:00:27. > :00:32.Good afternoon. A US court has ordered Samsung to pay Apple more
:00:32. > :00:37.than �650 million in damages, for infringing intellectual property.
:00:37. > :00:42.The jury decided that several Samsung devices copied critical
:00:42. > :00:47.features of the iPhone and iPad. The case was seen as the the most
:00:47. > :00:52.important of a number of patent disputes between the two companies.
:00:52. > :00:57.Question, what is the difference between Samsung's galaxy phones,
:00:57. > :01:01.and the iPhone? Answer, not enough. According to a US court, which
:01:01. > :01:07.ruled Samsung illegally copied ideas from Apple, for its
:01:07. > :01:11.smartphones and tablets. Samsung was ordered to pay more than �600
:01:11. > :01:15.million in damages. It is likely to appeal but says consumers will lose
:01:16. > :01:19.out. Experts agree. They stand to lose in terms of the choices of
:01:19. > :01:23.products in the market, the choices of features they can look at and
:01:23. > :01:27.price. When companies spend this kind of money on global battle,
:01:27. > :01:32.they have less to spend on innovation, and it is the consumer
:01:32. > :01:36.who loses. The court room drama here in California is the latest
:01:36. > :01:45.round in a global battle between Apple and Samsung over intellectual
:01:45. > :01:49.property and their share of the more than �100 billion world market.
:01:49. > :01:54.Apple may ask a judge to ban Samsung products from the US, that
:01:54. > :01:57.would be a major blow. Either way, this ruling puts Apple in a
:01:57. > :02:05.stronger position against competitors, in the crowded market
:02:05. > :02:09.place for must have gadgets. A head teacher's union has confirmed it is
:02:09. > :02:13.considering legal action, after claiming some GCSE papers were
:02:13. > :02:16.marked too harshly. The association of schools and college leaders said
:02:16. > :02:21.grade boundrys changed between January and June. Up to 10 thousand
:02:21. > :02:29.nuems may have been affected, according to the Centre for
:02:30. > :02:33.Education and Employment Research. -- pupils. After the big day, the
:02:33. > :02:37.disappointment for those who may have missed out on the grades they
:02:37. > :02:42.were expecting. And now, the row over this year's English GCSEs
:02:42. > :02:45.could be heading for the law courts. Some councils and the association
:02:45. > :02:49.representing most secondary head teachers are considering taking
:02:49. > :02:52.legal action against the exams regulator Ofqal, over late changes
:02:52. > :02:56.to grade boundarys that meant some pupils ended up with lower grades
:02:56. > :03:00.than expected. There are calls for the Education Secretary Michael
:03:00. > :03:06.Gove to take action. The Secretary of State should be taking immediate
:03:06. > :03:10.action, given the outcry that has come out with these results. But we
:03:10. > :03:14.will gather the information, examine the information, talk to
:03:14. > :03:17.legal people, and work in conjunction with other
:03:17. > :03:20.organisations, such as the academies trust, in order to see
:03:20. > :03:26.whether it is appropriate to take legal action. The association is
:03:26. > :03:32.carrying out a survey on line of all of it schools. It is backing an
:03:32. > :03:37.investigation into which background the pupils who missed out came from.
:03:37. > :03:42.We... The Education Secretary has been coming under pressure from
:03:42. > :03:46.groups. It says pupils who sat exam papers this summer were marked more
:03:46. > :03:51.harshly than those who took them in the winter. Colleagues have sat the
:03:51. > :03:54.exam in January and got a C grade on a particular mark, and when they
:03:54. > :04:02.find themselves sitting the exam, what, five months later, and they
:04:02. > :04:09.get a D grade, that seems really unfair P The example regulator
:04:09. > :04:13.Ofqal has defended marking. The French President Francois Hollande
:04:13. > :04:18.has said Greece must stay in the eurozone. He was speaking after
:04:18. > :04:22.talks with the Greek Prime Minister in Paris. Our correspondent is in
:04:22. > :04:26.Athens. Mr Samaras, be he will reassured by what the French
:04:26. > :04:30.President hased to to say? The tone of the French President Francois
:04:30. > :04:34.Hollande today, was strong, he said the question should no longer be
:04:35. > :04:39.asked Greece is in the eurozone, it must stay in the eurozone. I think
:04:39. > :04:42.the Greek Prime Minister will take comfort from that. There are
:04:42. > :04:47.caveats. Francois Hollande said Greece must prove its credibility
:04:47. > :04:50.and commitment. One thing he said seems to chime with Mr Samaras. He
:04:50. > :04:56.said Greece must show its willingness to go the whole
:04:56. > :05:00.distance but in a bearable way. That would reinforce the argument
:05:00. > :05:05.that Greece need some breathing room. We will have to wait for
:05:05. > :05:08.several weeks to find out whether Greece achieves that based on the
:05:08. > :05:13.findings of the international inspectors. But if Greece does not
:05:13. > :05:15.get that, if they do not get the extra time, really he will face a
:05:15. > :05:18.big backlash here in Greece, because the Prime Minister will be
:05:18. > :05:23.seen to have broken one of his campaign pledges, to achieve that
:05:23. > :05:29.extra time, and it will embolden the left-wing anti-bail out
:05:29. > :05:33.opposition here. Mr Samaras could look, could be seen to be weak in
:05:33. > :05:38.his premiership and face months of destabilising social unrest from a
:05:38. > :05:44.nation that is buckling under the weight of austerity. A Tropical
:05:44. > :05:48.Storm has hit the coast of Haiti bringing rain and high winds. The
:05:48. > :05:53.US National Hurricane Centre said Tropical Storm Isaac had moved

:06:11. > :06:16.storement to mark the start of the Paralympic relay in Northern
:06:16. > :06:22.Ireland. Our correspondent was watching. Another moment of history,
:06:22. > :06:25.at Stormont. Dozens came out in the rain to see the Paralympic flame
:06:25. > :06:30.arrive at Northern Ireland's seat of Government. A veteran
:06:30. > :06:33.Paralympian with seven medals to her name had the honour of lighting
:06:33. > :06:40.it. I just can't believe that the Paralympics have come to the UK,
:06:40. > :06:43.and that we are hear in Stormont. - - here in Stormont. It is lit and I
:06:43. > :06:49.know it will keep burning for many years to come. And this is where
:06:49. > :06:53.the flame was kindled. The top of Northern Ireland's highest mountain

:06:58. > :07:01.challenge, but after a few attempts the flints produced fire. It was
:07:02. > :07:07.one act of endeavour in anticipation of many to come in the
:07:08. > :07:12.Paralympics. At Stormont, there was a real sense of expectancy. It is
