:01:40. > :01:43.bullish and denied that he used his babies to put pressure on
:01:43. > :01:48.successive British governments. He said it was natural for politicians
:01:48. > :01:56.to seek the support of newspaper Editors but he had never asked a

:02:43. > :02:51.Government but the inquiry's QC pressed the point about his
:02:51. > :03:00.influence. There was always a political freeze on with your

:03:08. > :03:16.want to put it to bed once and for all, that that is a complete myth.
:03:16. > :03:21.What is the myth? That I used the influence of the Sun or supposed

:05:08. > :05:12.country? He called for a judicial inquiry and that is what I have set
:05:12. > :05:17.up. Whether it is the proper regulation of the press, cleaning
:05:17. > :05:21.our financial system, dealing with our debts, I don't duck my
:05:21. > :05:25.responsibilities. What a pity he can't live up to his. It is ironic
:05:25. > :05:29.that the political leaders have spent years trying to get close to
:05:29. > :05:34.Rupert Murdoch and his newspaper titles. Now that closeness is
:05:34. > :05:40.proving a major political problem. There will be more at the inquiry
:05:40. > :05:47.from Mr Murdoch on Thursday. I am joined by Michael White from
:05:47. > :05:52.the Guardian newspaper. What did you make of Mr Murdoch's statement
:05:52. > :05:58.that he never sought any favours from the Prime Minister? I was at
:05:58. > :06:03.the High Court in London all day. Within pie throwing distance of Mr
:06:03. > :06:11.Murdoch and I have never spent that much time in his company. He was
:06:11. > :06:17.fascinating. He was very mellow. He was 81, very sharp. I felt most of
:06:17. > :06:27.the time he was like a person that had been summoned by the local
:06:27. > :06:28.
:06:28. > :06:33.chieftains to resolve a minor dispute. I did remember their names,
:06:33. > :06:43.I vaguely remember the lunch or the Chequers dinner with the Mrs
:06:43. > :06:44.
:06:44. > :06:49.Thatcher. It is full of stuff like that. Some of it was quite funny.
:06:49. > :06:59.He was often quite funny. Did it seem as if he was not taking it
:06:59. > :07:07.entirely seriously? Possibly so. He was pretending to. At lunchtime, he
:07:07. > :07:14.said he was overheard to say let's get this stuff over whiff. We don't
:07:14. > :07:18.want to come back tomorrow. -- Bothel Withe. He said he is the
:07:18. > :07:24.controlling shareholder added is perfectly normal if you want to buy
:07:24. > :07:30.in the shares that you don't earn. He doesn't always think of the word
:07:30. > :07:34.monopoly and let it influence. The council, the QC, had a list of
:07:34. > :07:40.people who said it is all very well at you saying you don't have the
:07:40. > :07:48.influence, never asking for deals, it is more subtle than that. He
:07:48. > :07:52.listed a whole load of people. Tony Blair, Harry Evans, Paul Keating,
:07:52. > :07:58.ex-prime minister of Australia. Murdoch is the kind of guy you can
:07:58. > :08:06.do a deal with without ever having to say you have done a deal. He
:08:06. > :08:11.said Keating was a loud mouth. Don't take your word from him.
:08:11. > :08:15.there any interesting insights into recent British history? I am
:08:15. > :08:20.referring to the conversation he had with Gordon Brown when he was
:08:20. > :08:30.Prime Minister. You would get confused in my business at my age.
:08:30. > :08:31.
:08:31. > :08:37.Don't we know all this? It was alleged that Brown had e-mailed him
:08:37. > :08:41.on the eve of his speech in 2009 before the election. He said they
:08:41. > :08:50.had a conversation and were talking more quietly than you and I are
:08:50. > :08:54.talking now. He was pretty cross. He said I will declare war on you.
:08:54. > :09:02.Brown has denied this but Murdoch is a pretty good winners and when
:09:02. > :09:09.he was asked about the baby, revealing that Fraser Brown had
:09:09. > :09:15.cystic fibrosis. He said it was all very well but Rebekah Brooks said
:09:15. > :09:22.how she had sensitively treated the incident and she was grateful. A
:09:22. > :09:26.polished performance. Now the other news. The head of
:09:26. > :09:31.Israel's Armed Forces has disagreed with his Prime Minister saying he
:09:31. > :09:39.does not think Iran will develop nuclear weapons. In direct
:09:39. > :09:42.contracts to a tougher statements by Binyamin Netanyahu, he said the
:09:42. > :09:51.rage in -- Iranian leadership was made up of irrational people who
:09:51. > :09:54.were not want to go the extra mile. US TV networks are saying that Newt

:10:49. > :10:55.news. -- here in Britain. We are back in recession since the crash
:10:55. > :10:59.of 2008. A double dip has happened. David Cameron did little to hide
:10:59. > :11:06.his disappointment but said he would be sticking to the austerity
:11:06. > :11:13.plan. The cogs in the economic machine
:11:13. > :11:16.grind on that they could be going faster. GDP grows -- is the term
:11:16. > :11:26.for everything the economy produces. If it falls for six months, you get
:11:26. > :11:31.It is hard for the economy to move forward when shoppers are careful
:11:31. > :11:36.with their cash, squeezed by rapid rises in the cost of living.
:11:36. > :11:44.Everything is going up and wages are not. I have been on a freeze
:11:44. > :11:49.for four years and I'm struggling. The Asda boss knows customers have
:11:49. > :11:52.tightened their belts and doesn't expect it to change. A they are
:11:52. > :11:57.becoming more savvy in terms of how they are shopping. When they are
:11:57. > :12:06.filling up their car with fuel, they put round values in. That is
:12:06. > :12:09.how much money they have got to spend on fuel. Who is to blame? The
:12:09. > :12:14.Prime Minister and Labour my leader gave their views. Typical of this
:12:14. > :12:19.arrogant Prime Minister who tries to blame everyone else. The reality
:12:19. > :12:23.it is this is a recession made by him and the Chancellor in Downing
:12:23. > :12:30.Street. This is a tough and difficult situation that the
:12:30. > :12:32.economy is in the but the one thing we mustn't do, is to abandon public
:12:32. > :12:38.spending and deficit-reduction plans because the solution to a
:12:38. > :12:42.debt crisis cannot be more debt. The breakdown of the figures shows
:12:42. > :12:48.there was a 0.1% increase for service industries including retail
:12:48. > :12:53.but manufacturing output fell by 0.1%. Construction saw a big drop
:12:53. > :12:56.of 3% over the three-month period. To work out whether the apart --
:12:56. > :12:59.economy is growing, officials have to gather data from a range of
:12:59. > :13:03.different industries including construction. There has been
:13:04. > :13:08.criticism of the way they measure activity in this sector, with some
:13:08. > :13:12.claiming the figures are too volatile and don't reflect what is
:13:12. > :13:19.going on. The Bank of England says the construction numbers are
:13:19. > :13:23.perplexing. What does the man in charge of economic policy say? You
:13:23. > :13:26.launched growth strategy a year ago and now there is no growth. I have
:13:26. > :13:31.never disguised the fact that Britain faces a difficult economic
:13:31. > :13:38.situation. We have this debt crisis and they were built up over many
:13:38. > :13:43.years. If I had some magic wand i it would waive it and the British
:13:43. > :13:47.economy would spurting to growth. He ignored our warnings and a call
:13:47. > :13:53.for a plan for jobs and growth and families and businesses are paying
:13:53. > :13:58.the price. Many commentators thought the UK would avoid a slip
:13:58. > :14:04.back into recession but it has happened. They will now have to
:14:04. > :14:08.work out the implications. Hugh joins me now. When we hear the
:14:08. > :14:18.words, double dip, we assume it is going to be as bad as last time. Is
:14:18. > :14:20.
:14:20. > :14:27.it? Definitely not. There was a sharp drop in output for the UK. We
:14:27. > :14:30.are talking about a small percentage point. The underlying
:14:30. > :14:36.picture is a basically flat because you have a dispute over
:14:36. > :14:40.construction and get revisions. Bumping along, that doesn't help in
:14:40. > :14:45.the process of job creation and it is not much consolation to anyone
:14:45. > :14:49.out there looking for a job if they are struggling with the economy as
:14:49. > :14:54.it is. I don't think it will be lurching back to what it was years
:14:54. > :14:59.ago. Why is Britain can -- in comparison to the rest of Europe
:14:59. > :15:04.and America? American growth has been strong and that plays into the
:15:04. > :15:09.old US elections situation. President Obama is happy about that.
:15:09. > :15:14.They have to stop their austerity programme in the US and that is
:15:14. > :15:18.another matter altogether. The eurozone is forecast on a European
:15:18. > :15:24.Commission to go into recession and there was negative output at the
:15:24. > :15:28.end of last year. The UK it is by no means alone and a witness in the
:15:28. > :15:33.eurozone hits the UK because of the trading links. The UK does have
:15:33. > :15:38.that argument to make. The Government says it is not the only
:15:38. > :15:48.one that many critics will say it is the scale of the budget cuts
:15:48. > :15:49.
:15:49. > :15:55.No sign of any change from veered Chancellor of the Exchequer. He is
:15:55. > :16:00.very much sticking to the idea that he has to cut debt or borrowing.
:16:00. > :16:05.You have to hope that growth will pick up. Thank you.
:16:05. > :16:08.The Norwegian mass killer Anders Breivik has told his trial in Oslo
:16:08. > :16:13.that a psychiatric report that declared in insane was full of lies.
:16:13. > :16:18.It is now up to the court to decide whether he is criminally insane.
:16:18. > :16:26.Anders Breivik, who admits killing 77 people last July, insists he is
:16:26. > :16:30.of sound mind. Anders Breivik came to court aiming to discredit the
:16:30. > :16:37.psychiatrist who had declared him insane. He has accused them of
:16:37. > :16:39.lying. The court also heard Anders Breivik makes statements that may
:16:39. > :16:46.have strengthened the psychiatrist's conclusion. He
:16:46. > :16:51.talked about people who should be killed in Norway. He said 98 or 99%
:16:51. > :16:55.of the population, innocent civilians, but a small elite,
:16:55. > :17:01.working for a multi- cultural goals are legitimate targets. He went on
:17:01. > :17:06.to say, after the Second World War, 15 leading Nazi sympathisers and
:17:06. > :17:11.others were sent to psychiatric hospitals for ideological reasons.
:17:11. > :17:17.This is Norway's dirty secret. Experts are listening to this today
:17:17. > :17:24.believe it reveals more about Anders Breivik's own state of mind.
:17:24. > :17:31.What he said today is the closest I have ever heard from him that he
:17:32. > :17:38.might have paranoid delusions about the way he interprets the reality
:17:38. > :17:44.around him. To it seems he may have a history of psychiatric problems.
:17:44. > :17:47.In the 1980s, he and his family lived here in Oslo. When he was
:17:47. > :17:53.just four years old, they are reported to have spent weeks in
:17:53. > :17:57.this special centre of Psychiatry for children. If ultimately the
:17:57. > :18:00.court house here does decide that he is insane, but would mean he
:18:00. > :18:04.would spend time in a secure or psychiatric ward. For many
:18:04. > :18:14.Norwegians, but would not be right. They want to see him punished in
:18:14. > :18:17.prison, not treated for an illness. The inquest into the death of a
:18:17. > :18:22.British intelligence officer found dead inside a padlocked sports bike
:18:22. > :18:30.has heard from a former landlady. In a written statement, she told
:18:31. > :18:34.the inquest she had once and Gareth Williams tied to his own bed.
:18:34. > :18:38.Gareth Williams, the intelligence officer whose body was found in a
:18:38. > :18:44.bike. He was described as a very private person. He spent ten years
:18:44. > :18:49.living in this house while working at GCHQ. His former landlady
:18:49. > :18:53.describes hearing him cry for help at 1:30am one morning. She and her
:18:53. > :18:58.husband found him alone in his underwear, embarrassed with his
:18:58. > :19:03.wrists tied to the bed. My husband said what are you doing. He said he
:19:03. > :19:07.just wanted to see if he could get free. On 23rd August, 2010, police
:19:07. > :19:12.found his body in the bath tub of his London flat, near his new
:19:12. > :19:16.workplace at MI6. He was curled up in the bag in a foetal position,
:19:16. > :19:19.with the keys underneath them. The bike was locked on the outside,
:19:20. > :19:24.with police believing someone else was involved. Today, the inquest
:19:24. > :19:27.heard from a police officer in charge of liaising with the
:19:27. > :19:32.intelligence agencies. He said his inquiries had found no evidence
:19:32. > :19:37.that Gareth Williams's death was linked to his work. This afternoon,
:19:37. > :19:41.former colleagues gave their evidence. His line manager said in
:19:41. > :19:44.hindsight, he would have done more to try and establish why Gareth
:19:44. > :19:49.Williams missed one week of meetings and appointments before
:19:49. > :19:53.police were finally contacted. They give their evidence behind a screen
:19:53. > :19:57.to protect their identity. Lawyers from his family also question why
:19:57. > :20:01.spies have not signed witness statements and whether commute --
:20:01. > :20:09.computer material had been secured before police took possession. More
:20:09. > :20:13.evidence from former colleagues is expected to take place tomorrow.

:20:56. > :21:01.patch of land is still known here as the amputee camp. The camp
:21:02. > :21:06.itself is long gone. In the 1990s, it was home to attempted settlement
:21:06. > :21:12.of men women and children who had their limbs severed by machete or

:21:35. > :21:42.times. He says he had heard Charles Taylor on the radio threatening to
:21:42. > :21:48.make Sierra Leone the taste the bitterness of war. This is my stone
:21:48. > :21:54.conviction, that everything that happened here was Charles Taylor's
:21:54. > :21:58.doing. Charles Taylor was President of Liberia. He has been on trial in
:21:58. > :22:02.the Hague for the last four years, accused of arming, funding and

:24:58. > :25:03.in gold, platinum and aluminium. They also contain water, which
:25:03. > :25:07.could be split into hydrogen and oxygen to produce rocket fuel. At a

:25:22. > :25:27.Today I am very proud, along with my colleagues here to be announcing

:25:31. > :25:36.resources of space available to humanity, both in space and here on
:25:36. > :25:41.earth. The plan is to send a robotic probes to collect and bring
:25:41. > :25:44.back samples to earth. Similar missions already under way by
:25:44. > :25:48.government space agencies have cost hundreds of millions of pounds.
:25:48. > :25:54.Many scientists are sceptical that the company, which needs to raise
:25:54. > :25:58.finance for its idea, can deliver. Mining on an asteroid may seem a
:25:59. > :26:03.little far-fetched, but there is one factor that might make this
:26:03. > :26:06.seemingly science-fiction idea into reality. That is, nearly all the
:26:06. > :26:13.world's supply of important elements used by the electronics
:26:13. > :26:16.industry comes from just one place, China. The US in particular feels
:26:16. > :26:21.uncomfortable but China controls such as strategically important
:26:21. > :26:27.resource. Asteroid mining will be expensive, but with the earth's
:26:27. > :26:32.resources dwindling, backers of the plan say they have to try.

:26:59. > :27:03.The that is all from us today. Next Hello there. We have had a wet and
:27:03. > :27:06.windy Wednesday as we look to tomorrow's forecast, still low
:27:06. > :27:10.pressure sitting across the country, so it does stay very unsettled for
:27:10. > :27:15.many of us. We will have some heavy showers and more persistent rain.

:27:18. > :27:21.weather front sitting across parts of eastern Scotland and northern
:27:21. > :27:25.England as we start their stay morning. Here, cloudy skies with
:27:25. > :27:29.some persistent rain and further south by the afternoon, we have
:27:29. > :27:33.some showers developing. Yet again, these are likely to be frequent,
:27:33. > :27:36.heavy with some thunderstorms mixed in. When you get the showers,
:27:36. > :27:41.temperatures will dip away, but if you are in between the downpours
:27:41. > :27:45.and you get some sunshine, we could see temperatures of around 12 to 13
:27:45. > :27:49.degrees. Still some gusty winds around, so a blustery feeling in

:27:53. > :27:56.mixture of sunshine and showers across parts of Wales, with some of
:27:56. > :28:00.the heavier showers across the northern half of the country, there
:28:00. > :28:05.could be the risk of some localised flooding. For Northern Ireland, to
:28:05. > :28:09.the South East corner, it is cloudy and damp, but a little bit drier

:28:12. > :28:16.dry and bright. It is still quite windy here, taking the edge of the
