:03:00. > :03:05.where I buy from? That is not right. So what does it mean for the
:03:05. > :03:09.Premier League television deals. Today's ruling is likely to force
:03:09. > :03:14.the Premier League to review the way it sells its television rights.
:03:14. > :03:19.The judgement is far from clear-cut. The League is confident it can
:03:20. > :03:24.avoid a major drop in its TV income. The League said the judgement was
:03:24. > :03:28.complicated, adding it needed time to consider its implications.
:03:28. > :03:34.Industry experts agreed the ruling will not lead to a financial
:03:34. > :03:39.disaster for our financial -- English football. It is no more
:03:39. > :03:42.than a minor inconvenience for the next two years. At the end of this
:03:42. > :03:46.current broadcast deal, the Premier League will be able to structure
:03:46. > :03:51.their rights so this does not have the financial impact on them at all.
:03:51. > :03:55.But what does it all mean for the fans? In the short-term, it should
:03:55. > :04:00.give supporters more choice over how they watch football on TV. The
:04:00. > :04:04.bigger worry for advances out the lead sells its rights in the future
:04:04. > :04:07.and how clubs spend their money. The problem has been that the huge
:04:07. > :04:11.wealth that the football industry has got out of its media rights
:04:11. > :04:17.often has not been used to the benefit of those fans who are going

:04:26. > :04:33.broadcasting could be felt for years to come.
:04:33. > :04:37.Today's ruling could have profound implications. A broader market does
:04:37. > :04:42.not mean a cheaper market as it might become dominated by a few
:04:42. > :04:46.media giants from Europe's most populous companies. Premier League
:04:46. > :04:51.and other highly coveted leaks could push their a pan-European
:04:51. > :04:55.package at higher rates. Parting fans in smaller markets. They could
:04:55. > :05:02.also force a drastic revision in how films and television programmes
:05:02. > :05:10.are distributed. Joining me to discuss that is a sports lawyer
:05:10. > :05:16.with the London firm. A lot of IFS and buts in this ruling. What do
:05:16. > :05:22.you think this verdict will mean? Absolutely. A difficult question.
:05:22. > :05:26.For the Premier League, I agree with a lot of the points made in
:05:26. > :05:31.the videotape before. It is such a big beast and it has got so much
:05:31. > :05:35.value. They will be OK. The more important question is what does it

:05:39. > :05:44.and film industries who might find themselves in his -- significantly
:05:44. > :05:51.affected financially., in what way? This ruling calls into question the
:05:51. > :05:57.way in which they have sold the rights by a territory basis. In the
:05:57. > :06:02.future, unless they can run a Copyright or IP protection, they
:06:02. > :06:10.will have to find alternative models. Those models could be less
:06:10. > :06:15.favourable. Is it good news for football fans? And -- could they go
:06:15. > :06:19.out and buy a cheaper foreign decoder and watch matches?
:06:20. > :06:24.Potentially, yes. There is another part of the judgement that says the
:06:24. > :06:29.Premier League does have some protective will interest as regards
:06:29. > :06:33.broadcasting in pubs. Therefore that opens the avenue to them to
:06:33. > :06:40.prosecute any pubs that try to show matches in the way Mrs Murphy did
:06:40. > :06:45.so in this case. In require -- it in respects a private consumers,

:06:54. > :06:58.wait to see. We still have to wait for the UK court to reach its final
:06:58. > :07:02.verdict by which it in turn is the ruling from Europe. As and when it

:13:21. > :13:26.It is very worrying sh, she told us. This is Europe's 5th lost -- fifth-

:13:30. > :13:34.been bustling ever since this crisis began and it is not just a
:13:34. > :13:38.problem for the individuals and the state as a whole. Spain has hurried
:13:38. > :13:43.to shell out large amounts of money and unemployment benefit and there
:13:43. > :13:48.are the increasing fears with youth unemployment so high, of a growing
:13:48. > :13:52.lost generation. And you find it at Madrid's largest university. How

:14:08. > :14:12.job? Just anything at all. About four or five people out of 28. How
:14:12. > :14:20.many of you think you will have to leave Spain to get a job to live

:16:22. > :16:32.What happened to my daughter of Meredith was every parent's
:16:32. > :16:36.nightmare. Terrible. Basically, she was in the safest place, her
:16:36. > :16:41.bedroom. Meredith's sister was asked if the
:16:41. > :16:47.family was prepared to forgive. Until the truth comes out, we
:16:47. > :16:53.cannot forgive anyone because no one has even admitted to it. So
:16:53. > :16:59.until that happens we still have to wait and see what happens.
:16:59. > :17:03.One person, Rudy Guede, remains in prison for the murder. But Italy's
:17:03. > :17:07.highest court says he killed her with other people, and if that was

:17:11. > :17:15.who was it? That prosecutors in the case say
:17:15. > :17:18.they plan to appeal against yesterday's decision, and they are
:17:18. > :17:25.preparing to take it to Italy's highest court, the Court of
:17:25. > :17:35.Cassation. When Amanda Knox was cleared last night, it was a moment
:17:35. > :17:37.
:17:37. > :17:40.of extreme emotions. She was led sobbing from the court. Her former
:17:40. > :17:45.boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito was also freed, to return home to

:18:40. > :18:47.will keep the drillers out. But the money is no way to be seen and a
:18:47. > :18:50.deadline is fast approaching. On the eastern edge of Ecuador, the
:18:50. > :18:54.National Park is said to be one of the most biologically diverse
:18:54. > :18:59.locations in the world. There is more plants and bushes in a single

:19:13. > :19:17.another valuable resource - 1 billion barrels of oil, which
:19:17. > :19:22.amounts to around one 5th of all oil the reserves in Ecuador. This

:19:44. > :19:48.the National Park. Faced with a dilemma between exploitation and
:19:48. > :19:52.the conservation, the Government proposed a solution - if the world
:19:52. > :19:56.would stump up half of the oil's value, Ecuador would leave it in
:19:56. > :20:01.the ground and the area untouched. The Government said an initial
:20:01. > :20:06.payment of $100 million be paid by the end of this year, but this so-
:20:06. > :20:09.called green oil deal is in trouble. Just over half has been raised and
:20:09. > :20:14.several large countries including the UK and Germany are not willing

:21:21. > :21:27.still to be raised by Christmas, by January. By December actually.
:21:27. > :21:33.you going to make it? I am certainly hope full facts we will
:21:33. > :21:37.be making it, because countries are responding, although not as much as
:21:37. > :21:41.we would have expected. We all understand the current economic
:21:41. > :21:45.environment in which a lot of countries are in. But the stakes
:21:45. > :21:50.are too high for countries not to respond. It would be a great
:21:50. > :21:57.tragedy. Some countries like the UK and Germany have said it is a great
