:01:46. > :01:50.It follows an independent enquiry which recommended the issue and
:01:51. > :01:54.apology, though it found insufficient evidence to back up the
:01:55. > :01:58.accusations. He was suspended while the party investigate if he has
:01:59. > :02:02.brought them into disrepute. In a personal statement, he said he
:02:03. > :02:05.regretted any hurt that had been caused, but he said he had been the

:02:31. > :02:36.former chief executive. To his supporters, and electoral mastermind
:02:37. > :02:41.who made them a party of government, to his accusers, a man who sexually
:02:42. > :02:45.harassed staff. Either way, he is no longer a Liberal Democrat, suspended
:02:46. > :02:51.pending a new investigation, a decision he may challenge in the
:02:52. > :02:59.courts. It is important we do things properly, there will be due process,
:03:00. > :03:04.and people who made complaint about him will have their case heard, and
:03:05. > :03:08.so will he. He has always denied sexually harassing staff. The party
:03:09. > :03:12.investigation said the claims could not be proven but were credible. His
:03:13. > :03:18.refusal to apologise has prompted another enquiry, into whether he has
:03:19. > :03:22.brought the party into disrepute. In a statement, he spoke of how
:03:23. > :03:27.enormously distressed he was, what he called a smear campaign, and
:03:28. > :03:30.lynch mob mentality from some party members, which led him to the depths
:03:31. > :03:37.of depression and consideration of self harm. He said he never intended
:03:38. > :03:44.to hurt, in Paris or upset anyone, but, I will not offer an apology, he
:03:45. > :03:49.said, because people should not say what they do not mean. He has been
:03:50. > :03:55.through a year of hell, people might have been driven close to suicide by
:03:56. > :03:58.the publicity and humiliation he has suffered and through the
:03:59. > :04:02.newspapers, day after day after day. This is a good man who has been
:04:03. > :04:09.punished by the party, and the leadership seems to be showing scant
:04:10. > :04:11.regard for due process. One of the women who worked alongside him in
:04:12. > :04:15.the House of Lords and who had complained about his behaviour said
:04:16. > :04:20.he should not be allowed to return. He should not be readmitted. I am
:04:21. > :04:27.happy to go through a disciplinary procedure about him being a party
:04:28. > :04:30.member, but it is untenable for the Liberal Democrats to have a credible
:04:31. > :04:35.voice on equalities and women's issues in the future if he was
:04:36. > :04:40.actually allowed to be back on the benches in the House of Lords. A row
:04:41. > :04:43.about one party member here may seem rather historic and internal, but it

:05:02. > :05:05.have met him and lots of people know the women who have made the
:05:06. > :05:11.allegations. It is a bit like a family at war. It is a board that is

:05:40. > :05:46.handed -- handled and they ask, is this the way -- is this a party that
:05:47. > :05:53.is fit for government, operating at its most competent? Many people in
:05:54. > :05:57.the party say, is this the best way to appeal to younger voters, female
:05:58. > :06:02.voters, especially ahead of the European elections? What the party
:06:03. > :06:07.hopes is that by this relatively decisive action today, to suspend
:06:08. > :06:10.Lord Rennard, not just from his group in the House of Lords but from
:06:11. > :06:16.the party entirely, that that will draw a line under the crisis in the
:06:17. > :06:20.short-term, it will mean there is an investigation that will carry on,
:06:21. > :06:22.that can reach a conclusion at the end, and hopefully reach a
:06:23. > :06:27.resolution before the European elections. But in the last few
:06:28. > :06:32.minutes, Lord Rennard has issued a statement in which he says he does
:06:33. > :06:36.not wish to see legal action between fellow party members, but he says,
:06:37. > :06:39.in light of the decision taken against him today, he is having to
:06:40. > :06:44.take legal advice with a view to civil action against the party. Now,
:06:45. > :06:51.we have the prospect of legal action tracking this process out even

:07:58. > :08:06.they had found his body, near his former home in Kirkcaldy. His mother
:08:07. > :08:11.was charged under her married name. Her first appearance in this court

:08:30. > :08:36.take my son in, I am devastated, even when we found out, looking at
:08:37. > :08:41.his empty peg, it is horrible. The police continued their search of the
:08:42. > :08:45.area near where the body was found. His mother made no plea or

:10:14. > :10:17.The report's author says the personal attacks and political

:11:06. > :11:10.not fit for purpose. 18 months after this all started here in Downing
:11:11. > :11:14.Street, the report calls for new standards of professionalism and

:22:40. > :22:45.ministers are also announcing proposals for tougher rules on the
:22:46. > :22:49.benefits that immigrants can claim. Welfare Secretary Iain Duncan Smith
:22:50. > :22:52.says that from April, new EU migrants will no longer be able to
:22:53. > :22:58.claim Housing benefit if they are receiving job-seekers allowance.
:22:59. > :23:02.Anybody who wants to come here needs to be coming to look for work and to
:23:03. > :23:05.take work, and to make contributions, not to come because
:23:06. > :23:10.the benefits system is more generous. However, the European
:23:11. > :23:13.Commission says EU states are not obliged to provide housing benefit,
:23:14. > :23:17.and after three months, jobless migrants can be sent home if they
:23:18. > :23:22.cannot afford to support themselves. Both parties are terrified about
:23:23. > :23:26.public opinion, with just months to go before the European elections.
:23:27. > :23:30.One of the issues they are frightened of is public opposition
:23:31. > :23:35.to welfare. The proposals trumpeted by Conservative and Labour today are
:23:36. > :23:38.both criticised as changing very little but with voters enthusiastic
:23:39. > :23:40.for Welfare Reform Bill we can expect many more tough sounding
:23:41. > :23:46.ideas in the coming weeks and months.
:23:47. > :23:51.At ten o'clock this morning, an alarm clock allsorts sounded in
:23:52. > :23:57.space. It happened on a probe which has had all of its systems shut down
:23:58. > :24:00.for two years to save energy. In the last few minutes we have heard that
:24:01. > :24:07.the alarm system worked, and tonight, the Rosetta probe is back
:24:08. > :24:11.in action. It was launched in 2004 by the European Space Agency. It has
:24:12. > :24:17.travelled 500 million miles from the Earth. Its mission is to put a
:24:18. > :24:20.robotic lander onto a comet to discover more about how the solar
:24:21. > :24:29.system came into existence. David Shukman reports. A vast lump of rock
:24:30. > :24:33.and ice, blasts of vapour bursting from its surface. This animation of
:24:34. > :24:39.a comet shows the mysterious and hostile world that a spacecraft will
:24:40. > :24:44.try to land on. Throughout human history, the glowing tails of comets
:24:45. > :24:51.have proved both frightening and enchanting. They have remained far
:24:52. > :24:54.beyond reach, until now. It is an audacious project, it is a huge
:24:55. > :24:59.mission, doing things we have never done before. We have had previous
:25:00. > :25:05.missions to comets, just flying by, taking snapshots, from hundreds but
:25:06. > :25:09.Rosetta is going to get up, close and personal with a comet. It was
:25:10. > :25:13.nearly ten years ago that the Rosetta spacecraft was launched. You
:25:14. > :25:21.need patience to be a space scientist, because only now is it
:25:22. > :25:24.approaching its key phase. Is extraordinary mission will try
:25:25. > :25:31.something incredibly daring. It is powered by solar panels, 14 metres
:25:32. > :25:38.long, because being so far away, the rays of the sun are far weaker than
:25:39. > :25:43.we are used to. Rosetta's journey has seen it go past Mars, using the
:25:44. > :25:46.gravity of the planet to speed up on a series of orbits, all the time
:25:47. > :25:52.accelerating so that it can catch up with the comic it is after, its
:25:53. > :25:56.destination. This has taken Rosetta out towards Jupiter. It is now
:25:57. > :26:00.circling back in, gaining on the comet, and if all goes well, it will
:26:01. > :26:08.close in for the first ever attempt to touch down on one of these
:26:09. > :26:11.bizarre objects. First, Rosetta will orbit the comet, getting pictures
:26:12. > :26:15.and choosing a landing site. Then, it will release a small craft which
:26:16. > :26:21.will descend to the surface. Comets are older than the planets, so we
:26:22. > :26:26.may learn if they brought us water and the building blocks for life.
:26:27. > :26:31.Comets act as a time travel capsule. From the start of the solar system,
:26:32. > :26:34.more than 4.6 billion years ago, they contain the earliest water and
:26:35. > :26:38.organic material which was there before the planets formed. So we
:26:39. > :26:43.will be able to understand where our water on Earth, and where we, came
:26:44. > :26:46.from. So, how the solar system evolved, and how, from a swirl of
:26:47. > :26:50.rocks, we eventually got the planets, and then life, are
:26:51. > :26:55.questions which this mission may help answer.
:26:56. > :27:03.That brings us to the weather, with John Hammond. Back down to earth
:27:04. > :27:09.with some fairly wintry hazards. Fog is already thickening up. There will
:27:10. > :27:16.be a frost around in the morning as well. Most of the frost and fog
:27:17. > :27:26.across central and east parts of the UK will be thickening up as the
:27:27. > :27:31.evening goes on. Further west, it is a different story, with rain heading
:27:32. > :27:39.into Scotland and Northern Ireland. Not a very nice start to the day
:27:40. > :27:45.across these western areas. The breeze but at least, with the
:27:46. > :27:53.clown, the bridges will have risen above freezing. -- with the cloud.
:27:54. > :28:04.Expect some fog for the morning rush-hour. Ltd brightness. Further
:28:05. > :28:14.west, the rain will be clearing out of Northern Ireland, moving into
:28:15. > :28:20.Scotland, Wales and west in England. It will feel chilly in most places.
:28:21. > :28:30.Tomorrow evening and night, the rain will be staggering eastwards. Moving
:28:31. > :28:32.into Wednesday, it will probably linger across eastern counties.
:28:33. > :28:41.Further west, brightening up on Wednesday. Although still, there
:28:42. > :28:45.will be some sharp showers around. Temperatures reaching respectable
:28:46. > :28:49.to. Some of us will have to scrape the windscreen first thing in the
:28:50. > :28:51.morning. That is all from us. Now, on BBC One we
