  • The Andrew Marr Show Interview: William Hague, Mp
    PLEASE NOTE “THE ANDREW MARR SHOW” MUST BE CREDITED IF ANY PART OF THIS TRANSCRIPT IS USED THE ANDREW MARR SHOW INTERVIEW: (Presented by Jeremy Vine) WILLIAM HAGUE, MP FOREIGN SECRETARY JANUARY 20th 2012 JEREMY VINE: Now the hostage crisis in Algeria was brought to an end yesterday, but further loss of life has been confirmed. The Prime Minister told reporters this morning that three British nationals have died. A further three are feared to have died and a British resident was also killed. And I’m joined now to talk further by the Foreign Secretary, William Hague. Good afternoon. So you have some precision now about the numbers on the British side? WILLIAM HAGUE: Well the numbers have got clearer of course with the end of the military operations there, the numbers that the Prime Minister gave. There are three British nationals who have died and three who we fear, three who we believe to have died, in addition to one person who’s not a British national but was resident in the United Kingdom. There were twenty-two other British nationals caught up in this terrible ordeal. They are now back in the United Kingdom, I’m pleased to say. We brought them back and BP brought others back on chartered flights during the night. So they are being reunited with their loved ones. So apart from the people who have died, everybody is 1 now accounted for, apart from those six people plus one UK residents who we think have died or fear have died. JEREMY VINE: There are conflicting accounts in the papers today of whether those who died in the last 24, 48 hours were killed before the final assault and triggered the final assault or whether they were killed during it.

  • Additional Material for Chapter 2: Press Regulation Section Numbers from the Book Are Used When Relevant
    Dodd & Hanna: McNae’s Essential Law for Journalists, 24th edition Additional Material for Chapter 2: Press regulation Section numbers from the book are used when relevant. Its content provides fuller explanations and context. 2.1.1 Fragmentation of press regulation A deep concern among the ‘mainstream’ press organisations and many journalists was that Leveson’s proposed regulatory system included an overseeing ‘recognition body’, to be created by statute (and therefore in a form decided by politicians). Leveson’s aim was that this body would decide whether to approve (‘recognise’) any regulator funded by the press, and therefore how the regulator would operate. The idea was that - if recognition was granted - there would be periodic reviews of the regulator’s effectiveness, in terms of promoting standards in journalism, to check if its recognised status remained merited. Leveson did not recommend that such recognition should be compulsory for any regulator the press established. But, as explained below, he designed a legal framework which could financially penalise press organisations – potentially very heavily - if they did not sign up to a ‘recognised’ regulator. Critics of the recognition concept say it offers potential for future governments to interfere with press freedom, by exercising influence through the role of, or powers granted to, the recognition body—for example, by giving it powers to insist that a regulator, to retain recognition, impose tighter rules on the press, with harsh penalties for breaching them. Supporters say that such ‘recognition’ oversight can help ensure that a recognised regulator is completely independent, in its decisions on complaints against the press, of any press group funding it.
