:01:48. > :01:50.trial has heard that Tony Blair had an hour long conversation with
:01:51. > :01:53.Rebekah Brooks, the former editor of the News of the World, just days
:01:54. > :01:56.before she was arrested in July 2011. The jury was shown an email in
:01:57. > :01:59.which Ms Brooks said the former Prime Minister offered to give
:02:00. > :02:03.unofficial advice to the Murdoch family, major shareholders of News
:02:04. > :02:09.International. Mr Blair issued a statement today saying he was simply
:02:10. > :02:17.giving informal advice. Let's join Matt Prodger at the Old Bailey.
:02:18. > :02:23.Today, the jury was taken back in time to July 11, 2011. The News of
:02:24. > :02:27.the World had just collapsed beneath the weight of the phone hacking
:02:28. > :02:31.scandal. The former editor, Rebekah Brooks, was six days away from
:02:32. > :02:34.arrest by police. According to evidence this morning, she was
:02:35. > :02:40.taking advice from the former Prime Minister himself.
:02:41. > :02:44.Tony Blair and Rebekah Brooks, back in the days when he was Prime
:02:45. > :02:50.Minister and she was editor of Britain's bestselling newspaper. Ten
:02:51. > :02:55.years on, she is standing trial. And the court was today told that at the
:02:56. > :03:00.height of the media storm over the phone hacking scandal, she sent Mr
:03:01. > :03:04.Blair -- said Mr Blair offered his help as an unofficial adviser will
:03:05. > :03:05.stop in 2011, she sent an e-mail to her boss, James Murdoch, discussing
:03:06. > :03:23.the situation. She said: The Hutton report was the official
:03:24. > :03:26.enquiry a decade ago into the death of the government scientist, Doctor
:03:27. > :03:30.David Kelly. It exonerated Tony Blair and other
:03:31. > :03:37.officials of any involvement in the dodgy dossier about weapons of mass
:03:38. > :03:40.destruction. Rebekah Brooks went on to say that Tony Blair had told her
:03:41. > :03:50.to keep strong and definitely sleeping pills.
:03:51. > :04:07.Tony Blair's office tonight said that he had simply been giving
:04:08. > :04:11.informal advice over the phone. He had made it absolutely clear to miss
:04:12. > :04:15.brooks that it was essential to have a transparent and independent
:04:16. > :04:19.process to get to the bottom of what had happened.
:04:20. > :04:25.Rebekah Brooks left court with her husband, Charlie, also standing
:04:26. > :04:28.trial. Of the seven defendants, she faces the most charges. Conspiracy
:04:29. > :04:33.to intercept voice mails, bribe public officials, and perverted the
:04:34. > :04:37.course of justice. All the defendants say that they are
:04:38. > :04:42.innocent. Today marked the end of the
:04:43. > :04:46.prosecution case. The halfway point of the trial. From here on in, the
:04:47. > :04:54.defendants give their version of events. Rebekah Brooks' defence
:04:55. > :04:57.begins tomorrow morning. There is a tense stand-off between
:04:58. > :05:01.protesters and police in the Ukrainian capital tonight. It
:05:02. > :05:04.follows the worst violence since thousands took to the streets last
:05:05. > :05:07.November to protest a government decision to reject a deal with the
:05:08. > :05:13.EU in favour of closer ties with Russia. The number of people killed
:05:14. > :05:18.in overnight clashes has risen to 26. Today, in Kiev, all schools, the
:05:19. > :05:22.Underground network and many shops are closed. An emergency meeting of
:05:23. > :05:25.European Union foreign ministers has been called with some demanding
:05:26. > :05:31.sanctions. Our correspondent, Daniel Sanford, reports from Independence
:05:32. > :05:38.Square in Kiev, at the heart of the protests.
:05:39. > :05:45.Lunchtime today in the heart of a major European city. And riot police
:05:46. > :05:49.hurled rocks and tear gas at the protesters they have been fighting
:05:50. > :05:55.for more than 24 hours. Faced with a low-level revolution, they have
:05:56. > :06:01.resorted to firing plastic bullets and shotgun pellets. There have been
:06:02. > :06:04.hundreds of injuries. The anger of the protesters is now matched by the
:06:05. > :06:09.anger of the riot police who now understand the risks involved.
:06:10. > :06:14.Several of their colleagues were killed in the fighting yesterday.
:06:15. > :06:19.This is the worst violence Ukraine has seen since independence. 26
:06:20. > :06:27.people were killed yesterday and overnight. The anger started in
:06:28. > :06:29.November when President Viktor Yanukovych signalled a move away
:06:30. > :06:38.from the European Union and back towards Russia. And it has
:06:39. > :06:43.intensified week by week. Today, the president turned on moderate
:06:44. > :06:47.opposition leaders. TRANSLATION: They crossed the line when they
:06:48. > :06:50.encouraged people to take up arms. It is a grave violation of the law
:06:51. > :06:57.and those who broke the law must face trial. This morning, the
:06:58. > :07:01.aftermath of the worst fighting was everywhere. What had been the
:07:02. > :07:07.opposition headquarters was a burnt shell. At this one central Kiev
:07:08. > :07:13.hospital, they took in 150 injured people overnight, including this
:07:14. > :07:22.man, who told me that riot police beat him unconscious. TRANSLATION:

:07:29. > :07:34.independent country, freedom for our families. But this dictator makes us
:07:35. > :07:38.nervous. As the women of Independence Square appeared for
:07:39. > :07:47.another night of violence, the Telly Klitschko, the world's champion

:08:16. > :08:20.Here, the number of people out of work as phone again, adding to signs
:08:21. > :08:26.of a continued recovery in the economy. The number of unemployed
:08:27. > :08:30.fell by 125,000 in the last three months of 4013. The latest estimates
:08:31. > :08:33.show 2.3 million people are now out of work, according to the office for
:08:34. > :08:40.National statistics. Youth unemployment has also fallen, now
:08:41. > :08:45.standing at just over 900,000. Its lowest level since the spring of
:08:46. > :08:50.2011. Our chief economic correspondent, dupe them, looks at
:08:51. > :08:53.what the figures mean on the ground. -- Hugh Pym. Economic growth is
:08:54. > :08:57.governing omentum, which means more jobs, including near where the
:08:58. > :09:02.holiday business, Center Parcs, is building a new site. 1500 workers
:09:03. > :09:05.are needed to run the centre. They have had 11,000 applications and the
:09:06. > :09:10.lucky ones are breezed to get in break. Why was not aware of the
:09:11. > :09:14.competition for jobs at the time. You focus on the jobs you are
:09:15. > :09:18.interested in. After coming on board, I discovered how much
:09:19. > :09:23.accommodation there was. I've found getting a job very difficult. I was
:09:24. > :09:30.looking everywhere, newspapers, online. I was struggling to find
:09:31. > :09:34.anything. It was quite a relief when iPhone Center Parcs. Ministers said
:09:35. > :09:37.the fall in the jobless total was further proof that the economic plan
:09:38. > :09:42.was working. Labour argued that although youth unemployment has
:09:43. > :09:46.fallen to its lowest in three years, there was still one in five young
:09:47. > :09:51.people out of work. Taking a closer look at the growth of Britain's
:09:52. > :09:55.workforce reveals varying trends. The total number employed by an
:09:56. > :10:00.organisation was 25.5 million in the three months to December, up 0.2% on
:10:01. > :10:04.the previous three months. The number self-employed was 4.4
:10:05. > :10:10.million, up by a much larger proportion, 4.1%.
:10:11. > :10:15.One of those who has joined the ranks of the self-employed, working
:10:16. > :10:19.from home, is Roger. He lost his job at a technology business but
:10:20. > :10:22.welcomes the chance to go it alone, refurbishing bungalows. He knows it
:10:23. > :10:26.might take time to develop a steady income. Until the business is up and
:10:27. > :10:28.running, you do not know what costs will be or what the market is
:10:29. > :10:31.running, you do not know what costs will be like will stop you do not
:10:32. > :10:35.know whether you are going to be successful so it is a step into the
:10:36. > :10:39.unknown. At times, it can be a little bit scary. Some argue that
:10:40. > :10:42.the growth in self-employment suggests the jobs market is more
:10:43. > :10:46.uncertain than it looks. On one hand, we have people who may have
:10:47. > :10:50.been forced to be self-employed, people who have lost their jobs and
:10:51. > :10:55.have decided to not stay on welfare but create a new business. On the
:10:56. > :10:56.other hand there is increasingly entrepreneurial spirit, people
:10:57. > :11:02.taking you risk who have good ideas. Unemployment is not falling
:11:03. > :11:05.as fast as it was. In Northern Ireland, there was a slight
:11:06. > :11:09.increase. Through a statistical quirk, the UK's jobless rate is
:11:10. > :11:13.higher than reported last month but there was Roger news for those in
:11:14. > :11:17.work with a slight pick-up in wage increases.
:11:18. > :11:25.Norman Smith is in Westminster for us. Inflation yesterday, jobs today.
:11:26. > :11:26.It all adds up to music in the government's ears.
:11:27. > :11:30.At first glance, the figures are hugely encouraging for ministers
:11:31. > :11:35.with unemployment down by a big chunk. Difficult areas like
:11:36. > :11:40.long-term unemployment and youth employment are down. But I suspect
:11:41. > :11:44.there is still a nagging fear in the pit of ministerial stomachs, and it
:11:45. > :11:48.is this. Time. Is there no one of time ahead of the next election for
:11:49. > :11:51.the recovery to release a cold so that people feel better off. Because
:11:52. > :11:56.if you look at page, yes it is gradually clawing its way back to
:11:57. > :12:04.overtake inflation, but it may only do so a few months and head of the
:12:05. > :12:06.next election and ministers need a chunky six-month period where
:12:07. > :12:10.earnings outstrip prices if they are to feel a feel-good factor. The
:12:11. > :12:13.politics of the economy have become all about timing. No one doubts the
:12:14. > :12:21.recovery is taking place but ministers really need the pace of
:12:22. > :12:24.that recovery to pick up. The parents of a six-day old baby

:13:35. > :13:36.think she took it all in. I don't think she understood what had

:17:32. > :17:36.has control in terms of forward planning and support that people
:17:37. > :17:41.need, they are failing and not doing enough. Here in Winchester, people
:17:42. > :17:53.praise the local authorities for keeping some floods at bay by
:17:54. > :17:56.diverging water into fields. But even here, views are mixed. At first

:19:24. > :19:27.lives near the crime scene with his wife and two children. Forensic
:19:28. > :19:30.police have been scouring the garden with metal detectors. His next-door

:19:36. > :19:45.Last night they came to start a search the roof. In a sea, the
:19:46. > :19:49.prosecutor confirmed he is being held on suspicion of weapons
:19:50. > :19:53.trafficking. They found Beluga pistol in his possession but not the
:19:54. > :19:57.Swiss version used in the murders. Could he have been there that day, I
:19:58. > :20:01.asked? His mobile phone signal was picked up in a location that meant
:20:02. > :20:06.he could have been at the murder scene at the right time, he replied.
:20:07. > :20:11.So now they are trawling his background. The houses he has lived
:20:12. > :20:15.in, where he worked. His best round was also taken into custody today on
:20:16. > :20:20.suspicion of arms trafficking. The man they have in custody is known by
:20:21. > :20:25.pretty much everyone here. That is because he was their village
:20:26. > :20:29.policeman for some 15 years. That is until he was sacked last June for
:20:30. > :20:34.the misuse of public funds, said one official. I am also told that for 12
:20:35. > :20:38.years he was a reservist in the French gendarmerie, the military
:20:39. > :20:44.police. The prosecutor told us tourists had complained he was
:20:45. > :20:49.aggressive, even racist, a sentiment echoed by this former councillor. He
:20:50. > :20:56.was very strange. At certain moments he would get angry. He was seriously
:20:57. > :21:00.moody. Police urge caution. It certainly there is an intriguing
:21:01. > :21:05.profile. He had collected grenades and World War II weapons. He is a
:21:06. > :21:09.keen motorcyclist. The scooters they have removed is different to the one
:21:10. > :21:14.that was seen. Then there is the helmet in the picture. Unusual. Only
:21:15. > :21:18.8000 were made but they were issued to police. They have not yet found
:21:19. > :21:29.it. The obvious question is why would he be involved? No link has
:21:30. > :21:37.yet been established between him and the victims. So far there is no
:21:38. > :21:41.weapon and no motive. The partner of a former Guardian
:21:42. > :21:43.journalist, who was held for nine hours at Heathrow Airport under
:21:44. > :21:45.anti-terrorism laws, has lost his High Court claim that he was

:22:19. > :22:21.completely inconsequential. Fortunately for the world, the
:22:22. > :22:25.British Empire collapsed a long time ago. This ruling has a fact within
:22:26. > :22:31.the small borders of this single country. We are not going to

:22:42. > :22:46.claims he had been used as a mule to transport secret documents. I would
:22:47. > :22:52.do it again and not for a second I regret that. I was not being used. I
:22:53. > :22:57.was very aware of what I was doing at that time. At the root of this
:22:58. > :23:03.case is the disclosure of classified information relating to both
:23:04. > :23:08.America's National Security Agency, the NSA, and the British counterpart
:23:09. > :23:13.GCHQ. The former contractor Edward Snowden had leaked thousands of
:23:14. > :23:17.documents to the then Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald. When
:23:18. > :23:21.David Miranda, with 58,000 confidential files, came through
:23:22. > :23:25.Heathrow, the police used terrorism powers to stop him and that proved
:23:26. > :23:28.controversial. While David Miranda's lawyers argued that his
:23:29. > :23:33.detention had been unlawful, the judges here said they had to strike
:23:34. > :23:36.a balance between press freedom and national security. So they came down
:23:37. > :23:41.in favour of the Government and the police. We believed that he was
:23:42. > :23:46.carrying highly classified documents. If those had reached the
:23:47. > :23:49.public domain, we believed it would be very damaging to national
:23:50. > :23:54.security, and indeed that people's lives would be put in danger. Last
:23:55. > :23:58.summer as the Guardian started publishing details of the leaked
:23:59. > :24:03.documents, the paper described how it had come under public pressure to
:24:04. > :24:05.hand them over. As Glenn Greenwald continues his investigative work,
:24:06. > :24:12.his partner is planning an appeal against the ruling. Jim Kelly, BBC

:24:16. > :24:17.Pussy Riot have been attacked by Cossack patrol men at the Winter
:24:18. > :24:21.Olympics in Sochi. The group said they were attacked with pepper spray
:24:22. > :24:24.and beaten as they tried to perform a song. Yesterday two of the group
:24:25. > :24:26.were released after being held on suspicion of theft. They had

:24:34. > :24:37.curling teams were in action. Both the men and the women were hoping to
:24:38. > :24:39.reach the finals and guarantee themselves a medal. The women went
:24:40. > :24:49.first against an unbeaten Canada, losing a tight match on the final
:24:50. > :24:56.stone. And in the last few minutes, the men have triumphed over Sweden.

:25:01. > :25:06.bagpipe welcome for the British fans as they arrived to cheer on their
:25:07. > :25:11.curlers. Two Olympic finals in tantalising reach. They have been
:25:12. > :25:19.one of the top teams for years now, so hopefully just play to form. My
:25:20. > :25:23.mates are all watching it, even those that don't like curling. They
:25:24. > :25:27.were up at five o'clock, screaming their heads. First the women's team.
:25:28. > :25:31.Eve Muirhead and players faced unbeaten Canada and from the start,
:25:32. > :25:36.it seemed the curling gods were against them. Eve Muirhead's Stone
:25:37. > :25:41.had deviated off as stray brush hair, a tiny detail which had a huge
:25:42. > :25:45.impact. It allowed Canada to take the lead which they never
:25:46. > :25:49.relinquished and coolly and clinically, they broke British
:25:50. > :25:55.charts. A six - four defeat means Eve Muirhead's team play for bronze
:25:56. > :25:59.tomorrow with their hopes of gold now over. I am proud of the girls.
:26:00. > :26:03.We gave it 110% and played the best we could play as a team. We will
:26:04. > :26:07.give it our all tomorrow for that bronze medal because we don't want
:26:08. > :26:12.to go home and he handed. British attention then turned to the man,
:26:13. > :26:15.against Sweden. What followed was predictably tents. With the teams
:26:16. > :26:23.level at two all, Swedish mistake put Britain ahead. But by the final
:26:24. > :26:27.stone of the final end, David Murdoch's team were trailing 5-4.
:26:28. > :26:31.Once again it was down to the captain. Could heap or offer another
:26:32. > :26:39.extraordinary turnaround? Unforgettably, gloriously, he did.
:26:40. > :26:45.-- could heap pull off? A place in the Olympic final for Britain on
:26:46. > :26:50.what has turned into an incredible day. Yes, what result for Britain's
:26:51. > :26:54.men. They will play in the final on Friday. They are of course now
:26:55. > :26:59.guaranteed a medal. That means that with three medals, this is already
:27:00. > :27:06.Britain's best Winter Olympics since 1936. All in all, quite a day.
:27:07. > :27:10.Thanks very much. Now it is time for the weather.
:27:11. > :27:15.Hello. Not particularly exhilarating today, it has to be said. Big cloud
:27:16. > :27:19.coming in now with some wind and rain on the way. For most of us, it
:27:20. > :27:23.will happen through the night and for a time tomorrow morning, so that
:27:24. > :27:29.tomorrow afternoon will be a little bit drier and brighter. Let's see
:27:30. > :27:34.what is coming our way. This cloud is coming in from the Atlantic by
:27:35. > :27:38.this area of low pressure. The cloud is biggest across western areas
:27:39. > :27:44.where we have the rain. The winds are strengthening to gale force
:27:45. > :27:49.across the South and southwestern coasts. Any rainfall is not welcome
:27:50. > :27:53.in the flooded areas, especially across the South and South West. For
:27:54. > :27:58.most it will be dribs and drabs, no more than that. Very mild, seven to
:27:59. > :28:03.eight degrees, with strong winds and rain for a time for many of us
:28:04. > :28:07.tomorrow morning. It may last until lunchtime in the extreme East and
:28:08. > :28:12.the South East. The broad message is that the afternoon tomorrow is going
:28:13. > :28:16.to be a bright one. Occasionally interrupted by one or two heavy
:28:17. > :28:21.showers. Maybe Hale and thunder as well, so take your umbrella as well.
:28:22. > :28:27.The end of the week looks pretty unsettled once again. A big area of
:28:28. > :28:31.low pressure. Nothing to be alarmed about. Just wind and rain once again
:28:32. > :28:37.through the course of Friday. Yes, gale force winds along the coast.
:28:38. > :28:41.Again, one or two showers but no more severe than that, you will be
:28:42. > :28:45.pleased to know. Come the weekend, the winds are going to pick up again
:28:46. > :28:48.and it could be very windy in western areas of the UK. The weather
:28:49. > :28:55.on Saturday, out of the two, will be better. On Sunday, there should be
:28:56. > :28:59.rain on the way but it is not certain when and where. There will
:29:00. > :29:02.be some rain around on Sunday. Thank you.
:29:03. > :29:03.That is all from the
