty

line worries about restraining its development. The United States is

in no rush either. Climate change is a toxic issue there. Getting a

new treaty on greenhouse gases will involve difficult challenges. For

the first time it is recognised there is a gap between pledges to

reduce emissions and the cuts scientists say are needed T scale

of cuts - who should make them and by when still has to be decided.

Previous promises of road maps leading to agreements have been

delayed or broken. We met mid-way. Of course we're not

completely happy about the outcome. We feel it lacks balance. So they

have agreed a pathway to cutting global emissions, but there's not

much urgency about it. In a BBC interview Pakistan's Prime

Minister has admitted his country and the United States no longer

trust each other. Relations have spiralled downwards since a NATO

airstrike killed 24 Pakistani soldiers near the Afghan border

last month. Today Prime Minister Gilani refused to rule out closing

airspace to the United States. This report does contain some

flashing images. The funerals last month of 24

Pakistani troops, killed by NATO aircraft. Pakistan claimed this was

a deliberate attack. It is still grieving, still angry at the US.

When we met the Prime Minister, Yousaf Raza Gilani, he was blunt

about the cracks in the relationship.

Yes there is a credibility gap. We are working together and still we

don't trust each other. I think we have to improve our relationship,

so that, for the better results, we shall have more confidence in each

other. You have not had an apology from President Obama, are you angry

about that? Sorry does not make a dead man alive, therefore we want

to set new rules of engagement and population, with the United States.

Until those new rules are written, the relationship is at a standstill,

so are NATO convoys carrying supplies for Afghanistan. The Prime

Minister told us today it could be weeks before Pakistan lets them

cross the border. CIA drone strikes could be another

casualty. Will you try and stop the Americans carrying out drone

attacks here. If there is any information passed on to Pakistan,

I think it should be left to Pakistan to take any action.

Prime Minister sought to downplay concerns about the health and

political prospects of Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari, who

left the country for medical treatment this week. He is

improving. He's now out of ICU. He has been shifted to his room. I

think he'll take rest for about two weeks.

The President's sudden trip to this Dubai hospital sparked feverish

speculation about his future. Even talk of a quiet coup by the

powerful military. The Prime Minister denied the generals were

calling the shots. What about the role of the Army, which these days

seems to be powerful. Some suggest more powerful than the civilian

Government? Maybe there's a perception. Can you honestly say

that the civilian Government has the upper hand rather than the

military? We don't want to have an upper hand. There's no pressure

come from the Army for the President's departure? No, not at

all. President Zardari, seen here in April, is under pressure on

several fronths. Some here believe this -- fronts. Some here believe

this could be the beginning of a gradual exit from power.

Syrian activists say there has been heavy fighting between security

forces and soldiers who have defected to the opposition. It is

reported that dozens of new army defectors have been fighting tank-

backed forces loyal to the Government in Busra al-Hariri in

Deraa. In Russia, President Medvedev has ordered an

investigation into allegations of fraud during last week's

parliamentary elections. The Russian President made the

announcement on Facebook today, after tens of thousands of people

had rallied in Moscow and other cities on Saturday. It was the

largest anti-Government protest in Russia's post Soviet history.

A report about to be released by the Financial Services Authority is

set to be highly critical of its own role in the run-up to the

collapse of the Royal Bank of Scotland three years ago. The

report says staff at the City regulator lacked the skills to

monitor companies as complex as RBS. ABN AMRO was a Deutsche Bank which

almost chanced the entire British banking system. An RBS consortium

paid �49 billion in 2007 for it, only to discover the assets were

almost worthless. Now a comprehensive report from the FSA

and two City grand dees is said to be highly critical of the banking

watchdog, as well as the previous management at RBS. The BBC has

learnt the 500-page report out tomorrow, will describe the FSA as

inadequate and deefficient -- deficient. The report will say many

of the FSA's own staff lacked the required skills to properly monitor

whether banks were in financial good health or not. And they failed

to notice in 2007 that Britain's banks were holding insufficient

capital or reserves for the emergency which was about to happen

a year later. They had ten large banks to supervise. By tend of the

crisis there were only five left. This was an appalling story of

neglect by the regulator and thoroughly justifies this

Government's decision to put banking supervision back with the

Bank of England. Ll the FSA refused to comment it is understood that

the regulator will say that the blame must lay with the bank's

management and not simply the regulator. This building used to

belong to ABN AMRO before RBS bought the bank. It is to say that

ABN AMRO was of such signifsapbs that the regulator should have

taken a hands-on or intrusive approach to the deal. They didn't,

the deal went ahead now RBS is all but nationalised.

The organisers of the Queen's jubilee river pageant have

deskriened the -- have revealed the design of the Royal Barge. It will

be made out of the Spirit of Chartwell. It will be decked out in

red and gold for the pageant. Time now for the day's sports news.

Hello. Good evening. The British boxer Amir Khan is demanding a

rematch after losing his two light welterweight titles in

controversial circumstances. Khan was docked points by the referee.

It proved crucial in his defeat to the American Lamont Peterson.

In Washington Amir Khan confronted the politics of boxing's home town

decision. His op popbtd, Lamont Peterson, grew up on DC's --

opponent, Lamont Peterson grew up on DC's mean streets. In the

seventh now, watch Khan's forearm shove. The referee saw it and told

the judges to deduct a point from Khan's score T boxing was often raw,

but thrilling. At times Khan seemed dominant. In the final round, enter

the referee, again telling the judges to take a point from Khan.

This time he had thrown a punch after being told to break. 1 rounds,

then a long wait for the -- 12 rounds, then a long wait for the

scores. That was a disgusting decision.

A rematch is something I'm looking at. I want it next fight. I want my

two titles back. We know who won that fight. I am sure everybody

else knows. The record said Khan lost. Grudges about judges change

nothing. Boxing's lessons are often the hardest learnt. The British

golfer Luke Donald has made history today, becoming the first man to

top the US and European money lists in the same season. Donald shot a

66 to finish third in the Dubai World Championship, three shots

behind Alvaro Quiros and second- placed Paul Lawrie. Rory McIlroy

could have prevented him completing the double by finishing the event.

It feels amazing. It's something I thought about quite a lot. I don't

think it has sunk in yet. I'll look back at this year as being my

greatest year for sure. Hopefully I can continue to improve.Vy a lot to

achieve in this game. This is something I'll never forget. Now it

is that time to look away if you don't want to know the results.

Match of the Day 2 follows the news over on BBC Two. Martin O'Neill

enjoyed a thrilling start to life as the new Sunderland manager. He

watched his side come from 1-0 down and scored twice with just minutes

left to beat Blackburn 2-1. Ten-man Tottenham lost for the first time

in 12 league matches. The final of snooker's UK

championship is coming to a conclusion over on BBC Two, with

England's Judd Trump leading Mark Allen by nine frames to seven.

Trump needs one more frame to win the tournament. It would be his

first major title. Allen has mounted a fight back, first to ten

-- first to ten frames wins. That's all the sport.
