:00:08. > :00:12.David Cameron says there was no grand deal between his government

:00:12. > :00:15.and News Corp over the BSkyB takeover. But the Prime Minister

:00:15. > :00:25.insists he will sack his Culture Secretary if it's proven he broke

:00:25. > :00:27.

:00:27. > :00:31.ministerial rules. I don't do it my responsibilities. If that has

:00:31. > :00:33.happened I will act. A British charity worker is found

:00:33. > :00:36.dead three months after he was taken hostage in Pakistan.

:00:36. > :00:45.Police catch the man wanted in connection with two murders in the

:01:05. > :01:07.David Cameron has denied he entered into a grand deal with the Murdoch

:01:07. > :01:12.family to protect their media interests in return for political

:01:12. > :01:16.support. But the Prime Minister did admit he was embarrassed by some of

:01:16. > :01:18.his contacts with News Corporation. Speaking to the BBC, he insisted he

:01:18. > :01:22.doesn't currently believe his Culture Secretary broke the code

:01:22. > :01:29.for ministers in his dealings with the company. But the Prime Minister

:01:29. > :01:37.said he would act if it turns out Jeremy Hunt, acted improperly. Our

:01:37. > :01:43.political correspondent reports. The Prime Minister says all

:01:43. > :01:46.politicians got too close to Rupert Murdoch, but just how close was he?

:01:46. > :01:52.David Cameron has come under pressure about his dealings with

:01:52. > :01:56.News Corp. What I recall at that dinner. Today he admitted he wanted

:01:56. > :02:02.to win the support of many media organisations, but denied there was

:02:02. > :02:06.an unspoken arrangement to help the Murdoch empire in exchange for

:02:06. > :02:11.favourable coverage. Why has there are some big agreement between me

:02:11. > :02:15.and Rupert Murdoch or James Murdoch, that in return for support for the

:02:15. > :02:21.Conservative Party, I would help their business interests, or allow

:02:21. > :02:28.this merger to go through? It is not true. I will be handing over

:02:28. > :02:31.all of my private text messages and e-mails to my special adviser.

:02:31. > :02:35.Culture Secretary has faced calls to resign, because of the contacts

:02:36. > :02:41.his special adviser had with News Corp when it was attempting to take

:02:41. > :02:47.over BSkyB. He insisted he acted with total integrity Terry. Was

:02:47. > :02:52.David Cameron are still backing his minister 100%? I think he does a

:02:52. > :03:01.good job. He is doing an excellent job on the Olympics. Frankly, I do

:03:01. > :03:06.think in this thing, people deserve to have these things looked into

:03:06. > :03:10.properly. We have to have a sense of natural justice were people can

:03:10. > :03:15.explain their actions. It somebody has a reach the ministerial code

:03:15. > :03:19.badly, they cannot stay in the Government. Jeremy Hunt will be

:03:19. > :03:24.explaining himself at the Leveson Inquiry in around the two weeks.

:03:24. > :03:29.But Labour say they should be a separate investigation into whether

:03:29. > :03:31.ministerial rules were broken. is evident Jeremy Hunt broke the

:03:31. > :03:38.ministerial code. The longer the Prime Minister does not do anything,

:03:38. > :03:42.the more it looks as though he is in breach of the ministerial code.

:03:42. > :03:47.David Cameron says he will decide if Jeremy Hunt has breached the

:03:47. > :03:53.code or not, once he has heard the evidence. He says he won't duck his

:03:53. > :03:59.responsibilities. As things stand, I don't believe Jeremy hands breach

:03:59. > :04:06.the ministerial code. If evidence comes out, that is a different

:04:06. > :04:09.issue and I would act. Leveson Inquiry is attempting to get at the

:04:09. > :04:14.truth at the links between politicians and the press. David

:04:14. > :04:20.Cameron will say under oath, he did not shake Government policies to

:04:20. > :04:24.suit any media moguls. Ben, joins us from Downing Street.

:04:24. > :04:28.The Prime Minister seems to have changed his position slightly on

:04:28. > :04:32.his Culture Secretary? Downing Street have been stung by the

:04:32. > :04:36.accusations they have faced, that somehow the Leveson Inquiry was

:04:36. > :04:41.being used as a delaying tactic or cover up when it came to Jeremy

:04:41. > :04:45.Hunt. They feel it was important the Prime Minister came out and

:04:45. > :04:50.said, he would act if there was any damaging evidence that was to

:04:50. > :04:54.emerge against the culture secretary. Downing Street have

:04:55. > :04:59.maintained all along Jeremy Hunt has done nothing wrong. The Prime

:04:59. > :05:03.Minister is making it clear, if he does act it will be ones that

:05:03. > :05:06.Jeremy Hunt has given his evidence to the Zawadi Alba Choir in the

:05:06. > :05:16.next couple of weeks, and won't wait until the whole inquiry is

:05:16. > :05:16.

:05:16. > :05:21.over. -- Leveson Inquiry. And it is safety's sake the dealings with the

:05:21. > :05:25.meat -- Murdoch empire go beyond the fate of one minister. David

:05:25. > :05:30.Cameron may face tough questions when he goes before the inquiry.

:05:30. > :05:33.How damaging is this for the Government? It is another battle

:05:33. > :05:38.they have to fight when they have been fighting on so many fronts

:05:38. > :05:42.over the last few weeks. There is an opinion poll which puts the

:05:42. > :05:46.Tories 11 points behind Labour. It is just one opinion poll, but we

:05:46. > :05:50.have local elections coming up and there is no doubt the Government

:05:50. > :05:54.would be happier if people were talking about their long-term plans

:05:54. > :05:58.for the reform of welfare and paying off the deficit, and talking

:05:58. > :06:01.about Rupert Murdoch. The former Scottish First Minister

:06:01. > :06:05.Jack McConnell has announced he is taking legal action against News

:06:05. > :06:08.International over allegations of phone hacking.

:06:08. > :06:11.Lord McConnell said police have told him that his telephone number

:06:11. > :06:17.and those of his children, had been found in the notes of the private

:06:17. > :06:20.detective, Glenn Mulcaire, who worked for the News of the World.

:06:20. > :06:24.A British aid worker kidnapped in Pakistan earlier this year has been

:06:24. > :06:30.found dead. Khalil Dale worked for the International Red Cross. He'd

:06:30. > :06:32.been beheaded. His body was found by police in the western city of

:06:32. > :06:36.Quetta. The Foreign Secretary, William Hague, described the

:06:36. > :06:44.killing as a senseless and cruel act. From the capital Islamabad,

:06:44. > :06:49.Orla Guerin reports. The body of the 60-year-old aid

:06:49. > :06:54.worker is said to have been found here by the roadside, in the

:06:54. > :07:02.lawless city of Quetta. They say the Pakistan Taliban left a note

:07:02. > :07:06.identifying domains and saying they killed him. Doctor, Khalil Dale was

:07:07. > :07:11.a Muslim convert born in Manchester. He dedicated 30 years of his life

:07:11. > :07:16.to helping others, braving the risks of assignments in Afghanistan,

:07:16. > :07:23.Iraq and Somalia. He spoke of his traumatic experiences there in the

:07:23. > :07:28.early 90s, in a TV documentary. was overwhelmed, I had never seen

:07:28. > :07:36.anything like it. People had died of starvation, people with gunshot

:07:36. > :07:42.wounds. Young children, women, lying waiting to die. I remember

:07:42. > :07:47.one child coming and pleading with us, not to let her grandmother died

:07:47. > :07:51.because she was the only surviving member of her family. His concerns

:07:51. > :07:55.are others led him to Quetta, one of the most dangerous cities in

:07:55. > :08:02.Pakistan. Friends in Scotland are paying tribute to his bravery and

:08:02. > :08:10.commitment. I remember him as Ken, and he was a lovely person, devoted

:08:10. > :08:13.a caring for others less fortunate than himself. Spending time in war-

:08:14. > :08:20.torn countries where people were desperate. That was his role in

:08:20. > :08:24.life. He was abducted in January, just 200 metres from a Red Cross

:08:24. > :08:29.residence. The British Government said it worked closely with the Red

:08:29. > :08:34.Cross since then on the tireless efforts to secure his release.

:08:34. > :08:38.Tonight, colleagues remember him as a humble and tireless humanitarian.

:08:39. > :08:43.They said his killing was a huge loss for the people of Quetta, for

:08:43. > :08:47.whom he did so much. Police are questioning a 36-year-

:08:47. > :08:50.old man over the murders of two people in the North East of England.

:08:50. > :08:58.After a manhunt lasting several days, James Allen, was spotted by

:08:58. > :09:04.an off-duty officer in Leeds. Danny Savage reports.

:09:04. > :09:08.After days of public appeals for help in tracing this man, police

:09:08. > :09:13.arrested James Allen in Leeds this morning. After he was spotted by an

:09:13. > :09:19.off-duty officer, who was driving down this road on his way to work.

:09:19. > :09:23.He had his attention drawn to a man. He kept him under observation and

:09:23. > :09:27.requested assistance. The assistance arrived, there was a

:09:27. > :09:33.short chase and the man was detained. James Allen was wanted in

:09:33. > :09:39.connection with the deaths of two people. 81-year-old Colin

:09:39. > :09:44.Dunfield's body was found at his home in Middlesbrough. Julie

:09:44. > :09:47.Davison was discovered dead in her flat on Wednesday. Detectives have

:09:47. > :09:52.travelled from here and North Yorkshire to Leeds, to interview

:09:52. > :09:57.James Allen. They have renewed their appeal for people to check on

:09:57. > :10:00.friends, neighbours and relatives. People are concerned there could be

:10:00. > :10:05.other victims connected to this investigation who they do not yet

:10:05. > :10:10.know about. With that in mind, they want anyone who may have seen James

:10:10. > :10:19.Allen over the last week, to come forward with information stop they

:10:19. > :10:24.are still trying to build a clear picture of where he has been.

:10:24. > :10:30.It has emerged Dwain Chambers will be eligible to race at London 2012,

:10:30. > :10:34.after the British Olympic Association lost its case at the

:10:34. > :10:43.Court of Arbitration for Sport. He was subject to a lifetime ban after

:10:43. > :10:47.being found guilty of doping. But the ban has been overturned.

:10:47. > :10:49.Strong winds and heavy rain have been lashing large parts of England

:10:49. > :10:51.and Wales. Thousands of homes across South Wales, Oxfordshire and

:10:51. > :10:54.southern England are without electricity after trees and power

:10:54. > :10:57.lines were brought down. Gusts also brought down scaffolding in London.

:10:57. > :11:00.Flood alerts and warnings are in force in all parts of England and

:11:00. > :11:03.Wales, except the North West and Cumbria.

:11:03. > :11:05.Residents living in a block of flats in East London are being told

:11:05. > :11:08.they could have surface-to-air missiles positioned on their roof

:11:08. > :11:14.as part of security arrangements being considered ahead of the

:11:14. > :11:18.Olympic Games. The Ministry of Defence says the location is ideal,

:11:18. > :11:24.but insists that the site is just one of several being considered.

:11:24. > :11:27.Richard Lister went along to have a look.

:11:28. > :11:31.The Government has promised the biggest security operation in

:11:31. > :11:37.Olympic history. It said last year, anti- aircraft missiles could be

:11:37. > :11:41.part of the package. Now the MoD says it could place them at this

:11:41. > :11:46.East London apartment complex, a plan which would see a missile

:11:46. > :11:48.battery on the water tower and soldiers here around the clock.

:11:48. > :11:53.Residents have a seat Government leaflet saying theirs is the only

:11:53. > :11:59.suitable building in the area. did not think they would be placed

:11:59. > :12:04.on top of private residences. It creates a lot of fears, it is a

:12:04. > :12:09.massive inconvenience. Among the 700 people who live here, opinions

:12:09. > :12:13.are mixed. The Olympics is a special event in London. We need to

:12:13. > :12:17.make sure it is a secure events and we need to take every precaution to

:12:17. > :12:22.make sure there is no incidents. But there are, we are prepared for

:12:22. > :12:27.it. This is a substantial Victorian building, and the roof of the tower

:12:27. > :12:32.can take the weight. Not every modern London building can do that.

:12:32. > :12:37.But the key factor for the MoD was the location, and the Olympic Park

:12:37. > :12:41.is just over there. Anti- aircraft and missile batteries like these

:12:41. > :12:46.deployed near the Beijing Olympics have long been a feature of the

:12:46. > :12:50.modern Games. The question is where to put them. These green spaces in

:12:50. > :12:55.south London is an option, but built up areas are more

:12:55. > :12:58.controversial. The MoD needs to look at this again. At the very

:12:58. > :13:02.least explain to people what the security measures are and how their

:13:02. > :13:07.safety will be safeguarded and what the risks are to them. They have

:13:07. > :13:11.already been several Olympic security exercises and this week

:13:11. > :13:15.sees another. More than 13,000 service personnel will be on hand

:13:15. > :13:24.in the summer and there seems there could be a missile battery in

:13:24. > :13:29.London for the first time since World War II. Fernando Torres seems

:13:29. > :13:34.to have found his touch in front of goal. He scored his first hat-trick

:13:34. > :13:39.for the club. And Tottenham kept their hopes alive for the other

:13:39. > :13:44.European place with a 2-0 victory over Blackburn.

:13:44. > :13:49.Any worries at John Terry would be shunned came to nothing. He shook

:13:49. > :13:55.hands and Chelsea took about shaking QPR to the court. Rangers

:13:55. > :14:00.never recovered from receiving -- conceding within another -- minutes.

:14:00. > :14:04.The second followed within the first 15 minutes. John Terry, his

:14:04. > :14:08.way of apologising for being sent off against Barcelona. The

:14:08. > :14:16.adrenalin was still pulsing around Chelsea, particularly Fernando

:14:16. > :14:26.Torres. QPR's confidence down. Afford to zero and only 25 minutes

:14:26. > :14:29.gone. -- 4-0. It was to finish 6-1. Everyone is smiling at Chelsea

:14:29. > :14:33.these days, most importantly the owner.

:14:33. > :14:37.How different the mood has been at White Hart Lane. But Spurs seemed

:14:37. > :14:42.determined to put their recent troubles behind them. They had

:14:42. > :14:47.plenty of chances but it took Rafael Van der Vaart to force one

:14:47. > :14:51.over the line. Tottenham came close. William Gallas was the closest but

:14:51. > :14:57.failed to turn dominance into a commanding lead. They needed a

:14:57. > :15:07.moment of class. It came from their right back. Walker's goal reignite

:15:07. > :15:10.

:15:10. > :15:13.so the fight, but may have ended Blackburn's.

:15:13. > :15:17.Celtic proved they are worthy champions of the Scottish Premier
