Lebanon's Government in crisis, as security forces clash with | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
protestors in Beirut. Demonstrators take to the streets after the | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
funeral of the assassinated security chief, demanding the | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
Government resign. The BBC's Panorama programme says | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
it has fresh evidence about the corporation's handling of the Jimmy | :00:29. | :00:36. | |
Savile child abuse allegations. A special church service for | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
victims of the Cardiff hit-and-run attack. Tonight, a man is charged | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
with murder. And another medal for the Brownlee brothers, as Jonny | :00:44. | :00:54. | |
:00:54. | :01:06. | ||
takes over from Alistair as the Good evening. Lebanon's political | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
crisis has deepened, as security forces clashed with protestors who | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
tried to storm Government buildings. Those attending the funeral of the | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
security chief took to the streets demanding the resignation of the | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
Government. Oppositions have blamed Syria for the attacks, which | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
followed months of rising tensions in the country. Our correspondent | :01:33. | :01:40. | |
has just sent this report. The Lebanese know too much about | :01:40. | :01:48. | |
public funerals and violent death. Their shared memory of civil war | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
has helped keep this fragmented, weak country together, but the | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
assassination of General Wissam al- Hassan, given full military honours | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
next totd the driver who died with him, is more than a personal | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
tragedy for his family. They saw him last in Paris, where he had | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
settled them for their own safety. Hours later, after he returned to | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
Beirut, he was killed. His assassination is the most serious | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
sign yet that Syria's civil war posed not just to Lebanon but to | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
all its neighbours. Lebanon's President said there should be no | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
cover-up. That comment matters, because Lebanon's Government has a | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
majority to supports the Syrian regime. | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
The funeral became a rally for the side of Lebanon that opposes it. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
They believe General al-Hassan was killed because he was investigated | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
plots to destabilise Lebanon. They linked his death to other | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
assassinations of prominent Lebanese opponents of the al- | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
Assad's. We demonstrate here against the terror which is going | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
on against the Lebanese people for the past seven years from the | :03:03. | :03:12. | |
Syrian regime. You hold Syria response for the death of General | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
al-Hassan? We are here to show solidarity and protest. Our leaders | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
are being killed, one after the other. We want the Government to | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
step back. Lebanon has too many religious and political links with | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
Syria to isolate itself from what is happening over the border. | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
Lebanon's Prime Minister has been saying for months that this country | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
should stay immune from the war in Syria. It was more than an | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
aspiration than a strategy. Steadily Lebanon is being pulled in. | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
After the funeral, demonstrators marched on the Prime Minister's | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
office to try and force the resignation of the Government with | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
its pro-Syrian majority. This was the local MP, from a prominent | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
Christian family. REPORTER: How does Lebanon avoid getting pulled | :04:04. | :04:14. | |
into the Syrian war? Around half a mile away, soldiers were fired into | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
the air and using tear gas to stop the demonstrators. Like the MP, | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
many blame not just Syria for the assassination, but also its | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
Lebanese allies for planting the bomb. | :04:27. | :04:35. | |
The MP's bodyguards took him to an alleyway. My brother was | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
assassinated, my sister, my cousin. Of course, we're all in the list of | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
what can be thes a sas nation of Hezbollah here. | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
The tragedy for the Lebanese is once again their fate depends as | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
much on others as it does on themselves. | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
Jeremy joins us now from Beirut. Jeremy, just how fragile is the | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
situation in Lebanon? It's more fragile than for some time, that is | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
because of the civil war in Syria next door. I am outside the Prime | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
Minister's office. There is a lot of barbed wire around here and | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
troops in case the demonstrators try and get in again. Lebanon is | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
fragile because of a 15-year civil war and because of the way power is | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
split in this country, which is between the different religious | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
groups. At the moment, Lebanon's problem is it is at the mercy of | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
events, at the mercy of things it cannot control, not by any means | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
for the first time in its history. That makes the Lebanese people | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
nervous. They know that with the crisis of the size of one in Syria | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
going on, across the border, they are very vulnerable and they feel | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
it tonight. Thank you. The BBC's Panorama programme says | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
it has fresh evidence of what the corporation knew about the decades | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
of child abuse carried out by Jimmy Savile N a special programme, to be | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
broadcast on BBC One tomorrow night, it reveals details of e-mail | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
exchanges within the Newsnight programme team, as to why their | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
investigation was dropped. Panorama, a BBC programme now | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
investigating another BBC programme. How are you, ladies? The central | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
question is why did Newsnight, last year, stop its investigation into | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
Jimmy Savile? Panorama has been finding out the Inside Story. And | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
it reveals especially the degree of anger within Newsnight, both about | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
the decision to drop the report and also the words used by the BBC to | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
justify that decision. E-mails from the Newsnight reporter say she felt | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
a duty to the women who had come forward, saying: | :06:54. | :07:04. | |
:07:04. | :07:12. | ||
"I was very unhappy the story Welcome. Another decision of Top of | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
the Pops. The decision to halt the investigation was editorial. Claims | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
the women had been let down by the Crown Prosecution Service did not | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
stand up. The reporting team said stand up. The reporting team said | :07:24. | :07:34. | |
:07:34. | :07:37. | ||
this was not the focus at the Panorama says there is no evidence | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
that the change in tone was down to a worry about the tribute programme, | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
a claim that a former head of the BBC feels is unlikely. I would be | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
very surprised if it was anyone other than the editor of Newsnight. | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
The conspiracy therp ri is someone at the top said, -- theory is that | :07:56. | :08:04. | |
someone at the top said, "Don't do it." The BBC says an independent | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
inquiry is under way and it will not comment further. There's not | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
yet been a response from the individuals who took the decision. | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
With the Director-General due to meet MPs this week, there is some | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
fuel for some challenging questions. And you can see the Panorama | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
investigation on BBC One tomorrow evening, starting at 10.35pm. In | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
the last few minutes, the police have said a man has been charged | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
with the murder of Karina Menzies, who died in Cardiff on Friday. The | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
32-year-old was killed and 13 others were injured after being hit | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
by a van. Earlier, a special church service had been held in support of | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
the victims. This report from our Wales correspondent. | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
A moment to pause and remember. Family, friends, neighbours fell | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
silent to honour all 14 people struck down in Friday's attacks. | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
They include 32-year-old Karina Menzies, a mother, killed as she | :09:05. | :09:13. | |
walked with her children. In the midst of its grief, her family | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
wanted to pay tribbuert to her family. I spoke to -- Tribute to | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
her family. I spoke to my niece. She threw them out of the way. She | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
threw her kids to each side of her. These CCTV images show the white | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
van on its chaotic journey around Cardiff. More than 70 officers are | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
working on the investigation. This evening, hundreds have gathered | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
here at aure nch the heart of the Ely community -- at a church at the | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
heart of the Ely community, only five metres away from where a hit- | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
and-run took place. The vicar called on people to show | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
love at a time when they feel anger and grief. | :09:57. | :10:06. | |
This grief has broken the heart of our community. And the healing work | :10:06. | :10:14. | |
that is now to be done will take a very, very long time. | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
In the most difficult circumstances, people came to show support for one | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
and other. It's one of the most deprived areas | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
of Cardiff. Yet it is one of the richest communities in terms of | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
solidarity and care for one and other. This is a community which | :10:35. | :10:44. | |
feels wounded, but one which is determined to stand together. | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
A 15-month-old boy has become the fourth victim of a house fire in | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
Prestatyn in North Wales. Charlie Timbrell died this afternoon in | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
hospital. His mother, Lee-Anna Shiers, and his cousins Bailey and | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
Skye were killed in the blaze which broke out on Friday. Two of their | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
neighbours are being questioned on suspicion of murder. The Prime | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
Minister will say in a speech tomorrow that Britain needs a tough, | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
but intelligent approach to tackling crime. David Cameron will | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
try and put law and order policy in the public spotlight, arguing that | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
tougher sentencing can be combined with a compassionate approach to | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
stopping re-offending. Crime is falling across Britain, | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
but it is rising up the political agenda. In a speech tomorrow, David | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
Cameron is expected to say tougher sentences need to be matched with | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
better rehabilitation of offenders. He will hope that can come from | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
extending the use of payment by results from private companies | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
working in prisons. He is expected to say community sentences should | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
be tougher and today the Home Secretary said people who illegally | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
keep guns intending to supply others would get a life sentence. | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
There is not at the moment an offence for somebody to possess a | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
firearm with the intent to supply to it somebody else. It is right we | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
introduce that offence. Those supplying the firearms are as | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
guilty as those using them. years ago David Cameron's so-called | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
"hug a hood" speech, aimed to show his would be a compassionate party. | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
When you see a child walking down a street, hoodie up, head down, moody, | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
swaggering, dominating the pavement, think what has brought that child | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
to that moment. Critics called it "soft." The man who wrote that | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
speech said the Prime Minister should resist calls to be too tough | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
on crime. I understand that he has to speak | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
to a public who are concerned about crime levels and deeply frustrated | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
at antisocial behaviour and high crime. However, it would be | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
disappointing if he abandoned the much more intelligent and | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
sophisticated rhetoric about the causes of crime. Labour criticised | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
the Government's approach. What is clear is David Cameron is doing | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
what Tory leaders do when the going gets tough, they lurch to the right. | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
He has to explain why he has been reducing police officers over the | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
past 29 months, taking away powers from the judges and high he's been | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
letting victims down. After losing Andrew Mitchell last week, the man | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
charged with keeping order among Tory MPs, David Cameron will hope | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
his speech on law and order will move politics on to policies that | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
will calm his party and prove popular to the voters the Tories | :13:31. | :13:40. | |
are trying to win over. The former Met Police chief Lord | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
Blair has advised people not to vote in next months elections for | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
law and crime commissioners. He described it as a disaster that | :13:48. | :13:58. | |
:13:58. | :14:00. | ||
would politicise the force. The holly shrine in Loudres is | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
under water after the worst flooding for 25 years. Heavy rains | :14:05. | :14:14. | |
led to the local river to close its banks. Six million visitors a year | :14:14. | :14:24. | |
:14:24. | :14:28. | ||
are attracted to the area. Now time Good evening. There were two rather | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
eventful matches in the Premier League today. Match of the Day 2 | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
and Sport Scene follow this programme. Please pop out of the | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
room for a moment if you don't want to know any results. Anton | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
Ferdinand has become the latest player to publicly boycott the | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
anti-racism campaign Kick It Out by not wearing the campaign's T-shirt. | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
He was one of a number of QPR and Everton players who opted not to | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
take part in the initiative. The match itself finished 1-1 at Loftus | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
Road, leaving QPR bottom of the Premier League. Sunderland had to | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
settle for a point, despite playing a Newcastle side down to ten men | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
for most of the Tyne Wear Derby. A header was diverted in by Demba Ba, | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
cancelling out Johan Cabaye's early strike for Newcastle. The police | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
have confirmed they are investigating a report of racist | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
abuse from a supporter during the 1-1 draw. Hearts are up to eighth | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
place in the Scottish Premier League after a 1-0 win over | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
Motherwell. Danny Grainger scored the only goal of the game to give | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
Hearts their first home win since the opening day of the season. A | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
21-year-old man from Cheltenham has been arrested after Chris Kirkland | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
was knocked to the ground by a spectator during a game on Friday | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
night. Kirkland required treatment after the incident, which took | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
place during his side's championship match against Leeds | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
United. Olympic Bronze Medalist Jonny | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
Brownlee has followed in the footsteps of his brother, Alistair, | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
by winning the World Triathlon title. Brownlee won three of the | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
seven events leading up to the Grand Final, so needed a podium | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
finish in Auckland to take the World Championship crown. | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
As if the prospect of a two-and-a- half hour triathlon is not | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
frightening enough! A top-three finish is what Jonny Brownlee | :16:25. | :16:35. | |
:16:35. | :16:36. | ||
needed to secure the title. Brownlee remained hot on his | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
opponents a heal. In the saddle Brownlee was never far behind the | :16:42. | :16:52. | |
leader. The main danger appeared to come from the elements. Australia's | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
Sexton found out. Brownlee's performance stayed as strong as the | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
travelling support. Javier Gomez, as expected moved to the front. | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
Brownlee crucially stayed in touch. Gomez duly finished first. The | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
Yorkshireman was just behind and that was enough for the title. | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
It was hard. It is a tough race out there. It's been a great season. If | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
someone told me at the start of the year I would get an Olympic Bronze | :17:20. | :17:27. | |
Medal and be the world champion. Dare I mention another contender | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
for sport's personality of the year. In rugby union's cup, Leicester | :17:34. | :17:42. | |
Tigers stayed in contention in the competition by beating Ospreys. | :17:42. | :17:47. |
