:01:30. > :01:33.Good evening, welcome to the BBC News at Six.
:01:33. > :01:37.The Prime Minister insists he feels "no bad blood or bitterness" after
:01:37. > :01:39.81 of his own MPs defied him last night in a vote over a referendum
:01:39. > :01:41.on withdrawal from the EU or renegoitation of Britain's
:01:41. > :01:44.membership. He acknowledged that Europe has always been a difficult
:01:44. > :01:47.issue for his party. But as he prepared to head to Brussels
:01:47. > :01:50.tomorrow for a crucial summit on the eurozone debt crisis, he played
:01:50. > :01:58.down suggestions of lasting damage and divisions within his party over
:01:58. > :02:01.Europe. Our deputy political editor, James Landale, reports. Perhaps
:02:01. > :02:05.David Cameron could have done with one of these last night. The Prime
:02:05. > :02:08.Minister inspected the Army's new armoured vehicles this morning,
:02:08. > :02:14.only hours after his own parliamentary defences were
:02:14. > :02:20.overwhelmed All 81 Conservative MPs defied him and backed a referendum
:02:20. > :02:26.on Europe, a record rebellion that's left the Government bruised
:02:26. > :02:30.but, Mr Cameron said, unblooded. There is no rancour on my part. I
:02:30. > :02:32.understand why people feel strongly and we'll go forward and tackle the
:02:32. > :02:35.difficult decisions that the country faces. You have to do the
:02:35. > :02:39.right thing and give a lead in politics and that's what yesterday
:02:39. > :02:44.was about. But as the Prime Minister tried to heal divisions in
:02:44. > :02:48.his party new ones opened up with his Liberal Democrat deputy, who
:02:48. > :02:52.said he can didn't share David Cameron's goal of repatriating
:02:52. > :02:56.powers from Brussels to London. This Government is not going to
:02:56. > :03:01.launch some smash and grab raid on Brussels on its own, which would
:03:01. > :03:05.never work, which would be condemned to failure anyway. What
:03:05. > :03:09.we'll continue to do is argue that British businesses and European
:03:09. > :03:13.businesses can exploit the opportunities in an evermore open
:03:13. > :03:17.European single market. This leaves the Prime Minister in a tricky
:03:18. > :03:22.position. His backbenchers want a tougher line on Europe and a fresh
:03:22. > :03:28.look at what the EU does. His coalition partners say that's
:03:28. > :03:32.something they won't tolerate. And all of this while the search for a
:03:32. > :03:37.solution goes on to the eurozone crisis. Europe's leaders were in
:03:38. > :03:42.Brussels only last Sunday and will be there tomorrow to try to sort
:03:42. > :03:48.out Greece's debts, and the bail- out fund. Mr Cameron has cleared
:03:48. > :03:53.his diary to be there to push for a deal to help growth in the UK's
:03:53. > :03:57.economy and stob Britain losing out in the hag oflg the eurozone. The
:03:57. > :04:00.fallout of the rebellion may be occupying many in Downing Street
:04:00. > :04:03.tonight but David Cameron said the focus has to be on some ofing the
:04:03. > :04:10.eurozone cries which is he says is having a chilling effect on the
:04:10. > :04:13.economy. Let's go to Brussels. Gavin Hewitt
:04:13. > :04:17.is there. There's a lot at stake tomorrow, are Europe's leaders
:04:17. > :04:21.going to be able to rise to the challenge? Well, the hope and
:04:21. > :04:24.expectation was that by this time tomorrow night or a little bit
:04:24. > :04:29.later, there would be a comprehensive package to sort out
:04:29. > :04:32.the yorz crisis. It is not there yet. There is no agreement in
:04:32. > :04:36.crucial areas. For instance on Greek debt. The plan was to get the
:04:36. > :04:41.banks to take big losses, perhaps 50 %. That hasn't been settled. On
:04:41. > :04:46.increasing the fire power of the EU's main bail-out fund, there are
:04:46. > :04:51.still difficulties there. Just two days ago Silvio Berlusconi was told
:04:51. > :04:54.to get his finances in order and come back with a piece of paper
:04:54. > :04:58.tomorrow explaining what he is going to do. That's led to a
:04:58. > :05:02.political crisis in Italy. I think there'll be agreement in principle
:05:02. > :05:07.tomorrow. But whether we'll get the hard numbers that will convince the
:05:07. > :05:11.markets and others that this crisis has finally been settled, that's an
:05:11. > :05:14.entirely different matter. In Turkey, rescuers have managed to
:05:14. > :05:17.save a two-week-old baby who was trapped beneath the rubble two days
:05:17. > :05:20.after a powerful earthquake struck the east of the country. The child
:05:20. > :05:25.was pulled out alive with her mother and grandmother, but her
:05:25. > :05:32.father is still missing. 432 people are now known to have died in the
:05:32. > :05:35.earthquake, but scores are still missing. Daniel Sandford is in the
:05:35. > :05:40.city of Ercis, from where he watched the extraordinary rescue
:05:40. > :05:48.unfold. The third day of this rescue
:05:48. > :05:55.operation began in the best possible way.
:05:55. > :06:02.A 16 day on old baby was gently brought out in a tiny hole in the
:06:02. > :06:07.broken concrete. She was premature, she had been born a month early.
:06:07. > :06:11.And then two weeks into her life she had only just escaped death.
:06:11. > :06:17.With the tiny baby now safely on its way to hospital, rescuers are
:06:17. > :06:22.working hard to bring out through the same small gap its mother and
:06:22. > :06:29.its grandmother, both of whom are still alive. In the crowd
:06:29. > :06:34.sheltering from the cold and rain we found the baby's grandfather,
:06:34. > :06:37.Ahmed, nervously waiting for news of his wife and daughter-in-law law.
:06:37. > :06:41.TRANSLATION: At the moment the earthquake struck my wife and
:06:41. > :06:46.daughter were with me but the baby was in another room. We ran to
:06:46. > :06:52.leave the building but the other two ran inside to get the baby. For
:06:52. > :06:56.two days I've been waiting for a miracle. For the next two hours the
:06:56. > :07:02.rescue team slowly expanded the hole in the rubble, working their
:07:02. > :07:07.way towards the two trapped women. They can't move down there, he told
:07:07. > :07:17.me, and they've been like that for more than two days. Then the
:07:17. > :07:19.
:07:19. > :07:25.breakthrough. Baby as mar's mother was brought out through the hole
:07:25. > :07:34.and carried to safety. Ten minutes later the baby's grandmother
:07:34. > :07:37.followed. She was also alive. The baby is now safely in an ain
:07:37. > :07:41.cubator and has been taken for treatment in a specialist hospital.
:07:41. > :07:45.Doctors say she is doing much better than expected, but her
:07:45. > :07:54.family isn't complete. Her father hasn't been heard from since the
:07:54. > :07:57.earthquake struck. Like hundreds of others he is still under the rubble.
:07:57. > :08:00.A major clean-up operation is under way in Dublin after more than a
:08:00. > :08:03.month's rain fell in 24 hours, causing severe flooding. Two people
:08:03. > :08:06.have drowned - a woman was found in her basement and a policeman was
:08:06. > :08:16.swept into a river in County Wicklow. From Dublin, Mark Simpson
:08:16. > :08:18.
:08:18. > :08:22.reports. There was no escape from the water. Even at one of Dublin's
:08:22. > :08:27.busiest shopping centres. Once the flooding started, no-one knew when
:08:27. > :08:34.it would stop. Panic set in as people tried to get
:08:34. > :08:40.out. This centre is normally full of shoppers. Instead it was filled
:08:40. > :08:46.by cold, dirty water. Two days of non-stop rain caused chaos in
:08:46. > :08:53.Ireland's capital city. Even a bus went underwater during last night's
:08:53. > :08:57.rush hour. The long ter night went on, the more dangerous the
:08:57. > :09:02.conditions became. I've never seen anything like this in the last 38
:09:02. > :09:06.years. Two people were killed. The body of an Irish policeman was
:09:06. > :09:10.found this morning, three miles from where he was swept into a
:09:10. > :09:15.river in County Wicklow. 25-year- old Kieran Jones had been helping
:09:15. > :09:19.others when the river broke its banks Dublin's city centre a woman
:09:19. > :09:24.was found dead in a flooded basement. The City Council had to
:09:24. > :09:30.put in place a full emergency operation. Here right in the centre
:09:30. > :09:35.of Dublin water levels are still dangerously high. But after two
:09:35. > :09:40.days of constant downpours it has finally stopped raining. But it is
:09:40. > :09:46.all too late for many families. had to climb over the back to get
:09:46. > :09:50.out. Our next door neighbour at the back... I was terrified. I'm still
:09:50. > :09:54.shaking, as you can gather. There was also flooding in Northern
:09:54. > :10:00.Ireland. County Tyrone was badly affected. On both sides of the
:10:01. > :10:03.Irish border 48 hours of constant rain took its toll.
:10:03. > :10:06.Five days after he was killed, Colonel Gaddafi has finally been
:10:06. > :10:10.buried with his son, Mutassim, in a secret location in the desert.
:10:10. > :10:17.Since his death last Thursday, his body had been on public display in
:10:17. > :10:20.a meat storage facility in Mistrata. Gabriel Gatehouse reports. This
:10:20. > :10:28.report includes footage of the bodies of Colonel Gaddafi and his
:10:28. > :10:32.son. They came at night to take the
:10:32. > :10:36.corpses from the market complex on the outskirts of Misrata. For days
:10:36. > :10:39.the former Libyan leader had been on grizzly display here. Prayers we
:10:39. > :10:43.were told were said over the bodies but no other bodies were
:10:43. > :10:50.forthcoming about where and how the burial had taken place. The reasons
:10:50. > :10:54.for the secrecy is twofold. Libya's new rulers do not want the final
:10:54. > :10:58.resting place to become a shrine for those who supported his regime.
:10:58. > :11:03.Nor do they wish his grave to become a focal point for the
:11:03. > :11:07.frenzied fury which surrounded his capture and killing on Thursday.
:11:07. > :11:11.TRANSLATION: If a group of revolutionaries capture a killer do
:11:11. > :11:15.you think they would kiss his head? What else do you think they would
:11:16. > :11:20.do? We want to tack this will issue naturally, not put it in a
:11:20. > :11:23.political framework nor give theoretical interpretations. Abroad
:11:23. > :11:30.there are questions being asked about the manner of his death and
:11:30. > :11:34.the long delay before his burial. But in Libya few are concerned or
:11:35. > :11:41.sympathetic. This is the freezing compartment where for four days
:11:41. > :11:45.Colonel Gaddafi's body had been on display, lying on this piece of
:11:45. > :11:50.Paralympic sheeting. People queuing up to see with their own eyes. Now
:11:50. > :11:54.they are gone, his body is in the ground, the spectacle is over, and
:11:54. > :11:59.Libya can start looking towards the future rather than the past.
:11:59. > :12:03.In Tripoli, as elsewhere, the euphoria of the past few days has
:12:03. > :12:08.given way to a more measured, practical mood. Life must now
:12:08. > :12:11.return to normality. A line has been drawn, in laying to rest the
:12:11. > :12:15.body of Colonel Gaddafi Libya hopes to exorcise the ghosts of the past
:12:15. > :12:21.four decades and to turn now to the hard work of building a brighter
:12:21. > :12:24.future. Activists who set up tents outside
:12:24. > :12:26.St Paul's Cathedral more than a week ago have insisted their
:12:26. > :12:29.protest is serious, despite accusations that most of them are
:12:29. > :12:32.leaving the site every night. The cathedral decided to close its
:12:32. > :12:42.doors to the public on Saturday because of the growing Occupy
:12:42. > :12:42.
:12:42. > :12:47.London camp outside. From St Paul's, Jon Brain reports. It is a protest
:12:47. > :12:54.that's closed the doors of one of the country's most famous buildings.
:12:54. > :12:59.A call to arms for a fairer society that continues around the clock. Or
:12:59. > :13:02.does it? These thermal images of the site appear to indicate that at
:13:02. > :13:08.12.30 this morning the vast majority of the tents pitched
:13:08. > :13:14.outside St Paul's were empty. Protesters say that's nonsense.
:13:14. > :13:21.There's a lot of dispute About whether these thermal images are
:13:21. > :13:24.real or whether it is an app on a journalist's iPhone. It is scraping
:13:24. > :13:27.the barrel. Adam did stay last night. He says just because not
:13:27. > :13:32.everyone was this their tents doesn't mean they weren't here.
:13:32. > :13:36.night there's a crew of 30 to 40 people working, just doing
:13:36. > :13:43.sanitation, night watch, kitchen. Some people might not be in their
:13:43. > :13:48.tents at 12. 30 but they are here on site. Rebecca slept here last
:13:48. > :13:52.night as well but tonight she'll be enjoying home comforts. I have to
:13:52. > :13:56.have a shower. Did you not think it give as misleading impression,
:13:56. > :14:00.because people assume you are here every night? I still support it
:14:00. > :14:05.even when I'm at home. You don't have to be here to support it. It
:14:05. > :14:08.is going on 24 hours. Whether these tents are occupied during the night
:14:08. > :14:14.the net result is the same. While they are here the Cathedral remains
:14:14. > :14:17.closed to the general public. It is farcical that part-time
:14:17. > :14:22.protesters are being allowed to bring part of the economy in the
:14:22. > :14:27.City of London to a grinding halt. Shops in that area are being put
:14:27. > :14:32.out of business. Tourists can't visit St Paul's any more. We should
:14:32. > :14:35.not let these people stop people in their tracks. The protesters say
:14:35. > :14:41.they are here to stay and it is their cause that's important, not
:14:41. > :14:44.the details of their sleeping Our top story tonight: David

:15:22. > :15:25.most deprived parts of the country during the economic downturn.
:15:25. > :15:28.Speaking to the BBC today during a visit to Burnley in Lancashire, he
:15:28. > :15:33.said he will do what he can to boost regeneration in some of
:15:33. > :15:37.England's most deprived towns. Burnley in its heyday was one of
:15:37. > :15:40.the world's largest centres of cotton weaving. But the town has
:15:40. > :15:45.been in decline for decades and is now the 12th most deprived district
:15:45. > :15:50.in England. Mark Easton has been to find out what help and support the
:15:50. > :15:54.Prince can offer. No one could accuse Prince Charles
:15:54. > :15:58.of choosing an easy place to try to turn around. Burnley were
:15:58. > :16:03.struggling even in the boom years, with thousands moving away to look
:16:03. > :16:08.for work. Streets now boarded up, windows and doors decorated to
:16:08. > :16:13.disguise the desolation. The heir to the throne for today show and
:16:13. > :16:17.the inevitable supermarket trolley, dredged from the old mill town's
:16:17. > :16:22.can now. This is the Prince's fourth visit to Burnley in six
:16:22. > :16:26.years. When he first came in 2005, he was so shocked at the social
:16:26. > :16:30.deprivation that he effectively decided to adopt the town. 12 of
:16:30. > :16:34.his charities are now working in Burnley together, a model the
:16:34. > :16:38.Prince believes could be used across the country. I realise
:16:38. > :16:44.people are suffering a terribly difficult time and some of us are
:16:44. > :16:49.trying to do something and a point of what we are trying to do here is
:16:49. > :16:54.to see how to tackle many of the issues that have led to sometimes a
:16:54. > :16:59.sense of hopelessness and despair. It is a sense that is commonplace
:16:59. > :17:03.in Burnley, even among some of the young people at a club set up by
:17:03. > :17:07.the Prince's business in the Community charity. It will be a big
:17:07. > :17:10.challenge to turn it around. It is getting the people who do not want
:17:10. > :17:15.to do good for themselves to get them to places like this and to get
:17:15. > :17:21.them motivated for work. 19-year- old Sam Effah is an example of what
:17:21. > :17:26.is possible. After leaving school, he was homeless, unemployed and
:17:26. > :17:30.unemployable. With the help of the Prince's Trust, he is a trained boy
:17:30. > :17:35.in Engineer and today he shook hands with the future king --
:17:35. > :17:40.boiler engineer. Confidence, that is what it did for me. Showed that
:17:40. > :17:45.there is light at the end of the tunnel. That mixture of business,
:17:45. > :17:50.charity, local entrepreneurs, some people call it the "big society",
:17:50. > :17:54.but do you think that is the way to get communities...? I have been
:17:54. > :17:57.trying to do this for every 30 years. It is the most powerful way
:17:58. > :18:03.I think of ensuring you get something that is more lasting and
:18:03. > :18:13.sustainable. This felt making workshop, another charity
:18:13. > :18:13.
:18:13. > :18:18.initiative, echoes the mills of its cotton heyday. A lot of it is self-
:18:18. > :18:23.confidence. Been proud of your place. The that is the point. You
:18:23. > :18:29.can use the existing identity of a place to build that confidence and
:18:29. > :18:33.hope. There is optimism in the Prince's tone, not merit in the
:18:33. > :18:37.mood of many residents. If such confidence is to be restored, there
:18:37. > :18:41.is much work to do yet. Tributes have been paid to the
:18:41. > :18:45.policeman who was killed yesterday afternoon on the M1 as he tried to
:18:45. > :18:52.help a woman whose car had broken down. 41-year-old PC Mark Goodlad
:18:52. > :18:55.was run over on the motorway near Wakefield in West Yorkshire. A
:18:55. > :18:57.lorry driver has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by
:18:57. > :19:01.dangerous driving. A police 999 operator working in
:19:01. > :19:04.Bow in east London has been sacked for mishandling more than 140 calls.
:19:04. > :19:07.The police watchdog found the operator took the wrong action over

:19:49. > :19:53.It really has. Getting at the gold would involve extracting hundreds
:19:53. > :19:58.of thousands of tons of rock from deep within the mountainside. You
:19:58. > :20:03.might still be able to see behind me. Opponents say all the rockwork

:20:33. > :20:39.This area runs at about 30 grammes per tonne, that is an ounce of gold
:20:39. > :20:44.in a ton of rocks. That is quite a lot? It is. There was another
:20:44. > :20:48.attempt to mine here in the 1990s. You can still see the old railway
:20:48. > :20:51.lines and the wagons that would have been used to transport it in

:20:56. > :21:01.price of gold slumped. But that has all changed. This deposit could be
:21:01. > :21:06.worth up to �200 million. Many locals believe the economic
:21:06. > :21:12.benefits could lie closer to home. With the 50 jobs the mine could
:21:12. > :21:17.bring. We have to survive here and run businesses. People have to have
:21:17. > :21:22.jobs. This will in effect provide work of a more skilled nature and
:21:22. > :21:26.more highly paid. Scottish gold is valuable and prized by jewellers.
:21:26. > :21:30.In the past, small amounts have been panned by prospectors but it
:21:30. > :21:35.is rare and this new deposit is likely to attract a premium. We get
:21:35. > :21:39.interest from people who live here, who never knew there was Scottish
:21:39. > :21:43.gold and it is something wonderful and a piece of their heritage to
:21:43. > :21:47.have a piece of Scottish gold. It is something to take away as
:21:47. > :21:51.something quite special. There are many conditions attached to this
:21:51. > :21:55.mining operation which will be in a sensitive area of the national park
:21:55. > :22:00.but the developers promise the landscape will be restored once the
:22:00. > :22:03.precious minerals have been extracted, in this, the first
:22:03. > :22:11.commercial gold mine in Scotland in 500 years.
:22:11. > :22:14.And this of course is an industrial process so there will be blasting
:22:14. > :22:19.taking place deep within the mountains, so safety will be of
:22:19. > :22:22.utmost importance. It is not thought that the mining itself will
:22:22. > :22:25.get under way for about another year.
:22:25. > :22:28.This time last year, we reported on the challenge facing local councils
:22:28. > :22:31.as they prepared to make big spending cuts. Now councils are
:22:31. > :22:35.once again deciding what to save, as they try to balance reduced

:23:47. > :23:53.city. At least half some the council. This year, it has had to
