:00:29. > :00:33.I promote and defend that? Also on tonight's programme:

:00:37. > :00:44.alcoholic liver disease. After blocks of concrete are thrown

:00:44. > :00:48.from this bridge onto cars below, a woman is seriously injured. It is

:00:48. > :00:52.as far as I am concerned attempted murder. You throw a large piece of

:00:52. > :00:57.concrete off a road bridge on to a fast-moving road - the consequences

:00:57. > :01:05.are you're likely to kill someone. Now warming temperatures have meant

:01:05. > :01:15.less sea ice. A new warning on the impact of

:01:39. > :01:43.cliej on the -- climate change on Good evening. Welcome to the BBC

:01:43. > :01:46.News at 6.00pm. The Prime Minister has promised to protect Britain's

:01:46. > :01:48.interests as the German Chancellor unveiled her plan to rewrite the EU

:01:48. > :01:52.treaty and impose greater central control over tax and spending

:01:52. > :01:55.across the Eurozone. Angela Merkel said it was the best way to force

:01:55. > :01:58.countries that use the Euro to stick within their budgets and that

:01:58. > :02:01.there should be sanctions for those that don't. David Cameron went to

:02:01. > :02:04.Paris today to hold talks with President Sarkozy ahead of a summit

:02:04. > :02:12.next week to try again to find a solution to the European debt

:02:12. > :02:16.crisis. Christian Fraser reports from Paris.

:02:16. > :02:23.It's tempting to see the crisis in Europe as distant, unrelated to the

:02:23. > :02:26.problems in Britain, but the pound and the euro are so closely

:02:26. > :02:30.entwined the collapse would be devastating for the British economy.

:02:30. > :02:35.So today, the Prime Minister arrived in Paris to hear what

:02:35. > :02:39.measures are now being proposed to solve the problem.

:02:39. > :02:42.We want to help resolve the crisis in the eurozone. In the end, what

:02:42. > :02:46.that is about is convincing the markets that the institutions of

:02:46. > :02:51.the euro will defend and protect and promote that currency with

:02:51. > :02:56.everything they've got, the so- called big bazooka approach. What

:02:56. > :02:59.might that be? Eurozone countries are agreed they need new powers to

:02:59. > :03:03.impose financial discipline. That could require a change to the

:03:03. > :03:08.Lisbon Treaty, the rules which govern the EU. It would mean tough

:03:08. > :03:11.new sanctions to enforce the new controls on spendthrift governments,

:03:11. > :03:14.and with tighter regulation of government budgets, the door could

:03:14. > :03:22.open to a more active approach from the European Central Bank.

:03:22. > :03:25.For David Cameron, though, opening up the Lisbon Treaty could prove

:03:25. > :03:29.problematic. He's repeatedly pledged he'd use any changes to

:03:29. > :03:34.claw back powers from Brussels. Yet if he pushes too hard, the eurozone

:03:34. > :03:39.could move towards a new separate treaty defining a two-speed Europe

:03:39. > :03:42.in which Britain's influence might well diminish. Nonetheless, there

:03:42. > :03:45.are limits. If there is treaty change, I'll make sure we further

:03:45. > :03:48.protect and enhance Britain's interests. So we'll see what

:03:48. > :03:53.happens next Friday, but I'm absolutely convinced the bottom

:03:53. > :03:58.line for me is always what is in the interests of the UK. In Germany

:03:58. > :04:02.today, Angela Merkel was laying out her terms, a fiscal union in which

:04:02. > :04:06.a Budget Commissioner in Brussels would have powers to impose heavy

:04:06. > :04:11.penalties on governments which run up unmanageable debt. She's ruled

:04:11. > :04:15.out the ECB involvement favoured by Britain and France until all

:04:15. > :04:19.eurozone governments are playing by the same legally binding rules.

:04:19. > :04:25.TRANSLATION: There are no easy and fast solutions, no last push. That

:04:25. > :04:32.is not my way of thinking. The resolution of the euro crisis is a

:04:32. > :04:35.process, and the process will take years. But like the money, time is

:04:35. > :04:40.in very short supply. The German Chancellor will be the

:04:40. > :04:45.first to arrive on Monday before a crucial European summit in Brussels

:04:45. > :04:49.Friday. At the very least nay must find by then a coherent longer term

:04:49. > :04:53.solution to the crisis. The single currency depends on it and so does

:04:53. > :04:59.Britain's economy. Our Europe Editor Gavin Hewitt is

:04:59. > :05:03.with me here. First of all this suggestion by Angela Merkel to

:05:03. > :05:07.rewrite the EU treaty - how likely is that to happen? I probably think

:05:07. > :05:10.it will happen. Why? Because both France and Germany want it. In

:05:10. > :05:14.particular, France cease it as essential in order to impose

:05:14. > :05:17.automatic sanctions on those countries that break the rules, but

:05:17. > :05:23.let's be clear. There is a lot about this treaty change we don't

:05:23. > :05:25.know. How limited would it be or how significant would it be? If it

:05:25. > :05:30.was significant that could trigger referenda in a lot of countries. Of

:05:30. > :05:33.course, all of that takes time. Also, who will impose these

:05:33. > :05:38.sanctions? Brussels or some other body? I think the big question

:05:38. > :05:41.hanging over all of this is, how much time will it take? And from

:05:41. > :05:44.Britain's perspective, what are the implications? I think let's be

:05:44. > :05:48.clear - David Cameron doesn't want treaty change. He does not believe

:05:48. > :05:53.it is necessary. His position at the moment is to wait and see.

:05:53. > :05:57.Britain doesn't want to show its hand until these proposals have

:05:57. > :06:03.hardened up, but if treaty change is significant and British support

:06:03. > :06:07.is needed, one thing is certain - a number of Tory backbenchers will

:06:07. > :06:10.see this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get back powers from

:06:10. > :06:15.Brussels, and David Cameron will be under pressure from Europe and

:06:15. > :06:18.under pressure at home. Britain is facing an epidemic of

:06:18. > :06:28.liver disease caused by binge drinking according to some of the

:06:28. > :06:38.

:06:38. > :06:40.In the north-east there's been a 400% increase in the number of

:06:40. > :06:43.people in their early 30s admitted to hospital with alcoholic liver

:06:43. > :06:45.disease. The consultants have called for alcohol advertising to

:06:45. > :06:47.be curbed to protect young people. Our medical correspondent Fergus

:06:47. > :06:57.Walsh is here. Fergus, it sounds pretty worrying.

:06:57. > :07:01.

:07:01. > :07:06.It used to be rare for people under the age of 50 with alcoholic liver

:07:06. > :07:08.cirrhosis. But that's all changed. If we compare the number of people

:07:09. > :07:11.in their late 20s admitted to hospital in England with alcoholic

:07:12. > :07:15.liver disease back in 2002 with last year, it's increased by 70%.

:07:15. > :07:19.Now, if we look at people in their early 30s, there's a similar

:07:19. > :07:23.worrying upward trend. The increase there - 60% in a decade.

:07:23. > :07:27.Joanne needs dozens of pills a week to stay alive, the result of years

:07:27. > :07:32.of alcohol abuse. The 41-year-old from Sunderland used to drink at

:07:32. > :07:37.least three bottles of wine a day. Her liver is so damaged, she may

:07:37. > :07:43.need a transplant. I do think it was because I started drinking too

:07:43. > :07:47.young, and you get a taste for it. What more - what can you do? You

:07:47. > :07:53.take yourself to the next level. Adults in Britain drink double the

:07:53. > :07:56.amount of alcohol they did in the 1950s, but in recent years, overall

:07:56. > :08:00.alcohol consumption has been falling. A group of liver

:08:00. > :08:05.specialists in the north-east is concerned with binge drinking among

:08:05. > :08:11.the young and has called for restrictions on alcohol advertising.

:08:11. > :08:13.We've seen this epidemic of alcoholic liver disease and

:08:13. > :08:17.hospital admissions as a result in very young people in their very

:08:17. > :08:26.early 30s and in their 20s, and this is all because alcohol is far

:08:26. > :08:29.too cheap, far too available and far too heavily promoted.

:08:29. > :08:32.drinks industry says there are already strict controls on

:08:32. > :08:36.advertising and it's the minority that abuse alcohol, but when they

:08:36. > :08:40.do, it increases the risk of not just liver disease, but cancer,

:08:40. > :08:44.stroke a range of conditions. This graph shows the rising trend in

:08:44. > :08:49.deaths from alcohol in Britain since early '90s. You can see there

:08:49. > :08:53.was a slight fall recently which might be due to falling consumption,

:08:53. > :09:03.but today's figures are worrying signs of what may happen to the

:09:03. > :09:05.

:09:05. > :09:08.next generation of drinkers. Police in Essex are treating two

:09:09. > :09:12.incidents in which concrete blocks were dropped on to cars on the A12

:09:12. > :09:14.as attempted murder. A woman was badly injured in one when a block

:09:14. > :09:17.smashed through her windscreen. The driver also suffered cuts. Jon

:09:18. > :09:20.Brain is at the scene for us now. Jon, this was an incredibly

:09:20. > :09:25.dangerous thing to have done. That's certainly the way the police

:09:26. > :09:32.are looking at it. It's still closed off this evening as police

:09:32. > :09:36.continue their investigations into chapped last night. As -- what

:09:36. > :09:39.happened last night. This is the scene of attempted murder. Police

:09:39. > :09:43.have spent the day on this small bridge near Chelmsford

:09:43. > :09:47.investigating a crime which nearly cost a woman her life. It was

:09:47. > :09:54.around 10.00pm last night when a concrete block was thrown from here

:09:54. > :09:58.on to a car passing below. It went through the windscreen, and the 57-

:09:58. > :10:02.year-old passenger suffered extensive head and chest injuries.

:10:02. > :10:06.Her husband, who was driving, has been treated for cuts. Despicable

:10:06. > :10:13.acts, mindless acts. This seriously injured a woman and injured a man

:10:13. > :10:18.at the same time. This could quite easily have led into a multiple-

:10:18. > :10:21.casualty scenario. Just half an hour earlier and ten miles away at

:10:21. > :10:27.another bridge, another concrete block had been thrown on to a

:10:27. > :10:31.passing vehicle on the Group A, though this time -- A12, though

:10:31. > :10:39.this time the occupants escaped unharmed. Because of the locations

:10:39. > :10:42.and time frames of these incidents, they have been treated as acts of

:10:42. > :10:46.attempted murder. I would like to appeal to anyone who was involved

:10:46. > :10:53.last night - they may be considered as guilty as the person who threw

:10:53. > :10:57.it over the A12. Users of the A12 are angry and concerned. Absolutely

:10:57. > :11:01.terrible. A concrete block might kill somebody. For something like

:11:01. > :11:08.that to happen, to be fair, is unexpected. My heart goes out to

:11:08. > :11:12.the family. It's not a road we enjoy going down anyway. We'd avoid

:11:12. > :11:17.it now. Essex Police say extra patrols will be on tonight to try

:11:17. > :11:22.to reassure drivers. Detectives say there have been 30 cases of objects

:11:22. > :11:25.being thrown on to the A12 in recent years, but last night's was

:11:25. > :11:28.by far the most serious. Thank you.

:11:28. > :11:30.The organisation which monitors standards at care homes in England

:11:30. > :11:33.has been accused of several failures, including not carrying

:11:33. > :11:34.out enough inspections. The National Audit Office says the Care

:11:34. > :11:37.Quality Commission is facing ''serious and considerable

:11:37. > :11:39.difficulties''. The Commission's Chief Executive Cynthia Bower

:11:39. > :11:49.admitted the commission had faced "a challenging period", but said

:11:49. > :11:50.

:11:50. > :11:55.it's now "on track and making rapid progress".

:11:56. > :11:59.The Office of Fair Trading has launched an investigation into

:11:59. > :12:05.Groupon after it broke regulations several times in under a year. The

:12:05. > :12:11.group has hundreds of thousands of consumers in Britain to whom it

:12:11. > :12:18.offers cut price discounts. They say the amount of money consumers

:12:18. > :12:23.can save has been exaggerated. A university lecturer who admitted

:12:23. > :12:28.possessing Class A drugs at a school where a girl died has been

:12:28. > :12:32.suspended. The 15-year-old died in April after taking ecstasy at a

:12:32. > :12:37.party at his home. The British ambassador to Iran has

:12:37. > :12:45.spoken for the first time about the moment the embassy compounds were

:12:45. > :12:48.overrun by protesters. The attacks Tuesday caused diplomatic outrage

:12:48. > :12:54.with Britain expelling Iranian diplomats in London. Today the last

:12:54. > :12:56.of those diplomats left the UK. These are pictures from the

:12:56. > :13:01.ambassador's camera. Dominique Chilcot took them after protesters

:13:01. > :13:09.overran his embassy. They looted homes, stole hard drives and went

:13:09. > :13:15.to work on a few British symbols. Queen Victoria's portrait barely

:13:15. > :13:18.survives. Edward VII is defaced. The ambassador and his core staff

:13:18. > :13:21.locked themselves into a safe room. You could hear them trying to smash

:13:21. > :13:25.the windows and the doors down below, but they couldn't get into

:13:25. > :13:29.our part of the building, exempt in one point where they got into one

:13:29. > :13:33.of the consular offices and started a fire. In the end, it was the fire

:13:33. > :13:38.and the smoke coming on to the third floor corridor which forced

:13:38. > :13:42.us out. This is what they had to hide from.

:13:42. > :13:46.The police didn't stop the protesters. Britain believes that

:13:46. > :13:52.they were strongly supported by the Iranian state. Eventually, the

:13:52. > :13:57.ambassador and his core staff made it to safety, but his non-essential

:13:57. > :14:01.staff who were hiding in a separate residential compound, were in real

:14:01. > :14:06.trouble. One colleague had locked himself properly in his keep. He'd

:14:06. > :14:10.pressed a heavy safe against the iron door and a bed and braced

:14:10. > :14:13.himself against the bed. They came for him because they knew he was

:14:13. > :14:20.there. You can imagine what it was like. They were banging on the

:14:20. > :14:24.doors and the windows, breaking the windows, bashed the door in. He

:14:24. > :14:29.kept them out for 45 minutes, but in the end there was nothing he

:14:29. > :14:34.could do. In the end he got out. All British diplomats left Tehran

:14:34. > :14:39.the next morning, and today Iran's diplomats in London were expelled.

:14:39. > :14:43.Iran's diplomats are leaving in a hurry. Iran has called the decision

:14:43. > :14:47.to close the embassy a hasty one. It's promised when the diplomats

:14:47. > :14:51.get back to Tehran, they'll be treated as heroes. They're already

:14:51. > :14:56.on their way. This afternoon we filmed the diplomats and their

:14:56. > :15:00.families at Heathrow. Their tickets to Tehran were one way.

:15:00. > :15:03.And the time is a quarter past 6.00pm. Our top story tonight:

:15:03. > :15:07.David Cameron meets the French President to discuss the eurozone

:15:08. > :15:17.crisis and vows to defend Britain's interests. Coming up:

:16:46. > :16:50.breaks away from green land. This does happen naturally. But the

:17:03. > :17:08.it was the speed of change that was most striking and worrying. This is

:17:08. > :17:15.extremely swift. It is happening within our lifetime. We have seen

:17:15. > :17:21.it happening. In geological terms, biological, ecological, it is

:17:21. > :17:26.usually swift. To adapt, you can adapt to slow change, but quick

:17:44. > :17:49.change. It is not beyond possibility that warming it will

:18:57. > :19:04.that distant regions that once seemed irrelevant feel much closer

:19:09. > :19:13.Frozen Planet on BBC One on Wednesday next week at 9pm.

:19:13. > :19:17.The government has won a ruling on the way that pensions are

:19:17. > :19:20.calculated for millions of public sector workers. A number of unions

:19:20. > :19:28.argued a decision about which measure of inflation is used was

:19:28. > :19:33.unlawful. Ministers say it will save the taxpayer billions.

:19:33. > :19:37.This week, between 1 and 2 million public-sector workers went on

:19:37. > :19:44.strike over changes to their pensions. Today, unions lost their

:19:44. > :19:47.key legal battle over how pensions will be increased for years to come.

:19:47. > :19:52.Pensions are uprated annually, to take account of the rising price of

:19:52. > :19:57.a basket of goods. Governments have used the Retail Prices Index

:19:57. > :20:01.measure, but in April, it switched to the consumer prices index, which

:20:01. > :20:06.it says is a more accurate reflection of the inflation we all

:20:06. > :20:11.feel. But CPI tends to be lower. That means millions of former

:20:11. > :20:18.public sector employees were not quite receive what they had

:20:18. > :20:23.expected. The CPI measure is like a percentage point lower than the RPI.

:20:23. > :20:28.I will not notice the next year, but it is the same amount every

:20:28. > :20:33.year, by pension will be eroded and eroded. That does not seem just.

:20:33. > :20:39.Take a teacher who retires on a pension of �10,000 a year. Over 20

:20:39. > :20:43.years, she will now receive almost �40,000 less. That is an enormous

:20:43. > :20:47.saving for the government and taxpayers, which will amount to �11

:20:47. > :20:52.billion a year across pensions benefits and tax credits in just

:20:52. > :20:56.four years' time. There were some sighs of relief here when the

:20:56. > :21:00.result of this case finally came. The Government was confident it

:21:00. > :21:05.would win, and in a statement, it said it welcomes the High Court

:21:05. > :21:09.acceptance of its decision to use the consumer prices index for

:21:09. > :21:14.inflation for pensions and benefits. But unions insist this legal fight

:21:14. > :21:20.is not over. We intend to appeal and push for the appeal to be heard

:21:20. > :21:23.as quickly as possible, because the case is far too important for our

:21:23. > :21:26.members, for pensioners, and for the majority of people in the

:21:26. > :21:30.country. The government wants to see an agreement on its wider

:21:30. > :21:35.reforms by the end of this year. This case still has the potential

:21:35. > :21:39.to upset those plans. The son of a pensioner murdered as

:21:39. > :21:43.he tried to stop a family car being stolen has appealed for information

:21:43. > :21:50.to catch his father's killer. James Simpson was run down by his own

:21:57. > :22:02.The murder of James Simpson has left his family broken. Today, his

:22:02. > :22:11.widow and son braved the cameras are to appeal for help in catching

:22:11. > :22:15.the killers. One day ago, I saw my father lined it on a cold table,

:22:15. > :22:18.and I have to watch my mother suffer from flashbacks of what she

:22:18. > :22:23.witnessed. If there is any information you have that would

:22:23. > :22:28.help this investigation, no matter how small or insignificant this may

:22:28. > :22:32.seem to be, please come forward. Jamie Simpson said his father had

:22:32. > :22:38.been fit and active, always ready with a smile and a joke. His

:22:38. > :22:41.parents were, he said, content with their life together. This is the

:22:41. > :22:44.black Land Rover Discovery outside the Simpson's house. Detectives

:22:44. > :22:49.think it may have been stolen to order, but when the theft went

:22:49. > :22:54.wrong, it was dumped nearby. The home lies just a short distance

:22:54. > :22:58.down this road are. Police believe the thieves may have used and 74,

:22:58. > :23:03.the main motorway between Scotland and England, as an escape route.

:23:03. > :23:07.They say the clue could lie almost anywhere in Britain. I have no

:23:07. > :23:11.doubt, because of the nature of the crime, they have confided in

:23:11. > :23:15.somebody, and I believe somebody has got information in relation to

:23:15. > :23:20.the murder that they have got from the people responsible, and I urge

:23:20. > :23:24.them to come forward. James Simpson was murdered here, protecting his

:23:24. > :23:32.property as his wife watched helplessly. Tonight, she is still

:23:32. > :23:37.too traumatised to tell the police exactly what she saw.

:23:37. > :23:47.England have just found out who they will face in Euro 2012. They

:23:47. > :23:50.

:23:50. > :23:54.will play Ukraine, Sweden and England arrived here at the Palace

:23:54. > :23:58.of Arts in Kiev, hoping to draw would provide a path to end 46

:23:58. > :24:04.years of hurt at major tournaments. They were hoping to avoid the likes

:24:04. > :24:08.of Spain and the Netherlands. They were definitely avoid their arch-

:24:08. > :24:14.rivals, Germany. An intriguing match against Ireland was possible.

:24:14. > :24:17.It depended on how the balls would fall. England were quite lucky.

:24:17. > :24:22.They are some of the stars whose talents could light of European

:24:22. > :24:27.football's showpiece event next summer. Euro 2012 will feature many

:24:27. > :24:31.of the world's best players, and we discovered who would play who.

:24:31. > :24:36.Having steered England safely through qualifying to Poland and

:24:36. > :24:40.Ukraine, Fabio Capello arrived keen to know his team's fate. He would

:24:40. > :24:43.learn which three countries England would be up against in the group

:24:43. > :24:53.stage of his last tournament in charge. The question was whether

:24:53. > :24:54.

:24:54. > :24:58.the draw would be kind. England. The last one is England. They will

:24:58. > :25:03.be pleased to have drawn one of the co-hosts, Ukraine, along with

:25:03. > :25:07.Sweden, who they beat in November. But France will provide tough

:25:07. > :25:10.opponents. All of the matches will be played across the border from

:25:10. > :25:16.the Polish base. If they can progress, this is where they will

:25:16. > :25:21.hope to be on July first, the Olympic Stadium in Kiev, where the

:25:21. > :25:25.final will take place. England now know what awaits them when they

:25:25. > :25:28.come up against the best Europe has to offer. After a shambolic World

:25:28. > :25:38.Cup last year, they have a point to prove it.

:25:38. > :25:41.It could have been a lot worse. there are no easy games in

:25:41. > :25:48.international football any more. But they were pretty fortunate here

:25:48. > :25:53.this evening. The headline news, they avoided the big guns, Spain,

:25:53. > :25:57.the favourites, and the Netherlands. They avoided Portugal and Italy. At

:25:57. > :26:01.one stage, it applied they would face the likes of Spain and Italy

:26:01. > :26:06.and the Republic of Ireland -- it looked like. Instead, they will

:26:06. > :26:10.play Ukraine, Sweden and France. If England are to do well, they do

:26:10. > :26:16.need some luck, and that started this evening. Better luck abandon

:26:16. > :26:21.will be the violent -- better luck than the Republic of Ireland, they

:26:21. > :26:29.play Italy, Croatia and Spain. All of England's matches will be over
