:00:26. > :00:28.emissions has been hailed as a "monumental" achievement.
:00:29. > :00:31.Nearly 200 countries have agreed to phase out the use of HFC

:00:46. > :00:57.Around the world, demand for air conditioners and other household

:03:40. > :03:44.When Dame Lowell Goddard resigned two months ago, it was thought part
:03:45. > :03:47.of the reason was the distance of her family in New Zealand. She wrote
:03:48. > :03:50.a MEP row to MPs outlining her concerns about the scale and scope
:03:51. > :03:53.of this inquiry. This week she's been forced to deny the allegations
:03:54. > :03:58.that you mentioned and the Home Office has said that it was made

:04:21. > :04:24.It's been beset by problems from the start. Asked about it, Mrs May said,
:04:25. > :04:28.this inquiry is very important, we have to remember about all the
:04:29. > :04:32.survivors and victims of child sexual abuse who deserve justice,
:04:33. > :04:34.but questions not just about what's gone before but where now it goes in
:04:35. > :04:39.future. Of course, thank you. Tens of thousands of pounds have
:04:40. > :04:41.been paid in compensation by the Ministry of Defence to a man
:04:42. > :04:45.and a woman who were the victims of sexual attacks by Libyan military

:05:36. > :05:40.seen here raped a man in his 20s. They are now serving 12 years in
:05:41. > :05:44.prison. Three other cadets were jailed for sexual assaulting four
:05:45. > :05:49.women on the same night. Lawyers for the man and one of the
:05:50. > :05:55.young women say the MoD could have prevented the attacks. The last
:05:56. > :06:02.couple of years has been incredibly traumatic. One of the victims in
:06:03. > :06:06.particular has been very, very badly affected by what happened to them.
:06:07. > :06:14.They've not been able to speak very much to anyone about what's happened
:06:15. > :06:18.to them. The MoD has apologised and paid compensation, but not admitted
