:01:51. > :01:55.David Cameron has revealed that some of the Conservative Party's
:01:55. > :01:59.biggest donors have been invited to private dinners at Number Ten. It
:01:59. > :02:03.follows the emergence of secret filming in which the party's former
:02:03. > :02:07.treasurer says six-figure donations would buy access to the Prime
:02:07. > :02:10.Minister and his policy unit. Initially, Downing Street refused
:02:10. > :02:15.to give the names of the guests, but has been mounting pressure to
:02:15. > :02:19.do so. Mr Cameron has launched an internal party but Labour says that
:02:20. > :02:24.is not enough. Here is political editor Nick Robinson.
:02:24. > :02:27.Not everyone can afford to have dinner in the flat over the shop,
:02:27. > :02:32.not least when the shop in question is Number Ten Downing Street. And
:02:32. > :02:38.when your host is none other than the Prime Minister himself. Today
:02:38. > :02:46.Cameron had, as claimed, hosted not dinner-parties but doughnut parties
:02:46. > :02:50.for the very, very rich. -- Donor. They have been three occasions on
:02:50. > :02:53.which significant donors have eaten dinner in my flat. None of these
:02:53. > :02:57.were fund-raising dinners, and none of them were paid for by the
:02:57. > :03:01.taxpayer. This is not what those attending a conference on dementia
:03:01. > :03:05.had expected, but David Cameron knew he had no choice but to reveal
:03:05. > :03:09.who had attended the shadowy dinners which his Treasury --
:03:09. > :03:13.treasurer was caught on camera boasting about. Our bigger donors
:03:13. > :03:17.have been for dinner in Number Ten Downing Street, in the Prime
:03:17. > :03:22.Minister's private apartment. guests at the three parties hosted
:03:22. > :03:29.in the flat above Number Ten contributed nearly �10 million to
:03:29. > :03:32.the Conservative Party. Amongst these six were Henry Angus, a

:04:06. > :04:13.-- and the Prime Minister. The minister had come to talk about
:04:13. > :04:18.reforming party funding. He was met by division. As set out in the
:04:18. > :04:23.coalition government funding, funding needs to be reformed...
:04:23. > :04:27.The Labour leader was particularly scathing. It shows at the contempt
:04:27. > :04:31.for this House that the Prime Minister can make a statement to
:04:31. > :04:37.the media just three hours ago but refuses to come here to face
:04:37. > :04:41.Members of Parliament. Ed Miliband condemned what he called the
:04:41. > :04:47.whitewash of an inquiry into the Conservative Party by the
:04:47. > :04:50.Conservative Party. This gamble speaks to the conduct and character
:04:50. > :04:54.of the Prime Minister and the government. -- this scandal.
:04:54. > :05:02.Anything short of an independent inquiry will leave a permanent
:05:02. > :05:04.stain on this government and this prime minister. Only a few weeks
:05:04. > :05:09.ago, the Prime Minister told a visiting schoolchildren about his
:05:09. > :05:15.flat over the shop. I live in a very nice flat above Number 11
:05:15. > :05:20.Downing Street, but what I get up to in mayor is private! How he must
:05:20. > :05:27.wish that was still true. What he gets up to our there is private no
:05:27. > :05:31.Nick, we have got some names, beyond that what have we actually
:05:31. > :05:35.learnt today? We have learnt what the Prime Minister wanted to keep
:05:35. > :05:39.private. Last night we were being told that we could not be told who
:05:39. > :05:43.had dinner with him in his private flat, he needs to keep his family's
:05:43. > :05:47.privacy. Well, we have now got that information, because he knew he
:05:48. > :05:51.could not hold out against demands to give it. And yet the world has
:05:51. > :05:54.not dramatically changed having got it. If you did not know that the
:05:54. > :05:58.Conservative Party was funded by enormously wealthy people, you have
:05:58. > :06:03.been reminded of it, but most of that information was in the public
:06:03. > :06:05.domain, most of it was already published. If you did not know that
:06:05. > :06:09.politicians and the Prime Minister have cosy dinners with people who
:06:09. > :06:13.give them money, now you do, but most of that was obvious to people
:06:13. > :06:17.who have followed politics for a long time. One big thing we have
:06:17. > :06:22.been reminded of, although this is not new, is that back in the House
:06:22. > :06:26.of Commons he mentioned the word party funding reform and you get
:06:26. > :06:30.mayhem. The Conservatives accused the Labour Party of being in the
:06:30. > :06:33.trade union pockets, the Labour Party accused the Conservatives of
:06:33. > :06:36.being in the pockets of the wealthy, and what nobody actually wants to
:06:36. > :06:40.mention is that every recent independent report on this subject
:06:40. > :06:44.has said that there are ways of solving the problem but they are
:06:44. > :06:48.not very welcome ways for those of you watching at home, because the
:06:48. > :06:52.answer, according to the reports, is that you should pay more, that
:06:52. > :06:55.the reform requires taxpayer funding of politics, and if you
:06:55. > :07:00.don't like that, you will have to put up with those dinners and with
:07:00. > :07:04.the trade unions backing the Labour Party.
:07:04. > :07:09.Last March, Thusha Kamaleswaran was a typical five-year-old with dreams
:07:09. > :07:12.of becoming a dancer. Today she is paralysed, a victim of gang warfare.
:07:12. > :07:15.Three men have been found guilty of grievous bodily harm after they
:07:15. > :07:22.shot the chart while chasing a rival gang member in a corner shop
:07:22. > :07:28.owned by the girl's aunt. This report contains CCTV footage of the
:07:28. > :07:30.attack. This is five-year-old Thusha
:07:30. > :07:33.Kamaleswaran playing at the back of her uncle's south London grocery
:07:33. > :07:41.store, and what follows is the moment in March last year when
:07:41. > :07:44.London's gang wars changed her life forever. CCTV shows staff, Thusha
:07:44. > :07:49.and Another Little girl rush to investigate a commotion at the shop
:07:49. > :07:53.door. A gun is fired, and everyone retreats except Thusha, who has
:07:53. > :07:58.been hit in the chest and is lying on the floor. That image is too
:07:58. > :08:03.distressing to show. Seconds later, the intended targets of the
:08:03. > :08:08.shooting in black walk calmly from the shop. The shooter was Nathaniel
:08:08. > :08:12.Grant, his accomplices Anthony McCalla and Kazeem Kolawole. Today
:08:13. > :08:16.convicted of attempted murder and grievous bodily harm. It is an
:08:16. > :08:20.absolutely dreadful case, you know, these people are shown no remorse
:08:20. > :08:24.for what they have done. The team, I think they would have worked as
:08:24. > :08:30.many hours as it took for as long as it took just to make sure that
:08:30. > :08:38.we got a result in his case. Police scoured 700 hours of CCTV from 150
:08:38. > :08:41.cameras. Among the images they found this, Anthony McCallum
:08:41. > :08:47.mimicking a drive-by shooting as they leave Brixton to hunt rival
:08:47. > :08:52.gang members. -- Anthony Mike Catt. As the men up broke the shop where
:08:52. > :08:56.Thusha was plain, two members of a rival gang ran in to take shelter.
:08:56. > :09:01.To the right, you can see the first shot being fired through the door.
:09:02. > :09:05.The camera in a neighbouring store recorded the sound of the gunshot.
:09:05. > :09:09.Then the bike is pulled up at the door and Grant fired another shot,
:09:09. > :09:14.hitting Thusha in the chest and another customer in the face. Both
:09:14. > :09:18.survived. After Thusha was shot, her family carried her through to
:09:18. > :09:22.the safety of the office at the back of the shop. When paramedics
:09:22. > :09:25.arrived, her heart had stopped, but they were able to revive it. It
:09:25. > :09:30.stopped again in the ambulance on the way to hospital, and there
:09:30. > :09:34.doctors were able to save a life. In a statement, her mother and
:09:34. > :09:40.father thanked the emergency services for saving their daughter.
:09:40. > :09:42.They said the shooting had been unbearable. Thusha herself had once
:09:42. > :09:50.dreamed of being a dancer, but doctors say she will never walk
:09:50. > :09:54.again. Fuel tanker drivers belonging to
:09:54. > :10:03.the Unite trade union have voted in favour of strike action. The
:10:03. > :10:06.correspondent Richard Westcott is at a fuel depot in west London for
:10:06. > :10:12.us now. Does this mean a strike is definitely going to happen,
:10:12. > :10:16.Richard? The good news is that it does not. The good news for drivers,
:10:16. > :10:21.anyway. I have been speaking to the unions, and they are keen to stress
:10:21. > :10:24.they have not set strike dates yet. This is really a bargaining chip, a
:10:24. > :10:29.powerful one for the unions, in a dispute that has been rumbling on
:10:29. > :10:33.for months about everything from pensions and safety training. If
:10:33. > :10:36.there is a strike, the army will be involved, and speaking to one of
:10:36. > :10:42.the companies affected, I know that they have been training soldiers
:10:42. > :10:44.today. The skies, already tanker drivers of the army, they have been
:10:44. > :10:47.given a week's training so that they are ready to go. The
:10:47. > :10:51.government is stressing that they have got the police on standby to
:10:51. > :10:55.make sure that any tanker drivers who are going in and out of places
:10:55. > :10:58.like this behind me, this fuel depot, are not intimidated by
:10:59. > :11:04.picket lines. 12 years ago, those at full blockades, the government
:11:04. > :11:08.was caught out. To emphasise again, it is not time to fill up your car
:11:08. > :11:11.just yet. A Royal Marine and Isolde from the
:11:11. > :11:16.Adjutant General's Corps serving in Afghanistan have been shot dead by
:11:16. > :11:21.an Afghan soldier. -- a soldier. The Taliban said it was responsible.
:11:21. > :11:24.The men's families have been informed. As our correspondent
:11:24. > :11:27.David Loyn reports from Kabul, a growing number of NATO troops have
:11:28. > :11:32.been killed by Afghans were supposed to be their comrades and
:11:32. > :11:34.allies. This is a tough conflict at the
:11:34. > :11:42.best of times, but for international troops the risk of
:11:42. > :11:45.being shot by the very men they are is the hardest one-day phase. These
:11:45. > :11:49.two deaths bring to 15 the number of British troops who have died in
:11:50. > :11:55.this way. The news was announced in the Commons. Details of the
:11:55. > :11:57.incident are still emerging, but it appears that a member of the Afghan
:11:57. > :12:01.national army opened fire at the entrance gate to the British
:12:01. > :12:08.headquarters in Lashkar Gah City, killing the two British service
:12:08. > :12:13.personnel. The assailant was killed by return fire. Afghan anger has
:12:13. > :12:17.followed stories of US soldiers urinating on enemy corpses, burning
:12:17. > :12:22.copies of the Koran, and then 17 villagers were killed by one row US
:12:23. > :12:28.soldier. That is the background to the attacks by Afghan soldiers. In
:12:28. > :12:33.military jargon, NATO is always blue, Afghan forces are green.
:12:33. > :12:37.These attacks are long does green on blue. A total of 13 troops have
:12:37. > :12:42.died this year at the hands of Afghan forces before the deaths of
:12:42. > :12:48.the two British troops today, six American soldiers, including two
:12:48. > :12:51.inside the Minister of Interior. One Albanian was killed close to
:12:51. > :12:55.the Pakistan border, and four French troops were killed by an
:12:55. > :12:58.Afghan soldier in February. We are taking a lot of measures to ensure
:12:58. > :13:03.these incidents are kept to a minimum, and I cannot predict this
:13:03. > :13:07.will result in a shift in policy. It is a terrible spate of attacks.
:13:07. > :13:12.It is terrible. Although these attacks are relatively small number,
:13:12. > :13:18.the effect they have is a beer. aim is that Afghan forces will be
:13:18. > :13:21.ready to take on the fight against the Taliban for themselves by 2014.
:13:21. > :13:26.There is international resolve to stick to the plan, keeper to the
:13:26. > :13:33.timetable of withdrawal by 2014, but however strong that may be, it
:13:33. > :13:38.trussed on the ground between the soldiers of these different nations
:13:38. > :13:44.after the spate of violent killings. The flags will be flying at half-

:14:23. > :14:29.street are already suffering from store closures, another 277 stores
:14:29. > :14:32.going, more than 2000 jobs being lost. Partly, this is due to the
:14:32. > :14:38.stagnation and the high street, partly it is the migration of games
:14:38. > :14:43.to the online world, in terms of purchases, but also Game is a story
:14:43. > :14:48.about an over-ambitious management expanding too much in the UK and,
:14:48. > :14:51.importantly, overseas. It is not all bad news tonight, and I
:14:51. > :14:56.understand that Royal Bank of Scotland is close to agreeing a
:14:56. > :15:02.deal to purchase the residual 300 stores in Britain. That would
:15:03. > :15:08.protect something like 3,000 jobs. So although bad news tonight, then

:20:25. > :20:28.with the good weather comes a warning. Parts of England face a
:20:28. > :20:31.drought and some of our rivers are drying up, leaving fish stocks

:24:35. > :24:41.buy them for him. He was paid back and now, for the first time, they
:24:41. > :24:50.are meeting. Great to meet you, at last forced you saved my Olympics,
:24:50. > :24:52.I think. A big thank you, really. It's been a pleasure. When he won
:24:53. > :24:57.the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, getting hold of tickets was not an
:24:57. > :25:02.issue, but the demand in London is so great, athletes are limited to
:25:02. > :25:06.two each, which was never going to be enough for his family. You don't
:25:06. > :25:10.hear many stories like this. It's normally doom and gloom. Somebody
:25:10. > :25:14.going out the way to help others is exactly what the Olympic spirit
:25:14. > :25:19.embodies, really. Everybody having a good time and helping each other
