:00:31. > :00:35.denies them the means to defend themselves? Three people arrested
:00:35. > :00:38.over the murder of Lee Rigby remain on bail. The main suspects remain in

:01:15. > :01:19.A century for Cook, as England build Hello. Good afternoon. The Foreign
:01:19. > :01:23.Secretary, William Hague, is in Brussels in lunch time trying to
:01:23. > :01:27.persuade the European Union to ease sanctions against Syria so weapons
:01:28. > :01:32.can be supplied to some opposition fighters. He says the move would
:01:32. > :01:36.send a signal to President Assad that he has to negotiate. Our
:01:36. > :01:41.correspondent is in Brussels for us. Matthew?
:01:41. > :01:45.Yes, as one British diplomat put it to me, Syria is a country awash with
:01:45. > :01:50.weapons, it is just they are in the hands of the wrong people. Now,
:01:50. > :01:53.Britain wants to change that. It believes with the war intensifies in
:01:53. > :01:56.Syria and in some neighbouring countries, some spillover effect,
:01:57. > :02:03.now is the time to change that. The only problem is many of the
:02:03. > :02:13.countries in the European Union are very weary of doing so. Syria's war
:02:13. > :02:19.is spreading. The pressure to end it is intensifying. Tens of thousands
:02:19. > :02:25.have been killed. Hundreds of thousands have fled their homes.
:02:25. > :02:29.Neighbouring countries like Lebanon are being dragged into the conflict.
:02:29. > :02:34.In Brussels, with Foreign Ministers gathering, the worsening war is
:02:34. > :02:39.forcing some to re-think current policy. At the moment, the arms
:02:39. > :02:43.embargo forbids EU countries from exporting lethal weapons to Syria.
:02:43. > :02:48.Now Britain and France believe it is time to think about arming the
:02:48. > :02:53.Syrian opposition. We also have to think about what is happening to
:02:53. > :02:57.people in Syria, how long can we go on with people having every weapon
:02:57. > :03:04.that's ever been devised dropped on them, while most of the world denies
:03:04. > :03:08.them the means to defend themselves? Who would the weapons go to? These
:03:08. > :03:12.are Free Syrian Army opposition fighters, in training. Britain says
:03:12. > :03:18.it is the moderate forces they wish to be able to supply with better
:03:18. > :03:23.weapons, to help them defeat President Assad's forces. Most
:03:23. > :03:28.countries here though are weary. Their fear is any weapons sent from
:03:28. > :03:32.the EU could end up in the wrong hands. The opposition is not a
:03:32. > :03:37.coherent block. Some are not moderates. Al-Qaeda elements are
:03:37. > :03:41.known to be involved in the fighting. Britain believes a game
:03:41. > :03:46.changer is needed, but most here don't want to risk it. I think the
:03:46. > :03:51.European Union has to hold the line. We have always been in conflicts,
:03:51. > :03:55.not on one or the other side, concerning developing weapons.
:03:55. > :04:00.Weapons were directly supplied to opposition forces in Libya two years
:04:00. > :04:07.ago. The US supported that, and crucialally it now says it too would
:04:07. > :04:11.like to see the EU allowing the supply of such weapons to Syria. For
:04:11. > :04:16.the moment, Britain wants simply to have the option to send weapons to
:04:16. > :04:21.the opposition. It believes that will put more pressure on President
:04:21. > :04:31.Assad to attend planned peace talks. It is a high-stakes gamble, in a war
:04:31. > :04:32.
:04:32. > :04:36.so far without end. One senior source in Brussels said
:04:36. > :04:42.both sides in the argument have some merits to their argument. I
:04:42. > :04:46.understand that at the senior, the very top level, there is concern
:04:46. > :04:51.about the British position, not least for some people it has some
:04:51. > :04:56.echoes of 2003 and the Iraq war, military involvement in regime
:04:56. > :05:01.change. There is concern about that, but also there is a realisation that
:05:01. > :05:05.something has to be done to try and stop the current bloodshed in Syria.
:05:05. > :05:09.Another problem to throw into the mix - the sanctions are due to
:05:10. > :05:14.expire, if they cannot agree on them and they need that by the end of the
:05:14. > :05:18.week - there was a suggestion from William Hague that if Britain cannot
:05:18. > :05:22.get what it wants it might be prepared to leave the sanctions to
:05:23. > :05:27.expire and go it alone. Matthew, many thanks.
:05:27. > :05:31.Now, three men who were arrested in connection with the murder of Lee
:05:32. > :05:36.Rigby have been released on police bail. The two main suspects remain
:05:36. > :05:43.in hospital under police guard. Our correspondent is at Woolwich for us
:05:43. > :05:47.this lunch time. Yes, to summer rise where that investigation is. So far,
:05:47. > :05:50.nine people have been arrested in what has been described as a complex
:05:50. > :05:54.and fast-moving inquiry. Of those, two have been released, four have
:05:54. > :05:58.been given bail, one man who was arrested yesterday in North London
:05:58. > :06:01.is still being questioned and of course the two suspects who were
:06:01. > :06:05.arrested here, shortly after the killing, after they were shot by
:06:05. > :06:09.police are still recovering in hospital and Scotland Yard has said
:06:09. > :06:13.it will not be questioning them until they have been discharged from
:06:13. > :06:17.hospital by doctors. Elsewhere, there is tension in the aftermath of
:06:17. > :06:22.the killing of Drummer Lee Rigby. In Grimsby a mosque has been
:06:22. > :06:27.fire-bombed. In Park Lane, central London, two war memorials have been
:06:27. > :06:32.vandalised, one the Animals in War memorial and the other to Bomber
:06:32. > :06:39.Command. Both were dubbed with red graffiti at some point burg the
:06:39. > :06:44.night. Here in Woolwich people are coming to lay their floral wreaths
:06:44. > :06:51.and pay respects. And perhaps to show the community here, certainly
:06:51. > :06:55.while shocked, remains united. Ben, thank you.
:06:55. > :07:00.Stem cell treatment may be able to help patients recovering from a
:07:00. > :07:04.stroke. A small-scale study has found five seriously disabled stroke
:07:04. > :07:08.patients have shown some signs of recovery following the treatment. It
:07:08. > :07:12.involved injecting stem cells into the damaged parts of the patients'
:07:12. > :07:21.brains. The doctor leading the clinical trial says he is surprised
:07:21. > :07:25.by the results, but he has stressed it is early days.
:07:25. > :07:31.Frank was signing in his choir when suddenly he had a stroke. It
:07:31. > :07:36.paralysed his left side. His wife, Claire, cares for him. Following an
:07:36. > :07:40.injection of stem cells to his brain, Frank has regained some
:07:40. > :07:46.movement. It has made an improvement to my recovery.
:07:46. > :07:49.It was three years after his stroke, and you know, as they say, most
:07:49. > :07:54.improvements happen within the first six months. He is among the first in
:07:54. > :07:59.the world to receive the treatment. When a person has a stroke, an area
:07:59. > :08:03.of the brain is damaged. Sometimes irreversibly. With the new
:08:03. > :08:07.treatment, doctors inject the stem cells into the damaged area. The
:08:07. > :08:12.hope is that the cells regenerate the brain, and so restore some
:08:12. > :08:18.speech and movement. He is one of five patients to have
:08:19. > :08:24.shown a small improvement after the treatment. It seem seems odd that it
:08:24. > :08:29.would all just be chance and a placebo effect. We are seeing things
:08:29. > :08:34.which are interesting and somewhat surprising. Over the past two years,
:08:34. > :08:40.nine patients in their 60s, 70s and 80s who have been seriously disabled
:08:40. > :08:45.by a stroke have had an operation involving an inj jektion of stem
:08:45. > :08:50.cells to the damaged part of their brain. A clinical trial has shown no
:08:50. > :08:53.adverse affect so far. Five have shown some improvements. The doctor
:08:53. > :08:57.in charge of the trial stresses there's no evidence yet that the
:08:57. > :09:01.stem cells are responsible. The treatment is controversial because
:09:01. > :09:09.these stem cells were originally made from nerve cells that had been
:09:09. > :09:13.taken from an aborted foetus and genetically modified. Doctors will
:09:13. > :09:17.see whether stem cells can really benefit patients.
:09:17. > :09:22.Two men have appeared in court charged with endangering an aircraft
:09:22. > :09:31.after a passenger jet from Pakistan to Manchester was diverted to
:09:31. > :09:36.Stansted Airport on Friday. Simon, what happened in court this morning?
:09:36. > :09:46.Well, Mohammed Safdar and Tayyab Subhani appeared here in chelmentes
:09:46. > :09:46.
:09:46. > :09:50.ford as the charge was -- chelmentes ford, as the charge was read out.
:09:50. > :09:56.It is alleged that information endangered or was likely to endanger
:09:56. > :10:00.the safety of the aircraft. This all relates to PK 709, which set off
:10:00. > :10:06.from Lahore in Pakistan on Friday, bound for Manchester. It was
:10:06. > :10:11.diverted to Stansted. RAF jets were sent up to escort the plane in. Mr
:10:11. > :10:16.Subhani and Mr Subhani confirmed their names and addresses. Mr
:10:16. > :10:24.Subhani is 41 and Mr Subhani is 30 from Nelson. The pair were remanded
:10:24. > :10:29.in custody. They will appear again in August. Simon, many thanks.
:10:29. > :10:33.The head of the Catholic Church in Australia has apologised to victims
:10:33. > :10:36.of child abuse by some priests. Questioned at a Government inquiry
:10:37. > :10:40.he admitted there had been a cover-up in the past. He said he had
:10:40. > :10:47.had no role in it. The Catholic Church in Australia says more than
:10:47. > :10:55.600 children were abused by priests over the past 80 years.
:10:55. > :10:59.Only a matter of months ago the Cardinal was in the splendour of the
:10:59. > :11:03.Sistine Chapel electing a new Pope. Today he faced five hours of
:11:03. > :11:10.questioning by a parliamentary committee in Victoria looking at the
:11:10. > :11:17.problem of child sex abuse. I am fully apologetic and sorry. That is
:11:17. > :11:21.the basis for everything on which I will say. The ro The Roman Catholic
:11:21. > :11:27.Church in Victoria accepts over 600 cases of child abuse since the
:11:27. > :11:31.1930s. The Cardinal admitted that there have been some instances of
:11:31. > :11:37.cover-ups. The fear of the scandal led to the cover-up, didn't it?
:11:37. > :11:43.did. Do you agree that it allowed paedophile priests to prey on
:11:43. > :11:50.children? Yes. That is... You have to say there is significant truth in
:11:50. > :11:55.that. The foster family has suffered. Two daughters were victims
:11:55. > :11:59.of sexual abuse. Emma committed suicide, Katie is now disabled after
:12:00. > :12:07.drinking heavily and being hit by a car. The Cardinal, they allege,
:12:07. > :12:13.showed what they showed a lack of empathy. He just spoke over us,
:12:13. > :12:16.cutting us off with these lies, you know, we will take your evidence to
:12:16. > :12:24.court. Prove what you are saying in court. Well, I don't listen to this,
:12:24. > :12:30.because it is all gossip until it is proven in court. What's he on about?
:12:30. > :12:33.The most senior Catholic clergyman in Australia denied any involvement
:12:33. > :12:40.in the cover-ups and said the Church's leadership was unaware of
:12:40. > :12:46.the extent of the problem. Now, in cricket it is the fourth day
:12:46. > :12:55.of the second Test at Headingley and England have built a healthy lead
:12:55. > :13:01.after a century from Cook-and-a-half century from trot trot. There --
:13:01. > :13:09.Trott. The threat of rain tomorrow meant it was time to get a move on.
:13:09. > :13:13.Trott began at a quicker canter than yesterday. Captain Cook sailed past
:13:13. > :13:19.the century mark within an hour. Headingley's eyes would stay
:13:19. > :13:26.focussed on him. When would he feel his side had a big enough lead? For
:13:26. > :13:36.New Zealand this is becoming a migraine - a chance flashed before
:13:36. > :13:38.
:13:38. > :13:44.Taylor's eyes. Trott moved on past 50. Cook chipped William son for
:13:44. > :13:50.130. Bell followed him and followed him back, trying to accelerate.
:13:51. > :13:55.It is out of the Kiwi's hands now. Over to Cook to decide when to
:13:55. > :14:00.declare. Heritage railways up and down the
:14:00. > :14:06.country are hoping for a busy bank holiday. Many steam engine operators
:14:06. > :14:11.are struggling due to coal shortages, which have driven up
:14:11. > :14:18.prices. Many train companies are frantic
:14:18. > :14:26.franticly scrambling for supplies. Ed Thomas is at Keighley for us.
:14:26. > :14:32.This is the place of the Brontes, it is where the Railway Children was
:14:32. > :14:38.filmed. It would not be the same without these. They are running out
:14:38. > :14:41.of this - coal. It is not just here, it is across the country.
:14:42. > :14:46.For decades this railway has been home to locomotives and giving
:14:46. > :14:50.families a day out. But there is a warning that the coal
:14:50. > :14:56.that fires the engines is running low and that could finally mean the
:14:56. > :15:00.end of the age of steam. Without coal, oil and water, the steam
:15:00. > :15:05.engines will not run. If they cannot run, all our passengers here today
:15:05. > :15:10.will not have the pleasure of having a trip on the railway. Either that
:15:10. > :15:14.or we run diesel engines, which are not as attractive. The number of
:15:14. > :15:19.suppliers of coal in the UK are falling. Prices are falling, so is
:15:19. > :15:24.the risk of losing this unique steam experience. And this is where it all
:15:24. > :15:29.happens. You can feel the heat come from the engine. Every single bump
:15:29. > :15:35.as the carriages move along. But none of this would be possible
:15:35. > :15:40.without this - coal. And this engine uses two tonnes every single day.
:15:40. > :15:45.There are around 200 historical rail companies across the country, with
:15:46. > :15:54.millions of people reliving our steam heritage. It is our history. I
:15:54. > :15:58.think it needs to be preserved for future generations. There are all
:15:58. > :16:03.these youngsters around these places - it is keeping a huge chunk of
:16:03. > :16:07.history. For those who dedicate their lives to steam engines, to
:16:07. > :16:13.lose this part of our past is heartbreaking. We are not getting
:16:13. > :16:21.the number of volunteers we need to run the railway. I fear in another
:16:21. > :16:24.generation it will all be finishing. The summer surge of tourists for our
:16:24. > :16:29.heritage railways is here. Enthusiasts hope it will not be the
:16:29. > :16:34.last for them to enjoy the sights and the sound of steam.
:16:34. > :16:37.Yes, many heritage railways are turning to places like Russia and
:16:37. > :16:43.Poland for their coal. Speak to people here and they will tell you
:16:43. > :16:51.what they really want is a supply of UK Coal that is affordable and
:16:51. > :16:59.reliable. Many thanks. Now, the actor bi-Pertwee has died.
:16:59. > :17:08.He was 86. He is seen here on the left and was best known for playing
:17:08. > :17:12.Hodges in Dad's Army. Now, with heavy down pours and a
:17:12. > :17:22.jewellery heist or two Cannes has not run to plan this year. It closed
:17:22. > :17:29.last night with a controversial French drama winning the top prize.
:17:29. > :17:34.Blue was the warmest colour for this year's golden Palm. A love story
:17:34. > :17:43.between two French women took home the greatest trophy. Another French

:17:53. > :17:53.
:17:53. > :18:00.for The Passe. What did you say you played? Folk
:18:00. > :18:04.songs. This was a year for American excellence proved by this film

:18:15. > :18:25.me something from in inside Llewyn... It is likely to make a
:18:25. > :18:32.
:18:32. > :18:39.is a huge lesson for me. There were films about Hollywood. The Bling
:18:39. > :18:44.Ring, the cult of youth and beauty. Emma Watson transforms into a teen
:18:44. > :18:50.yiej thief, literally prepared to steal the clothes of a celebrity's
:18:50. > :18:55.back. She was something I could transform. That was a huge
:18:55. > :18:59.compliment she paid me. I wanted to pay her back and do it really well.
:18:59. > :19:03.After the Oscars the Cannes red carpet is the most glittering in the

:19:33. > :19:37.until the awards season. The Artist went all the way to win the Oscar.
:19:37. > :19:43.Hollywood is looking at Cannes once more as a great place to launch an
