:00:23. > :00:26.Good afternoon. The Prime Minister of Malta has warned that the
:00:26. > :00:29.Mediterranean is becoming a cemetery for migrants, following the deaths
:00:29. > :00:32.of at least 30 more people who drowned when their boat capsized
:00:32. > :00:35.yesterday. Joseph Muscat said southern European countries felt
:00:35. > :00:39.abandoned and urged the EU to take action. The latest tragedy took
:00:39. > :00:42.place 70 miles off Lampedusa, the Italian island where 300 migrants
:00:42. > :00:50.drowned last week. From there, Matthew Price reports.
:00:51. > :00:58.The survivors said they had been in the water for an hour before their
:00:58. > :01:04.rescuers arrived. Imagine the panic, all alone at sea, as they tried to
:01:04. > :01:11.stay alive. Tried to rescue their children. Aboard this vessel it was
:01:11. > :01:16.mainly Palestinians, and Syrians. Some had phoned ahead to friends
:01:16. > :01:21.already in Italy to say they were on their way. By night, those who
:01:21. > :01:27.survived were being taken to safety, to hospitals in Italy and Malta and
:01:27. > :01:31.a few here to the dockside in Lampedusa. Among them, a young
:01:31. > :01:38.couple clutching their baby. Brought here by Italian boat, after
:01:38. > :01:44.suffering an unbearable loss. As the sun came up, we learned they had had
:01:44. > :01:47.to choose which of their children to save. The father and the mother were
:01:47. > :01:51.able to save the daughter, the save. The father and the mother were
:01:51. > :01:59.nine-month-old daughter, but they were not able to save the son that
:01:59. > :02:04.was in front of them. They left him there. They were in this state for
:02:04. > :02:08.one hour in the water before being rescued. No wonder there were calls
:02:08. > :02:15.from some for urgent action to address the problem. We are just
:02:15. > :02:21.building a cemetery been our Mediterranean Sea. We feel abandoned
:02:21. > :02:27.regarding Europe's frontier. Yes, we have patrols, we act as rescuers,
:02:27. > :02:31.but we feel on our own. Some argue that the solution is to start more
:02:31. > :02:36.legal means of migration to Europe, to open up official channels to
:02:36. > :02:39.allow people to escape war and poverty safely. And yet that doesn't
:02:39. > :02:44.fit in with the political debate in many European countries where the
:02:44. > :02:50.instinct right now is to tighten immigration laws, not loosen them.
:02:50. > :02:56.Today a sorry procession of lorries, each filled with coffins arrived at
:02:56. > :03:00.the port here. The dead from last week's sinking, more than 300. There
:03:00. > :03:04.the port here. The dead from last was no ceremony as they loaded them
:03:04. > :03:16.on to a boat to take them to the mainland. This is the human cost of
:03:16. > :03:19.this great migration. Labour has joined the Government in
:03:19. > :03:21.urging newspapers to accept the latest proposals for press
:03:21. > :03:24.regulation, put forward by the three main political parties. The party's
:03:24. > :03:27.deputy leader, Harriet Harman said the industry had nothing to fear
:03:27. > :03:31.from the proposed Royal Charter and it would be very regrettable if they
:03:31. > :03:38.tried to challenge it in the courts. Our political correspondent Carole
:03:38. > :03:42.Walker reports. The three party leaders have reached
:03:42. > :03:45.a rare agreement on press regulations backed by a Royal
:03:45. > :03:50.Charter. But the newspapers have made it clear they'll reject their
:03:50. > :03:53.plan. So what next? Should the politicians impose new rules? I
:03:53. > :03:57.don't think that the Government wants to impose direct regulation
:03:57. > :04:02.and neither do any of the political parties or parliament. Actually we
:04:02. > :04:05.want the press to set up a system. The trunl of -- trouble of what's
:04:06. > :04:09.happened in the past they've always said we will mend our ways, set up a
:04:09. > :04:15.tough new independent system and after it slipped back. The
:04:15. > :04:20.politicians have already made some changes, allowing editors to help
:04:20. > :04:25.draw up a new Code of Conduct, charge ago fee for arbitration and
:04:25. > :04:28.requiring a two-thirds majority in parliament to change rules. But the
:04:28. > :04:32.newspapers have their own charter, already rejected by senior
:04:32. > :04:36.parliamentarians. It says there should be no political influence
:04:36. > :04:40.with parliament prevented from making changes. And newspaper
:04:40. > :04:45.editors should have a bigger role in overseeing the new regulator. I
:04:45. > :04:49.don't believe there's any chance whatsoever that this politicians'
:04:49. > :04:54.Royal Charter will be backed by the press, because it's from politicians
:04:54. > :04:59.and politicians should have no say whatsoever in the running of a free
:04:59. > :05:03.press. That's not democracy. Today the editor of the Daily Mail said
:05:03. > :05:08.the recent row between his paper and the Labour leader Ed Miliband showed
:05:08. > :05:12.why parliament should keep out of press regulation. The differences
:05:12. > :05:16.between the papers and the party leaders are small in practical
:05:16. > :05:20.terms, and both sides say they want to protect the freedom of the press.
:05:20. > :05:25.But the newspapers fear that important principle would be
:05:25. > :05:29.undermined if parliament has a say in how they're regulated. Many
:05:29. > :05:33.Conservative MPs share that concern and warn any system drawn up without
:05:33. > :05:38.the agreement of the newspapers will lead to legal battles and more
:05:38. > :05:47.acrimonious rows between press and politicians in future.
:05:47. > :05:51.A funeral service has been held for a mother and three children who died
:05:51. > :05:54.in a suspected arson attack in Leicester a month ago. Hundreds of
:05:54. > :05:57.mourners, led by her husband, Dr Muhammad Taufiq Al Sattar, turned
:05:57. > :06:00.out in Dublin, as Shehnila, and their children - Zainab, Bilal, and
:06:00. > :06:10.Jamil - were laid to rest. Eight people have been charged in
:06:10. > :06:13.connection with the deaths. Over half a million people have been
:06:13. > :06:16.forced to evacuate their homes in India as a massive cyclone has
:06:16. > :06:18.reached the country's eastern coastline. The cyclone is sweeping
:06:19. > :06:21.in across the Bay of Bengal to strike the states of Orissa and
:06:21. > :06:24.Andhra Pradesh. Our correspondent Sanjoy Majumder is in the town of
:06:24. > :06:28.Berhampur, not far from where the cyclone is due to make landfall.
:06:28. > :06:34.It's the biggest cyclone India has seen in years. The entire coast
:06:34. > :06:40.lashed with heavy rain and strong winds. Fishermen struggling to save
:06:40. > :06:46.lashed with heavy rain and strong their boats. As it approached the
:06:46. > :06:51.coast emptied out. Many people have been moved to temporary shelters in
:06:51. > :06:57.one of the largest evacuations in India's history. Among them these
:06:57. > :07:04.children, cold and miserable after their ordeal. These are the lucky
:07:04. > :07:07.ones who have managed to get away. But they're worried about what
:07:07. > :07:13.they've left behind. TRANSLATION: I have come to take
:07:13. > :07:17.shelter to save myself from the cyclone. My son has to stay with his
:07:17. > :07:21.wife because of cattle and our belongings but I don't know if
:07:21. > :07:26.they're safe. I have come with my family to save us from the cyclone.
:07:26. > :07:31.Our house is destroyed. The Navy and air force are on stand-by, ready to
:07:31. > :07:39.swing into action. Emergency rations and supplies are being readied for
:07:39. > :07:46.the thousands who might be stranded or homeless. It is the biggest
:07:46. > :07:53.deployment for a single disaster, so far, about 2,300 people and
:07:53. > :07:58.personnel, including medical first responders and other technical
:07:58. > :08:03.people with heavy equipment to deal with search and rescue. Already the
:08:03. > :08:09.impact of the cyclone has been felt in some areas. This temple is
:08:09. > :08:13.submerged in flood waters. But with the storm expected to last several
:08:13. > :08:24.hours, it will be a while before the damage can be assessed.
:08:24. > :08:29.More than 100,000 people have lined the streets of Vietnam's capital
:08:29. > :08:39.Hanoi to pay their respects to the general who helped win victory in
:08:39. > :08:44.the Vietnam War. General Von Gwin Zap led troops who defeated the
:08:44. > :08:47.French administration in 1954 and played a pivotal role in driving the
:08:47. > :08:56.French administration in 1954 and Americans out of his country.
:08:56. > :09:00.Sport now, and in Formula One Red Bull will start the Japanese Grand
:09:00. > :09:02.Prix on pole but this time it's not Sebastian Vettel, but his team-mate
:09:02. > :09:06.Mark Webber. The Australian, who will quit the sport at the end of
:09:06. > :09:09.the season, set the fastest lap at Suzuka to claim his first pole of
:09:09. > :09:11.the year. But Vettel, who was second quickest, could yet clinch his
:09:11. > :09:14.fourth straight World championship title if he wins tomorrow. Lewis
:09:14. > :09:16.Hamilton will start third. Despite fears for its future, Rugby
:09:16. > :09:20.Union's top European club competition - the Heineken Cup - is
:09:20. > :09:23.under way this weekend and it's Edinburgh who have caused an early
:09:23. > :09:26.shock. This try from Scotland winger Tim Visser helped them upset Munster
:09:26. > :09:28.at Murrayfield, 29 points to 23. Elsewhere Welsh side Scarlets are
:09:28. > :09:43.beating Harlequins and Northampton are losing to Castre.
:09:43. > :09:43.That's it. I will be back on BBC1 at 10.15pm. Now we join the news teams
