A hero's welcome for the French President in Mali but he warns the | :00:05. | :00:12. | |
fight against Islamist militants is not yet over. Francois Hollande | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
tells cheering crowds French troops will stay in the country as long as | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
they're needed. Ahead of a vote on same-sex | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
marriage, the Prime Minister comes under fire from his own MPs for | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
ruling out immediate tax breaks for married couples. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |

Good evening. The French President, Francois Hollande, has received a | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
rapturous welcome in Timbuktu - six days after French troops helped | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
recapture the northern Mali town from Islamist militants. But Mr | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Hollande warned that the battle was far from won and said French troops | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
would remain until the West African country's sovereignty could be | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
assured. Our Africa correspondent Andrew Harding has sent this report | :01:24. | :01:32. | |
from Timbuktu. Quite a convoy for the French | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
President arriving here in Timbuktu this morning. First stop, the | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
ancient mosque. Local dignitaries lining up to thank the man whose | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
army liberated their town from months of brutal occupation. Then | :01:46. | :01:54. | |
it's the public's turn. Hollande, they shout, President | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
Hollande is our hero. Just one week ago, no dancing was allowed here, | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
no music. Islamist militants forced women to cover all but their eyes | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
in black. Look at them now. Aren't I beautiful, asks this woman, | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
before we had to do this, we are free, we are we are proud of France, | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
she says. It's been an emotional day in this desert town. Mr | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Hollande plunging into the crowds. The war has been good for his | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
ratings back home, but there are risks ahead, here in Mali. The | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
French campaign here has been quick, successful and wildly popular but | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
for President Hollande this could be as good as it gets. He now needs | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
an exit strategy but if he moves too quick, misapbls it -- | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
mishandles it, Mali could be plunged back into chaos. Today, Mr | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
Hollande tried to strike a balance. He told his troops their job was | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
not yet done here, but he also urged Mali and its neighbours to | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
step up and take a much bigger role. The Islamist militants have | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
withdrawn, for now, but this remains a dangerously fragile | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
nation. David Cameron's been criticised by | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
some of his own MPs for ruling out tax breaks for married couples in | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
the Budget next month. There were reports that the measure would be | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
brought forward to placate backbenchers opposed to the | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
introduction of same-sex marriage in England and Wales - which will | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
be voted on next week. Our political correspondent Carole | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
Walker has more. The Prime Minister believes | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
marriage helps to bind families and communities together. But his plan | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
to extend it to gay couples is proving hugely divisive for his | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
party. Many opponents of the idea want him to do more to support | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
traditional marriages and are disappointed a commitment in the | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
coalition agreement to introduce tax breaks for married couples | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
won't be delivered in the coming Budget. On Tuesday, when the vote | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
comes forward for the redefinition of marriage, I would much rather be | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
voting for a tax measure that put extra money in the pockets of those | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
who need it most, rather than voting for something that wasn't in | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
the manifesto, which is a redefinition of marriage. It's not | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
the priority. The economy's the priority. Edmond Costello resigned | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
as chairman of Somerset and Frome Conservatives over the gay marriage | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
proposals last month and has warned others will follow suit. What, to | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
me, has been proposed is something that the Conservative Party would | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
never, ever have even considered in years gone by. And indeed, the | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
feeling within the party at grass roots and amongst many MPs and | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
officers, has not changed that opinion. They are very, very upset. | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
Some in his party believe David Cameron's being swayed by another | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
relationship, with his coalition partner. Nick Clegg opposes the | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
idea of tax breaks for marriage, sources say the Prime Minister will | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
deliver that pledge later in this parliament whilst this Budget will | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
focus on promoting growth. The Prime Minister believes gay people | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
should have the same rights as others to get married. If we can | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
deliver a Bill which allows people who love each other of the same sex | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
to get married, whilst protecting the freedoms of religious | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
organisations, then that's a good thing to do and there's room in the | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
timetable for it. When the legislation to allow gay couples to | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
marry comes before parliament on Tuesday, David Cameron's likely to | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
win the day with the support of most Labour and Liberal Democrat | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
MPs. But dozens in his own party are poised to vote against the | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
proposals or abstain. It is a free vote. So technically it won't be a | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
rebellion but could further undermine David Cameron's authority | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
over his party. Major food retailers and suppliers | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
are being summoned to an urgent meeting this week after recent | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
incidents of mislabelled or contaminated meat products. In the | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
latest case, the Ministry of Justice said it was suspending a | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
supplier after tests showed pork was found in halal prison food. As | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
Richard Lister reports, the food standards watchdog is now | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
investigating whether any of these products have been distributed | :06:07. | :06:16. | |
elsewhere in the UK. It may not be haute cuisine but | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
prison food is required to meet religious and cultural needs. About | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
12% of prisoners are Muslims who don't eat pork for religious | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
reasons. But tests revealed some halal products supplied to jails | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
did, in fact, contain traces of meat meat from pigs. All prisons in | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
England and Wales have now been told to destroy food stocks from | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
the supplier involved. In a statement, the Justice Minister | :06:41. | :06:51. | |
:06:51. | :06:52. | ||
Some prisons as well as schools, hospitals and care homes, are | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
supplied by the 3666 Distribution Company which said it had withdrawn | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
five halal products. The latest discovery comes less than three | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
weeks after tests revealed horse meat in some supermarket | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
beefburgers. The Food Standards Agency says it's up to meat | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
retailers and suppliers to restore faith in their industry. Er consume | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
confidence is at risk and we want the food industries together to | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
step up to the mark on this and to make sure that they can take action, | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
including some of the major retailers have already announced, | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
further testing and routine testing of their products to make sure | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
people can trust that what it says on the label is actually what's in | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
the food. It's not clear whether any of the contaminated halal meat | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
was sold in the high street. The FSA has promised a full report on | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
where it came from and where it ended up. | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
A postmortem examination on a 16- year-old girl who was murdered in | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Blackpool has found she died as a result of significant stab wounds. | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
Sasha Marsden was found in an alleyway in the South Shore area on | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
Thursday. Police are questioning a 22-year-old man. Ben Ando reports. | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
The alarm was raised when flames were spotted in an allyway behind a | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
row of hotels and guesthouses off the seafront. When residents put | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
out the fire they realised they found a body and called the police. | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
The victim was identified as 16- year-old Sasha Marsden, who was | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
studying childcare at a local college. A specialist crime scene | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
investigators continued their work at the scene, a postmortem | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
investigation has revealed Sasha died of serious stab wounds to her | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
head and face. Police said today that attempts were made to set the | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
body on fire and this was after Sasha died. The results have been | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
shared with the family. And specially trained officers are | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
continuing to support them. Shortly after the body was found, a | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
man aged 22 and a woman of 20 were arrested nearby. The woman has now | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
been released without charge. Detectives have been given more | :09:02. | :09:10. | |
time to question the man. Russia - a long-time ally of the | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad - has, for the first time, held talks | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
with the main Syrian opposition group. The meeting between Russia's | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Moaz al-Khatib, head of the | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
National Coalition, took place on the sidelines of an international | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
security conference in Munich. Russia says it now wants to stay in | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
regular contact. 23 people - including ten civilians | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
- have been killed in an attack on an army checkpoint in north-west | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
Pakistan. The Pakistan Taliban have claimed responsibility for the | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
attack, saying it was in response to a drone strike last month. | :09:42. | :09:50. | |
Twelve attackers also died. A quarter of a million Twitter | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
users have had their accounts hacked in the latest high-profile | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
internet security breach. The social networking site is warning | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
users that e-mail addresses and other information may have been | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
accessed too. Here's our technology correspondent Rory Cellan Jones. | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
Under cyber attack, some of the biggest names in the American media | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
have been targeted by hackers and now Twitter, with a bigger audience | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
than any of them, says it spotted attempts to breach its defences and | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
get access to its users' personal information. Overnight, a quarter | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
of a million users of the service were sent an e-mail selling -- | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
telling them their passwords needed to be changed. In a blog post | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
Twitter said the hackers were sophisticated. This attack was not | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
the work of amateurs, and we do not believe it is an isolated incident. | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
This is what happened when I tried sign into my account this morning, | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
an instruction to reset my password. Now this is only affected a tiny | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
minority of 200 million active users. But the response of the | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
company shows that it sees this as a very serious attack and part of a | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
wider pattern. While the identity of the hackers | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
behind the latest attacks is unclear there's been speculation | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
that the New York Times was singled out because its journalists | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
reported on corruption in China. With governments now engaged in | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
cyber warfare it's far from an amateur affair. Hackers are really | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
up in -- upping their game and companies need to step up to | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
protect themselves because it's not just kids, it's not just people | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
interested in making some money out of you, we are also seeing state- | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
sponsored cyber crime, where other countries are interested in hacking | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
in, maybe even to your business because of the information they | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
might be able to steal. Twitter is emphasising that there's no | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
evidence that the hackers have done real damage, but it's advising | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
users to think about what it calls password hygiene, choosing | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
carefully the codes that keep your online life life secure. | :11:54. | :12:04. | |

Time for sport now. Here is Olly Foster at the Sports Centre. U. The | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
Six Nations Championship is up and running. England have retained the | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
Calcutta Cup. They ran in four tries against Scotland, winning 38- | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
18 at Twickenham. But there'll be no Grand Slam for Wales this year | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
after they were beaten by Ireland 30-22 in Cardiff. Here's Joe Wilson. | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
From champions in 2012, to where for Wales? The journey can be rapid | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
from hero to zero. All it took for for Isle was -- Ireland was to get | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
the ball to Zebe. He is already famous for fancy footwork. This was | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
his crucial part in the build-up to Ireland's second try. By half-time | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
they were ahead by 20 points. This may be the last Six Nations for | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
Brian O'Driscoll. He remains of being the King in the right place | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
at the right time. It meant Wales needed something extraordinary. | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
There was a glimmer when they burst through in the second half. Nothing | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
for it but to go for it. Throw the dice, throw the ball. Suddenly it | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
was all Wales. Short-range lunge and try given. The lead down to | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
just eight and that's where it finished. Wales took some pride in | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
the fight but earned nothing in another defeat. We will never give | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
up. A tough match, but we have to pick ourselves up and target some | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
wins now. So to Twickenham where Scotland were trying to defy | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
England and to defy history. Decades past between Scottish wins | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
here and in the current era Scotland recently lost to Tonga but | :13:39. | :13:48. | |
there is a new coach and new talent. England kept their flewency. Ashton | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
squeezed over. England ahead by eight at half-time. | :13:51. | :14:01. | |
:14:01. | :14:05. | ||
Here came an England debut, a man named Twelvetrees. England won by | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
20 points in the end. They've enhanced their reputation by a | :14:08. | :14:16. | |
considerable margin. The Women's Six Nations is also | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
under way and England ran in 12 tries to beat Scotland 76-0 in | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
Esher. Italy beat France 13-12 in the | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
other match today. From tries to goals. Lots of late winners and | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
equalisers on Match of the Day after the news tonight, but I've | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
got the results coming up right now if you want to find out what | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
happened in the eight Premier League games today. | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
Manchester United are ten points clear at the top of the table after | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
beating Fulham 1-0 at Craven Cottage. Wayne Rooney scored the | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
only goal in the second half. Second-placed Manchester City play | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
tomorrow. Bottom side QPR missed a penalty and drew 0-0 at home to | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
Norwich. Arsenal beat Stoke 1-0. Marouane Fellaini scored an | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
equaliser in the 90th minute for Everton against Aston Villa. Moosa | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
Sissoko scored an injury-time winner for Newcastle against | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
Chelsea. Jimmy Kebe scored both goals for Reading as they beat | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
Sunderland. West Ham beat Swansea and Wigan got | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
a last-minute equaliser against Southampton. | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
Dundee United are into the quarter- finals of the Scottish Cup after | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
beating Rangers 3-0 at Tannadice. Hundreds of Rangers fans boycotted | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
the match in protest after Dundee United voted in favour of Rangers | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
relegation to the Third Division following their liquidation last | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
summer. This was their first trip to a Premier League side this | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
season. Johnny Russell scored two of Dundee United's goals as they | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
made it into the last eight. Rangers had two men sent off. | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
Hamilton, Falkirk, Kilmarnock and St Mirren also made it through. | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
That's all the sport tonight. Thank you very much. | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Finally, if you are looking for a beachfront property with great | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
views and plenty of space you could still have time to put in a bid for | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
Cleethorpes Pier. It went up for auction today, promising a | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
nostalgic buyer the chance to purchase their own piece of seaside | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
history. Andy Gill reports. This is not your crumbling pile of rusting | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
Victorian ironwork. It is a rare chance to own a genuine slice of | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
English seaside history. It's a good location. I would make it into | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
a better restaurant, use it as a view and could attract weddings to | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
it or make it more upper class, rather than a nightclub. It's part | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
of the seaside. You know, like Blackpool. Perhaps the council | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
might buy it, you never know. do what? Leave it as it is. | :16:28. | :16:37. | |
pier opened on August bank holiday in 173, shall -- 1873. The | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
auctioneer says three piers have come up for sale in the past couple | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
of decades. The previous two piers that have been offered on the south | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
coast have been derelict shells. combination of rich history and | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
lots of modern publicity failed to produce a sale tonight. Generations | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
of families who have walked on the pier hold their memories dear but | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
the price of this pier proved too expensive for this generation of | :17:02. | :17:09. |
