:01:42. > :01:46.The Food Standards Agency is demanding a police investigation,
:01:46. > :01:48.and heads of meat suppliers and retailers have been called for a
:01:48. > :01:57.Government summit tomorrow. It follows the latest discovery of
:01:57. > :02:00.horsemeat hidden in products claiming to contain beef. This time
:02:00. > :02:03.some Findus frozen beef lasagnes were found to contain no beef at
:02:03. > :02:12.all, just horsemeat. The FSA says it suspects criminality is to blame.
:02:12. > :02:15.Emma Simpson has more. Findus describes itself as one of
:02:15. > :02:19.Britain's best-loved names in food, using only the best ingredients,
:02:19. > :02:29.but some of these meals may not have had any beef at all, just
:02:29. > :02:29.
:02:29. > :02:33.horsemeat. For Alfie in Bury St Edmunds, beef lasagne was a teatime
:02:33. > :02:39.favourite. Not any more. Like others, he is worried he may have
:02:39. > :02:43.eaten something he did not bank on. We have been eating them for years.
:02:43. > :02:47.Findus is the only ones we normally buy, because of the quality of the
:02:47. > :02:53.product. REPORTER: Will you be eating any
:02:53. > :02:58.more? Not any more. This is the French factory where the meals were
:02:58. > :03:02.made and the horsemeat was found. Today, it said it had identified
:03:02. > :03:07.the supplier who sold it the meat. Police are here and in the UK are
:03:07. > :03:12.now involved. The Food Standards Agency suspect gross negligence or
:03:12. > :03:16.foul play somewhere in the supply chain. Investigations have not
:03:16. > :03:20.identified any food safety risks so far but what we have seen as
:03:20. > :03:24.unacceptable. That is why we are demanding the industry tests all of
:03:24. > :03:29.its beef products, as well as us independently testing them.
:03:29. > :03:34.tests on Findus frozen beef lasagne left no doubt - some contained
:03:34. > :03:40.levels of horsemeat between 60-100%. They were made by Comigel, based in
:03:40. > :03:44.France. This company also supplies some froze and own-brand meals to
:03:44. > :03:49.Tesco and Aldi. Both have withdrawn the products as a precautionary
:03:49. > :03:54.measure. The Prime Minister said he understood people's concerns.
:03:54. > :03:58.is not really about food safety but about effective food labelling,
:03:58. > :04:03.proper retail practice. And people will be very angry to find out they
:04:03. > :04:07.have been eating horse when they thought they were eating beef. So
:04:07. > :04:12.this does need to be dealt with. Labour says his Government should
:04:12. > :04:17.be doing more. This scandal is tainting consumer confidence.
:04:18. > :04:22.Criminal elements have come in and the Government seems to be
:04:22. > :04:26.absolutely frozen at the wheel, unable to take any form of action.
:04:26. > :04:31.As for Findus, they were still not talking today but on their website
:04:31. > :04:36.there was an apology to customers. They say they are acting to ensure
:04:36. > :04:40.such an incident can never happen again. This scandal is not just
:04:40. > :04:45.damaging for Findus. Consumer confidence in the food industry has
:04:45. > :04:50.also been dented. It has now been given a week to run sample tests on
:04:50. > :04:53.all processed beef products. The question is, will it help to
:04:53. > :04:57.restore trust on our high streets, or reveal a more widespread
:04:57. > :05:01.problem? The discovery of horsemeat being
:05:01. > :05:04.sold as beef has raised questions about how much of it is out there,
:05:04. > :05:08.and whether the system of testing meat is up to the task. Chris
:05:08. > :05:17.Buckler has been looking at how the content of our food is scrutinised
:05:17. > :05:21.between the farm and the fork. There has never been a market for
:05:21. > :05:26.horsemeat in the UK, but beef is big business, and there are strict
:05:26. > :05:31.rules to try to ensure it is traceable. Cattle within the UK are
:05:31. > :05:35.given a tag on their ear. Each one contains a unique number. When we
:05:35. > :05:39.have registered them, they send us a passport. Every animal has a
:05:39. > :05:44.unique passport. These safeguards are for cattle, but something is
:05:44. > :05:47.clearly going wrong if horse is ending up in products branded as
:05:47. > :05:51.beef. Some farmers believe retailers are partly responsible.
:05:51. > :05:55.It has to be the supermarket because they are pushing the
:05:55. > :06:01.processor to produce a cheap product. The process of then has to
:06:01. > :06:06.go and buy cheap meat. It is not easy to buy cheap meat in the UK
:06:06. > :06:08.because of the fact that we are heavily regulated. In general,
:06:08. > :06:13.British consumers have always seen a big difference between eating
:06:13. > :06:18.beef and horsemeat. At the heart of the scandal is not health scare,
:06:19. > :06:22.but questions of taste and culture. However, there could be serious
:06:22. > :06:27.implications for processors and suppliers as consumers start to
:06:27. > :06:30.question if the systems in place can really trace meat from farms to
:06:30. > :06:35.their forks. They have to trust each other that basically they are
:06:35. > :06:38.doing what they say they are doing. That is the way the system works.
:06:38. > :06:43.Sometimes it breaks down and we need to pay more attention to
:06:43. > :06:48.sharpening up some of the edges on that. It was BSE even change the
:06:48. > :06:51.industry in the 1990s. Animals were destroyed because of the dangers
:06:51. > :06:54.they have brought a that human food chain. That is why tighter
:06:54. > :06:58.regulations were put in place but has this discovery exposed
:06:58. > :07:03.failings? We think this is a serious fraud in one part of a
:07:03. > :07:09.complicated food chain. This is not the fault of British farmers.
:07:09. > :07:12.not just cattle taken to abattoirs in the UK. Horses are, too, but the
:07:12. > :07:19.meat tends to be processed and eaten abroad. The concern is how
:07:19. > :07:24.people ended up buying it in towns and villages here.
:07:24. > :07:28.Emma Simpson joins me. More details have emerged about what Findus new,
:07:29. > :07:31.and when, about its contaminated products. There has been a
:07:32. > :07:37.development this afternoon, because we have learned that Findus
:07:37. > :07:43.actually had confirmation of horsemeat contamination on 29th
:07:43. > :07:46.January, when it tested only three lasagne meals. This was in the wake
:07:46. > :07:51.of the burger alert in Ireland. It was doing it as a precautionary
:07:51. > :07:54.measure. It stopped taking meals from the French factory and stopped
:07:54. > :07:59.sending out the products, effectively quarantined in the
:07:59. > :08:04.products as it conducted a wider scale DNA testing to establish what
:08:04. > :08:08.it was dealing with. Those tests came back positive on Wednesday. So
:08:08. > :08:12.Findus are saying they have been directed throughout, but one major
:08:12. > :08:16.retail I spoke to this evening said perhaps they should have known
:08:16. > :08:20.about the warnings earlier. So this story is far from over.
:08:20. > :08:24.David Cameron has hailed a deal on the budget for the European Union
:08:24. > :08:27.as something the British public can be proud of. After a day and night
:08:27. > :08:31.of tough negotiations in Brussels, EU leaders agreed on a budget of
:08:31. > :08:34.more than 900 billion euros over the next seven years. The Prime
:08:34. > :08:37.Minister said this meant spending would be cut for the first time in
:08:37. > :08:45.the history of the European Union. From Brussels, Nick Robinson
:08:45. > :08:51.reports. It is the deal that he was told
:08:51. > :08:55.could not be achieved, a deal to cut the EU's budget. Aid deal for
:08:56. > :09:00.an age of austerity in which the Prime Minister ditched his limo in
:09:00. > :09:04.favour of an early morning stroll back to the negotiating table after
:09:04. > :09:08.a long, long night without sleep. REPORTER: Prime Minister, you have
:09:08. > :09:11.one. At the end of another whole day of
:09:11. > :09:15.talking, David Cameron was proclaimed the winner. The British
:09:15. > :09:19.public can be proud we have cut the seven-year credit card limit for
:09:19. > :09:25.the European Union for the first time ever. Every previous time
:09:25. > :09:29.these deals have been agreed, spending has gone up. Not this time.
:09:29. > :09:34.Brussels awoke this morning to the news that inside the EU summit, few
:09:34. > :09:39.had been to bed. Journalists and politicians had spent the hours of
:09:39. > :09:45.darkness waiting to see who would blink first in the game of Euro-
:09:45. > :09:48.budget poker. This has been a battle between the French President
:09:48. > :09:53.on the one hand and the British Prime Minister, a battle about how
:09:53. > :09:57.much money Europe needs, and who should get it. The French media
:09:57. > :10:01.declared their President the loser. They said he had been abandoned by
:10:01. > :10:05.the German Chancellor. Francois Hollande put on a brave face.
:10:05. > :10:12.TRANSLATION: If you ask me, if this had been my dream budget, well, if
:10:12. > :10:17.it had been up to me, know. Today's talks settled how much the European
:10:17. > :10:23.Union can spend up until the year 2020. The budget for the last seven
:10:23. > :10:31.years set a ceiling on EU payments of 943 billion euros. The new
:10:31. > :10:35.budget ceiling is 35 billion Lola, 908 billion, a cut of more than 3%.
:10:35. > :10:39.Britain's leading critic of the EU says that even this deal leaves the
:10:39. > :10:42.country paying more than it should. He has done as well as he could do,
:10:42. > :10:45.given the nature of the negotiations. But 40% of the money
:10:46. > :10:49.will continue to go to billionaires and rich landowners. Nothing has
:10:49. > :10:55.been done to sort out fraud in the Budget, and the taxpayer is still
:10:55. > :10:59.getting a rotten deal. �50 million a day is a price too far. The deal
:10:59. > :11:03.done behind these windows will still see Britain's annual payments
:11:03. > :11:07.to the EU going up, albeit less than they might have done. What do
:11:07. > :11:11.you say to a British taxpayer to says, I do not care what Europe's
:11:11. > :11:17.total budget is, but I care that Britain is spending more and more
:11:17. > :11:20.in Europe? Because of changes to our rebate in 2005, changes that
:11:20. > :11:28.Tony Blair made and I opposed at the time, our net contributions
:11:28. > :11:32.were always going to go up there. Prime Minister, are you happy?
:11:32. > :11:40.David Cameron has experience isolation in Europe. Today, he had
:11:40. > :11:44.allies and he got a deal. It is clear which he prefers.
:11:44. > :11:51.Gavin Rae Hewitt is in Brussels. David Cameron is claiming this is a
:11:51. > :11:55.good deal. Just how good is it, in your assessment. Well, an important
:11:55. > :12:00.marker was put down today. EU budgets do not always rise, they
:12:00. > :12:07.can come down. But was it a modern, reforming Budget? Not really. It
:12:07. > :12:09.remains the case that the biggest item in the Budget is aka --
:12:09. > :12:14.agricultural spending. The common agricultural policy, although it is
:12:14. > :12:17.coming down. And a big hurdle lies ahead. This Budget has to be agreed
:12:17. > :12:20.by the European Parliament and already there are plenty of MPs
:12:21. > :12:24.threatening to block it on the grounds that they do not like
:12:24. > :12:29.seeing smaller budgets. And there are some who are asking for a
:12:29. > :12:33.secret ballot so they are not influenced by national governments,
:12:33. > :12:37.something David Cameron has already condemned. But politically, do not
:12:37. > :12:41.underestimate the significance that on such a big issue, the German
:12:41. > :12:46.Chancellor, Angela Merkel, sided with the British position over the
:12:46. > :12:49.French. Two men who stabbed to death an
:12:49. > :12:53.innocent student, after they were paid to carry out a killing but
:12:53. > :12:56.targeted the wrong house, have each been jailed for a minimum of 40
:12:56. > :13:00.years. 17-year-old Aamir Siddiqi was murdered on the doorstep of his
:13:00. > :13:04.Cardiff home in front of his parents in April 2010. Jason
:13:04. > :13:10.Richards and Ben Hope were told by the judge at Swansea Crown Court
:13:10. > :13:13.that "few would shed a tear if they died in jail".
:13:13. > :13:16.A court has heard how the man accused of killing two police
:13:16. > :13:20.officers in Greater Manchester last September lured them to his house
:13:20. > :13:24.and started firing at them as soon as he opened the front door. Dale
:13:24. > :13:28.Cregan fired over 30 bullets at PCs Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone. He
:13:28. > :13:31.then detonated a military grenade before fleeing the house. He denies
:13:31. > :13:41.killing both police officers. Judith Moritz was in court.
:13:41. > :13:46.Harrowing evidence for the families of the two officers today. Yes,
:13:46. > :13:53.Fiona. The court heard that Dale Cregan had laid a very careful plan
:13:53. > :13:56.to attract those officers to this house in east Manchester. He
:13:56. > :14:00.dialled 999 to report a break-in under a false name and was told
:14:00. > :14:07.that officers would come here quickly, to which he replied,
:14:07. > :14:11.apparently, I will be waiting. Dale Cregan and his co-defendants
:14:11. > :14:17.arrived for the second day of their trial amidst high security again.
:14:17. > :14:23.The court, which was surrounded by armed officers, Hurd's detail of
:14:23. > :14:26.how a two police constables were murdered. -- it heard detail. Fiona
:14:26. > :14:31.Bone and Nicola Hughes had been sent to respond to reported
:14:31. > :14:36.burglary. A 999 call was played to the book -- court. The prosecution
:14:36. > :14:40.say was made by Dale Cregan under a false name. He had, it was said,
:14:40. > :14:44.you're the officers to a terraced house, where he was armed, ready
:14:44. > :14:48.and waiting for them. The court heard that when the officers
:14:48. > :14:54.arrived, Dale Cregan opened fire. PC Hughes fell to the ground, and
:14:54. > :14:58.he then shot her another three times. And PC Bone was trapped in
:14:58. > :15:02.front of the lounge window and he fired at her 24 times. For then,
:15:02. > :15:08.the prosecution say, Dale Cregan left his calling card. Before he
:15:08. > :15:11.fled, he threw a grenade into the garden. It is claimed Dale Cregan
:15:11. > :15:16.then drove to a police station to hand himself in. He is said to have
:15:16. > :15:20.announced, I have dropped the gun at the scene and I have murdered
:15:20. > :15:24.two police officers. You were hounding my family so I took it out
:15:24. > :15:29.on you. He is also said to have stated, sorry about those two who
:15:29. > :15:34.were killed. I wish it was men. The families of PCs bone and Hughes
:15:34. > :15:38.have been in court, and they saw that as they heard the details of
:15:38. > :15:41.the deaths. The prosecution described Dale Cregan as a man who
:15:41. > :15:45.knew exactly what he was doing, with a clarity of mind, and also
:15:45. > :15:53.with chilling precision. He and his co-defendants deny the charges
:15:53. > :15:57.against them. The case resumes on Monday. The jury were told this is
:15:57. > :16:01.not Dale Cregan's house, but that the night before the murders he had
:16:01. > :16:07.come here and forced the family inside to allow him to stay. They
:16:07. > :16:11.were terrified, the prosecution say, but Dale Cregan, they added, was
:16:11. > :16:21.relaxed enough to send out for a beer, cigarettes and cigars. They
:16:21. > :16:27.
:16:27. > :16:31.told the jury that he knew it was The Paul Smee scandal, ministers

:17:48. > :17:53.on the moment in 2003 when Vicky Pryce signed the forms to falsely
:17:53. > :18:02.claimed she was the driver of Chris Huhne's car. She does start tonight,
:18:02. > :18:09.she said she had no choice, bull was standing over with a pen. Their
:18:09. > :18:14.defence is marital coercion, a law which says she was innocent if the
:18:14. > :18:17.offences committed under the coercion of her husband. But the
:18:17. > :18:21.prosecutor questioned whether that was the case.
:18:21. > :18:25.You have made that up, he said, because you have been advised this
:18:25. > :18:30.defence only applies if the husband is present at the time, that is why
:18:30. > :18:33.you have made this story up. Vicky Pryce said, no, it is one of
:18:34. > :18:37.my strongest memories, it is absolutely true.
:18:37. > :18:41.Today the case delved into the couple's darkest moments, again
:18:41. > :18:46.with the aim of helping the jury decide whether they could have been
:18:46. > :18:50.coercion. Yesterday Vicky Pryce said that Chris Huhne had got her
:18:50. > :18:53.to have an abortion. Today she revealed that there was another
:18:53. > :18:57.pregnancy, another abortion had been booked, but on the day she
:18:57. > :19:01.pulled out, she said she could not go for what it. The prosecutors
:19:01. > :19:07.said this was an occasion when she had stood up to her former husband,
:19:07. > :19:11.not been bullied by him. And Andrew Edis had earlier described her as
:19:11. > :19:16.an experienced, clever, powerful woman. She responded that she was
:19:16. > :19:19.not powerful and her family always came first. Chris Huhne's guilty
:19:19. > :19:24.plea means this trial is now shorter than it could have been.
:19:24. > :19:32.Vicky Pryce was the final witness. After legal argument next week, the
:19:32. > :19:34.jury will consider its verdict. The Pakistani schoolgirl who was

:20:46. > :20:51.jury she was first abused in 1978. She said it left her traumatised.
:20:51. > :20:57.Days after giving evidence in court, she took her own life. Tragically,
:20:57. > :20:59.she is not here to see justice done. Whilst I cannot talk about those
:21:00. > :21:03.circumstances, on behalf of Greater Manchester Police, I would like to
:21:03. > :21:07.offer my sincere condolences and sympathies to her family and
:21:08. > :21:12.friends. The abuse started here at Chetham's School of Music. Michael
:21:12. > :21:17.Brewer was its director of music. The court was told that every pupil
:21:17. > :21:22.looked up to him. Frances Andrade told the court that she was abused
:21:22. > :21:25.for several years. It began here at Chetham's School of Music when she
:21:25. > :21:31.was 14 with assaults taking place in Michael Brewer's camper van and
:21:31. > :21:33.his school of this. Michael Brewer was forced to leave Chetham's in
:21:33. > :21:38.1994 after he started a relationship with another 17-year-
:21:38. > :21:45.old pupil. The school did not pass on the information, and days later
:21:45. > :21:49.he was told he would receive an OBE. Today the school said sorry. He has
:21:49. > :21:52.been found to have committed the most appalling acts, which took
:21:52. > :21:57.place at this time at the school. On behalf of the current school
:21:57. > :22:02.staff, I wish to express my profound and sincere apology and
:22:02. > :22:07.regret. Michael Brewer's former wife, Hilary Kay Brewer, was also
:22:07. > :22:11.found guilty of indecent assault, and tonight Frances Andrade's
:22:11. > :22:21.family said she was a brave loving mother but the impact of being

:22:22. > :22:26.called a liar and fantasist in A huge manhunt is under way across
:22:26. > :22:30.several states in America for a former police officer who has gone
:22:30. > :22:33.on a shooting rampage. Christopher Dorner was sacked from the Los
:22:33. > :22:38.Angeles police department and has posted threats, saying he will
:22:38. > :22:41.bring warfare to the force. Mike Wooldridge reports.
:22:41. > :22:45.That massive manhunt growing across the States for the heavily armed
:22:45. > :22:49.ex-cop on the run accused of killing three and hunting for more.
:22:49. > :22:53.The focus of the man anti-for Christopher Dorner is now in the
:22:53. > :22:57.snowy mountains around Big Bear lake around 80 miles east of Los
:22:57. > :23:00.Angeles, where police found his burnt-out pick-up truck. With a
:23:00. > :23:04.degree in political science, he served in the US Navy before
:23:04. > :23:08.joining and being fired from the Los Angeles Police Department. The
:23:08. > :23:12.police say they were protecting over 40 possible targets of a
:23:12. > :23:17.vengeful Dorner as he issued a chilling message online containing
:23:17. > :23:20.this warning. I will utilise every bit of small-arms training,
:23:20. > :23:24.demolition, ordnance and survival training I have been given, he
:23:24. > :23:28.wrote, you have misjudged a sleeping giant. Of course he knows
:23:28. > :23:36.what he is doing, we trained him, he was also a member of the armed
:23:36. > :23:40.forces. It is extremely worrisome and scary. Especially to the police
:23:40. > :23:47.officers involved. Last Sunday two people were killed here, one of
:23:47. > :23:51.them the daughter of a retired police officer. Dorner is wanted
:23:51. > :23:57.over those killings and also over this attack on Wednesday night in
:23:57. > :24:02.which one police officer was killed and another injured. It is a scary
:24:02. > :24:07.situation, I phoned 911, who is next? You do not know. This will
:24:07. > :24:12.probably end very badly for him. I do not see a peaceful ending.
:24:12. > :24:15.hair-trigger alert, police guarding a potential target shot and wounded
:24:15. > :24:20.two women in this vehicle believed to be a tragic case of mistaken
:24:20. > :24:23.identity. This is now thought to be the biggest-ever manhunt in
:24:24. > :24:28.southern California as police tried to track down a man who was one of
:24:28. > :24:35.their own and he says his actions are being driven by his claims of
:24:35. > :24:38.injustice. There has been disappointment for
:24:38. > :24:43.England's women cricketers in the World Cup in India. The defending
:24:43. > :24:47.champions needed 148 to win against Australia but fell to run short of
:24:47. > :24:52.that total. They now face an uphill task if they are to progress to the
:24:52. > :24:57.final. Joe Wilson reports from Mumbai.
:24:57. > :25:01.On India's western edge, a Mumbai morning, 20 million people all with
:25:01. > :25:05.their daily routines, exercise can be social for some, but not if you
:25:05. > :25:08.are playing in cricket's classic confrontation, England were here to
:25:08. > :25:12.be their ultimate opponents, Australia, of course, and they had
:25:12. > :25:15.them at their mercy. 21-year-old Anya Shrubsole was unstoppable as
:25:15. > :25:21.England took five wickets in the first hour. The conditions suited
:25:21. > :25:26.the bowlers and they make the most of it. Only a mid-innings rally
:25:26. > :25:33.took Australia to 147 all out. A small total soon seemed mountainous
:25:33. > :25:40.as England folded, A tupped lbw Cork against Charlotte Edwards, but
:25:40. > :25:46.England did not help themselves. -- a tough LBW call. Panic gripped the
:25:46. > :25:51.batting, England were 39-6. The skipper sensed the game was up, but
:25:51. > :25:57.Lydia Greenway build an innings of 49 to give England hope until she
:25:57. > :26:01.was out. When England's last woman came in, 34 runs were needed, was
:26:01. > :26:06.Anya Shrubsole nervous? No chance, she took England to the brink, just
:26:06. > :26:09.two behind, but the faintest brush of the bat denied them, caught, all
:26:10. > :26:14.out, all over. Not the end of the world for England, but it almost
:26:14. > :26:19.felt like it. Colvin and Shrubsole are the most calm people at the
:26:19. > :26:24.wicket, so we will always really confident, they are quite capable
:26:24. > :26:27.of getting the runs. It just was not to be a. Two emphatic victories
:26:27. > :26:37.in their next two games and England could still reach the final, but
:26:37. > :26:37.
:26:37. > :26:44.somehow they have got to recover A look at the weather now with
:26:44. > :26:49.Susan Powell, I think more snow is I think you might be right, it is
:26:49. > :26:53.definitely a wintry weekend, the cold is going to stay with us, and
:26:53. > :26:57.by Sunday with a new weather system coming from the Atlantic there is a
:26:57. > :27:00.risk of disruptive snow. That said, these showers to the east of the UK
:27:01. > :27:05.could be wintry in the next few hours, and we could see ice first
:27:05. > :27:09.thing on Saturday. Further west, this weather front will bring a lot
:27:09. > :27:13.of cloud and will keep temperatures in the west a little bit higher
:27:13. > :27:17.overnight tonight. Outbreaks of rain mostly here, but where the
:27:17. > :27:21.rain meets that cold air, they could be sleet and snow, and there
:27:21. > :27:27.is a chance of ice first thing on Saturday. Saturday will be pretty
:27:27. > :27:34.Grade 4 the majority of the UK, the best sunshine to the Far East. --
:27:34. > :27:39.will be a pretty grey day. Not expecting too much snow sapling,
:27:39. > :27:43.but there could be some over high ground. Temperatures really
:27:43. > :27:47.struggling, a chilly start to the weekend. Sunday, though, is our
:27:47. > :27:52.biggest headache in terms of the forecast with a more active area of
:27:52. > :27:57.weather coming from the Atlantic, running into the cold air, so it
:27:57. > :28:00.looks like we will see outbreaks of rain turning to snow through Sunday.
:28:00. > :28:04.Heavy rain could be a problem across Wales, southern England and
:28:04. > :28:09.Northern Ireland, but further into Sunday you can see that blew behind
:28:09. > :28:19.the turning into white and we could see some problems. The risk of snow
