:00:21. > :00:23.Good evening. The BBC has admitted it was wrong to broadcast a report
:00:23. > :00:30.which alleged child abuse by an un- named former Conservative
:00:30. > :00:32.politician. The Director-General of the BBC, George Entwistle, said the
:00:32. > :00:39.Newsnight report, which didn't name the former politician but did lead
:00:39. > :00:42.to him being wrongly implicated on the internet, should not have aired.
:00:42. > :00:45.He said he had demanded an urgent inquiry and said staff could face
:00:45. > :00:52.disciplinary action, but admitted that he himself wasn't aware of the
:00:52. > :00:58.report until after it was broadcast. The BBC Trust said it was a deeply
:00:58. > :01:02.troubling episode. Torin Douglas reports. Another day, another BBC
:01:02. > :01:07.crisis. Once again, its flagship daily news programme is under the
:01:07. > :01:11.spotlight. A new crisis for Newsnight. Tonight, this programme
:01:11. > :01:18.apologises, a key allegation in a report about child abuse was wrong.
:01:18. > :01:21.The abuse victim says he was mistaken. Steven Messham, a former
:01:21. > :01:26.resident of a care home, claimed he had been assaulted bay politician
:01:26. > :01:30.from the Thatcher ra. He -- era. He thought that was Lord McAlpine and
:01:30. > :01:34.although the programme didn't name him many on the internet did. Mr
:01:34. > :01:36.Messham was mistaken but the BBC Director-General said the programme
:01:36. > :01:42.should have checked. It was our responsibility, Newsnight's
:01:42. > :01:44.responsibility to make sure any misidentification did not end up on
:01:44. > :01:49.television. Therefore, we have to take the blame for that. No
:01:49. > :01:53.question about that at all. Entwistle said he hbt known about
:01:53. > :01:58.the Newsnight broadcast in advance, even though he is the BBC's editor-
:01:58. > :02:01.in-chief. But he said senior news executives had. Nobody even
:02:01. > :02:07.mentioned in the context that we now understand, nobody mentioned
:02:07. > :02:11.it? No. Isn't that extraordinary? Well, in the light of what's
:02:11. > :02:14.happened here, I wish this had been referred to me but it wasn't and I
:02:14. > :02:18.have - I run the BBC on the basis that the right people are put in
:02:18. > :02:22.the right positions to make the right decisions. Weeks after the
:02:22. > :02:25.Jimmy Savile crisis broke, the BBC is now facing more questions, not
:02:25. > :02:31.just about its journalism, but about the way the organisation is
:02:31. > :02:34.run. Last month, Mr Entwistle was grilled by MPs over the Jimmy
:02:34. > :02:40.Savile crisis. He is due to face them again in two weeks. I would
:02:40. > :02:46.say this is one of the worst crises the BBC has faced in 50 years. The
:02:46. > :02:50.BBC's reputation rests on the integrity of its journalism,
:02:50. > :02:52.factual accuracy, that there have been two failures in the space of a
:02:52. > :02:56.few weeks clearly has done immense damage.
:02:56. > :03:02.Despite the BBC's apology, a Government inquiry into whether
:03:02. > :03:06.abuse at the care home in North Wales was investigated properly in
:03:06. > :03:09.the Waterhouse report will still go ahead. Right at the heart of it the
:03:09. > :03:13.most horrible and disgusting child abuse, which was investigated in
:03:13. > :03:17.the Waterhouse report, but as it appears there are more victims
:03:17. > :03:20.coming forward, of course each of them has to be taken very seriously
:03:20. > :03:24.and investigated to make sure that there wasn't something missing.
:03:24. > :03:32.report on how the Newsnight investigation came to be broadcast
:03:32. > :03:35.is due on the Director-General's desk tomorrow.
:03:35. > :03:38.Babies in the UK are to be vaccinated against a virus which
:03:38. > :03:40.causes tens of thousands of cases of vomiting and diarrhoea each year.
:03:40. > :03:43.The vaccine for rotavirus will be offered from September 2013, with
:03:44. > :03:51.doses given to babies aged between two and four months old. Ben
:03:51. > :03:54.Geoghegan reports. Rotavirus spreads easily and can
:03:54. > :03:58.lead to nasty symptoms, particularly in the very young. So
:03:58. > :04:03.next year, the Government is to offer a new vaccine in an effort to
:04:03. > :04:08.reduce the number of children affected. The symptoms for children
:04:08. > :04:12.are nausea, perhaps for a day, and followed by dramatic diarrhoea and
:04:12. > :04:16.that's the problem. Because a child can pass a lot of fluid and get
:04:16. > :04:20.really sick from that. It's the biggest cause of stomach upsets in
:04:20. > :04:25.children under the age of five and leads to around 14,000 hospital
:04:25. > :04:29.admissions in the UK each year. The new vaccination programme is
:04:29. > :04:33.designed to bring down the number of hospital cases by around 70%, it
:04:33. > :04:35.should also reduce the stress suffered by children and their
:04:35. > :04:40.parents. The new vaccine will be given to
:04:40. > :04:44.babies under the age of four months T will be offered to around 840,000
:04:44. > :04:50.babies each year. But the vaccination programme won't begin
:04:50. > :04:53.until September 2013. Children can already have as many as a dozen
:04:53. > :04:57.vaccinations before the age of five. So what do parents think about
:04:57. > :05:02.adding another one to the list? far as I am concerned, it's fine
:05:02. > :05:07.with my kids because it's all for their benefit. That's very bad, I
:05:07. > :05:11.am not keen on vaccination. Definitely not. If it's there for
:05:11. > :05:16.benefit, so they should have another vaccination. It's no harm.
:05:16. > :05:19.The Government insists the new vaccine is safe and is widely used
:05:19. > :05:28.elsewhere. The good news is that this one will be given in drops,
:05:28. > :05:30.rather than by a painful jab. The director of the CIA, General
:05:30. > :05:33.David Petraeus, has resigned after admitting to having had an affair.
:05:33. > :05:37.Mr Petraeus, who had previously led international forces in Iraq and
:05:37. > :05:43.Afghanistan, said his behaviour had been unacceptable. The relationship
:05:43. > :05:46.was uncovered during an investigation by the FBI.
:05:46. > :05:51.Talks to agree a new European Union budget have stalled in Brussels.
:05:51. > :05:55.Most member governments wanted to limit any increase to less than 3%.
:05:55. > :06:01.The EU Commission and the European Parliament had asked for almost 7%.
:06:01. > :06:04.Negotiations will resume on Tuesday. British forces will gather at their
:06:04. > :06:08.bases in Helmand tomorrow for services to mark Remembrance Sunday.
:06:08. > :06:10.By the end of the year, 500 British personnel will have returned from
:06:10. > :06:15.Afghanistan, leaving 9,000 UK troops there as the NATO withdrawal
:06:15. > :06:22.gathers pace. Our defence correspondent Caroline Wyatt
:06:22. > :06:27.reports from Helmand with the Royal Marines. On a rocky outpost high in
:06:27. > :06:33.the hills an Afghan policeman stands guard. Legend has it this
:06:33. > :06:39.fort was used by Genghis Khan and the British too in centuries past.
:06:39. > :06:43.Once again, British troops are preparing to leave. This new
:06:43. > :06:47.checkpoint has been handed over to the local police. They must now
:06:47. > :06:53.keep their own villages safe. The Royal Marines job of mentoring them
:06:53. > :06:57.is nearly done. They're as good as we are going to
:06:57. > :07:05.get them. The rest they'll have to do on their own. I can safely say
:07:05. > :07:09.that me, the boss, and the rest of our lads, have left our - done our
:07:09. > :07:13.bit for progression. Both sides are now stripping down their weapons,
:07:13. > :07:22.only this time blind-folded, that not only takes a lot of skill, but
:07:22. > :07:26.takes a lot of trust. British soldiers still visit to
:07:26. > :07:33.work and play with the Afghans they've mentored. But after the
:07:33. > :07:42.recent insider attacks, is there still trust? You can never 100%
:07:42. > :07:46.trust anyone. But my guys, here were extremely comfortable with
:07:46. > :07:50.them. But just in case, an armed British soldier watches over us.
:07:51. > :07:56.They're known as guardian angels. Outside a few hundred metres away
:07:56. > :08:01.is a frontline. TRANSLATION: There are two wars here, one for
:08:01. > :08:04.religion and one for power. When NATO forces go, those fighting for
:08:04. > :08:13.religious reasons will stop. But those battling for power will carry
:08:13. > :08:16.The match continues as we leave the base. It's not yet clear who's won.
:08:16. > :08:26.A little like Afghanistan itself, though many wonder which side it's
:08:26. > :08:28.
:08:28. > :08:32.now wisest to cheer on. In sport, England and Wales' rugby
:08:32. > :08:34.union teams have been in action in the first weekend of matches in the
:08:34. > :08:37.autumn internationals. There was a surprise defeat for Wales against
:08:37. > :08:45.Argentina, while England were firmly in control of their 54-12
:08:45. > :08:50.victory over Fiji. Alex South reports..
:08:50. > :08:55.Paying their respects before trying to earn the respect of the southern
:08:55. > :08:58.hemisphere. In truth, these games were warm-ups but no one seemed to
:08:58. > :09:04.tell the visitors. In Cardiff, a much improved Argentina were
:09:04. > :09:07.dominating the champions, only this accuracy keeping Wales in front.
:09:07. > :09:11.The two tries in the space of five minutes changed everything.
:09:11. > :09:15.Finishing at the highest order for Argentina, as they showed everyone
:09:16. > :09:21.that they are now a force to be reckoned with in international
:09:21. > :09:27.rugby. A backward step for Wales who have plenty to Ponder.
:09:27. > :09:34.At Twickenham England survived early indiscipline from Care, sin-
:09:34. > :09:38.banned -- sin-binned for a dangerous tackle. Sharp's first try
:09:38. > :09:41.for his country was worth it. Record scores were being talked
:09:41. > :09:44.about as Johnson ran in try number four. But everyone's favourite
