0:02:09 > 0:02:14Britain's most senior police officers has told the inquiry into
0:02:14 > 0:02:17press standards that there was a series of illegal payments at The
0:02:17 > 0:02:22Sun newspaper. Sue Akers has said that the journalists paid a network
0:02:22 > 0:02:26of corrupt public officials for leads on stories. Tens of thousands
0:02:26 > 0:02:30of pounds were received by officials in Government, the police

0:03:03 > 0:03:07investigation into phone hacking and improper payments by News
0:03:07 > 0:03:17International. The payments were made not only to police officers
0:03:17 > 0:03:18
0:03:18 > 0:03:24but to a wide range of public officials. In the military, health,
0:03:24 > 0:03:29Government, prison and others. They suggest that public officials
0:03:29 > 0:03:33received payments from all areas of public life. The current assessment
0:03:33 > 0:03:37reveals a network of corrupted officials. She told the inquiry
0:03:37 > 0:03:42that the approach to journalism was deeply embedded. There appears to
0:03:42 > 0:03:47have been a culture at the Sun of illegal payments. Systems have been
0:03:47 > 0:03:51created to facilitate those payments, while hiding the identity
0:03:51 > 0:03:55of the officials receiving the money. The journalists involved for
0:03:55 > 0:04:00well aware that what they were doing was unlawful, according to
0:04:00 > 0:04:04criminal law, is that right? Yes. That is by reference to comments

0:04:09 > 0:04:14need for care and the need for cash payments. -- their pension or their
0:04:14 > 0:04:20job. The money was significant. One
0:04:20 > 0:04:25journalist paid out �150,000. vast majority of the disclosures
0:04:25 > 0:04:28made have led to stories that I would describe as salacious gossip,
0:04:28 > 0:04:33rather than anything that could remotely be regarded as in the
0:04:33 > 0:04:41public interest. Responding in a statement, Rupert Murdoch said that

0:04:50 > 0:04:56of the reasons why they could get away with those alleged past
0:04:56 > 0:05:02practices was the proximity between the press and the police then. Just
0:05:02 > 0:05:05one more alleged example. The inquiry heard that in September,
0:05:05 > 0:05:092006, Rebekah Wade was briefed by police that they would not be

0:05:13 > 0:05:16royal editor, despite having evidence that more than 100 people
0:05:16 > 0:05:20had had messages intercepted. One of the victims of phone hacking was
0:05:20 > 0:05:26the former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott. What did he think
0:05:26 > 0:05:31had been going on? I think there is a conspiracy of silence to hide the
0:05:31 > 0:05:34facts. Frankly I am more strongly of that view in the last few months.
0:05:34 > 0:05:44In the last few days, senior Metropolitan Police officers, past

0:05:50 > 0:05:55that Charlotte Church and her family revealed they have received
0:05:55 > 0:06:00�600,000 of damages. The singer said she was sickened and disgusted
0:06:00 > 0:06:04by what she had learned during the phone hacking scandal. This report
0:06:04 > 0:06:08contains flash photography. She has been famous from the age of 11.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Charlotte church was the young girl who grew up in the public eye. As
0:06:12 > 0:06:18she moved into her teens, media interest became more intense and
0:06:18 > 0:06:22more intrusive. Today the court heard how when she was 16, the News
0:06:22 > 0:06:27of the World began hacking her telephone. It went on for years.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31They ran stories about her personal life, including her first boyfriend.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Some of her medical details were also published. What I have
0:06:35 > 0:06:40discovered as the litigation has gone on has thickened and disgusted
0:06:40 > 0:06:45me. Nothing was deemed off-limits by those pursuing me and my family,
0:06:45 > 0:06:50just to make money from a multi- million-pound News Corporation.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Somebody thought that was OK. How can that be in any right-thinking
0:06:54 > 0:06:58society? Charlotte church has often been in the headlines because of
0:06:58 > 0:07:02her private life, here with her former boyfriend and the father of
0:07:02 > 0:07:07her children, Gavin Henson. The News of the World decided that the
0:07:07 > 0:07:11parents were fair game, too. The newspaper were said to offer an
0:07:11 > 0:07:16ultimatum to have mother, Maria, described as vulnerable and with a
0:07:16 > 0:07:24complex medical history. She was poet into an interview in which she
0:07:24 > 0:07:33said she had harmed herself and attempted suicide. -- she was
0:07:33 > 0:07:36coerced into an interview. They try to make this investigation into an
0:07:36 > 0:07:43interrogation of my mother's medical condition. In my opinion
0:07:43 > 0:07:46they are not truly sorry, only sorry that they got caught.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05the former footballer Paul Gascoigne. Once again, the News of
0:08:05 > 0:08:09the World is writing a six-figure cheque. Some claimants have not
0:08:09 > 0:08:14revealed how much they have received, so we cannot do a running
0:08:14 > 0:08:18total of how much this is costing. Today we were told that 180 more
0:08:18 > 0:08:22people could be in the queue for damages.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26The cruise ship carrying 1000 passengers and crew is adrift in
0:08:26 > 0:08:30the Indian Ocean tonight after a fire in its engine room. The Costa
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Allegra belongs to the same company that owns the Costa Concordia, the
0:08:34 > 0:08:38liner that ran aground last month with the loss of least 25 lives.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44The Costa Allegra is drifting without power 200 miles on the
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Seychelles. In the midst of the Indian Ocean,
0:08:47 > 0:08:55the Costa Allegra sent out distress signals this morning as it steamed
0:08:55 > 0:09:02from Madagascar to the Seychelles. A fire had broken out and the 636
0:09:02 > 0:09:08passengers were ordered to muster stations. The commander of the
0:09:08 > 0:09:14Italian coast guard said that the fire was in the generator room, but
0:09:14 > 0:09:19he said it had been put out quickly and nobody had been injured. The
0:09:19 > 0:09:23company website showed how the live feed of pictures and information
0:09:23 > 0:09:29from this ship had stopped. The Costa Allegra's engines have been

0:09:40 > 0:09:44adrift with no lighting and in an area where Somali pirates are known
0:09:44 > 0:09:47to operate. The repairs to the ship and getting everybody back to
0:09:47 > 0:09:52dryland will take a couple of days and it will be uncomfortable for
0:09:52 > 0:09:55the passengers and crew, but not life threatening. It will be an
0:09:55 > 0:10:01incident that would pass almost without comment were it not for
0:10:01 > 0:10:04that terrible image of the Costa Concordia. It was last month that
0:10:04 > 0:10:11the Costa Concordia, which is owned by the same company, capsized off
0:10:11 > 0:10:18Italy. At least 25 people were killed. Seven are still missing,
0:10:18 > 0:10:22presumed dead. There are more signs of division at
0:10:22 > 0:10:26the heart of the coalition Government over controversial plans
0:10:26 > 0:10:30to reform the NHS in England. The Lib Dem leader has written a public
0:10:30 > 0:10:34letter to his MPs and Peers about why he thinks the bill still needs
0:10:34 > 0:10:38changing. Downing Street has insisted that the proposals are
0:10:38 > 0:10:42fine as they are. Our deputy political editor it is at
0:10:42 > 0:10:48Westminster now with the latest. is health bill has been dragged
0:10:48 > 0:10:51from pillar to post. There have been demonstrations, calls for
0:10:51 > 0:10:55change, defeat in Parliament and now there are yet more calls for
0:10:55 > 0:10:59change. But they are not coming from outside Government but within
0:10:59 > 0:11:04the Government itself. Government's troubled plans to
0:11:04 > 0:11:07reform the NHS in England are still in trouble. They had lots of
0:11:07 > 0:11:11emergency surgery in Parliament but today the Deputy Prime Minister
0:11:11 > 0:11:16called for yet more. In a letter to his MPs, Nick Clegg praised the way
0:11:16 > 0:11:20his party, he claimed, had changed the plans. He said the health bill
0:11:20 > 0:11:24is undoubtedly better because of the Liberal Democrats. He went on
0:11:24 > 0:11:31to call for even more changes this week. Given how precious the NHS is,
0:11:31 > 0:11:38he said, we want to rule out any threat of a US-style market in the
0:11:38 > 0:11:41NHS, which is why he wants to see changes in the House of Lords.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45want to address the concerns about competition. I regard competition
0:11:45 > 0:11:53as the means to a better NHS and not an end in itself and that is
0:11:53 > 0:12:00why the amendments will make it clear once and for all that the NHS
0:12:00 > 0:12:07is not a slave to that. Nick Clegg said that it should become law so
0:12:07 > 0:12:12long as more is done to protect it from competition law, and that the
0:12:12 > 0:12:16independent hospital watchdog is protected. All of this who put his
0:12:16 > 0:12:22name to the health bill when it was published last year, promising
0:12:22 > 0:12:25critics that they would... Paws, listen, engage. Today he was trying
0:12:25 > 0:12:30to put distance between himself and the Tories and some of them were
0:12:30 > 0:12:35not impressed. I am surprised by the intervention and they think it
0:12:35 > 0:12:39is more about politics than substance. If that is what it takes
0:12:39 > 0:12:43to get this bill through and onto the statute book, then so be it.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47David Cameron knows that Nick Clegg needs to bring his party on board
0:12:47 > 0:12:53and avoid a potential row up the Lib Dem conference next week. Some
0:12:53 > 0:12:57MPs still have worries. We are not out of the woods yet and the double
0:12:57 > 0:13:01is always in the detail. This bill has the capacity to destabilise the
0:13:01 > 0:13:06coalition and indeed the NHS. ministers said they were relaxed
0:13:06 > 0:13:16about what Nick Clegg was demanding but whether this changes are
0:13:16 > 0:13:17
0:13:17 > 0:13:21substantially of or symbolic is still causing tension. -- the
0:13:21 > 0:13:25changes are substantial. In servitude MPs think the Lib Dems
0:13:25 > 0:13:30are going too far and some Lib Dems think there is more to be got out
0:13:30 > 0:13:34of the Government on this bill. -- Conservative MPs. Nick Clegg has
0:13:34 > 0:13:38singled that if these changes are made, whether they are symbolic or
0:13:38 > 0:13:42substantial of, he will give his support to this bill and it is more
0:13:42 > 0:13:47likely to get onto the statute book now. However there is still a long
0:13:47 > 0:13:51way to go before the Government feels that it has won the argument
0:13:51 > 0:13:55and persuaded people that the bill is necessary.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00European Union foreign ministers have imposed a new round of
0:14:00 > 0:14:02sanctions against President Assad's regime in Syria. It comes as his
0:14:02 > 0:14:06forces launched a fresh offensive against opposition groups in the
0:14:06 > 0:14:11North West of the country. Despite the violence, the Government is
0:14:11 > 0:14:21celebrating victory in a highly controversial referendum on reform

0:14:28 > 0:14:33Night time protest. This is a suburb of Damascus. Pictures
0:14:33 > 0:14:40apparently taking yesterday evening, although it is impossible to verify.
0:14:40 > 0:14:46The crowds denounced President Bashar al-Assad's regime. And the
0:14:46 > 0:14:55regime's response is predictable. A protester lies wounded, but still
0:14:55 > 0:15:00moving as others call for help and chant "Magog protect the three
0:15:00 > 0:15:07Syrian army". And these pictures appear to show shelling of the Baba
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Amr district of Homs. A correspondent in Syria is
0:15:10 > 0:15:16witnessing renewed efforts by Government forces to seize back
0:15:16 > 0:15:21towns in open revolt. We were owed -- woken up to sounds of artillery
0:15:21 > 0:15:25coming in. We believe they are using anti- aircraft guns targeting
0:15:25 > 0:15:31against the town and setting up more suppositions and with infantry.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35In response to this, the European Union it is united in its response.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40Even if the international community is not. EU foreign ministers have
0:15:40 > 0:15:46agreed to impose new sanctions on Syria, adding to their existing ban
0:15:46 > 0:15:50on oil imports. Assets a brought a more Syrian officials are being
0:15:51 > 0:15:57frozen and it will apply to the freezing of assets in Syria's

0:16:03 > 0:16:08sanctions are blunted by lack of support by the key powers. Do we
0:16:08 > 0:16:13have a difference of opinion with China? Yes we do. It remains a
0:16:13 > 0:16:17major blockage in what the international community can do.
0:16:17 > 0:16:23Look how Syrian state television is drawing straight from Russia's
0:16:23 > 0:16:31position. The Russian Prime Minister says the nobody should be
0:16:32 > 0:16:36allowed to repeat the Libyan scenario in Syria. It is no
0:16:36 > 0:16:40surprise President Bashar al-Assad won the referendum comfortably. The
0:16:40 > 0:16:45opposition boycotted the poll and many others called it a sham. But

0:17:35 > 0:17:38offered by landlords to the poorest of workers. Many came to Britain to

0:17:57 > 0:18:02These are Britain's 21st century slums. Hidden at the end of
0:18:02 > 0:18:09suburban gardens. In one area of west London, 2,500 poorly

0:18:14 > 0:18:19They call them sheds with beds, many built without planning

0:18:23 > 0:18:29and on the end of each garden there are brick-built things like this
0:18:29 > 0:18:38one, all with windows and doorways bleeding to this alleyway. And they
0:18:38 > 0:18:43just go on, and on, and on! Inside, the accommodation is basic. They
0:18:43 > 0:18:52came here from India to make money, but Britain's economic downturn has
0:18:52 > 0:18:57driven them into poverty. TRANSLATION: We can barely make
