A violation of UN security resolutions. North Korea's third

:00:14.:00:19.

nuclear test provokes condemnation. With fears Pyongyang is closer to

:00:19.:00:22.

building a warhead, there's been criticism from around the world.

:00:22.:00:27.

The North Korea continues in this way it will face increasing

:00:27.:00:33.

isolation and pressure from all of the members of the Security Council.

The Government's back-to-work scheme it suffers a setback after

judges agree with a university graduate's claim that schemes have

:00:40.:00:43.

been operating illegally. As food testing continues to discover the

:00:43.:00:47.

extent of the horsemeat scandal, more crisis talks between the

:00:47.:00:51.

government and the food industry. Barclays is to cut at least 3700

:00:51.:00:58.

jobs as part of a restructuring plan. In Rome, after yesterday's

:00:58.:01:02.

shock announcement from Pope Benedict, attention is turning to

On BBC London. Be prepared to pay more for tickets at Heathrow if a

five year investment gets approved. And we find out why City Hall

:01:36.:01:39.

Security Council will meet in an hour's time to discuss North

:01:39.:01:44.

Korea's decision to carry out a third nuclear test, in defiance of

:01:44.:01:46.

United Nations warnings. There's been international condemnation and

:01:46.:01:52.

criticism, even from North Korea's Major ally, China. With fears

:01:52.:01:55.

Pyongyang is closer to building a warhead small enough to armour

:01:55.:01:59.

missile, William Hague called for new sanctions, which he said should

:01:59.:02:09.

be backed by China. After weeks of stonewalling, North Korea did what

:02:09.:02:14.

everyone told it not to. A nuclear test never fails to bring the

:02:14.:02:18.

country together. In the absence of political freedom or guaranteed

:02:18.:02:23.

meals, at least it is something to celebrate. The bomb North Korea

:02:23.:02:27.

exploded underground at this Monckton test site was, it said,

:02:27.:02:32.

smaller, lighter and more powerful than before. And it has made this

:02:32.:02:37.

man more powerful in return. Kim Jong Un has only been North Korea's

:02:37.:02:41.

leader for just over a year, but he's already fired off two long-

:02:41.:02:46.

range rockets, and now one nuclear test. Each a direct challenge to

:02:46.:02:50.

the world's major powers. They are still at the -- still trying to

:02:51.:02:54.

perfect and work on the techie and -- technical aspects of the

:02:54.:02:59.

programme. But it also shows a political dimension to it. They

:02:59.:03:02.

will continue using their bargaining chips. The UN Security

:03:02.:03:06.

Council has called an emergency meeting and made swift reactions on

:03:06.:03:11.

both sides of the Pacific. If North Korea continues in this way it will

:03:11.:03:16.

face increasing isolation and increasing pressure from all of the

:03:16.:03:20.

members of the Security Council. I hope that will be very clear at the

:03:20.:03:24.

meeting that will be held in New York today. But it's the response

:03:24.:03:30.

of these men that will determine North Korea's future. China's new

:03:30.:03:33.

leaders are growing increasingly tired of Pyongyang's rebellious

:03:33.:03:37.

ways. By defying its main ally, North Korea has presented Beijing

:03:37.:03:41.

with a very public test of its own. The options facing the

:03:41.:03:45.

international community are has been as ever. Sanctions, the old

:03:45.:03:50.

favourite, haven't worked. China's influence also seems to be waning.

:03:50.:03:55.

In the meantime, the world's least predictable nuclear state has, it

:03:55.:03:59.

says, drawn one step closer to a viable, long-distance nuclear

:03:59.:04:09.

weapon. Let's get reaction from Washington. Options are thin on the

:04:09.:04:15.

ground. The UN Security Council is going to meet but realistically,

:04:15.:04:20.

what are their options? Weaker next big immediately what they will do

:04:20.:04:23.

is give some sort of statement condemning the nuclear tests. The

:04:24.:04:27.

Americans will be pushing hard for his strong statement. The Americans

:04:27.:04:32.

are furious about this. President Obama has already called the test a

:04:32.:04:36.

highly provocative act that threatens international security.

:04:36.:04:42.

We can expect the Security Council to start thinking about yet another

:04:42.:04:46.

round of sanctions against North Korea. There are already sanctions

:04:46.:04:51.

in place, including a big arms embargo, a prohibition on importing

:04:51.:04:54.

nuclear and military related technology, luxury goods, that sort

:04:54.:05:02.

of thing. We can expect this to be strengthened. But the big question

:05:02.:05:07.

is - can these sanctions ever really be effective while China

:05:07.:05:10.

isn't really doing its best to implement them? That is what the

:05:10.:05:14.

Americans think the Chinese are doing. Can sanctions work if China

:05:14.:05:21.

is not really serious about them? Gordon Corera is with me in the

:05:21.:05:26.

studio. How concerned should we be about this? No we should be,

:05:26.:05:30.

because of the size that North Korea might be making technical

:05:30.:05:34.

moves forward. It might be close to some breakthroughs. It looks like

:05:34.:05:37.

the size of the explosion is more significant than in previous tests

:05:37.:05:40.

it has carried out. What intelligence agencies will be

:05:41.:05:46.

trying to establish is firstly, what kind of material was used?

:05:46.:05:49.

They have previously used plutonium, but there are concerns they might

:05:49.:05:53.

be trying to develop a uranium bomb. As a limited supply of plutonium

:05:53.:05:57.

they have but they have more potential to build many more bombs

:05:57.:06:01.

using uranium. Secondly, the North Koreans claimed they had

:06:01.:06:05.

miniaturised this bomb. If you want to deliver a nuclear weapon, you

:06:05.:06:09.

need to put it on a missile. A very complicated feat which requires

:06:09.:06:13.

miniaturising it. If they have miniaturised it and you put that

:06:13.:06:17.

together with the rocket launch to launch a satellite that they

:06:17.:06:20.

conducted in December, that is a worrying sign. It could mean

:06:20.:06:24.

potentially, if they are really successful on this, they could be

:06:24.:06:28.

able to launch a nuclear missile eventually at the United States and

:06:28.:06:34.

certainly against Japan and South Korea, much closer to them.

:06:34.:06:37.

Government's back-to-work schemes have suffered a setback after the

:06:37.:06:40.

Court of Appeal ruled that the regulations for some were created

:06:40.:06:43.

unlawfully. The ruling came as a university graduate won her claim

:06:43.:06:47.

that requiring her to work free at a problem store was unlawful. But

:06:47.:06:51.

the government says it will take on new regulations to ensure the

:06:51.:06:59.

schemes are lawful. How significant is this? You probably recall that

:06:59.:07:03.

Kate Riley, the 21-year-old graduate who says she was forced to

:07:03.:07:08.

work in Ponteland, she said that it breached her human rights. Secondly,

:07:08.:07:11.

that she believed the government regulations, all of these work

:07:12.:07:16.

first schemes were based upon, that those regulations were unlawful.

:07:16.:07:19.

She initially lost her case and bulk both counts, but today the

:07:19.:07:24.

Court of Appeal has ruled that those regulations upon which most

:07:24.:07:26.

of the Government's work experience schemes are based, that those

:07:26.:07:30.

regulations are unlawful. This is very embarrassing for the

:07:30.:07:34.

government. Some say it has put the entire arrangements and programmes

:07:34.:07:41.

into some sort of disarray. About an hour ago, Ms Riley came out and

:07:41.:07:45.

give us her reaction to the news. I don't think I'm above working in

:07:45.:07:49.

shops like pound land. I now work part-time in a supermarket. It's

:07:49.:07:53.

just that I get -- expect to get paid for working. I hope the

:07:53.:07:57.

government will rethink its strategy and do something which

:07:57.:08:00.

actually builds on unemployed people's skills and tackles the

:08:00.:08:04.

cause of long-term unemployment. I agree we need to get people back to

:08:04.:08:07.

work, but the best way of doing that is by helping them not

:08:07.:08:13.

punishing them. The government says it is going to seek to appeal

:08:13.:08:19.

against this to the highest court, the Supreme Court. This morning,

:08:19.:08:22.

the Employment Minister, Mark Hoban, has told the BBC that as a result

:08:22.:08:27.

of this decision, he is seeking to act immediately. We are introducing

:08:27.:08:31.

emergency regulations to deal with the comments of the court today. We

:08:31.:08:36.

will ensure that people will continue to be required to

:08:36.:08:40.

undertake activity that will help them into work. It's the right

:08:40.:08:43.

thing to happen. Where the difference is between ourselves and

:08:43.:08:46.

the Court of Appeal is about how much detail they should be in the

:08:46.:08:53.

regulations. There's a degree of legal uncertainty this morning. It

:08:53.:08:56.

is certainly very embarrassing for the government. The government

:08:56.:09:00.

insists there's no change to people who are either on a scheme or about

:09:00.:09:03.

to go on a scheme. The new regulations being placed in

:09:04.:09:07.

Parliament will mean that schemes going forward are lawful. It is

:09:07.:09:11.

also making the point that anybody who didn't go on one of these

:09:11.:09:14.

schemes and lost benefits, bears some suggestion they may be able to

:09:14.:09:18.

get those benefits back. The government is saying that simply

:09:18.:09:25.

isn't going to happen and that it's business as usual. Food producers,

:09:25.:09:27.

retailers and the Food Standards Agency have been summoned to

:09:27.:09:31.

another meeting with ministers today, to discuss the discovery of

:09:31.:09:34.

horsemeat in Mautby products. Tomorrow there is an EU summit on

:09:34.:09:37.

whether processed meals should have to be labelled with the meat's

:09:37.:09:44.

country of origin. From Findus beef lasagne to these Aldi own brand

:09:45.:09:48.

ready meals, and now this product from Tesco - all produced from the

:09:48.:09:53.

same French factory and contaminated with horsemeat. The

:09:53.:09:57.

question now, is this an isolated case or a taste of a far wider

:09:57.:10:02.

problem? The Environment Secretary briefed cabinet colleagues today

:10:02.:10:07.

and will chair another meeting with the food industry tonight, as tests

:10:07.:10:11.

continued on processed beef products. Some of that testing has

:10:11.:10:15.

been done here in Hamburg, where they regularly test for horsemeat.

:10:15.:10:21.

They are now working flat out on samples from many countries.

:10:21.:10:26.

have two different types of samples that we are being sent. One is the

:10:26.:10:30.

standard to see standards, the quality control sample that

:10:30.:10:33.

customers send on a routine basis. Those samples tend to be free from

:10:33.:10:38.

all speed. However, not the samples that we are receiving from new

:10:38.:10:42.

customers, we are receiving a large number of samples which have high

:10:42.:10:49.

levels of horsemeat in them. As the scandal spreads, family butchers

:10:49.:10:56.

like this one in Kent are winning new customers. They are interested

:10:56.:11:01.

in where their products and foods are coming from, namely the

:11:01.:11:06.

beefburgers, sausages, ready made things, even our own home-made

:11:06.:11:10.

lasagne. So how did horsemeat produced here in Romania apparently

:11:10.:11:15.

get labelled as beef and ended up in frozen ready meals? The French

:11:15.:11:19.

authorities may give the results of their investigation as early as

:11:19.:11:29.
:11:29.:11:31.

The criticism of the government is it needs to get a grip. It's

:11:32.:11:35.

difficult to know what they are trying to get a grip of. Ministers

:11:36.:11:39.

are desperate to try and draw a line under this crisis, because

:11:39.:11:43.

every day it drags on. Public confidence is ebbing away. Instead,

:11:43.:11:48.

they find themselves in the position of a Fat Controller on a

:11:48.:11:51.

spectacularly bad day, yanking at the levers and not much happening.

:11:51.:11:55.

Why? They say it's because they have no control over the crisis,

:11:55.:12:00.

because it is happening across the Channel in meat processing plants

:12:00.:12:04.

and abattoirs in other countries. The system, which is meant to be

:12:04.:12:07.

policed by the European Commission, and when they are having to wait on

:12:07.:12:11.

the men in white coats who are carrying out the tests on the

:12:11.:12:15.

processed meat products that we eat here. But those tests aren't going

:12:15.:12:19.

to be completed until Friday. In the meantime, it seems to me

:12:19.:12:24.

ministers are engaged in make busy. Holding meetings with distributors,

:12:24.:12:28.

retailers and EU officials, to try and counter the charge of

:12:28.:12:34.

opposition politicians that they are doing nothing. The Fisherman's

:12:34.:12:38.

Friends singer Trevor Grills has died in hospital after he was

:12:38.:12:40.

seriously injured at a concert venue in Guildford. The group

:12:41.:12:44.

announced that he died last night as a result of severe head injuries,

:12:44.:12:49.

inflicted after he was hit by a falling metal door on Saturday. The

:12:49.:12:54.

tour manager, Paul McDonald -- Paul McMullan, also died in the incident.

:12:54.:12:58.

The day after Pope Benedict's shock announcement that he is to resign,

:12:58.:13:01.

Catholics around the world are anxious to know who will succeed

:13:01.:13:04.

him. The resignation opens the door to an array of possible successors

:13:04.:13:09.

from Europe, Africa and South America. His final address will be

:13:09.:13:18.

at St Peter's Square on Friday 27th. A day later, there will be an ex-

:13:18.:13:23.

Pope. By Easter there will be a new Pope and ex-Pope. This is why the

:13:23.:13:26.

Catholic Church is almost going into uncharted territory for

:13:26.:13:30.

something like 600 years when this occurs. You are right, the

:13:30.:13:34.

questions are already being focused. Is it going to be a younger or

:13:34.:13:39.

older Pope? Is it going to be a liberal or conservative Pope? Is it

:13:39.:13:42.

going to be someone from the developing world or the developed

:13:42.:13:46.

world from Europe, as it has always been until now? There's an awful

:13:46.:13:50.

lot of questions and very few answers for the time being. Let's

:13:50.:14:00.
:14:00.:14:01.

get this report from our Europe correspondent. Towards the Vatican,

:14:01.:14:05.

into the secrets held within. The tourists focused on the sites. But

:14:05.:14:11.

behind them, behind the stunning facade, officials are already

:14:11.:14:15.

planning for the appointment of a new Pope. The Vatican was obliged

:14:15.:14:19.

to allow us a peek into its world today. A news conference with more

:14:19.:14:23.

questions, perhaps, than answers. TRANSLATION: Views are living

:14:23.:14:26.

through these days with a great deal of serenity. After all, it's

:14:26.:14:31.

not a decision that was made at the last minute. It's a decision that

:14:31.:14:35.

was well founded, very spiritual as far as they this concerned and from

:14:35.:14:39.

the human point of view. The inner workings of the Vatican of obscure

:14:39.:14:43.

and hidden. And yet what happens inside this church has a profound

:14:43.:14:48.

impact right the way around the world. The next Pope's stance on

:14:48.:14:53.

issues like contraception, abortion, the right of women to become

:14:53.:14:58.

priests have an effect not just on the world's 1.3 billion Catholics,

:14:58.:15:02.

it also, to a certain extent, affects all of us. Most of the

:15:03.:15:06.

cardinals who will vote for their next leader were appointed by Pope

:15:06.:15:10.

Benedict. So who could take over? Perhaps it's time for the first

:15:10.:15:14.

African leader, Ghana's popular Peter Turkson is on some lists.

:15:15.:15:19.

Almost half of Catholics are Latin- American. The Archbishop of Sao

:15:19.:15:24.

Paulo is the front-runner from there. Some mentioned the Canadian,

:15:24.:15:29.

Mark Bouillet, a traditionalist, like Pope Benedict. More likely is

:15:29.:15:34.

a European. Perhaps the current Archbishop of Milan, Angelo Scola.

:15:34.:15:39.

Benedict will not seek to influence them.

British have already lost their lives. Those who did the same job

:20:11.:20:15.

in Iraq were offered asylum and this only adds to their sense of

:20:15.:20:21.

injustice. All we want exactly the same. They will all be targeted.

They should think about us. Special programmes have been set up to

:20:32.:20:37.

The MoD has insisted it won't abandon its interpreters, but so

:20:37.:20:41.

far the UK Government says it will only consider individual claims,

:20:41.:20:49.

based on merit. But the senior US General on the right, who has just

:20:49.:20:53.

handed over command of NATO forces, believes the Afghan interpreters

:20:53.:20:59.

are owed a debt. I think we have an obligation to look after them. Each

:21:27.:21:31.

losses will be in the UK. The bank reported a plunge in profits last

:21:31.:21:34.

year mainly due to scandals over miss-selling payment protection and

:21:34.:21:38.

the fixing of the inter-bank lending rate. Its new Chief

:21:38.:21:42.

Executive says he hopes to change the bank's culture. Here's our

chief economics correspondent, Hugh Pym.

:21:48.:21:51.

It was a year to forget for Barclays, with the storm raising

:21:52.:21:58.

after its involvement in the LIBOR fixing scandal was revealed. The

:21:58.:22:02.

boss at the time, Bob Diamond quit, with the chairman and director

:22:02.:22:08.

leaving soon afterwards. The new Barclays chief sets out how he

:22:08.:22:13.

wanted to change to the bank. were too aggressive, we were too

:22:13.:22:17.

short-term focus and on occasion, too self-serving. What we're

:22:17.:22:21.

talking about is building a better Barclays that learns from those

:22:21.:22:27.

experiences, that will deliver for all of the stakeholders. Today's

:22:27.:22:31.

presentation was not in London, but at a venue near Westminster and

:22:31.:22:36.

with various buzzwords displayed, the impression Barclays is trying

:22:36.:22:41.

to create, is this is a bank moving in a new direction. There will be

:22:41.:22:47.

job cuts in investment banking, bonuses will be reduced and the

:22:47.:22:53.

unit helping clients with tax avoidance will close. Closing-down

:22:53.:22:59.

the tax avoidance Unit, taking out 1800 staff, plus more. It is

:22:59.:23:03.

significant changes. We will see if it and spills over into a cultural

:23:03.:23:08.

change. No selling of payment protection insurance on things like

:23:08.:23:12.

credit card has hit the coffers. They have had to increase the

:23:12.:23:16.

amount set aside for compensation. You were running Barclaycard at a

:23:16.:23:20.

time when PPI was being sold, do you take your share of

:23:20.:23:25.

responsibility? I do take responsibility for the time I spent

:23:25.:23:30.

at Barclaycard, for everything that happened at Barclaycard, including

:23:30.:23:34.

the PPI issue. It is important we learn from the past and change the

:23:34.:23:38.

way we run the business going forward. He now has to convince

:23:38.:23:42.

customers he can change the culture, even though he was part of the old

:23:42.:23:46.

regime and also convince shareholders, he can boost the

:23:46.:23:53.

profits. Inflation has remained at 2.7% for

:23:53.:23:56.

the 4th month in a road. It is the longest period inflation has

:23:56.:24:01.

remained unchanged since records began. The Bank of England target

:24:01.:24:04.

is 2%. The trial of a couple accused of

:24:04.:24:07.

killing their six children in a Derby house fire last May opened

:24:07.:24:10.

this morning at Nottingham Crown Court. Mick and Mairead Philpott,

:24:10.:24:12.

along with a third defendant, Paul Mosley, deny six counts of

:24:12.:24:22.

manslaughter. Our correspondent, Jon Brain, is outside the court.

:24:22.:24:28.

Dramatic scenes in the courtroom as a distressing 999 call was played

:24:28.:24:37.

to the jury made her by the parents last night. As the call was made,

:24:37.:24:41.

Michael Philpott tried to get out of his seat in the dock. He was

:24:41.:24:47.

made to sit down. He had his hands class post to his ears. That is the

:24:47.:24:53.

prosecution case he and his wife were responsible for the fire. But

:24:53.:24:56.

Richard lay them prosecuting said the intention was not to kill. We

:24:56.:25:01.

say this was a plan which went horribly wrong and resulted in

:25:01.:25:06.

total tragedy. What was the motive? According to the prosecution,

:25:06.:25:12.

Michael Philpott was living with a wife and a mistress and 11 children.

:25:12.:25:16.

The mistress, Leasowe Willis decided to leave because he was so

:25:16.:25:21.

controlling. And that was the catalyst. A custody hearing was due

:25:21.:25:25.

at the court the morning of the fire. According to the prosecution

:25:25.:25:30.

he tried to set his mistress up by saying she made death threats and

:25:30.:25:35.

someone was trying to torch the house and to kill the children.

:25:35.:25:43.

That trial continues. Would you be confident of spotting

:25:43.:25:46.

the signs of dementia in someone you didn't know? The charity

:25:46.:25:49.

Alzheimers UK claims one in three people over 65 will develop

:25:49.:25:51.

dementia. Now the Government wants to train a million people in

:25:51.:25:54.

England to become what they call 'Dementia Friends' who are able to

:25:54.:25:59.

spot signs of the illness, and help sufferers. Jenny Hill has the story.

:25:59.:26:05.

In this town, it does not matter if you cannot remember. This is the

:26:05.:26:08.

Tea Cosy Memory Cafe. He Geoff and Ruth are regulars and nine years

:26:08.:26:14.

ago she was diagnosed with dementia. As the illness progresses, it gets

:26:14.:26:19.

worse. But she is quite happy, she lives in a world of her own. I

:26:19.:26:24.

still recognise her as my wife, I still do things for her. There are

:26:24.:26:29.

times when you do not feel that at all. A does anybody want a bacon

:26:29.:26:34.

sandwich? They serve up support and friendship, but the cafe is just a

:26:34.:26:40.

start. It is among 20 places in the UK aiming to become dementia

:26:40.:26:47.

friendly communities. The cafe, a bank, a supermarket where they can

:26:47.:26:53.

designate a quiet corner and may be a member of staff, not necessary

:26:53.:26:57.

fully-trained in dementia care, just a bit of knowledge. It is a

:26:57.:27:02.

place where people who are a bit confused or disorientated can go.

:27:02.:27:06.

It is thought more than a million people in the UK will have dementia.

:27:06.:27:11.

One in every three people over the age of 65 develops the condition.

:27:11.:27:20.

Many of them live in the community. These are two areas of the brain...

:27:20.:27:27.

It is why one charity plans to train dementia friends. Anyone is

:27:27.:27:31.

welcome and that the session at Leamy to a lady whose grandfather

:27:31.:27:35.

died of the condition. He would always go out and get his newspaper

:27:35.:27:39.

in the morning. He did not know what changed to use any more or

:27:39.:27:43.

what paper he went out to buy in the first place. If the shop

:27:43.:27:49.

workers could notice he had dementia, they could assist him.

:27:49.:27:53.

has been used as the Cinderella story of the NHS. It has been

:27:53.:27:58.

underfunded. We want to turn that around. We want a million people

:27:58.:28:04.

out there to be dementia friends. Back at the Cafe, most agree. The

Norman told us he had been accused of shoplifting. He had simply

:28:09.:28:13.

forgotten where he was. You just forget things. I can remember

:28:13.:28:18.

things 20, 30 years ago. Things you have just said to me now, I had

:28:18.:28:23.

practically forgotten. People here know the condition will only get

:28:23.:28:27.

worse. What they can improve is how they are treated by the wider

:28:27.:28:36.

community. Allegations of bad behaviour spread
