:00:23. > :00:25.Good evening. The exams regulator, Ofqual, is to look again at GCSE
:00:25. > :00:30.gradings amid claims that thousands of students have been treated
:00:30. > :00:40.unfairly. The move comes amid threats of legal action from local
:00:40. > :00:42.
:00:42. > :00:44.authorities and teachers. They are complaining that English entries
:00:44. > :00:46.were particularly unfair, with a change in grade boundaries between
:00:46. > :00:51.January and June in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. With more
:00:51. > :00:57.details, here's our deputy political editor, James Landale.
:00:57. > :01:04.Other class of 2012 paying the price for decades of grade
:01:04. > :01:09.inflation? Something so and one the results to be independently
:01:09. > :01:13.investigated and even tested in the courts. We are working with other
:01:13. > :01:17.organisations asking for urgent investigations. If we are not
:01:17. > :01:21.satisfied by the response we are determined to take this forward and
:01:21. > :01:26.we are looking at grounds for in legal Challenge, we feel so
:01:27. > :01:31.aggrieved about what has happened to these young people.
:01:31. > :01:38.Top-grade GCSE passes fell this year for the first time since 1986.
:01:38. > :01:44.In part because of tougher science exams. But teachers also believe
:01:44. > :01:47.that the goalposts were moved unfairly in English. Some pupils
:01:47. > :01:54.taking the exam at different times faced different standards, they
:01:54. > :01:59.claim. We're asking the secretary of state to take decisive action to
:01:59. > :02:03.move the situation forward. It is clear from the outcry that there is
:02:03. > :02:07.a significant problem. This afternoon the exams watchdog
:02:07. > :02:11.finally responded to this pressure and said in a letter, we are acting
:02:11. > :02:17.on these concerns and looking closely in the coming days at the
:02:17. > :02:23.detail of the grades and the boundary setting for English GCSEs.
:02:23. > :02:32.We become better writers if we are enthusiastic readers...
:02:32. > :02:36.education secretary has denied putting the watchdog under pressure.
:02:36. > :02:40.Universities and employers want these pupils to take exams that are
:02:40. > :02:43.rigorous and credible but their teachers also want to make sure
:02:43. > :02:51.that they're fairly tested. And James is in Westminster for us now,
:02:51. > :02:55.James. How significant is that decision was MAC I think it is
:02:55. > :03:03.significant for those parents and pupils up their food feel they have
:03:03. > :03:07.been treated unfairly especially concerning the English GCSEs.
:03:07. > :03:11.There's at least a chink of hope that the issue may be addressed and
:03:11. > :03:16.action taken. Politically it is significant because it takes a
:03:16. > :03:21.little pressure off the Education Secretary and the government.
:03:21. > :03:24.Something is now being done. The watchdog are having a look at it.
:03:24. > :03:31.But the Labour Party are still saying that they welcome the
:03:31. > :03:36.inquiry and it should be comprehensive and is still want an
:03:36. > :03:39.independent inquiry by MPs. Samsung has been ordered by a US
:03:39. > :03:44.court to pay Apple more than �650 million in damages for infringing
:03:44. > :03:48.intellectual property. A jury found that the South Korean
:03:48. > :03:52.firm copied critical features of its rivals iPhone and iPad.
:03:52. > :03:54.Samsung says it will appeal. As Dominic Laurie reports, the case is
:03:54. > :04:03.seen as the most important of a number of patent disputes between
:04:03. > :04:07.the two companies. No wonder the lawyer for Apple is
:04:07. > :04:13.smiling. In the complex world of patent law this was an unusually
:04:14. > :04:17.clear verdict that left the Samsung team frustrated.
:04:17. > :04:25.Might reaction to the ruling is that we're disappointed. Samsung
:04:25. > :04:33.says it plans to appeal. But far more serious about the patents,
:04:34. > :04:43.those governing how the smart phone works.
:04:44. > :04:44.
:04:44. > :04:50.Apple had claimed things like pinch to zoom. A hand these are
:04:51. > :04:54.fundamental to using a smart phone. The victory in California may worry
:04:54. > :05:00.some of Apple's competitors. It has already said it is seeking the ban
:05:00. > :05:05.on the import of several Samsung products into the United States. If
:05:05. > :05:09.they succeed, some models could be pulled from shelves around the
:05:09. > :05:19.mould -- around the world. It is a question many consumers will be
:05:19. > :05:23.concerned about. Apple really has led in the design area within the
:05:23. > :05:27.user interface. Now we will have to seek other vendors looking at
:05:27. > :05:31.design elements as well which means we will have multiple options
:05:31. > :05:38.coming forward. So it is good for the consumer. Sansom has said it
:05:38. > :05:42.will appeal with many commentators saying this is the most decisive
:05:42. > :05:44.judgment they have ever seen, they could be disappointed.
:05:44. > :05:47.Seven police officers have been injured in the aftermath of a
:05:47. > :05:50.loyalist parade near the centre of Belfast. Scuffles broke out after a
:05:50. > :05:54.band defied a ruling by the parades watchdog and marched past a
:05:54. > :05:56.Catholic Church. None of the officers were seriously hurt.
:05:56. > :05:58.The Greek prime minister, Antonis Samaras, and French president,
:05:58. > :06:04.Francois Hollande, have both said Greece will stay in the eurozone,
:06:04. > :06:06.after talks on the country's economic crisis in Paris. Greece is
:06:06. > :06:16.continuing to push for more time to implement major spending cuts in
:06:16. > :06:17.
:06:17. > :06:20.return for more European bailout money, as Mark Lowen reports.
:06:21. > :06:25.Till recently elected leaders on the opposite sides of the euro-zone
:06:25. > :06:29.spectrum. France, the strong economy, Greece the one in need.
:06:29. > :06:34.The press wanted more but there's little time for a photo opportunity
:06:34. > :06:38.when you're trying to solve the Greek crisis. The French President
:06:38. > :06:41.Francois Hollande said Greece must stay in the euro but warned Athens
:06:41. > :06:46.to commit to the spending cuts required by the bail-out. The Greek
:06:47. > :06:52.Prime Minister asked for more time to cut the deficit. France and
:06:52. > :06:56.Germany say that would depend on future progress.
:06:56. > :07:01.TRANSLATION: some people keep speculating that Greece will not
:07:02. > :07:07.make it. That they will not remain in the euro-zone. I came here to
:07:07. > :07:10.say that Greece will make it. The Greek president faces a
:07:10. > :07:14.daunting Challenge to cut deeper to secure the bail-out money while
:07:14. > :07:20.trying to buy time from Europe to lighten the austerity. If he does
:07:20. > :07:23.not get a concession, protests here will grow. The anti bail-out
:07:23. > :07:27.opposition will be strengthened and his government could start to look
:07:27. > :07:32.fragile. As a sturdy bikes, Greece buckles and businesses fear the
:07:32. > :07:38.worst. With record unemployment and growing poverty, this nation is
:07:38. > :07:46.feeling the heat. Our business is down 60%. We paid
:07:46. > :07:51.too much tax. Stoke the Way We Live Now is hard. There is anger
:07:51. > :07:55.bubbling here beneath the serene surface. Europe's patience with
:07:55. > :07:59.Greece is wearing thin and if the pain does not ease, this country's
:07:59. > :08:02.patience with its own government might soon run out.
:08:02. > :08:07.A tropical storm has hit the coast of Haiti, bringing lashing rain and
:08:07. > :08:09.high winds. Aid groups have warned of the extreme vulnerability of
:08:09. > :08:17.some 400,000 people still living in makeshift camps, following a
:08:17. > :08:19.devastating earthquake two years ago.
:08:19. > :08:23.Sport, and Warrington Wolves have won Rugby League's Challenge Cup
:08:24. > :08:27.final at Wembley this afternoon. They beat Leeds Rhinos by 35 points
:08:27. > :08:35.to 18 to lift the trophy for the third time in four years, as Drew
:08:35. > :08:42.Savage reports. Wembley is fast becoming the happy
:08:42. > :08:49.hunting ground for the Warrington Wolves. They have the firepower to
:08:49. > :08:52.rise to the showbiz occasion. There was a strong sense of deja Who when
:08:53. > :09:00.Warrington got the lead in the 7th minute. Leeds did their best to
:09:00. > :09:06.avoid history repeating itself and they briefly let. But the
:09:06. > :09:10.Warrington Wolves bit back soon afterwards through Trent Waterhouse.
:09:10. > :09:14.The game was still in the balance until Warrington came out and
:09:15. > :09:19.dominated the second half. Chris Riley had the first of three tuck -
:09:19. > :09:28.- tries in 10 minutes. And then a single point drop goal from their
:09:28. > :09:31.captain. Leeds Rhinos did respond but Warrington had already done
:09:31. > :09:37.enough for their third Challenge Cup win in four years. That winning
:09:37. > :09:39.feeling is a hard habit to break. In the Premier League, Swansea City
:09:39. > :09:44.continued their great start to the season, going top after the day's
:09:44. > :09:49.early kick off. They beat West Ham by 3 goals to nil, Danny Graham
