:01:12. > :01:16.that so far, they have rescued 157 people and recovered four bodies off
:01:16. > :01:19.the coast of Java. It is likely that they were heading for the Australian
:01:19. > :01:24.territory of Christmas Island. The incident comes days after prime
:01:24. > :01:26.minister Kevin Rudd of Australia announced tough new rules to divert
:01:26. > :01:32.all asylum seekers away from Australian shores to camps in Papua
:01:32. > :01:37.New Guinea. Then came a mass riot by several hundred asylum detainees on
:01:37. > :01:44.the island of Nauru after the announcement. This underlines the
:01:44. > :01:48.need for policy changes in Australia on asylum seekers which sends a
:01:48. > :01:52.clear message to people smugglers to stop sending people by boat to
:01:52. > :01:58.Australia. We have seen too many drownings, too many innocent people
:01:58. > :02:03.being lost. Mr Rudd has to set an election date soon. The issue of
:02:03. > :02:07.asylum seekers is a daily focus of political debate in Australia. I was
:02:07. > :02:11.joined from Canberra by ABC's political correspondent Greg
:02:11. > :02:16.Jennett, and I asked him about the complex political pressures inside
:02:16. > :02:19.Australia highlighted by this latest sinking. It must be clear to anyone
:02:19. > :02:24.boarding a boat to make that treacherous journey from Indonesia
:02:24. > :02:29.to Australia that they are not only picking on the dangers that the
:02:29. > :02:36.oceans might throw at them, but there are also sailing into very
:02:36. > :02:39.turbulent political times in Australia. We are, after all, only
:02:39. > :02:43.days or weeks away from the calling of an election by prime minister
:02:43. > :02:49.Rudd, and this is emerging as the dominant domestic political issue,
:02:49. > :02:54.how to stop the boats. That is the jargon adopted in the debate here.
:02:54. > :02:58.Kevin Rudd has his suite of policies, or just to try and deter
:02:58. > :03:02.people smugglers by removing anyone who arrives by boat and sending them
:03:02. > :03:08.to Papua New Guinea. His opponent, Tony Abbott, from the coalition side
:03:08. > :03:13.of, has another set of policies. Going head to head on this is very
:03:13. > :03:21.much a daily episode in political debate right now. How much was the
:03:21. > :03:24.prime minister's recent visit to Papua New Guinea -- to Indonesia,
:03:24. > :03:32.and under deal with Papua New Guinea, how much has that defused
:03:32. > :03:40.the issue? That is part of a deliberate campaign strategy by
:03:40. > :03:43.Kevin Rudd to rebuild policy and alter it in the image of himself
:03:43. > :03:49.after some calibration failures on the part of his predecessor, Julia
:03:49. > :03:57.Gillard. Kevin Rudd tried to build a regional level of support both in
:03:57. > :04:02.Jakarta, with their president, and also in Port Moresby, with prime
:04:02. > :04:06.minister Peter O'Neill. So putting in those pieces are important in
:04:06. > :04:11.building this alternative set of policies that Kevin Rudd has
:04:11. > :04:14.outlined. The question is, will it stop the boats and deter people
:04:14. > :04:20.smugglers from putting together these voyages? There is no immediate
:04:20. > :04:24.evidence that it is. Kevin Rudd has an answer to that. He says, we
:04:24. > :04:31.expect it to be tested by the people smugglers, and if this policy is to
:04:31. > :04:35.be effective, it will take time. is this still such a major political
:04:35. > :04:40.problem? It is almost ten years since John Howard, who got himself
:04:40. > :04:45.into difficulty over the so-called kids overboard scandal, where there
:04:46. > :04:50.was a deception which went on. Why is it still such a major unresolved
:04:50. > :04:56.issue with neighbouring countries? Because the pendulum has swung in
:04:56. > :05:03.different ways since that time. Early on, a hard-line position taken
:05:03. > :05:10.by John Howard. Later, the Rudd labour government came into power
:05:10. > :05:14.and moved the emphasis back towards compassion, accepting what were
:05:14. > :05:18.regarded as the world's most vulnerable people into Australia as
:05:18. > :05:25.asylum seekers. Now the sheer weight of numbers has persuaded the Labour
:05:25. > :05:31.side of politics that that policy setting was not right, that they are
:05:31. > :05:35.being tested by people smugglers and a stern response was required. This
:05:35. > :05:44.is not just one tragedy today. There were many before it. Some estimates
:05:44. > :05:49.of lives lost in these journeys in recent years go above 1000. Lives
:05:49. > :05:55.are lost and attempt are being made to slow the boats for political
:05:55. > :05:58.reasons, but also for humanitarian ones.
:05:58. > :06:02.In the last half-hour, Queen Elizabeth has arrived at Kensington
:06:02. > :06:07.Palace in London to see her new great-grandson. It follows a first
:06:07. > :06:11.Mac at home that, judging by his father's comments outside the
:06:11. > :06:17.hospital on Tuesday, is likely to have been one of broken sleep for
:06:17. > :06:22.the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Let's go to Sarah Campbell, who is
:06:22. > :06:27.at Kensington Palace. We can see the palace behind you. Where are the new
:06:27. > :06:33.living areas and accommodation for the Duke of the Duchess and the
:06:33. > :06:36.Prince of Cambridge? They are actually staying in a two-bedroom
:06:36. > :06:42.cottage which is in the grounds behind the main building that you
:06:42. > :06:45.can see. That is where they will be staying for the first couple of
:06:45. > :06:50.weeks, getting used to those sleepless nights and nappy changing.
:06:50. > :06:54.As you say, the Queen arrived just over half an hour ago. We are not
:06:54. > :06:59.sure where that meeting took place, whether it was in this small cottage
:06:59. > :07:06.or one of the larger rooms of Kensington Palace. The Queen was
:07:06. > :07:10.reported to say she was thrilled at the birth of her great-grandson, so
:07:10. > :07:15.we expect to know about her visit here in the next couple of days. On
:07:15. > :07:19.Friday, she travels to Balmoral for her summer holiday. Last week, she
:07:19. > :07:23.was quoted as saying she hoped her great-grandson would get a move on
:07:23. > :07:29.because she wanted to see him before she went on her holiday. So it is
:07:29. > :07:34.good to know he is listening already. We are not expecting any
:07:34. > :07:38.private photographs, but what a special moment for any child to meet
:07:38. > :07:40.their great grandparent, which is unusual in itself. But what is
:07:40. > :07:44.especially unusual is that the great-grandmother is the Queen, who
:07:44. > :07:50.has ruled Britain and the Commonwealth for 60 years and is the
:07:50. > :07:55.person that this baby will have two follow in their footsteps and take
:07:55. > :07:59.on the immense responsibility that she has one so well. So it is a
:07:59. > :08:02.significant and important meeting, but on a personal level, how lovely
:08:02. > :08:06.for a great-grandmother to meet her great-grandson. We are waiting for
:08:06. > :08:11.other visitors we might expect. The other big news that everybody is
:08:11. > :08:16.waiting for is the name. We had to wait a week to find out Prince
:08:16. > :08:24.William's name. In 1948, we had to wait a whole month for Prince
:08:24. > :08:29.Charles' name. Hopefully, it will be less than that.
:08:29. > :08:32.We got a taste of the people around you in Kensington Gardens, jogging,
:08:32. > :08:35.cycling and enjoying London in late July.
:08:35. > :08:40.Now, if you live in the European Union and you use credit or debit
:08:40. > :08:44.cards to buy things, you could soon benefit from lower charges, cost the
:08:44. > :08:48.European commission says it wants to cap the fees that banks charge
:08:48. > :08:56.retailers when processing the payments. They could be set at 0.2%
:08:56. > :09:04.for debit cards and 0.3% for credit cards. Let's go to Duncan Crawford
:09:04. > :09:09.in Brussels. 0.2 and 0.3%. How does that compare to how people feel they
:09:09. > :09:12.are being stung at the moment? a lot lower than the current
:09:12. > :09:21.transaction fees, known as inter-charge fees, which shops have
:09:21. > :09:25.to pay every time a credit card or debit card is used in a transaction.
:09:25. > :09:31.The transaction costs themselves vary from country to country,
:09:31. > :09:34.depending on what kind of card you use. They can be as high as 1.5% at
:09:34. > :09:41.the moment. If you think of all the transactions taking place every day
:09:41. > :09:45.across Europe, it is a huge amount of money, millions of pounds which
:09:45. > :09:48.go to the banks every year. That is why the banks have been fighting
:09:48. > :09:57.this. But today, the European commission, the EU's anti-trust
:09:57. > :10:03.regulator, said it wanted to put this cap on transaction fees so that
:10:03. > :10:06.it will be 0.2% for debit cards and 0.3% for credit cards. The mobile
:10:06. > :10:10.phone operators went through this a couple of years ago and were told to
:10:10. > :10:15.lower their charges. They then found other ways of making sure they got
:10:15. > :10:19.the money back. Will the banks find another way of getting their money
:10:19. > :10:22.back 's it is certainly a possibility. This is a real
:10:22. > :10:27.moneyspinner for the banks. They make millions of pounds a year, like
:10:27. > :10:31.I say will stop already, some banking officials have warned that
:10:31. > :10:38.they will try to raise these funds in other ways. The banks have argued
:10:38. > :10:43.that these transaction costs are needed to process all the
:10:43. > :10:48.transactions. There has been speculation by financial experts who
:10:48. > :10:52.have said that banks may, as a result of this, impose annual
:10:52. > :10:56.charges on credit cards and debit cards, where people would have to
:10:56. > :11:02.pay yearly fees. For a debit card, it has been suggested that people
:11:02. > :11:06.could a �11 a year. For a credit card, �55 a year. But these are
:11:06. > :11:10.still just suggestions. This is at the proposal stage and still needs
:11:10. > :11:16.to be passed why the European Parliament and all the EU member
:11:16. > :11:18.states. We brought Duncan Crawford to you
:11:18. > :11:22.without any transaction charge from Brussels.
:11:22. > :11:25.Now, a British businessman has lost his bid to avoid extradition to
:11:25. > :11:29.South Africa over the death of his wife during their honeymoon. Shrien
:11:29. > :11:33.Dewani is accused of ordering the killing of his wife, who was shot
:11:33. > :11:37.dead in a taxi on the outskirts of Cape Town nearly three years ago.
:11:37. > :11:40.Three men have already been convicted over the killing. Anni
:11:40. > :11:45.Dewani's sister said her family would continue their fight for
:11:45. > :11:53.answers. We as a family are satisfied with the decision today
:11:53. > :12:02.made by the British justice system. But it is still a long way to the
:12:02. > :12:09.answers we are looking for. For us, it is all about Anni. It is about
:12:09. > :12:16.finding out what happened to her. We will fight this battle to the end.
:12:16. > :12:20.It has just begun. Let's go to Johannesburg and the
:12:20. > :12:27.BBC's Milton Nkosi. What is Mr Dewani facing, and why do the South
:12:27. > :12:33.African courts want him back where you are? The South Africans want Mr
:12:33. > :12:37.Dewani to come here and cancer to the charge that he masterminded the
:12:37. > :12:41.murder of his wife during their honeymoon trip to Cape Town. The
:12:41. > :12:49.taxi driver who drove them told the authorities here that he was asked
:12:49. > :12:56.why Mr Dewani to try and orchestrate a car hijacking, and in the process
:12:56. > :13:00.kill his wife. He entered a plea but with the national persecuting
:13:00. > :13:08.authorities here and got 18 years for that. Soon after that, the
:13:08. > :13:13.people who conducted the hijacking on that fateful night in November
:13:13. > :13:20.then got sentenced as well. The man who pulled the trigger, a
:13:20. > :13:24.25-year-old man, got a life sentence in Cape Town last year. So the South
:13:24. > :13:28.African prosecuting authorities are keen to hear Mr Dewani's side of the
:13:28. > :13:36.story, either to clear his name or to find him guilty for masterminding
:13:36. > :13:39.his wife's murder. In Egypt, army chief Abdel Fattah
:13:39. > :13:44.al-Sisi has called for nationwide rallies on Friday to give the
:13:44. > :13:47.military mandate to confront what he termed violence and terrorism
:13:47. > :13:50.following the ousting of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi. In a
:13:50. > :13:56.speech at a military graduation ceremony, he said his appeal for
:13:56. > :13:59.protests was not a call for violence, and expressed support for
:13:59. > :14:02.efforts for national reconciliation. Meanwhile, an overnight bomb
:14:02. > :14:06.explosion outside a police station in the northern Egyptian city of
:14:06. > :14:13.Mansoura has killed a soldier, injuring 17 people, including police
:14:13. > :14:17.and civilians. Separately, a gunman shot dead two supporters of the
:14:17. > :14:21.deposed president, Mohammed Morsi. Let's go to our reporter in Cairo.
:14:21. > :14:26.He is defence minister and head of the army. Essentially, he
:14:26. > :14:33.masterminded the removal of President Morsi. What kind of gamble
:14:33. > :14:37.is this? The army are asking for expressions of public support.
:14:37. > :14:41.a very provocative gamble. As you said, he is the head of the army. He
:14:41. > :14:45.is not to interim president. Why does a military officer need a
:14:45. > :14:50.mandate? He said, I urge people to take to the streets this Friday to
:14:50. > :14:55.prove their will and give me, the army and the police a mandate to
:14:55. > :15:02.confront possible violence and terrorism. We have already heard
:15:02. > :15:05.from the Muslim Brotherhood, who have said this is a threat. Some in
:15:05. > :15:10.the Muslim Brotherhood say it may even be a civil war. That may be
:15:10. > :15:15.going a little far, but this is an extraordinary provocative statement
:15:15. > :15:19.from the head of the military in Egypt. It goes some way to
:15:19. > :15:24.explaining who is in charge in this country. It is not the politicians,
:15:24. > :15:29.it is clearly the military. I do not want to incite pessimism here, but
:15:29. > :15:38.it almost looks as if the military are inviting people into a potential
:15:38. > :15:43.confrontation on Friday with the Muslim Brotherhood? Yes, and you
:15:43. > :15:51.need to ask, why would the head of the Armed Forces, who already has a
:15:51. > :15:57.huge amount of troops on the streets throughout Egypt, heavily armed in
:15:57. > :16:00.some cases, is without doubt a very put up -- provocative statement. We
:16:00. > :16:08.have seen the reaction from the Muslim Brotherhood. What exactly is
:16:08. > :16:12.happening? Are we seeing ratcheting up of tension? Perhaps we are seeing
:16:12. > :16:19.a sense of frustration that President Morsi supporters have not
:16:19. > :16:26.abandoned their protests. They still want their man to be reinstated. He
:16:26. > :16:31.is in army custody. Nobody knows where he is. Perhaps we are seeing a
:16:31. > :16:33.sense of frustration from the military that they haven't been able
:16:33. > :16:36.to find a sense of frustration from the military that they haven't been
:16:36. > :16:40.able to finally shut up President Morsi's supporters so now they are
:16:40. > :16:48.calling on the people of Egypt to join them to do just that.

:18:48. > :18:53.about it! But with so many sports competing for funding, decisions
:18:53. > :18:58.have been made and handball have missed out. There are a small number
:18:58. > :19:04.of sports who competed in London that do not have the potential in
