:01:44. > :01:47.Welcome to the BBC News at Six. The Duke and Duchess of Camebridge have
:01:47. > :01:52.taken the rare step of launching legal action against a French
:01:52. > :02:00.magazine who've published pictures of the Duchess topless while
:02:00. > :02:02.holidaying in France. St James's Palace said it was
:02:03. > :02:05.reminiscent of the life of Diana Princess of Wales. It's only the
:02:05. > :02:10.second time in living memory the Royal Family have sued the press.
:02:11. > :02:15.The couple continue their tour of the Middle East. Nick Witchell sent
:02:15. > :02:19.this report from Malaysia. It was a day to be demur. Friday,
:02:19. > :02:22.the Muslim holy day, William and Kate were making their first viz to
:02:22. > :02:25.it a mosque. Kate's head was covered. They both removed their
:02:26. > :02:31.shoes. At that stage, they'd heard about
:02:31. > :02:35.but not seen the photographs. They were said merely to be saddened by
:02:35. > :02:38.the incident. But after they'd left the mosque,
:02:38. > :02:43.officials started to receive copies of what the French magazine had
:02:43. > :02:48.published and the intensity of the reaction sudden by changed. Instead
:02:48. > :02:52.of sadness, there was fury. Stay 24... Officials who're used to
:02:52. > :02:56.dealing with the media started talking about a red line having
:02:56. > :03:06.been crossed. William instructed his spokesman to issue an official
:03:06. > :03:22.
:03:22. > :03:26.William and Kate had gone last week for four days to a chateau in
:03:26. > :03:29.France owned by his cousin viscount Linley. It is extremely secluded,
:03:29. > :03:32.according to officials, and yet, unknown to the couple, a
:03:32. > :03:36.photographer was staking the place out.
:03:36. > :03:41.The photographs were published this morning in a French gossip magazine
:03:41. > :03:44.on the front and five inside pages. The magazine's editor appeared not
:03:44. > :03:50.to understand what the fuss was about.
:03:50. > :03:53.TRANSLATION: One shouldn't dram tiez these pictures. The reactions
:03:53. > :04:00.are a little disproportionate. What we saw many the pictures was a
:04:00. > :04:03.young couple that have just married who're in love, who're beautiful.
:04:03. > :04:06.The relationship Diana Princess of Wales had with the press was a
:04:06. > :04:12.complicated one. Her friends say she was constantly hounded and the
:04:12. > :04:16.same thing must not be allowed to happen to Kate. I have seen what
:04:17. > :04:21.damage is done by a constant intrusion into your life, how
:04:21. > :04:25.impossible it is to relax and have downtime if you've always got in
:04:25. > :04:31.the back of your mind perhaps there's a Kampusch ra there. These
:04:31. > :04:34.people are humans. Yes they are the Royal Family and lead a life of
:04:34. > :04:39.immense privilege but they should be allowed to have complete privacy
:04:39. > :04:43.when not doing their duty. Tonight, William and Kate left Kuala Lumpur.
:04:43. > :04:47.Kate look composed, William looked preoccupied. He and his advisers
:04:47. > :04:52.must now decide whether to sue the French magazine under France's
:04:52. > :04:58.strict privacy laws. Tonight, after a day of real anger
:04:58. > :05:02.here and close consultations with lawyers in Paris, the confirmation
:05:02. > :05:07.that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are to take action and
:05:07. > :05:12.sue the French magazine in the French courts for a breach of their
:05:12. > :05:15.privacy. British newspapers were offered the
:05:15. > :05:18.controversial pictures but chose not to publish them. Just a few
:05:18. > :05:22.weeks ago, prince marry was photographed naked at a party in
:05:22. > :05:27.Las Vegas and those images were proproduced in the Sun newspaper.
:05:27. > :05:31.This time, Buckingham Palace says a red line has been crossed. Nike
:05:31. > :05:35.Higham reports. She's beautiful, elegant and
:05:35. > :05:39.constantly on camera. It's her role to be photographed. But some
:05:39. > :05:44.pictures of Kate are simply beyond the pale according to the palace. A
:05:44. > :05:48.French magazine may have published topless photos, but Lord Justice
:05:48. > :05:49.Leveson's report due in November, the British Press will think long
:05:50. > :05:53.and hard before following the French lead.
:05:53. > :05:57.The Sun today said it had no intention of publishing the photos.
:05:57. > :06:03.Yet it did print pictures of Prince Harry naked in a Las Vegas hotel
:06:03. > :06:07.room, the only paper to do so. He was at least partly to blame for
:06:07. > :06:12.what happened, unlike William and Kate and the paper invoked public
:06:12. > :06:17.interest. That hardly applies here. A public interest is usually
:06:17. > :06:21.defined as exposing crime, hypocrisy. Clearly that doesn't
:06:21. > :06:24.apply. If the Duchess had been on a public beach in a public place,
:06:24. > :06:28.then we are talking about a different thing because she would
:06:28. > :06:32.have chose tonne be in a public place. She chose to be in a private
:06:32. > :06:36.place so they're almost certainly private photographs. In London
:06:36. > :06:40.today, people were sympathetic. have been there before with
:06:40. > :06:44.Princess Diana and I think it should be addressed. The poor girl
:06:44. > :06:47.will be afraid to take her socks off anywhere she goes now. What
:06:47. > :06:50.pictures British newspapers choose to publish is increasingly
:06:51. > :06:55.irrelevant in a world of social media and the global Internet. The
:06:55. > :07:01.law too is struggling to keep ufplt I think the geneny is out the
:07:01. > :07:07.bottle. We live in an international environment. We have social media
:07:07. > :07:13.that is so different to how things were ten or 15 years ago and news
:07:13. > :07:17.spreads fast and photographs are published almost instantly.
:07:17. > :07:21.This French paparazzi says he can't understand the British tabloid
:07:21. > :07:25.refusal to publish. I mean, it's so stupid. She's a young lady. She's
:07:25. > :07:33.nice. She's not fat. She's beautiful. So you have to show them.
:07:33. > :07:38.Are you going to show the pictures on your programme? Of course not.
:07:38. > :07:41.So it's a kind of hypocrisy - very British. The pressure from the
:07:41. > :07:46.palace combined with public sympathy for Kate and a press made
:07:46. > :07:50.ultra--cautious in the run up to Lord Justice Leveson's report means
:07:50. > :07:53.these photos are highly unlikely to be published by a British newspaper
:07:53. > :07:56.or magazine, but that won't stop the paparazzi taking them and
:07:56. > :08:01.selling them abroad. It won't stop anyone with a mobile phone taking
:08:01. > :08:06.them and sharing them with their friends and it won't stop anyone
:08:06. > :08:10.looking at them online. Demonstrators have attempted to
:08:10. > :08:14.storm the British and German Embassies in the Sudanese capital
:08:14. > :08:17.Khartoum in protest against an amateur film made in America which
:08:17. > :08:21.mocks the Prophet Mohammed. Demonstrations about the film have
:08:21. > :08:26.swept across many countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Our
:08:26. > :08:31.Diplomatic Correspondent, Bridget Kendall, has the latest.
:08:31. > :08:36.An attack today on the British and German Embassies in Sudan's capital,
:08:36. > :08:39.Khartoum. The crowds couldn't breach the high
:08:40. > :08:44.walls of the British compound but at the German Embassy, police
:08:44. > :08:49.couldn't hold them back. The angry anti-American mood in the Muslim
:08:50. > :08:54.world has spread. They broke through to scale the
:08:54. > :09:00.embassy's walls, smash windows and set fire to the compound.

:09:16. > :09:21.Mounting fury to the amateurish film out of California whose
:09:21. > :09:27.offences comments about the Prophet Mohammed were seen as blasphemous
:09:27. > :09:31.and deeply insulted to -- insulting to Muslims. I condemn the anti-
:09:31. > :09:36.Islamic video. Still, this cannot be a justification for the outbreak
:09:36. > :09:39.of violence, this violence must stop immediately.
:09:39. > :09:43.This week's protests first grabbed the world's attention in Libya
:09:43. > :09:47.where an armed mob killed American diplomats. By then, violent
:09:48. > :09:52.protests were also building in Egypt and in Yemen an angry crowd
:09:52. > :09:58.pre-ly broke into the US mission. Today, the unrest spread further
:09:58. > :10:03.with attacks in Khartoum and Tunis and protests in Lebanon, Turkey,
:10:03. > :10:07.Kenya and Nigeria. Further east in Afghanistan, India, Indonesia,
:10:07. > :10:12.Malaysia and Bangladesh. It's in Egypt that the protests
:10:12. > :10:15.have been biggest, from early morning today in central Cairo
:10:15. > :10:20.demonstrators confronted riot police, violent clashes for the
:10:21. > :10:25.fourth day running. Tear gas dispersed the protesters and cement
:10:25. > :10:29.barriers blocked access to the US Embassy. Elsewhere, like here in
:10:30. > :10:33.Bangladesh where crowds gathered after Friday prayers, many protests
:10:33. > :10:36.though angry were peaceful or heavily controlled by Security
:10:36. > :10:41.Forces. What's not clear is whether this

:11:19. > :11:23.was discovered in a burnt out car in a field close to the A583 near
:11:23. > :11:26.Ilminster. Two other men have been eliminated from the inquiry. The
:11:26. > :11:30.Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, has criticised the Chief Constable
:11:30. > :11:33.of West Yorkshire for making what he called ill-judged and
:11:33. > :11:36.insensitive comments about the Hillsborough disaster. Yesterday,
:11:36. > :11:41.Sir Norman Bettison said the behaviour of Liverpool fans impeded
:11:41. > :11:43.the work of police at the stadium in 199. Sir Norman, who was
:11:43. > :11:46.involved in South Yorkshire police's internal investigation
:11:46. > :11:50.into the disaster, has denied asking officers to manipulate their
:11:50. > :11:53.reports to shift the blame on to Liverpool fans.
:11:53. > :11:57.Danny Savage is outside the headquarters of West Yorkshire
:11:57. > :12:01.police in Wakefield. Mr Bettison clarified his statement today. Has
:12:01. > :12:05.that done enough to satisfy the families of those who died at
:12:05. > :12:07.Hillsborough? Well, the origins of this row were
:12:07. > :12:10.yesterday when Sir Norman Bettison made that statement about his
:12:10. > :12:14.involvement, saying that he didn't have anything to hide. He then did
:12:14. > :12:18.go on to say that the fans made the job of the police harder than it
:12:18. > :12:21.needed to be. The Deputy Prime Minister called those comments
:12:21. > :12:26.insensitive today and told him to clarify what he had to say. He did
:12:26. > :12:31.that very promptly and he did say that the fans of Liverpool were in
:12:31. > :12:35.no way to blame. "I'm sorry if my earlier statement caused further
:12:36. > :12:40.upset. My role was never to besmirch the fans there". There are
:12:40. > :12:45.still plenty of people calming for his resignation, especially those
:12:45. > :12:48.concerned with the Hillsborough disaster. One other thing, the
:12:48. > :12:50.Chief Constable of South Yorkshire has outlined the charges that South
:12:50. > :12:54.Yorkshire police may end up faceling in the wake of the
:12:54. > :12:57.revelations this week, saying there could be the potential for
:12:57. > :13:01.corporate manslaughter charges, the possibility of manslaughter
:13:01. > :13:05.investigations against individuals and a look at possible misconduct
:13:05. > :13:11.in office. This really does underline the serious charges which
:13:11. > :13:16.could follow on from this Hillsborough inquiry this week.
:13:16. > :13:19.A city trader who lost �1.4 billion of his firm's money in high risk
:13:20. > :13:25.trades went on trial today. The jury heard that Kweku Adoboli
:13:25. > :13:30.exceeded his trading limits at UBS in a bid to get a bigger bonus and
:13:30. > :13:33.boost his ego. The Swiss Bank's share price dropped by 10% as a
:13:33. > :13:37.result of his actions says the prosecution. He denies charges of
:13:38. > :13:43.fraud and false accounting. Emma Simpson reports from Southwark
:13:43. > :13:48.Crown Court. Kweku Adoboli, the City trader
:13:48. > :13:52.accused today of being a gambler two a way from destroying
:13:52. > :13:55.Switzerland's largest bank. The court heard he racked up huge
:13:56. > :14:01.losses through dodgy deals and deceit, a greedy banker out of
:14:01. > :14:04.control and out for himself. He worked for UBS, a global
:14:04. > :14:08.investment bank. The jury heard he joined as a graduate trainee,
:14:08. > :14:14.rising through the ranks here in London to become a senior trusted
:14:14. > :14:17.member of the bank's trading team. But he cheated the system since
:14:17. > :14:21.2008. The prosecution claim that Mr
:14:21. > :14:26.Adoboli exceeded trading limits, falsified records to balance the
:14:26. > :14:30.books, as well as inventing income and clients.
:14:30. > :14:34.The court heard that Mr Adoboli's luck ran out at the start of last
:14:34. > :14:39.summer when losses started to spiral. The prosecution barrister,
:14:39. > :14:43.Sasha Wass QC told the court that he was throwing money wildly into
:14:43. > :14:47.the market, hoping to dig himself out of the mess. Like most gamblers,
:14:47. > :14:50.she said, he believed he had the magic touch, like most gamblers
:14:50. > :14:57.when he lost, he caused chaos and disaster.
:14:57. > :15:03.The court heard that at one point, Kweku Adoboli had exposed this bank
:15:03. > :15:07.to potential losses of more than �7 billion, putting its very existence
:15:07. > :15:10.at risk. It was only when things started to unravel and questions
:15:10. > :15:15.were being asked that he finally revealed what he had done.

:15:28. > :15:32.The prosecution claims he acted alone and later changed his story
:15:32. > :15:37.to implicate colleagues. The court heard that Kweku Adoboli's defence
:15:37. > :15:41.will argue that the bank's management were complicit in this

:20:20. > :20:25.Wales. Plaid Cymru came third behind the Conservatives at the
:20:25. > :20:28.last Welsh election. They are trying to recover break the party's
:20:28. > :20:33.message and car felt some new turf. We didn't hear the word
:20:33. > :20:37.independence mentioned, nothing of the Welsh language and culture. The
:20:37. > :20:41.focus was on the economy, on slamming Westminster's public
:20:41. > :20:47.spending cuts, questioning Labour's contribution in Cardiff Bay and
:20:47. > :20:51.offering voters Kitts Green at New Deal. What Leanne Wood is saying it
:20:51. > :20:56.OK, you don't support independence for now in Wales, you think Wales
:20:56. > :21:00.is to pour, it is, but give us your vote and we can prove that in
:21:00. > :21:07.future Wales could be better off and therefore independence could be
:21:07. > :21:11.a realistic prospect. The next Welsh elections are not until 2016
:21:11. > :21:17.so Leanne Wood will be keenly aware that by then, she will have to find
:21:17. > :21:20.many ways of closing this new deal with Welsh voters. Thank you.
:21:20. > :21:22.Thousands of people lined the streets of Glasgow this afternoon
:21:22. > :21:26.as Scotland's Olympic and Paralympic heroes took part in an
:21:26. > :21:29.official victory parade. Sir Chris Hoy spoke of his joy at being part
:21:29. > :21:32.of the record-breaking team. In the last few minutes, a similar parade
:21:33. > :21:42.has been taking place in Cardiff. Let's go live now to our Scotland

:21:46. > :21:51.getting under way now. The celebrations here in Glasgow have
:21:51. > :21:55.been going on all afternoon. Scotland, as part of Jean bit --
:21:55. > :21:59.Team GB, punched above its weight at these Olympics and thousands
:21:59. > :22:04.turned out on the streets of Glasgow this afternoon to celebrate,
:22:04. > :22:10.to salute that incredible sporting achievement.
:22:10. > :22:14.It is Scotland's turn to celebrate its summer sporting heroes. And in
:22:14. > :22:20.the country's biggest city, Glasgow, the weather cleared as crowds
:22:20. > :22:26.gathered to welcome the athletes back home. Their medals, once again,
:22:26. > :22:30.on display. Unbelievable reception, everybody has been cheering and
:22:30. > :22:35.waving and asking for autographs. Such is hugely emotional day for
:22:35. > :22:39.everybody to see the support we have had. It really has been a
:22:39. > :22:43.nationwide gains, not just the London Games. The sporting action
:22:43. > :22:47.centred on London, but their successes were closely followed
:22:47. > :22:51.here and 1,000 showed their pride in what had been achieved. It has
:22:51. > :22:56.been a wonderful event for the whole of Britain and to see of the
:22:56. > :23:05.Scots who have done so well, it has been wonderful. For ease guys made
:23:05. > :23:11.it, so they did. -- V's guys. A quarter of the medals from Scotland.
:23:11. > :23:16.This was about celebrating Scottish Olympians and Paralympians win as,
:23:16. > :23:23.too. Side by side and cheered by all. For and plastic to be back in
:23:23. > :23:27.Glasgow and to have the crowds coming down. -- fantastic.
:23:27. > :23:34.celebrating a great summer of sport and hoping to build on the success
:23:34. > :23:40.with the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014.
:23:40. > :23:44.Those last few months of sport topped off, of course, with Andy
:23:44. > :23:49.Murray, a gold medallist, winning a Grand Slam earlier this week at the
:23:49. > :23:53.US Open. It was hoped he would be here this afternoon, but he is said
:23:53. > :23:56.to be exhausted after four months of tennis and he is said to be
:23:56. > :24:01.devastated that he didn't make it to what turned out to be a very
:24:01. > :24:04.special afternoon at of Olympic celebrations.
:24:04. > :24:08.Discovering a new painting by one of the world's most renowned
:24:08. > :24:10.artists is something experts dream of yet happens rarely. But cutting
:24:10. > :24:13.edge forensic techniques are making it possible to establish the
:24:14. > :24:16.authenticity of pictures in ways not thought possible before. As a
:24:16. > :24:21.result, paintings by some of the great masters that were either
:24:21. > :24:31.unknown or considered fakes are now being re-evaluated. I followed the
:24:31. > :24:33.
:24:33. > :24:37.investigation of a painting by one Blue Dancers, a painting by one of
:24:37. > :24:42.the great Impressionist master's, Edgar Degas. At least it was until
:24:42. > :24:46.the 1950s, when the foremost Degas expert decided it was fake. Its
:24:46. > :24:51.owners were left holding a painting once extremely valuable, now worth
:24:51. > :24:56.a few hundred pounds at best. What didn't he like about the painting?
:24:56. > :25:02.A few things. The face of the dancer, which he called trivial.
:25:02. > :25:06.The position of it, he said it was not a formal pose. And for
:25:06. > :25:11.draughtsmanship at the head. Paintings like those at the Musee
:25:11. > :25:16.d'Orsay in Paris at Degas are the most sought-after and fakes are
:25:16. > :25:21.common. After lengthy investigation, it is possible to trace the bills
:25:21. > :25:25.of sale of the Blue Dancers back to the moment it left the studio in
:25:25. > :25:30.1882. But today's Blue dancer could have been a later copied of the
:25:30. > :25:34.genuine work. Art experts Philip Mould took up painting to be tested
:25:34. > :25:40.for the precise pigments used. You're going for the bonnet of the
:25:40. > :25:44.dancer. Yes. It is the most obvious area. If there is detain him white
:25:44. > :25:52.in the painting, used only after Degas's death, the painting had to
:25:52. > :25:56.be fake. This is very encouraging. The main elements found on lead,
:25:56. > :26:03.which is good because it indicates that lead White was used and not
:26:03. > :26:09.titanium. As opposed to the dreaded titanium? Yet. What about the
:26:09. > :26:13.criticisms about the positions of the dancer? In one of the rehearsal
:26:13. > :26:21.rooms at the Paris Opera House where Degas loved to paint, a
:26:21. > :26:29.ballerina tries to recreate the pose. Looking down, facing forward?
:26:29. > :26:34.That is exactly it. That is it. The new evidence about the Blue Dancers
:26:34. > :26:38.was enough to persuade the world's foremost Degas authority that the
:26:38. > :26:42.painting is genuine. Brace yourselves. We have the pleasure to
:26:42. > :26:50.inform you that the painting described below fair to have
:26:50. > :26:57.submitted is an authentic work by Edgar Degas. Fantastic. Real lesson
:26:57. > :27:02.in not giving up. Blue dancer can now take its place in galleries
:27:02. > :27:06.around the world. A painting rediscovered, recognised as from
:27:06. > :27:10.the brush of one of the finest Impressionist masters.
:27:10. > :27:11.And you can see more on that story on "Fake or Fortune" on BBC One
:27:11. > :27:17.on "Fake or Fortune" on BBC One this Sunday at 6.30pm.
:27:17. > :27:21.Let's take a look at the weather now with Alex Deakin.
:27:21. > :27:26.Most places having a decent day tomorrow. It will be chilly first
:27:26. > :27:31.thing, but a bright and breezy Saturday across the UK. Not as
:27:31. > :27:37.windy as today. As for Sunday, more on that in a moment. Some rain in
:27:37. > :27:40.the forecast. Tonight it is dry. Of the winds are dying down. One or
:27:40. > :27:45.two scattered showers over north- west England and north-west
:27:45. > :27:51.Scotland, but for most it is a dry night. It will turn chilly. One or
:27:51. > :27:58.two mist and fog patches forming, too. In rural areas, temperatures
:27:58. > :28:02.as low as five Celsius. The mist and fog clears away and then it
:28:02. > :28:08.will be a fine day. Across eastern areas, we should hang on to the
:28:08. > :28:13.sunny spells. In the West, there will be a bit more cloud. Maybe
:28:13. > :28:16.even a spot of drizzle, but the north-east Scotland, a fine day.
:28:16. > :28:20.Temperatures might reach 20 Celsius on the Moray Firth. Bright and
:28:20. > :28:26.breezy with sunny spells in Northern Ireland. Have more cloud
:28:26. > :28:30.in north-west England and North Wales. Maybe a spot of drizzle.
:28:30. > :28:36.Inland, we should see sunny spells and further east, feeling warmer
:28:36. > :28:39.than today because the winds will be lighter. Up it will be a dry
:28:40. > :28:45.Saturday evening foremost, but we will start to see a change in the
:28:45. > :28:50.north-west. Wet weather pushing him. First thing on Sunday, a grey start
:28:50. > :28:53.across southern Scotland. That rain edging across northern England and
:28:53. > :28:58.eventually into the Midlands. Many southern and eastern counties
:28:58. > :29:01.staying bright until late in the day. In summary, Saturday is fairly
