The Parliament was told it had to pass another austerity package | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
containing 3.3 billion euros of cuts in public sector jobs, | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
pensions and the minimum wage. Greece needs money the 4th 20 much | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
to meet debt repayments of up 14 billion euros. Greece is already | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
deep in recession with little hope of recovery. Frustration is quickly | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
boiling over. Once again, the Greek Parliament it is under siege. This | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
is what it takes to get unpopular laws passed in an age of austerity. | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
Every time this happens, it feels like this country is being pushed a | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
little closer to the edge. The social fabric is collapsing under | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
the weight of economic pain, and the eurozone a strategy for its own | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
economic survival is feeling the full force of public anger. | :03:47. | :03:55. | |
We can speak to Chris Morris in Athens now. What are the next | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
steps? The eurozone still wants written assurances from party | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
leaders no one will change their mind on this deal after elections | :04:03. | :04:11. | |
take place. Then in three days in Brussels, those ministers should | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
sign this bail-out agreement. Then there is what happens here. As we | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
have seen, passing laws is not necessarily the same as | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
implementing them. There will be a big debate on how severely the | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
viewer's own monitors what happens in Greece. Even though there has | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
been this extraordinary attention on this very small country, that | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
will continue. Things have improved, there's less panic across the | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
eurozone, no one can be quite sure if Greece goes down it won't pull | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
other countries down with it. Arab League has issued a statement | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
in Cairo, agreeing, for the first time, to begin contact with Syria's | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
opposition movement. The organisation has also suggested the | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
setting up of a joint peace keeping mission with the UN Security | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
Council to try to stop the ongoing bloodshed in Syria. Our Middle East | :05:02. | :05:12. | |

editor Jeremy Bowen sent this For the in Homs, the shelling | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
continues. The regime says what it is doing is | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
a legitimate operation against terrorists who want to destroy the | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
country. Many countries have condemned the killing, and the Arab | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
League says it holds the Syrian government responsible for what | :05:33. | :05:43. | |
could be crimes against civilians. In Cairo, the Saudi foreign | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
minister asked how long they would have to look at these pictures. His | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
fellow of Arab foreign ministers said they would ask the United | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
Nations to organise a peace keeping force, and deepen its ties with the | :05:58. | :06:07. | |
opposition. Representatives of the disunited Syrian opposition also | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
here in Cairo claimed the regime out would lead still strong is | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
collapsing within. First of all, the past three weeks, there were so | :06:16. | :06:23. | |
many arrests. The people, they were released after 24 hours. It means a | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
lot of the security apparatus is not with the regime 100%. In Syria, | :06:29. | :06:37. | |
the regime is showing of captured weapons, it may be relieved by the | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
public declaration of support by Al-Qaeda. This is the toughest | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
language used so far by the Arab League about the regime in Damascus. | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
There is a question about how much will turn into concrete action, | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
which depends on the Security Council. Everything that has | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
happened today is a sign of how isolated and increasingly | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
beleaguered President Bashar al- Assad has become. | :07:05. | :07:08. | |

Whitney Houston who died last night at a Los Angeles hotel. She was 48. | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
It was a voice which inspired a generation of stars, that made a | :07:33. | :07:42. | |
one of the world's best selling artists. But a career with 170 | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
million records, and countless awards choirs unravelled by her | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
addiction to drugs and alcohol. Today, a small tribute was left in | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
her memory outside their hotel in Beverly Hills where she died. | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
Paramedics were there within minutes of the alarm being raised | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
but could not revive her. It is not known what caused her death, some | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
speculate she was found in the bath. As yet there have been no details | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
from the coroner or her family. It was midnight when her body was | :08:12. | :08:22. | |
taken from the hotel. A last image of her -- of another icon, Michael | :08:22. | :08:27. | |

learned of the tragic news of our beloved Whitney Houston's passing. | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
Whitney Houston was last seen leaving a nightclub on the night | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
she died. Recently it had become obvious how her drug addiction was | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
affecting her, even destroying her voice. She admitted she was her own | :08:56. | :09:06. | |

Health Secretary Andrew Lansley over his controversial plans to | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
reform the National Health Service in England. David Cameron said he | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
was "at one" with Mr Lansley over the government's Health and Social | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
Care Bill. However, a senior Liberal Democrat has said it would | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
be better if Mr Lansley was moved on from his post. Our political | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
correspondent Carole Walker has the details. | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
The Prime Minister is making it plain there is no question of him | :10:11. | :10:14. | |

roots Conservative Home website claimed three Cabinet ministers had | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
raised concerns about the controversial changes to the NHS. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
Far from washing his hands of it all, David Cameron told the Sunday | :10:23. | :10:33. | |
:10:33. | :10:34. | ||
Other ministers voiced their support too. | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
I am not aware of any Cabinet minister that has expressed | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
reservations. You just said the Cabinet is united, that is not what | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
Conservative Home says. I am not aware of the workings of | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
Conservative Home, but I am aware of discussions around the Cabinet | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
table which have been very supportive of Andrew. Mr Lansley | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
was heckled in Scotland last week. Some Conservatives say he has | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
failed to explain his plans, and a senior Liberal Democrat said he | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
should be moved from his post. political judgment is, in the | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
second half of Parliament, it would be better to move on from the | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
battles over the bill. Have a different Health Secretary? Plans | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
to introduce more competition into the NHS and give GPs more control | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
over health care are opposed by many health bodies. The opposition | :11:26. | :11:36. | |
says the legislation should be dropped altogether. | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
overwhelming consensus of opinion among doctors, nurses, NHS staff, | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
also the sensible members of Mr Cameron's Cabinet, is it is better | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
for the NHS now to abandon this reorganisation and work back | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
through the existing structures of the NHS. The government faces | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
further battles to get its bills through the House of Lords. But | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
Downing Street say the Prime Minster is ready to take on his | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
critics, and challenged them to say how they would secure the future of | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
the NHS. Now, with all the sport's news, | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
here's Celina Hinchcliffe. The Liverpool footballer Luis | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
Suarez has apologised for not shaking hands yesterday with | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
Patrice Evra, the Manchester United player he was banned for racially | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
abusing. He said he realised that he had "got things wrong", but | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
under pressure from the American owners, Liverpool's managing | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
director said the club were "extremely disappointed" with his | :12:19. | :12:29. | |
:12:29. | :12:32. | ||
actions, as Andy Swiss reports. It was supposed to be the moment of | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
reconciliation, it was anything but. Luis Suarez's snub of Patrice Evra | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
prompted shock, anger and, 24 hours later, an apology. In a statement, | :12:41. | :12:51. | |
:12:51. | :12:55. | ||
Just as significant is a statement from Liverpool: The club have | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
always defended Suarez. But today, they said they were extremely | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
disappointed with him, that he had misled them by saying beforehand he | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
would shake hands. He has not only let himself down, they say, but | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
Kenny Dalglish, his team-mates and the club. His behaviour was not | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
acceptable. Dalglish himself also apologised for his post match | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
interview. You are bang out of order to blame Luis Suarez for | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
anything that happened to you today. A new spirit of contrition at | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
Anfield, and by Suarez in particular, was welcomed by the | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
fans. It is fair that he now apologised to the club, Liverpool, | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
and all the fans. I think it shouldn't have happened in the | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
first place. He should have shaken hands, end of story. Liverpool's | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
image has been dented. After four months of acrimony, the sport hopes | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
lessons have been learned. This isn't just Liverpool. We have to | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
make sure all senior people, players, at clubs, owners, really | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
buy into what we are trying to do. Manchester United said they | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
accepted the apology, and now wanted to move on. So will football, | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
after one of the sports ugliest sagas. | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
Manchester City are back at the top of the Premier League this evening. | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
A goal from Joleon Lescott was enough to give them a 1-0 victory | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
away at Aston Villa. They now lead their rivals Manchester United by | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
two points. In the day's only other game, West Brom thrashed Wolves 5-1. | :14:27. | :14:31. | |

track, after they beat Scotland 27- 13 at the Millenium Stadium in | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
Cardiff. It was just 3-3 at the break. But the Welsh took the game | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
with three tries in 14 minutes early in the second half. Leigh | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
Halfpenny scoring two of them, and getting 22 points in all. Alex | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
Cuthbert scored the other try. Wales join England at the top of | :15:07. | :15:16. | |
the Six Nations, both with two wins. The silent film The Artist has won | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
seven awards at tonight's BAFTAS, including best film, best director | :15:19. | :15:23. | |

As Buster Keaton would say... even won Best screenplay. I am very | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
surprised. So many people thought there was no script because there | :16:53. | :17:00. | |
was no dialogue! So, English people are very clever! Congratulations to | :17:00. | :17:08. | |
