Good evening. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
Criticism is growing of two former
police officers who leaked | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
allegations that legal pornographic
images had been found on a work | 0:00:28 | 0:00:33 | |
computer of the Cabinet
minister Damian Green. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:34 | |
The former Chief Constable
of Greater Manchester, | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
Sir Peter Fahy, strongly rejected
suggestions it was in the public | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
interest to disclose information
allegedly found during the course | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
of an unrelated
investigation in 2008. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
Sir Peter said in his view
the officers were entering | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
"dangerous territory". | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
Here's our Political
Correspondent, Alex Forsyth. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:53 | |
Nine years ago, a police operation
that had unforeseen consequences. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:58 | |
This raid was part of an inquiry
into government leaks. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:04 | |
No one was charged,
but computers were seized | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
and examined. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
And on Damian Green's work
computer there was allegedly | 0:01:08 | 0:01:16 | |
legal pornography which he has
repeatedly said wasn't down to | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
him. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:19 | |
The claims were first made public
by former Met Assistant | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
Commissioner Bob Quick,
who feared they would be covered up. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
Then yesterday this
retired Met detective | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
also spoke out, saying he had no
doubt Mr Green viewed the material. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:31 | |
It's ridiculous to suggest that
anybody else could have done it. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
He had examined the computer
and thought it was in the public | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
interest to reveal
what he had found. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
The computer was in Mr Green's
office, on his desk. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
Logged in, his account, his name. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
But today the former
Chief Constable of Greater | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
Manchester Police condemned
the pair's actions. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
Most police officers would be very
uncomfortable about the | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
police getting involved in making
judgments about whether a politician | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
is lying or not. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
That is ultimately a matter
for the courts and for public | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
opinion. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
Or breaching this duty of keeping
matters confidential, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
which are gathered
in an investigation | 0:02:09 | 0:02:10 | |
unless they end up as evidence. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:16 | |
I didn't download or
look at pornography. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
Damian Green has always
denied the claims. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
His conduct is currently
subject to a Cabinet | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
Office investigation, the outcome
crucial. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
He is a close ally of Theresa May. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
How she deals with this
will be closely watched. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
So questions now, not
just over his political | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
future but the handling
of this whole affair. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:40 | |
Alex is in Downing Street this
evening. In the past half-hour we | 0:02:40 | 0:02:45 | |
have had a statement from the Chief
Inspector of Constabulary, Sir | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
Thomas Windsor. What does he say?
He's issued a statement in which he | 0:02:49 | 0:02:55 | |
effectively says the public confer
special trust on the police to keep | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
confidential anything they discover
in the course of investigations. He | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
that does not end when police
officers retire. He is effectively | 0:03:02 | 0:03:07 | |
criticising the actions of these two
retired officers. But does not mean | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
there will be further repercussions,
nonetheless he is whose word will be | 0:03:11 | 0:03:23 | |
listened to. That is one aspect of
this. The other is the conduct of | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
Damian Green. Theresa May could
receive a report about that within | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
the next few days and then it will
be up to her to decide what action | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
to take. Weighing up the fact that
she will not want to lose her de | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
facto Deputy Prime Minister, a close
Cabinet ally, with the need to be | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
seen to assert authority in this
situation. So while it is Damian | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
Green's actions which are under
investigation, the actions of | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
Theresa May will be just as closely
scrutinised. Alex, thank you. Alex | 0:03:44 | 0:03:50 | |
Forsyth in Downing Street. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
In the United States -
the Senate has passed | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
a sweeping tax reform bill,
clearing the way for the first big | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
legislative achievement
of Donald Trump's presidency. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
The plan includes a sharp cut
in corporation tax and reductions | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
for some individuals; it's estimated
the measures will add more | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
than a trillion dollars
to the budget deficit. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
From Washington, Laura
Bicker has the story. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:13 | |
Finally Donald Trump is on course
for a much-needed win. It looks like | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
he will claim a victory on tax
reform. We passed the largest tax | 0:04:17 | 0:04:24 | |
cuts in the history of our country
and many other things along with it. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:30 | |
The vote was close, the arm-twisting
continued until dawn. There were so | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
many last-minute changes that
senators had to scramble them in the | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
margins. Democrats say the package
will benefit big business and the | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
wealthy but Republicans believe it
will slash corporation taxes and | 0:04:42 | 0:04:47 | |
help the middle classes. For
Republicans and the President tax | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
bill was a welcome distraction from
the other Washington drama. Donald | 0:04:51 | 0:05:01 | |
Trump's former national Security
adviser Michael Flynn pleading | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
guilty to lying to the FBI about his
meetings with Russians. The former | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
three star general had played a key
part in Donald Trump 's campaign and | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
lead this chant about his rival,
Hillary Clinton, which will live in | 0:05:12 | 0:05:18 | |
infamy. If I did one tenth of what
she did, I would be in jail today. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:25 | |
In court Mr Flynn apologised for
lying about his meetings with | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
Russians. But more worryingly for
the White House prosecutors say that | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
he will testify that he was told to
contact Russia by the Trump team of | 0:05:33 | 0:05:38 | |
officials, one of whom is believed
to be the President's son-in-law | 0:05:38 | 0:05:43 | |
Jared Kushner. But the president
remains defiant. What has been shown | 0:05:43 | 0:05:48 | |
is no collusion. No collusion. There
has been absolutely no are very | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
happy. President Trump has treated
that he fired general Flynn because | 0:05:52 | 0:05:58 | |
of his lies and said it was a shame
because his actions were not | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
unlawful and he had nothing to hide.
This should have been a momentous | 0:06:02 | 0:06:07 | |
day for Mr Trump. After all
Republicans finally united behind | 0:06:07 | 0:06:12 | |
tax reform. But instead the spectre
of this Russian investigation | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
continues to loom over the White
House. Laura Bicker, BBC News, | 0:06:16 | 0:06:20 | |
Washington. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
Barclays Bank says it will no longer
offer Russian anti-virus software | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
free of charge to its customers. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
It comes after officials
recommended that government | 0:06:28 | 0:06:29 | |
departments stop using Kaspersky Lab
products because of fears they could | 0:06:29 | 0:06:34 | |
be exploited by the Kremlin. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
The National Cyber Security Centre
says the advice doesn't | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
apply to domestic users. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:39 | |
Kaspersky Lab denies any links
to the Russian government. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:49 | |
Our Business Correspondent
Joe Lynam is here ... | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
What more can you tell us? | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
Hundreds of thousands of customers
have this software. For the software | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
to work it must have access to
hundreds of thousands of files to | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
protect from malware. Yet the
National Security Council believes | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
that in itself may be exposed to
Russian hacking, potentially from | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
the Kremlin. They have written to a
public sector body, as you say, | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
saying, we don't think you should
use this software. Get Barclays has | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
gone further. It is written to its
new users, it is written to the | 0:07:16 | 0:07:28 | |
290,000 people who already have this
software, saying, this is the | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
advice, we won't be giving this out
to new customers. However, the bank | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
and the National cyber Security
Centre are stressing not to | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
instantly uninstall the software
less it exposes you to the malware | 0:07:36 | 0:07:42 | |
unless you have got new antivirus
software in place. We are | 0:07:42 | 0:07:48 | |
disappointed, they say, that
Barclays has discontinued offering | 0:07:48 | 0:07:55 | |
Kaspersky Lab software, note that
the national cyber Security council | 0:07:55 | 0:08:00 | |
is not cancelling business against
using Kaspersky Lab software. Thank | 0:08:00 | 0:08:06 | |
you Joe. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |

Australia will be the happier
of the two sides at the close of day | 0:08:09 | 0:08:14 | |
one of the second Ashes Test. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:15 | |
Craig Overton made
a superb start in Adelaide | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
to his England Test career. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:20 | |
He claimed the wicket of Australia
captain Steve Smith on his | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
debut. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:24 | |
After being put in to bat,
the hosts eventually closed a | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
rain-interrupted day on 209-4. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:28 | |
England's first Rugby League World
Cup final since 1995 has | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
ended in a disappointing
defeat to Australia. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
They were narrowly beaten 6-0
by the hosts in Brisbane, | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
who are crowned world champions
for the 11th time. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
Adam Wild reports. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:44 | |
When you've come so far,
got so close, defeat can | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
feel almost unbearable. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:48 | |
But sometimes you have
to go that distance | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
to show just how far you've come. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:55 | |
For England, a first
Rugby League World Cup final | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
in more than 20 years,
but against Australia in Australia, | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
there is no tougher test. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:04 | |
COMMENTATOR: England hope for glory. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:05 | |
Australia expects. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:06 | |
From the very first,
this was always a battle, | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
brutal at times. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:10 | |
James Graham here feeling the full
force and bearing the early scars. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
With the stakes so high, | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
the scoreline remained
frustratingly low. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
Boyd Cordner the only
one to break through, | 0:09:18 | 0:09:23 | |
Australia ahead by
the very tightest margin | 0:09:23 | 0:09:24 | |
but England unable
to close that gap. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
Their World Cup summed up perfectly
in one agonising moment. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
Kallum Watkins finally
clear, a huge chance | 0:09:31 | 0:09:39 | |
but falling painfully short
with the very faintest final touch. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
Those England players sink
to their knees, | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
but it is Australia
who are world champions again. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
Come a long way the last few years,
certainly very disappointing, | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 |
