Good afternoon. A US court has ordered Samsung to pay Apple more | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
than �650 million in damages, for infringing intellectual property. | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
The jury decided that several Samsung devices copied critical | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
features of the iPhone and iPad. The case was seen as the the most | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
important of a number of patent disputes between the two companies. | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
Question, what is the difference between Samsung's galaxy phones, | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
and the iPhone? Answer, not enough. According to a US court, which | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
ruled Samsung illegally copied ideas from Apple, for its | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
smartphones and tablets. Samsung was ordered to pay more than �600 | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
million in damages. It is likely to appeal but says consumers will lose | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
out. Experts agree. They stand to lose in terms of the choices of | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
products in the market, the choices of features they can look at and | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
price. When companies spend this kind of money on global battle, | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
they have less to spend on innovation, and it is the consumer | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
who loses. The court room drama here in California is the latest | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
round in a global battle between Apple and Samsung over intellectual | :01:36. | :01:45. | |
property and their share of the more than �100 billion world market. | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
Apple may ask a judge to ban Samsung products from the US, that | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
would be a major blow. Either way, this ruling puts Apple in a | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
stronger position against competitors, in the crowded market | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
place for must have gadgets. A head teacher's union has confirmed it is | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
considering legal action, after claiming some GCSE papers were | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
marked too harshly. The association of schools and college leaders said | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
grade boundrys changed between January and June. Up to 10 thousand | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
nuems may have been affected, according to the Centre for | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
Education and Employment Research. -- pupils. After the big day, the | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
disappointment for those who may have missed out on the grades they | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
were expecting. And now, the row over this year's English GCSEs | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
could be heading for the law courts. Some councils and the association | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
representing most secondary head teachers are considering taking | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
legal action against the exams regulator Ofqal, over late changes | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
to grade boundarys that meant some pupils ended up with lower grades | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
than expected. There are calls for the Education Secretary Michael | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
Gove to take action. The Secretary of State should be taking immediate | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
action, given the outcry that has come out with these results. But we | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
will gather the information, examine the information, talk to | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
legal people, and work in conjunction with other | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
organisations, such as the academies trust, in order to see | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
whether it is appropriate to take legal action. The association is | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
carrying out a survey on line of all of it schools. It is backing an | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
investigation into which background the pupils who missed out came from. | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
We... The Education Secretary has been coming under pressure from | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
groups. It says pupils who sat exam papers this summer were marked more | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
harshly than those who took them in the winter. Colleagues have sat the | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
exam in January and got a C grade on a particular mark, and when they | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
find themselves sitting the exam, what, five months later, and they | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
get a D grade, that seems really unfair P The example regulator | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
Ofqal has defended marking. The French President Francois Hollande | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
has said Greece must stay in the eurozone. He was speaking after | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
talks with the Greek Prime Minister in Paris. Our correspondent is in | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
Athens. Mr Samaras, be he will reassured by what the French | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
President hased to to say? The tone of the French President Francois | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
Hollande today, was strong, he said the question should no longer be | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
asked Greece is in the eurozone, it must stay in the eurozone. I think | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
the Greek Prime Minister will take comfort from that. There are | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
caveats. Francois Hollande said Greece must prove its credibility | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
and commitment. One thing he said seems to chime with Mr Samaras. He | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
said Greece must show its willingness to go the whole | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
distance but in a bearable way. That would reinforce the argument | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
that Greece need some breathing room. We will have to wait for | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
several weeks to find out whether Greece achieves that based on the | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
findings of the international inspectors. But if Greece does not | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
get that, if they do not get the extra time, really he will face a | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
big backlash here in Greece, because the Prime Minister will be | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
seen to have broken one of his campaign pledges, to achieve that | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
extra time, and it will embolden the left-wing anti-bail out | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
opposition here. Mr Samaras could look, could be seen to be weak in | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
his premiership and face months of destabilising social unrest from a | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
nation that is buckling under the weight of austerity. A Tropical | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
Storm has hit the coast of Haiti bringing rain and high winds. The | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
US National Hurricane Centre said Tropical Storm Isaac had moved | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
ashore west of the capital Port-au- Prince. Aid groups have warned of | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
the vulnerability of 400,000 people living in makeshift camps after the | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
earthquake in town 10. It is four days to go to the start of the | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
Paralympics and this morning a ceremonial cauldron was lit at | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
storement to mark the start of the Paralympic relay in Northern | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
Ireland. Our correspondent was watching. Another moment of history, | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
at Stormont. Dozens came out in the rain to see the Paralympic flame | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
arrive at Northern Ireland's seat of Government. A veteran | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
Paralympian with seven medals to her name had the honour of lighting | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
it. I just can't believe that the Paralympics have come to the UK, | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
and that we are hear in Stormont. - - here in Stormont. It is lit and I | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
know it will keep burning for many years to come. And this is where | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
the flame was kindled. The top of Northern Ireland's highest mountain | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
on Wednesday morning. The bad weather presented the scouts with a | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
challenge, but after a few attempts the flints produced fire. It was | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
one act of endeavour in anticipation of many to come in the | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
Paralympics. At Stormont, there was a real sense of expectancy. It is | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
about courage, bravery, promoting equality. That is the values of the | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
Paralympian, I mean their motto, want to succeed and if they can't | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
be brave in the attempt. People from various sports organisations | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
said they would never forget being part of the event. Everybody is | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
getting involved. It is amazing. will remember it when I am very old. | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
So the Paralympic flame is burning, for Northern Ireland, this will be | :07:33. | :07:37. |
