:02:43. > :02:48.the end of an investigation and prosecution that has taken over 20
:02:48. > :02:53.years. Asil Nadir has been found guilty of stealing millions from
:02:53. > :02:58.the company he built. Polly Peck became Polly Peck International plc.
:02:58. > :03:05.In 1980 he paid nearly �300,000 for a stake in a small textiles company
:03:05. > :03:15.called Polly Peck. 10 years later, it had 200 subsidiaries worldwide,
:03:15. > :03:16.
:03:16. > :03:21.By 1990, Polly Peck was worth �2 billion. Things started to go wrong
:03:21. > :03:26.for Asil Nadir that year. The Serious Fraud Office raided both
:03:26. > :03:29.his and Polly Peck's offices in Mayfair. It was investigating
:03:30. > :03:34.allegations of insider trading. After the first raid, the share
:03:34. > :03:40.price collapsed. The company went into administration and in December
:03:40. > :03:45.1990, Asil Nadir was arrested. He was eventually charged with 13
:03:45. > :03:49.counts of theft, amounting to �34 million, from Polly Peck
:03:49. > :03:54.International. Today, the jury found him not guilty on one count,
:03:54. > :03:59.of stealing �2.5 million. But so far, it has found him guilty of the
:03:59. > :04:05.theft of �1.3 million used to support the Polly Peck's share
:04:05. > :04:09.price. �1 million used to buy antiques. And 3.2 5 million which
:04:09. > :04:13.went to multiple destinations and companies. The man who had
:04:13. > :04:20.everything, and epitomise the growth and success of a decade, has
:04:20. > :04:27.lost it all. Nine account still to go, what has
:04:27. > :04:31.been his defence? -- nine accounts. He never denied that he took after
:04:31. > :04:35.amount of cash from Polly Peck business accounts in London, but
:04:35. > :04:40.his defence was a simple one, but before any money went from London,
:04:40. > :04:43.he had put a similar amount of money into Polly Peck's bank
:04:43. > :04:48.accounts in northern Cyprus. So they could never have been any
:04:48. > :04:52.theft. He was saying, don't accuse me of taking �10 from the cash till
:04:52. > :04:57.when I have just put �10 in. In relation to those three counts on
:04:57. > :04:59.which she was found guilty, the jury simply didn't believe that.

:05:53. > :05:56.during a short visit to Cowes on the Isle of Wight that doctors
:05:56. > :06:00.diagnosed a recurrence of the bladder infection that had
:06:00. > :06:05.hospitalised him in June. The Duke had appeared in good health at a
:06:05. > :06:07.garden party in Balmoral. He was told to rest while doctors at

:06:32. > :06:36.taken by helicopter to a hospital near Cambridge to be treated for a
:06:36. > :06:40.blocked coronary artery. On that occasion, the Queen and the

:06:48. > :06:52.the one place where the Royal Family really can rest and

:16:55. > :16:56.
:16:56. > :17:00.reports. The lawyers ran the gauntlet today. This has been
:17:00. > :17:04.China's most sensational case in decades - the murder of a British
:17:05. > :17:09.man by one of China's most powerful women. Gu Kailai's crime has
:17:09. > :17:13.already cost her husband, one of the Communist Party's most senior
:17:13. > :17:19.figures, his job and plunged the party into crisis. She's confessed
:17:19. > :17:22.to poisoning Neil Heywood. Today the judges confirmed her guilt.
:17:22. > :17:27.Usually that would mean execution, but she's powerful and well
:17:27. > :17:34.connected. The death penalty was suspended. The judges said she'd
:17:34. > :17:38.suffered a breakdown and wasn't in control of her actions.
:17:38. > :17:43.TRANSLATION: This verdict is just. It shows special respect for the
:17:43. > :17:46.law, reality and life. British Embassy officials looked on as an
:17:46. > :17:50.element of theatre tulle of this. The Communist Party controls the
:17:50. > :17:55.courts, decides the outcomes. The embassy gave the result a guarded

:17:59. > :18:03.Heywood's family emerged. Excuse me. Is this a result that'll
:18:03. > :18:10.please the Neil Heywood family? "I don't know," he said. Neil Heywood
:18:10. > :18:15.was lives in China doing business trading on his connection to the
:18:15. > :18:23.powerful politician Bo Xilai making deals for Gu Kailai. The two fell
:18:23. > :18:27.out over a property venture. Neil Heywood demanded millions he'd been
:18:27. > :18:30.promised. She lured him here, got him drunk and poured cyanide
:18:30. > :18:34.hydrochloride into his mouth. What the trial didn't address were the
:18:34. > :18:37.most sensitive questions of the death. It triggered China's biggest
:18:37. > :18:41.political scandal in years because of the light it's thrown on
:18:41. > :18:45.corruption and abuse of power at the top of the Communist Party.
:18:45. > :18:52.Did her husband, Bo Xilai, have any link to the crime or the attempted

:19:13. > :19:17.here are outraged that Gu Kailai has escaped the death penalty. What

:20:50. > :20:54.dangerous dogs, so therefore I don't think the tougher jail
:20:54. > :20:59.sentence is going to matter that much. According to the Government
:20:59. > :21:03.in England, there are over 200,000 attacks by dogs every year. The new
:21:03. > :21:07.sentencing guidance recommends up to 18 months in prison for anyone
:21:07. > :21:10.who allows their dog to injure someone in public. That's about a
:21:10. > :21:15.six-month increase on practising. The guidelines in England and Wales
:21:15. > :21:18.says owners who have banned dogs should be given up to six months in
:21:18. > :21:22.jail. With the vast increase in the numbers of offences coming before
:21:22. > :21:26.the court and more serious ones, there was an appetite for more
:21:26. > :21:30.serious sentence to be imposed. Dogs can be brutal. This police
:21:30. > :21:34.officer was one of five injured earlier this year as they tried to

:21:51. > :21:55.He's amazing with the kids. There are people who would say, listen,
:21:55. > :22:02.you shouldn't have a dog unsupervised with kids. I don't
:22:02. > :22:07.have it unsupervised. I am there. Most pets will remain on their best
:22:07. > :22:09.behaviour, but their owners face a greater threat of jail if they
:22:09. > :22:12.don't. Cricket, and England have lost
:22:12. > :22:15.their ranking as the world's number one Test side after losing by 51
:22:15. > :22:18.runs in the third Test to South Africa. Andrew Strauss' side missed
:22:18. > :22:20.their target of 346 to win despite a valiant effort by Matt Prior,
:22:20. > :22:28.Jonathan Trott and Jonny Bairstow. Our sports correspondent James
:22:28. > :22:32.Pearce is at Lords for us. In the end, was it close, James?
:22:32. > :22:37.It was much closer than South Africa would have liked. It was a
:22:37. > :22:42.thrilling finish to what has been a truly outstanding series with the
:22:42. > :22:46.world's best two teams. No-one paid more than �20 to come in here today.
:22:46. > :22:50.They all had a bargain. For cricket fans, the Lord's bell provides one
:22:50. > :22:54.of the sounds of summer, but just as the season is drawing to a close,
:22:54. > :22:59.so, it seemed, was England's reigns a the world's best team. Two
:22:59. > :23:05.wickets down before the start of play, the hosts were always up
:23:05. > :23:10.against it. Edged - oh, he's got it on the second grab. Bell's early
:23:10. > :23:13.departure made the job even more difficult. Defeat, then, looked
:23:13. > :23:19.inevitable when some chaotic running cost England another wicket
:23:19. > :23:24.before they'd even reached 50. Taylor and Trott had already taken
:23:24. > :23:27.three. Taylor wanted a fourth. The result: a long walk back to the
:23:27. > :23:29.pavilion. That wasn't in the batting coaching's manual, but this
:23:29. > :23:34.was. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:23:34. > :23:39.That's gone a long way. England by this stage six Wecht wickets down
:23:39. > :23:44.took the only option available - they hit out. Even then, it looked
:23:44. > :23:48.to be a forlorn run chase when Stuart Broad was caught on a
:23:48. > :23:52.boundary and England still needed another 138 to win. Graeme Swann,
:23:52. > :24:00.though, had other ideas. The ball was being dispatched all over the
:24:00. > :24:06.ground, but England couldn't quite reach their target. Prior's was the
:24:06. > :24:12.ninth wicket to fall. Agony and ecstasy captured together in the
:24:12. > :24:18.stands. Moments later the South African celebrations could begin in
:24:19. > :24:22.earnest. They'd beaten England by 51 runs and won the series 2-0. A
:24:22. > :24:25.disappointing end for England. Couple of hours this afternoon, it
:24:25. > :24:30.really looked as though they could make history with the highest ever
:24:31. > :24:34.run chase here at Lord's, but now having lost that number one Test
:24:34. > :24:39.ranking they head to Sri Lanka next month hoping to hold on to
:24:39. > :24:42.something else - that's the Twenty/20 World Cup.
:24:42. > :24:44.Thank you very much. It was the hit of the '80s, the
:24:44. > :24:47.must-watch TV series with unforgettable characters like JR
:24:47. > :24:50.and his wife Sue Ellen. Now after 21 years, the all American soap
:24:50. > :24:53.Dallas is making a comeback. Many of the orginal cast - including
:24:54. > :24:57.Larry Hagman and Linda Gray - are returning for the new show. But can
:24:57. > :25:07.it win over a new generation of fans? Lizo Mzimba has been finding
:25:07. > :25:07.
:25:07. > :25:16.It was probably the biggest show of the 1980s. Now Dallas, together
:25:16. > :25:19.with its most famous star, is back. Larry Hagman's reasons - not unlike
:25:19. > :25:23.those that motivated J using himself... Money - always good to
:25:23. > :25:26.change your mind. Also, what made you think their
:25:26. > :25:31.approach with this was right for you so you wanted to be involved?
:25:31. > :25:35.Well, the thing was to integrate the children and make them
:25:35. > :25:44.acceptable and interesting, and that will be the main focus of it,
:25:44. > :25:47.I'm sure, eventually. It's part of TV history. The "Who shot JR" story
:25:48. > :25:52.line attracted an worldwide audience in excess of a hundred
:25:52. > :25:56.million. So for its new main star, the expectation to deliver is
:25:56. > :26:01.considerable. How much pressure do you feel? When I got the show, it
:26:01. > :26:05.was a - it was - I was excited, but I was also very intimidated knowing
:26:05. > :26:08.we're bringing back a show that was such a big deal and so well
:26:08. > :26:16.perceived, so I knew there was probably also a lot of expectation
:26:17. > :26:19.as to who was JR and Sue Ellen's son now? John Ross, I know I had
:26:19. > :26:28.made mistakes. Some are sceptical about the wisdom of bringing back
:26:28. > :26:30.such a well-loved show. The new version will inevitably be
:26:31. > :26:33.forensically compared with its former self and I am afraid will
:26:33. > :26:40.almost certainly be found wanting. That's the problem. It won't be as
:26:40. > :26:46.good as it used to be. Of course, ultimately, it will be the viewers
:26:46. > :26:50.who decide whether it really can attract a new audience of 21st
:26:50. > :26:59.century fans. I am sick to death of this family devouring itself over
:26:59. > :27:05.Time for the weather now. Not a bad day for most parts of the
:27:05. > :27:09.UK, but there have been one or two exceptions. Sunshine breaking over
:27:09. > :27:11.nicely across England and Wales, but clear spells mean it will turn
:27:11. > :27:16.misty overnight. We have had showers developing recently
:27:16. > :27:21.particularly across Scotland, where they're going to be thundery for a
:27:21. > :27:26.time. They should ease overnight, so most places ending up dry for
:27:26. > :27:29.the early hour of the morning. It's not autumn yet. Don't worry.
:27:30. > :27:33.Temperatures ending up in the mid teens most places. Muggy in the
:27:33. > :27:36.south-east. Tomorrow, showers get going across Scotland and Northern
:27:36. > :27:41.Ireland, western England and Wales as well. Further east, a better
:27:41. > :27:45.chance of staying dry, but disappointingly cloudy for a good
:27:45. > :27:48.part of the day. A good sharp shower across many parts of Wales,
:27:48. > :27:52.but you could manage to stay dry. You could catch a downpour across
:27:52. > :27:58.Northern Ireland and Scotland for the afternoon - enough to cause one
:27:58. > :28:01.or two problems. As we come further south we lose the heaviest of the
:28:01. > :28:05.showers. The odd sharp shower across north-west England. Come
:28:05. > :28:11.further south-east, you're back into the dry conditions again -
:28:11. > :28:19.almost dry. I can't rule out a spot or two of rain from the cloud in
:28:19. > :28:24.East Anglia - annoying rather than anything else. Temperatures
:28:24. > :28:29.struggling a bit under the cloud. One or two heavy showers in the
:28:29. > :28:33.north-west. Wednesday, the further north and west you are, a shower,
:28:33. > :28:38.the further north and east, more sunshine. Into Thursday, again,
:28:38. > :28:41.it's southern and eastern glears get the best of the deal in terms
:28:41. > :28:47.of sunshine, but notice rain beginning to gather in the west.
