:00:26. > :00:30.I did fail. I believe that the system, as a whole, seems not to

:00:35. > :00:38.closed down. Lawyers say more victims are going public. Now,
:00:38. > :00:41.because they recognise that others have suffered in a similar way,

:01:54. > :01:58.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. The Director-General
:01:58. > :02:02.of the BBC faced a grilling from MPs today over the Jimmy Savile sex
:02:02. > :02:04.abuse scandal. In more than two hours of questioning, George
:02:04. > :02:09.Entwistle admitted that the Corporation's handling of the
:02:09. > :02:13.affair, both now and in the past, has raised questions of trust in
:02:13. > :02:17.the BBC. He said a Newsnight investigation should not have been
:02:17. > :02:24.dropped. But, he denied that he had failed personally and blamed what
:02:24. > :02:28.he called the BBC "system". Our home editor watched the exchanges.
:02:28. > :02:32.With his organisation in crisis, the director-general of the BBC
:02:32. > :02:36.entered Parliament this morning through a back entrance. In front
:02:36. > :02:41.of a special session of the Culture Committee, George Entwistle
:02:41. > :02:45.admitted the Savile scandal posed seer yousz questions for the
:02:45. > :02:52.Corporation about trust. One cannot look back at it with anything other
:02:52. > :02:57.than horror, frankly, that he - his activities went on as long as they
:02:57. > :03:02.did undetected. MPs wanted to know about the Savile years, the decades
:03:02. > :03:06.during which one of the BBC's star presenters was able to abuse young
:03:06. > :03:11.girls apparently unchallenged. Were there other sexual predators
:03:11. > :03:16.operating inside the Corporation? There was an allegation there was a
:03:16. > :03:19.paedophile-ring at the BBC. Have the BBC taken steps to identify who
:03:19. > :03:23.else was involved in that paedophile-ring? That is an
:03:23. > :03:28.allegation I have seen made in the last few days. It's something that
:03:28. > :03:30.we are putting our resources at the disposal of the police in. A
:03:30. > :03:35.paedophile-ring woor would be the matter for a police investigation.
:03:35. > :03:39.-- would be matter for the police investigation. He said the scandal
:03:39. > :03:45.had exposed the "disgusting criminal activities of Jimmy Savile
:03:45. > :03:52.and serious allegations of sexual abuse and harassment involving
:03:52. > :03:58.other BBC staff ." Some cases have been passed to police. The number
:03:58. > :04:05.of allegations we are looking at, at the moment, is, this is
:04:05. > :04:09.historical, I would have thought, between eight and ten. Individuals,
:04:10. > :04:14.not individual cases? individuals. The BBC's Director-
:04:14. > :04:19.General said he looked back with horror as evidence emerged of the
:04:19. > :04:24.cultural practices which allowed a predatory paedophile to sexually
:04:24. > :04:27.abuse children on BBC premises. As well as the criminal activities of
:04:27. > :04:31.individuals like Jimmy Savile, George Entwistle talked about the
:04:31. > :04:36.culture of sexual harassment. He said while things have improved, he
:04:36. > :04:39.is bringing in a new adviser to ensure that women at the BBC are
:04:39. > :04:43.treated properly. There were questions today about why tributes
:04:43. > :04:47.to Jimmy Savile were broadcast, even after BBC News night had
:04:47. > :04:51.launched an investigation into the star? At an awards lunch, here at
:04:51. > :04:56.the London Hilton last December, George Entwistle was warned about
:04:56. > :05:00.the possible story by Head of News, Helen Boaden, but didn't ask what
:05:00. > :05:04.the investigation was about. are told that one of the flagship
:05:04. > :05:08.investigative programmes on the BBC is looking into one of the most
:05:08. > :05:13.iconic figures, who you are about to commission huge tributes to, you
:05:13. > :05:19.don't want to know what it is? wasn't that I didn't want to know.
:05:19. > :05:26.What was in my mind was this determination not to show an undue
:05:26. > :05:30.interest. You didn't even ato her "what's it about?" I have no
:05:30. > :05:38.recollection of asking her what it was about. The Newsnight
:05:38. > :05:42.investigation was never broadcast leading to accusations of a cover-
:05:42. > :05:45.up. Do you now accept, in the light of last night's Panorama, that the
:05:46. > :05:51.decision to drop the Newsnight investigation was a catastrophic
:05:51. > :05:57.mistake? I came away from the Panorama firmly of the view that
:05:57. > :06:05.that investigation, even in the judgment of the editor it wasn't
:06:05. > :06:14.ready for transmission, should have been allowed to continue. This
:06:14. > :06:22.quote implies there was some kind of cover-up? I genuinely don't know
:06:22. > :06:24.what Peter Ripon made by "long political chain." Emails from the
:06:24. > :06:30.Newsnight journalists who investigated Jimmy Savile suggested
:06:30. > :06:36.that one of the reasons they pulled the report was that the girls were
:06:36. > :06:44.teenagers, not too young. Mr Ripon insisted he dropped it waus because
:06:44. > :06:47.of editorial reasons. How much has this damaged the BBC. George
:06:47. > :06:53.Entwistle left Parliament knowing this scandal is producing shocking
:06:54. > :06:56.and damaging revelations with almost every day that passes. Away
:06:56. > :06:59.from Westminster the terrible impact of Jimmy Savile's sexual
:06:59. > :07:04.abuse is becoming clearer by the day. Lawyers for the victims say
:07:04. > :07:07.more people have come forward since last night's Panorama programme.
:07:07. > :07:16.Two charities, set up in Jimmy Savile's name, announced today that
:07:16. > :07:22.they are closing down. This must bring back awful memories this
:07:22. > :07:27.building? Yes. For Kevin Cook memories of the BBC are vivid. In
:07:27. > :07:32.1976 he walked through these doors a nine-year-old cub scout appearing
:07:32. > :07:37.on Jim'll Fix It. I was led back to the dressing room with Jimmy Savile
:07:37. > :07:41.with the promise of my own badge. Then, that's where, you know, the
:07:41. > :07:47.incident took place. Today, he was back in the building where that
:07:47. > :07:54.took place. He took in all that has been revealed in the last three
:07:54. > :07:57.weeks. You have seen the Panorama. You have seen what ge had say this
:07:58. > :08:04.morning? Yeah -- George Entwistle had to say this morning? Yeah.
:08:04. > :08:09.do you feel now? I'm disgusted. I'm gutted. I mean, last night,
:08:09. > :08:12.watching the Panorama, you know I thought, you know, I couldn't feel
:08:12. > :08:21.no worse than what I do. You know, what with all the allegations that
:08:21. > :08:28.have come out there, I'm just, like, deeply, deeply shocked. What seemed
:08:28. > :08:32.good natured fun suddenly feels, in the light of what we now know,
:08:32. > :08:35.chilling. Last night's Panorama shown a light on what the BBC did
:08:35. > :08:40.or didn't know. It has encouraged more people to speak up about what
:08:40. > :08:44.happened to them. People have now found confidence to come forwards.
:08:44. > :08:48.Many people have suppressed the trauma that they have endured for
:08:48. > :08:52.20, 30, 40 years. Now, because they recognise that others have suffered
:08:52. > :08:57.in a similar way, they have the confidence to come forward. For one
:08:57. > :09:00.victim, Panorama was a chance to finally be heard. Particularly
:09:00. > :09:06.horrible. This interview was recorded more than a year ago by
:09:06. > :09:11.Newsnight. The investigation was halted. Karin Ward had cancer. The
:09:11. > :09:15.fact it has taken so long, hurts. All that stress. That made me angry.
:09:15. > :09:19.The fact that I had gone through all that stress when I really
:09:19. > :09:23.needed to concentrate on getting well. Then they never used it.
:09:23. > :09:28.Savile name has become poison. Today, two charities that bear his
:09:28. > :09:35.name said they would be shutting down. You can take down physical
:09:35. > :09:41.signs. You can not bandy about that he built the place, but he will
:09:41. > :09:45.always be associated with it for, certainly the long foreseeable
:09:45. > :09:49.future. Money will be given to other charities, anonymously, in
:09:49. > :09:54.case it spreads the taint associated with the star. It's a
:09:54. > :10:04.name that will, foreKevin, and many others like him, only ever be
:10:04. > :10:04.
:10:04. > :10:08.remembered for one thing. We can talk to Mark Easton now. Can we go
:10:08. > :10:12.back to George Entwistle's appearance. He seemed to blame the
:10:12. > :10:17."system" when he spoke. That leaves an awful lot of questions, doesn't
:10:17. > :10:24.it? He did blame the system. He referred to the structures,
:10:24. > :10:28.baffling to outsiders, the baffling structures that what happens in
:10:28. > :10:31.news isn't referred across to other directors in television, people
:10:31. > :10:36.found that difficult. There are questions about whether the
:10:36. > :10:41.structures in the BBC, actually the layers of management made it a less
:10:41. > :10:46.speedy organisation. It couldn't react well. Clumsy. There will be
:10:46. > :10:49.questions about that. The committee will want to dig into some of those
:10:49. > :10:56.structures and talk to people at different levels. There will be
:10:56. > :11:00.questions of the director of BBC News, Helen Boaden. Peter Ripon, he
:11:00. > :11:04.they will always want to talk. To the political pressure is beginning
:11:04. > :11:11.to build here because this evening we learn that the Culture Secretary
:11:11. > :11:16.a member of the Government, Maria Miller, has writ tonne Lord Patten.
:11:16. > :11:19.In the letter she said having seen the performance of the Director-
:11:19. > :11:24.General today she said there are concerns being raised about public
:11:24. > :11:27.trust and confidence in the BBC. The stakes are being raised. Thank
:11:27. > :11:37.you. For more information and background on the Jimmy Savile
:11:37. > :11:40.
:11:40. > :11:43.Barack Obama and his republican challenger Mitt Romney have gone
:11:43. > :11:46.head-to-head on television for the final time before November's
:11:46. > :11:52.presidential election. Mr Romney accused the President of failing fo
:11:52. > :11:59.uphold America's global leadership. Mr Obama claimed that Mr Romney had
:11:59. > :12:06.been "wrong" on every major foreign policy issue. From triumph over
:12:06. > :12:10.terrorism to the his store storic upheaval of the Arab Spring, the
:12:10. > :12:16.dangers of a nuclear Iran, China's rise. On foreign affairs his has
:12:16. > :12:20.been a true multiious term, Barack Obama warned America against
:12:20. > :12:25.changing Commander-in-Chief. Whether it's the Middle East.
:12:25. > :12:29.Whether it's Afghanistan, whether it's Iraq, whether it's now Iran,
:12:29. > :12:34.you have been all over the map. challenger has drawn level in the
:12:34. > :12:39.polls. Here we saw a moderate, risk-averse Romney looking to
:12:39. > :12:44.dispel any notion that he would be a warmonger. I congratulate him on
:12:44. > :12:48.taking out Osama bin Laden and going after the leadership in Al-
:12:48. > :12:52.Qaeda we can't kill our way out of this mess. We don't want another
:12:52. > :12:57.Iraq or Afghanistan. They went around the world in 90 minutes on
:12:57. > :13:04.Iran, the President denied a report he had agreed to direct talks.
:13:04. > :13:08.clock is ticking. We are not going to allow Iran to perpetually engage
:13:08. > :13:10.in negotiations that lead nowhere. They have roocked looked at this
:13:10. > :13:16.administration and felt that the administration was not as strong as
:13:16. > :13:22.it needed to be. I think they saw weakness where they had expected to
:13:22. > :13:29.find America strength. President was mostly on the attack.
:13:29. > :13:33.You mentioned the Navy. We have fewer ships than we did in 1916. We
:13:33. > :13:38.have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military
:13:38. > :13:42.has changed. We have aircraft carriers... Mitt Romney turned the
:13:42. > :13:46.conversation towards home. In order to be able to fulfill our role in
:13:46. > :13:51.the world, America must be strong. America must lead. For that to
:13:52. > :13:54.happen, we have to strengthen our economy here at home. It had ban
:13:54. > :13:59.curious night, where the traditional line between right and
:13:59. > :14:03.left was frequently blurred. If you are an alien and came down and
:14:03. > :14:11.watched last night's debate you would think Mitt Romney was the
:14:11. > :14:15.dove and the Democrat and Barack Obama was the hawk. From America's
:14:15. > :14:20.place in the world the focus will shift now back to domestic
:14:20. > :14:30.challenges, the economy, jobs the deficit. With the raisz tide, it's
:14:30. > :14:30.
:14:30. > :14:35.time for closing arguments. -- raise tide, it's time for closing
:14:35. > :14:38.arguments. Four people are taking legal action against the publishers
:14:38. > :14:39.of the Daily Mirror over alleged phone-hacking. They include former
:14:39. > :14:42.England football manager, Sven Goran Eriksson and the Coronation
:14:42. > :14:45.Street actress Shobna Gulati. It's thought to be the first legal
:14:45. > :14:50.action over hacking against a newspaper group other than News
:14:50. > :14:55.International. We can go live to Tom Symonds. It's more than a year
:14:55. > :14:59.since this scandal broke, why are they taking action now? Well, it's
:14:59. > :15:03.taken this long, in the words of the lawyer behind these cases,
:15:03. > :15:10.because there is no smoking gun evidence against the Mirror
:15:10. > :15:12.newspapers. Unlike News International where there were
:15:12. > :15:18.police raids where documentary evidence was seized by the police
:15:18. > :15:23.which led to News International admitting its involvement.in phone-
:15:23. > :15:31.hacking. Trinity Mirror is not liking to do that. Piers Morgan
:15:31. > :15:37.said in 2001 he had been taught what he called "the little trick of
:15:37. > :15:41.phone-hacking" but he said he had never used it. Other staff at
:15:41. > :15:46.Mirror newspapers didn't rule out to the Leveson Inquiry that phone-
:15:46. > :15:49.hacking had happened. If you ask Trinity mirror if they were
:15:49. > :15:53.involved, you have had the same response - our journalists work
:15:54. > :16:02.within the criminal law and the Press Complaints Commission code of
:16:02. > :16:05.conduct. That as has always been Controversial plans to cull
:16:05. > :16:09.thousands of badgers in England to stop them spreading tuberculosis in
:16:09. > :16:12.cattle are being delayed until next summer. Ministers say they are
:16:12. > :16:19.still utterly convinced that culling is the right thing to do
:16:19. > :16:23.and that it is only being postponed for practical reasons.
:16:23. > :16:28.Many a secretive, a nocturnal creatures, much loved, and iconic
:16:28. > :16:33.British species. But for years, badgers have been blamed for
:16:33. > :16:42.spreading bovine TB to cattle. Many farmers argued they must be culled
:16:42. > :16:46.and the government agreed. The shooting was about to start, but
:16:46. > :16:51.now farmers are learning it is all change. The cull is postponed until
:16:51. > :16:55.next year at least. For David Barton, that is the bitter
:16:55. > :16:59.disappointment. He has been watching his cattle tested for TB
:16:59. > :17:07.and the ones that come up positive are marked so they can be killed
:17:07. > :17:13.for his dog in one morning, 33 of his breeding herd, lost to disease.
:17:13. > :17:17.I do not dislike badgers, I like them, but I do not like TB. People
:17:17. > :17:21.getting emotive about this metre try to understand that I have been
:17:21. > :17:25.dealing with this for ten years, and when I have a Laura Turner that
:17:25. > :17:33.take all of my cows that I have been breeding for years, it is a
:17:33. > :17:38.real pain -- when I have a lorry to turn up. It is thought that the
:17:38. > :17:42.cull was imminent, but then today. A survey revealed there were far
:17:42. > :17:48.more badgers on the ground and had been expected. In order to achieve
:17:48. > :17:54.the 70% cure rate, it would mean shooting more than 5,000 badgers in
:17:54. > :17:59.a six-week period and the calculations have been made that
:17:59. > :18:02.they just do not have the time or firepower to make that possible.
:18:02. > :18:07.This morning the Environment Secretary was preparing to announce
:18:07. > :18:11.big cull had been put back, but the government insists this is not a U-
:18:11. > :18:15.turn. I know this will be disappointing for money,
:18:15. > :18:23.particularly those farmers in the two pilot areas but I fully support
:18:23. > :18:26.the decision of the NFU to delay this. That is not the view of
:18:26. > :18:31.campaigners. They are claiming victory and believe that the cull
:18:31. > :18:35.will now never happen. I am overjoyed. I hope the government
:18:35. > :18:41.have got the guts to come down completely. Instead of dragging it
:18:41. > :18:44.out, come clean and say it was a terrible idea. And so the campaign
:18:45. > :18:52.against the cull will go on, as farmers still insist it must go
:18:52. > :18:55.ahead. Our top story tonight: The Director
:18:55. > :19:05.General of the BBC faced a grilling from MPs today over the Jimmy
:19:05. > :19:09.Savile sexual abuse scandal. Coming up: Britain's Paralympic and

:19:35. > :19:39.Their pride in their own cuisine is world renowned. And their disdain
:19:39. > :19:44.for UK grub has been equally well documented. But now it seems French
:19:44. > :19:47.opinion is changing. Out go the Brie and the Chardonnay. Now
:19:47. > :19:52.British cheese and wine is firmly on the Parisian shopping list, as
:19:52. > :19:59.food exports to France have doubled in ten years. Christian Fraser has
:19:59. > :20:03.been taking the taste test. If you are serving traditional
:20:03. > :20:10.British food in the gourmet capital of the world, you had better be
:20:10. > :20:17.good at it. This bakery has proved so successful, there are three of
:20:17. > :20:22.these in Paris, during the lunch crowd towards the best of British.
:20:22. > :20:25.We says baking index, salmon, scrambled eggs. People were a bit
:20:25. > :20:30.dubious but quickly people understood we were talking about
:20:30. > :20:34.quality, and quality is the same language all over the world.
:20:35. > :20:40.Britain has been through a food revolution and the French are
:20:40. > :20:44.beginning to sit up and notice. At today's food set in Paris, a higher
:20:44. > :20:50.value, premium products were in demand. The former French President
:20:50. > :20:55.Jacques Chirac once said of the UK it "you cannot trust a country with
:20:55. > :21:05.such a bad suit". These days, the French even by our she's. That is
:21:05. > :21:06.
:21:06. > :21:09.right, Stilton and Cheddar! -- the French even get cheese! Last year,
:21:09. > :21:15.the French bought half a billion pounds worth of whisky. The sale of
:21:15. > :21:22.cheese has soared from �90 million up to �68 million, and British meat
:21:22. > :21:26.is welcome again. I cannot translated directly into jobs but
:21:26. > :21:32.we do know that the food and drink sector is the largest employer in
:21:32. > :21:36.the UK and that particular industry is growing, so it is making a major
:21:36. > :21:39.contribution to reducing unemployment. One of the flag
:21:39. > :21:44.carriers for British food is Marks & Spencer, a quintessentially

:22:51. > :22:56.There have been times in the past when reporters at Buckingham Palace
:22:56. > :23:01.have been able to say, there are more members of the Royal Family

:23:06. > :23:10.competitors from the Olympics and Paralympics, including Anthony
:23:10. > :23:14.Joshua were from the Super heavyweight section of the boxing.
:23:14. > :23:20.What is it like to be here this evening? Are you nervous about
:23:20. > :23:25.meeting the Queen? Not nervous, I feel honoured. I am glad I have
:23:25. > :23:30.taken a boxing because it has given me the opportunity to meet the

:23:36. > :23:42.Olympics? Has it changed? In the sense of more opportunity and more
:23:42. > :23:46.responsibility as well, yes. It can go at a fast pace sometimes but I
:23:46. > :23:52.am trying to slow everything down. I want to concentrate on my

:23:57. > :24:01.been a combined reception for both the Paralympics and the Olympics at
:24:01. > :24:06.Buckingham Palace, and it will be ongoing for the next half-an-hour.

:24:17. > :24:26.passed away in hospital and among the tributes today was praise for

:24:32. > :24:35.The summer of 1940. RAF pilots take off to engage German fighter planes
:24:35. > :24:41.over the skies of southern England. The Battle of Britain was a
:24:41. > :24:46.turning-point in the war. Outnumbered RAF pilots won,
:24:46. > :24:51.preventing Germany from invading Britain. Many died, aged just 20
:24:51. > :24:56.years old, but this young pilot, Flight Lieutenant William Walker,
:24:56. > :25:04.survived and died this week, aged 99 C. He was the oldest surviving
:25:04. > :25:11.Battle of Britain pilot. Spitfire was beautiful to fly. When
:25:11. > :25:16.you sit in it, you feel... I was never let down by a Spitfire.
:25:16. > :25:21.RAF Coningsby, they preserve some of the aircraft of that time. The
:25:21. > :25:26.commanding officer visited William Walker on his 99th birthday. They
:25:26. > :25:31.came straight out of school. Their bravery was phenomenal. They knew
:25:31. > :25:37.the odds of them surviving were very, very low and time after time,
:25:37. > :25:41.day after day, they got back in the aircraft, back at the enemy.
:25:41. > :25:45.William Walker flew a Spitfire and what he and his fellow pilots
:25:45. > :25:49.achieved was extraordinary. During the Battle of Britain, they were
:25:49. > :25:54.frequently involved in air-to-air combat, pulling such tight twists
:25:54. > :26:00.and turns that they nearly blacked out because of the force of gravity
:26:00. > :26:05.pushing against their bodies. Behind each name, a straw realise,
:26:05. > :26:09.of bravery and summer skies. recent years, William Walker wrote
:26:09. > :26:13.poetry about the Battle of Britain to help younger generations
:26:13. > :26:18.remember what happened. Many people expressed their gratitude to him
:26:18. > :26:28.over the years. He was one of through Churchill described as a
:26:28. > :26:31.
:26:31. > :26:36.few to which so many owe so much. Quite a change at the end of the
:26:36. > :26:42.week which will be a shock to the system. But in the short term, we
:26:42. > :26:50.have cloud across much of the UK. Not as much fog as we have seen
:26:50. > :26:56.recently. The cloud is lifting up a bit more. Dense fog patches in
:26:56. > :27:04.northern Scotland as well. Frost once again. Otherwise, it is a mild
:27:04. > :27:09.night. It is a bit of a dull start on Wednesday for most of us, except
:27:09. > :27:13.in northern Scotland. A few glimmers of brightness will break
:27:13. > :27:23.through in the afternoon. Northern Ireland could see some sunshine in
:27:23. > :27:29.the afternoon as well. The winds will stay alight. There is a change
:27:29. > :27:33.for the northern parts of Scotland, with patchy rain. Parts of Cumbria
:27:33. > :27:39.could have a bright afternoon. But to the east of the Pennines, a fair
:27:39. > :27:44.bit of drizzle. Showers perhaps in East Anglia. The southern coastal
:27:44. > :27:51.counties of England could actually see some sunshine coming through,
:27:51. > :27:55.and pretty mild. Cloudy again through Wednesday night and into
:27:55. > :28:00.Thursday, so we still have fairly grey skies for most on Thursday,
:28:00. > :28:07.but the breeze will lift the cloud slightly. Perhaps not quite as dull
:28:07. > :28:11.as it has been. Much colder weather heading in during Friday. It will
:28:11. > :28:16.be brighter as well, mind you. But temperatures will be feeling about
:28:16. > :28:20.freezing in the northern areas. There will be some snow for
:28:20. > :28:25.northern hills, and called for all of us by Saturday.
