:01:39. > :01:41.News at Six. A Royal Marine has been convicted of
:01:42. > :01:44.murder, following the killing of an Afghan insurgent two years ago. A
:01:45. > :01:47.military court found that the injured Afghan had been shot in the
:01:48. > :01:50.chest at close range, after which the Marine admitted to his
:01:51. > :01:53.colleagues he'd just broken the Geneva Convention and urged them to
:01:54. > :01:55.keep it secret. Three Marines, whose identities have not been revealed,
:01:56. > :02:00.were on trial, all charged with murder. In court they were referred
:02:01. > :02:04.to only as Marines A, B, and C. While Marine A was found guilty, the
:02:05. > :02:08.other two were acquitted. Graphic footage and audio from one of the
:02:09. > :02:13.Marines' helmet camera was played in court, showing how the Afghan died.
:02:14. > :02:23.Caroline Wyatt is at the court for us now.
:02:24. > :02:30.Well, this was an extraordinary trial, the first for a British
:02:31. > :02:32.service personnel for murder committed on operations abroad since
:02:33. > :02:37.the Second World War that we are aware of. The jury were shown the
:02:38. > :02:40.video which prompted the investigation, and which we will
:02:41. > :02:47.show you extracts from, some of which you may find distressing.
:02:48. > :02:51.Without the personal camera mounted on Marine B's helmet, what happened
:02:52. > :02:56.in this field two years ago would have been buried forever, like the
:02:57. > :02:59.body of the insurgent, whom the jury decided was killed by Marine A,
:03:00. > :03:05.rather than the earlier Apache attack. The insurgent's body has
:03:06. > :03:09.never been found, his identity known only to the villagers who left a
:03:10. > :03:14.memorial in the fields. These stills are from the video that ultimately
:03:15. > :03:20.convicted the 39 your old Sergeant, known as Marine A, of murder. What
:03:21. > :03:24.we have heard over the last two weeks is not convicted with the
:03:25. > :03:28.ethos, values and standards of the Royal Marines. It was a truly
:03:29. > :03:34.shocking and appalling aberration. It should not have happened, and it
:03:35. > :03:39.should never happen again. This audio was a small part of what the
:03:40. > :03:42.board, or military jury, heard in court, as the Royal Marines
:03:43. > :03:46.discussed what to do with the wounded enemy fighter, by now a
:03:47. > :03:57.prisoner of war, as they dragged him across
:03:58. > :04:06.the camera switched off and then back on again, and then a shot can
:04:07. > :04:21.be heard, fired one Marine A. -- fired by Marine A.
:04:22. > :04:28.The military jury was made up of the men's peers from the Royal Marines
:04:29. > :04:33.and Royal Navy, who decided only the man who fired the fatal shot was
:04:34. > :04:37.guilty of murder, not the two more junior Marines, who now return to
:04:38. > :04:43.their units. But was the incident a one-off, or only unique in being
:04:44. > :04:45.captured on film? British troops always pride themselves on
:04:46. > :04:49.maintaining high standards of discipline, and in general I think
:04:50. > :04:54.that is true. One of the problems is that it's not just a slip on behalf
:04:55. > :04:56.of one or two people. Increasingly, the conditions of modern
:04:57. > :05:04.counterinsurgency make these sorts of events will be more frequent than
:05:05. > :05:06.we would like to believe. British forces have been fighting a
:05:07. > :05:11.counterinsurgency campaign in Helmand for many years, against an
:05:12. > :05:15.enemy that takes no prisoners. Many will have seen comrades killed or
:05:16. > :05:21.injured on the front lines. But the jury was clear, what happened on
:05:22. > :05:26.that September day was murder. There were grasps and tears from the
:05:27. > :05:32.families, as the verdicts were announced shortly after 2pm. The
:05:33. > :05:37.judge called people back into the court and told Marine A to stand as
:05:38. > :05:42.he was found guilty of murder, and he is likely to serve any sentence
:05:43. > :05:47.in a civilian jail. Sentencing is Jude to be passed on the 6th of
:05:48. > :05:51.December. Marines B and C were told by the judge, you are now free to
:05:52. > :05:56.return to your normal place of duty, although the anonymity order has not
:05:57. > :05:59.yet -- not yet been lifted. One of the strongest storms ever
:06:00. > :06:01.recorded has torn through the central islands of the Philippines,
:06:02. > :06:04.causing landslides and flash floods. When Super Typhoon Haiyan hit land,
:06:05. > :06:08.it triggered a storm surge that inundated coastal villages. Roofs
:06:09. > :06:13.were ripped off houses, and power lines were brought down. The

:06:45. > :06:51.coastal town of talk Obama was trumped by storm surge. -- the
:06:52. > :06:56.coastal town was swamped by storm surge. Satellite images tracked the
:06:57. > :07:02.typhoon's relentless progress. It is heading towards Vietnam and southern
:07:03. > :07:06.China. Millions of people had been urged to seek shelter. Some had
:07:07. > :07:12.chosen to stay put. Filipinos are well used to typhoons. They have had
:07:13. > :07:16.more than 20 this year, but none of this strength. And the country is
:07:17. > :07:20.still recovering from an earthquake last month that left hundreds stared
:07:21. > :07:27.and tens of thousands of people living in temporary shelter. Today,
:07:28. > :07:29.those same people had to face a Super Typhoon Haiyan the president
:07:30. > :07:39.has called for the country to pull together.
:07:40. > :07:43.TRANSLATION: Snowstorm can bring the United Filipino people to their

:07:51. > :07:56.storm. After such heavy rain, there remains a high risk of landslides.
:07:57. > :07:59.People across the Philippines are facing a difficult night. The
:08:00. > :08:04.capital, Manila, largely avoided the brunt of the damage, but elsewhere,
:08:05. > :08:09.the aid agencies are saying the damage could be unprecedented. One
:08:10. > :08:14.United Nations official told me hundreds of thousands of homes could
:08:15. > :08:18.have been damaged or destroyed. Already, many families have lost
:08:19. > :08:21.everything. But it may be days before we know the full extent of
:08:22. > :08:26.the damage, and the number of lives that have been lost.
:08:27. > :08:28.Almost a fifth of the NHS's maternity budget in England is being
:08:29. > :08:32.spent on insurance against clinical negligence. That's the equivalent of
:08:33. > :08:36.?700 for every baby born, according to figures from the spending
:08:37. > :08:39.watchdog. Mistakes made during labour, and errors resulting in
:08:40. > :08:42.cerebral palsy, are the most common reasons behind claims. But the
:08:43. > :08:45.government insists safety standards are improving. Dominic Hughes
:08:46. > :08:55.reports. At three days old, this baby and his
:08:56. > :09:03.mother are enjoying a moment of tranquillity. He was born on a
:09:04. > :09:06.typically busy maternity unit at Liverpool Women's Hospital. In
:09:07. > :09:09.England, the number of births has increased by almost a quarter in the
:09:10. > :09:17.last arcade and is currently at its highest level for 40 years. More
:09:18. > :09:21.births, with more complications. We have an increased complexity of the
:09:22. > :09:26.mums delivering. Some through patient choice, choosing to deliver
:09:27. > :09:28.when they are older. Some with a more obese population, some with
:09:29. > :09:35.complex medical problems who would never have had a pregnancy before.
:09:36. > :09:39.The vast majority of women, over 80%, say the care they received
:09:40. > :09:43.during birth and maternity is excellent or very good. But this
:09:44. > :09:45.report says there are still unexplained differences in the
:09:46. > :09:51.quality of care between different trusts. And failures of care in
:09:52. > :09:54.maternity services can have catastrophic and expensive
:09:55. > :10:01.consequences. Each birth in England costs the NHS at around ?3700. Of
:10:02. > :10:06.that, ?700 is spent on insurance against claims for medical
:10:07. > :10:09.negligence. Individual claims have increased by 80% in the last five
:10:10. > :10:15.years, a similar picture to the rest of the NHS. Litigation was vital to
:10:16. > :10:19.provide security for Louis Rodriguez. His family know he will
:10:20. > :10:22.need a lifetime of care, after being left with severe brain injury
:10:23. > :10:30.following mistakes made during his birth. His night-time care alone
:10:31. > :10:34.costs ?50,000 a year. As an adult, those care costs will increase.
:10:35. > :10:40.Equipment increases, everything rises in price. So, you know, the
:10:41. > :10:49.amount of money that you have as to last a lifetime. In 2011, one in 133
:10:50. > :10:52.babies in England was stillborn or die shortly after birth, an
:10:53. > :10:57.improvement, but not as good as other parts of the UK. Negligence
:10:58. > :11:03.lawyers say the NHS must invest in staff. We need more midwives and
:11:04. > :11:07.consultants on the ward for difficult cases, and lessons should
:11:08. > :11:12.be learned. Time and time again the stay mistakes are being made.
:11:13. > :11:15.Ministers say more midwives than ever before are being trained, but
:11:16. > :11:19.there is still too much variation between the best and the rest.
:11:20. > :11:22.Giving birth is not without risk, but it is worth remembering that the

:12:32. > :12:37.sense are you getting the prospect of a breakthrough? We will know soon
:12:38. > :12:41.because just a few minutes ago the most important meeting began, which
:12:42. > :12:46.includes the US Secretary of State and his Iranian counterpart. They
:12:47. > :12:51.may be looking at considering a limited first step agreement under
:12:52. > :12:54.which Iran would agree to restrict its uranium enrichment programme and
:12:55. > :12:59.the West would agree to lift some sanctions. These talks have a deeper
:13:00. > :13:02.purpose as well. They are about the United States and Iran exploring
:13:03. > :13:07.ways of reconciling, after three decades of mistrust. That will not
:13:08. > :13:11.happen all in one go here in Geneva, but if they manage to end their
:13:12. > :13:15.differences, then a lasting nuclear deal may be possible. One thing to
:13:16. > :13:20.bear in mind is that Israel is deeply opposed to what is going on

:13:55. > :13:58.who hit him has not owned up and has not been caught. Today, his
:13:59. > :14:05.devastated family made an appeal. His uncle, flanked by the boy's
:14:06. > :14:08.parents. The family want to appeal to the person or persons who did
:14:09. > :14:12.this, or know who did this. Find it in their hearts to come forward, so
:14:13. > :14:18.we can find the answers we need. Imagine if this was your little boy
:14:19. > :14:24.and how you would be feeling. With this in mind, please contact police
:14:25. > :14:28.urgently. This is Danny in his bright green coat, moments before he
:14:29. > :14:33.was killed. The toddler had just been to get a Christmas toy
:14:34. > :14:36.catalogue to choose his presence. Danny was knocked down as he crossed
:14:37. > :14:40.this side in Darlington. Police are in no doubt that the ride that
:14:41. > :14:45.involved would have known instantly what had happened, but that driver
:14:46. > :14:50.then drove off, leaving the three-year-old dying in the road.
:14:51. > :14:54.Detectives believe the driver of a light-coloured van, possibly from
:14:55. > :14:58.outside the area, may be responsible for what happened here. Danny's
:14:59. > :15:04.family say they have been left shattered. Instead of looking
:15:05. > :15:09.forward to planning Christmas as a family, we face the devastating task
:15:10. > :15:15.of planning Danny's funeral. We desperately need to know how and why
:15:16. > :15:18.this happened. Police think this was an accident and the driver panicked,
:15:19. > :15:26.but they hope today's appeal will lead to that person finally coming
:15:27. > :15:33.forward. Our top story: A Royal Marina is

:16:03. > :16:06.Now, many times we've reported on this programme about the so-called
:16:07. > :16:11.glass ceiling faced by British women in the boardroom. Now new research

:16:15. > :16:20.positions in the 100 largest listed companies. That's still below target
:16:21. > :16:23.levels. And, for the very top job, there are only two female chief
:16:24. > :16:25.executives. But one country now making significant inroads,
:16:26. > :16:30.particularly in finance, is India, where no fewer than eight major
:16:31. > :16:31.banks are led by women. Our correspondent Reeta Chakrabarti
:16:32. > :16:45.reports now from Mumbai. Banking has been one of the engines
:16:46. > :16:48.driving the Indian economy, and its growth has seen a startling rise in
:16:49. > :16:54.the success of women - not just on the shop floor but right at the very
:16:55. > :16:58.top. Chanda Kochhar heads up India's
:16:59. > :17:03.second-largest bank, overseeing 65,000 people and a network of
:17:04. > :17:09.thousands of ranches. How have women like her done so well? The banks are
:17:10. > :17:13.making decisions based on merit, picking and choosing the candidate
:17:14. > :17:17.that they think is most meritorious at that point in time, without any
:17:18. > :17:26.inhibition in their mind of whether they are male or female. As banking
:17:27. > :17:29.has grown, so has female talent. ICICI has nurtured promising women
:17:30. > :17:35.since the 1980s and eight major banks are now headed by female chief
:17:36. > :17:38.executives. They include Shikha Sharma, boss of a multi-billion
:17:39. > :17:44.pound global bank. She says Indian women are supported by domestic help
:17:45. > :17:50.and the extended family. I think family support is a huge
:17:51. > :17:53.distinction for us. So my mum all my mother-in-law or even my father or
:17:54. > :17:59.father-in-law would come by and help me when I was stuck in a situation.

:18:17. > :18:21.What would I do at home? I want to work and contribute. More women are
:18:22. > :18:28.breaking the glass ceiling, it is more about the talent you have and
:18:29. > :18:32.less about the social constraints. India's first female banking boss
:18:33. > :18:36.was in the 1990s, she says it was lonely than being the only woman at
:18:37. > :18:43.the top. But banking was always seen as a good option for women. It was a
:18:44. > :18:48.dream job for women. The family did not object to them. They went to an
:18:49. > :18:53.office, set in the air conditioning, they were very happy and meeting
:18:54. > :18:59.many people, dealing with money, it was glamorous. Women have always
:19:00. > :19:03.worked in India but they're arise in the last two decades, in banking at
:19:04. > :19:07.least, has proved a phenomenal success, which is remarkable given
:19:08. > :19:12.the conservative attitudes to women in many parts of the country.
:19:13. > :19:15.With much of the population lacking basic education, those attitudes
:19:16. > :19:21.will not disappear soon, but the educated middle-class is growing and

:19:55. > :20:01.BMP in general, Adam Afriyie, is not a household name but he wants to
:20:02. > :20:08.become one -- the MP in general. He upset many colleagues, who accused
:20:09. > :20:13.him of time wasting, because the Referendum Bill has a very limited
:20:14. > :20:17.amount of time to become law. So much so, the Foreign Secretary
:20:18. > :20:22.advised his Conservative colleagues to keep their traps shut. Many did,
:20:23. > :20:28.but Labour MPs talked and talked to eat up valuable time, so much so
:20:29. > :20:31.there was not time for a vote on a day-to-day referendum. MPs return in
