The hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was treated this week

condemns the Australian network which made a hoax call there.

The nurse who took the call, Jacintha Saldanha, was found dead

yesterday. The hospital said she had been humiliated.

More violent clashes between police and loyalist protesters in Belfast.

One police officer is taken to hospital. And, England are on the

brink of a resounding win over Good evening. A hospital that was

duped into revealing details about the Duchess of Cambridge's

condition has accused the radio station behind the hoax call of

humiliating its staff. The nurse who answered the phone, Jacintha

Saldanha, was found dead yesterday. In a letter to the Australian

station's owners, the chairman of the King Edward VII Hospital

described the hoax as truly appalling. From Sydney, Duncan

Kennedy reports. Jacintha Saldanha's family have

said they were deeply saddened by their loss. She leaves behind a

husband and two children. The hospital described her as an

excellent, well respected nurse, who was popular with her colleagues.

Tonight, the hospital released a letter it sent to the Australian

company which runs the radio station. In it, the chairman of the

King Edward VII Hospital urged the broadcaster to ensure there could

never be another similar incident. In Australia, the news of the death

has left people in disbelief. Tonight at the centre of a

firestorm... The two DJs behind the phone stunt were said to be

completely shattered by what's happened. They're on indefinite

leave and have been offered counselling by the radio station.

The chief executive offered his deepest sympathy to the family of

Jacintha Saldanha, but said the station hadn't broken any laws or

broadcasting regulations. No one could reasonably foresee what

actually happened in this case. It's incredibly tragic. Every one

of us are deeply saddened. Today, FM's Facebook page has received

more than 10,000 messages, most hostile to the presenters and the

station. A number of major companies have pulled their

advertising, although some political leaders here say the

incident has to be put in perspective. As long as it's been

FM radio, there's been prank phone calls, I am not endorsing them but

regretably this has led to a real tragedy and I am sure that it will

send a message to the industry. London, Prince William attended a

charity function tonight while his wife continues to rest at home. The

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have stressed their deep sadness for the

death of Jacintha Saldanha. An inquest will begin in London next

week. At the same time, Australia's media regulator will begin its

investigation to see whether the radio station was in breach of its

licence by broadcasting this now infamous phone conversation.

There have been more clashes between loyalist protestors and

police in Belfast. It follows a mass demonstration against a

decision to restrict the number of days the Union flag will be flown

from the City Hall. Police have appealed for calm and have accused

loyalist paramilitaries of organising some of the violence.

Our Ireland correspondent Mark Simpson reports.

Day six of the protest, and still no end in sight. Attacks on the

police, hijacking and stone throwing resulting in a huge

security operation right across Belfast. And this is what it was

all about. The absence from the top of Belfast City Hall of the Union

flag. The council decided on Monday to stop flying the flag every day.

There have been protests by loyalists ever since. You know the

bottom line is this, whether you take a flag down, there is a

million unionist Protestants live in this country, get used to us!

All the people standing here listening to the interview their

hearts are British. You know what, the blood that goes through our

vein s is British as much as it was 100 years ago. The city centre

protest on a busy Saturday afternoon meant a Christmas market

at City Hall had to close. At one stage, an Irish flag was burned.

And this was the reaction later, from a member of the main unionist

party in Northern Ireland. It's not something you wouldn't see at a

republican parade but I don't condone it, but I am not going to

condemn it. Before leaving, the crowd sang the national anthem.

The protest only lasted an hour and once it ended business returned to

normal in the centre of Belfast. The Christmas market even reopened.

But then the trouble started in other parts of the city. The

violence was mainly in East Belfast, a policeman was attacked. He was

the 28th officer to be injured in Northern Ireland this week. This is

thuggery. Thuggery disguised as protest is never going to be

acceptable and will not be acceptable. We also have the

developing situation where loyalist paramilitary groups are now

actively involved in orchestrating this disorder. In this part of

Belfast last night there was a riot. Tonight, it's full of people going

to Christmas parties. A hopeful sign at the end of a difficult week.

UN Climate talks in Doha have ended with an agreement to extend a

legally-binding pact to control greenhouse gas emissions until 2020.

The pact - known as the Kyoto Protocol - was due to expire at the

end of this month. Delegates from almost 200 countries also agreed in

principle that rich countries would, for the first time, compensate

poorer ones for the damage they've done to the climate.

The former South African President, Nelson Mandela, has been admitted

to hospital in Pretoria for tests. The current president, Jacob Zuma,

said Mr Mandela - who's 94 - was doing well. Andrew Harding joins us

now from Johannesburg. What more do we know? Mr Zuma also said there

was no cause for alarm but there's precious little extra information.

We know he is undergoing some sort of tests and that's about it. We

also know that he was flown up from his village deep in rural South

Africa, up to Pretoria today, not something that doctors would do

lightly, given that Mr Mandela is frail, he is 94. We also heard a

while ago one report, unconfirmed, that a traditional leader in Mr

Mandela's village rushed to see him when she heard he was unwell and

confirmed that he was not well. The presidency at the moment trying to

balance the obvious need to protect Mr Mandela's privacy with this huge

public interest that there is around South Africa and beyond in

Mr Mandela and how he is doing. He is seen as a father figure here in

South Africa and people take that relationship very seriously and

they want to know how he is doing. People have been to see him in

recent months. The Clintons went to see him at his rural home and said

he was in good spirits but he is clearly frail and people are

increasingly concerned about incidents like this and

hospitalisations. Thank you. Egypt's President, Mohamed Morsi,

is said to be considering making concessions to the opposition

following days of unrest over a draft constitution which gave him

sweeping powers. It comes after the army called for dialogue to resolve

the crisis. From Cairo, Wyre Davies reports.

They don't want their president to give an inch. Ultra conservativists

this afternoon. President Morsi was elected

democratically, they shout and the media is part of a campaign to

discredit him. We came here today to media, media

trying to kill the Egyptian revolution and try to restore the

old regime. The President's opponents say Egypt's draft

constitution is one-sided and doesn't leapt -- represent other

groups or faiths. These men don't care. For them Egypt is sa Muslim

country and Islam must have a prominent role. On the other side

of Cairo, outside his presidential Palace, Mr Morsi is a figure of

suspicious. A cartoon character whose power-grabbing decrees

threaten the revolution all Egyptians fought for. We can

negotiate after he removes whatever he did wrong against his citizens.

He is not the president of the Muslim Brotherhood. He is the

president of Egyptians. In its first statement since the crisis

began, the military today warned it might be forced to intervene. But

on whose side? As it did in the uprising against Hosni Mubarak, the

army has thus far remained largely neutral between the Government and

protesters. But if President Morsi was to now order the army to

intervene on his behalf, that will be a real game-changer. Amid

rumours the president was at least preparing to amend the new

constitution, all Egyptians tonight, the army included, were still

preparing for more trouble. The Foreign Secretary, William

Hague, has said he's seen evidence that the Syrian government may be

preparing to use chemical weapons against opposition fighters. Mr

Hague again issued a warning to the Assad regime not to consider

deploying them. The United States has already said there would be

serious consequences if they did so. A High Court judge has delayed

delivering a ruling on whether a boy with brain cancer must undergo

radiotherapy, because of what he described as developments in the

child's condition. Seven-year-old Neon Roberts had successful surgery

to remove a tumour last year. Doctors subsequently advised him to

have radiotherapy but his mother, Sally, said she feared the

treatment could cause her son long- term harm. Ben Ando reports.

Sally Roberts wants what she believes to be the best for her son

and to do that she's fought doctors she disagrees with all the way to

the High Court. Seven-year-old Neon Roberts was diagnosed with a brain

tumour, an operation to remove it was a success. But then his mother

disagreed with plans to give him radiotherapy. Doctors said that

could stop the cancer coming back. She said she was worried it might

shorten his life, reduce his IQ, and leave him infertile. But in

court, sitting unusually on a Saturday, an unexpected development.

The judge said he had intended to make a ruling today, but events

overnight had, in his words, changed the medical landscape. He

adjourned the case for ten days. Afterwards, Sally Roberts said her

son is doing well. He is good. He is very good in himself and yes, we

will speak early next week. Were you disappointed today? I think

next week will be much better, thank you. If there was still no

agreement on what's best for Neon before the next hearing, then the

judge would decide. Sport now at the sports centre.

By this time tomorrow, England's cricketers should be 2-1 up in the

Test series. India are nine wickets down in their second innings and

only lead by 32 runs heading into the final day in Kolkata. Rob Heath

watched the action. At the start of the day alaster Cook watched eupbd

why's openers get off to a flier. England's advantage seemed to be

slipping through their fingers. After lunch England were

transformed. First ball after the break out to Graeme Swann. One

short of his 50. The momentum suddenly shifted. A real gift for

England. Tendulkar arrived and soon went. Out for five. Tendulkar is

past his best. A failure still registers disbelief among his

followers, though. There's pressure on him and the skipper. When Khan

became a third wicket, a remarkable victory within four days seemed a

formality. They'll have to wait, though. Ashwin hit 83. He's surely

delayed the inevitable, though. There were six matches in the

Premier League today. Match of the Day is straight after the news, so

if you don't want to know the results, then you should know what

to do by now. Fernando Torres scored twice for

Chelsea against Sunderland, including his first penalty in

English Football. Sunderland dropped into the relegation zone

after their 3-1 defeat. Mikel Arteta scored two penalties as

Arsenal beat West Brom 2-0, Villa against Stoke was goalless. Jason

Puncheon got the winner as Southampton beat fellow strugglers

Reading to move out of the relegation zone. Norwich are

unbeaten in nine matches after beating Swansea 4-3. QPR are still

winless and bottom of the league. They drew 2-2 at Wigan.

Celtic are three points clear at the top of the Scottish Premier

League after beating Kilmarnock 3-1 at Rugby Park. Georgios Samaras -

who helped Celtic reach the last 16 of the Champions League in the week

- headed in their third after earlier goals from Scott Brown and

Joe Ledley. Elsewhere, Hearts beat Aberdeen 2-0.

Inverness have jumped into second place after beating Hibs 3-0. 3-2

to Motherwell against Ross County and nine-man St Johnstone drew 1-1

at St Mirren. There were six matches in the

Heineken Cup today. Munster and Saracens are now level on points at

the top of Pool One after the Irish side ran out 15-9 winners at

Thomond Park. Ronan O'Gara kicked all their points. Elsewhere, there

were wins for Exeter and Harlequins. Sale, Ospreys and Edinburgh all

lost. Finally, Mark Selby will play Shaun Murphy in tomorrow's UK
