:00:09. > :00:13.Europe's economic crisis is spreading. A warning from the EU

:00:13. > :00:18.Commission. The debt contagion now threatens Italy and Spain. The

:00:18. > :00:22.eurozone's third and fourth biggest economies. All smiles two weeks ago

:00:22. > :00:30.when Europe's leaders bailed out Greece. The EU says they may have

:00:30. > :00:36.to step in again. Markets are extremely happy that the real

:00:36. > :00:38.underlying problems, which is an absence of growth, have not been

:00:39. > :00:41.resolved. We'll be asking whether trouble in the eurozone means

:00:41. > :00:45.trouble over here. Also tonight: The alleged torture of UK terror

:00:45. > :00:55.suspects. Human rights groups pull out of the inquiry saying it is not

:00:55. > :00:56.

:00:56. > :01:02.credible. The father of the Australian teenager who thought she

:01:02. > :01:08.had a bomb around her neck describes her ordeal. She is tired

:01:08. > :01:12.and saw from this device. The five- a-day guide to bringing up children.

:01:12. > :01:19.Do you know what it takes to be a good parent? And later in the

:01:19. > :01:23.sport: Joey Barton is thrown a lifeline by his manager. The

:01:23. > :01:33.midfielder has been on the transfer list after comments he made about

:01:33. > :01:43.

:01:43. > :01:47.Good evening and welcome to the BBC's News at Six. Just two weeks

:01:47. > :01:51.ago European leaders thought they had averted a financial crisis. Now

:01:51. > :01:55.it seems they didn't even come close. The head of the European

:01:55. > :01:58.Commission has warned that saving Greece was not enough. Italy and

:01:58. > :02:02.Spain - the eurozone's third and fourth biggest economies - are the

:02:02. > :02:05.latest countries struggling with a loss of market confidence. The

:02:05. > :02:09.crisis has triggered a massive sell off on the London Stock Exchange,

:02:09. > :02:19.wiping �40 billion off its value. Here's our economics editor,

:02:19. > :02:20.

:02:20. > :02:24.Stephanie Flanders. Two weeks ago today, at their umpteenth emergency

:02:24. > :02:28.summit, European leaders said they had finally taken the tough

:02:29. > :02:35.decisions. The future of the euro was safe. Someone forgot to tell

:02:35. > :02:39.financial markets. A couple of weeks ago markets anticipated the

:02:39. > :02:43.European players had got together and found a solution to the problem.

:02:43. > :02:48.When you dig into the detail that lies behind the grand statements,

:02:48. > :02:54.it is clear there is not a lot of money on the table and no political

:02:54. > :02:58.will to sort out the problems. again it is Italy and Spain that

:02:58. > :03:03.are paying the price. A year ago the Spanish government was paying

:03:03. > :03:10.4.4 % to borrow from the markets, much less than the likes of Greece.

:03:10. > :03:20.In the lead-up to the summit, it had come up to 6.3 %. It is now

:03:20. > :03:20.

:03:20. > :03:25.back very close to that level. Italy is plain -- paying almost as

:03:25. > :03:30.much. They're running out of ways to respond. The European Commission

:03:30. > :03:34.President today sent a stern letter to euro governments, talking about

:03:34. > :03:40.a growing market scepticism about the capacity to do with the crisis

:03:40. > :03:48.which had now extended well beyond the periphery of the eurozone. They

:03:48. > :03:52.should push ahead with what they have already agreed. The European

:03:52. > :03:56.Central Bank did take action today, announcing it was stepping to

:03:56. > :04:02.support governments under pressure by buying bonds, something it has

:04:02. > :04:10.not done since March. The President also had stern words for national

:04:10. > :04:15.politicians. The key for everything is governing ahead of the curve. In

:04:15. > :04:19.terms of fiscal policy and structural reforms. Structural

:04:19. > :04:25.reforms are of the essence. I know they are here and there are

:04:25. > :04:31.difficult. They might be politically difficult. They are

:04:31. > :04:36.paying off. The UK did get ahead of the curve on cutting its deficit.

:04:36. > :04:41.The opposition would say too far ahead. Bank stocks fell sharply on

:04:42. > :04:46.fears that British banks and the fragile recovery would be blown off

:04:46. > :04:50.course by the crisis across the Channel. Everyone could agree it

:04:50. > :04:56.was a bad time for European leaders to be heading for the beach. And

:04:56. > :05:01.Stephanie is with me now. It is happening over there but it has

:05:01. > :05:06.caused Arad on the stock market. Are they running out of options?

:05:06. > :05:09.The markets are thin and everyone has gone on holiday. People have

:05:09. > :05:13.looked at the building storm in financial markets around the world

:05:13. > :05:18.in the last few days with increasing concern because we know

:05:18. > :05:22.European politicians do not have a lot more to throw at it. At the

:05:22. > :05:29.summit a few weeks ago they said they would turn the emergency bail

:05:29. > :05:35.out fund into a marriage to fund to help countries in trouble. --

:05:35. > :05:39.Monetary Fund. European central bank can only be a stop gap. At the

:05:39. > :05:44.same time there are real worries about the strength of the global

:05:44. > :05:48.recovery which is pushing down stocks. We do not know how this

:05:49. > :05:53.will play out. In the next few weeks, the way this crisis plays

:05:54. > :05:56.about, could be crucial to our recovery. Shares in Lloyds Banking

:05:56. > :06:00.Group have fallen sharply after it announced losses of �3.3 billion.

:06:00. > :06:02.The bank, which is partly owned by the taxpayer, has had to set aside

:06:02. > :06:07.�3.2 billion to compensate customers who were mis-sold payment

:06:07. > :06:14.protection insurance. The Bank of England has announced that interest

:06:14. > :06:17.rates will remain at a record low of a half of one per cent. The

:06:17. > :06:21.Monetary Policy Committee also voted not to increase its programme

:06:21. > :06:24.of quantitative easing, which pumps new money into the economy. A court

:06:24. > :06:26.in France has ruled that the new head of the International Monetary

:06:26. > :06:29.Fund, Christine Lagarde, should be formally investigated over

:06:29. > :06:35.accusations that she abused her position when she was the French

:06:35. > :06:40.Finance Minister. Ms Lagarde denies influencing a multi million pound

:06:41. > :06:43.payment in favour of a business tycoon in 2008. Major human rights

:06:43. > :06:45.groups have decided to boycott the independent inquiry into what

:06:45. > :06:50.British security services knew about the alleged torture or

:06:51. > :06:53.mistreatment of terror suspects. They say it will lack credibility.

:06:53. > :06:57.David Cameron announced the inquiry last summer saying it would clear

:06:57. > :07:06.up any questions of wrongdoing and restore Britain's moral standing.

:07:06. > :07:09.Our security correspondent, Gordon Corera, reports. How much did

:07:09. > :07:13.British intelligence know about the alleged mistreatment of those

:07:14. > :07:19.detained abroad in the fight against terrorism? Last year the

:07:19. > :07:23.Prime Minister made clear he wanted to draw a line under the ongoing

:07:23. > :07:28.controversy. The longer these questions remain unanswered, the

:07:28. > :07:32.bigger the stain on our reputation... He announced an

:07:32. > :07:40.inquiry. Lawyer's have now said they will not participate. One

:07:40. > :07:44.former detainee explains why. will be information that we think

:07:44. > :07:51.is right for us to see as former prisoners that will be held in

:07:51. > :07:55.secret and kept in secret. We will not be able to see it. In a sense

:07:55. > :08:01.it is a repeat of history. Our detention in Guantanamo Bay was

:08:01. > :08:04.justified through the use of secret tribunals. Supporters of the

:08:04. > :08:10.inquiry into the intelligence services claim it will be as open

:08:10. > :08:13.as possible, given the nature of the material. It will be more open

:08:13. > :08:19.than any inquiry that has previously dealt with intelligence

:08:19. > :08:22.matters has ever been. There is still a limit. There will be items

:08:22. > :08:31.of material that a so sensitive it would be against the interests of

:08:31. > :08:35.the country to publish them. Government hoped it could limit the

:08:35. > :08:40.damage by agreeing a deal in which the former detainees it would end

:08:40. > :08:45.their legal action in return for compensation - believed to amount

:08:46. > :08:50.to millions of pounds - as well as an agreement to hold an independent

:08:50. > :08:54.inquiry. A key issue for that inquiry is what guidance was given

:08:54. > :08:58.to intelligence officers interrogating detainees held by

:08:58. > :09:03.other countries. There is no allegation of torture by Britons

:09:03. > :09:08.and intelligence chiefs have denied any complicity in his treatment by

:09:08. > :09:13.other nations. A police investigation is ongoing. When that

:09:13. > :09:17.concludes, the inquiry is due to the game. A spokesperson said it

:09:17. > :09:23.would move forward with or without those representing the detainees.

:09:23. > :09:30.The question will be, with how much credibility? Reports from the

:09:30. > :09:34.Syrian city of, say people were killed overnight by government

:09:34. > :09:38.troops. There has been a major military assault and they appear to

:09:38. > :09:44.have taken the city centre. Communications are almost

:09:44. > :09:47.completely cut off. One resident has described it as a battlefield.

:09:47. > :09:51.Alex Salmond has published an exchange of letters with News

:09:51. > :09:57.International executives, including Rupert Murdoch, in the wake of the

:09:57. > :10:03.phone hacking scandal. The letters date back for years. The meetings

:10:03. > :10:07.were right and proper, it is claimed. Live to our Scotland

:10:07. > :10:12.Correspondent he was outside News International printing plant in

:10:12. > :10:19.Lancashire -- Lanarkshire. What is being said? They reveal a friendly

:10:19. > :10:25.relationship between the two men. A relationship on first-name terms.

:10:25. > :10:29.In one letter, from October 2007 to a News International executive,

:10:29. > :10:37.Alex Salmond wrote, I hope that News International goes from

:10:37. > :10:44.strength to strength. In another letter, addressed to Sir Rupert in

:10:44. > :10:51.September, 2008, he was invited to join the official Scottish

:10:51. > :10:57.delegation for the Ryder Cup matches to be held in Kentucky next

:10:57. > :11:02.month. Alex Salmond said he would offer Rupert Murdoch hospitality.

:11:02. > :11:08.That would not have been paid for by the tax payer here. Is this

:11:08. > :11:12.likely to be damaging in any way? It has been seized upon by the

:11:12. > :11:17.Labour Party in Scotland who have suggested it shows a pattern of

:11:17. > :11:22.Alex Salmond seducing Rupert Murdoch and continuing to do so. He

:11:23. > :11:32.was continuing to meet him until as recently as June this year - one of

:11:32. > :11:38.A Macro of three encounters between the two men. What Alex Salmond a

:11:38. > :11:45.pass to be as people say is they successfully secured the support of

:11:45. > :11:50.the sun paper macro. -- Alex Salmond a's people. An intruder

:11:50. > :11:56.strapped a fake bomb around the neck of a teenage girl. Madeleine

:11:56. > :12:00.Pulver suffered a 10 hour ordeal at her home in the suburb of Mosman.

:12:00. > :12:05.Nick Bryant reports. The father of the girl has been speaking about

:12:05. > :12:11.the incident. At the end of her ordeal, Madeleine Pulver was taken

:12:11. > :12:16.to hospital near her home. She was sore but in good spirits. Given

:12:16. > :12:22.that she had what was feared to be a bomb chained to her neck for 10

:12:22. > :12:28.hours. This is the suburb where the drama unfolded. Aim last intruder

:12:28. > :12:35.entering the family home with a shoe box sized device he said it

:12:35. > :12:41.was packed with explosives. The police said it was a very elaborate

:12:41. > :12:47.hoax. A note left behind -- by the intruder suggested the motive.

:12:47. > :12:53.are treating this as a very serious attempted extortion. The

:12:53. > :12:58.examination of the device has revealed there was in fact no

:12:58. > :13:01.explosive material contained in that advice. As bomb-disposal

:13:01. > :13:06.experts had struggled to make sense of the device, her parents had to

:13:06. > :13:10.wait on the street, unable to communicate directly with her

:13:10. > :13:15.daughter. They saluted the bravery of the police who stayed with her

:13:15. > :13:20.and also the calmness of their daughter. Maddie wanted to thank

:13:20. > :13:27.the few officers who spent many long hours sitting with have,

:13:27. > :13:35.showing little regard for their own personal safety. They were an

:13:35. > :13:41.incredible comfort during a horrific ordeal. They know who they

:13:41. > :13:45.are and she is incredibly grateful. It is being reported tonight that

:13:45. > :13:52.the note attached to be devise warned it would explode if

:13:52. > :13:57.Madeleine tried to contact police or tried to tamper with the wires.

:13:57. > :14:01.It underscores the terror that unfolded. It is something they are

:14:01. > :14:08.determined to put behind them, saying they just want to get on

:14:08. > :14:12.with their lives. It is probably the toughest job any of us do -

:14:12. > :14:17.bringing up children. A group of researchers said there are five key

:14:17. > :14:22.ways in which parents can make sure children get the best start in life.

:14:22. > :14:29.The Government should start a national campaign to help parents.

:14:29. > :14:34.Would that really work? The kind of day that will test any parent. On

:14:34. > :14:41.this wet Somerset campsite this morning, some nerves would

:14:41. > :14:46.definitely frayed. How has it been? A nightmare. Gemma was finding it

:14:46. > :14:52.tough. The children have done nothing but fight. You are seeking

:14:52. > :14:57.sanctuary in your car. I have come to escape to have a cry.

:14:57. > :15:01.Government thinks it might have the answer. A five-point plan for mums

:15:01. > :15:09.and dads. What are these five key things that parents should be

:15:09. > :15:14.doing? Read to your child for a quarter of an hour every day.

:15:14. > :15:23.with to a child on the floor for 10 minutes. Talk to your child every

:15:23. > :15:30.day with the telly off. Give them lots of praise. Keep your kids good

:15:30. > :15:34.food. Good boy! Sheltering from the rain in their holiday chalet, a

:15:34. > :15:38.Melanie and her three children. She agrees a five-point plan can help

:15:38. > :15:43.development of children. Some parents do not have a lot of common

:15:43. > :15:48.sense was that they need to be told you do need to read your charts

:15:48. > :15:52.each night and feed them properly and spent time with them. Ministers

:15:52. > :15:57.hope the five a day plan can also address wider social problems as

:15:57. > :16:03.children grow up. They insist it is targeted at all parents regardless

:16:03. > :16:07.of income and background. Critics say it is simplistic and

:16:08. > :16:12.patronising. You have the real problem with parenting and

:16:12. > :16:18.childhood generally. It is a very complex one which cannot be solved

:16:18. > :16:23.by a quick recipe of five bullet points. Back at the Holiday Park,

:16:23. > :16:28.Gemma has decided how she will punish her children. Even after a

:16:28. > :16:33.difficult day she does not want advice from ministers. Go out and

:16:33. > :16:38.find criminals and leave us alone. The need to parent children how you

:16:38. > :16:48.want. It seems the Government is set to adopt these plants in its

:16:48. > :16:49.

:16:49. > :16:53.Our top story tonight: Europe's economic crisis is spreading,

:16:53. > :16:59.leading to a massive sell-off on the London Stock Exchange.

:16:59. > :17:09.Coming up: are you adicketed to your smartphone? We tap into some

:17:09. > :17:24.

:17:24. > :17:27.of the more surprising facts about The judge leading the inquiry into

:17:27. > :17:30.the phone hacking scandal, Lord Justice Leveson, has said he will

:17:30. > :17:34.examine wider press ethics in relation to the public, politicians

:17:35. > :17:38.and police. He will also look at how newspapers use private

:17:38. > :17:40.investigators. The BBC has learned that a controversial firm of

:17:40. > :17:43.private detectives, Southern Investigations, was employed by the

:17:43. > :17:53.Daily Mirror and Sunday Mirror on more than 200 occasions from 1997

:17:53. > :17:56.

:17:56. > :18:02.to 1999. Robert Peston has the details. Sunday Mirror, no surprise

:18:02. > :18:05.it has published endless stories on the likes of George Michael, Kirsty

:18:06. > :18:09.Young, Mick Jagger, Peter Mandelson and Will Carling. More surprising

:18:10. > :18:15.perhaps is that Sunday Mirror employed a private firm to get

:18:15. > :18:22.these stories and vast numbers of others. A former Mirror journalist

:18:22. > :18:26.convicted in 2005 for insider trading explains. There are a few

:18:26. > :18:32.journalists competing for the few stories. If you are competing

:18:32. > :18:35.against the Sun, the News Of The World or papers in your own group,

:18:35. > :18:40.like Sunday Mirror, you've got to do everything you can to get the

:18:40. > :18:46.story. If the opposition are using those methods, like News Of The

:18:46. > :18:49.World was, then you have to use those techniques or you are not

:18:49. > :18:55.going to get the stories and lose sales. A BBC investigation

:18:55. > :19:02.discovered that between October 1997 and September 1999 Southern

:19:02. > :19:08.Investigations was employed on 230 occasions by the Daily and Sunday

:19:09. > :19:12.Mirror and billed for its services. Many media service, including the

:19:13. > :19:17.BBC have employed private detectives. On average Southern was

:19:18. > :19:23.doing two pieces of work each week for the Mirror. This is some of

:19:23. > :19:29.what the Mirror bought from Southern Investigations. An invoice

:19:29. > :19:33.is for fouling Kirsty Young. It says, "To our motorcycle

:19:33. > :19:39.surveillance operative maintaining operations on your behalf." The

:19:39. > :19:45.bill? �306.62. Hiring a private detective to watch someone isn't

:19:45. > :19:48.illegal, even though some might be surprised papers do this. The

:19:48. > :19:51.Mirror paid for information on Peter Mandelson, the size of his

:19:51. > :20:00.mortgage, the monthly payments and the amount outstanding. Also, how

:20:00. > :20:04.much he had in his current and savings accounts at Coutts, the

:20:04. > :20:11.Queen's bank, and his direct debits. Many journalists would say there

:20:11. > :20:17.was a powerful public interest in learning about his private finances

:20:17. > :20:21.given that he had taken a loan from Geoffrey Robinson, a tie which

:20:21. > :20:25.should have been disclosed. I want British journalism yes to bring the

:20:25. > :20:30.truth to light but to do so with courage, with honesty, with decency.

:20:30. > :20:35.The Mirror Group told the BBC it last used Southern Investigations

:20:35. > :20:42.in 1999 and its journalists work within the criminal law and the PCC

:20:42. > :20:46.code of conduct. Another 1998 invoice was for a mobile phone

:20:46. > :20:50.number and PIN. There was no evidence it was used that way and

:20:50. > :20:54.phone hacking wasn't illegal until 2000. The Prime Minister asked Lord

:20:54. > :21:00.Justice Leveson to examine the culture, practices and ethics of

:21:00. > :21:06.the press following illegal behaviour at News Of The World.

:21:06. > :21:10.Lord Justice Leveson will look at how newspapers ferreted information

:21:10. > :21:13.rather than using journalists. A father of two from Leeds has been

:21:13. > :21:15.given an indeterminate jail sentence for possessing what police

:21:15. > :21:18.believe is the largest ever collection of child pornography in

:21:18. > :21:21.the UK. Daniel Taylor, from Farnley in Leeds, had more than 300,000

:21:21. > :21:30.images of abuse and pleaded guilty to 27 offences. Police say the

:21:30. > :21:33.sentence should act as a deterrent to others. The way we came about

:21:33. > :21:38.this is ground-breaking technology which we used to monitor activity

:21:38. > :21:41.like this on the internet, which enabled us then to identify Taylor,

:21:41. > :21:47.locate him, arrest him and bring him to justice. I would hope this

:21:47. > :21:50.case serves as a warning to others who may be tempted to engage this

:21:50. > :21:54.such activity. We will have the ability to identify them and track

:21:54. > :21:59.them down. Almost 130,000 pupils in Scotland

:21:59. > :22:02.got their exam results today and pass rates have hit record levels.

:22:02. > :22:07.But an urgent investigation has begun after tens of thousands of

:22:07. > :22:14.candidates were sent their results yesterday by mistake in text

:22:14. > :22:18.messages. It is a delivery which helps decide whether hopes for the

:22:18. > :22:24.future can become a reality. Influencing choices about whether

:22:24. > :22:30.to try and enter the world of work or find a course and continue

:22:30. > :22:35.studying. I've got two As, two Bs and a C. Are you pleased with that?

:22:35. > :22:41.I'm quite disappointed with the C for English. Hopefully I can appeal

:22:41. > :22:46.it. How but do? Four As and a B. I'm thrilled! This year one in five

:22:46. > :22:51.found out by text whether they passed or failed. Results sent a

:22:51. > :22:56.day early by mistake. There is now an inquiry into how this happened.

:23:33. > :23:37.universities will rise significantly. That prospect is

:23:37. > :23:41.making some pupils here like Douglas Scott and his parents pause

:23:41. > :23:45.for thought. It would be nice to think that England or English

:23:45. > :23:49.universities was an option. Financially it is not,

:23:49. > :23:56.unfortunately. Douglas is going to have to apply and keep his fingers

:24:19. > :24:25.that a third of adults and a majority of teenagers described

:24:25. > :24:32.themselves as highly addicted. They used them at meal times, in the

:24:44. > :24:49.never stops texting, while mum, Natasha, likes to stay on line.

:24:49. > :24:53.This technology has changed the way they live. They are addictive. I

:24:54. > :24:58.can sit there playing games, looking at Google and Facebook,

:24:58. > :25:06.things that usually would have to go to a computer for. Now it is

:25:34. > :25:38.maybe even when I'm on the toilet. You are kidding me! Er, no.

:25:38. > :25:43.these devices aren't easy to put down. Today's survey showed that

:25:43. > :25:48.23% of adults with smartphones use them at meal times. But at what

:25:48. > :25:54.cost to our manners? This pocket- sized computer appears to be

:25:54. > :25:59.changing the rules. Technology is really starting to drive the way we

:25:59. > :26:04.behave in social situations, it seems. The question is, how good a

:26:04. > :26:08.thing is it? More than a third of adults think they are highly

:26:08. > :26:12.addicted to their smartphones, according to the study. And the

:26:12. > :26:16.figures are far higher for teenagers. Young people are

:26:16. > :26:21.particularly heavy users of social networking sites and media such

:26:21. > :26:28.Aztecs messages. There is no evidence as such that it is

:26:53. > :26:59.one. Today some places saw a couple of inchs of rain on the South Coast.

:26:59. > :27:04.Most of hus a flash. The trend is for rain to be easing away as we go

:27:04. > :27:12.into the evening and night. It will linger in the far north-east, where

:27:12. > :27:16.it is misty and murky. Tonight, fresher. Temperatures down to 12-14

:27:16. > :27:22.degrees. It should be a dry end to the night virtually nationwide.

:27:22. > :27:26.Friday is looking OK for most. It might start grey but for most a

:27:26. > :27:30.fine end to the week, with welcome sunshine. It might be a struggle in

:27:30. > :27:33.some places but the cloud will lift. Not necessarily drive every. Where

:27:33. > :27:37.we'll have rain across the Northern Isles. Through the afternoon you

:27:37. > :27:43.might see the odd shower in parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland.

:27:43. > :27:51.For the vast majority of us, a nice day. We'll see cloud building

:27:51. > :27:55.inland. Some of the best of the sunshine will be on the coastal

:27:55. > :28:01.fringes. The wind is not too strong. The coasts of Devon and Cornwall

:28:01. > :28:09.not doing badly. Broken cloud inland. Fine and dry with light

:28:09. > :28:17.winds. That's the story across Wales as well. The chance of
