:00:10. > :00:13.Eurozone leaders agree to centralise supervision of their

:00:13. > :00:18.banks to prevent any more going bust.

:00:18. > :00:21.Another blow for cycling. A major sponsors as the sport is no longer

:00:21. > :00:28.keen. Presidential rivals put fun at

:00:28. > :00:33.themselves and others for charity. I had a lot more energy in the

:00:33. > :00:39.second debate. I felt really well rested after the long nap I had in

:00:39. > :00:42.the first debate. Of course I am pleased that the president is here.

:00:42. > :00:47.We were chatting pleasantly this evening as if Tuesday never

:00:47. > :00:52.happened. Welcome to World News. Also:

:00:52. > :00:57.Creating petrol out of fresh air. I will be speaking to the British

:00:57. > :01:01.scientist behind a ground-breaking technology.

:01:01. > :01:11.Google's results are released too early, forcing the Shias into a

:01:15. > :01:23.downward spiral. -- are forcing shares.

:01:24. > :01:28.First, let's get to the news from Brussels. The President of the

:01:28. > :01:31.European Council and Jose Manuel Barroso are speaking following the

:01:31. > :01:39.agreement of universal supervision of a European bank.

:01:39. > :01:43.TRANSLATION:... I think in the very short-term, the greatest

:01:43. > :01:52.contribution to growth is to re- establish consumer confidence and

:01:52. > :01:54.business confidence, and to re- establish confidence...

:01:54. > :02:00.Establishing that confidence would happen through creating confidence

:02:00. > :02:07.in the future of the eurozone, and as I said, progress has been made

:02:07. > :02:13.over the last few weeks and months and this is perhaps an early sign

:02:13. > :02:17.for greater economic growth in the northern part of the eurozone,

:02:17. > :02:24.which could then have a positive impact on the southern part of the

:02:24. > :02:34.eurozone. The competitive position for many countries in the southern

:02:34. > :02:41.part has increased in many... wanted to devote some time to a

:02:41. > :02:46.strategic discussion on our external relations and on foreign-

:02:46. > :02:53.policy. We focus on our relations with China. Taking a step back and

:02:53. > :02:58.looking long term. I debriefed the European Council on the summit in

:02:58. > :03:06.September with China, it was very positive. This key partner is

:03:06. > :03:09.undergoing once in a decade leadership change, we are changing

:03:09. > :03:13.views on how to engage constructively with the new

:03:13. > :03:18.leadership. In the long-term perspective, it is in Europe's

:03:18. > :03:22.interest that China succeeds. We will come back to this issue early

:03:22. > :03:27.next spring, to best prepare the next summit, which should take

:03:27. > :03:35.place in China in autumn... We will leave that press conference

:03:35. > :03:41.there. Just to him now from the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel.

:03:42. > :03:46.TRANSLATION:... If supervised mechanism up and running, and once

:03:46. > :03:51.it is functioning, directly capitalisation would be put in

:03:51. > :03:56.place so the right sequence is important, because that only

:03:56. > :04:02.ensures reliability to those who obviously are keeping a very close

:04:02. > :04:04.eye on us and on the changes within the Union. We then discussed

:04:05. > :04:11.further elements on further developing economic and monetary

:04:11. > :04:19.union, questions on fiscal discipline, and in the conclusions

:04:19. > :04:25.we say we need an integrated fiscal framework, which is one part of the

:04:25. > :04:28.integrated European and monetary... Economic and monetary union, then

:04:28. > :04:32.consultation with member states will take place, the commission

:04:32. > :04:39.will explore this in the next few weeks to come, and part and parcel

:04:39. > :04:42.of that is an appropriate so-called fiscal capacity, if you like, of

:04:42. > :04:46.solidarity fund that will allow us to boost competitiveness in

:04:46. > :04:51.individual member countries who want to strengthen economic co-

:04:51. > :04:55.ordination and in order to be able to do that, binding and reformed

:04:55. > :04:59.obligations will be agreed between the Commission and the member

:04:59. > :05:04.states. This needs to be given the necessary democratic legitimacy.

:05:04. > :05:09.From a German perspective, these points are essential for a

:05:09. > :05:12.functioning economic and monetary union. We have addressed those. In

:05:12. > :05:18.December we will discuss this in greater detail and then specify it

:05:18. > :05:22.and then agree on it. We also spoke about Greece. I had a personal

:05:22. > :05:25.meeting with the Greek Prime Minister this morning. He gave me a

:05:25. > :05:32.briefing on progress made in implementing the individual

:05:32. > :05:40.measures that were agreed, and we explained that once these measures

:05:40. > :05:46.are implemented and are in place, Greece will have a very good chance

:05:46. > :05:51.to further develop within the eurozone. Certain things remain to

:05:51. > :05:57.be done but quite a lot has already been done and they are really

:05:57. > :06:07.putting everything into making an all out effort, and I am now open

:06:07. > :06:08.

:06:08. > :06:14.to take questions. TRANSLATION: At Madam Chancellor,

:06:14. > :06:19.how difficult was it yesterday... Just remind you what we had been

:06:19. > :06:25.hearing from Brussels. There has been an agreement on how to monitor

:06:25. > :06:28.the region's banks. The plan is for the European Central Bank to

:06:28. > :06:35.supervise 6,000 or more commercial banks in eurozone countries. We

:06:35. > :06:38.will get some reaction now from the banking sector. Let's cross now to

:06:38. > :06:42.Tobias Blattner, European economist at Daiwa Capital Markets. It is a

:06:42. > :06:47.framework they have agreed to. Do you think it will make any

:06:47. > :06:53.difference? Certainly, it will. It was a very important first step at

:06:53. > :06:57.the leaders have taken because that ultimately paves the way for a

:06:57. > :07:01.banking union with a common resolution fund, and hopefully one

:07:01. > :07:06.day a common deposit insurance fund, so that will be important for the

:07:07. > :07:11.long term survival of the euro. Now I think we need to have more

:07:11. > :07:16.progress on fiscal union, and this is much slower and has been much

:07:16. > :07:19.more fragile so far, but that now needs to be complemented, but the

:07:19. > :07:23.progress made yesterday is definitely to be welcomed because

:07:23. > :07:29.it puts the eurozone into a much stronger and more stable currency

:07:29. > :07:36.union in the future. Angela Merkel said they have also spoken about

:07:36. > :07:40.the ongoing crisis in Greece at potentially Spain as well. -- and

:07:40. > :07:45.potentially Spain. This agreement does nothing to sort out the debt

:07:45. > :07:50.crisis today, does it? Unfortunately no. The Germans made

:07:50. > :07:55.it clear they do not want a legacy asset, and that is causing the

:07:55. > :07:59.trouble right now in Spain and Ireland. They do not want to assume

:07:59. > :08:04.liability for those. The deal from yesterday will only be for the

:08:04. > :08:08.future. But nevertheless, it will maintain the pressure on Spain but

:08:08. > :08:12.we still have the ECB which showed its willingness to buy Spanish

:08:12. > :08:17.bonds, and that will hopefully also put a little bit less stress on

:08:17. > :08:21.these economies right now. Thank you for your time.

:08:21. > :08:25.The good news for cycling, according to commentators, is that

:08:25. > :08:29.it is cleaner today than ever before. The bad news is the fall-

:08:29. > :08:35.out from revelations about past drug-taking continue to damage the

:08:35. > :08:40.sport. The Dutchman DEC Rabobank, a long-standing back there of a

:08:40. > :08:45.professional team, has announced it is ending its sponsorship -- the

:08:45. > :08:50.Dutch bank Rabobank. It says it is no longer convinced that

:08:50. > :08:54.international cycling is capable of being a clean and honest sport.

:08:54. > :08:56.This is a sport that seems to go from crisis to crisis. What do we

:08:56. > :09:00.make of it? Award-winning cycling writer, and

:09:00. > :09:10.former competitive cyclist, Richard Moore, is here. His Rabobank right

:09:10. > :09:14.to say it cannot be convinced it is clean? -- is? Yes. The report from

:09:14. > :09:18.Lance Armstrong's team paints a very vivid picture of just how

:09:18. > :09:23.dirty the sport has been. But Rabobank are not entirely innocent

:09:23. > :09:28.in this. They have been a long-time sponsor of the sport through a very

:09:28. > :09:32.dark period and they have had quite a lot of... They've recently

:09:32. > :09:37.suspended one of their own cyclists. Yes, this week. Did they do all

:09:37. > :09:45.they could to ensure they had a clean team? I think Rabobank have

:09:45. > :09:51.quite a lot to fear at the moment. Are we seeing the fall-out from the

:09:51. > :09:56.report into Lance Armstrong? Or are we seeing the unravelling of a much

:09:56. > :10:01.bigger problem? It is a much bigger problem in cycling. Investigations

:10:01. > :10:10.are going on in Spain and Italy at the moment and revelations there.

:10:10. > :10:14.There is also an upcoming course -- court case in Hollande. -- in

:10:15. > :10:21.Netherlands. The theory is there will be some revelations that will

:10:21. > :10:26.put a bad light on Rabobank in the 2006-2007 season, so the timing of

:10:26. > :10:31.their exit could be linked to that court case. It is disappointing,

:10:31. > :10:35.isn't it. Thank you. An update on Malala Yousafzai, a

:10:35. > :10:39.Pakistani girl shot in the head by the Taliban after campaigning for

:10:39. > :10:45.women's writes. She is currently being treated in a hospital in

:10:45. > :10:50.Birmingham -- women's rights. Let's hear the latest update.

:10:50. > :10:55.She is not out of the woods yet but having said that, she is doing very

:10:55. > :11:02.well. She was standing with some help for the first time this

:11:02. > :11:06.morning. She is communicating very freely. She is writing. She has a

:11:06. > :11:16.trachea Skippy Hugh Pym because her airways were swollen by the passing

:11:16. > :11:20.

:11:20. > :11:25.of the bullet -- tracheoscopy tube. She is not able to talk but there

:11:25. > :11:35.is no reason to believe she will not be able to talk once that TB is

:11:35. > :11:39.

:11:39. > :11:43.out. The bullet went down through the side of a poor -- her jaw. It

:11:43. > :11:49.went down through her neck. The bullet was removed in Pakistan

:11:49. > :11:54.fairly swiftly, pretty much straight after the event. Latest

:11:54. > :11:59.update on Malala Yousafzai. Now we have their details of a costly

:11:59. > :12:03.mistake for Google! They got it rather wrong! If you

:12:03. > :12:09.have bad news, the last thing you want to do is be rushed into

:12:09. > :12:17.telling it! They were getting ready to tell the world way profits were

:12:17. > :12:26.20% down last quarter, when somebody leaked news 3 hours la.

:12:26. > :12:31.Shares have fallen 8%. -- A three hours barely. Does that slip make

:12:31. > :12:37.much difference in the long time? It was not good for them but it

:12:37. > :12:42.does not change the numbers. What seems to be happening, there is a

:12:42. > :12:45.seismic shift in the way people access the internet. Everybody is

:12:45. > :12:49.buying Smartphones and they all have internet browsers so instead

:12:49. > :12:54.of using a desktop version of a website, which has room for lots of

:12:54. > :12:59.adverts, they are using a tiny version, which has less room for

:12:59. > :13:05.adverts, and that produces money all round. The so the total effect

:13:05. > :13:11.is the amount of money they get him for every click, as it were, is

:13:11. > :13:15.going down. Yes. Advertisers are paying less to advertise on mobile

:13:15. > :13:22.phones than on desktops, because the advertising industry tends to

:13:22. > :13:27.be a year or so behind the wheel trend. There is not room for as

:13:27. > :13:34.many adverts on the page as well. People are starting gate to use

:13:34. > :13:44.Google slightly less because on Smartphones, you have apps --

:13:44. > :13:45.

:13:45. > :13:50.people are starting to use Google slightly less. What about Motorola?

:13:50. > :13:57.Will this be beneficial? The reason we think Google bought Motorola was

:13:57. > :14:03.for its patents. There are lots of court cases going on. Apple is

:14:03. > :14:07.suing Samsung. Many countries are claiming it has copied its designs.

:14:07. > :14:11.Google bought Motorola to try to get this treasure chest of patents

:14:12. > :14:16.that Motorola owns. They did not buy it for the phone business but

:14:16. > :14:23.it is kind of stuck with it. No one is really sure what it is going to

:14:23. > :14:28.do with it, least of all meat, and not even Motorola. -- least of all

:14:29. > :14:38.me. They will try to work out whether it was worth investing in

:14:38. > :14:41.it, I think. Microsoft has released results that

:14:41. > :14:44.show its first-quarter profit fell, in part due to a dip in computer

:14:44. > :14:51.sales running its Windows operating system. The world's largest

:14:51. > :14:53.software company said quarterly profit fell to $4.5 billion, from

:14:53. > :14:56.$5.7 billion the previous year. Buying a pair of trousers at one in

:14:56. > :14:58.the morning has never been a problem in Cairo, but now a new

:14:58. > :15:01.government proposal to slash trading hours could effectively

:15:01. > :15:05.pull the plug on the city that never sleeps. Proposed legislation

:15:05. > :15:08.would see shops close at 10pm and restaurants at midnight. However,

:15:08. > :15:18.tourist establishments with a special licence, such as hotels and

:15:18. > :15:44.

:15:44. > :15:47.You are watching BBC World use. Toogood To Be True, we will be

:15:47. > :15:56.hearing from the scientist whose company has been making petrol out

:15:56. > :15:59.of fresh air. Doctors in the UK are to become the

:15:59. > :16:02.first in the world to have regular checks to ensure they are safety

:16:02. > :16:09.practice. The British government has announced a nationwide scheme

:16:09. > :16:11.will begin in December. Any doctors failing a five-year review will be

:16:11. > :16:16.in danger of getting struck off the medical register.

:16:16. > :16:20.For 30 years there have been calls for mandatory checks on doctors, a

:16:20. > :16:24.kind of medical MOT. Questions have been asked about when airline

:16:24. > :16:28.pilots are regularly assessed doctors are not. Now for the first

:16:28. > :16:32.time that the UK's 220,000 doctors will have annual appraisals and

:16:32. > :16:38.every five years a review will decide whether the licence should

:16:38. > :16:44.be renewed. Concerns such as poor attitude and read Mr patients could

:16:44. > :16:47.mean that renewal is deferred, but concerns about safety could mean

:16:47. > :16:52.they would not have their licence renewed and mean they are struck

:16:52. > :16:56.off the medical register. The point of the system, we have set it up

:16:56. > :16:59.very painstakingly after a lot of consultation with the medical

:16:59. > :17:04.profession and patients' groups, is that we identify problems early,

:17:04. > :17:08.and give doctors a chance, the very small minority of doctors this

:17:08. > :17:11.might pick up, the chance to address the deficiencies in their

:17:11. > :17:17.skills so that they are able to continue practising.

:17:17. > :17:19.They lessons learnt from scandals of baby deaths at Bristol Royal

:17:19. > :17:23.Infirmary and serial killer GP Harold Shipman have helped to

:17:23. > :17:27.create the new checks were doctors. They are designed as a preventative

:17:27. > :17:34.measure to pick up on the early warning signs of problem doctors

:17:35. > :17:38.before tragedies occur. The US Garton organisation, the Boy

:17:38. > :17:42.Scouts of America, has released thousands of documents related to

:17:42. > :17:49.men suspected of sexually abusing children. They contained Merial --

:17:49. > :17:52.material on how they hushed up numerous allegations of abuse. The

:17:52. > :17:56.Boy Scouts of America said it did all they could to protect boys in

:17:56. > :18:01.his care. An acclaimed Turkish pianist has

:18:01. > :18:05.gone on trial in Istanbul accused of insulting Islam. The charges

:18:05. > :18:09.relate to controversial messages including one or mocking a call to

:18:09. > :18:12.prayer. He has rejected all the accusations.

:18:12. > :18:15.After two months in the international will do this Kevin

:18:24. > :18:34.provocative text messages to opposing players during the Test

:18:34. > :18:37.

:18:37. > :18:41.The headlines: European Union leaders agree to phase in eight

:18:41. > :18:44.single supervisory body for European own bankers.

:18:44. > :18:47.The Dutch lender Rabobank is withdrawing its sponsorship of

:18:47. > :18:52.professional cycling saying it cannot trust the sport to be drug-

:18:52. > :18:55.free. Back to the European Union summit

:18:55. > :19:00.where David Cameron is giving his reaction to the latest agreement in

:19:00. > :19:05.Brussels. We are a trading nation, we need

:19:05. > :19:09.Europe's markets to be open, the European Union accounts for around

:19:09. > :19:13.50% of our trade, and having those markets opened means widowed just

:19:13. > :19:15.want to be able to trade with Europe, we want a say over the

:19:15. > :19:22.rules about how that trade works and that is exactly what our

:19:22. > :19:25.membership gives us. It is a false choice between saying you can

:19:25. > :19:29.either accept the status quo or you have got to leave. The whole point

:19:29. > :19:33.is that is not whether British public is, where I am, what we

:19:33. > :19:37.should be seeking, as Europe changes, as the Europe -- eurozone

:19:37. > :19:43.integrates, saying they should be opportunities for a fresh

:19:43. > :19:50.settlement to get the best possible deal for Britain. What assurances

:19:50. > :19:54.have you had leaders are willing to negotiate afresh settlement?

:19:54. > :20:00.You have got the situation today. What have we been here discussing?

:20:00. > :20:06.We are discussing a fresh settlement for the eurozone. The

:20:06. > :20:12.banking union, a fresh settlement for the eurozone. They need to have

:20:12. > :20:16.a big comprehensive banking unit. We have a single currency, we have

:20:16. > :20:23.Four Nations they use a single currency. We have a banking unit.

:20:23. > :20:28.If a bank goes bust we have proper resolution regimes, proper deposit

:20:28. > :20:35.guarantees, they need a banking union. That is part of their fresh

:20:35. > :20:39.settlement. I don't accept the European Union is fixed and stuck

:20:39. > :20:44.in one-track. It is changing. You can see how it is changing right

:20:44. > :20:53.now with the eurozone having to integrate more quickly. The two

:20:53. > :20:57.things we have been discussing in the last they also -- the last day

:20:57. > :21:00.also, at the budget for November, but this whole idea that the

:21:00. > :21:05.eurozone might need to have a separate budget is on the table.

:21:05. > :21:10.Pat is a massive change, that is a new settlement. A sign of change to

:21:10. > :21:14.come. This issue of the banking union and how you safeguard

:21:14. > :21:19.properly the single market if the countries of the eurozone go ahead

:21:19. > :21:23.in the banking union. This is about the plate of Europe moving and

:21:23. > :21:27.changing and the right thing for Britain to do is say what is in our

:21:27. > :21:30.national interest? And would argue it is to be at the heart of the

:21:30. > :21:33.single market, absolutely key, as a just as the eurozone is changing

:21:33. > :21:38.and there are fresh settlements so there are fresh opportunities for

:21:38. > :21:41.Britain. David Cameron giving his reaction

:21:41. > :21:45.to the European Union leaders agreeing to phase in a single

:21:45. > :21:50.supervisory body. He says the European Union is changing, this

:21:50. > :21:54.doesn't affect British banks. With just over two weeks to go

:21:54. > :22:04.until the presidential election's a month at Mitt Romney came face to

:22:04. > :22:05.

:22:05. > :22:13.face again on Thursday evening at a white tie event. -- Barack Obama.

:22:13. > :22:17.Neither could admit the chance to get one over on arrival. Barack

:22:17. > :22:20.Obama and Mitt Romney agreed to play nice. The aggression of the

:22:20. > :22:23.campaign was to be left out the door. Lead to scrapping school boys

:22:23. > :22:30.they were kept apart. The Archbishop of New York was sitting

:22:30. > :22:36.between them. Mitt Romney started off the decks with self-deprecation.

:22:36. > :22:42.A campaign can require a lot of ordered changes. Blue jeans in the

:22:42. > :22:47.morning, a seat of for a lunch fundraiser, spot code for dinner,

:22:47. > :22:51.but it is nice to finally relax and wear what we wear around the house.

:22:51. > :22:55.Portrayed by Democrats as a heartless plutocrat Mitt Romney

:22:55. > :23:01.probably benefited from being able to laugh at his own wealth. The

:23:01. > :23:11.joke wasn't only on him. Soon he was needling the President. We are

:23:11. > :23:14.

:23:58. > :24:06.how well he has avoided that problem. He again got some laughs

:24:06. > :24:10.but he was also forced to defend his record. Do you feel you have
