:01:34. > :01:38.scandal surrounding the murder of British newspapers took another
:01:38. > :01:42.turn today with evidence a News Of The World reporter tried to buy
:01:42. > :01:46.highly confidential telephone numbers of the royal family from a
:01:46. > :01:49.royal protection officer. Another title, the Sunday Times, is alleged
:01:49. > :01:55.to have targeted personal information of the former Prime
:01:55. > :01:58.Minister, Gordon Brown, when he was Chancellor. He also fears medical
:01:58. > :02:05.records relating to their son that has cystic fibrosis may also have
:02:05. > :02:08.been obtained. The head of state, the royal family,
:02:08. > :02:12.her and their security is the duty of the police in the Royal
:02:12. > :02:17.Protection Branch. The integrity of those officers must surely be
:02:17. > :02:21.beyond doubt, but this morning, we learned that news of the world's e-
:02:21. > :02:26.mails uncovered by News International in 2007, but kept
:02:26. > :02:30.secret, contained evidence that they were paying a royal protection
:02:30. > :02:33.officers for private information about the royal family. It later
:02:33. > :02:38.emerged in the Guardian that the telephones of Prince Charles and
:02:38. > :02:44.the Duchess of Cornwall may have been hacked. In one of these e-
:02:44. > :02:48.mails, Clive Goodman, the former royal editor, was requesting cash
:02:48. > :02:52.from Andy Coulson, the editor, to buy a confidential directory called
:02:52. > :02:58.The Green Book of the royal family's landline telephone numbers
:02:58. > :03:02.and all of the mobile numbers of the household staff. Now implies
:03:02. > :03:07.that a police officer had stolen the directory and wanted �1,000 for
:03:07. > :03:11.it. These latest disclosures about systematic wrong doing at the News
:03:11. > :03:15.Of The World could not have come for a worse time for the owner,
:03:15. > :03:20.News Corporation. They are trying to buy all of one of the most
:03:20. > :03:24.important media businesses in the UK, British Sky Broadcasting.
:03:24. > :03:29.Rupert Murdoch is creditors as the founder of BSkyB, his News
:03:29. > :03:34.Corporation owns just 39 % of it, and the reason he wants 100 % is
:03:34. > :03:39.because BSkyB is a growing business generating huge amounts of cash.
:03:39. > :03:43.Profits this year are expected to be close to �1 billion, whereas
:03:43. > :03:48.revenue from his famous newspapers, those left out to the closure, they
:03:49. > :03:52.are under pressure. For the past year, he has argued that his
:03:52. > :03:57.takeover should be allowed to go through without a lengthy
:03:57. > :04:00.investigation by the Commission. He gave undertakings to protect the
:04:00. > :04:07.independence of Sky News to have secured the agreement of Jeremy
:04:07. > :04:11.Hunt for the deal. This afternoon, he withdrew those undertakings,
:04:11. > :04:15.asking for the deal to go to the Competition Commission. The delay
:04:15. > :04:21.in the takeover is better for him than the alternative of abandoning
:04:21. > :04:24.it altogether. As a result of the announcement from News Corporation
:04:24. > :04:30.this afternoon, I will refer this to the Competition Commission with
:04:30. > :04:35.immediate effect. I would be writing to them this afternoon.

:04:39. > :04:48.along to late in the BSkyB bid is now for him, perhaps the best he
:04:48. > :04:53.can hope for. -- a long delay. Two other papers allegedly targeted
:04:54. > :04:57.so Gordon Brown. Documents and telephone recordings suggest
:04:57. > :05:01.illegal attempts were made by the Sunday Times to find out about his
:05:01. > :05:07.private financial and property details when he was the Chancellor.
:05:07. > :05:10.This contains flash photography. The allegations relate to the
:05:10. > :05:14.period before Gordon Brown became the Prime Minister, when he was
:05:14. > :05:19.Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Guardian of the finances of the
:05:19. > :05:24.nation. In 1992, he bought a flat in this block in Westminster, and
:05:24. > :05:29.the Sunday Times, pages later, ran a story that it was purchased very
:05:29. > :05:39.reduced price. Now, the BBC has received a tape of a phone call
:05:39. > :05:54.
:05:54. > :05:58.which appears to show how the The man interested in the flat was

:06:03. > :06:07.He was working for the Sunday Times, it is claimed. In the year 2,000,
:06:07. > :06:11.somebody called an Abbey National Centre in Bradford six times
:06:11. > :06:15.pretended to be Gordon Brown. He obtained financial details. There
:06:15. > :06:22.is no suggestion of any failings of the building society. Letters
:06:22. > :06:26.obtained by the BBC show somebody was masquerading as cent. A letter
:06:26. > :06:30.was sent to the Sunday Times setting out concerns, but they
:06:30. > :06:34.could not prove that the newspaper was involved. All of this goes
:06:34. > :06:41.beyond the original phone hacking allegations to another of the dark
:06:41. > :06:45.arts of journalism, so-called Bull again. A newspaper pays somebody to
:06:45. > :06:49.bring up a medical centre Rory bank and get the person that answers the
:06:49. > :06:54.phone to be about private information. This requires a steady
:06:54. > :06:59.nerve and a degree of acting ability. Obtaining personal
:06:59. > :07:02.information about another person from a company that controls that
:07:02. > :07:07.information, that has that information, that is quite clearly
:07:07. > :07:13.a criminal offence. What is unclear is the extent to which a journalist
:07:13. > :07:17.can say, I have a defence, because I am doing this, getting this
:07:17. > :07:22.information in the public interest. One of the most disturbing
:07:22. > :07:25.interests for the Brown family was surrounding their son, year in the
:07:25. > :07:29.arms of Gordon Brown in 2006. A newspaper article revealed he had
:07:29. > :07:39.cystic fibrosis. The family are worried that the information was
:07:39. > :07:42.
:07:42. > :07:47.obtained from his medical records. They were told that the details of
:07:47. > :07:51.Gordon Brown were in the notebook of the investigator, Glenn Mulcare.
:07:51. > :07:54.There are investigating the allegations.
:07:54. > :07:58.Let's speak to Paul Connew, a former deputy editor of the News Of
:07:58. > :08:03.The World, he is an editor of the Sunday Mirror and has worked on the
:08:03. > :08:11.Daily Mirror as well. He is now a media consultant. Picking up on
:08:11. > :08:16.what Gordon Brown alleges, is this an acceptable journalistic tool?
:08:16. > :08:26.depends how it's done and for what story. I would not totally say that
:08:26. > :08:27.
:08:27. > :08:31.blogging was out of order. -- blagging. I do not know enough
:08:31. > :08:38.about the allegation of the Sunday Times to comment on this case, but
:08:38. > :08:43.it has now thrust a flagship broadsheet, another murder title,
:08:43. > :08:51.into the flames. It so, in certain circumstances, it is acceptable,
:08:51. > :08:58.even though it is illegal? One of the finest journalists in the UK,
:08:58. > :09:02.in the public interest, if we look at the MPs expenditure scandal, and
:09:02. > :09:08.some people went to jail, that was the result of the Daily Telegraph
:09:08. > :09:16.buying stolen information, stolen documents from a whistleblower.
:09:16. > :09:22.Initially, MPs were saying, this is outrageous, let's find out and
:09:22. > :09:25.prosecute the whistleblower. But the media as well, they were
:09:25. > :09:30.threatened for receiving the documents. There was an outcry from
:09:30. > :09:34.the public, so bad died away. was a legitimate story in the
:09:34. > :09:39.public interest. What about finding out about medical records of a very
:09:39. > :09:43.sick young child? That would be completely out of order, on
:09:43. > :09:48.acceptable, and obviously criminal, and I would not seek to defend that
:09:48. > :09:52.at all. How high up with the provenance of this information go
:09:52. > :09:57.in terms of the editorial control? When you were editor, which you
:09:57. > :10:02.want to know how you got that information? Yes, absolutely. What
:10:02. > :10:07.is baffling to me and most other editors and ex-editor is, is how
:10:07. > :10:12.the editor allegedly did not know, that applies to Andy Coulson and
:10:13. > :10:19.Rebecca Brooks. Rebecca Brooks is somebody you worked with. Starting
:10:19. > :10:23.out, so I cannot judge. How would you explain that Rebecca Brooks is
:10:23. > :10:28.still in this position and has this incredible loyalty as far as Rupert
:10:28. > :10:35.Murdoch is concerned? A number of things there, Rupert Murdoch can be
:10:35. > :10:39.ruthless, but also amazingly loyal. He obviously believes her denials.
:10:39. > :10:44.He also believes that she is the victim of information withheld from
:10:44. > :10:50.her and on a number of levels, at conspiracy by a junior executives
:10:50. > :10:54.and possibly she was not put into the loop, possibly, of internal
:10:54. > :10:59.investigation reports. These reports that she may not have seen.
:10:59. > :11:05.This is one line being spun out of Wapping, rightly or wrongly. He is
:11:05. > :11:10.very fond of virtue, and for that reason, he is standing by her. She
:11:10. > :11:12.is probably the only person between James Murdoch being the front
:11:12. > :11:20.person for the ongoing investigation. She could be there

:14:29. > :14:33.You cannot see it now, it is getting dark, but there are banners
:14:33. > :14:39.and slogans and placards everywhere. That is because in Egypt, people
:14:39. > :14:42.are talking about their revolution being at a crossroads. The
:14:42. > :14:49.revolution is being betrayed, people says. What is happening here,
:14:49. > :14:54.happened after the momentous events in Tunisia. That is where one man,
:14:55. > :14:59.Mohammad Bouazizi, a fruit salad, set himself alight. This sparked a
:14:59. > :15:05.fire right across the region. The Tunisian people have said that the
:15:05. > :15:12.revolution, the uprising would probably have happens...
:15:12. > :15:17.Apologies, we seem to have lost George. I think we can go to a
:15:17. > :15:22.report from Tunisia, because he was talking about the revolution
:15:22. > :15:32.starting in Tunisia, and the BBC's Middle-East editor has been there
:15:32. > :15:32.
:15:32. > :15:37.This man's radio show lampoons Tunisia's leaders. Political jokes
:15:37. > :15:42.would have put him in prison before the revolution. Now Tunisians are
:15:42. > :15:51.allowed to laugh at him. He does all the voices in a satirical
:15:51. > :15:55.phone-in. His Colonel Gaddafi is a regular caller. Tunisia's former
:15:55. > :16:03.president Ben Ali, who fled in January, argues with the colonel
:16:03. > :16:11.about who is most popular. They love me off. After the show, what
:16:11. > :16:17.seems as Tunisians were lucky. TRANSLATION: Ben Ali was a coward.
:16:17. > :16:22.He just ran away. We lit the fuse for the other revolutions.
:16:22. > :16:28.Tunisia's is the most complete of all the Arab revolutions, but it is
:16:28. > :16:31.still disappointing some of the people who fought for it. In
:16:31. > :16:37.January, Tunisia showed the rest of the Arab world that it was possible
:16:37. > :16:40.to remove a leader despite a police state and despite his powerful
:16:40. > :16:46.Western friends. Since then, Tunisia has also shown that getting
:16:46. > :16:49.rid of a dictator does not solve all of a country's problems. The
:16:49. > :16:55.years of corruption and mismanagement leave a difficult
:16:55. > :16:58.legacy. The country is unstable enough for the army still to guard
:16:58. > :17:06.government buildings in Tunis, and elections in October will not on
:17:06. > :17:10.their own fix the biggest problem, unemployment. Mohammed, whose deft
:17:10. > :17:17.started the uprising, killed himself after years without a
:17:17. > :17:20.proper job. This is where he died, about three hours' drive from Tunis.
:17:20. > :17:26.The people here are proud that they started the revolution after word
:17:26. > :17:29.spread that he had set fire to himself. He did it after these
:17:29. > :17:37.government inspectors confiscated the food he was selling without a
:17:37. > :17:40.licence. This woman spent 110 days in prison, she says unjustly, after
:17:40. > :17:45.Mohammed became the people's hero. These officials were symbols of a
:17:45. > :17:51.repressive regime, but even they agree that a revolution was waiting
:17:51. > :17:53.to happen. TRANSLATION: He was just the first
:17:53. > :18:00.spark. It was like a full glass of water,
:18:00. > :18:05.and he was the drop that made it overflow. This town is full of men
:18:05. > :18:13.killing time. Still frustrated and angry that they cannot earn money
:18:13. > :18:20.for their families. TRANSLATION: I am in the cafe all
:18:20. > :18:25.day. I want a job. The problem, I'm
:18:25. > :18:28.afraid, is that our dreams will not come true. The old Arab world could
:18:29. > :18:33.not satisfy the people. They have shown that they will not be ignored
:18:33. > :18:42.any more. So how long will their patience last if the new world does
:18:43. > :18:46.not deliver? As I was saying before our
:18:46. > :18:51.technical difficulties, the people here in Tahrir Square are beginning
:18:51. > :18:55.to feel that their revolution is losing its way. You cannot read the
:18:55. > :18:58.banners, but they are basically saying that they want to see more
:18:58. > :19:04.of the perpetrators of the violence that happened during the protests
:19:04. > :19:08.brought to trial. They want to see tangible signs of change. To
:19:08. > :19:13.discuss that with me I have a spokesperson from the Human Rights
:19:13. > :19:17.Watch group in Egypt. Looking at these banners, one gets the
:19:17. > :19:20.impression that the Egyptian revolution is losing its way.
:19:20. > :19:24.think people are in the Square today because they do not have
:19:24. > :19:28.faith in the way the military has been handling the transition. They
:19:28. > :19:33.do not have faith that the justice system will punish those police
:19:33. > :19:38.officers. Animal Bira, police officers enjoyed impunity from
:19:38. > :19:41.torture and abuse. They feel they have to come back to the square to
:19:41. > :19:46.make the justice system work properly. They do not understand
:19:46. > :19:50.why police officers have not been suspended, those who should have
:19:50. > :19:53.been on trial. And that have been a lot of incidents of families of
:19:53. > :20:02.victims of the revolution being pressured into withdrawing
:20:02. > :20:05.complaints. If someone from the military tribunal were here,
:20:05. > :20:09.presumably they would say that these tribunals are speeding up
:20:09. > :20:13.justice in this country? All the trials for the killings that took
:20:13. > :20:17.place have been held in civilian courts. But the military has been
:20:17. > :20:21.using military courts to try thousands of civilians, more than
:20:21. > :20:26.9000. And those convictions are unsound under international law,
:20:26. > :20:32.because they do not meet basic standards. That is the longer term
:20:32. > :20:36.challenge in Egypt. Protesters want things to happen properly. They
:20:36. > :20:41.want trials to be fair. We have also seen cases of protesters being
:20:41. > :20:46.arrested and tried before military tribunals. You speak about the rule
:20:46. > :20:49.of law and you look at it from the point of view of an organisation
:20:49. > :20:54.like Human Rights Watch. But I have spoken to ordinary Egyptians who
:20:54. > :20:59.have been glad that somebody who indulged in burglary and rape cases
:20:59. > :21:03.have been put away quickly through these military tribunals. In Egypt
:21:03. > :21:08.at the moment, we have a general sense of insecurity because of
:21:08. > :21:12.rising crime. And the military itself has been very clever at
:21:12. > :21:17.managing its PR strategy around military tribunals, saying this is
:21:17. > :21:21.the only guarantee of security. But he regular systems are not
:21:21. > :21:24.functioning. Low-level crimes can be tried before regular courts, and
:21:24. > :21:32.will not leave us with the problem of thousands of people being
:21:32. > :21:36.arbitrarily did paint -- detained. If you are that critical, can you
:21:36. > :21:42.trust the military to organise a free and fair election, which is
:21:42. > :21:45.supposed to happen in September? think people are out in the Espace
:21:45. > :21:52.Pacific Quay because they do not trust the military. The military
:21:52. > :21:55.does not consult. To what extent the military will listen to the
:21:55. > :22:00.demands of various political parties out there and not just
:22:00. > :22:04.specific sections, we will see. But they have insisted that they will
:22:04. > :22:06.stick to elections. From our perspective, we are worried that
:22:06. > :22:10.the environment for elections is not one which will allow free and
:22:10. > :22:13.fair elections, because there are still laws which restrict freedom
:22:14. > :22:23.of assembly and freedom of expression, and that is not the

:22:30. > :22:33.saying is that things are so different from the carnival
:22:33. > :22:38.atmosphere some five months ago. The truth is that the protesters
:22:38. > :22:42.who got rid of Hosni Mubarak all those months ago are now beginning
:22:42. > :22:46.to to realise that toppling him was perhaps the easy part, and that
:22:46. > :22:53.building a new Egypt is the real challenge and one that this country
:22:53. > :22:56.is struggling with. It was a weekend of celebration for the
:22:56. > :22:59.people of South Sudan, the world's newest nation. Tens of thousands
:22:59. > :23:01.watched the raising of their new country's flag at an independence
:23:01. > :23:04.ceremony in the capital, Juba, where their President, Salva Kiir,
:23:04. > :23:07.signed the constitution and took his oath of office. Now the
:23:07. > :23:10.challenge is to maintain stability, both in the south and in the
:23:10. > :23:12.northern Republic of Sudan. After decades of civil war which ended
:23:12. > :23:16.with the peace agreement in 2005, there still remains disagreement
:23:16. > :23:19.over the oil-rich area of Abyei. Speaking exclusively to Zeinab
:23:19. > :23:21.Badawi in his first interview since the break-up of Sudan, President
:23:21. > :23:28.Omar al-Bashir said his country wants a peaceful resolution to the
:23:28. > :23:38.disputed border region. But he did not rule out the use of force if
:23:38. > :23:38.
:23:38. > :23:47.South Sudan were to take up arms to keep Abyei.
:23:47. > :23:52.TRANSLATION: When we achieve peace, it was based on the last battle in
:23:52. > :23:57.which we decimated southern troops. We were fighting peace and we
:23:57. > :24:07.divided Sudan for peace and we are keen on preserving peace. We should
:24:07. > :24:11.never fight unless compelled to do so. But if Abyei were to stay with
:24:11. > :24:15.the south, it is a simple question. Do you foresee any possibility that
:24:15. > :24:24.north and south Sudan could take up arms against each other over this
:24:24. > :24:27.issue of Abyei? TRANSLATION: There is a protocol on
:24:27. > :24:31.Abyei that governs if there is a peaceful solution.
:24:31. > :24:34.But in the past, we were forced to fight when they tried to impose a
:24:35. > :24:37.new reality. Thousands of mourners have flocked
:24:38. > :24:41.to the eastern Bosnian town of Srebrenica so to mark the 16th
:24:41. > :24:44.anniversary of the massacre there. Around 8000 Bosnian Muslim men and
:24:44. > :24:48.boys were killed in Srebrenica when Bosnian Serb troops overran an
:24:48. > :24:58.enclave guarded by Dutch UN soldiers. Burials took place today
:24:58. > :25:02.
:25:02. > :25:08.for the remains of another 613 victims unearthed from mass graves.
:25:08. > :25:15.16 years on, the pain is just as raw. A mother overwhelmed by
:25:15. > :25:19.anguish at finding the remains of her son. Two pelvic bones -- bones
:25:19. > :25:24.and a fragment of his jaw was all that could be recovered. At 29
:25:24. > :25:29.years old, he was one of those killed at Srebrenica in 1995. Today,
:25:29. > :25:34.just another green coffin lowered into the ground. Over 600 were
:25:34. > :25:39.buried on this anniversary, identified through DNA analysis.
:25:39. > :25:43.Statistics, perhaps, but for those grieving, sons, fathers, husbands.
:25:43. > :25:47.It was the worst atrocity in Europe since the Second World War.
:25:47. > :25:52.Thousands of Bosnian Muslims had crowded into the UN safe haven of
:25:52. > :25:56.Srebrenica as the war raged on. But the lightly armed Dutch troops were
:25:56. > :26:00.easily overrun by Bosnian Serb soldiers. The men and boys were led
:26:00. > :26:04.off to be slaughtered, around 8000 of them within the space of five
:26:04. > :26:09.days. It is the only part of the Balkan wars to be labelled genocide.
:26:09. > :26:13.The Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladic was filmed reassuring Muslim
:26:13. > :26:18.children that all would be fine. It was his troops who carried out the
:26:18. > :26:22.killing. General Mladic was indicted for genocide in 1995, but
:26:22. > :26:26.evaded justice until this year. In May he was arrested in Serbia and
:26:26. > :26:31.now awaits trial at the UN tribunal in the Hague. But at his initial
:26:31. > :26:36.appearance, he was defiant. The charges were obnoxious, he said,
:26:36. > :26:43.claiming he had only defended his people. 16 years on, Bosnia remains
:26:43. > :26:47.deeply divided between its main ethnic groups. The Muslim member of
:26:47. > :26:51.the country's apartheid presidency spoke of the commotion.
:26:51. > :26:55.TRANSLATION: Shrubbery so is the deepest wound on the body of the
:26:55. > :27:00.tortured Bosnian people. Of the winds may heal in time, but
:27:00. > :27:04.Srebrenica so will never heal. It is a dark stain on the face of the
:27:04. > :27:10.international community. That stain will never fade. As the digging
:27:10. > :27:13.goes on, the names of victims were read out. Their families gathered,
:27:13. > :27:18.yelling for closure. This is a nation still struggling to recover
:27:18. > :27:22.from a conflict that tore it apart. Each side lost thousands, but so
:27:22. > :27:32.Bonita remains undoubtedly the most potent and agonising symbol of
:27:32. > :27:32.
:27:32. > :27:35.Bosnia's devastating war. A reminder of our main news.
:27:35. > :27:39.There have been further allegations about the behaviour of journalists
:27:39. > :27:42.working for Rupert Murdoch's News International company. The BBC has
:27:42. > :27:47.learnt that a police protection officer was bribed to get private
:27:47. > :27:57.contact details of the British royal family.
:27:57. > :28:02.
:28:02. > :28:07.Through the night, it will be mostly dry, with clear spells. But
:28:07. > :28:11.for tomorrow, those showers will make a return. Scattered, but we
:28:11. > :28:15.could see heavier downpours at times. We also need to watch the
:28:15. > :28:19.developing feature across the Bay of Biscay. It is pushing northwards,
:28:19. > :28:24.developing into an area of low pressure. It could threaten the
:28:24. > :28:28.south-east corner on Tuesday. We will see more cloud in the sky
:28:28. > :28:33.tomorrow. South-west England, the showers here could be heavy and
:28:33. > :28:38.thundery. In north-east England, fewer showers, with a good deal of
:28:38. > :28:41.sunshine. Some doubt about the exact extent of this cloud and rain,
:28:41. > :28:45.but it is certainly bringing some showers in the afternoon across
:28:45. > :28:53.south-east England. We are looking at heavy and banned -- under it
:28:53. > :28:55.downpours through south-west England. In South Wales, some
:28:55. > :28:59.showers will be developed to be quite torrential during the
:28:59. > :29:04.afternoon. But for Northern Ireland, the showers are light and scattered,
:29:04. > :29:09.with sunny spells in between. Across Scotland, a scattering of
:29:09. > :29:15.light showers through many central areas and northern Scotland should
