:02:27. > :02:33.power cuts. Here some have been without power since yesterday
:02:33. > :02:37.evening. We have no power, no mobile phone. No mains telephone,
:02:37. > :02:42.no internet access. Other than the car and the road we have no
:02:42. > :02:48.communication at all. And then there were problems on the
:02:48. > :02:52.motorways. This was the M62 from Manchester to Leeds. Drivers talked
:02:52. > :02:58.about blizzard-like conditions. There were 10-mile tailbacks and
:02:58. > :03:04.queues for two hours. Appalling weather. We are still trying to get
:03:04. > :03:09.to work. What's the M62 like? Appalling. On it's top of the hill
:03:09. > :03:12.there's a bus stuck and a wagon. Everyone is on the wrong side of
:03:12. > :03:16.the road. There've been weather warnings across parts of northern
:03:16. > :03:23.England, wheels and the Midlands. The hope is that the snow will move
:03:23. > :03:28.on and move on quickly. Well, the bad weather has led to
:03:28. > :03:31.fears that the fuel tanks of a cargo ship that ran aground in
:03:31. > :03:37.gale-force winds off the North Wales coast may have ruptured. The

:04:32. > :04:36.Eyewitness praised the bravery of all involved in the operation.
:04:36. > :04:43.has been a difficult evening for all concerned. The helicopter crews,
:04:43. > :04:46.the lifeboat crews, Certainly one many years. The helicopter crew
:04:46. > :04:51.also had a very difficult rescue there. Hovering very close to the
:04:51. > :04:55.ship in those conditions. From what I could see from the road the spray
:04:55. > :05:01.was reaching the helicopter. daylight the carrier remained on
:05:01. > :05:06.the rocks, still being pounded by a fierce Irish Sea. And fears turned
:05:06. > :05:09.to potential environmental damage. Some 40,000 litres of fuel are on

:05:18. > :05:22.difficult. David Cameron has defended Government plans for
:05:22. > :05:24.secret trials in more civil cases involving national security. The
:05:24. > :05:28.Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, has joined civil rights campaigners
:05:28. > :05:32.in expressing concern about the proposals. Saying that allowing
:05:32. > :05:35.Ministers not judges to order secret proceedings went too far.
:05:35. > :05:41.The Prime Minister said the Government would consult on the
:05:41. > :05:42.needed to be taken to protect the country's interests. Our political
:05:42. > :05:47.correspondent Carole Walker has more.
:05:47. > :05:52.He's taking a stand on a key Liberal principle. Nick Clegg
:05:52. > :05:55.believes the plans for secret trials go too far in tipping the
:05:55. > :05:59.delicate balance between security and civil liberties. He's written
:05:59. > :06:05.to the National Security Council, calling for the plans to be scaled
:06:05. > :06:11.back. I've been here as you know for 29 years arguing the case for
:06:11. > :06:15.civil liberties. One of the things defending the liberty of the
:06:15. > :06:17.citizen against the overmighty state. We took on Labour for 13
:06:18. > :06:22.years because they didn't understand that. The Government
:06:22. > :06:27.wants to hold some trials the behind closed doors so that
:06:27. > :06:30.sensitive intelligence can be used without exposing secret agents or
:06:30. > :06:36.their methods. The Lib Dems say they should local be allowed when
:06:36. > :06:40.national security is at state and that should be decided by a judge.
:06:40. > :06:43.The Justice Secretary said there'll be safeguards. No-one is riding
:06:43. > :06:47.roughshod over justice but you cannot have your spice giving
:06:47. > :06:51.sensitive information in public. The result is you don't hear them
:06:51. > :06:54.at all at the moment. There is no open justice. This makes the
:06:54. > :06:59.security services more accountable if that evidence is before the
:06:59. > :07:03.judge, even if it has to be heard in closed proceedings. The plans
:07:03. > :07:08.were drawn up after the case of Binyam Mohamed, a British citizen
:07:08. > :07:14.held at Guantanamo Bay. A summary of the CIA case against him was
:07:14. > :07:20.revealed in court. The Justice Secretary said the United States is
:07:20. > :07:25.now restricting the intelligence it is prepared to pass on. The lds are
:07:25. > :07:30.out to convince voters they are standing up -- the Liberal
:07:30. > :07:34.Democrats are out to convince voters that they are standing up
:07:34. > :07:38.for their core beliefs. The Government has signalled that it is
:07:38. > :07:41.prepared to look again at some of the detail of the proposals. But
:07:42. > :07:45.the Prime Minister made it clear that any compromise must not
:07:45. > :07:49.undermine national security. Where there are gaps that need to be
:07:49. > :07:52.plugged we need to plug those gaps. We should do that with consultation,
:07:52. > :07:57.with understanding, with a respect to our long traditions for liberty
:07:57. > :08:01.in this country, but nevertheless those gaps have to be dealt with.
:08:01. > :08:06.That is my responsibility and it is one I intend to fulfil. A after if
:08:06. > :08:10.row over plans to extend internet surveillance there is real tension
:08:10. > :08:15.within the coalition over the sensitive issue of security and
:08:15. > :08:19.civil liberties. Let's pick up on that last point with Carole. The
:08:19. > :08:23.tensions clearly there, but could you elaborate on where they lie
:08:23. > :08:26.precisely? Yes, Kate, you are right. Everyone agrees they want to
:08:26. > :08:29.appreciate national security but they want to protect the rights of
:08:29. > :08:34.the individuals as well. There are practical differences between the
:08:34. > :08:37.two sides. One of them is about the role of a judge. Ken Clarke, the
:08:37. > :08:41.Justice Secretary, is talking about some sort of power of judicial
:08:41. > :08:44.review if a case were to be held in secret. Be Liberal Democrats are
:08:44. > :08:47.saying they want to scheme Ministers out of it altogether if
:08:47. > :08:52.possible and it should be decided solely bay judge. The other
:08:52. > :08:57.question is about inquests. Nick Clegg has said clearly in his
:08:57. > :09:00.letter that he does not think any inquests should be held in secret,
:09:00. > :09:04.whereas Ken Clarke, the Justice Secretary, a Conservative, is
:09:04. > :09:07.saying well if we've got to consider matters of national
:09:07. > :09:12.security and sensitive intelligence in private in court cases, that has
:09:12. > :09:16.to apply to inquests as well. There are some real practical differences
:09:16. > :09:19.to be resolved here. I think everyone is well aware that there
:09:19. > :09:23.are people's lives and liberty at stake. They are going to have to
:09:23. > :09:27.try and get this right. Carole, thank you.
:09:27. > :09:31.Airlines say a shortage of pass report control staff could cause
:09:31. > :09:34.delays at airports in the UK over Easter and other peak periods. The

:10:02. > :10:05.and this year about a decision to reduce the level of checks. The
:10:05. > :10:10.Government found out and decided it didn't like that and restored the
:10:10. > :10:17.checks to 100%. But the UK Border Agency had let some staff go. The
:10:17. > :10:23.airlines are saying there is not enough staff to do the checks that
:10:23. > :10:29.are in place. Nobody I've spoken to has predicted gridlock over Easter.
:10:29. > :10:33.At Heathrow Airport and other airports the busiest weekend is not
:10:33. > :10:39.this weekend but next. But there's a concern that the queues are
:10:39. > :10:44.getting too long. Heathrow Airport says they have three hours of
:10:44. > :10:49.confuse sometimes at Terminal 4. They say that is not acceptable and
:10:49. > :10:54.there has to be an improvement in the staffing levels of the Border
:10:54. > :11:04.Agency. There's a wider concern among the airlines. Tom, thank you.

:12:28. > :12:33.should be just about back to normal. They have upped the tanker hours so
:12:33. > :12:36.there is more fuel being delivered. There has been a backlog. It has
:12:36. > :12:46.lasted longer than expected, but things should be fine. There could
