:00:22. > :00:31.The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, has accused some EU leaders of
:00:32. > :00:35.cowardice for backing Jean-Claude Juncker as the next EU Commission
:00:36. > :00:37.President at a summit in Brussels despite British opposition.
:00:38. > :00:42.Mr Hunt defended the Prime Minister?s handling of the issue
:00:43. > :00:45.and said the EU had a lot of work to do to persuade British people that
:00:46. > :00:46.Europe could be trusted with reform. Our political correspondent
:00:47. > :00:57.Alan Soady reports. David Cameron's rift with European
:00:58. > :01:01.leaders does not end with his failure to stop Jean-Claude Juncker.
:01:02. > :01:05.It opens up the questions over the UK's relationship with the EU. The
:01:06. > :01:10.Prime Minister went to Brussels not just to argue over who gets one of
:01:11. > :01:15.the EU's top jobs, but also to make it easier in future to negotiate
:01:16. > :01:20.powers being given back to Britain. His friends think other European
:01:21. > :01:23.leaders have let him down. As a result of cowardice yesterday from
:01:24. > :01:27.other leaders who were not prepared to stand up in public and say the
:01:28. > :01:31.things they had said in private, they are going to have to work a lot
:01:32. > :01:37.harder to persuade the British people that Europe can be trusted
:01:38. > :01:40.with a proper reform agenda that can make us strong and competitive in a
:01:41. > :01:45.tough global economy and they have got a lot of work to do. It has not
:01:46. > :01:49.been plain sailing for David Cameron but he is hoping EU leaders will
:01:50. > :01:53.start pulling in his direction, people like the German Chancellor
:01:54. > :01:58.Angela Merkel and the man rowing the boat, Sweden's Prime Minister
:01:59. > :02:01.Fredrik Reinfeldt. He has indicated he is sympathetic to the idea of the
:02:02. > :02:07.UK loosening its ties with the EU but David Cameron's critics think he
:02:08. > :02:11.has played it badly. It is now clear that David Cameron and the
:02:12. > :02:15.Conservative Party pose a clear and present danger to our economy.
:02:16. > :02:20.Labour, which would win arguments and build up reform of the European
:02:21. > :02:24.Union, or David Cameron who by his own admission is taking us closer to
:02:25. > :02:33.the exit door of the European Union, which would threaten 3 million jobs
:02:34. > :02:36.across the UK. After losing yesterday's vote, David Cameron had
:02:37. > :02:39.to sign up to Jean-Claude Juncker after all, a man he knows he will

:02:52. > :02:56.Joining us from there is our defence correspondent Caroline Wyatt.
:02:57. > :03:03.What is the significance of this event? In fact they have already
:03:04. > :03:07.joined us. Over my shoulder is David Cameron, to the right of Her Royal

:03:17. > :03:19.marching from Stirling Castle to celebrate the work of the armed
:03:20. > :03:23.forces and pay tribute to them and honoured the sacrifices that they
:03:24. > :03:28.make. Here in Scotland everything is political of course. There may be no
:03:29. > :03:31.politics on obvious display as the marchers go by, but this is being
:03:32. > :03:36.held in the shadow of Stirling Castle, where the English and Scots
:03:37. > :03:44.once fought bitterly, and also in the shadow of the referendum taking
:03:45. > :03:47.place in September. Although none of the armed forces are talking about
:03:48. > :03:49.it of course, it is clear there will be questions over what will happen
:03:50. > :03:53.in the event of the Scottish referendum deciding the Scots would
:03:54. > :03:59.go ahead with independence. What would happen to the historic
:04:00. > :04:03.Scottish regiments and the nuclear deterrent? Would Scotland remain a
:04:04. > :04:08.member of NATO? All of those questions perhaps being addressed by
:04:09. > :04:09.the politicians behind me but not by the people enjoying a day out with

:04:41. > :04:43.compensation it paid to hundreds of businesses after the oil spill in
:04:44. > :04:45.the Gulf of Mexico four years ago. It says many of
:04:46. > :04:48.the awards were entirely unwarranted because they were based on a false
:04:49. > :04:52.picture of the losses suffered. It is the latest stage
:04:53. > :04:53.in a long legal battle fought by BP to limit their compensation bill

:05:34. > :05:40.We forget perhaps that the army that fought in the First World War was
:05:41. > :05:45.overwhelmingly a volunteer army. Many young man answered the call. So
:05:46. > :05:48.the Queen was here to attend a Drumhead Service of Remembrance for
:05:49. > :05:52.all those who volunteered to serve in the First World War and of course
:05:53. > :05:56.the many hundreds of thousands who perished, losing their lives in that
:05:57. > :06:00.war. We recall that the total number of British military deaths in the
:06:01. > :06:06.First World War was not far short of 1 million. This service, attended
:06:07. > :06:13.also by the great grandnephew of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, on a
:06:14. > :06:16.morning of remembrance when those events of 100 years ago, when the

:06:56. > :07:01.its gravel and growl hang out in a career spanning half a century. He
:07:02. > :07:04.sang at Glastonbury only last year. The singer-songwriter influenced
:07:05. > :07:13.generations of musicians, from the Rolling Stones to Damon Albarn.
:07:14. > :07:16.Bobby Womack was born in 1944 in Cleveland. His parents told him he
:07:17. > :07:22.could sing his way out of the ghetto and he did just that, first with his
:07:23. > :07:27.brothers as The Valentinos and then in a solo career as a singer
:07:28. > :07:31.songwriter. His songs were recorded by Janis Joplin, Wilson Pickett and
:07:32. > :07:36.many others, but he had to be persuaded to allow a young upcoming
:07:37. > :07:42.British band to record his son It?s All Over Now. He said one day you
:07:43. > :07:51.will be part of history. This group is going to be huge. He said why
:07:52. > :07:54.don't they get their own song? I think the solar industry in
:07:55. > :08:00.particular will remember him with great affection. It is a very sad
:08:01. > :08:04.loss because he had a very great talent. Bobby Womack struggled with
:08:05. > :08:09.drugs and health problems. He has died at the age of 70. The Rolling

:08:35. > :08:45.Katherine Downes is there now. Any sign that play will start soon?
:08:46. > :08:49.People Saturday, as it is known at Wimbledon, looks like one of
:08:50. > :08:53.contrasts. We have had heavy showers this morning but others are off so
:08:54. > :08:58.we have just had an announcement that they will be getting under way
