:02:33. > :02:37.while his party would celebrate the decision to say no to Europe, his
:02:37. > :02:41.coalition partners would not. When the Prime Minister got to his feet,
:02:41. > :02:45.the cheers from his MPs were predictable. I went to Brussels
:02:45. > :02:49.with one objective, to protect Britain's national interest, and
:02:49. > :02:54.that is what I did. To the delight of his backbenchers, the Prime
:02:54. > :02:58.Minister defended his decision. choice was a treaty without proper
:02:58. > :03:03.safeguards, or no treaty, and the right answer was no treaty. It was
:03:03. > :03:07.not an easy thing to do but it was the right thing to do. Last week,
:03:07. > :03:14.Britain stood alone as Mr Cameron refused to back plans for a new
:03:14. > :03:18.treaty of all 27 EU countries. He said the deal was not in Britain's

:03:23. > :03:32.European regulations and taxes. Mr Clegg said it was bad for Britain,

:03:44. > :03:48.can't persuade his own deputy? Faced with a choice between the
:03:48. > :03:52.national interest and his party interest, he has chosen the party
:03:52. > :03:57.interest. We will rue the day this Prime Minister left Britain alone,
:03:57. > :04:03.without allies, without influence. It is bad for business, it is bad
:04:03. > :04:07.for jobs, it is bad for Britain. Last week, some Tory MPs were
:04:07. > :04:11.questioning their leader's judgment. Today, they were jubilant. I thank

:04:29. > :04:34.doing the right thing for Britain last week? Others were less
:04:34. > :04:40.enthusiastic? He has walked out without using his veto, without
:04:40. > :04:43.getting a rebate, like Mrs Thatcher did. He has walked out without a
:04:43. > :04:48.couple of opt-outs like John Major. As Del Boy would say, what a
:04:48. > :04:52.plonker. Although MPs were mostly restrained, some asked if
:04:53. > :04:55.constructive diplomacy might be better. Would the Prime Minister
:04:55. > :04:59.reflect whether that kind of constructive and positive diplomacy
:04:59. > :05:04.might be a better approach to securing British interests, than
:05:04. > :05:08.rushing for the exit? The Lib Dem leader once again made his
:05:08. > :05:12.disagreement clear, outside the Commons. Being isolated, as one, is
:05:13. > :05:18.potentially bad for jobs, bad for growth, bad for the light beards of
:05:18. > :05:21.millions of people in this country, but the coalition is here to stay -
:05:21. > :05:25.- bad for the livelihoods of millions of people. There is not
:05:25. > :05:29.much good cheer about among the coalition partners.
:05:29. > :05:33.As we have heard, the Prime Minister justified his action by
:05:33. > :05:37.saying he was protecting British interests, especially the financial
:05:37. > :05:45.sector which employs more than 1 million people. What do City and

:06:04. > :06:09.Cameron's stance, or are they long- term losses because UK influence is
:06:09. > :06:13.reduced? The Prime Minister said he wanted to safeguard the City of
:06:13. > :06:18.London from further European regulations. He couldn't get firm
:06:18. > :06:27.commitment Sony wouldn't sign the treaty. Some say he was right. --
:06:27. > :06:31.couldn't get firm commitments so he wouldn't. David Cameron had to do
:06:31. > :06:35.the best he could to try to protect British financial services from a
:06:35. > :06:39.slew of regulations, of which he would have had very little control
:06:39. > :06:42.inside the treaty. There was a warning from a senior European
:06:42. > :06:48.official that the City of London was not immune from further
:06:48. > :06:52.restrictions, even under the existing rule book. If this rule
:06:52. > :06:57.was at -- intended to prevent bankers from being regulated, that
:06:57. > :07:01.is not going to happen. It is a crucial issue, because financial
:07:01. > :07:07.services makes up 9% of the UK first past the post economic output,
:07:07. > :07:11.not far short of manufacturing, with just over 10% of the economy.
:07:11. > :07:16.When it comes to implement, financial services lags well behind
:07:16. > :07:19.manufacturing, with 2.3 million -- when it comes to employment. There
:07:19. > :07:23.is no doubting the importance of financial services, but there are
:07:23. > :07:27.many other sectors across the UK economy, some with different
:07:27. > :07:31.perspectives, including longer term views on whether their best

:07:51. > :07:57.Martin Sorrell, who runs a global media business, told the BBC that

:08:01. > :08:05.this morning about where would he locate his plant, given what has
:08:06. > :08:09.happened in the last 72 hours. The perception will be that the UK is
:08:09. > :08:14.outside western Europe. Looking into the future, the really big
:08:14. > :08:20.concern is the possible break-up of the euro, and fears about that sent
:08:20. > :08:25.share prices lower today. Let's delve a little deeper into
:08:25. > :08:29.that extraordinary session in Parliament. Nick Clegg was
:08:29. > :08:33.conspicuous by his absence today in Parliament. What does it say about
:08:33. > :08:38.the state of the coalition? I don't think I have attended a prime
:08:38. > :08:43.minister Oriel -- prime-ministerial statement quite like it, utterly

:08:46. > :08:51.thought he might not be a -- thought he might be a distraction
:08:51. > :08:56.but he was a distraction by not being there. Labour MPs shouted it
:08:56. > :09:00.again and again, Where's Nick? Although he would not -- was not
:09:00. > :09:05.there, he had clearly helped to write the words of the Prime
:09:05. > :09:10.Minister. Designed to hear some of the coalition wins. While the Tory
:09:11. > :09:15.MPs cheered him on -- designed to heal. The Tory MPs were utterly
:09:15. > :09:19.silent when they said the EU was in Britain's interest and he wanted to
:09:19. > :09:24.stay in. Silence again when it became clear there was no question
:09:24. > :09:34.of a European referendum. Silent when it became clear that the
:09:34. > :09:38.institutions of the EU could, after all, perhaps be involved in this
:09:38. > :09:42.new European club of 26. Exactly the opposite of what we were told a
:09:42. > :09:45.day ago by the Chancellor. The Prime Minister can have a sigh of
:09:45. > :09:50.relief tonight, he has no major rebellion on his backbenchers, none
:09:50. > :09:54.at all, in fact. He is not fighting to get his legislation through all
:09:54. > :10:00.worrying about a referendum. But he has to worry about the long-term
:10:00. > :10:04.corrosive damage of a row with the man who is his deputy.
:10:04. > :10:09.A murder inquiry has begun in West Yorkshire after the bodies of a

:12:09. > :12:14.allegation that messages left on the phone of the murdered
:12:14. > :12:18.schoolgirl, Milly Dowler, were deleted by someone working for the
:12:18. > :12:21.News of the World. A police lawyer told the Everson inquiry into press
:12:21. > :12:25.standards that the paper may not have been responsible after all --

:12:29. > :12:34.public revulsion, placed the press under intense scrutiny and brought
:12:34. > :12:37.the News of the World's presses to a halt. It was the claim by the
:12:37. > :12:41.Guardian last July that the News of the World has hacked into the phone
:12:41. > :12:46.off the missing schoolgirl, Milly Dowler, and that the paper had

:13:02. > :13:08.voicemail, and I heard her voice. I jumped, she had picked up her
:13:08. > :13:14.voicemail. It was then, really. News of the World investigator,
:13:14. > :13:17.Glenn Mulcaire, has always denied deleting the messages and the
:13:17. > :13:22.inquiry in hurt -- heard that the Metropolitan Police had evidence to
:13:22. > :13:29.support that. It was unlikely that anything Mr Mulcaire did was
:13:29. > :13:33.responsible for what Mrs Dowler heard. The News of the World did
:13:33. > :13:36.hack into Milly Dowler's phone, that is not contested, but it seems
:13:37. > :13:41.that Mulcaire did not delete messages. As counsel for the
:13:41. > :13:46.Dowlers pointed out, over three days after her abduction, and

:22:23. > :22:29.completely ruin the atmosphere and destroy the pleasure of the viewers.
:22:29. > :22:32.It is not a false it. We do not keep it secret, either.

:22:42. > :22:53.
:22:53. > :22:58.but still has praise for the show. The opinions are split amongst
:22:58. > :23:02.viewers. I was not really misled, I thought it was fine. I was more
:23:02. > :23:09.interested in what was happening, then where it was filmed. Now, when
:23:09. > :23:13.I found out, yes, I was misled, but I do not really mind. The BBC also
:23:13. > :23:17.says it explained exactly how the sequence was filmed in a special
:23:17. > :23:22.film on the website. That film has been viewed tens of thousands of
:23:22. > :23:26.times. The programme itself had an audience in excess of 8 million,
:23:26. > :23:30.and some critics will continue to accuse the BBC of failing to learn
:23:30. > :23:39.from mistakes of the past, despite its robust defence of how it made
:23:39. > :23:42.It's the start of a week of stormy weather across the UK. Gale-force
:23:42. > :23:44.winds and torrential rain are expected to sweep through swathes
:23:44. > :23:46.of England and Wales tonight. South-east England could be
:23:46. > :23:53.hardest-hit. Our correspondent Robert Hall is in Mudeford in
:23:53. > :23:58.Dorset. But a terrible forecast - what precautions are people being
:23:58. > :24:02.advised to take? Yes, tonight is really just the start of it, it is
:24:02. > :24:05.going to be a pretty miserable week. Mudeford is in the path of the
:24:05. > :24:10.storm, which has been coming up the Channel this afternoon, bringing
:24:10. > :24:14.gusts of wind up to 70mph and driving rain. So far it has not
:24:14. > :24:18.been as bad as that which Scotland experienced last week. But there
:24:18. > :24:25.have been plenty of weather warnings, and flood barriers have
:24:25. > :24:30.been raised on the rivers. As yet, the flood alerts extend right along
:24:30. > :24:35.the south coast, up the coast of Wales, NW England and on into
:24:35. > :24:38.Scotland. It is likely this will blow itself out, but there is a
:24:38. > :24:42.worse storm due on Thursday night. The message I am hearing tonight is
:24:42. > :24:50.that people should be aware of his weather and be prepared for
:24:50. > :24:53.unexpected dangers. While we have been on air, Jonny Wilkinson has
:24:53. > :24:58.announced his retirement from international rugby. He first
:24:58. > :25:04.played for England when he was 18. The 32-year-old is currently
:25:04. > :25:07.playing in France. They flew in from China last week and have been
:25:07. > :25:10.settling into their new surroundings. Today Edinburgh Zoo's
:25:10. > :25:13.newest arrivals were supposed to be on show for the cameras. But the
:25:13. > :25:20.pandas Tian Tian and Yang Guang are taking a very different approach to
:25:20. > :25:28.their new fame. Lorna Gordon was lucky enough to be there. He's one
:25:28. > :25:34.half of what is hoped will become a very famous pairing. This is Yang
:25:34. > :25:41.Guang walking around his new home. Tian Tian was a bit more shy,
:25:41. > :25:46.apparently taking a nap. They're settling in fantastically well,
:25:46. > :25:51.straight for the bamboo, straight into the den. The female is a bit
:25:51. > :25:55.more quiet and shy, but she has settled in very nicely. She has got
:25:55. > :26:01.her favourite sleeping areas. can see each other through a small
:26:01. > :26:04.opening, they have been calling out, and we're told, touching. But they
:26:04. > :26:12.are solitary creatures, and will only come into close contact to
:26:12. > :26:16.mate. The elusive Tian Tian will only come into season for a couple
:26:16. > :26:23.of days a year. What they really like is a sleeping and eating. That
:26:23. > :26:28.has meant bamboo, and lots of it. Yang Guang has been eating about 30
:26:28. > :26:34.kilos of the stuff every day. It costs �70,000 a year for food,
:26:35. > :26:39.�600,000 the year for the loan of the pandas. But they hope that it
:26:39. > :26:45.will pull in the punters. It is a lot smaller than I expected, but it
:26:45. > :26:48.is nice to see them. We actually skipped school today to come and
:26:48. > :26:58.see them. He's so began cuddly looking, but you know that he could
:26:58. > :27:02.repeal part. Everything is being done to keep these giant pandas
:27:02. > :27:12.happy. Visitors will be able to see them from Friday. It is hoped that
:27:12. > :27:12.
:27:12. > :27:18.if all goes well, cubs will follow next year. What is the weather
:27:18. > :27:21.forecast, Alex? Yes, we have got that vicious weather coming our way.
:27:21. > :27:26.More stormy conditions coming up later in the week, as well as
:27:26. > :27:29.later in the week, as well as tonight. It has already arrived in
:27:29. > :27:33.parts of the south coast. You can see this big massive Stanley and
:27:33. > :27:43.swamping the country. Heavy rain, accompanied by the strengthening
:27:43. > :27:44.
:27:44. > :27:50.wind. It is not very pleasant out on the roads. Following on behind
:27:50. > :27:54.that, it could be icy. There will be further snow flurries coming in.
:27:54. > :28:00.It is going to be feeling cold on Tuesday, it will be a very blustery
:28:00. > :28:04.day. After that, there will be a bit of sunshine, but lots of
:28:04. > :28:07.showers. They will be providing snow across parts of Scotland and
:28:07. > :28:14.Northern Ireland and northern England. There will be some wintry
:28:14. > :28:18.showers even across parts of England and Wales. It is going to
:28:18. > :28:28.feel cold because of the strength of the wind, which could pick up
:28:28. > :28:32.
:28:33. > :28:36.further tomorrow evening across the This will be accompanied by another
:28:36. > :28:42.band of wet weather, which could bring more snow in some places. By
:28:42. > :28:47.Wednesday, the winds start to he's a bit. Some of the showers will be
:28:47. > :28:51.wintry again. Perhaps it will be coming down a touch on Wednesday,
