:07:34. > :07:43.make sure European law, both in spirit and otherwise, are fully

:09:08. > :09:13.law, then it should be amended. the commission had to play top to
:09:13. > :09:18.get the Hungarians to back down. The fact is, Hungary cannot afford
:09:18. > :09:24.to lose support because it needs a loan to help it repay debt. But
:09:24. > :09:27.questions remain about whether the concessions will be enough. The
:09:27. > :09:31.Hungarian Prime Minister is now preparing to address the European
:09:31. > :09:35.Parliament. The last time he came here, he got a mauling over the
:09:35. > :09:43.constitution. Even if he is now willing to compromise, it may not
:09:43. > :09:50.be enough to appease left-of-centre groups.
:09:50. > :09:54.Now, let's go live to Budapest. Hungry's credit status is drunk
:09:54. > :09:58.status, so do financial imperatives trump everything else? They are
:09:58. > :10:02.very important indeed and the government has been putting a brave
:10:02. > :10:06.face on this today saying it will listen to these criticisms from the
:10:06. > :10:10.European Commission and will change them as necessary, so it is more of
:10:10. > :10:15.the same. It is a blow to hungry, but I think what it will do,
:10:15. > :10:20.especially with the central bank will, the most controversial piece,
:10:20. > :10:24.I expect it will change it to speed up the process of getting an IMF
:10:24. > :10:30.loan, although there are talks under way. This threat of
:10:30. > :10:35.proceedings is pretty rare, isn't it? Viktor Orban has be known as
:10:35. > :10:40.Europe's Hugo Chavez. How much dissent is there inside Hungary
:10:40. > :10:45.against these changes? It is important to remember that the
:10:45. > :10:49.government was elected by a massive majority and a lot of that support
:10:49. > :10:52.has been ebbed away. There have been anti-government demonstrations

:10:55. > :11:00.The government feels the Commission and the critics are not respecting

:12:21. > :12:24.around 7,000 of them. But as our correspondent Mark Lowen reports
:12:24. > :12:26.from Tripoli, with no functioning legal system, they face an
:12:26. > :12:31.uncertain future. It's barely three months since
:12:31. > :12:36.their liberation. Three months since they reduced him to this. A
:12:36. > :12:41.new order imposed. Their ruler crushed. But the euphoria of that
:12:41. > :12:45.day has begun to fade. He already goes unnoticed. And it's his
:12:45. > :12:50.supporters who are left locked up now. For thousands remain stuck in
:12:50. > :12:54.the country's cramped prisons with no functioning legal system. And
:12:54. > :13:02.they tell of serious abuse from guards. One shows me the scars
:13:02. > :13:06.where his arms were smashed with hammers. Put us on trial if
:13:06. > :13:09.necessary but I don't even know what I'm accused of, he says. "I
:13:09. > :13:16.don't understand what this revolution is. I'm 60 years old.
:13:16. > :13:18.This is making us hate the revolution." It's a pattern that is
:13:18. > :13:23.worryingly widespread, according to human rights campaigners, who say
:13:23. > :13:26.some Gaddafi supporters have been tortured to death in detention.
:13:26. > :13:36.this will continue, our community will divide against and with the
:13:36. > :13:36.
:13:36. > :13:40.government. Like the past. We don't need this in the future. And what
:13:40. > :13:45.would happen if those divisions continue? We don't know. Maybe
:13:45. > :13:51.civil war, maybe anything. But the security will be disturbed in the
:13:51. > :13:53.country. Even the sick are segregated. This floor in Tripoli
:13:53. > :13:57.Hospital is for the pro-Gaddafi loyalists, while the
:13:57. > :14:01.revolutionaries are cared for upstairs. It's for their safety.
:14:01. > :14:06.The splits remain too deep. The fear of reprisal attacks still too
:14:06. > :14:08.great. That's partly why so many Gaddafi supporters are detained,
:14:08. > :14:18.according to the Justice Minister, who admits his government is
:14:18. > :14:20.
:14:20. > :14:23.the one hand, we were afraid of them, that they might do something
:14:23. > :14:26.against the revolution, and on the other hand because we must protect
:14:26. > :14:28.them in case somebody attacks them in revenge. It's in these still
:14:28. > :14:32.staunchly pro-Gaddafi areas that the government's attempt at
:14:32. > :14:35.reconciliation will be judged. There are no tricolour
:14:36. > :14:38.revolutionaries' flags flying in this part of Tripoli. Those that
:14:39. > :14:45.sided with the uprising say they were long abused under the Gaddafi
:14:45. > :14:48.regime but the fear is that revenge could stalk the new Libya. It will
:14:48. > :14:53.take time for the wounds of civil war to heal, for a post-Gaddafi

:15:13. > :15:19.China's economy is slowing down. Let's have a look at the latest
:15:19. > :15:27.figures. Growth was at just over 9% last year. That is compared to the
:15:27. > :15:31.2010 figure of 10.4%. It is still higher than the 8% growth figure of
:15:31. > :15:36.the Chinese target -- government had set for last year. Let's go
:15:36. > :15:40.took Washington now and speak to make senior fellow at the
:15:40. > :15:46.Brooklands institute. The lowest level for 2.5 years. Does this mean
:15:46. > :15:54.that things are, broadly speaking, on course? Well, yes. The 9% gross
:15:54. > :15:58.rate is not bad. The Chinese government a more troubled by other
:15:58. > :16:04.statistics - China's export declined over the past few months,
:16:04. > :16:08.and also China's domestic situation, in particular the labour cost,
:16:08. > :16:14.increased also drastically. These are too troubling factors. More
:16:14. > :16:19.than that, there is a serious concern about the property bubble
:16:19. > :16:23.in the country. And, also at the inflation rate is going up. The
:16:23. > :16:33.Chinese economy is not in good shape. What is the ideal figure,
:16:33. > :16:39.according to the Chinese authorities, in terms of growth?
:16:39. > :16:45.one hand, China does not want to have overheating, and the Chinese
:16:45. > :16:49.government wants to slow down the economy. But there is another
:16:50. > :16:56.situation where you see the outflow of capital, people's confidence
:16:56. > :16:59.declining. The Chinese government is facing a Dover -- dilemma in
:16:59. > :17:07.looking at public opinion of how to assess the Chinese economic

:17:31. > :17:36.thing is to try to have -- increase employment locally, and emphasised

:17:58. > :18:01.succession. For many he's not only the greatest
:18:01. > :18:04.sportsman, but also entertainer, of all time. He coined the phrase
:18:04. > :18:07."float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" to describe his unorthodox
:18:07. > :18:10.fighting style and today, Muhammad Ali has reached another major
:18:10. > :18:14.milestone. Despite his long battle with Parkinson's Disease he's
:18:14. > :18:24.celebrating his 70th birthday. Our Sports Editor David Bond looks now
:18:24. > :18:26.
:18:26. > :18:31.at Ali's political and social legacy.
:18:31. > :18:40.Muhammad Ali in his prime - fast, brave and brash. Even in the early
:18:40. > :18:45.days, before he was world champion, it was clear he was different. This
:18:45. > :18:50.is Muhammad Ali at 70. Back in Kentucky to celebrate his birthday
:18:50. > :18:55.this weekend. Physically diminished by Parkinson's disease, but still
:18:55. > :18:59.displaying the same courage. Courage is only part of the legend.
:18:59. > :19:09.His three world titles confirmed his place in boxing history, but he
:19:09. > :19:15.
:19:15. > :19:19.was also an entertainer. One more time! My only fault is I really
:19:19. > :19:23.don't and it -- I don't realise how great I really am. Not everyone
:19:23. > :19:29.found the sun -- funny side. In the 60s, his views on race and religion
:19:29. > :19:36.were controversial. The world needs a lot more Muhammad Ali's to be
:19:36. > :19:40.outspoken and brave. He was the boss, he was speaking. It is now
:19:41. > :19:47.more than 30 years since Muhammad Ali retired from the ring. Yet, he
:19:48. > :19:52.is still an inspirational figure to anyone in boxing. At 70, he remains
:19:52. > :19:57.the greatest sporting icon of our age. Young boxers are still in awe
:19:57. > :20:00.of him. For this group from a club in south London, watching just a
:20:00. > :20:05.few minutes of a classic Muhammad Ali fight is enough to leave them
:20:05. > :20:10.mesmerised. He is one of the biggest icons in boxing. He
:20:10. > :20:15.inspires loads and loads of people. I just watch some of his fights and
:20:15. > :20:19.I Pickup so much straightaway. Lighting the Olympic flame in
:20:19. > :20:25.Atlanta in 1996 showed the world his determination to face his
:20:25. > :20:31.biggest opponent head on. It took a sack full of guts to carry that
:20:31. > :20:40.Olympic flame up that ramp. The courage that he showed as an older
:20:41. > :20:47.man struggling with Parkinson's disease. It was perhaps a greater
:20:47. > :20:53.courage than he showed as a young man. Muhammad Ali has spent his
:20:53. > :21:00.lifetime defying expectations. His 70th birthday is another example of
:21:00. > :21:04.why he remains, for many, the greatest.

:22:14. > :22:19.Hood Museum, Robin Hood Delors, and a yearly Robin Hood pageant. Of
:22:19. > :22:23.course, the world of film has had a huge influence on tourism. New
:22:23. > :22:27.Zealand provided the setting for Sir Peter Jackson's big-screen
:22:27. > :22:37.versions of the Lord Of the Rings trilogy. The country's breathtaking
