:02:06. > :02:08.For the first time in 40 years doctors have voted in favour of
:02:08. > :02:12.industrial action in response to the Government's planned changes to
:02:12. > :02:17.their pensions. Ministers have argued the current pension scheme
:02:17. > :02:19.is unsustainable. Within the last hour the doctors' union, the
:02:19. > :02:24.British Medical Association, has confirmed that non-urgent care will
:02:24. > :02:34.be cancelled next month. Our health correspondent, Branwen Jeffreys,
:02:34. > :02:35.
:02:35. > :02:38.has this report. Doctors train long and hard to qualify. Their pay and
:02:38. > :02:43.pensions reflect their unique responsibilities. But now like
:02:43. > :02:47.other public sector employees they face pension changes, and they are
:02:47. > :02:51.angry. Angry enough for more than whatever to bother voting, with a
:02:51. > :02:55.clear majority in favour of industrial action. This is not
:02:55. > :02:59.about seeking preferential treatment. This is about seeking
:02:59. > :03:04.fair treatment. It is not too late for the Government to change its
:03:04. > :03:09.mind. We would far prefer to negotiate a fairer solution rather
:03:09. > :03:13.than take industrial action. what are the doctors' pension
:03:13. > :03:17.changes? They've begun paying higher contribution. For some that
:03:17. > :03:21.could rise to up to 14% of their salary before tax. The retirement
:03:21. > :03:28.age will go up to 6le for those starting work now. And the pension
:03:28. > :03:33.they will be paid will be less when they stop working. Tom is nearing
:03:33. > :03:38.retirement as a GP. He's also a local union rep in Bristol. He says
:03:38. > :03:43.many doctors feel angry and disillusioned. The NHS pension was
:03:43. > :03:46.renegotiated only four years ago. We are very upset because of the
:03:46. > :03:49.way the Government's gone about things. They had one agreement
:03:49. > :03:54.before and they've torn it up and tried for another one. Who knows
:03:54. > :03:58.what will happen in future But NHS managers are warning patients will
:03:58. > :04:02.suffer as a result. Urgent and emergency care won't be affected.
:04:02. > :04:05.That's things like A&E or maternity care, but routine appointments and
:04:05. > :04:08.operations could be delayed. We are clear that the action they are
:04:08. > :04:12.proposing is a strike. They are going to come into work but not do
:04:12. > :04:16.the work they would be scheduled to do. But they will be there doing
:04:16. > :04:21.emergencies. As an employers' organisation and local employers
:04:21. > :04:25.will work closely with the BMA to put robust plans in place to make
:04:25. > :04:29.sure patients are carried for when they need urgent care, but there'll
:04:29. > :04:33.be inevitably be distress for patients. The last time doctors
:04:33. > :04:38.took industrial action was almost 40 years ago, but a lot has changed
:04:38. > :04:42.since the 1970. The Government says doctors can't be exempt from
:04:42. > :04:47.pensions changes, and under this offer they would still get a very
:04:47. > :04:51.good deal. A junior doctor starting out in three years' time in the NHS
:04:51. > :04:55.could look forward to a pension equivalent to �68,000 a year. There
:04:55. > :04:58.is people the length andth of the country who will say that's an
:04:58. > :05:02.excellent pension. But the stage is now set for a stand-off, with
:05:02. > :05:08.doctors on one side and the Government on the other.
:05:08. > :05:11.And Branwen joins me now. This is difficult, not just for the
:05:11. > :05:15.politicians but I presume also for the doctors as well? This is a
:05:15. > :05:18.situation fraught with difficulty, Kate, for both sides. On the one
:05:18. > :05:22.hand the last thing the Government wants is another stand-off with
:05:22. > :05:28.doctors. It has just spent the last 18 months arguing with them over
:05:28. > :05:31.the health changes to the NHS in England. Now it faces this row over
:05:31. > :05:36.pensions. But on the other hand, doctors who've always commanded a
:05:36. > :05:40.very high level of public respect. They've always had public opinion
:05:40. > :05:43.behind them on many issues, they now face having the details of
:05:44. > :05:48.their pension pored over. To many people working in the private
:05:48. > :05:52.sector, they may look as though they are getting quite a generous
:05:52. > :05:57.deal. And that planned action is 21st June? Yes.
:05:57. > :06:01.Branwen, thank you. David Cameron's former head of
:06:01. > :06:05.communications, Andy Coulson, is on his way to Scotland after being
:06:05. > :06:09.detained by Strathclyde Police in London this morning. He is under
:06:09. > :06:13.suspicion of committing perjury in relation to evidence he gave at the
:06:13. > :06:18.trial of the Scottish politician Tommy Sheridan. Matt Prodger has
:06:18. > :06:21.this report. It does contain flash photography.
:06:21. > :06:27.Andy Coulson was once the Prime Minister's head of communications
:06:27. > :06:29.and before that the editor of the News of the World. I came here
:06:29. > :06:33.today voluntarily... Last summer he was arrested by the Metropolitan
:06:33. > :06:38.Police on suspicion of phone hacking and corruption. He is still
:06:38. > :06:43.on bail. But at 6.30pm Scottish police officers arrived at his home
:06:43. > :06:48.in South London and detained him on suspicion of perjury, or lying in
:06:48. > :06:52.court. It relates to the trial in Glasgow of the Scottish politician
:06:52. > :06:56.Tommy Sheridan, at which Mr Coulson gave evidence two years ago. The
:06:56. > :07:01.News of the World had run a story about Mr Sheridan's personal life
:07:01. > :07:06.some years previously and he successfully sued the paper. During
:07:06. > :07:11.the later court case Mr Coulson was asked how much he knew about phone
:07:11. > :07:17.hacking carried out by the private investigate or Glenn Mulcaire. Mr
:07:17. > :07:20.Coulson was questioned about bribes allegedly paid to police officers.
:07:21. > :07:24.Tommy Sheridan's solicitor last year handed a dossier to
:07:24. > :07:29.Strathclyde Police, which has been running its own investigation,
:07:29. > :07:36.called Rubicon, into allegation of phone hacking, perjury and breaches
:07:36. > :07:41.of data protection laws in Scotland. Mr Coulson is entitled to a
:07:41. > :07:44.presumption of innocence but last July I handed him a dossier to
:07:44. > :07:48.Strathclyde Police detailing allegation of criminality and
:07:48. > :07:51.allegation of mobile phone hacking by those who worked on behalf of
:07:51. > :07:55.the News of the World. Andy Coulson can be detained by Strathclyde
:07:55. > :08:05.Police for up to 24 hours without charge. The allegation of perjury
:08:05. > :08:12.is the most serious he faces. Lorna Gordon is outside Govan
:08:12. > :08:17.police station in Glasgow with more. Andy Coulson was arrested early
:08:17. > :08:23.this morning at his home in South London. Some questions about how he
:08:23. > :08:28.would be transported up here to Scotland, it after all being a 400
:08:28. > :08:33.mile journey. It's been confirmed that he is being driven to this
:08:33. > :08:38.police station in Govan by those seven officers from Strathclyde
:08:38. > :08:42.Police. He's expected to arrive here at some point early this
:08:42. > :08:47.afternoon. He's been detained as part of an investigation by the
:08:47. > :08:51.Strathclyde Police called Operation Rubicon, an inquiry into
:08:51. > :08:56.allegations of phone hacking, breaches of data protection, and
:08:56. > :09:00.perjury. It is also in relation of course to the evidence given at the
:09:00. > :09:06.trial of Tommy Sheridan. Andy Coulson gave two days of evidence
:09:06. > :09:11.at that trial in December 2010. During that time Mr Sheridan, who
:09:11. > :09:15.was representing himself, asked Mr Coulson, did News of the World pay
:09:15. > :09:20.corrupt police officers? Plofplt Coulson said, "Not to my
:09:20. > :09:24.knowledge." Police officers will have 12 hours to question him. They
:09:24. > :09:29.can then apply for a further 12 hours. After that they have to
:09:29. > :09:33.either arrest him, charge him or release him. Lorna, thank you.
:09:33. > :09:38.The UN Security Council is meeting to discuss its next step in dealing
:09:38. > :09:44.with the violence in Syria. UN observers say they've found 13
:09:44. > :09:48.bodies with their hands tied and some shot in the head. China and
:09:48. > :09:52.Russia have reiterated their opposition to military intervention.
:09:52. > :09:58.James, more expulsions today but still no let-up in the violence?
:09:58. > :10:03.That's absolutely right. We've had a report from Major General Robert
:10:03. > :10:07.Mood, who heads the UN mission in Syria. He says he is deeply
:10:07. > :10:11.disturbed by the discovery of 13 people in the east of the country.
:10:11. > :10:15.He called it an appalling and inexcusable act. Their bodies were
:10:15. > :10:19.found with their hands tide behind their back and they appear to have
:10:19. > :10:23.been shot in the head at short distance. Diplomatic pressure
:10:23. > :10:28.continues on Syria. We've had more expulsions of diplomats from other
:10:28. > :10:34.countries. Turkey, one of Syria's neighbours and until recently an
:10:34. > :10:38.ally of Syria, has closed down the Syrian embassy in Turkey and
:10:38. > :10:42.expelled tall diplomats. Japan has also taken action. We've got a long
:10:42. > :10:46.list of countries taking action but no sign that President Bashar al-
:10:46. > :10:50.Assad is responding by lessening the violence. James, thank you.
:10:50. > :10:54.A British aid work here was kidnapped in Sudan almost flee

:11:26. > :11:26.

:11:38. > :11:43.The Business Secretary, Vince Cable harks told the Leveson Inquiry he
:11:43. > :11:48.was able to use an independent mind to judge News Corp's bid for sky
:11:48. > :11:53.sky. He was stripped of his powers to adjudicate over the proposed
:11:53. > :11:55.take-over when he told undercover journalists he would declare war on
:11:55. > :12:01.Rupert Murdoch. Nicholas Witchell reports.
:12:01. > :12:05.He was the Minister who had initial responsibility for adjudicating on
:12:05. > :12:09.News International's bid to take full control of BSkyB television,
:12:09. > :12:15.but Vince Cable was caught by reporters of the Daily Telegraph
:12:15. > :12:20.making unguarded remarks. After that, responsibility for deciding
:12:20. > :12:25.on the bid was passed to Jeremy Hunt in the culture department. The
:12:25. > :12:28.inquiry has already heard how Mr Hunt's office remained in close and
:12:28. > :12:35.private contact with News International. So, how had Vince
:12:35. > :12:40.Cable and his office dealt with their approachs? His special
:12:40. > :12:44.adviser was Giles Wilkes. This is how he responded to an approach by
:12:44. > :12:51.Frederic Michel, the News International lobbyist. Mr Michel
:12:51. > :12:56.had introduced himself I think by e-mail and had sought through Mr
:12:56. > :13:02.Wilkes to set up an interview and Giles Wilkes had declined, knowing
:13:02. > :13:04.my views on the matter. Mr Cable said his officials had repeatedly
:13:04. > :13:10.rebuffed News International's attempts to lobby them personally.
:13:10. > :13:16.Then he made this allegation about News International. I had heard
:13:16. > :13:21.directly and indirectly from colleagues that there had been
:13:21. > :13:26.veiled threats that if I made this wrong decision, from their point of
:13:26. > :13:30.view of the company, my party would be, I think somebody used the
:13:30. > :13:35.afraid "done over" in the News International press. And then on

:13:44. > :13:49.remarks about Rupert Murdoch. offload on to them a lot of pent-up
:13:49. > :13:52.feelings, not just about the BSkyB case that I was dealing with but my

:14:11. > :14:15.his appeal against extradition to Sweden rejected by the Supreme
:14:15. > :14:19.Court. He's wanted for questions by the authorities in Sweden about
:14:19. > :14:27.alleged sex offences. Mr Assange's lawyers have been given two weeks
:14:27. > :14:31.to mount a further challenge. One more performance for the Julian

:14:35. > :14:41.supporters waited but the founder of WikiLeaks failed to show, caught

:14:59. > :15:04.extradition has been lawfully made and his appeal against extradition

:15:14. > :15:17.our position and whether or not it will be necessary with great regret
:15:17. > :15:22.to make an application to this court that that matter should be
:15:22. > :15:26.re-opened so that we have an opportunity to argue this points.
:15:26. > :15:31.That point is this - the arrest warrant for Julian Assange was
:15:31. > :15:35.signed here in Sweden, not by a judge but a prosecutor.
:15:35. > :15:39.International law says it must be a judicial authority. Yet the Supreme
:15:40. > :15:44.Court decided the warrant was legal, because in practice this is how
:15:44. > :15:47.many countries do it. Assange's lawyers say they were never given
:15:47. > :15:55.the opportunity of challenging this argument.
:15:55. > :16:03.The majority of judges decided that cost of and practice of the
:16:03. > :16:07.European community in effect trumped the law. So Julian Assange
:16:07. > :16:11.has another throw of the dice in the British courts. The judges have
:16:11. > :16:14.delayed his extradition by another 14 days. His legal team say they

:17:35. > :17:42.let's have a look at those government borrowing costs first.
:17:42. > :17:46.Over 10 years, the normal benchmark, they crept up to 6.7%. When
:17:46. > :17:50.countries get to 7% or beyond, that is widely seen as unsustainable,
:17:50. > :17:53.that is when bail-outs were needed in the other countries, like
:17:53. > :17:58.Portugal and Ireland. One of the big problems is whether they will

:18:03. > :18:07.nationalise this large bank, using 19 billion euros, but there is
:18:07. > :18:11.confusion over how they are going to raise this money. The European
:18:11. > :18:16.Commission has put out its latest health check on many European

:19:16. > :19:21.opportunity the defence team have had to cross-examine Shafilea
:19:21. > :19:25.Ahmed's sister. You will remember that last year, the sister made the

:19:29. > :19:33.Ahmed, and that the jury had been told that allegation was only made

:19:42. > :19:45.Shafilea Ahmed. The QC for the defence put it to the sister that
:19:45. > :19:50.she had only made the allegation because she had been caught red-
:19:50. > :19:56.handed in the robbery, and she wanted to make up a wicked story to
:19:56. > :20:00.buy herself out of trouble. No, she said, I did not. The lawyer went on
:20:00. > :20:04.to say, you played your trump card, didn't you? You did this to get
:20:04. > :20:08.yourself out of trouble. But she said, I did not do it to get myself
:20:08. > :20:14.out of trouble. She said, at the end of the day, I was feeling
:20:14. > :20:18.really torn, and I still do. And then she broke down on the witness
:20:18. > :20:23.stand and she said quietly, I have got my sister who has died on one
:20:23. > :20:27.side and my parents, who I care about, on the other. The lawyer
:20:27. > :20:32.followed up by saying to her, you feel torn because you're not

:21:31. > :21:35.for more than 40 years. It was terrifying. You had a private,
:21:35. > :21:39.secret life where you were always worried that someone, somewhere,
:21:39. > :21:44.might see you, and then it might become something which made life
:21:44. > :21:51.intolerable. Lord Browne resigned as chief executive of BP five years
:21:51. > :21:56.ago. He had lied to the High Court about how he had met his partner.
:21:56. > :22:00.He said he had led a double life, and that hiding his sexuality
:22:01. > :22:05.ultimately led to his downfall. was obviously the wrong thing to do.
:22:05. > :22:09.It was the circumstances of my time, not necessarily the circumstances
:22:09. > :22:15.of the time, it is what I thought, which led me to do a very foolish
:22:15. > :22:20.thing. Again, I want to make sure no-one ever gets in that position.
:22:20. > :22:24.Lord Browne entered the oil industry in the 1960s. He said it
:22:24. > :22:28.was a sometimes homophobic environment. Now in the world of
:22:28. > :22:32.finance, he says the problem has not gone away. I don't think there
:22:32. > :22:36.is an issue with sexuality when it comes to getting into the City. The
:22:36. > :22:43.problem comes with sticking with the job, whether you can take the
:22:43. > :22:47.ribbing, get through those early years. I think it would be helpful,
:22:47. > :22:51.we are probably beyond legislating for this kind of thing - I think
:22:52. > :22:55.what would be more helpful would be if more people came out at the top.
:22:55. > :22:58.Companies are more aware of discrimination, but Hannah Mills
:22:58. > :23:05.says they need to do more. He wants to see concrete targets and a
:23:05. > :23:09.simple rule - do not do anything which excludes people.
:23:09. > :23:13.The former President of Liberia Charles Taylor has been sentenced
:23:13. > :23:15.to 50 years for war crimes in Sierra Leone. The judge at a
:23:16. > :23:19.special court in The Hague said he had been responsible for some of
:23:19. > :23:24.the worst atrocities in history. Mitt Romney has officially become
:23:24. > :23:30.the Republican Party's challenger to take on President Obama in
:23:30. > :23:33.November's US election. Romney won a comfortable victory in the Texas
:23:33. > :23:36.primary to secure the nomination. Rescue workers in Italy are
:23:36. > :23:41.continuing to search through the rubble for more survivors after a
:23:41. > :23:51.strong earthquake on Tuesday killed at least 16 people. One woman has
:23:51. > :23:53.
:23:53. > :23:58.been pulled out alive. The Olympic Torch is arriving in
:23:58. > :24:01.Much Wenlock this lunchtime. The Shropshire town is believed to be
:24:01. > :24:06.the inspiration for the modern Olympic Games. The town held its
:24:06. > :24:16.own Olympics festival for almost half a century before the first
:24:16. > :24:16.
:24:16. > :24:21.Athens games. Yes indeed, what a wonderful atmosphere here. The
:24:21. > :24:27.flame is about half-a-mile down the road. It is all because of his
:24:27. > :24:34.fellow. Back in 1850, he held the first Olympian games here, a
:24:34. > :24:38.mixture of athletics and a few fun games, like wheelbarrow races. As
:24:38. > :24:43.you say, that formed the modern Olympics. Alison Williamson, about
:24:43. > :24:52.to compete in your sixth Olympics for archery - it all began for you
:24:52. > :24:56.here, didn't it? Yes, I competed at the Wenlock Olympics back in 1982.
:24:56. > :25:01.And there is a real sense of that link, the pride which Much Wenlock
:25:01. > :25:05.house. Definitely, I am from Shropshire, we know the heritage,
:25:05. > :25:09.we know that if it was not for Wenlock, then the Games would never
:25:09. > :25:14.have happened. You have still got family here, you will be running
:25:14. > :25:19.out with the torch in about an hour's time. I have asked lots of
:25:19. > :25:23.torch bearers the same question, but what is your take on it?
:25:23. > :25:28.watched Ben Ainslie on the first day and I got quite emotional. I
:25:28. > :25:32.was thinking about when I would carry it. I have got a lot of
:25:32. > :25:37.family coming to watch, the whole community spirit, everybody has got
:25:37. > :25:41.behind the Olympics, and also, it is the opportunity for the local
:25:41. > :25:46.community, local heroes, people who have raised money for charity and
:25:46. > :25:50.things like that. Very quickly, Zara Phillips last week said this
:25:50. > :25:54.was a welcome distraction from those tense last few weeks. Yes, I
:25:54. > :25:59.trained this morning, and I have got to do another training session
:25:59. > :26:03.later, so, yes, it is a nice little break. Just before we go, Much
:26:03. > :26:07.Wenlock has lent his name to this chap. We will be seeing much more
:26:07. > :26:15.of him, with the legacy of Much Wenlock coming before the world
:26:15. > :26:19.again. It seems just about everything is
:26:19. > :26:23.advertised on television these days, but some advertisements are
:26:23. > :26:25.remembered for the wrong reasons, which is where the Advertising
:26:25. > :26:30.Standards Authority comes in. It has been looking into complaints
:26:30. > :26:34.for 50 years, and has dealt with 400,000 in that time. David Sillito
:26:34. > :26:44.looks back at some of the adverts which have got some of us so

:26:45. > :26:51.exercised. The Government's climate change warning was for some too are
:26:51. > :27:01.alarming. Volkswagen's fighting engineer was too violent. But the
:27:01. > :27:03.
:27:03. > :27:07.most complained about advert in the last 50 years was this... The
:27:07. > :27:14.problem? More than 1,600 people thought it would encourage children
:27:14. > :27:20.to talk with their mouths full. It taps into a growing anxiety - the
:27:20. > :27:24.effect of adverts on children. interesting about advertising is
:27:24. > :27:27.that there is a tension between freedom of expression and
:27:27. > :27:31.protection of children and vulnerable groups. This is
:27:31. > :27:34.something that everyone we speak to agrees with. Children and
:27:34. > :27:41.vulnerable groups must be protected. It is difficult to get the balance
:27:41. > :27:46.right sometimes. One topic really brings complaints - animals. Many
:27:46. > :27:50.did not think this was funny. And all of these adverts are from
:27:51. > :27:55.recent years. It seems we are more prone to complain these days. But
:27:55. > :28:00.some feel advertising is becoming more bland - the need to market
:28:00. > :28:05.globally is bad news for the quirky British style. All the stuff that
:28:06. > :28:15.we know and love, Brits talking to Brits and saying funny things about
:28:15. > :28:19.things which only we recognise, you cannot do any of that.
:28:19. > :28:25.complaining about encouraging bad manners might say something about
:28:25. > :28:34.Britain, but this is an exception. 80% of all complaints are about one
:28:34. > :28:39.topic - is the advert telling the truth? It's time now for the
:28:39. > :28:43.truth? It's time now for the weather forecast. We are seeing the
:28:43. > :28:46.last of the warmth across the south-east of England this
:28:46. > :28:53.afternoon. For many of us, although there is still some sunshine, we
:28:53. > :28:59.will see some showers as well. A desire of weather front across
:28:59. > :29:08.Scotland will be bringing patchy rain. But some places will miss the
:29:08. > :29:12.showers and stay dry. We keep the cloud and rain across parts of
:29:12. > :29:17.Scotland overnight tonight. Another band of rain will be moving into
:29:17. > :29:23.Northern Ireland and parts of Wales. A very different start to the day
:29:23. > :29:28.across Wales tomorrow, with the cloud and the rain. It is a wet
:29:28. > :29:32.start for Northern Ireland as well. The rain will be much more
:29:32. > :29:36.extensive across Scotland than it has been in recent days, but still
:29:36. > :29:40.with some brightness across the far north. That band of rain extends
:29:40. > :29:44.into northern England as well. A little bit damp across parts of the
:29:44. > :29:49.Midlands. But there should be some brightness down across the Southern
:29:49. > :29:59.Counties, where we have still got temperatures starting off at about

:29:59. > :30:05.15. I think and Cornwall should be brightening up as we go through the
:30:05. > :30:09.afternoon. Further north, always keeping the thicker cloud.

:30:28. > :30:31.pressure is rising to the north, so it becomes drier and brighter. That
:30:31. > :30:35.leads into the all-important Jubilee weekend, which is going to
:30:35. > :30:38.be on the cool side, with average temperatures. We are confident of a
:30:38. > :30:42.dry start to the weekend, but there are some uncertainties in the
:30:42. > :30:49.forecast as we go through the weekend. Saturday, a lot of dry
:30:49. > :30:54.weather, maybe the risk of a few showers in the north-east. You will
:30:54. > :30:58.notice this band of rain sitting across the south-west of England.
:30:58. > :31:02.That's where the uncertainty comes into the forecast. It looks like it
