:01:52. > :01:55.Good evening. Welcome to the BBC News at Six.
:01:55. > :02:00.It's been another tense day on the world's stock markets with more
:02:00. > :02:03.losses caused by fears about debt and stagnant growth. Despite better
:02:03. > :02:08.than expected jobs figures from the United States, and an appeal from
:02:08. > :02:11.the EU to stay calm, the share sell-off continued today. In a
:02:11. > :02:14.moment we will be analysing the reasons behind the instability. But
:02:14. > :02:23.first our Business Editor Robert Peston on another day of market
:02:23. > :02:26.turmoil. 24 hours of turmoil on markets.
:02:26. > :02:31.Share prices plunged yesterday in Germany and the rest of Europe
:02:31. > :02:35.infecting the Americans, Brazil and the USA. Overnight, it spread to
:02:36. > :02:40.Asia, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and then back to Europe
:02:40. > :02:45.and the UK today. Almost three trillion pounds wiped off shares
:02:45. > :02:49.worldwide. The crisis was triggered by growing fears that Italy and
:02:49. > :02:54.Spain would be unable to repay their debts. It led to a rise in
:02:54. > :02:57.their borrowing costs. That for a brief moment was stemmed on July
:02:57. > :03:01.21st when the government said they would agree a new support package
:03:02. > :03:07.but the fears of investors and creditors revived and Italy and
:03:07. > :03:12.Spain's borrowing costs rose to dangerous levels. I would encourage
:03:12. > :03:18.now anybody to stay calm and breathe deeply. And see that the
:03:18. > :03:22.economic recovery is going on. It's important that we protect ourselves
:03:22. > :03:26.from the turbulence. This work is going on day and night. It's
:03:26. > :03:31.tempting to see this as having very little relevance to most of us, but
:03:31. > :03:37.they directly affect our pensions and they may say a good deal about
:03:37. > :03:40.the confidence of companies to invest and create jobs. When bank
:03:40. > :03:44.shares for it could tell you about their ability to borrow and when
:03:44. > :03:50.they can't borrow they find it hard to lend and when they can't lend,
:03:50. > :03:53.the economy weakens. This afternoon there was a brief recovery in share
:03:53. > :03:58.prices after US unemployment figures turned out to be better
:03:59. > :04:01.than feared. But the respite was short-lived. What I want the
:04:02. > :04:06.American people and our partners around the world to know is this.
:04:06. > :04:12.We will get through this. Things will get better. We are going to
:04:12. > :04:18.get it together. If the problem is the excessive debt of which Western
:04:18. > :04:21.countries, is there a painless solution? No, I'm afraid. What it
:04:21. > :04:26.amounts to his people will have to accept that governments will be
:04:26. > :04:30.smaller, and will spend less, so there will be less public sector
:04:30. > :04:34.employment, fewer jobs in the public sector, and less expenditure
:04:34. > :04:39.on things like health care and pensions and education. Bank shares
:04:39. > :04:45.have been particularly badly hit with Barclays Bank down 17%, of
:04:45. > :04:50.Bank of Scotland, 20%, and Lloyds Bank, 24% down. Today while Bank of
:04:50. > :04:53.Scotland said it was back in their red to �1.4 billion for the first
:04:53. > :04:58.six months of the year because of losses of more than �800 million on
:04:58. > :05:02.its loans to Greece. How bad can it get? It we would be stupid not to
:05:02. > :05:06.be cautious and alert to the sick of it and risks out there which can
:05:06. > :05:10.turn bad, but I think the probability is that the world does
:05:10. > :05:17.not turn overnight from a place which is slowly recovering to a
:05:17. > :05:23.place which is a disaster area. Commodities markets fall in lead,
:05:23. > :05:26.copper zinc and a turn say we or risk being burned in the white heat
:05:26. > :05:29.of markets. Well, the fears over Italian and
:05:29. > :05:32.Spanish debt have cast a particular chill over investors, despite the
:05:32. > :05:36.EU insisting that neither economy needs a bail-out. There is now a
:05:36. > :05:40.combination of worries on both sides of the Atlantic. And concern
:05:40. > :05:42.that the political leadership in Europe isn't acting decisively. Our
:05:42. > :05:48.Economics Editor Stephanie Flanders looks now at the growing financial
:05:48. > :05:53.fears. You might wonder why the markets
:05:53. > :05:57.are panicking right now? After all, didn't we have good news America
:05:57. > :06:02.wasn't going to default on its debt? Investors aren't just worried
:06:02. > :06:08.about that, but worried about growth. The .. Concern is there but
:06:08. > :06:12.the bigger problem is a broader sense that the pace of recovery is
:06:12. > :06:16.unusually weak compared with the past. It's the biggest in the post-
:06:16. > :06:20.war period by a considerable margin and the underlying problem is to do
:06:20. > :06:25.with debt and the fact, whether it's in the private, corporate
:06:25. > :06:29.sector, public sector, everyone is trying to repay their debts. In the
:06:29. > :06:33.eurozone, fear of slow growth has fuelled fears of a level of
:06:33. > :06:38.government debt of. Investors worry if Italy and Spain can't grow, they
:06:38. > :06:41.won't be able to control their borrowing and because they are all
:06:41. > :06:45.tied together by a single currency, the problems of individual
:06:45. > :06:50.countries have turned into a problem for everyone. So what can
:06:50. > :06:53.world leaders do to stem the panic? They might want to rethink their
:06:53. > :06:57.holiday plans for a start. The leaders of France, Germany and
:06:57. > :07:00.Italy are away from their desks, though David Cameron interrupted
:07:00. > :07:05.his break today to chat with the Governor of the Bank of England.
:07:05. > :07:09.What in the world can they do about this? If it continues, the central
:07:09. > :07:14.banks may act. The European Central Bank is under pressure to support
:07:14. > :07:17.countries by buying more of their debt. If that the USA recovery
:07:17. > :07:23.stumbles you may see their central bank pumping more money into the
:07:23. > :07:27.economy. And what can government in the eurozone do? Well, we could see
:07:27. > :07:31.them off on a budget cuts, which could happen in Italy. What
:07:31. > :07:36.investors want to see is all countries acting together to create
:07:36. > :07:43.a bigger bail-out fund perhaps. And maybe even guaranteeing troubled
:07:43. > :07:47.country's debts. These are steps Germany refused to take. You might
:07:47. > :07:51.wonder what this means for us in Britain. After all, we didn't sign
:07:51. > :07:57.up for the euro. But we are fully paid-up members of the global
:07:57. > :08:01.economy. No country is immune from these problems. Clearly, there are
:08:01. > :08:04.global financial market problems here. But we, in Britain, are not
:08:04. > :08:08.in the firing line of these problems because of the difficult
:08:08. > :08:13.decisions we have taken over the last year to bring spending under
:08:13. > :08:16.control, to bring down borrowing, controlled debtor. We are able to
:08:16. > :08:20.borrow at low rates of interest because the financial markets have
:08:20. > :08:25.confidence in what we're doing. is true, the market are not so
:08:25. > :08:29.worried about Britain's debt, but another reason our costs are low is
:08:29. > :08:33.because investors are worried about growth here as well. Our recovery
:08:33. > :08:37.hopes are pinned on banks' lending more and companies exporting more.
:08:37. > :08:40.None of that would happen if the worries in the last few days get
:08:40. > :08:43.out of hand. Let's get more reaction now. In a
:08:43. > :08:47.moment, our North America Editor Mark Mardell. But first to Brussels
:08:47. > :08:51.and our Europe Editor Gavin Hewitt. All this talk about Italy and Spain
:08:51. > :08:56.is continuing. How much pressure do think leaders are under to do
:08:56. > :09:00.something decisive about this? they are under huge pressure. Two
:09:00. > :09:05.weeks ago they leapt at a summit believing they had done enough for
:09:05. > :09:09.them to go away on holiday. They expand the powers of their main a
:09:10. > :09:15.rescue fund and then along came Italy. Under pressure. A country of
:09:15. > :09:21.low growth and high debt. 1.6 trillion pounds, too big to be
:09:21. > :09:26.bailed out, so the question was, what is the plan? Some say the
:09:26. > :09:30.rescue plan, it will have to be expanded again. Others say what
:09:30. > :09:34.Europe needs is for all its debts to be put together in a common
:09:34. > :09:39.European debt, but the Germans don't like that one bit. An example
:09:39. > :09:43.of how complicated this is. I'm getting the impression tonight of
:09:43. > :09:47.European leaders scrambling to come up with a plan. There are phone-
:09:47. > :09:51.calls going on for the David Cameron got involved, talking to
:09:51. > :09:54.Angela Merkel and just about now, the Italian prime minister Silvio
:09:54. > :09:58.Berlusconi will have to hold a press conference. He is under
:09:58. > :10:03.pressure to convince the markets that he is serious about bringing
:10:03. > :10:07.forward austerity measures now and if he does that, he might get some
:10:07. > :10:12.support from the European Central Bank, but this is a very messy
:10:12. > :10:16.situation here in Europe. On your side of pedantic, we had jobs
:10:16. > :10:20.figures out today which were a relief to many investors. -- on
:10:20. > :10:24.your side of the Atlantic. Does it mean there is light at the end of
:10:24. > :10:29.the tunnel? People were braced for a really bad figures and did not
:10:29. > :10:33.get that. It tells you something when an unemployment rate of 9.1%,
:10:34. > :10:37.hardly moving at all, is considered good news. People are looking for
:10:37. > :10:41.tell-tale signs that they might be another recession, and that is why
:10:41. > :10:45.it was a relief it didn't give but evidence but there is hardly any
:10:45. > :10:49.growth in the American economy at all. That is the underlying problem.
:10:49. > :10:53.Barack Obama said things will get better but I didn't hear any new
:10:53. > :10:57.policies from him. No reasons why things should get better. The
:10:57. > :11:05.economy is very fragile. There is not much politicians can do except
:11:05. > :11:09.watch and wait for the thanks to you both. And there's more on the
:11:09. > :11:12.crisis and what it might mean for you in a special section of the BBC
:11:12. > :11:17.website. A 17-year-old British tourist has
:11:17. > :11:21.been killed by a polar bear in the Norwegian Arctic. He has been named
:11:21. > :11:24.as Horatio Chapple, a pupil from Eton College who was from Sailsbury.
:11:24. > :11:27.Four others were injured in the attack on a camp in the Svalbard
:11:27. > :11:36.Islands in northern Norway. The injured have been flown by air

:11:54. > :12:00.British students on an Arctic camping adventure of a lifetime. It
:12:00. > :12:04.turned into a tragedy. It is the chance of seeing a polar bear in
:12:04. > :12:09.their natural habitat which is one of the top attractions of trips
:12:09. > :12:17.here. Nearly 3,000 polar bears roaming wild admits the stunning
:12:17. > :12:20.landscape. The expedition at website talks of an arctic
:12:20. > :12:24.adventure of sea ice and the polar bears they were dreaming of seeing,
:12:24. > :12:29.but they got too close and the attack, it seems, came this morning
:12:29. > :12:34.while they were camped out on a remote glacier. Having spoken to
:12:34. > :12:42.the family, we are now able to advise the young explorer who died
:12:42. > :12:47.this morning is Horatio Chapple. He was a fine young man. He was hoping
:12:47. > :12:50.to go on to read medicine after school. The British Schools

:13:04. > :13:09.world's last true wildernesses. Holidays to zones like Svalbard,
:13:09. > :13:16.where polar bears roam free, are dangerous. This boy flew home early
:13:16. > :13:20.because of frostbite. He says they had training. They taught us to use

:13:28. > :13:32.had wires along it. -- flares. We had an empty shotgun round and made
:13:32. > :13:35.a loud bang and it's supposed to scare away the polar bears. It's
:13:35. > :13:41.not clear what went on this morning but as polar bear habitats are
:13:41. > :13:44.melting, encounters with humans are getting more common. If the ice has
:13:44. > :13:47.gone away from the land and there is a lot of open water, they would
:13:47. > :13:52.have to stay on the land and they get very, very hungry. There's
:13:52. > :13:55.nothing for them to beat. Britain's ambassador and the chief executive

:15:45. > :15:50.warning sign of possible heart problems. Athena's reading is that
:15:50. > :15:57.a healthy level. Anything much lower and doctors would immediately
:15:57. > :16:01.asked for eight detailed scan of the heart. That is what happened
:16:01. > :16:06.with Sam. He is now a happy, healthy three-year-old but the test
:16:06. > :16:11.picked up a serious problem. It meant he could have life-saving
:16:11. > :16:16.keyhole surgery where he was just a few days old. Luckily, they picked
:16:16. > :16:20.it up really quickly. They did the test and it progressed quickly to
:16:20. > :16:23.the paediatrician down to the intensive care unit in the
:16:23. > :16:28.children's hospital. It happened really quickly. If it had not been
:16:28. > :16:34.done, who knows when it would have been picked up? This study into
:16:34. > :16:39.heart defects in babies is the largest of its kind. Around one in
:16:39. > :16:45.145 babies are born with some kind of hard problem. Up to 50 % are
:16:45. > :16:48.detected in pregnancy when the mum has an ultrasound. The research in
:16:48. > :16:54.today's Lancet says 92 % would be found if a blood oxygen test was
:16:54. > :16:58.also carried out on all newborn babies. That is why the research
:16:58. > :17:04.here is attracting interest from around the world. It is not very
:17:04. > :17:07.common but it can be very serious, it can be devastating. It is a

:17:12. > :17:18.malformations and it is one of the leading causes of Infant Death in
:17:18. > :17:23.the developed world. Because of a difference it has made to children
:17:23. > :17:26.like Sam, the hospital has already adopted this Test and as it is
:17:26. > :17:31.simple and cheap, there are hopes that it might be introduced across
:17:31. > :17:35.the UK. That decision will be made by

:25:12. > :25:20.and there will be some rain around as well. Not the nice weather that
:25:20. > :25:25.we had today. Gradually, the trend will be for it to cloud up from the
:25:25. > :25:32.West. One or two showers breaking up from the end of the night. A

:27:25. > :27:30.be concerned because the underlying cause of the market turmoil is
:27:30. > :27:36.something that is serious and worrying. It is a combination of
