:14:21. > :14:26.Litvinenko's widow said the inquest should look at whether the British
:14:26. > :14:32.state had failed in its duty of care towards Mr Litvinenko. The
:14:32. > :14:39.reason it was said it had such a duty was because he had been a paid

:14:43. > :14:48.before he was poisoned at this hotel, Litvinenko met his MI6
:14:48. > :14:53.handler. MI6 had apparently put Litvinenko in touch with Spanish

:14:58. > :15:01.Andrei Lugovoi, undertaking these dangerous tasks. His lawyer said

:21:36. > :21:40.A deal has been struck in Brussels to place around 200 of Europe's
:21:41. > :21:44.biggest banks under the drebg su ver vision of the European Central
:21:44. > :21:51.Bank. It will not include British banks. Our correspondent is in
:21:51. > :21:56.Brussels. How significant is this? Well, I think this is a big deal.
:21:56. > :22:00.It's only a first step. 200 of Europe's biggest banks will be
:22:00. > :22:05.supervised by the European Central Bank. Some of those smaller banks,
:22:05. > :22:11.if they get into difficulty, well, then the ECB will intervene to try
:22:11. > :22:15.and help them out. Make no mistake, a big chunk of national authority
:22:15. > :22:19.or sovereignty is going to be passed to a European institution.
:22:19. > :22:25.Why does all this matter? Because banks have been so much at the core
:22:25. > :22:29.of what has gone wrong in the eurozone. So often banking problems
:22:29. > :22:33.have ended up on the Government's books and that has forced up the
:22:33. > :22:37.Government's debts. Now there's an attempt to try and try and control
:22:37. > :22:42.that and bring it down. Where does this leave Britain? Britain will
:22:42. > :22:45.not be part of the banking union. It supports it. Why? Because it
:22:45. > :22:51.believes it will bring greater stability to the eurozone.
:22:51. > :22:56.Thank you. Cricket and England's batsmen have
:22:56. > :22:59.struggled on the first day of the fourth Test. They lost early
:22:59. > :23:06.wickets before Kevin Pietersen helped his side recover. England
:23:06. > :23:10.only need a draw in this Test to win the series.
:23:10. > :23:15.In Nagpur every street can bring a surprise. If you are preparing for
:23:15. > :23:20.a close shave, who can you trust? India looked to their bowlers.
:23:20. > :23:25.England, for once, won the toss. They batted first. Compton gone for
:23:25. > :23:31.three. Then the real shock - Cook was out for just one. LBW that was
:23:31. > :23:36.debatable. When Kevin Pietersen is at his best
:23:36. > :23:42.he can dominate responsibly. It is all in the timing. Pietersen passed
:23:42. > :23:50.50 after lunch. India employed four spin bowlers. Trott made his way to
:23:50. > :23:57.44. A momentarily lapse can end everything in embarrassment. Trott
:23:57. > :24:02.dismissed. Bell endured a miserable series on one he presented a gift.
:24:02. > :24:09.Scoring had almost stopped. Pietersen just pass 70, he through
:24:09. > :24:14.off the shackles. A low catch, low moment, England, 195-5. The
:24:14. > :24:21.recovery was led by Matt Prior. England reached 199 at close.
:24:21. > :24:26.Recognise the other batsman? 31, not out, on his debut. Steady
:24:26. > :24:30.strides towards the big prize. If England do beat this team here or
:24:30. > :24:36.draw, then England will take the series. They have been waiting to
:24:36. > :24:43.do this here for nearly 30 years. No need to rush now!
:24:43. > :24:46.Now, they say manners make the man. That is what pupils at Fowey
:24:46. > :24:50.comprehensive in Cornwall think. When the girls complained the boys
:24:50. > :24:57.were dirty, messy and rude, the head teacher came up with the
:24:57. > :25:03.answer - lessons in etiquette. Out of the classroom, and off to
:25:03. > :25:07.charm school. These boys have been sent for some extra tuition by the
:25:07. > :25:12.girls in their class. They don't use the correct language sometimes.
:25:12. > :25:17.It is rude. When they don't shave and then wear white socks and stuff.
:25:17. > :25:21.They are never quite clean, are they? So, for the next six months
:25:21. > :25:28.the lads will spend Thursday afternoons at the hotel next to
:25:28. > :25:34.their school, learning how to be gentlemen. You have got it on your
:25:34. > :25:40.shirt. Look! And on my tie. He's getting up to the top... Lesson
:25:40. > :25:46.number one is personal grooming. Mark is learning how to use an iron.
:25:46. > :25:52.Have you ever done this before? Never ironed before? Never ironed
:25:52. > :26:01.before. How old are you? 16. Shirt pressed, Mark's next lesson
:26:01. > :26:06.is learning how to greet a lady. You might expect this at a Swiss
:26:06. > :26:12.finishing school, but not at a Cornish comprehensive.
:26:12. > :26:17.The wine might only be fruit juice, but they are taking it very
:26:17. > :26:23.seriously. I'm doing this to obviously become more charming for
:26:23. > :26:27.women and something like that. all about getting girls, is it?
:26:27. > :26:33.The teachers say it is also about getting jobs. Once their GCSEs are
:26:33. > :26:36.over. If you cannot get on in all the
:26:36. > :26:41.social environments, then you will find your future limited. We don't
:26:41. > :26:50.want to limit the future of our students. In June, there will be an
:26:50. > :26:56.end of year ball and the girls might be in for a surprise.
:26:56. > :27:00.Let's look at the weather now. Everyone keeps saying to me, had
:27:00. > :27:05.enough of the cold weather now. Hopefully a change for the better
:27:05. > :27:11.on the way in the next 48 hours or so. It will turn milder. Milder
:27:11. > :27:14.from the south of the UK, actually from the south of the UK, actually
:27:14. > :27:19.as we speak. This evening, pretty chilly. As we go into the night,
:27:19. > :27:26.temperatures will start to come up - going in the opposite direction
:27:26. > :27:29.to the last few nights. The wind will be up. We will have
:27:29. > :27:34.patches of fog to England and Wales for a time. Chilly across Scotland
:27:34. > :27:38.and northern England w a frost here. Milder to the south, as the rain
:27:38. > :27:43.starts to push in first thing on Friday. Actually the rain could be
:27:43. > :27:48.heavy for a while along the south coast. With high tides there may be
:27:48. > :27:53.some flooding here and indeed in land, where we have heavier rain
:27:53. > :27:59.for a while. By the afternoon we have a scattering of showers over
:27:59. > :28:04.south-west of England. A wet afternoon for the south-east and
:28:04. > :28:09.East Anglia. The south-east of Northern Ireland, again we could
:28:09. > :28:13.see some flooding here, thanks to high tides and heavy rain. For
:28:13. > :28:20.Scotland, ice first thing a possibility. Blizzards across the
:28:20. > :28:25.Grampians over the afternoon where we have strong winds and snowfall.
:28:25. > :28:30.Later on strong winds in Scotland could be damaging. Things improve
:28:30. > :28:36.on Saturday. The wind is south- westerly. Milder than we've had in
:28:36. > :28:41.a while. Sunday looks similar as well. So,
