A backlash from politicians after Britain's top tabloid newspaper is accused of hacking into private messages involving the Royal Family and leading celebrities. There's pressure too on the former editor of the paper in the spotlight -- he's now the opposition Conservatives' top spin doctor. Just how realistic are the G-Eight group's climate change targets? A specialist voices scepticism. A report from India on more than eighty deaths in Gujarat from drinking adulterated home-brew. And a debut opera from an unlikely source -- flamboyant pianist Rufus Wainwright.
