:02:17. > :02:25.Here's our security correspondent, Gordon Corera.
:02:26. > :02:33.Alexander Litvinenko met a slow, painful death. Poisoned by
:02:34. > :02:38.radioactive polonium. Today a judge concluded he was killed in an
:02:39. > :02:47.operation by the Russian security service, the FSB, likely authorised
:02:48. > :02:55.at the highest level. The FSB operation to kill Mr Litvinenko was
:02:56. > :03:00.probably approved by Mr Patrushev, then head of the FSB, and also by
:03:01. > :03:04.President Putin. Litvinenko was a former Russian
:03:05. > :03:08.intelligence officer, who had spoken out about corruption, and then fled
:03:09. > :03:14.with his family to Britain. In 2006 he came to this Central
:03:15. > :03:19.London hotel to meet two Russians. Former FSB officer Andrei Lugovoi
:03:20. > :03:24.and Dmitry Kovtun both caught here on CCTV. In the Pine Bar Litvinenko
:03:25. > :03:29.was served a drink from this teapot which was laced with radioactive
:03:30. > :03:33.polonium. Police would be able to follow a trail of radioactivity
:03:34. > :03:37.across London, from restaurants to football stadium, all leaving the
:03:38. > :03:44.public at risk. It took Litvinenko himself three weeks to die. But why
:03:45. > :03:48.was he killed? There were audible gasps here in court when the judge
:03:49. > :03:53.said responsibility probably lay at the highest levels of the Kremlin.
:03:54. > :03:59.And this report argues the motive was that Litvinenko was viewed in
:04:00. > :04:04.Russia as a traitor. Litvinenko was so hated that
:04:05. > :04:08.Russians special forces used his image for target practise. Today's
:04:09. > :04:13.report says his accusations that the FSB was behind these bombings of
:04:14. > :04:18.apartments in Moscow to justify a war as well as his disclosure about
:04:19. > :04:22.corruption and a personal animosity with Vladimir Putin all made him a
:04:23. > :04:26.target. And then there was also the fact that the Russians learned he
:04:27. > :04:31.had begun working with Britain's intelligence service MI6.
:04:32. > :04:36.Today, his widow who fought for years for this inquiry told me the
:04:37. > :04:40.British Government should now expel all Russian spies in their London
:04:41. > :04:46.embassy, and impose travel bans and sanctions on top officials.
:04:47. > :04:51.What I did is not against Russia. It is not against Russian people. I
:04:52. > :04:57.believe only these things might help Russian people one day to receive
:04:58. > :05:00.brighter future. Today in the Commons the Government said it would
:05:01. > :05:05.consider the implications of the report. The conclusion that the
:05:06. > :05:10.Russian state was probably involved in the murder of Mr Litvinenko is
:05:11. > :05:14.deeply disturbing. It goes without saying, that this
:05:15. > :05:19.was a blatant and unacceptable breach of the most fundamental
:05:20. > :05:25.tenets of international law, and of civilised behaviour.
:05:26. > :05:31.But the opposition criticised the Government's response. I am not sure
:05:32. > :05:35.it goes anywhere near enough in answering the seriousness of the
:05:36. > :05:38.findings in this report. Indeed it could send a dangerous signal to
:05:39. > :05:41.Russia that our response is too weak.
:05:42. > :05:46.Today, two of the most powerful men in Russia were named as likely
:05:47. > :05:49.responsible for what has been described as an act of nuclear
:05:50. > :05:53.terrorism on the streets of London. A murder which a decade on remains a
:05:54. > :05:58.defining issue between the two countries.
:05:59. > :06:01.Now there's mounting pressure on the Government here to take
:06:02. > :06:04.The Russian Foreign Ministry has once again denied any involvement
:06:05. > :06:06.in the assassination, and said the inquiry
:06:07. > :06:08.Our Moscow correspondent, Sarah Rainsford, looks
:06:09. > :06:13.at where today's report leaves relations between
:06:14. > :06:25.You wouldn't know Russia's President has just been implicated in a
:06:26. > :06:34.murder. People here are more worried about and economic crisis, even the
:06:35. > :06:37.cold than a killing abroad. That is partly down to the message
:06:38. > :06:42.they are getting from state television. It is reporting the
:06:43. > :06:47.inquiry into Alexander Litvinenko's murder, as a farce, biassed against
:06:48. > :06:50.Moscow from the start. Reporters are playing down the conclusion, that
:06:51. > :06:55.President Putin probably approved the killing.
:06:56. > :06:59.And in public at least, Russian officials are unflustered. At the
:07:00. > :07:03.foreign ministry the spokeswoman deflected my question over the trail
:07:04. > :07:11.of deadly polonium, dismissing the whole inquiry as politicised. We
:07:12. > :07:16.take it as a step towards to discredit Russia, and Russian
:07:17. > :07:19.official, Russian leaders, as we understand it was not a legal
:07:20. > :07:26.process, it was an imitation of a legal process. Russia has become the
:07:27. > :07:29.master of denial. Of painting the most serious accusations as part of
:07:30. > :07:33.an international political campaign against Moscow. That may work with
:07:34. > :07:36.the audience here at home, but the conclusions of the Litvinenko
:07:37. > :07:40.inquiry have the potential to plunge relations with the west to a new
:07:41. > :07:45.low. Despite calls to extradite the chief
:07:46. > :07:50.suspects to the UK, they are still here in Russia, today Andrei Lugovoi
:07:51. > :07:54.was protesting his innocence again. He has become a minor celebrity
:07:55. > :07:58.here. The murder of Alexander Litvinenko
:07:59. > :08:02.had major repercussions for relations with Moscow. Diplomats
:08:03. > :08:07.were expelled. Contacts between security services cut. But five
:08:08. > :08:12.years on, David Cameron was in Russia, encouraging trade as if
:08:13. > :08:15.nothing had happened. Then came the conflict in Ukraine and the annex
:08:16. > :08:21.casing of Crimea and the mood changed. The inquiry into
:08:22. > :08:24.Litvinenko's killing was announced. Now it its damning conclusion is out
:08:25. > :08:29.Russia's ambassador has been summoned to the Foreign Office. But
:08:30. > :08:34.some argue Russia's role in Syria makes it risky to rip up relations.
:08:35. > :08:37.Since it began air strikes there, Moscow has become central to any
:08:38. > :08:44.peace process. I personally do not think we should
:08:45. > :08:47.be concerned about deepening the row as such, the Russians themselves
:08:48. > :08:53.ought to have some consideration for that, and whether it is the, there
:08:54. > :08:57.is any sense in having a bigger bus up the one we are having already.
:08:58. > :09:01.Tonight the Kremlin was sounding defiant. President Putin's spokesman
:09:02. > :09:03.call the murder inquiry a joke, and insisted that Moscow will not accept
:09:04. > :09:07.its findings. David Cameron is now warning that
:09:08. > :09:10.a deal on EU reform may not happen His latest comments -
:09:11. > :09:14.speaking at the World Economic Forum - is in contrast to the more upbeat
:09:15. > :09:17.assessment of the chancellor The Prime Minister said it was more
:09:18. > :09:20.important to get it right Here's our economics editor,
:09:21. > :09:38.Kamal Ahmed, who's in Davos For a man who claimed not to be in a
:09:39. > :09:42.hurry, there was certainly a gear change over Europe today of the as
:09:43. > :09:46.the Prime Minister came to the Alps to sell to political and business
:09:47. > :09:52.leaders what he sees as the best deal for the European Union.
:09:53. > :09:58.It reforms, Britain can then stay in. I am not in a hurry, I can hold
:09:59. > :10:02.my referendum at any time up until the end of 2017. It would be good
:10:03. > :10:07.for Europe and good for Britain if we demonstrated that we can turn the
:10:08. > :10:11.good will there is into the actions that are necessary to put this
:10:12. > :10:15.question beyond doubt. The Prime Minister admitted there was still
:10:16. > :10:20.some way to go, and he made it clear that curbs on EU citizens coming to
:10:21. > :10:27.Britain were an essential part of the renegotiation package. If there
:10:28. > :10:34.is no deal on welfare curbs, for immigrants from the EU into Britain,
:10:35. > :10:37.is there no deal at all? This migration welfare question is
:10:38. > :10:41.absolutely crucial. You should have to wait four years before you get
:10:42. > :10:45.full access to our inwork welfare system. As I have said, that
:10:46. > :10:49.proposal remains on the table, I know that some other countries have
:10:50. > :10:55.difficulties with it. David Cameron's here in Davos with a big
:10:56. > :11:00.message for these business leaders. Back my efforts, he says, to keep
:11:01. > :11:05.Britain inside a reformed European Union, but actually it is not the
:11:06. > :11:09.big public stages that really matter here, it is those private
:11:10. > :11:13.negotiations with other European leaders and global leader, and those
:11:14. > :11:19.are happening today, outside that door.
:11:20. > :11:24.One of those meetings was with Mark Rutter the Dutch Prime Minister and
:11:25. > :11:28.Mr Cameron's ally, on the issue of curbing migration it wasn't all
:11:29. > :11:32.plain sailing It is a concrete idea on table has this notion of
:11:33. > :11:37.discrimination, what we have to do is find a solution for all the 28,
:11:38. > :11:41.in which you would up hold the principle of removement, up hold the
:11:42. > :11:46.principle of none discrimination and I think that is doable. Business
:11:47. > :11:50.leaders I spoke to here said June was the best date for a referendum.
:11:51. > :11:55.For others, though, it is simply not the case that Britain needs to be in
:11:56. > :12:00.the EU. I am not sure that David Cameron is representing our
:12:01. > :12:04.interests in Davos any way. I mean I think it is very disappointing that
:12:05. > :12:09.the changes that he is trying to push through are so small. The skies
:12:10. > :12:14.were clear over the Alps today but Mr Cameron knows there could be a
:12:15. > :12:17.few more icy moments before any deal is put to the British public in that
:12:18. > :12:24.long-awaited EU referendum. Our political editor,
:12:25. > :12:34.Laura Kuenssberg, is in Westminster. Laura it seems difficult to gauge
:12:35. > :12:37.progress on this from week-to-week. It is, George, but before David
:12:38. > :12:40.Cameron left a freezing Downing Street for a more freezing Davos,
:12:41. > :12:45.there was a sense building here that a February deal was not quite in the
:12:46. > :12:48.bag, but certainly very likely. But today, he is saying hold your horse,
:12:49. > :12:53.it just might not work out that way. Now that is not just because he
:12:54. > :12:56.doesn't want to be trapped by that expectation, but also because as I
:12:57. > :13:01.understand it, the negotiations are still a long way off from
:13:02. > :13:04.concluding, no texts of any proposals have been put forward, no
:13:05. > :13:08.final bargains have been struck in any of the Prime Minister's four
:13:09. > :13:13.areas where he once change -- wants change to happen. EU leaders want to
:13:14. > :13:16.help, they want to help Number Ten get this done and as quickly as
:13:17. > :13:21.possible, but as that summit deadline in less than four weeks
:13:22. > :13:22.approach, it is looming larger and larger, and it feels tighter by the
:13:23. > :13:27.day. A deferential culture
:13:28. > :13:30.and a failure to ask questions - that's how Jimmy Savile managed
:13:31. > :13:32.to get away with some sixty sexual assaults - including four rapes -
:13:33. > :13:35.while on BBC premises. But according to a leaked draft

:14:11. > :14:15.But the key question is what did people know at the time? What was
:14:16. > :14:19.the culture like? And most importantly, what did the people at
:14:20. > :14:25.the top know? Jimmy Savile, he tended to take over things when he
:14:26. > :14:34.was there. Derek ran Radio 1 in the late 70, he died last year.
:14:35. > :14:38.Savile was at his leaving party but we were here to discuss another

:14:53. > :14:56.the room Jimmy Savile came in, doing that, you know, touching his
:14:57. > :15:00.forelock, too many, all too many. Doreen was the official observer,
:15:01. > :15:06.she has never spoken before. She remembers everything. Most
:15:07. > :15:11.crucially, what he was accused of. Taking 14-year-old girls home, from
:15:12. > :15:19.Top Of The Pops. He said I believe that one of the stories was that you
:15:20. > :15:22.had girls, in your flat, in London. Girls home, from Top Of The Pops. He
:15:23. > :15:24.said I believe that one of the stories was that you had girls, in
:15:25. > :15:27.your flat, in London. So Jimmy Savile said, "Yes, yes, that's
:15:28. > :15:33.right." Savile said he was keeping the girls safe. You believed him?
:15:34. > :15:39.No, no reason to not believe him. And so did Derek. Would you have
:15:40. > :15:45.believed him? In this leaked report Dame Janet Smith spoke nor than 100
:15:46. > :15:50.people who heard rumours. These two senior figures from Radio 1 had
:15:51. > :15:58.heard nothing. No-one was whispering or gossiping? No. No-one said a word
:15:59. > :16:02.to you? Not a word. This is the conclusion of the draft report.
:16:03. > :16:07.No-one at the top knew. But the victims have their doubts. I met, we
:16:08. > :16:10.will call her Jane who was a 15-year-old and was assaulted by
:16:11. > :16:13.Savile in a Top Of The Pops dressing room. What she remembers are the
:16:14. > :16:23.people watching, when she was led into his room.
:16:24. > :16:34.I am certain people were aware of why Jimmy Saville took me to his
:16:35. > :16:41.jutting room. And you were aware of people watching you do that? Yes. In
:16:42. > :16:49.the 1970s, the lifestyle was different. Just morally it is so
:16:50. > :16:55.wrong. A draft report, some things are out of date. It is widely the
