:00:18. > :00:20.- before the trial is ended. The British Prime Minister said he'd

:00:21. > :00:30.made the wrong decision to take former News of the World editor

:00:31. > :00:38.Andy Coulson into Downing Street - but will Coulson's conviction push

:00:39. > :00:41.him to change the law? A Spanish judge names Princess

:00:42. > :00:44.Cristina - sister of the new King - as a suspect in a corruption

:00:45. > :00:48.investigation, paving the way for a possible criminal trial.

:01:01. > :01:04.We know about the poetry that emerged from the trenches of the

:01:05. > :01:20.First World War, but it also inspired some extraordinary music.

:01:21. > :01:23.Hello and welcome. British Prime Minister David Cameron has come

:01:24. > :01:30.under heavy criticism from a judge, campaigners and political opponents,

:01:31. > :01:37.after his former communications chief Andy Coulson was convicted of

:01:38. > :01:40.conspiracy to hack phones yesterday. In a highly unusual move, the trial

:01:41. > :01:43.judge has criticised David Cameron for deciding to apologise for

:01:44. > :01:55.employing Andy Coulson in Downing Street before the hacking trial was

:01:56. > :01:57.over. Today the jury was finally discharged after failing to reach

:01:58. > :02:01.verdicts on two further charges against Andy Coulson and the News of

:02:02. > :02:04.the World's former Royal editor, Clive Goodman. The judge will decide

:02:05. > :02:06.on Monday if they are to face a retrial.

:02:07. > :02:09.Today victims of the hacking have called on David Cameron to make good

:02:10. > :02:11.on his promises to reform the British press. Rob Watson has this

:02:12. > :02:20.report. What was described as the trial of

:02:21. > :02:24.the century has now ended. There was a battle for political advantage

:02:25. > :02:29.after the trial. David Cameron left Parliament knowing that it would be

:02:30. > :02:33.a tough session. The Prime Minister will always be remembered as the

:02:34. > :02:38.first ever occupant of his office who brought a criminal into the

:02:39. > :02:46.heart of Downing Street. But while Mr Cameron again apologised, he

:02:47. > :03:00.insisted he had been cleared by the very enquiry that he had ordered.

:03:01. > :03:13.All appointments were approved by the Leveson Inquiry. He cannot do it

:03:14. > :03:21.because Leveson Inquiry they could not do it. Voters believe

:03:22. > :03:28.politicians have been too cosy with the media and politicians also end

:03:29. > :03:31.rebukes from the judge at the trial. He criticised Mr Cameron for

:03:32. > :03:34.speaking out on the He criticised Mr Cameron for

:03:35. > :03:42.speaking verdicts before the trial was completed. The end of the trial

:03:43. > :03:44.has brought for the trial has brought further demands for

:03:45. > :03:54.politicians to get tough on the newspapers. This is the sister of

:03:55. > :03:57.the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler whose hacking of her phone had

:03:58. > :04:07.sparked the scandal and the first place. Make sure what happened to us

:04:08. > :04:10.will never happen again. But the newspaper industry believes that the

:04:11. > :04:17.investigation into hacking and overlooks heavy-handed. It did not

:04:18. > :04:23.result in an guilty of verdict for Rebekah Brooks or four other

:04:24. > :04:36.defendants. This is not the end of the story and other court cases are

:04:37. > :04:38.pending. Rupert Murdoch may well be questioned and the debate rumbles

:04:39. > :04:44.on. report.

:04:45. > :04:47.Roy Greenslade is Professor of Journalism at City University and a

:04:48. > :04:48.former editor of The Daily Mirror newspaper. He joins me from

:04:49. > :04:54.Brighton. What does this case tell you about

:04:55. > :04:59.the way some British journalism practised their craft? I think it is

:05:00. > :05:05.quite clear that the dark arts of journalism are generally regarded in

:05:06. > :05:23.Fleet Street as having reached a market depth --murky depth. Many

:05:24. > :05:27.people work is great anguish that that appears to have stopped and

:05:28. > :05:35.there has been a kind of ethical clean-up since the hacking scandal

:05:36. > :05:39.broke properly in July of 2009. The U think this case will push forward

:05:40. > :05:48.greater reform, tighter regulation of the press, or do you think the

:05:49. > :06:02.press will say they have regulated themselves? After the Leveson

:06:03. > :06:06.Inquiry, that recommended itself a new form of regulation. It is still

:06:07. > :06:09.self-regulation and that is a continued argument whether that

:06:10. > :06:15.should be backed by statute or be totally independent. That debate has

:06:16. > :06:32.largely been won already by the newspaper publishers who are setting

:06:33. > :06:38.up their new system of price regulation --press regulation. They

:06:39. > :06:43.will soon be creating a complaint procedure and a code of conduct and

:06:44. > :06:47.that system will go ahead and I do not think this case will make any

:06:48. > :06:58.difference to that outcome. They are so far down the road now and the

:06:59. > :07:01.government knows there is a general election next year and I do not

:07:02. > :07:08.think any of the party leaders have the appetite to take on the press

:07:09. > :07:16.and the publishers at this moment. To outside eyes, do you think that

:07:17. > :07:24.viewers around the world would see any difference after this new

:07:25. > :07:29.system? I do not think the system will make that much difference but I

:07:30. > :07:33.think in the intervening 45 years there has been much more of a

:07:34. > :07:48.clean-up and I think there has also been a move away from the old diet

:07:49. > :08:00.of kiss and tell stories. --four or five years. The Sun It is much more

:08:01. > :08:07.friendly and less vulgar and a truism than it was five years ago.

:08:08. > :08:07.That is the result of the appraisal by all publishers following the

:08:08. > :08:17.breaking of the scandal. World Cup news now,

:08:18. > :08:20.and of course everybody's talking about the Uruguayan and Liverpool

:08:21. > :08:21.striker Luis Suarez. Did he bite Italy's Giorgio

:08:22. > :08:23.Chiellini last night? There are other matches going

:08:24. > :08:46.on too on Day 14 of the tournament. It is unfortunate that the incidents

:08:47. > :08:51.took the focus of some of the beautiful football we witness

:08:52. > :09:01.yesterday. Luis Suarez has been given up to 17 hours, to make

:09:02. > :09:26.representations on the Internet and then fever will investigate FIFA --

:09:27. > :09:36.will investigate. If they do find evidence that he did actually bite

:09:37. > :09:42.the Italian player during that game, they will investigate further. We

:09:43. > :09:42.have had two great games in Brazil today. Argentina have

:09:43. > :09:51.have had two great games in Brazil topped their group. Even though

:09:52. > :09:59.Nigeria lost by two goals to three, the fact that Bosnia beat Iran meant

:10:00. > :10:01.that Nigeria finished with four points, in second place ahead of

:10:02. > :10:10.Bosnia. points, in second place ahead of

:10:11. > :10:16.This man has flown in from New York. How does it feel? It has been

:10:17. > :10:25.amazing. We're really excited and we cannot wait to take on probably

:10:26. > :10:32.France in the next round. It was quite nerve wracking, with a goal

:10:33. > :10:36.after two minutes? They played well against Bosnia and well against Iran

:10:37. > :10:41.and they had not conceded a goal up till now so I was confident they

:10:42. > :10:58.would come back. They could face France in around of 16 or Ecuador.

:10:59. > :11:05.Who would you pick? We would love to take on the weaker opponent,

:11:06. > :11:12.Ecuador. You travel back to New York tomorrow. I am flexible so I might

:11:13. > :11:21.have to make a trip if they make it to the finals. Two very happy

:11:22. > :11:37.Nigerian fans. The sister of the newly-crowned King

:11:38. > :11:39.Felipe of Spain could face a a tax fraud and money-laundering

:11:40. > :11:41.case. Princess Cristina was questioned in court in February

:11:42. > :11:45.about her husband's business dealings, which are alleged to be

:11:46. > :11:50.corrupt. Guy Hedgecoe is in Madrid.

:11:51. > :12:02.A bit of an unprecedented development for the sister of the

:12:03. > :12:08.monarch to be potentially in court? We have never seen a member of the

:12:09. > :12:11.Spanish Royal Family in modern times go through this process. It is

:12:12. > :12:16.worrying for the whole Royal family which is trying to prove itself at

:12:17. > :12:22.the moment. This is not what they had in mind. Has there been any

:12:23. > :12:27.statement from the Royals today? There was a brief statement in

:12:28. > :12:31.reaction to the decision and said that the Royal household accepted

:12:32. > :12:41.and respected the independence of the judiciary and so they accepted

:12:42. > :12:44.the decision that had been made. I think this was the king making a

:12:45. > :12:47.statement he was not getting involved in this case and he does

:12:48. > :12:51.not want to be seen as influencing this case are helping his sister

:12:52. > :12:55.somehow. I think Spaniards would view that very dimly so he is keen

:12:56. > :13:03.to distance himself from this whole case and respect the judiciary is

:13:04. > :13:07.the case and rivals. He is supposed to be the clean pair of hands after

:13:08. > :13:15.his father and his popularity diminished. He took office last

:13:16. > :13:22.Thursday. He is 46 and are very well travelled figure who has really been

:13:23. > :13:27.groomed for this job. When he took office on Thursday, his first speech

:13:28. > :13:32.as King mentioned specifically the way he saw his role and the way he

:13:33. > :13:36.sees the monarchy in the 21st-century. He said the Spanish

:13:37. > :13:44.Royal Family must be beyond approach and offer an example by being honest

:13:45. > :13:50.and transparent. Just six days later, he has his sister possibly

:13:51. > :13:54.facing a court trial for corruption. This is not what he had in mind but

:13:55. > :13:58.a lot of people do see him as someone they think can take the

:13:59. > :14:01.monarchy forward and he seems to have more support than his father

:14:02. > :14:06.did at the end of his time as King. Now, a look at some

:14:07. > :14:13.of the day?s other news. Police say 21 people have been

:14:14. > :14:16.killed and 17 injured in a shopping mall explosion

:14:17. > :14:19.in the Nigerian capital of Abuja. The area was packed with people

:14:20. > :14:21.at the time of the blast, and body parts are reported to be

:14:22. > :14:26.scattered across the area. Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri

:14:27. > :14:28.al-Maliki has rejected calls for a national salvation government

:14:29. > :14:31.to help counter the offensive He warned such calls represented

:14:32. > :14:35.a "coup against the constitution and an attempt to

:14:36. > :14:38.end the democratic experience". The US has repeatedly urged Iraq's

:14:39. > :14:41.leaders to form a unity government More than 800 Taliban militants have

:14:42. > :14:50.attacked military checkpoints in Helmand province

:14:51. > :14:52.in southern Afghanistan. Local officials say there have been

:14:53. > :14:55.heavy casualties on both sides, as Hundreds of families have walked

:14:56. > :14:58.long distances to get away The American Secretary of

:14:59. > :15:07.State John Kerry has urged President Putin to publicly call

:15:08. > :15:09.on pro-Russian separatists Mr Kerry said that until Russia

:15:10. > :15:14.took action to prove it was fully committed to peace, the United

:15:15. > :15:24.States and Europe would be compelled He said that there would be tougher

:15:25. > :15:28.sanctions if measures were not taken.

:15:29. > :15:31.We believe it is critical for President Putin to prove by his

:15:32. > :15:34.actions, not just his words, that he is fully committed to peace.

:15:35. > :15:36.It is critical for him to stop the flow of weapons

:15:37. > :15:40.Publicly, for the separatists to lay down their arms.

:15:41. > :15:41.To pull Russian forces and equipment back.

:15:42. > :15:47.And to help get the hostages released.

:15:48. > :15:52.Until Russia fully makes that kind of commitment to the peace process

:15:53. > :15:58.and to the stability of Ukraine, the United States and Europe are

:15:59. > :16:03.compelled to continue to prepare greater costs, including tough

:16:04. > :16:09.economic sanctions, with the hope that they will not have to be used.

:16:10. > :16:13.But that is dependent on the choices Russia and its president

:16:14. > :16:35.More than 70 South Korean teenagers who survived the ferry sinking have

:16:36. > :16:40.returned to school. The trial for the 14 crew members held responsible

:16:41. > :16:45.is now under way in the south of the country.

:16:46. > :16:51.They all arrive together, the ones who survived. For many of them, it

:16:52. > :16:56.was a first glimpse of the campers since they all left together for a

:16:57. > :17:02.school trip two months ago. Whilst their parents looked on, some

:17:03. > :17:07.students cried, whilst others are out there heads as they walked

:17:08. > :17:12.through the school gates. Everything may look the same, but with 250 of

:17:13. > :17:18.their school friends not returning, it is a difficult time.

:17:19. > :17:24.TRANSLATION: We were not for get them. Our memories of them may

:17:25. > :17:28.become memories of guilt and we may feel sorry for them, because there

:17:29. > :17:31.are many things that we cannot do together.

:17:32. > :17:35.In a statement, the parents said that they hoped going back to school

:17:36. > :17:39.would help the children return to their normal lives. It is

:17:40. > :17:45.frightening to send them back to school, while there pain have not

:17:46. > :17:51.yet healed, but we support their wishes, the parents said.

:17:52. > :17:54.Since the tragedy, the surviving students of the school have had

:17:55. > :17:59.group therapy and psychological treatment. Many of them have

:18:00. > :18:03.complained about the public spotlight and have asked the media

:18:04. > :18:09.to stay away. The school authorities have said that in the coming weeks

:18:10. > :18:11.the teachers will prioritise classes that help the students adapt to

:18:12. > :18:16.school life. The UK's biggest so-called payday

:18:17. > :18:19.lender Wonga has been ordered to pay more than ?2.5 million

:18:20. > :18:21.in compensation after it used fake legal letters to pressurise

:18:22. > :18:24.struggling customers into paying up. Wonga sent 45,000 people threatening

:18:25. > :18:27.letters from law firms The City regulator has told the BBC

:18:28. > :18:47.it has now sent a file to You appear to be in a financial

:18:48. > :18:53.quandary, and one day you will choose exactly how much to borrow

:18:54. > :18:58.and for how long. It all seems comforting, but a

:18:59. > :19:04.different side of Wonga was shown. Bogus law letters sent by bogus law

:19:05. > :19:09.firms, and an administration fee. The regulator told me that it was

:19:10. > :19:12.behaviour that should stop. The individuals are often vulnerable

:19:13. > :19:15.customers who have nowhere else to go for money and then they default

:19:16. > :19:20.on those loans because they do not have the money to repay. And to

:19:21. > :19:24.deceive these people with threats of an official letter which is fake I

:19:25. > :19:33.think it is pretty serious. Here, the details of Wonga's fake

:19:34. > :19:38.letters. 45,000 customers were said letters from fake law firms. They

:19:39. > :19:43.would then charged administration fees, which totalled ?400,000.

:19:44. > :19:50.Country-mac has also admitted that 200,000 customers had overpaid on

:19:51. > :19:54.their loans -- Wonga. The payday lenders said that they

:19:55. > :20:00.were sorry for the practices that continued from 2008 until 2010.

:20:01. > :20:07.Today is not a proud day for the company, and we sincerely apologise

:20:08. > :20:12.to those affected. We will properly compensate them and these issues are

:20:13. > :20:15.in the past. Here at the headquarters of the

:20:16. > :20:19.company, they know that they are the guilty party, but the regulator says

:20:20. > :20:26.that there are problems across the payday loan industry. There will be

:20:27. > :20:31.more findings over the next few months. The regulator has also put

:20:32. > :20:35.Wonga on notice, sort these problems out, or their licence could be in

:20:36. > :20:40.danger. The documents will be given to the

:20:41. > :20:43.police, who will decide whether or not to take further action.

:20:44. > :20:45.Country-mac say that they have changed, now is the time for them to

:20:46. > :20:52.prove it. -- Wonga. On the centenary of the start

:20:53. > :20:54.of World War One, across the BBC we're remembering the

:20:55. > :20:57.music that emerged from the trenches and the way composers were changed

:20:58. > :21:00.by the carnage across Europe. The poets of World War One,

:21:01. > :21:02.like Owen and Sassoon, are often celebrated,

:21:03. > :21:04.but the Great War sparked some We'll hear more in a minute from

:21:05. > :21:07.BBC Radio Three presenter But first David Hannah looks

:21:08. > :21:31.at the impact of the war on some MUSIC PLAYS

:21:32. > :21:37.Edward Elgar with his finer major work, the cello Concerto, giving his

:21:38. > :21:45.response to the horrors of World War I.

:21:46. > :21:53.British composers died in the trenches, including George

:21:54. > :21:58.Butterworth and Cecil Coles. Others, such as Ivor Gurney, ended their

:21:59. > :22:07.days in mental institutions. MUSIC PLAYS

:22:08. > :22:13.Ralph Vaughan Williams with his Pastoral Symphony reflected on the

:22:14. > :22:19.stillness of the battlefield. He was a medical orderly and was

:22:20. > :22:31.himself gassed. MUSIC PLAYS

:22:32. > :22:41.And, of course, there was the monstrous sound of battle.

:22:42. > :22:42.Gustav Holst Mars from the Planets. English music would never be the

:22:43. > :22:58.same again. With me now is a BBC Radio three

:22:59. > :23:08.presenter. Thank you for joining us. We heard about how you have both the

:23:09. > :23:13.optimistic music and the anguish. Yes, one of the interesting things

:23:14. > :23:17.about all of this in-depth look at the music and the fact that the war

:23:18. > :23:25.had on the music is that we see many different stories. There is

:23:26. > :23:29.jingoism, and after the war, as countries are building their sense

:23:30. > :23:35.of national identity and pride that is there. But there is also the

:23:36. > :23:37.sense of allergy, which British composers like Ralph Vaughan

:23:38. > :23:45.Williams were looking at. -- of remembrance. And people who saw the

:23:46. > :23:54.war were very changed. A lot of it is looking back to a previous

:23:55. > :23:58.obsession with loss and the loss of the folk music tradition, which

:23:59. > :24:04.composers were very interested in in the early 20th century, before the

:24:05. > :24:10.outbreak of war. But that becomes part of the post-war music as well.

:24:11. > :24:19.Do you also get the move, after the war, like other art forms, that

:24:20. > :24:25.everything is falling apart, man's in humanity to man, it can lead to

:24:26. > :24:30.chaotic music? Yes, I think that there were many

:24:31. > :24:36.composers for whom the First World War got in the way. It is terrible

:24:37. > :24:39.to say, but many people were already challenging music and pushing the

:24:40. > :24:47.edges of what we understand to be music. They ended up serving, but he

:24:48. > :24:55.wanted to get back to writing music. That is in contrast to a composer in

:24:56. > :25:04.Paris, Ravel, whose music we will be playing live, it is going out across

:25:05. > :25:13.Europe from Sarajevo, 100 years on it since arch duke Franz Ferdinand

:25:14. > :25:20.was killed. He was determined to fight, but he was too short, so he

:25:21. > :25:28.drove a lorry. But for him, the war was a marker for him as a man.

:25:29. > :25:34.You are about to go to Sarajevo, marking the moment that the Archduke

:25:35. > :25:42.was shot. But the BBC is looking at the changing of music at that time?

:25:43. > :25:51.Yes, with Ravel in Paris, he used to visit a jazz clubs. Paris had huge

:25:52. > :25:57.amounts of jazz, as did many other places in Europe. It was happening

:25:58. > :26:02.before the war, but it continued. There are many different influences

:26:03. > :26:06.coming in, and we think about it in terms of supplies and logistics, but

:26:07. > :26:13.also for courtship? Yes, people were influenced, the

:26:14. > :26:22.culture was influenced by what was going on. There was one composer who

:26:23. > :26:30.spent time in mental institutions suffering from shell shock.

:26:31. > :26:35.Thank you for your insight and telling us about these Sarajevo

:26:36. > :26:41.concert on Saturday. Thank you for joining us. You can

:26:42. > :27:00.talk to us about any of our stories on our Twitter page. Goodbye.

:27:01. > :27:02.Good evening. There is still plenty of fine weather to
