Carter will Keith O'Brien, who last week resigned as Britain's most | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
senior Catholic cleric, has admitted sexual misconduct. He had | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
denied inappropriate behaviour, but now he apologises and asks for | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
forgiveness. The Queen is in hospital with | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
gastroenteritis, as a precautionary measure. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |

European Indoor Athletics Good evening. | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
Cardinal Keith O'Brien, until a week ago, the most senior Roman | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
Catholic cleric in Britain, admitted his sexual conduct had | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
fallen below the standards expected of him. Three priests and a former | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
priest have claimed he was guilty of inappropriate behaviour. He has | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
apologised and asked for forgiveness. | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
After a week in which their cotton or resigned and then remained under | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
siege behind closed doors, Scottish Catholics received the news with | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
sadness rather than shock. Cardinal O'Brien had in his own words | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
contested rather than flatly denied the allegations of improper | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
behaviour against him made by priests and seminarians in his care. | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
In his statement, he said it had been the anonymous and non-specific | :01:57. | :02:07. | |
:02:07. | :02:19. | ||
nature of the allegations that led Devoid of detail, the state may | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
grazes almost as many questions as it answers, but it seems to imply, | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
whatever wrong to ring he is admitting it, it may have extended | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
beyond the 1980s. Whatever else it tells us, his statement sits | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
uneasily with his years of outspoken denunciation of | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
homosexual relationships. I have to point out that he has been such a | :02:43. | :02:52. | |
vociferous critic of homosexuals, of gay adoption, he has been very | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
outspoken against same-sex marriage, and one of the priests involved | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
said to me tonight, after he had resigned, he felt sad for the | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
cardinal, but he also felt sad for the people over the years that he | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
had harmed. We have become more aware... But some Catholics insist | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
his failings are a rarity, among the church's thousands of priests. | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
We have high standards in the church. Priest take a promise of | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
celibacy. Sometimes, they break it, and that is not very good. We | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
understand we are all week. congregation in Edinburgh heard the | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
car that will's statement read out this evening at, and some remained | :03:38. | :03:46. | |
fiercely loyal. Nobody can believe it is true. He is going to talk for | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
himself eventually, and we will find out it is not true. He will | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
now face an inquiry, without any allegations of illegal behaviour, | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
it is expected to be an internal investigation. It will be carried | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
out by the Vatican and a new Pope, rather than the Church of Scotland, | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
and any punishment would be imposed from Rome. He said today she did | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
spend the rest of his life in retirement. Circumstances of that | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
:04:24. | :04:26. | ||
retirement will be up to the This comes at a very bad time for | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
the Catholic Church. The timing could not be worse, because in 10 | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
hours, the cardinals will gather to start the conversation about who | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
should succeed at Pope Benedict. We now know that, had these | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
allegations not been made public, had they stayed secret, and they | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
were known to the church before Pope Benedict resigned, he would be | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
here among them, taking part in the process to elect the next Pope. I | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
have had conversations about Cardinal O'Brien with several | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
priests and clerics, and you sense an unwillingness to believe these | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
allegations against a mad who of many admire and like. -- man. One | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
person said, could this be a Liberal vendetta against a man who | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
has stirred up for the teach-ins against homosexuality? That defence | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
is no longer available, these allegations are coming from inside | :05:26. | :05:34. | |
his own diocese. This is a home- baked cake. The cardinals gather | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
tomorrow, knowing that if this had stayed closed within the Church, | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
Cardinal O'Brien would be here with them, and that is what will be hard | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
to defend. The Queen has been admitted to | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
hospital in London as a precautionary measure, to be | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
assessed for gastroenteritis. She is expected to remain there under | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
observation for two days. All of her engagements for this week, | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
including a trip to Rome, will either be cancelled or postponed. | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
She was admitted to the King Edward VII hospital because the | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
gastroenteritis has not cleared up after two days. Her admission is | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
described as a precautionary measure to allow doctors to make a | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
more detailed assessment. The Queen is in good spirits, according to a | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
spokeswoman. She presented a long- service medal to a member of staff | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
at Windsor this morning before being driven to the hospital. She | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
is expected to remain in hospital for perhaps two days. It means all | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
of her engagements for the coming week, including a visit to Rome, | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
are being cancelled. Doctors say gastroenteritis can be debilitating | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
and patients need time to recover. The big danger is getting | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
dehydrated, you are much more likely to be dehydrated if you are | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
under six months, possibly under a year, and if you get to be much | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
older, and she may be in remarkable health, but she is 86. It is 10 | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
years since she was last admitted to hospital. Then, she had keyhole | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
surgery to her knees. Generally, her health continues to be | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
extremely good. A programme during the Diamond Jubilee celebrations | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
was piggy -- busy, and it was fulfilled without any problems. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
Although her husband was hospitalised with a bladder | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
infection. But for the Queen, neither age nor ill health have | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
ever been a major concern, and there is nothing to suggest that | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
this is anything more than an unpleasant stomach bug from which | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
she will make a full recovery. There will not be regular bulletins, | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
the hospital never issues them, the Palace is unlikely to. The Queen | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
will hate this kind of fuss being made. The important thing to stress | :07:58. | :08:07. | |
is that there is no sense of alarm about the turn of events. | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
Rebels in Syria will get more assistance from the UK, the Foreign | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
Secretary has told us. He said details would be announced to | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
Parliament this week. He said Britain could not full-out | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
providing arms to the rebels in the future. Bashar Al-Assad has accused | :08:25. | :08:35. | |
the UK of bullying and naivety over its policy towards his country | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
first. The shelling and shooting continues, | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
tearing apart a country in which the United Nations believes 70,000 | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
people have died since the uprising began almost two years ago. But the | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
President has accused the British Government of trying to militarised | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
the conflict in these remarks to the Sunday Times today. This | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
Government is acting in a naive, confused and unrealistic manner. | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
William Hague described that as one of the most additional interviews | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
given by any national leader in the modern times. This is a man | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
presiding over a slaughter. The message to him is, we in Britain | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
are the people sending food and shelter and blankets to help people | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
driven from their homes and families in his name. We are the | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
people sending medical supplies to try to look after people injured | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
and abused by the soldiers working for this man. At a conference in | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
Rome on Thursday, the Foreign Secretary spent time talking | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
tactics on Syria with his American counterpart, John Kerry. T United | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
States announced an extra $60 million of funding for the | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
opposition. William Hague said that, faced with the extreme humanitarian | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
distress of the Syrian civilians, Britain could not sit it out, and | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
although Almond the rebels is not yet policy, he made it clear he | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
would not rule it out in future. The group that represents more than | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
200,000 health workers in the UK has written to the government to | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
express concern about privatisation in the NHS in England. The Academy | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
of Medical Royal Colleges is demanding that the new rules on | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
which NHS activities in England should face competition from | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
private firms and charities be rewritten. | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
Once again, the government's changes to the NHS in England are | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
at the centre of a row. This time, over the competition for NHS | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
services from the private sector and charities. Private companies | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
such as Virgin are already providing care to NHS patients. | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
Services like this GP clinic in Birmingham. And, and the last | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
couple of years, other community- based care has been put out to | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
tender, things like hearing tests and physio services. Now, | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
regulations on how the NHS will have to work from April have | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
preferred it doctors, they say the government is looking to increase | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
competition, despite assurances given when the Bill was passed. | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
They point out that new groups are being told they can only give work | :11:17. | :11:27. | |
:11:27. | :11:31. | ||
to the NHS without competition if Doctors would be obliged to attend | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
a complex services to the private sector that would then possibly | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
disrupt those services. We want joined-up services, they need a | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
kind of service, and we are keen that should not be like producing a | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
mobile phone. The Prime Minister had to intervene to get the changes | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
through Parliament. But in his authority behind the help build and | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
promising there would be no competition and less it meant | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
patients would be benefited. Ministers said that has not changed. | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
Commissioners, doctors and nurses who plan and purchase services, | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
will not be forced to put services out to tender if they think that | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
that is not in the interests of their patients. It is entirely up | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
to them to use competition when they think that that is appropriate. | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
And not to use it when it is not. Nobody is going to force them. | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
Labour has said it will try to force a parliamentary debate and | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
vote on the regulations. The government does not have to allow | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
either, but with weeks to go until the new system comes into force | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
legally, it faces another row over what it will make for patients. | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
At least 45 people have been killed in a car-bomb attack in Pakistan's | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
biggest city Karachi. More than 100 others were wounded when two bombs | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
exploded in a Shia Muslim area of the city. | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
The veteran adventurer Sir Ranulph Fiennes says there is no reason for | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
him to stop going on further expeditions. That is after being | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
forced to abandon his latest of polar trip because of frostbite. At | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
68, he had been training to walk across Antarctica in winter, | :13:20. | :13:30. | |
:13:30. | :13:34. | ||
How do you feel? Not happy. Ranulph Fiennes announcing that | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
frostbite was forcing him to abandon his latest expedition | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
across Antarctica in the dead of winter. He left his five colleagues | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
behind and flew to Cape Town, where he told the of the moment it all | :13:48. | :13:57. | |
went wrong. His left hand suddenly going number. It is like what could | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
-- it is like wood, I knew it would be trouble. You knew it would be | :14:01. | :14:10. | |
over? I knew from the past that the situation had unexpectedly and | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
frustratingly reached a situation where the hand was not going to be | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
any good at -40, let alone -80. What do you do? Do you accept the | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
fact? The accident happened when he was on a ski track like this. He | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
suspects the possible onset of diabetes might explain why a hand | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
already damaged years ago by frostbite was injured again so | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
quickly. It is a huge blow. But he says he still has a key charity | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
fund-raising role. I will not be on the sidelines, I will be in the | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
middle of the spider's web, making sure that everything goes as well | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
as it can. Do you worry that your body or your sponsors or a | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
combination of going to say, that is it, that is your last | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
expedition? I cannot see this being my last as. There is no reason why | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
it should be. Future expeditions will have to be in an area where my | :15:08. | :15:16. | |
left hand does not get in the way. Packing for London, not knowing if | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
his damaged hand will ever work again. An extraordinary, gruelling | :15:22. | :15:32. | |
:15:32. | :15:38. | ||
And now the sports news. There was a lot riding on the North London | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
derby. Match Of The Day has highlights of | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
the only match in the Premier League today straight after the | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
news. But I have the result coming up. Tottenham beat Arsenal 2-1 at | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
White Hart Lane to move back up to third in the table. Gareth Bale and | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
Aaron Lennon scored Spurs' goals in the first half. Per Mertesacker | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
headed in for Arsenal but their defeat leaves them seven points | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
adrift of Spurs. Scottish Cup highlights are coming up on | :16:02. | :16:12. | |
Sportscene for viewers in Scotland. Dundee United and Hibernian have | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
joined Celtic and Falkirk in the semi-finals. Gary Mackay-Steven | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
scored Dundee United's winner against Dundee. Leigh Griffiths | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
scored a hat-trick for Hibernian as they beat Kilmarnock. The semi- | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
final draw is tomorrow. Great Britain have finished third in the | :16:25. | :16:33. | |
medal table at the European Indoor Athletics Championships. Perri | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
Shakes-Drayton won took gold medals. She was one of the poster girls at | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
the London Olympics, growing up close to the Olympic Park. She | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
might look back to this as the springboard for her career. Two | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
gold medals, anchoring the relay team after earlier claiming her | :16:50. | :16:58. | |
first individual title also in the 400 metres. Perri Shakes-Drayton | :16:58. | :17:08. | |
:17:08. | :17:08. | ||
wins in a super time. I cannot be complacent. I wanted to stay out of | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
trouble and be at the front and maintain it. I am now champion! | :17:13. | :17:23. | |
There was a battling bronze medal de Mukhtar Mohammed. Nigel Irvine | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
had to get past the Russian on the final bend of his 400 metres. He | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
took the silver but the Russian protested, only to be disqualified | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
himself. He also took part in the final event, the win looked clear | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
cut as Richard Strachan brought the baton home. Only to find out they | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
had been disqualified. Did Richard Buck step off the track? Was he | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
pushed? The appeal was successful. They signed off with their fourth | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
gold medal. Saracens are at the top of the | :18:00. | :18:05. |
