:00:23. > :00:27.will not be included in next month's Budget, according to
:00:27. > :00:30.Government sources. There was speculation that the measure might
:00:30. > :00:32.have been brought in as a way of softening opposition from
:00:32. > :00:42.Conservative backbenchers opposed to same-sex marriage, which will be

:00:43. > :00:48.voted on next week. This report from Tom Barton. It's rarely been a
:00:48. > :00:53.happy marriage but David Cameron's relationship with his back benchers
:00:53. > :00:58.is becoming ever more strained. In a week that has seen talk of
:00:58. > :01:01.leadership chalenings, he is facing another rebellion. This time on gay
:01:01. > :01:08.marriage. Seven years after civil partnerships were introduced for
:01:08. > :01:11.gay and lesbian couples, MPs are to vote over whether to allow people
:01:11. > :01:14.of the same-sex to marry in England and Wales. It is strongly opposed
:01:14. > :01:20.by some Conservative MPs. They think that the Government should be

:01:26. > :01:30.speculation that next month's Budget will include a tax break for
:01:31. > :01:35.married couples to encourage Tory MPs to vote with the Government has
:01:35. > :01:39.left some back benchers frustrated. On Tuesday when the vote comes
:01:39. > :01:42.forward for the redefinition of marriage, I would vote for a tax
:01:42. > :01:46.measure that puts money in the pockets of those that need it the
:01:46. > :01:50.most, rather than voting for something that was not in the
:01:50. > :01:54.manifesto, which is a redefinition of marriage it is not the priority.
:01:54. > :01:59.The economy is. Officials say that they are
:01:59. > :02:03.focusing on the economy and that is why tax breakss for married couples
:02:03. > :02:07.will not anybody the Budget, but insisting it will be addressed
:02:07. > :02:10.before the end of the Parliament it is a policy that Nick Clegg argued
:02:10. > :02:14.against. The Liberal Democrats are allowed to abstain in any vote.
:02:14. > :02:18.In the rocky relationships of the coalition, it seems that marriage
:02:18. > :02:21.could be becoming one of David Cameron's biggest headaches.
:02:21. > :02:24.A quarter of a million Twitter users have had their accounts

:02:39. > :02:42.could be affected. The French president, Francois
:02:42. > :02:46.Hollande, has arrived in Timbuktu in northern Mali, which French and
:02:46. > :02:49.Malian troops seized from Islamist militants six days ago. His visit
:02:49. > :02:51.comes as a United Nations envoy said he was "deeply disturbed" by
:02:52. > :02:57.reports of reprisal attacks by Malian troops as they re-take

:03:17. > :03:22.Timbuktu. The recapture of this city, above all, symbolic, a
:03:23. > :03:28.crowning achievement of the French- led forces north to Mali. The
:03:28. > :03:33.Islamists who seized them last year from driven from Timbuktu just a
:03:33. > :03:37.week ago. Already life beginning to return to normal here, the children

:03:56. > :04:00.country all together. They have worked alongside Malian
:04:00. > :04:03.troops and the plan is to transfer the military mission to these and
:04:03. > :04:06.other African troops deployed across the country.
:04:06. > :04:14.But the challenges ahead are immense. There is speculation that
:04:14. > :04:17.the Islamists have melted into the desert, only to turn this into a
:04:17. > :04:20.potentially long guerrilla conflict and the UN is warning of the risk
:04:20. > :04:26.of reprisal attacks against the northern population by other
:04:26. > :04:33.Malians because of the rebellion. Mali has many victims of the
:04:33. > :04:36.rebellion. This father of three was punished by amputation by Al-Qaeda-
:04:36. > :04:42.linked militants. TRANSLATION: Maybe the French will
:04:42. > :04:45.help me. They were our colonialists. France's reputation is riding high
:04:45. > :04:48.today but the President will be once again working out how and when
:04:48. > :04:51.to leave Mali. Food retailers and suppliers are
:04:51. > :04:55.being summoned to an urgent meeting after recent incidents of
:04:55. > :04:57.mislabelled or contaminated meat products. The Prison Service
:04:57. > :05:01.launched an investigation yesterday after pork was found in Halal

:05:15. > :05:23.site is being worn away by poor weather and the number of visitors
:05:23. > :05:33.it attracts. Fiona Trott reports, the Trust is asking for help trying
:05:33. > :05:33.
:05:33. > :05:36.to preserve the ancient site. A line of light. This event attracted
:05:37. > :05:42.over 25,000 people three years ago. Now Hadrian's Wall is becoming a
:05:42. > :05:47.victim of its own success. Over the past six years, this 73-mile walk
:05:47. > :05:54.has seen a 67% increase in visitors. It is becoming a problem. Bad
:05:54. > :05:58.weather has exposed parts of it. Under every lump and bump lies
:05:58. > :06:03.2,000 years of archaeology, the solution is to spread out.
:06:03. > :06:09.What we want people to do is to spread out. Not to walk in single
:06:09. > :06:15.file. As I said it is a grass path, if we can spread people out so that
:06:15. > :06:20.they are walking in pairs or wider, where possible, that will even out
:06:20. > :06:24.the wear and tear on the surface. Around 11,000 people walk the
:06:24. > :06:29.entire stretch every year. They too want to protect it.
:06:29. > :06:33.I think it is important to help and to carry on looking after
:06:33. > :06:37.everything so that they can ensure it is maintained. I think it should
:06:37. > :06:41.be protected. The whole length of the wall is important.
:06:41. > :06:44.These ancient stones are in need of some rest, so now all large groups
:06:44. > :06:49.are being asked to contact the Trust before coming here. It is
