:00:25. > :00:32.Many North Koreans appeared overcome with emotion as the world

:00:38. > :00:42.It's great news, especially over the Christmas period and there's
:00:42. > :00:45.been people that have been laid off, so they're probably feeling sad
:00:45. > :00:50.over Christmas about losing their jobs, but now they can see a little
:00:50. > :00:53.glimmer of hope in the future. After this Indian student was shot
:00:53. > :01:02.dead on Boxing Day, police in Salford now arrest a fourth

:01:22. > :01:26.Good evening. In North Korea thousands of people have gathered
:01:26. > :01:29.for the start of two days of funeral services for Kim Jong Il,
:01:29. > :01:32.the dictator who died before Christmas. The procession, led by
:01:32. > :01:35.his son and successor Kim Jong Un, is being watched closely by the
:01:35. > :01:43.world community for any clues about the balance of power in the new
:01:43. > :01:48.regime. The BBC is not allowed into North Korea, so our world affairs
:01:48. > :01:55.editor, John Simpson, reports from neighbouring South Korea.
:01:55. > :02:01.Good one The weeping announcer, doleful music, the slow movement of
:02:01. > :02:05.Kim Jong Il's cortege, it was all intensely choreographed, with the
:02:05. > :02:10.young, completely inexperienced Kim Jong Un taking over, this is a
:02:10. > :02:16.difficult moment for the North Korean dictatorship.
:02:16. > :02:21.And since the Government demanded grief, the crowds provided it, in
:02:21. > :02:26.bucketloads. A bit of this may even be genuine, but each one of these
:02:26. > :02:31.people knows it's what's expected of them and occasionally you catch
:02:31. > :02:36.a glimpse of a soldier filming the crowd, so they don't forget. A
:02:36. > :02:41.select few talked to camera T doesn't exactly sound spontaneous.
:02:41. > :02:45.The snow is falling like tears, he says, how could the Heavens not cry
:02:45. > :02:50.cry when we have lost our General, who was a great man from the
:02:50. > :02:56.Heavens? Down here in Seoul, stuff like that
:02:56. > :03:00.just sounds absurd. But is any of the grief genuine? This is Jung
:03:00. > :03:06.Gwang-Il, he did time in a northern labour camp, then escaped to South
:03:06. > :03:09.Korea. TRANSLATION: The people we saw get more food and
:03:09. > :03:14.consumer goods, so maybe they had a reason to cry. But those in the
:03:14. > :03:18.countryside who have nothing won't be sorry he is dead. The succession
:03:18. > :03:23.has now passed peacefully to the third generation of the family
:03:23. > :03:29.business. But Kim Jong Un is so young and inexperienced he will
:03:29. > :03:37.need backup. The man walking behind him here is his uncle, who will be
:03:37. > :03:45.a key player. Still, Kim Jong Un has the right credentials.
:03:45. > :03:50.elite of North Korea know that they need him. They need a blood
:03:50. > :03:57.descendent for their legitimacy. Once they lose that, they're in
:03:57. > :04:02.trouble. But it's a worrying inheritance all the same. This year
:04:02. > :04:07.hasn't been a good one for dictators.
:04:07. > :04:11.For the latest we can talk to John in Seoul. You mentioned the
:04:11. > :04:17.succession there in your report, are there any more clues today
:04:17. > :04:25.about the nature of this new regime that's emerging? It's too early for
:04:25. > :04:30.that. We did get one little PR touch from the team that are trying
:04:30. > :04:33.to create a kind of legend, a myth about the new man, just as they
:04:33. > :04:38.created them about his father and grandfather. They said that Kim
:04:38. > :04:44.Jong Un had been - felt so sorry for all the people freezing out in
:04:44. > :04:48.the cold that he ordered hot drinks to be taken to them. Now, you and I
:04:48. > :04:53.may think that's pretty small stuff, but here you can see the direction
:04:53. > :04:56.that they want to go in, the loving kind of leader, the man who thinks
:04:56. > :05:01.about the people T won't necessarily be true, who knows
:05:01. > :05:05.whether it will be true, but that's the direction it's going to. It's
:05:05. > :05:10.just simply that these are difficult days for dictators and
:05:10. > :05:15.North Korea is the hardest, nastiest dictatorship still left
:05:15. > :05:23.affloat. Who knows whether it can swim for all that much longer.
:05:24. > :05:27.Thank you. The trainmaker Bombardier, based in
:05:27. > :05:30.Derby, has been awarded a new contract worth �188 million. But
:05:30. > :05:34.the deal to build carriages for the rail company Southern was funded,
:05:34. > :05:37.in part, by a Government subsidy worth �80 million. The Department
:05:37. > :05:43.for Transport had been criticised for rejecting Bombardier for a much
:05:43. > :05:50.bigger Thameslink contract worth �1.4 billion. From Derby, Anthony
:05:50. > :05:56.Bartram reports. Trains have been built in Derby for
:05:56. > :06:00.over a century. 2011 has been one of the toughest in Bombardier's
:06:00. > :06:05.history and fears for its future brought people out on to the city
:06:05. > :06:11.streets in their thousands to protest about the loss of 1400 jobs
:06:11. > :06:15.and a crucial Government contract to overseas competition. But new
:06:15. > :06:18.work announced today brings some consolation and security. It's
:06:18. > :06:22.great news, especially over the Christmas period and there's been
:06:22. > :06:25.people that have been laid off, so they're probably feeling sad over
:06:25. > :06:30.Christmas about losing their jobs, but now they can see a little
:06:30. > :06:34.glimmer of hope in the future. train-makers change of fortune has
:06:34. > :06:39.been welcomed, but unions say the scale of the new order has to be
:06:39. > :06:45.taken in context. Bombardier's successful contract with Southern
:06:45. > :06:50.Trains is worth �188 million. It's been subsidised by Government to
:06:50. > :06:56.the tune of �80 million. In June, the company failed to get the
:06:56. > :07:00.Thameslink contract, valued at �1.4 billion.
:07:00. > :07:04.The Department of Transport awarded it instead to Siemens of Germany.
:07:04. > :07:07.think this is a substantial contract. It will see work for the
:07:07. > :07:12.next 12-18 months take place. It's one of a number the Government will
:07:12. > :07:16.be putting out to tender over the coming years, we are putting a huge
:07:16. > :07:20.amount of investment into our railways at the moment. Today's
:07:20. > :07:24.announcement will be welcome news to Bombardier's workforce which is
:07:24. > :07:29.enjoying its Christmas break and the company says the decision was a
:07:29. > :07:36.vote of confidence in its work. But one thing Bombardier won't be drawn
:07:36. > :07:40.on is what impact this order will have on future jobs on this site.
:07:40. > :07:45.Production lines get moving again in the new year with engineers
:07:45. > :07:54.looking forward to 130 new carriages to build and breathing
:07:54. > :07:57.space perhaps to secure even more work here.
:07:57. > :08:00.Police in Salford investigating the murder of an Indian student have
:08:00. > :08:06.made a fourth arrest. Anuj Bidve was shot in the early hours of

:08:32. > :08:35.completely shatter stkpwhrd in Salford today forensic officers
:08:35. > :08:45.were back at the place where the student was shot dead in front of
:08:45. > :08:46.
:08:46. > :08:48.his friends. It's been almost three days and every inch is still being
:08:48. > :08:50.searched. But why was Anuj Bidve shot?
:08:50. > :08:54.Detectives believe his killer asked him for the time, he replied and
:08:54. > :08:59.it's then thought the gun was fired at point blank range. The shock of
:08:59. > :09:03.what's happened is beginning to show on the streets. It's not just
:09:03. > :09:07.sadness felt here in Salford, it's embarrassment, too. Local people
:09:07. > :09:13.won't be interviewed because they say this shooting has brought shame
:09:13. > :09:19.on the community. They feel sorry for the family in India. We will be
:09:19. > :09:23.travelling to the UK to get Anuj Bidve's body back to India and we
:09:23. > :09:28.will come there and talk to all authorities to explain the process
:09:28. > :09:31.and we will try and get his body back to India.
:09:31. > :09:35.Anuj Bidve's family hope to be in England by the end of the week.
:09:35. > :09:40.They say they want justice for the 23-year-old who only came to
:09:40. > :09:50.Manchester that night to enjoy the festivities, but died on a street
:09:50. > :10:04.
:10:04. > :10:14.thousands of miles from home. A young woman found stabbed to
:10:14. > :10:17.death in Borehamwood Hertfordshire has been named as Catherine Wynter.
:10:17. > :10:21.The body was discovered 8.00am yesterday morning by her mother.
:10:21. > :10:26.But the police believe she was killed on Boxing Day night, stabbed
:10:26. > :10:31.to death as she babysat her sister's two children, a three-
:10:31. > :10:36.year-old and a four-year-old. She was last seen alive at 7.30pm,
:10:36. > :10:40.after that it's unclear exactly what happened. Two men have been
:10:40. > :10:43.arrested, an 18-year-old and 26- year-old. They are known to have
:10:44. > :10:48.been known by Catherine. They're being questioned in a local police
:10:48. > :10:52.station at the moment. What's not clear at this stage is what the --
:10:52. > :11:02.whether the two children witnessed the attack. They're with specially
:11:02. > :11:04.
:11:04. > :11:07.trained police officers who are trying to get information from them.
:11:07. > :11:09.In Syria, state television reports that 755 people being held for
:11:09. > :11:13.their role in the uprising have been released. All detained
:11:13. > :11:15.protesters are meant to be freed under a peace plan set out by the
:11:15. > :11:18.Arab League, whose monitors are continuing their visit to the
:11:18. > :11:21.country. But the UN estimates that some 14,000 have been detained
:11:21. > :11:29.during the protests and more than 5,000 killed by President Assad's
:11:29. > :11:34.forces, as Caroline Hawley reports. Reassuring may have been the
:11:34. > :11:36.verdict of the Arab League but this is footage posted on the internet
:11:36. > :11:40.by opposition activist who is fear the observers will not be allowed
:11:40. > :11:44.to see the true face of the Syrian regime.
:11:44. > :11:49.We can't be sure exactly where or when it was filmed but it appears
:11:49. > :11:54.to show clashes in the town of Homs yesterday. The very day the Arab
:11:54. > :11:58.League monitors arrived. Under the terms of the peace plan, peaceful
:11:58. > :12:01.demonstrations are supposed to be allowed. Freeing political
:12:01. > :12:06.prisoners is another of the key demands of the agreement and today
:12:06. > :12:12.in a gesture to the observers the Syrian authorities say they've
:12:12. > :12:16.released 755. But that's a small fraction of the thousands being
:12:16. > :12:20.held and Human Rights Watch says it's been told that as many as 600
:12:20. > :12:24.detainees may have been transferred to military sites to hide them from
:12:24. > :12:29.the Arab monitors. State-run television showed their
:12:29. > :12:32.visit to Homs, all quiet when this was filmed. The observers are led
:12:32. > :12:37.by a Sudanese General and accompanied by the Syrian
:12:37. > :12:41.authorities. And there are only 60 of them at the moment. Far too few,
:12:41. > :12:47.critics say, for the crisis Syria is in. The regime is attempt ing to
:12:47. > :12:54.use this for public relations purposes, the question is are these
:12:54. > :12:57.monitors there to sightsee, be part of regime's public relations
:12:57. > :13:01.apparatus? At the moment it's toothless. The mission is meant to
:13:01. > :13:05.help stem the bloodshed but the toll is rising all the time. These
:13:05. > :13:10.are Syrians being treated in hospital just inside Lebanon,
:13:10. > :13:15.refugees still frightened to be identified after they fled.
:13:15. > :13:19.She has shrapnel in the head, he says, we had to come here so she
:13:19. > :13:23.could be properly treated. The credibility of the Arab League
:13:23. > :13:27.monitors is on the line and with the violence apparently continuing
:13:27. > :13:37.in Homs today, even in their presence, the omens for their
:13:37. > :13:39.
:13:39. > :13:41.mission are not good. At the Old Bailey, the judge at the
:13:41. > :13:44.Stephen Lawrence murder trial has told jurors to set aside any
:13:44. > :13:46.emotion in their deliberations. David Norris and Gary Dobson deny
:13:46. > :13:51.murdering the black teenager in south-east London in 1993. The
:13:51. > :13:53.defence says that forensic evidence against them was contaminated. The
:13:53. > :13:56.judge said sympathy for the Lawrence family, or anger at the
:13:56. > :14:03.nature of the attack, could not guide the jury's verdict, as Tom
:14:03. > :14:06.Symonds reports. The final final act of this high
:14:06. > :14:09.profile trial, 18 years after the stabbing of Stephen Lawrence. His
:14:09. > :14:13.family, including his brother Stewart, here on the right, have
:14:13. > :14:17.all been in court. Defendants Gary Dobson and David Norris were
:14:17. > :14:27.brought from prison by van for the judge's summing up. Mr Justice
:14:27. > :14:32.
:14:32. > :14:36.He set out for the jury the routes they must take to reach a verdict.
:14:36. > :14:40.He said they had to be sure forensic evidence came from Stephen
:14:40. > :14:45.Lawrence, and that there had been no contamination of the evidence
:14:45. > :14:47.while in storage bags. They had to be sure either defendant had been
:14:47. > :14:51.present and participating in the attack.
:14:51. > :14:55.To be guilty of murder, the defendant must have intended to
:14:55. > :14:58.kill Stephen or cause him serious harm. But under the laws of joint
:14:58. > :15:03.enterprise, if they realised another member of the group
:15:03. > :15:06.intended to kill, that could also be murder. The jury can consider
:15:06. > :15:10.manslaughter, as an alternative. The judge has been summarising all
:15:10. > :15:15.of the evidence, including eyewitness descriptions of the
:15:15. > :15:18.attack here on this road in Eltham and the detailed views of forensic
:15:18. > :15:22.scientists. He told the jury they had to be sure of their verdicts,
:15:22. > :15:26.but also that this trial wasn't some sort of detective novel where
:15:26. > :15:31.all the loose ends were tied newspaper the final chapter, there
:15:31. > :15:35.might be some unanswered questions once they had made their decisions.
:15:35. > :15:45.David Norris and Gary Dobson both deny murder. The jury will begin
:15:45. > :15:48.considering its verdicts tomorrow. Palestinian police have intervened
:15:48. > :15:51.to stop a fight between rival priests at the Church of the
:15:51. > :15:54.Nativity in Bethlehem. Around 100 Greek Orthodox and Armenian clerics
:15:54. > :15:57.fought with brooms as they cleaned the church in preparation for the
:15:57. > :16:06.Orthodox Christmas. There's been tension in the past between the
:16:06. > :16:09.various Christian denominations sharing the church.
:16:09. > :16:12.A chimpanzee believed to have starred in a number of Hollywood
:16:12. > :16:17.films has died. It's even claimed that Cheetah was the famous co-star
:16:17. > :16:21.with Johnny Weissmuller in the Tarzan films of the 1930s. The
:16:21. > :16:27.owners of the animal sanctuary in Florida where he died say he was 80
:16:27. > :16:30.years old. A team of British scientists has
:16:30. > :16:35.captured images of very rare species in some of the most
:16:35. > :16:38.inaccessible parts of the Indian Ocean. They've been surveying
:16:38. > :16:42.volcanic underwater vents where they found a remarkable array of
:16:42. > :16:45.creatures living in the heated waters. They believe some of the
:16:45. > :16:49.species may be new to science, as Daniel Boettcher reports.
:16:49. > :16:55.A dark and mysterious world almost 3,000 meeters beneath the surface
:16:55. > :17:01.of the Indian Ocean, these volcanic vents spew out superheated water.
:17:01. > :17:04.It's an extreme environment. It's home to strange specially adapted
:17:04. > :17:08.creatures. Researchers using a remote-controlled robot have been
:17:08. > :17:11.surveying an area in the south-west Indian ridge, comparing it with
:17:11. > :17:16.other ridges where life has already been well documented. And they
:17:16. > :17:23.believe some of the species they found may be new to science. For
:17:23. > :17:32.example, this yeti crab, it's unlike species recorded in the
:17:32. > :17:35.Pacific. It's like a crossroads for marine life. Our task is to
:17:35. > :17:39.understand how creatures are related to other species elsewhere
:17:39. > :17:42.in the world and by studying these animals we hope to better
:17:42. > :17:47.understand how kwraels -- animals disperse and evolve in the deep
:17:48. > :17:53.ocean. Volcanic vents support unusual food chains which rely on
:17:53. > :17:56.chemical energy, rather than sunlight. Because the the vents
:17:56. > :18:00.aren't around for long creatures have to be able to move between
:18:00. > :18:04.them to survive. As technology improves, scientists aren't the
