More than 30 people are confirmed to have drowned, after a boat carrying | :00:04. | :00:08. | |
migrants capsized off southern Italy. It's the latest in a series | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
of accidents - Malta warns that the Mediterranean is becoming a | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
graveyard for African migrants. A judge rules that two children must | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
have the MMR vaccine - against their wishes. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
Newspapers have strongly criticised government proposals for independent | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
self-regulation of the Press. And half a million people flee | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
India's eastern coastline - as a huge cyclone closes in. | :00:35. | :00:59. | |
Good afternoon. The Prime Minister of Malta has warned that the | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
Mediterranean is becoming a cementary fo of migrants from | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
Africa. That after a boat laden with people seeking to cross from North | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
Africa. That after a boat laden with Africa capsized. It was said that | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
southern European countries are feeling oned urging the EU to take | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
action. Last week 300 migrants drowned. | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
These are the grainy images of unimaginable horror. Of panic at | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
sea. As people struggle after an hour in the water to stay alive. | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
Many were rescued. Dozens did not make it. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
Many were rescued. Dozens did not Boats and helicopters took the | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
injured to hospitals in Italy and to Malta. On board this vessel, mainly | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
Syrians and Palestinians. They had phoned ahead to friends here in | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
Syrians and Palestinians. They had Italy, to say that they were on | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
their way. On the dockside in lamp duda, a few | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
of the survivors arrived in the dead of the night. Among them a young | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
couple clutching their baby. -- lamp duza. | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
Brought here by an Italian boat, after suffering unbearable loss. We | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
learned that they had had to choose which of their children to save. | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
The father and the mother were able to save the daughter, the | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
nine-month-old daughter but were unable to save their son. He was in | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
front of them on the sea. They left him there. They were in the water | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
for one hour before being rescued. Last week, another boat sank. More | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
than 300 died. Among them were many children. | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
The Prime Minister of Malta says something must be done. | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
We are just building a cementary within our Mediterranean sea. | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
We are seeing these people abandoned. | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
We act as rescuers, as hospitals but we feel like we are on our own. | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
Some argue that the solution is to start more legal means of migration | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
to Europe. To open up channels officially to allow people to escape | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
war and poverty safely, but that does not fit in with the political | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
debate in European countries, where the instinct is to tighten the #i78 | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
congratulation law, not to loosen them. Whatever the policy response | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
it is clear that the boats will continue to come. Some will never | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
arrive. The newspaper industry is | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
considering its response to proposals by the three main | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
Westminster parties for self-regulation of the press. It | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
follows the Leveson report on press standards. Politicians want the | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
newspapers to adopt their amended cross-party royal charrer, but a | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
number of journalists said it threatens the press freedom. | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
We have this report. -- Royal Charter. The politicians | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
and the press appearing as divided as ever over a system of newspaper | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
regulation. There is now agreement among the three main parties at | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
Westminster over a new Royal Charter, that the politicians say | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
will safeguard the freedom of the press, but there are growing signs | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
that few, if any newspapers, are ready to sign up to the deal. The | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
new version will allow eders to to draw up a code of conduct. Thereby a | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
redress to seek many claims and Parliament needs a two thirds | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
majority to alter the charter, but the industry prefers its own | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
charter, rejected by Parliamentarians and wants no | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
political influence with Parliament unable to enforce changes in the | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
future. They want a bigger role for the newspaper editors in overseeing | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
the regulator. I don't believe that the | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
publisheses' Royal Charter will be I don't believe that the | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
backed by the press as it is from politicians. They should have no say | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
what soever in the running of a free press that is not democracy. | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
But many of those affected by the phone hacking scandal that sparked | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
the episode, believe that the newspapers have foregone their right | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
to have say over their own regulation. | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
They have failed completely with self-regulation. They are now | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
telling the paper that this is statutory regulation, this is | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
control over what is in the paper but it is nothing like that. | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
Today, the editor of the Daily Mail said rows between the polices in the | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
press showed why Parliament should keep out of newspaper regulation. | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
-- polices. Editors say that they are wholly | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
unconvinced. A funeral service has been held for | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
a mother and three children who died in a suspected arson attack in | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
Leicester. Hundreds turned out in Dublin as the mother and her | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
children were laid to rest. The mourning was led by her husband, Dr | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
Taufiq. A High Court judge ruled that two | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
sisters, aged 11 and 15, must have the MMR jab, against their wishes -- | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
wishes and those of their mother. The girls' parents decided not to | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
have the girls vaccinated but then the father changed his mind after he | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
and his wife divorced. He began the legal proceedings to ensure that | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
they have the treatment. What is the background to this? The reason this | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
case is interesting is because of the age of the girls. One is 11, but | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
the older is 156789 in English law, the age of the girls. One is 11, but | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
teenagers who are 16 are able to make their own decisions about | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
medical treatments. So this older child is very much on the cusp of | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
the decision-making age. The reason that the issue came to court is as | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
you say, the father changed his mind about the vaccine. That is for two | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
reasons: One because the claims about a link between MMR and autism | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
have been universally and wholesaly discredited. The second, at the end | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
of last year, there was an outbreak of measles in Swansea. He said | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
seeing that, the distress that the children were in, that he decided he | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
would like the girls immunised. The mother and the girls throughout have | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
said that they did not want the vaccine. The judge at the High Court | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
has had to make a complex decision. It is surrounded, the central issue, | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
surrounding what was in the best interests of the children. In the | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
case of the 11-year-old, that was straightforward. The judge said that | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
having the MMR jab benefits far outweighed the risks, but as far as | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
having the MMR jab benefits far the 15-year-old was concerned, the | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
judge had to take seriously her views. So, using evidence, the judge | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
took a look at whether or not the 15-year-old was competent to make a | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
decision about her treatment. In this case, the judge decided that | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
having seen the evidence, she felt that the 15-year-old was not able to | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
weigh up the complexities of the risks and the benefits of the jab | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
and as a result she has ordered that both girls have to have the MMR jab. | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
Thank you. Now, over half a million people have | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
been forced to evacuate their homes in India. A massive cyclone is | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
threatening the country's coastline. Cyclone Phailin, larger than the | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
size of France, is expected to hit the states of Orissa Andhra Pradesh | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
and. Our correspondent, Sanjoy Majumder, is in Orissa. | :08:44. | :08:51. | |
There is a sense of urgency on India's east coast, with Cyclone | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
Phailin hours away. Villagers along the coast have emptied -- emptied | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
out, the fishermen scramble to get their boats to shore. There are | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
signs of what is in store with the strong winds bringing down the trees | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
and heavy rain lashing the coast. Everyone's being told to get out of | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
the way of Cyclone Phailin. It is said to be the fiercest in two | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
decades. The weather officials warned that the Cyclone Phailin will | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
lead to storm surges up to three metres high and floods along the | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
entire coast. So the effort now is to save lives. The Navy and the air | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
foersz are on standby, ready to swing into action. Emergency rations | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
and supplies have been ready for the relief effort for the hundreds and | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
the thousands that could be stranded or made homeless. And over the Bay | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
of Bengal, the Cyclone Phailin is gathering pace. | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
Sanjoy joins me live now. Sanjoy, what is the latest? You can see that | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
the ity the wind behind Mijas gotten stronger in the past hour. It is | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
pelting down with rain. Cyclone Phailin is about 15 miles | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
away from us. It is over the coast about 15 miles from where I am | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
standing now. It is here it is expected to make land fall sometimes | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
in the next hour or maybe two hours. The authorities have done all that | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
they can. The coastline has been evacuated. There are only a few | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
people who have refused to leave. Everyone else has been moved to the | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
storm shelters. The Emergency Services on standby, the armed | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
forces, as you have heard, have been placed on alert. So everyone is just | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
watching and waiting. This is an area of India used to the storms. | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
They have had fierce ones before, but this time around, no-one is sure | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
what to pekt. -- what to expect. | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
Thank you. We are here with a full roundup of | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
