Photographs of the Dutch of Cambridge sunbathing topless are

:00:10.:00:13.

published again, this time in an Irish newspaper. As the Royal

:00:13.:00:17.

couple continue their tour of south-east Asia, their spokesperson

:00:17.:00:20.

says publication is motivated by greed.

:00:20.:00:25.

The Taliban attack Camp Bastion in Afghanistan, where Prince Harry is

:00:25.:00:31.

based, two US marines are killed. And a dramatic last-ball victory

:00:31.:00:36.

for Hampshire over Warwickshire to to clinch the final trophy of the

:00:36.:00:46.
:00:46.:00:53.

Good evening. The Irish Daily Star has published photos of the Duchess

:00:53.:00:59.

of Cambridge sunbathing topless while on holiday in France. The

:00:59.:01:01.

photos originally featured in a French magazine and another

:01:01.:01:06.

publication in Italy is planning to carry them in the coming days.

:01:06.:01:09.

Tonight, the part-owner of the Irish Daily Star, Richard Desmond,

:01:09.:01:12.

said he was "very angry" about the decision to publish and was

:01:12.:01:17.

distancing himself from the paper. Our Royal correspondent Peter Hunt

:01:17.:01:20.

is following the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on their tour in

:01:20.:01:29.

Malaysia and sent this report. Even in a remote Borneo jungle,

:01:29.:01:33.

there's no escape. No matter how high the Royals climb. In William

:01:33.:01:39.

and Kate's case, it's more than 100 feet up in one of the world's

:01:39.:01:42.

oldest rainforests, but there's been little respite as they learned

:01:42.:01:46.

firsthand about conservation work here in this part of Malaysia.

:01:46.:01:50.

First, a French magazine invaded their privacy in a grow it ising

:01:50.:01:54.

fashion, -- grotesque fashion, they say, now also a newspaper much

:01:54.:02:01.

closer to home. The Irish Daily Star, part owned by Richard Desmond,

:02:01.:02:04.

printed the pictures, blanked out here, they featured in editions in

:02:04.:02:09.

sale in the Irish Republic, nowhere else. William and Kate's spokesman

:02:09.:02:13.

said the only motivation must have been greed. The tabloid's editor

:02:13.:02:18.

justified his actions. Kate Middleton is another of the

:02:18.:02:21.

fantastic line of celebrities that people are interested in their

:02:21.:02:27.

lives, whether it be Julia Roberts, whether it be Rihanna, that's what

:02:27.:02:32.

Kate Middleton is, she's not our future Queen. Fearing being sucked

:02:32.:02:37.

into a major row about the media and privacy, Richard Desmond's

:02:37.:02:40.

company in the UK has sought to distance itself from the actions of

:02:40.:02:44.

its Irish paper, a joint venture over twi insists it has no

:02:44.:02:50.

editorial control. We were frankly horrified when we found out. It's a

:02:50.:02:55.

disgraceful decision. It's totally flies in the face of privacy issues,

:02:55.:03:01.

of moral issues, of ethical issues, it's ridiculous. Later this evening

:03:01.:03:05.

Richard Desmond went further, condemning what has happened and

:03:05.:03:08.

making it clear he was taking immediate steps to close down the

:03:08.:03:14.

joint venture. A life of intense scrutiny is what

:03:14.:03:17.

lies ahead for Kate as a Royal. The couple are taking the French

:03:17.:03:20.

magazine to court to stop them using the pictures again. William

:03:20.:03:23.

and Kate must now decide what, if anything, to do about the Irish

:03:24.:03:27.

Daily Star. The couple will leave this country

:03:27.:03:33.

and head to two Tyne eSouth Pacific -- tiny South Pacific nations. The

:03:33.:03:37.

topless photos have dominated their thoughts. William and Kate don't

:03:37.:03:46.

want them to dominate the rest of their tour.

:03:46.:03:48.

Defence officials say they won't withdraw Prince Harry from

:03:48.:03:51.

Afghanistan despite last night's Taliban attack on the base where

:03:51.:03:54.

he's posted. Two US Marines died and several soldiers were wounded

:03:54.:03:57.

in the attack on the perimeter of Camp Bastion in Helmand. The

:03:57.:04:00.

Taliban claim they carried out the attack in response to an amateur

:04:00.:04:03.

US-made film mocking Islam, as Jonathan Beale reports.

:04:03.:04:10.

This video released by the Taliban claims to show the aftermath of the

:04:10.:04:13.

attack. With smoke rising from what's supposed to be one of the

:04:13.:04:18.

most heavily defended and secure military bases in Afghanistan. Camp

:04:18.:04:23.

Bastion, where thousands of US and British troops are based. It's also

:04:23.:04:28.

now home to Prince Harry, who arrived here just one week ago as

:04:28.:04:33.

an Apache helicopter pilot. Unlike in 2008 when he was last in Helmand,

:04:33.:04:38.

under a media blackout that was eventually broken, this time the

:04:38.:04:42.

Ministry of Defence has made his presence public. The Taliban have

:04:42.:04:46.

already said they will target him but NATO insists Captain Wales was

:04:46.:04:51.

never in any danger during the attack. The question now is how

:04:52.:04:56.

were insurgents able to penetrate such a fortified military base? The

:04:56.:05:00.

sprawling camp in Helmand is situated in the desert. It's

:05:00.:05:05.

surrounded by a fence, with surveillance equipment and guards.

:05:05.:05:09.

Around 20 insurgents launched their attack last night under the cover

:05:09.:05:14.

of darkness. A suicide bomber was used to breach the camp's wall.

:05:14.:05:19.

Taliban fighters then opened fire using machine-guns and grenades.

:05:19.:05:23.

Two American marines were killed. Buildings on the base were damaged,

:05:23.:05:27.

along with a number of US aircraft. Well, we always concerned and

:05:27.:05:34.

worried about the security of our soldiers and we look at our

:05:34.:05:38.

measures, security measures if they are appropriate, and we adopt them

:05:38.:05:43.

if required and we take certainly lessons learned from those attacks

:05:43.:05:47.

and implement those into a new procedures, if required.

:05:47.:05:50.

Taliban say this was their revenge for the film that sparked protests

:05:51.:05:55.

throughout the Islamic world. NATO had already warned its troops of

:05:55.:05:59.

the potential for violence, but this brazen attack will only

:05:59.:06:03.

heighten those security concerns. This appears to have been a

:06:03.:06:07.

carefully planned and co-ordinated attack, and the Taliban have warned

:06:07.:06:12.

there will be more. NATO says it's now reviewing the security of Camp

:06:12.:06:16.

Bastion, though it's understood that Prince Harry will stay for the

:06:16.:06:26.
:06:26.:06:26.

remainder of his four-month deployment.

:06:26.:06:29.

And tonight the Ministry of has announced the death of two soldiers

:06:29.:06:32.

from 3rd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment. The soldiers were shot

:06:32.:06:35.

and killed in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand province by a

:06:35.:06:38.

man wearing the uniform of the Afghan Local Police. Their families

:06:38.:06:43.

have been informed. One of the people allegedly

:06:43.:06:45.

involved in making the film mocking Islam has been questioned by

:06:45.:06:48.

federal officers in Los Angeles. It came as the demonstrations spread

:06:48.:06:50.

to Australia, where there were clashes between hundreds of

:06:50.:07:00.
:07:00.:07:02.

protestors and police at the US consulate in Sydney.

:07:02.:07:05.

A complaint against Sir Norman Bettison - which emerged following

:07:05.:07:07.

an independent panel report into the Hillsborough disaster - has

:07:07.:07:10.

been referred to the police watchdog. The Chief Constable of

:07:10.:07:12.

West Yorkshire Police will be investigated by the Independent

:07:12.:07:14.

Police Complaints Commission following disclosures about the

:07:14.:07:17.

conduct of officers investigating the tragedy. Sir Norman - who was a

:07:17.:07:19.

chief inspector with South Yorkshire at the time - said he

:07:19.:07:25.

welcomes the decision and has nothing to hide. Ben Ando is here

:07:25.:07:29.

now. What exactly is the specific complaint against Sir Norman and

:07:29.:07:34.

what reaction has there been? Norman Bettison was off duty at the

:07:34.:07:39.

time of the game but attended the match in Sheffield in 1989 and

:07:39.:07:41.

afterwards he was asked to look into what happened and what went

:07:41.:07:46.

wrong. Now, this week the the Hillsborough Independent Panel

:07:46.:07:49.

revealed statements were changed by senior officers in an effort to

:07:49.:07:54.

shift the blame on to Liverpool fans for the 96 deaths that occured.

:07:54.:07:57.

Some of the families claim Sir Norman was involved in a coverup.

:07:57.:08:00.

He's always said at no time did he change any statements or was he

:08:00.:08:04.

asked to change any statements. Now, today he has said that he welcomes

:08:04.:08:08.

this step. He said it's time this moved into a more formal and legal

:08:08.:08:14.

inquiry where it can be considered, analysed and fully assessed. Trevor

:08:14.:08:17.

Hicks who lost two daughters himself at Hillsborough, said the

:08:17.:08:20.

wheels of justice turning, he said, we will present evidence to the

:08:20.:08:23.

IPCC about what we know happened in the days and weeks after

:08:23.:08:26.

Hillsborough and he said he hopes Sir Norman will have action taken

:08:26.:08:35.

against him. Thank you.

:08:35.:08:38.

Three members of the same family have died after falling into a

:08:38.:08:41.

slurry tank in County Down. Fire and ambulance crews pulled two

:08:41.:08:44.

brothers, their father and sister from the pit at a farm just outside

:08:44.:08:46.

Hillsborough. The men were unconscious, but paramedics weren't

:08:46.:08:49.

able to revive them. The woman was taken to hospital where she's being

:08:49.:08:55.

treated for fume inhalation. Thousands of protesters have

:08:55.:08:57.

marched through the Russian capital, Moscow, in the first big opposition

:08:57.:09:00.

rally against President Putin for three months. They shouted anti-

:09:00.:09:03.

Putin slogans and demanded freedom for three women from the punk band

:09:03.:09:06.

Pussy Riot who were jailed in August for mocking the president in

:09:06.:09:09.

a song performed at Moscow's main cathedral. This report from Daniel

:09:09.:09:19.
:09:19.:09:20.

Sandford. They filled Moscow's historic boulevards. And shouted

:09:20.:09:26.

"rufrbia -- Russia without Putin", this city tradly empty for the

:09:26.:09:29.

summer, but with the holidays over the protesters are back. And they

:09:29.:09:34.

are still calling for an early end to Vladimir Putin's third

:09:34.:09:41.

presidency. We don't like Putin. want our country to be free. We

:09:41.:09:48.

want our people to be free. jailing for two years of three

:09:48.:09:52.

members of the punk protest group Pussy Riot is one of the newer

:09:53.:09:57.

grievances of the demonstraters. Once again, Moscowites have come

:09:57.:10:01.

out in tens of thousands to protest and once again they've been met by

:10:01.:10:10.

a show of force from the police. Held aloft on the march the

:10:10.:10:14.

silhouettes of 11 protesters who could not be there, all are in

:10:14.:10:22.

prison after taking part in a similar demonstration in May. This

:10:22.:10:26.

represented one, the father of a young son, Andre, his wives had

:10:26.:10:33.

been caring for Andre by herself for three months now while he sits

:10:33.:10:38.

in jail. It's a huge mistake when people like him are kept in prison

:10:38.:10:41.

because it only creates a wave of protest against innocent people

:10:41.:10:45.

being locked soup cruelly. -- locked up so cruelly. Ever since

:10:45.:10:49.

Vladimir Putin returned in May, there's been an obvious clampdown

:10:49.:10:57.

on the protest movement. But people still defiantly return to the

:10:57.:11:01.

streets. Vladimir Putin's spokesman dismissed today's demonstration,

:11:01.:11:05.

saying he was too busy with more important things to pay much

:11:05.:11:15.
:11:15.:11:18.

attention to it. The man expected to become the next

:11:18.:11:21.

president of China, Xi Jinping, has made his first public appearance

:11:21.:11:24.

for nearly two weeks. State media said Mr Xi - who's currently vice-

:11:24.:11:27.

president - attended an event to mark a national science day. His

:11:27.:11:30.

unexplained absence has caused intense speculation. Our China

:11:30.:11:34.

correspondent, Damian Grammaticas, is in Beijing now. Is this

:11:34.:11:40.

appearance likely to end that speculation then? It will end some

:11:40.:11:43.

of the speculation, I think. But remember this is the man who was

:11:44.:11:47.

expected to be elevated in a few weeks' time to become the new

:11:47.:11:51.

leader of China's Communist Party, which will then appoint him

:11:51.:11:56.

President. But the party is very, very secretive and it said nothing,

:11:56.:12:00.

gave no explanation for his disappearance over the past two

:12:00.:12:03.

weeks, it's given no explanation now about what happened. He

:12:03.:12:06.

cancelled meetings with foreign leaders, people like Hillary

:12:06.:12:09.

Clinton. There have been widespread rumours he may have had serious

:12:09.:12:13.

health problems, a heart attack, liver cancer. Even he might have

:12:13.:12:17.

been targeted by political enemies in some sort of attack. Now he

:12:17.:12:22.

appeared today smiling, looking relaxed, so his health doesn't seem

:12:22.:12:25.

to be badly affected. But the questions will remain. If he is

:12:25.:12:28.

going to run this, the world's second biggest economy for the next

:12:28.:12:32.

ten years, that's a gruelling job, does he have underlining serious

:12:32.:12:37.

health issues? The other thing that remains is more questions about the

:12:37.:12:42.

political situation here, because we have no date yet for the party

:12:42.:12:48.

Congress in a few weeks and that signals there is still big

:12:48.:12:50.

political disputes behind the scenes that a President will have

:12:50.:12:55.

to deal with, as well. Thank you very much.

:12:55.:13:04.

The sport now. Good evening, the Premier League

:13:04.:13:07.

made its return after the international break. Match of the

:13:07.:13:10.

Day is straight after the news with all the goals from today's eight

:13:10.:13:14.

matches. But I've got the scores coming up, so if you don't want to

:13:14.:13:17.

know them, then you should know what to do. The result of the day

:13:17.:13:20.

came at the Emirates as Arsenal thrashed Southampton 6-1. Lukas

:13:20.:13:23.

Podolski with the best of their goals. Saints are yet to get a

:13:23.:13:26.

point this season. Manchester United are up to second in the

:13:26.:13:29.

table after a 4-0 win at home to Wigan. Paul Scholes scored on his

:13:29.:13:33.

700th appearance for the club. Anton ferdinand refused to shake

:13:33.:13:37.

John Terry's hand at Loftus Road as the two came face to face for the

:13:37.:13:40.

first time since the Chelsea captain was cleared in court of

:13:40.:13:42.

racially abusing the QPR defender in the same fixture last season.

:13:42.:13:45.

Ferdinand also refused Ashley Cole's hand. Cole had testified as

:13:45.:13:51.

a character witness for Terry in court. That match finished 0-0.

:13:51.:13:54.

Elsewhere, there was a first win of the season for Aston Villa. Dimitar

:13:54.:13:57.

Berbatov scored twice on his home debut as Fulham beat West Brom 3-0.

:13:57.:14:00.

The Champions, Manchester City, could only draw at Stoke and it was

:14:00.:14:06.

also 1-1 between Sunderland and Liverpool. The champions Celtic

:14:06.:14:09.

slipped up against St Johnstone in the Scottish Premier League. Saints

:14:09.:14:13.

came from behind to win 2-1. Rowan Vines' first goal for the club,

:14:13.:14:16.

giving them their first win over Celtic at MacDiarmid Park in 13

:14:16.:14:20.

years. It also lifted them off the foot of the table.

:14:21.:14:25.

Motherwell are still top, they won at Dundee, who are now bottom.

:14:25.:14:28.

There were also wins for Hibs and St Mirren. Inverness drew against

:14:28.:14:35.

Aberdeen. What a finish to Cricket's domestic season. It all

:14:35.:14:39.

went down to the final delivery at Lord's. But with the scores tied,

:14:39.:14:42.

Hampshire are the CB40 Champions by virtue of losing two wickets less

:14:42.:14:43.

than Warwickshire. Here's Alex South.

:14:43.:14:47.

It's felt felt appropriate the summer of sport ended in sunshine

:14:47.:14:52.

at the home of cricket. Michael car Perry was certainly enjoying it,

:14:52.:14:56.

setting a pace before he and his fellow opener fell to fine catchers.

:14:56.:15:01.

The scoring then slowed. Until the Captain Adams begrudgingly picked

:15:01.:15:05.

up the run rate. A slick innings steadied the ship before Irvine

:15:05.:15:10.

took up the charge. Every run would now count as Hampshire set a total

:15:10.:15:16.

of 244. It was Ian Bell who led the Bears

:15:16.:15:19.

reply. He brought a touch of class to match the occasion and while

:15:19.:15:24.

wickets fell around him, he kept a cool head to reach his half century.

:15:24.:15:28.

But, just when he looked to have it in control, his dismissal set up

:15:28.:15:33.

the tightest of finales. It came down to the last ball of the last

:15:34.:15:37.

over of the season. Warwickshire needed just one to win.

:15:37.:15:40.

But couldn't get it. Hampshire winning by the smallest

:15:40.:15:47.

of margins. Camelot has failed to complete

:15:47.:15:50.

racing's Triple Crown. He had already won the 2000 Guineas and

:15:50.:15:53.

Derby this year but could only finish second at Doncaster today

:15:53.:15:56.

with Encke winning the St Leger. Nijinsky is the last horse to

:15:56.:16:06.

secure the rare treble back in 1970. That's all the sport. Just time to

:16:06.:16:09.
