:02:04. > :02:08.bombing the houses. Help us. There were at least 15 injured

:02:36. > :02:42.short of the diplomatic miracle, they believe they will just have to
:02:42. > :02:47.fight for their freedom. And the Turkish hosts are now declined to
:02:47. > :02:51.agree. The peace plan calls for the government to stop using heavy
:02:52. > :02:56.weapons in population centres. For the opposition to commit to stop
:02:56. > :03:04.fighting. And for all parties to ensure that humanitarian assistance
:03:04. > :03:11.reaches all areas affected by the fighting. And to implement a daily
:03:11. > :03:15.two-hour humanitarian pause. Turkey has been appalled by the surge of
:03:15. > :03:20.fighting and is calling for an alternative to the peace plan. In
:03:20. > :03:24.this village they have been pulling people out from what is left of
:03:24. > :03:31.their homes after another bombardment. 35 are believed to
:03:31. > :03:41.have died here including women and children. The only certainty is

:03:45. > :03:47.that there will be many more such victims. Options for a new type of
:03:47. > :03:49.private pension, to replace final salary schemes are being considered
:03:50. > :03:52.by ministers. One idea could involve a company guaranteeing a
:03:52. > :03:54.fixed pension pot on retirement. The Government says while many
:03:54. > :03:55.businesses want to offer decent pensions final salary schemes are
:03:55. > :04:01.just too expensive. Our Business Correspondent, Emma Simpson,
:04:01. > :04:06.reports. Building up the pension pot is not
:04:06. > :04:10.as easy as it once was. Final salary pension schemes are
:04:10. > :04:14.increasingly scarce. Today new workers normally have to shoulder
:04:15. > :04:19.the risk without a guaranteed return. The pensions minister says
:04:19. > :04:23.they could be a third way - a new type of pension that would see
:04:23. > :04:28.employers and workers sharing some of those investment risks. We are
:04:28. > :04:33.trying to make sure that companies that want to offer a decent
:04:33. > :04:37.pensions deal are helped to do so. It may not be the gold plated
:04:38. > :04:40.pensions of the past, but an element of guarantee. We make it
:04:41. > :04:46.easier for companies that want to do the right thing by their
:04:46. > :04:50.employees. Morrisons is already taking this new MyPa. As well as
:04:50. > :04:54.existing schemes it will also offer workers at guaranteed pension fund
:04:55. > :04:59.on retirement. But workers would then have to decide what to do with
:04:59. > :05:05.that money. These days only one in three private sector workers are
:05:05. > :05:09.reckoned to be in any occupational pension plan. And with final salary
:05:09. > :05:14.schemes fast disappearing, the Challenge of how to secure enough
:05:14. > :05:18.income for a decent retirement has never been so important.
:05:18. > :05:24.investment returns to not workout and if inflation turns out to be
:05:24. > :05:29.high, it costs work out fairly expensive or if everyone starts
:05:29. > :05:34.living much longer, the old way of thinking about pensions will have
:05:34. > :05:38.to change. But some in the industry say the government is missing the
:05:38. > :05:44.point. The fundamental problem with retirement saving at the moment is
:05:44. > :05:48.that people are not saving enough. Whether a defined benefit pension
:05:48. > :05:54.or defined contribution pension, if you do not put enough in, you will
:05:54. > :05:58.not get enough out. Many companies may be sceptical about giving any
:05:58. > :06:04.more future pension guarantees. It is early days, but the debate has
:06:04. > :06:06.now begun. It's one of the world's most
:06:06. > :06:08.reclusive and repressive regimes, and this week North Korea will
:06:08. > :06:12.stage the biggest celebration in its history to commemorate its
:06:12. > :06:14.founding father. The 100th anniversary of the birth of Kim Il
:06:14. > :06:21.Sung will be marked by the launch of a rocket and ceremonies across
:06:21. > :06:23.the country. Our Correspondent Damian Grammaticas is the only
:06:23. > :06:32.British broadcaster allowed inside the country and sent this report

:06:40. > :06:47.Every single one in a crowd of perhaps 100,000. It is the start of
:06:47. > :06:53.a week of celebrations. And the emotion almost sounds exaggerated.
:06:54. > :06:59.North Korea's two dead dictator's, father and son, are worshipped by
:06:59. > :07:03.gods. And its people are urged to give thanks for the way they are
:07:03. > :07:07.told donation has been turned into a powerful and prosperous land.
:07:07. > :07:13.Today few outsiders would recognise the country as powerful or
:07:13. > :07:17.prosperous. But what sustains it is a personality cult built around the
:07:17. > :07:24.Kim dynasty and totalitarian control. As the crowds dispersed we
:07:24. > :07:28.were told we could not talk to any of them. Instead we were brought to
:07:28. > :07:33.this model is silk spinning factory. It has never fired a single worker,
:07:33. > :07:43.I was told. They're also good. Apparently it is down to the

:07:43. > :07:47.generous guidance of the founding president, Kim Il Sung, and his son.

:08:32. > :08:36.as we stopped talking to them, they stopped work. Outside are glimpses
:08:37. > :08:42.of a different North Korea flashing past. We would like to stop and see
:08:42. > :08:48.them but we cannot. There are hints of a less perfect world. The grey
:08:48. > :08:53.monotony of that city. Long queues for the morning tram. The
:08:53. > :08:58.uniformity of it all. Reflections that suggest it is not quite as
:08:58. > :09:00.socialist Paradise. The BBC has been told that the
:09:00. > :09:05.British government approved the rendition of a terrorist suspect to
:09:05. > :09:08.Colonel Gaddafi's regime in Libya in 2004. Evidence emerged last year
:09:08. > :09:13.that MI6 was closely involved in the treatment of Abdel Hakim Belhaj,
:09:13. > :09:16.who claims he was tortured by the Libyans while in prison. Mr Belhaj,
:09:16. > :09:23.who at the time led a group opposed to Gaddafi's regime, is now suing
:09:23. > :09:25.MI6 and the British government. Peter Taylor reports.
:09:25. > :09:32.The story begins with a letter uncovered in the rubble of Libya's
:09:32. > :09:33.bombed spy headquarters, as BBC News reported last year. Successive
:09:33. > :09:38.governments have always insisted they were never complicit in
:09:38. > :09:43.illegal rendition and the torture of terrorist suspects. We can now
:09:44. > :09:51.reveal that may not always have been the case. Unlawful rendition
:09:51. > :09:53.is not something I would approve. The letter was written in March
:09:53. > :10:02.2004 by the senior MI6 officer, Sir Mark Allen, and addressed to Libyan
:10:02. > :10:07.intelligence. Sir Mark congratulated Libyan intelligence
:10:07. > :10:09.on the safe arrival of the air cargo. The air cargo was Abdel
:10:09. > :10:19.Hakim Belhaj, the leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, whom
:10:19. > :10:20.
:10:20. > :10:24.Britain regarded as a terrorist group. When MI6 learnt he was in
:10:24. > :10:30.Malaysia, it tipped off the CIA, who intercepted Mr Belhaj. He was
:10:30. > :10:36.detained in Libya for four years. TRANSLATION: The MI6 service is
:10:36. > :10:40.considered a major player in my arrest. This act has caused me harm
:10:40. > :10:43.and suffering. Sir Mark ends his letter by
:10:43. > :10:49.confirming the intelligence was British. But MI6 does not act
:10:49. > :10:51.unilaterally. Its actions have to be approved by the Government. Jack
:10:51. > :10:55.Straw, the then Foreign Secretary, denied the Government had any
:10:55. > :11:01.involvement. Not only did we not agree with it,
:11:01. > :11:04.we were not complicit. Nor did we turn a blind eye. No Foreign
:11:04. > :11:09.Secretary can know all the details of what its intelligence agencies
:11:09. > :11:18.are doing. I asked to interview Mr Straw but
:11:18. > :11:21.his office said he had nothing further to add. The operations of
:11:21. > :11:30.MI6 must be organised by the government and that authorisation
:11:30. > :11:32.is not always given. I understand that in this case the MI6 action
:11:32. > :11:42.was authorised by the Labour Government. At what level, we do
:11:42. > :11:45.
:11:45. > :11:47.not know. The documentation clearly says that the SIS intelligence made
:11:47. > :11:49.rendition possible was provided by the SAS. Doesn't that indicate we
:11:49. > :11:52.were previously complicit in rendition? This is subject to legal
:11:52. > :11:59.proceedings. It is not possible for a minister to comment. The evidence
:11:59. > :12:05.is there in black and white? have heard some evidence. You are
:12:05. > :12:07.not a judge. You may not have seen all the evidence. Mr Belhaj is now
:12:07. > :12:08.suing Sir Mark Allen and the British Government. Meanwhile, the
:12:08. > :12:16.Metropolitan Police is investigating his allegations. The
:12:16. > :12:26.controversy is far from over. And you can see more on that story

:12:35. > :12:38.Elizabeth. But the vessel, which survived defence spending cuts
:12:38. > :12:46.nearly two years ago, is a long way from completion. James Shaw reports
:12:46. > :12:51.from the Govan shipyard in Glasgow. 4000 tonnes of steel moving inch by

:12:55. > :13:01.carefully planned operation and an important milestone in the building
:13:01. > :13:07.of this ship. The first section of the aircraft carrier is the largest
:13:07. > :13:13.and most complex section and houses much of the machinery spaces, the
:13:13. > :13:19.diesel engines. It also has recreation and galley spaces.
:13:19. > :13:25.Everything about this project is on an enormous scale. Add 280 metres
:13:25. > :13:30.long, the flight deck will be the size of 49 tennis courts. It will
:13:30. > :13:34.have a Croll of almost 1400 and there will be 40 aircraft on board.
:13:34. > :13:39.There is controversy around this ship and her sister vessel. When
:13:39. > :13:42.finished, only one of them will be operational and it is still not
:13:42. > :13:47.known exactly what aircraft there will have. Anything which might
:13:47. > :13:52.increase the cost of this �7 billion programme could be
:13:52. > :14:00.politically embarrassing. But at least today, two parts of the

:14:35. > :14:39.We had just arrived in Cobh, the Titanic's last port of call. It was
